Jef Davis' Terms of Peace.
The last words of Jef Davis to Col.
Jacques and Mr. Gil more were—
-Say to Mr. Lincoln from me. that I shall at any j
time ire phased to receive proposals t"-r ptact. on f/tt 1
basit of our Hep ndence. IT WILL BE USELESS TO
APPROACH ME WITH ANY OTHER."
In a circular to the rebel states, is
sued by Mr. Judah P. Benjamin, rebel
Secretary of State, he thus repudiates 1
the pretended agents at Niagara :
'•You have no doubt seen in. the Northern papers. '
an account of another conference on the subject of '
peace, which took place in Canada, at about the same
date, between Messrs. C. C". Clay and J. P. Holeombe,
Confederate citizens of the highest character and po
sition. and Mr. Horace Greeley,of New York, actin"
with authority of President Lincoln. It is deemed
not improper to inform you that Messrs. Clay and
Holeombe. although enjoying in an eminent degree
the confidence and e-teem of the President, were
strictly accurate in their statement that they were
WITHOUT ANY AUTHORITY I'RuM THIS GOV
ERN.MEN r to treat with that of the United states on
any subject whatever."
Any one who can read can see from
the above that it is not Jef Davis who
is begging peace, but the northern
copperheads.
Sectional Ticket.
We believe since the organization of!
parties in this country no such section
al ticket lias been nominated as that
at Chicago. Pendleton is a member
of Congress from Ohio, and when Mc-'
Clellan entered the army his home was i
also in that State. As a citizen does
not lose his residence by entering the
army, it is a question which might yet
arise whether these candidates do not
contravene thut clause of the Consti
tution which declares that the Presi
dent and A ice President shall not be j
from one State. By the by, where are ■
all the po'itieal mongers who four
years ago had so much to say about a
sectional ticket, although Lincoln was
trom Illinois and Hamlin from Maine?
A Lincoln peace document—The
capture of Atlanta.
—Don't like the war news—The

