The Letter of General McClellan.
General McCLELLAIT's letter is an
and a rebuke—an apology to the people for
accepting the nomination of the• Chicago
Convention, and a rebuke to that body for
connecting him with a platform tainted
with the suspicion of disloyalty. It is a
protestation of his own loyalty ; an argu
ment intended to reconcile his own opinions
- with the principles of his *party ; a codicil
to supply the deficiencies in its adopted
creed. General McCLELLAR has, under
protest, accepted a nomination which
- was accompanied with stipulations
which he rejects. The great measure
which the Convention recommended was
immediate peace. This radical principle of
the' Convention its candidate repudiates,
and, in so doing, presents the singular
spectacle of a man who would accept
Wilco at the hands of a party which
he opposes. So far as General Mc-
CLELLAN differs with his party he is
right, but he .cannot he absolved from the
charge of tampering with his Own faith in
treating with those who deny it. Nor will
the Convention which declared for home=
•diate peace consider that he has kept faith
with it, in accepting a nomination and, re . -
jecting a platform which-were, tendered
him as an indivisible gift
There is much in this letter which de.
serves comment, but at the moment before
printing this paper we can only emphasize
lue 'fact that the candidate of the Chicago
Convention is not willing to accept the
shameful position of its representative.
Notes on the Chicago Convention.
Mr. Meninx, of the New York World,
writes what is called " an editorial letter "
to that newspaper, in which he gives his
readers a Democratic idea of what was
done at the Chicago Convention. Mr.
MARBLE is an ingenious man, and knows
exceedingly well that the latitude of New
York is different from the latitude of Illi
nois, and that many things said and dOne
in that Convention would not do to be told
to the more cautious conservative and en
terprising Democrats of the East. From
all we know of that Convention (and our
opportunities for judging were very little
inferior to those, of Mr. MARBLE), we feel
assured that the friends of the cause can
desire no better evidence of the truth of
their own position and the utter falsity and
deceit of their enemies than the plain re
cord of what was done at Chicago. Mr.
Ittensva's letter is rather too long and un
interesting to print in full, but he will ex
,cuse our adding a few notes :
"This one purpose has ruled every mind—how
best to save the Union. You hearil it in every speech,
that teas approved. Every plan was bent to this. It
rang in every cheer. The Union, and the peace
which Union gives.”
The one purpose that ruled the Conven
tion was how best_to secure a dishonorable
peace, and at the same time avoid the po
litical consequences of an open avowal of
this purpose. The speeches most loudly ap
...roved were those of such men as WILLOW;
and Mr. Powßvn, which demanded an un
qualified peace :
"Therefore, it never entered into the mind of any
speaker to catch the attention of this audience with
a joke."
Did Mr. MARBLE hear the speech of Mr.
ALLEN, of Ohio, with its ribald wit and the
many coarse allusions to the President of
the - United States?
"But the Convention had a very summary way of
dealing with these ettremists which does not wholly
appear in the published proceedings, although, to be
sure, these are explicit enough."
It is known that no men were more po
pular in this Convention than "these ex
tremists ;" that no one man received a te'nth
part of the attention shown to Mr. 'PAU
DANDToTIAM ; that no resolutions were more:
rapturously applauded than those threaten
ing civil war, and holding the Convention
together for that purpose ; and that the
men who surrounded the Convention were
intemperate, violent, and extreme in their
denunciations of the Government and the.
Administration. Tkere were declarations
made by the Speakers at the hotels and
written on the lanterns of those who
walked in procession that made the blood
'of the loyal man run cold. There were
men in the Chicago Convention, like
DEAN RICHMOND and Mr. BELMONT, who
were shrewd enough to know that un
less this,spirit was repressed and masked,
the Democratic party would scarcely form
an electoral ticket in the Middle States.
That spirit existed, however, and it was
so powerful and aggressive that it kept the
Convention waiting two days for the plat
form, forced the cowardly armistice resolu
• tiOn into it, and compelled the nomination
•of Mr. PENDLETON. Read over the reports
of the Convention, and it will be found that
Peace men had everything their own way.
Gen. McOnumsx's own friend and cham
pion, ex. General MORGAN, who "knew him
from bOyhood," is a well-known Peace
man, and even VALI% &NORMAN himself did
not find it inconsistent to move the motion
that made the nomination unanimous.
We do not propose to do any injustice to
the Chicago Convention. Its plainest and
most truthful history is our best argument,
het we do not care to have the doings of
this body of discontented and hungry aspi
rants fir office intruded upon the country
as rivalling_or recalling the labors of the
first Constitutional Convention. The men
who shaped the Democratic platform and
placed IdeCLELLAri upon it are making a
deceitful campaign, and they know it.
Ifere in the East they are pretending to be
what they know they are not. After sur
rendering their whole contrivance into the
hands of the rebel emissaries and sympa
thizers; after courting and conciliating'
every noted enemy of the country, taking
men from prison and exile and infamy to
be their champions and friends ; after ma
king a platform which is an awkwardora
promise with treason, containing' nothing
sincere that is not cowardly, they deny
their own deeds, and boldly claini the con
fidence and support of loyal men. When
ilrabarnx,x, therefore, writes from Chicago
that "abut one purpose ruled every mind—
hoW beat to save the Union," he states
'a consoling sentimentality, but what can
•only lie regarded as a meaningless piece of
rhetoric. It is not true. There were not
twenty men in the Chicago Convention
who sincerely believed rin the Union, or
who made any demonstiatious of regard
for the Union that were not intended to
swindle and deceive the people. When
the cowardly resolution proposing an ar
mistice was read, the enthusiasm rose to a
pitch that the deliberations of the Conven
tion bad not known before. The members
rose, and the delight was so intense that
the...secretary was compelled to read it over
again. This is a fact—a mere reference to
what is written as a part of the Conven
tion's history ; and yet the men who thus
howled and screamed over the prospect of
a cowardly peace are boldly paraded as the
•defenders of the Union I
Let our opponents be frank, and fair, and
we shall make a frank and fair fight. We

