The Chicago Platform. Tf there is any meaning in the Chicago f hffrrtn. that meaning is disunion; it means national hu miliation. submission to an arrogant and defiant en emy. and disgrace to the American flag and name both at home and abroad What ot her interpretation can be honestly put upon the second of the Chicago srewflirtions—the one which contains the pith of ftli ? In it the con tention ' explicitly dec-are*" that immediate efforts shall be i.-rude' Tor the cessation of hostilities, with a view to an ultiniatcconvcntion of all the states &c. Now, is more than one construction possible for siicli words ? In the "first place, they demand that the nation shall beseech ihe"insurgent leader* for a sa£iot of hostilities. They allege as the reas on for this prostration Gf the country at the feet of Mr Jeff Davis, the distress of "the people and the failure of the war. They say to the rebel leaders, in efh a: "The nation has tried to put down your effort and failed: it is sick, weary, full of misery, weak, unable to continue the straggle, you are the strongest, oh. J. Davis, have pity or. us" Is this true; is the country to degrade Itself thus by bowing to the rebel leaders ? Arc the A- ready to sue humblyfor a cessation of hostilities an usurped power that no very e.t pd such ft thing of us ? It is impossible to believe they have yet fallen so low. Bat some of the political Artful Dodgers will tell the people :"We mean Union, nothing less ; a ,?os satiou cf hostilities only gives room lot argument, nr. J we aro certain that the relief will at on e offer to roawito the Union whea we cease to fight them These who utter such things know that they are trying to derive the people: they cannot help but know it. They must know what is notorious to all the word, that the rebel have not once; but a dozen, aye fifty times, refused negotiation upon any other basis than the recognition of the Confederacy. The Chicago Convention knew tin-: the men who framed these resolution., and tuose who adopted them knew it, Mr. Benjamin in formed them and all ' the coufiacap," officially, upon this point but a few days ago. when he wrote that Jefferson Davis bad toid Colonel L quess at Ilichr.iev'l —"that the separation of the States was an ae ccmnU-Ued fact; that he had no authority tor©. Helve proposals fdr negotiations except t>> virtue cf hto office as President of an itdependent Con fedcracv, an ! on this basis alone must proposals be made lo Aim. The committee who framed the Chicago resolu tions were perfectly informed that on • • piece dent conditional one. of the recognition of the Con foderacy. would the rebel leaders consent to nego tiate—and in the lace of this they demand negotia taonl Is it notclear as light that they mean> consent to Davis's condition ? that they intend the destruction of the I nion '■ that they liave this ob ject, and tins alone, in view But the Artful Dodgers may still insist that a •"cessation of hostilities does not imply consent te rebel terms of peace, that we can stop and talk, and then go cn again." But why stop our arm ies and fleets, when they are now so severely pres sing the enemy ; why relax the f.rm grip they have of the not -ter rebellion! Who is to be benefit ted by this ' 'cessation of hostilities ?" Is it .Sher man? Does Farragut weed a trace—or wu! not rather the rebel general in Mobile be glad <>t such an opportunity to strengthen his works and increase his force? Will Grant, in Virginia, ben ■cfit bvan armistice ?or wilt not rather Lee re joice it that which gives him time to lay in a new tore of supplies and rest his troops .' When a body Hfce the Chicago convention de clares its policy, we must suppose that they have soberly considered it; they wake them.-ex -.as re sponsible for all its consequences: if they demand and Insist upon a " cessation of hostilities, it i< Because, In their opinion, the nation ought to agree to the terms upon which the public enemy has de clared his readiness to consent to snob a tempora ry stoppage qf active war. Now. what are the • terms, to which, in the opinion of the Chicago con vention, the nation ought to consent ? The Rich • mocd Examiner, an official organ of therebel lead ers, tells what they are: "If the North desire- to have negotiations for re-union entgreu upon at ail." sars this official organ of Davis, M let all troops and blockading Sects be withdrawn, pfidthc right of iice-ssion iormaily acknowledged, and theft ne gotiatiotis would le at least possible.

There was a lage Criminal lis. and a con-idarable nmhher of important civil hu iness disjuiuihed. We have heard many favorable opinions expressed ot the new Judge. The ba-iiieau of the Court was dis patched m a t| . y manner, indicating the well-read lawyer and the accomplished gentleman. Puring the progress of business he rarely obtni ded hi j Axelf — permitting matters while they were proceeding righj to shape their own course when nc did so, it wa- witu such eminently fit directions, and withal so kind and courteous a manner, that t e were reC.ivcd With little of the cavil and wcaogle so often seCh in tftJurts-.

His taimess in his charges, showing the law clearly and not seeking to invade the province of the jury, wa- much admired. Btit his integrity which is uninfluenced by aught of sympattiy or antipathy, and a remarkable eapaci y.iOf "keeping his judgment in obeyance," per mitting him to see his way clearly when the mo ment of determination came, was perceptible to all.

It is dated 2tj milles south off Atlanta, 6 o'clock yesterday morning, but was detained by the breaking of the telegraph lines, mentioned in my dispatch of last night, fie says : As already reported, the army withdrew from about Atlanta, and on the 30th had made a break ol the West Point road, and reached a good po sition. front which to strike the .Macon road—the right ( Howard ) near Jonesboro; the left (Seofield) near Rough anb Ready, and the centre (ThomasJ at (Touch's. Howard found the enemy ihforce at Jonesboro. and entrenched his troop*. the salient within half a mile of the railroad. The enemy attacked him at 3 P. M., but was easily repulsed, leaving his dead and wounded. Finding strong opposition en the road, advan ced the left and centre rapidly to the railroad, ma ie a good lodgment, and broke it all the way from Hough and Ready down to- Howard's left, near Jonesboro; and by the same movement I in terposed my whole army between Atlanta,and the part of the enemy intrenched iii and around Jones boro. We made a general attack on the enemy at Jonesboro, on the ttrst ol' September, the Four teenth Corps, Gen. Jeff. 0. Davis, carrying the works handsomely, with teh guns and abofct a thousand prisoners. In the night the enemy retreated south- and we •have fo'fowed him to another of his hastily con strncted lines near torejoy's Station, llood. at Atlanta, finding me on his road, the only one that could supply him, and ljetwecH him and a consid erable part of his army, blew up bis magazine in •Atlanta, and left in the night-time, when the Twen tieth Corps, Get. Slocum, took possession of the place. So Atlanta is ours, and fairly won. ■Since the sth ef May, we have been in one con stant battle or skirmish, and need rest. Our los ses will riot exceed 1,200. and we have possession of over 300 rebels dead, 250 wounded, and over 1,500 well. (Signed) W. T. SHERMAN. Major-Gen. A later dispatch from Gen.