nominees, but none for the capture "of

called tones—Copperheads don't like
to be called by their proper names-
Rebels don't like the term. We should
think they don't, any more than a
thief or a blackguard likes his occupa
tion to be designated. All this can 1
easily be avoided by exhibiting a little
patriotism, a little love of country,
and a little less defence of southern
rebels.
i
THE McCLELLAN PLATFORM.
The principal plunk in the Chicago
Platform advocates the extraordinary
ground of withdrawing our armies
from rebel territory —for that we take
it means a " cessation of -hostilities" —
and Gen. McClellan is tiius placed in
the unenviable position of being a
" peace on any terms" candidate, even
at the cost of disunion. However
much the copperheads may chuckle at
the idea of having secured a ' general'
to run their 'peace' machine, the peo
ple will as readily repudiate such a
candidate for President as they did
Woodward for Governor, with whoso
views it will he remembered General
McClellan proclaimed he exactly
agreed. Here however is the resolu
tion :
Resolced, That this Convention doe* ox
plieitly declare as the sense of the American
people, that after four years of failure to re
store the Union, the experiment of war du
rin£ which under the pretense of military ne
cessitv, or the war p-wer higher than the
Constitution, the Constitution itself has been
disregarded in every part, and public liberty
and private right alike trodden down, and
the national prosperity "f tlie country eeseu
tially impaired. That justice, humanity, lib
erty and public welfare demand that immedi
ate efforts be made for the CESSATION OF
HOSTILITIES, with a view to the conven
tion of ail the States, or other peaceful means
to that end, that at the earliest practicable
moment peace may be restored on the basis
of the Federal Union of the States.
The Chicago platform proposes an
' immediate cessation of hostilities," and
an " ultimate convention" of {he States,
to change the Constitution so as'to;
smooth the way for tlie return of the
rebels to its protecting folds. To show
how ridiculous this proposition is, says j
the X. Y. Times, such a convention
can be called only by two-thirds of
both bodies of Congress, or on appli- j
cation to that body of two-thirds of
the States, loyal as well as disloyal, i
The amendments, to become a part of
the Constitution, must be ratified by j
three-fourths of the States. Should ;
the proposed course he adopted two ;
years would probably be consumed in
calling the convention, in its delibera- !
tions, and the acceptance of its recom
mendations. In the meantime the reb
els would be enabled to realize at least
81,000,000,000 from the sale of cotton,
and with its proceeds to place them- 1
selves in an impregnable position of
defense. \\ ould not all the time so
gained be so used ?
But is it not perfectly notorious that
such a convention of the States as is
contemplated by the Constitution is,
at the present time, impossible? There
is not half a dozen State s, north or
south, that would join in an appliea- !
tion for one; nor could three-fourths of j
them be brought to agree upon any i
proposition. This was perfectly well
understood by the Chicago convention,
and its resolution, consequently was j
a full assent to the disruption of the j
I nion and to the boundary line claim-!
Ed by the rebels, which is to embrace
every inch of territory polluted, previ
ous to the rebellion, by the touch of
slavery. An Immediate armistice is just
the thing of all others which the reb
els now want. It is what, of all oth- !
ers, the loyal States should most dread.
It would give the rebels all they need
ed to a successful resistance, while it
would render hopeless all attempts at
coercion by the Government.
The complaint that public liberty
and private right were alike trodden
down is another exemplification how
far men can stoop to degradation, for
this same General George B. Model- j
lan was actually the first man in this
war who arrested private citizens, and
went so far as to arrest the entire Mary- j
land Legislature in order to prevent i
them from doing what he supposed they :
would do! Out upon such hypocrites.
George H. Pendleton of Ohio was
nominated as the candidate for Vice
President. He is a full-blooded peace
on any terms man, has steadily voted
against furnishing men and means to ;
cat rj on the war, and is such an abject
tool of slavery and slave dealers that'
a few months ago he declared in a
speech in Congress that even if three- j
fourths of the States—the constitution
al majority—were to declare slavery
abolished in the United States, he
would not recognize their authority,
because he considered slavery ABOVE
the Constitution. He it was also who
objected to a member calling Harris of
Maryland, who hoped to God the rob- !
els would succeed, a traitor! Both
these statements can be verified by the
authorized publications in the Globe. |
It Atlanta, or Petersburg, or Rich
mond tails, said the Kichmo?d
iner of last Wednesday, the Chicago
nomination will be like last winters
; now. Well, Atlanta has already tal
len, and if the former faithful ally of ;
democrac-y is a true prophet, Lincoln
w dl be the nest President.

WAR NEWS,
OFFICIAL WAR EULLETIN.
Grant Wants but 100 000 More
Men to Finish the Rebellion
and Restore Peace
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 —S p. m.
This department, has received intelligence
this evtning that Gen. Sherman's advance
entered Atlanta abou' noon today. The
particulars have not yet been received, but
telegraphic communication during the
night with Atlanta direct is expected.
It is ascertained with reasonable cer
tainty that the naval and other credits
required by the act of Congress will amount
to 2U0,00U, including New \ ork, which
has not been reported yet to the Depart
ment; so that the President's call of .July
10 is practically reduced to 300,000 men
to meet and take the place of—
First —The new enlistments in the navy;
Scorn/ —The casualties of battles, sick
ness. prisoners and desertion; and
Third —l he hundred days' troops, and
all others going out by expiration of ser
vice this Fall.
One hundred thousand new troops
promptly furnished is all that General
Grant asks lur the capture of Richmond
and to give a finishing hlow to the rebel
armies yet in the field. The residue of the
call would be adequate for garrisons in
forts and to guard ail the lines of commu
nication and supply, free the country from
guerillas, give security to trade, protect
commerce and travel, and establish peace,
order and tranquility in every State