Dealing with Pirates.
The pirates and blockade-runners, which
have done so much injury to our commerce
and our cause, have been almost exclu
sively built in the Mersey and the Clyde,
paid for with British money, manned and
navigated by British sailors, and chiefly
employed for the pecuniary benefit of Bri
tish merchants, including several members
of Parliament. Blame has been cast upon
Lords PALMERSTON' and' RUSSELL because
they have not used the'law to prevent and
punish such breaches of neutrality. In
fact, however, they endeavored to do so,
rather tardily, but found (as in the case of
the Alexandra) that the law was ineffec
tive. Saving made this discovery; it
surely was their duty, and it was de
manded from them by the comity. of na
tions, that .they would not have allowed
the recent Parliamentary session :to close
without amending the ineffective law, or
introducing anew statute adequate to meet
the present exigency. They neglected this
just and necessary action, and the Foreign
Enlistment act of 1819, passed to prevent
British subjects assisting the South Ameri
can RePnblics, just then starting into spat
modic existence, remains a monument of
feeble legislation. As a general eleetion is
at hainl, perhaps Lord PAnmamsrort wished
to avoid unpleasant or difficult subjects of
discussion.
Various schemes were resorted to, by the
sympathizing pirate-builders, to throw dust
in the eyes_of the authorities at Liverpool
and Glasgow. .Two pirate-Vessels, mlled
the San Francisco and the Shanghae, were
built in-the Mersey, (at Birkenhead, which
is to Liverpool - what Camden is to Phila
delphia or Brooklyn to New York,) and
when official inquiry was made, as to their
owners and destination, the reply was they
were being cionstructecl for the Emperor of
China, and would speedily depart for Can
ton. Of course, this de . ceived nobody, but
the vessels were entered in Mr. Lianu's
books as built for the Chinese: Government:
This same• Laran, it will be remembered,
who is M. P. for Birkenhead, built the in
famous " and said she was to be only
a trader, but she ran out to sea, got RA.-
plum SrAnutts as commander, and finally
was disposed of by the Kearsarge, com
manded by Captain Wins Low. The last
we heard' of the pseudo-Chinese war-vessels
was from the French port of Nantes. They
had escaped from Liverpool and went into
Nantes to be fitted up and receive their ar
mament. A local journal (the-Phare de
la Loiee) informs us that they are in the
docks there, and "in a mysterious manner
being' armed ;" also that, with the aid of
Count de Chasseloup-Laubat, Minister of
Marine, they were being privately fitted,
armed with the chain outside armor which
was found so efficacious on the Kearsarge,
and an eminent engineer was officially em
ployed to watch, test, and report on the
process.
France, it will be observed, does not
even affect to be neutral. Her dock yards
are freely thrown open to'the piratical war
vessels which buccaneer for the rebels.
When - the Alabama required repairs, she
was received at Cherbourg with a warm.
welcome and fraternization, and it was
from that port that she departed, 'hailed
with sympathizing cheers, to fight and
sink the Kearsarge. It turned out, how
ever, that it 'was the - Alabama that was
beaten and destroyed. England, let us
frankly own,• now treats us much better
than France does; her recent order pro
hibiting Federal and Confederate war ves
sels from entering her ports, European or
