Jef Davis' Terms of Peace, The last words of Jef Davis to Col.

IT WILL BE USELESS TO APPROACH ME WITH ANV OTHER." Chicago Blue Light Patent Democratic Platform. Resolved , That this Convention does ex plicitly declare as the sense of the American people, that after four years of failure to re store the Union, the experiment of war du ring which under the pretense of military ne cessity, or the war power 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 of the country essen tially impaired. That justice, humanity, lib erty and public welfare demand that immedi ate efforts tie made for the CESSATION OF HOSTILITIES, with a view to the conven tion of all 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. Anj- one who can read can see from the above that it is not Jef Davis who is begging peace, but the northern copperheads. The Assessment of Soldiers. One of the most important duties devolving 011 the different ward, vigi lant, and county committees, is the immediate assessment of the soldier, citizen of such localities, now serving in the army or navy of the United ►States. The 40th section of the act regulating elections by soldiers in actual military service, requires every assessor to assess and return a county tax ot ten cents upon every non-com missioned officer and private, and the usual taxes upon every commissioned officer known to be in the military service of the United States or this State in the army; and when any omis sion shall occur, the omitted names shall he added by such assessor to the assessment and list of voters, on the application of an}- citizen of the elec tion district where such shall have a right to vote if not in such service. The township collector or county treas urer is bound to receive taxes aforesaid from any person who may offer to pay them. We recommend that in all the election districts where these assess ments and payment of taxes have not already been properly attended to, that committees be at once formed to per form the work. —Gold fell 20 percent, on Saturday, and yesterday was quoted as low as 215. —The soldiers of Perry have nomi nated Joseph Bailey as a candidate tor Congress in opposition to the copper head Glossbrenner. Every bench was full, and many per sons had to stand in the aisles.—Dem ocrat. And yet the chairman kept bawling "Come forward, gentlemen, plenty of room in front!" This is about equal to making Abner Thompson and Colonel Irwin recent converts to patent dem ocracy. —The blue-light Chicago platform, since McClellau's last strategetic change of base, is already falling to pieces, the New York Daily News, Metropolitan liecord, and Freeman's Journal having denounced him as un worthy of support. The first named, the leading democratic paper in New York, justly suys that the platform is the soul of the party and the candi date the body—the latter subject to die, the former not —and as the candi date will not stand on the platform on the convention to re-assemble and nominate somebody that will, Vallandigham is also kicking, having refused to speak. Go it. blue-lights' THE OCTOBER ELECTION The ticket to he supported by the Union men of Mifflin county on Tues day, 11th October, having been com pleted, it may not be amiss to call at tention to it. ABRAHAM A. BARKER, of Cambria county, our candidate for Congress, is emphatically a working man—one of a class seldom nominated for such an office, the lawyers, doctors, generals, colonels, &., having general ly managed to secure it among them selves —and as such ought to be sup ported with more than ordinary zeal. Mr. B. possesses talents of a good or der, sound judgement, is of untiring industry, an unquestionable Union man, and will not only be found at his post but ready to support the govern ment and our noble soldiers in all mea sures necessary to settle up the rebell ion which is even now crumbling to pieces under the vigorous blows of Grant, Sherman, Farragut, and other heroes. The peace party ot course nominated a lawyer of Ebensburg, who besides being an intriguing politician, a peace on any terms man, and ultra on the slavery question, possesses little notoriety except that acquired as "big canal break" manager in 1838, in Mor ris township, Huntingdon county, un der the Ritner administration, where if he was half the rascal the democra cy always made him out, he must be a sweet one, and hard to swallow with democrats who have any principle left. For Senators, the conferees nomina ted KIRK HAINES of Perry, and LEWIS W. HALL of Blair. It was of course a work of considerable delicacy to se lect two candidates from six counties, but having done so to the best of their ability, we cheerfully accord them that support which every Union man in the district ought to give them. Captain B. X. Blair of Huntingdon, Edmund Blanchard of Bellefonte, and D. W. Woods of Lewistown, were presented to the convention by their different counties. The first named failed only we think from the fact that it would have given Huntingdon two out of four candidates for Senate and Assembly, and left three out of the six counties composing the districts without any members at all —whereas by the course adopted the least possible number are in that situation, namely, two, and al though our own is among the number, we shall not complain. Mr. Haines is pretty well known as a citizen of New port, Perry county, of sterling integri ty, well-informed, and industrious ha bits, recommendations which strongly commend him to the people. Mr. Hall has had three years experience in the Senate, of which body he was Speaker, and being one of that class who has raised himself from comparative ob scurity to prominence, of course has made enemies; but the best evidence of his character and standing can be formed from the fact that his fellow citizens of Blair county have invaria bly given him a larger majority by hundreds than any other candidate on the ticket, and no doubt will do so again. Such facts speak louder than words. for Assembly, the district conven tion nominated JOHN N. SWOOPE of Al exandria, Huntingdon county, and JOHN BALSBACH, of Port ftoyal, Juni ata county. The first named eyjoys a high degree of popularity as an exem plary citizen, of good attainments, and the latter, who is not unknown up the river, creditably represented Juniata, Snyder and Union in the last Legisla ture. Being sound Union men, who will faithfully take our interests in charge, we cordially recommend