CAPTURE OF ATLANTA!
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2d, 1u.45 p. m.—
Dix, Aiv York: — i The follow
ing telegram, from Major General Sloeum,
dared this day in Atlanta, and just received,
confirms the capture of that city :
"Gen. Sherman has taken Atlanta, and
the 20th Corps now occupy the city.
"'J fie battle was fought near that place,
in which Gen. Sherman was successful
The particulars are not known."
11. H. SLOCUM,
Major General.
An unofficial report states that in the
battle fought near Lost Point, by Gen.
Sherman, with Hood, the rebel army was
cut in two, with very heavy loss to the
enemy, and that Gen. Hardee was killed.
Our loss is not known.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. 1864.
An official report this evening from
Nashville states that the damage done by
W heeler to the railroad will be speedily
repaired, and that Wheeler had retreated.
Gen. llou>scau is in pursuit. Also, that
in an engagement between Rousseau and
\\ heeler's forces, the rebel Gen. Kelly was
mortally wounded, and is in our hands.
A dispatch from Gen. Sheridan states
that Early has retreated up the Shenandoah
\ alley and is pursued by Sheridan with
his whole army; that Averill had attacked
Vaughn's cavalry and captured twenty wa
irous, two battle flags, a number of prisoners,
and a herd of cattle.

The Capture of Atlanta Confirm
ed.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4, 8 p. m.
Gen. Sherman's official report of the
capture of Atlanta has just been received
by this Department, it is dated twenty
six m'les south of Atlanta, at six o'clock
yesterday morniner, but was detained by
the breaking of the telegraph lines men
tinned in my despatch of last night.
"As already reported, the army drew
from about Atlanta, and on the 30th
had made a break of the West Point road,
and reached a good position from which
to strike the Macon road, the right (Geo.
Howard) near Jonesboro, the left at (Gen.
Schofield) Rough and Ready, and the cen
tre (Gen. Thomas) at Couch's. Howard
found the enemy in force at Jonesboro, and
entrenched his troops, the salient witbiu
half a mile of the railroad. The enemy
attacked him at 3 p. in., and was easily re
pulsed, leaving his dead and wounded.
Finding strong opposition on the road, I
advanced the centre and left rapidly to the
railroad, made a good lodgment, and broke
it all the way from Rough and Ready down
to Howard's left, near Jonesboro, and by
the same movement I interposed my whole
army between Atlanta and the part of the
enemy entrenched in and round Jonesboro.
We made a general attack on the enemy
at Jonesboro on the Ist of September, the
19th Corps. Gen. Jeff 0. Davis, carrying
the works handsomely with ten guns and
about a thousand prisoners. In the night
the enemy retreated south, and we have
followed him to another of his hastily-con
structed lines, near Lovejoy's Station.
Hood at Atlanta, finding me on his road,
the only one that could supply him. and
between him and a considerable part of his
army, blew up his magazines in Atlanta
i and left in the night time, when the 20th
Corps, Gen. Slocutn, took possession of the
place; so Atlanta is ours, and finally won.
Since the sth of May we have been in one
constant battle or skirmish, and need rest.
"Our losses will not exceed 1,200, and
we have possession of over 300 rebel dead,
250 wounded, and over 1.500 well.
"W. T. SHERMAN,
"Major General."'.
-V later dispatch front Gen. Slocutu, da
ted at Atlanta last night, the 3d, 9 p. m ,
| states that the enemy on evacuating At
lanta destroyed seven locomotives and
eighty one cars loaded with ammunition,
j small arms and stores, and left fourteen
pieces ot artililery, most ol them uninjured,
and a large number ot small arms Deser
ters are constantly coming into our lines.