colonial, will essentially serve us, if her
colonial authorities honestly carry it out.
But, in Halifax, 'in Bermuda, and in the
Bahama Islands, the British Officials, almost
to a man, sympathize with the rebellion,
and would strain-a pbint against any Union
war vessel. Not many months ago, the
Duke of Newcastle, then Colonial Secretary
of England, was compelled by a sense of
duty to reprOve the Governor ,of the Ba
hamas for having openly sympathized with
" Confederate" pirates and British block
ade-runners. It would have been much
more effective
,:to have
,ffismisSed the pec
cant functionary. •
Ihe Emperor of China was named as
having ordered war vessels to be built in
the Mersey, and so, not to be behind-hand,
we suppose, the Tycoon of Japan was re
presented as having directed an iron
steamer to be built in. the Clyde. ,When
completed, she was taken to France, in
April, 1863, where her armament '(two
Whitworth 63-ponnder pi - vot guns and ten
heavy cannon) was put on board, and she
was called the Virginia, but was subse
quently known as the Georgia. Though a
much larger and better vessel than the
Alabama, she did less injury to American
commerce. Some weeks ago, having gone
into Lisbon, she was waited for by the U.
S. steam-frigate Niagara, and, incautiously
coming out of the Tagus, was boarded-and
seized. Her crew and commander were
politely conveyed to Dover, where they
were landed. When the Georgia was
- seized, she bore the British flag, and her
commander—who evidently is not well
posted in Yattel and Wheaton—haa, there
fore, entered a protest against the seizure,
as illegal ! He dishonors a neutral
.nation
by .Sailiarg under her flag, and, we dare
say, - will expect to be borne harmless by
that nation. The impression in England,
we rejoice to learn, was that of great satis
faction at the capture, and could a verdict
be obtained it would run in the words of the
memorable one, "Served her right" The
Georgia, placed in charge of a prize crew,
has been sent to this country.
It is gratifying to, find the destruction of
the Alabama so speedily followed by the
capture of the Georgia. We have yet: to
deal with two other pirates—the Florida
and the Tallahassee. They have to be fol
lowed, met, encountered, and either sunk
or captured. The prestige of, our navy;
which has been greatly injured by the re
markable facility with which the blockade
runners go into and out Of the port of Wil
mington, is being restored by the achieve
ments of the Kearsarge and the Niagara.
We may boast of our navy when it puts an
end to . the blockade-running at Wilming
ton, into which port immense supplies have
constantly been taken by swift British
steamers. But for the supplies carried into
this one central port the war would' proba
bly have collapsed two years ago on the
part of the rebels, who have received the
bulk of their supplies from England.
TIM Union Convention of New York
has, with admirable judgment in its choice,
nominated the Hon. REUBEN FENTON, for
Governor of the Stela. Mr. FENTON is one
of the ablest, best-informed, and most ac
tive members of Congress, and possesses
those qualities which become especially
eminent in a good governor. For this rea
son, as well as for his earnest patriotism,
Mr. FENTON will be,. without doubt, chosen
the next Governor of his State. New York
owes to its own honor to avenge the defeat
of its illustrious and martyred hero, the
noble General WADSWORTH, in the election
of the MM. Mr. FENTON.