them to the people as worthy of support. Of JOHN \\ . \\ ILSOX, of Menuo, our candidate for Commissioner, it is hard ly necessary to say a word in commen dation, as no man in the Valley stands higher in public estimation. He is but a continuation of that class- of men who have for ten years past been se lected for that office, and who have managed the affairs of this county with singular wisdom and economy. His opponent, curiously enough, was se lected by the peace democracy from the only district in the county which polled a regular democratic majority against the aoldfers' right to vote. John (pike) Taylor, their candidate, says he didn t vote against them, but as it is well known not a republican or war democrat in the county was oppo sed to the Ist amendment, where did that democratic majority come from ? Why from the same men who will electioneer, support, and vote for John Taylor. By the by, John, if you was the soldiers' friend, did you electioneer for their right to vote ? for Auditor, John 11. Whitehead beingquite as good a man as Mr. Wei ler, of course there will be no reason for supporting the latter. But the contest is not for men , but PRINCIPLES. On the one side is arraj ed a ticket whose party and members have placed themselves under a cow ardly platform which advocates an immediate cessation of hostilities and a consequent withdrawal of our ar mies from rebel territory, wrung from the conspirators at the expense of the blood of many a noble Union man, who fell a martyr to the flag of our country and support of its government —a party whose members even now advocate disunion by declaring, as ma ny of them have done here and else where, that the administration ou<rht to recognize the rebel government. They too hold fellowship with and cite such men as Vallandigham, Cox, Pen dleton, Voorhees, Ancona, Stiles, Den ison, Wood, &c. as democrats, though these .men have steadily opposed the war, and many of them even made the boast that they had never voted for a man or a dollar to prosecute it, but on the contrary have done their utmost to give vigor to the rebels by throwing obstacles in the way of the regular authorities. Contrast this with the men on the Union ticket, who have all along and do yet advocate a vigorous prosecution of the war, because it is a ... _ • vindication of the Supremacy of the Laws and the Government over the villainous doctrines of Secession—doc trines which, if once recognized, would utterly destroy our common country, and in time render it an easy prey to some designing "Napoleon," just as M exico fell into the despotic arms of France. The surest and shortest way to peace undoubtedly is to give tone and strength to your soldiers in the field. They like words of encouragement, and will fight the better under them; but tell them once at the ballot box that the stay-at-home men are for a cowardly cessation of hostilities at the ve ry moment when the conspirators are about to pay the penalty of their crimes, and who will rejoice and who will be despondent? Any tool can tell you that the rebels would fairly yell with delight, while the poor Union soldier would feel that all his patriotism, all his bravery, the life-blood of his com rades, the maiming of thousands, had been in vain. But we have no fears of such a result. There is too much patriotism, too much love of country left, even to give color to such an as sumption bj- voting for men who have more to saj* against your own Govern ment than they have against the rebel. General Sherman's Account of the Capture of Atlanta. LOUISVILLE, Sept B.—in answer to 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 August, pursuant to a plan cf which the War Department had been fully advised, I left the 20th Corps at, the Chattahoochie bridge, and with the balance of the army I drew off from the siege, and using some considerable artifice to mislead the enemy, I inarched 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 com pletely Lea'en on the Ist, and during the combat I pushed the left of the ceutre rapidly on the railroad above and between Rough and Ready and Jonesboro. 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 carried them, cap turing Brig Gen. Gorman and about two thousand prisoners, with eight guns and mud) plunder. Night alone prevented our capturing all of Hardee's corps, which escaped south that night. The same night, Hood, in Atlanta, find ing all his railroads broken and in our pos session, blew up his ammunition, seven locomotives, and eighty cars, and evacuated Atlanta, which, on the next day. Septem her 2, was occupied by the corps left for that purpose, Major General Slocum com uianding; we followed the retreat of the rebel army to near Luvejoy's Station, thirty miles south of Atlanta, where, finding it would not pay to assault, as we had already the great object of the campaign—viz: Atlanta. Accordingly the army gradually and leisurely returned to Atlanta, and it is now encamped eight miles south of the city, and to-morrow will move to the camps appointed. I am now writing in Atlanta, so I could not be uneasy in regard to our position. We have as the result of this quick, and, as I think, well-executed move ment, twenty-seven guns, over 3,000 pris oners, and 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 o 000 prisoners, whereas, our aggregate loss will not toot up 1,500. It' that is uot suc cess L don't know what is ' W. T. SHERMAN, Major General. There is no war news of interest Two Pa. regiments surprised a rebel work on the Weldon road, and the 9th Cavalry drove a rebel regiment in Tennessoe, capturing a number of prisoners, dtc. A great battle is looked for at or uear Petersburg. James M. Vanzant, of Comp 1v,22d Cavalry, was wounded in several pla ces by a shell at the battle near Berry ville, A a., about three weeks ago. He is now at Sandy Hook Hospital. —Vermont held an election last week, and gave the Union candidate for Governor 21.000 majority, and on Monday Maine swept eopperheadisni out ot sight. Snakes don't thrive in that region. —The Democrat is afraid the Union papers will get paid for publishing the Schedule of Stamp Duties. It is en tirely out, as they gel no more for that than they do tor publishing official war news and other items which are not often found in democratic journals. The schedule is of much interest to all classes, and hence we published it. Save your Money and Encour age Home Manufactures.