Dispatch from Admiral Farragrit.
1 he Navy Department has received the
following from Admiral Farragut:
Flay Shm Hartf.ni, Went Guff Block
. uthntj S'j<i'i<lron, Moh-lc Blip, August 25,
ISO I. N'-r: I had the honor in my dis
patch No. 01, iO state to the Department
that rurt Mdrgan had surrendered on the
j 2od inst. to the army and nary, though at
the time that dispatch was written and
mailed the ceremony of surrendering had
not taking place.
1 he Department will perceive the terms
| of capitulation were the same as in the case
of I'ort Haines. Gen. Page endeavored to
j obtain more favorable terms, but without
! success.
I regret to state that after the assembling
| of the rebel officers, at the appointed hour
of 2 p. ni., for the surrender outside of the
foit, it wa* d.scovered on an examination
of the interior that most ot the guris were
; spiked, many of the gun carriages wanton
ly injured, and the arms, ammunition and
provisions, etc , destroyed, and there was
every reason to believe that this had been
done atter the white flag had been raised.
it was also discovered that Gen Page
and several of his officers had no swords to
i deliver up; and further, that some of those
which were surrendered had been broken.
The whole conduct of the officers of Fort
Gaines and Fort Morgan presents such a
. striking contrast in moral principle that I
cannot fail to remark upon it. Colonel
' Anderson, who commanded the former,
finding himself in a position perfectly un
tenable, and encumbered with a superflu
ous number ot conscripts, many of whom
were boys, determined to surrender a tort
which he could not defend.
In this determination he was supported
by ail his officers but one; but from the mo
ment he hoisted the white flag he scrupu
lously kept everything intact, and in that
condition delivered it over, whilst Gen.
i Page and his officers, with a child sh spite
; fulness, destroyed the guns which they
had said they would defend to the last, hut
which they never de'ended at all, and
threw awav or broke those weapons which
they had not the manliness to use against
their enemies; for Fort Morgan never fired
a gun after the commencement of the
bombardment and the advanced pickets of
our army were actually on its glacis.
As before stated, the ceremony of sur
render took place at 2 p. ui , and that same
afternoon ail the garrison were sent to New
Orleans in the United States steamers
Tennessee and Bieuville, where they ar
rived safely.
Very respectfully, your obd't serv't,

Extract of a letter dated 49th Pa. V.,
Potomac river, August 29, 1804.
Friend Gazette—This beautiful au
tumn afternoon finds me on picket du
ty along the Potomac, some two miles
north of Harper's Ferry. Our regi
ment is now encamped near Ft. Dun
can, where we have been since Thurs
day evening last. In looking through
last week's Gazette. I sec Brown town
ship has voted against the soldier's
right of voting. There lives in that
township a farmer, of course one of
the opponents of the first amendment,
who wrote a letter to a recruit in this
regiment, advising him to deseit and
come home, and lie would see that the
recruit would not be arrested. He
also stated he would give him plenty
of work and the highest wages—that
this was a d—d abolition war, made to
kill good democrats, (such as Wood
ward, Yallandigham, &c., I suppose.)
and he further said it he did not come
home his family would be sent to the
poor house, as greenbacks wi re getting
useless. \V itk such disloyal men as
that in a township, can it be otherwise?
The letter has been preserved, and can
be produced in two hours ride from
your town. 1 know both men. The
recruit always was a democrat before
enlisting, but has since said that when
such men as the Brown township far
mer belonged to the party, he did not
desire to associate with such a mean,
cowardly disunion set as that. It is
very discouraging to have such would
be friends at home writing to a Union
soldier. I for one would not wish to
have anything to do with them, and I
think flax ropes would be very sub
stantial neck ties for sueh copperhead
sneaks as infest many places through
Mifflin county. My wish is that the
next draft may bring some of them to
the army, and ere many months roll
around they will get their eyes open.
I wonder what they think when they
look back to the time when the Army
or the Potomac lay at Harrison's Lan
ding. when MeClellan told President
Lincoln to order a draft and bring out
men, as he must have reinforcements!
" How are you draft ? ' They don't
see it now—but MeClellan for Presi
dent—he will end the war—he will
stop the draft—he will have plenty of
gold, silver, kc.
I am sure if the vote at home goes
as it will in the army,it will be " How
are you. President Lincoln ?" for four
years more. Hoping the Union men
will put in their big licks, and that our
glorious flag will never be trampled
under foot by the southern traitors, I
. remain yours, &e o. •