Trm Richmond Examiner finds occasion
in the fall of Atlanta to attack JEFF - mum
DAVIS for the removal of Gen. Jon:limn.
"The abandonment of Atlanta m2der the
circurastances, is not a good thing, but so
far from being dispirited by it, our people:
ought reverently to thank God that it is no
worse." This is the dismal - grail:dation of!

lloork's army is'not altogether lost. But
Gen. ,Tormwrow himself could not have

TM?. St. Jolui Tdegraik, of New Bruns
wick, reporting the arrival. of Hon. J. R
HoLcomm, one of the Niagara peace com
miasionera, renders the political opinion o
that gentleman as follows :
" Be thought that if McClellan was nominated at
Chicago an armistice would follow, and an ar
mistice once secured, there would be no resumption
of Bighting, that both sides were too weary of war to
take rip arms again. But as to the Democratic talk
of 'Peace and Union,' he said that Peace might
come, but Union never."
Now, wherein does the Chicago plat
form differ from all that observant Union
men have said of it ? An armistice will
secure Peace, but, according to the con
fession of Mr. HOLCOMBE, " Union never."
It - is plain, therefore, that the platform of
VALLANDIORAM and McCram,Arr advocates
Peace on any terms and at any price I
What shall be said of the political mis
demeanor, or rather the moral crime of
the men who have conferred with enemies
and traitors to bring about such a result ?
RECRIII'XING should be pursued with the
same widespread . energy as heretofore.
The fall of Atlanta has lent a new earnest.
ness to the people, and it should give an
additional stimulus to the agents of recruit
ing. " Credits for volunteers will be al
lowed as long as possible," the Secretary
of 'War. announces, " but the advantage of
filling the armies immediately requires the
draft to be speedily made in the defaulting
districts."
Tam nomination of Hon. THADMUS
STNS for Congress is a just compliment
to this magnificent old hero. Few men
have done more for the country than
THADDEUS STEVENS, and he now gives . to
its service the closing years of a glorious
life with the enthusiasm of a boy and the
earnestness of an old Scottish Covenanter.

Cormraz llicaurnmns heads a call of
" soldiers " who desire to take steps to
raise Arcermmaa , "beyond reach of the
malice of a tyrannical Administration."
We think a soldier who threw down his
sword in the face of an enemy should be
the last person to pretend to represent the
sentiment of the defendtra of the flag.
VICIIMONT has spoken, and, although the
voice of Vermont never gives an uncertain
sound, we cannot fail to see that in the
present canvass she increases her loyal ma

campaign, and we welcOme it as such.
" GENTLEmEn . , this is the little joker ;
now you see it, and now you don't see if."
This is the style in which we must view
the Chicago platform. We may call it
peace or call it war, but it it nothing but a
fraud.
THE Democratic press is getting anxious
about the army vote. The Lancaiter
ielligencer asks, in large "baps," "how can
we secure the soldiers the right to vote as
they please ?" A month ago the only
question with these Democratic papers
was, "how can we not secure the soldiers
the right to vote as they please ?"
THE Democratic leaders regard the vic
tory at Atlanta very much as the great
captain in the olden time " Another such
victory'woula ruin us."
Tn:s Democrats, express wonderful anxi
ety to obtain the soldiers' vote. Not many
weeks ago their anxiety was to prevent the
soldiers from voting.
THE Democratic platform means peace
with rebels, war with patriots. It recoin
mends revolution against Li/100mi and an
armistice with DAVIS.
The Theatrical Season.
This week formally began the dramatic
season in Philadelphia, and our three
theatres are now at the old rivalry, offering
nightly illustration of how one star dif
fereth from another in glory. That Phila
delphia has but three theatres is probably
fortunate for her true theatrical interests,
and the comparison frequently made is not
altogether in favor of New York. The
metropolis has really but three or four first
class theatres, and we are better 'satisfied
to-be without • the places of amusement on
the Bowery and the many badly managed
affairs which combine the theatre, the
circus, the concert saloon, negro min
strelsy, and lager beer saloons, than to
count them a@ proof of our prosperity.
The play-houses in this city sufficiently
amuse and instruct a large public, and
though sometimes they are uncomfortably
crowded, we do not suffer from the lack of
another. All the good artists in America
are in turn presented, yearly to their ad
miiers, and there is no novelty that is not
sought and obtained by our enterprising
managers. Philadelphians have reason to
be well satisfied with their theatres, and in
the long winter nights before us Melpomene
will moan and Thalia laugh -to many thou
sands of delighted souls.
- Ancient comedy, at the Arch-street
Theatre, is annually revived, with a plea
sant regard to the memory of the witty old
fellows who wrote so well that their quaint
pictures of an obsolete society are still fresh
and life-like. Who is ever tired of " The
School for Scandal," or " She Stoops to
Conquer ?" Mrs. join; DREW does well
to keep green the memories of Srcenroisr,
Gonusatrar, and. heir equals.; and does no
little to make their comedies delightful, by
becoming herself their heroines. Perhaps
there is no better Lady Teazle than she.
To such a perforananceno ordinary pleasure

