PROPOSED COMPROMISE.

F~J WASHYXCTON, Dec. 3. The Tinics'correspondent says membera of Congress from North Carolina, Louisiana, Tennessee, ami Kentucky represent those States strongly Unio^. -V"

The Pacific Railroad Co. wift report two routes, 0110 Central, another extreme .South. The Union members propose that the portion of the President's Message relating^to secession be submitted to a committee of one from each .State, and their decision be accepted.

It is rumored that Seward this week will offer conciliatory resolution ), and that John Cochran and other ,proiiiii}^nt members of both parties are engaged in compromise arrangements.

A resoliition wilt be thrust in at the earliest moment, declaring the right of a State to secede at will. Thepreamble sets forth the grievances put upon the South by the North, and the necessity for nil independent government.^ It is urged by some however, that the mo" anient is uudignified, and it may be abandoned. Tho resolution would he overwhelmingly rejected, and the .South ('arolina mem-bers-\*ou!d the 1: withdraw.

House. Mr. tlrovr called up a motion made last session. 1 to reconsider the vote by which the homestead bill I was reported from the committee on agriculture and referred to the committee of the whole on the state cf the Union, lie moved the previous question.

Mr. Phelps said the gentleman from Pa. could call up the motion any other day. It should not now be iniibtcd in, as several members were absent.

Mr. Grow explained the reason for calling up the motion now was that they might have business before the House, for the gentleman knew thai there were special orders foV the first three or four wctks r,f this session,

Mr. Grow yielded to a suggestion to postpone the motion lor the present, that members might liroeced to draw for seats.

On motion of ."VIFlorence, the daily hour of meeting was fixed at noon until otherwise entered. On motion of Mr. tfrow a message was sent to the Senate informing them that a quorum of the House was present and ready to proceed to business.

The House, pursuant to the resolutions previously udepted, proceeded to draw for scats. All members retired from within the bar. As thename of each member was taken from a box and called by tho ck-vk, he came in and made his "choice.

BOI.IVAH, Dec. 3.

Col. J. F. Snyder, commanding officer of this district, who was sent to the liordorhy Fpecial order of the Governor, returned last night, and reports all quiet on the border, and says the State has not been invaded, nor is there any probability of its invasion. No attempt was made to hold the U. fe. district C'curt, and there was no occasion for the Court to leave the Territory. Montgomery and Junnison have hung Scott, Hincs and Harrison, and shot Bishop and Moon, all in the territory. Montgomery's force is about 274 ragged, well-arm-ed thie\es whose chief aim is plunder.