TILE CHICAGO CONVENTION REBIIKEO
THE LETTER OE THE COMMITTEE
NEW Tons, Sept. B.—The following is the letter
of General McClellan accepting the Chicago nomi
nation
bitAlfag i N. 3., Sept. 8, 1864.
GENTLEMIN I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter informing me of my nomi
nation by the Demoorptio National Convention, re
cently assembled at Chicago, as their candidate at
the next eleotion for President of the United States.
It is unnecessary for me to say to you that this no•
ruination comes to me unsought.
I am happy to know that when the nomination
was made the record of my, public life was kept In
view.
The effect of long and varied service In the army.
during war and peace, has-been to strengthen and
make indelible In my mind and heart the love and
reverence for the Union, Constitution, laws, and flag
of our country impressed upon me in early youth.
These feelings have thus far guided the course of
my life, and must continue to do so to its end.
The existence of more than one government over
the region which once owned our - flag is incompati
ble with the peace, the power, and the happiness of
the people.
The preservation Of our Union WWI the sole
avowed object for which the war was commenced,
and it should have been conducted in acoordanee
with those principles, which I took occasion to de
clare when in active service. .
Thus conducted, the work. of :reconciliation would
have been easy, and we might have reaped the
benefits of our many victories on land and sea.
The Union was originally formed by the exercise
of a spirit of conciliation and compromise,, and to
restore and preserve it the same spirit must prevail
in our councils and in the hearts of ihe people. The
re-estabithment of the Union in all its integrity Is,
and must continue to - be, the indispensable condi
tion in any settlement.
. .
So soon as it clear or even probable that our
present adversaries are ready for peace upon the
basis of the Union, we should 'exhibit all the re
sources of statesmanship practiced by civilized na
tions and taught by the traditions of the American
people, consistent with the honor and interests of
the country, to secure su.6h peace, re-establish the
Union, and guarantee for the future the conditional
rights of every State. The Union is the one condi
tion of peace, and we ask no more.
Let me add what I doubt not was, although unex
pressed, the sentiment of the Convention, as'it is of
the people they represent: that when any one State
Is willing to return to the Union it should be re.
of:Wed at once, with a full guarantee of all its con
stitutional rights. If a frank, earnest., and per
alstent effort to obtain those objects should Si, the
responsibility for ulterior consequences will fah
upon those who remain in arms against the Union,
but the Union must be preserved at all hazards. *
I Could not rbok in the face of my gallant corn
redes of the army and navy, who have survived
SO many bloody battles, and tell them that their
labors and the sacrifice of so many of our slain and
wounded brethren had been in vain—that we had
abandoned that Union for which we have so often
perilled our lives. A vast majority or our people,
whethot in the army and navy or at home, would,
as I would, hall with unbounded joy the permanent
restoration of peace on the basis of the Union under
the Constitution, without the effusion of another
drop of blood, but no peace can be permanent with
out Union.
As to the other subjects presented In the reso
lutions of the Convention, I' need only say that I
should seek In the Constitution of the United States,
and the laws framed in accordance therewith, the
rule of my duty and the limitations of Executive
power, endeavor to restore economy in public ex
.penditnre, reestablish the supremacy of law, and
by the operation of a more vigorous nationality re•
Name our commanding position among the nations
of the earth.
The condition of our finances, the depreciation of
the paper money, and the burdens thereby imposed
on labor and capital, show the necessity of a return
to a sound financial system; while the rights of 010.
sees and the rights of States, and the blifding
thorny of law over. the President, the army, and
the people, are subjects of not less vital importance
in war than in peace.
Believing that the views here expressed are those
of the Convention and the people you represent, I
accept the nomination. I realize the weight of the
responsibility to be borne should the people ratify
your choice.
COIIBOIOUB of my own weakness, I can only seek
fervently the guidance of the Ruler of the Universe,
and, relying , on Ills all-powerful eid, do my best to
restore union and peace to a suffering people, and
to establish a guard for their liberties and, rights.

TUE ThiltrrlNG Orr THE "BsentrYwitra."—The
good old frigate Brandywine is no more. We speak
of her now as a thing that is past. Nobly has she
assisted in earning a reputation for the gallant navy
of her country; nobly has she stood the test of
d
years ; nobly di she die freighttld with the food for
those Who now fight for her banner in other vessels.
She was built at the Gosport Navy Yard in 4.821,
and was put in commission in the year 1827, by Hon.
James Monroe, then .President of the United States,
to carry the Marquis de Lafayette from thisconntry
to France. She took fire on Saturday morning at
three o'clock, and burned slowly untti yesterday.
At the time of the outbreak of the flames there were
six hunftred men on board of her, all of whom were
safely taken to the shore. It is not learned in what
manner the frigate took fire, but it is supposed to
have been spontaneous combustion. The burning
hall on Saturday night presented a most magnifi
cent appearance to those who had the good fortune
to witness it. All the port-holes were lurid with
darting flames, while the blackened wood work be.
tWeen them Served to relieve the light, and make it
more striking to the beholder. Early on Saturday
evening the authorities of the navy yard attempted
to scuttle the frigate by firing 30-pounders at her
hull, just below the water-line. She, however; re
sisted even in her last moments, all attempts at
annihilation, and chose rather to die a compare,-
tively natural death. It is impossible to estimate
the amount of loss suffered by Government by the
burning of this vessel. She was full of stores, her
freight having been augmented by the addition of
three schooner loads on Friday.—Norfolk Old Do
minion, Sar.
laioa lisimearrrES.—A gentleman who re
cently arrived at Leavenworth from New Mexico
saw at Fort Lamed a boy of about seventeen years
of age, a resident of Osawkee, Jefferson county,
Kansas, who , had received seventeen shots mills
body. He was also Scalped, and in their endeavors
to get the scalp off his head they had torn the skin
as tar down as isshoulder blades. After this was
accomplished, and in order to ascertain to a cer
tainty whether life was oath:lot, they stuck
their arrows and knives into the flesh laid bare by
the removal of the scalp and skin. The boy en
dured this torture without moving a muscle, con
scious that if he showed the least signs of life they
would kill him. He Is in a fair way of recovery, and
has resolved on revenge, and says Indian killing
will be his future oocupation.—St. Louis Union.
Tun Coors IN WEST VIIIGINIA.—The crops in
the counties of Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, and Mar
shall commonly known as the Pan-handle of West
Virginia, from the best information we can obtain,
is as follows : Wheat, one-third less than last year;
quality, good. Corn, fifty per pent. better; more,
and of superior quality. Oats'
_, one-quarter more;
quality better than last year. Rye crop and quality
good—a full average. Barley same as rye. Hay
much better than last year, but not an average crop.
Potatoes equal to last year, probably one-fourth
more; late onesgood. Applea, the best crop for
some years ; quality good. The ;weather In the early
part of the summer was dry and warm, but rain fell
in sufficient quantities to make corn and potatoes.
The same facts will apply to the counties of Jeffer-•
son, Belmont, and Monroe, in 0114 across the river.

Lotnevuxi, Sept, 8.--In answert o a request that
major General Sherman would give us details of
his late operations before Atlanta, in order to
silence the cavils of those who, in the absence
of particulars, were denying that those operations
were on the whole a Federal success, we have re
ceived the following
ATLANTA, Sept. 7.—On the 25th of A4rust, pur.
snant to a plan of whieti the War Department had
been fully advb3ed, I left the 20th Oorps at the
Cluittahooohie bridge, and with the balance of the
army I drew off frourthe siege, and using some con
siderable artifice to mislead the enemy, I Marched
rapidly south and reached the West Point railroad
near Fairborn on the 27th, and broke up twelve
miles of it. When moving east my right approached
the Macon railroad near Jonesboro, and my left
near Rough and Ready.
The enemy attacked the right wing of the Army
Of the Tennessee and was completely beaten on the
Ist, and during the combat I pushed the left of the
centre rapidly on the railroad above and between
Rough aid Ready and Jonesboro. t
On the Ist of September we broke up about eight
miles of the Macon road and turned on the enemy
at Jonesboro, assaulted him and his lines and ear
ried them, capturing . Brigadier General Gorman
and about two thouiand prisoners, with- eight grins
and much plunder.
night alone prevented our capturing all of Har
dee% corps, which escaped south that night.
The same night, Hood, in Atlanta, finding all his
railroads broken and in our possession, blew up his
ammunition, seven locomotives, and eighty cars,
and evacuated 'Atlanta, which, on the neat day,
September 2, was occupied by the corps left for that
purpose, Major General Slocum commanding, we
following the retreat of the rebel army to near
Lovejoy's Station, thirty miles south of Atlanta,
where, finding it would not pay to assault, as
we bad alrbady the great object of the campaign—
viz : Atlanta. Accordingly the army gradually
and leisurely returned to Atlanta, and it is now en
oaniped eight miles south of the oily, and tomorrow
win move to the camps appointed. I am now
writing in Atlanta, so I Weld not be unemy in re
gard to our position. We have as the result of thh
quick, and, as 4 think, well-executed move
ment, twenty-seven gims, over 8,000 prisoners, end
have buried 400 rebel dead, and left as many
wounded who could not be removed. The rebels
have lost besides' the important city of Atlanta,
stores, at least 500 dead, 2,500 wounded, and 8,000
prisoners, whemas, our aggregate leas will not" foot
up 1,600. If that, is riot saccade I don't know what is.

ELSO, Sept. 6— .EVelltrig.—Te-day quiethag reigned
along .the line, excepting an occasional gun from
the centre o; our line.
Rain has been falling all day and still ContinueS,
with a cold wind-blowing.
Rumors have been prevalent for two days past
that a part of Early's troops had arrived in our
front and were massing on our left flank, necessitat
ing another struggle for the possession of the Wel
don Railroad. Preparations were' made to reosive
them, but thus far, with the exception of a
few guerillas, no enemy has appeared in
that direction. Last evening the enemy in
front of our line, where it crosses the Jeru
salem road, were very jubilant - for a time, in
dulging% loud cheering, which extended along to
the right towards Appomattox. Our pickets hailed
theirs and asked the cause of -the commotion, and
the answer came, " Atlanta has been retaken by ,
Rood." Notwithstanding the improbability 'of the
story it rapidly gained circulation, and caused some
depression for a time. But aeon 'niter a deserter
came in, and reported that one of their_ men had
tied a canteen to a dog's tail, and started him
through their lines, thinking thus to frighten our
men ;,but the dog kept , on his own idde, and his
frightened cries as he sped along, caused the rebels
to cheer and halloo so loud. Thus the matter was
explained:
Yesterday a party of colored recruits arrived here,
and on their way% their regiments got rather near
er to_the front than they had calculated. In pass
ing along an open space, near Fort Morgan, the
enemy obtained a view of them, and threw a shell
or two in their midst. Such a scattering was, really
ludicrous. Abandoning their guns, knapsacks, &e.,
they fled toward the fort, in front of which is a ditch,
- Six or seven feet wide and as many deep, with Rove.
ralinches of water and mud. /nto this they piled,
one'on top of another, evidentlythinking they would
be safe there, while the men in- the fort rushed out
_
and reaped quite a harvest of knaPSaohil, &0., Which
lay on the road. The officer In - charge of the party
seems to haye first reached the trench, and endeav
ored to prevent the me t a from following him, order
ing them 4 . to rally."
When asked what he was doing there he said he
bad not been under fire for some months, and was
rather nervous at his close proximity to the enemy.
Considerable effort was required to extricate the
soldiers from their somewhat unpleasant position,
after which they left to join their commands.
It is to be hopod that if they are ever charged by
the enemy they wlll profit by the lesson they re
ceived yesterday, and not "run into a trap in which
the rebels would like to catch them, and whore a
dozen could keep a thousand without the slightest
fear of escaping. • W. D.

total loss cannot fall short of 500.
The rebel General Humphreys Was mortally

• The . decided repulse and defeat of the enemy by
General Crook's command reflects great credit, on
Gfeneral Sheridan, General Crook, and the tatter's

With respect to the lose of the ambulance train, it
appears there was a sufficient guard furnished to
prevent its capture if a proper disposition had been
made of them. The ambulances have, however, all
been recaptured with the exception of one.
The enemy are believed to he encamped in the
vicinity of Winchester. There has been no change

THEE INDIAN WAR.
GIMBAL StILL7 I I3 EXTBIDITIONA BATTLE-150
INDIANS KILLED—SULLY IN PURSUIT POET
TRITON ATTAWLED.
[Trout the St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald.l
The steamer Calypso, one of the Rocky Mountain
fleet chartered by the Government, arrived yester
day from the .Upper Missouri. She left Fort Rice
on the 16th of August.
A day. or two beforelhe Calypso left Fort Rice, a
messenger had arrived from Gen. Sully's expedition
with the following intelligence : The command had
reached a point one hundred miles above the mouth
of the Yellowstone.
Learning that a baud of 1,000 of the hostile Sioux
were about thirty miles from the road over which
the expedition was travelling General Sully con
cluded to attack them '; and leaving a sufficient
force to guard his train, with the balance of his
command marched to meet the savages. Coming
upon them suddenly, a fiercely contested. battle of
shours ensued, which resulted in the complete
rout of the Indians. Their loss was 160 killed and
.I.l.ortt4t number wounded. Our loss was only 20
and2o or no wounded.
When the messenger left, Sully was in hot pur
suit, and cutting down the red•skins with great
slaughter. It was supposed that the foe would
make another stand, and that a second battle would
ensue.
A messenger had also arrived at Fort Rice frond
Fort Union with the intoWgence that Fort Union
was attacked by Sioux on the 20th oil. They
were defeated with a loss of two killed. gentle
man who was at the fort when it was at tacked gives
the following account:
"At a very early hour In the 'Morning we Were.
aroused from our slumbers by the cry of Indians t ,
In a few momenta the forces were oat, bat the Sioux
kept at a respectful distance ; they succeeded, how
ever, in getting possession of two horses belonging
to a small party of Assinnaboines camped near the
fort. After a few minutes skirmishing with them,
the big gun was brought to bear and &shrapnel shot
fired at them, which killed one as it burst, tearing
the bowels completely out of him. The Assinna
boines, and three or four Mandans and Gros
Ventres, with some of the soldiers, Immediately
gave chase.
"About two miles and a half below they came up
with the Sioux, who turned and gave battle. Quite
a sharp fire was kept up by both aides for a few
minutes, when one of the Mantling succeeded in
killing a Sioux and his horse. After some more
skirmishing it got too warm for the Sioux, and they
retreated, leav in g one warrior and two horses on
the field. The Assinnaboines immediately scalped
their fallen enemy and cut off his hand, bringing
both hand and scalp to the fort as trophies. They
also recovered the two horses. The Sioux fought
bravely, and made some desperate attempts to re
cover the body of their fallen friend,but their efforts
were unavailing. They did succeed, however, in
carrying the body of the one killed by the shell.
Three Aasinnaboines wore wounded by arrows.
"The Indians around the fort had a big scalp
dance—brandishing their bloody trophies aloft,
dan y." cing, drumming , etc., in honor of the great vie
tor
. On the 25th of July the Reet, consisting of steam
ers General Grant, Ohippewa, and Alone, when
near Glass Hills, six miles - below the month of Yel
lowstone, were fired into by about 100 Indians. The
Grant opened on the Indiana with her big gun, and
the Indians skedaddled.
All accounts agree that the Indians are in large
force on the Upper Missouri, with hostile intent,
and we may expect to hear of more hard-fighting. '

The St Paul Press, of the 2d, has the following:
FormArraisonorsnrs, August 25, 18114.—0 n Tues
day evening, about aunset, a messenger arrived, post
haste, and reported to Major Adams that two mon
bad been killed and one mortally wounded, on their
way from Georgetown, by Indians. The Major
immediately started out with about 60 men, mount
ed. A few came back yesterday with the mur
dered men's teams and one dead body, a
Mr. Dean, a German, of St. Cloud. The.party had
started. from Georgetown that. morning (three
wagons) and when they came to a placeiwkere the
road runs close to the edge of the timber, the In
diana ran close up to the wagons and.gred off a vol
ley. One man jumped out, and hull& since been
heard of. The man who was not hurt whipped up
his mules and made his escape.
One of the men was burled by the Indians ; but
the one who jumped from. the wagon has not been
seen since. Mr. Dean lived about one hour and a
half after the soldiers reached him: Jle was per
fectly rational to the last, and stated that there were
about ten Indians.
Pnuruirrow.—A correspondent of the Climinnati
Commercial gives the following notice of the Demo
cratic candidate for_Vlce President: "The opposite
of Cox, in all that constitutes a man and a states.
man, is George H. Pendleton, of Ohio. Pendleton
is a blooded man, being descended from a good
famlly, and having not only the edtication and
manners of a gentleman, but the natural heredi
tary characteristics also. He is a tine-looking
man, with dark hair, inclined to earl, dark; ex
pressive eyes, a. handsome face, -well-ronnded
head generally, and set upon a . well-formed
trunk. It would be massive were it not that
it is in just proportion to the other parts of
the body. He is about five feet nine or ten
inches in height, and weighs probably one hundred
and seventy pounds. Pendleton's external mamap
pears to be In fair correspondence with his internal.
The latter . IS all and evenly balanced, and the
angles are well rounded off. There is nothing In
the mind to offend the taste of the most fastidious.
Although Cox has made more noise in Congress and
out of It than Pendleton,. thelatter stands higher
with the Democracy, and today is the favorite of
the Western Democrats for the Presidency. They
believe that Pendleton is sincere in his belief, and,
therefore, they respect him. He is a peace man in
the strongest sense of the term, and he scorns to
gain a vote in this Convention, by the abandonment
of a principle."
The World says "he is principally known tO the
country as a distinguished lawyer and a member of
Congress." It should say, rather, that he is chiefly
known as the man who publicly "thanked God that
he had never voted or given a dollar in support of the
sear, or in payment of Abolition soldiers." -
HRD Timms Canal:Pa.—A. Wisconsin paper
says, A on the faith lN

with skedaddlers from the United States and the
Confederacy, while thousands of Canadians are
leaving for t iro States to procure work.
