The Chicago Platform majorities for Congress are reported as follows : Me Veytown 25. Bratton 1, (caused by a railroad colony,) Oliver 42, Decatur 6, Brown 30, Now Armagh 8, Menno 30. Union majorities—Wayne and Newton 5, Old Armagh 41, Union 31. These figures leave Johnson, for Congress, who is ltiwcst on the Chicago ticket, a ; majority on the home vole of about 34. I A report from Blair gives the Union j majority at oniy 450, which would ren der Congress and Senator extremely doubtful. At the time we go to press we have nothing from Huntingdon or ! Juniata. Philadelphia is reported at 5000 ' Union majority, Allegheny 7000, votes i which indicate a close contest in the { State. Ohio and Indiana are reported Un- ! ion by a large majority. THE PEACE MEETING —After a great deal of exertion on the part of the sub- j mision and peace on any terms party, the patent democracy of Mifflin, Juni ata, Centre and Huntingdon counties assembled in Lewistown on Saturday ! last. The day was appropriately bleak and stormy, with an occasional cold shower, which dampened the ardor ; of the majority considerably. Capt. W hiskywas of course in attendance,and played a conspicuous part in tbe pro gramme. The procession as it was termed comprised as motely a group as could be scared up anywhere, its main feature being women, babies, girls and boj's, for it was clear to any one with half an eye that not one-third were voters. Among them were thirty-four ladies dressed in McClellan mourning. Among the incidents which created no little merriment among Union-lookers i on was the fact that a calf followed the procession through Third street, occasionally calling for its ma ! The circus performance having been gone through, the faithful, with a large \ number of Union men proceeded to tho stand, but tbe latter with some of the former, soon retired in disgust at i hearing vile tirades against our gov ernment, language calculated to pre pare tho public mind for Disunion, and the most infamous slanders which cop- j perhead vemon could suggest. Joseph W. Parker, a young man with brilliant talents and a good mind, but whom the demagogues of the party will not suffer to remain in pursuit of a busi ness in which lie might acquire both honor and fame, agaiD forgetful that on the breaking out of the war he had demonstrated the rebels had. no cause whatever for their rebellion, indulged in a , coarse and vindictive attack on the government. lie was followed by anotber Parker, from Mifflin town, who proved conclusively that a full-blooded northern copperhead, but for the lack j of dourage, would be as bad as ten town burning and murdering rebels. Botb these speeches as well as one delivered by Oilv Gammon, Esq., alias Beal, or Dean, of Philadelphia, would have been more applauded at Richmond than they were here. One of these fellows was badly taken down by a soldier, who in answer to the question who could show a gold dollar, said "I can!" And again, when the speaker with crocodile tears was deploring the high price of coffee, he was told by the same blue-coat, "Why don't you come down to the army and get the best for nothing!" Copperhead drop ped coffee like a hot poker. In the evening another meeting was held in the Town Hall, where the Parkers m finished their abuse oi the government of the United States! Thus ended the "great" demonstration of Mifflin, Juniata, Centre and Huntingdon coun ties, which, with the hundred women who came to town that day with their children to draw their relief orders, would have made a respectable county meeting, but as a representation of four counties, numbers of whom came to see "Micclellan and Pelican," was small potatoes, for it is a mooted ques tion whether there were not as many Union men in town that day as pa tent democrats, including all shades of peace at any price copperheads, dis unionists, submissionists, tories, and some honest democrats who have not yet discovered that the patent democ racy of the present day is to the let ter the nullification doctrine of Gen. Jackson's time. B*%,Andrew Reed, Esq., addressed a little audience at the Town Hall on Thursday evening last, in which he undertook to demonstrate that the north could not subjugate the south. Now we should like to know what Mr. Reed and other speakers mean by such language? Are they in favor of recogniz ing the south? If so, where is to be the division line? Will they yield Maryland, and with it Washington City, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ac.? Come, gentlemen, if you are ready for disun ion, speak out and let the people know it. This is not a mere political cam paign, but the life of a nation, our fu ture welfare and those after us, are at stake.

WASAINGTON, Oct. 7 —1140 a. m. In a recent dispatch if was mentioned that Gen Sherman was taking measures to protect his communications from the rebel forces operating against them. Dispatches received last night show the fulfillment of the expectation. Maj. Gen. George 11. Thomas was sent to Nashville to organize the truops in his district, and drive Forrest froui our lines, while the attention of Gen. Sherman was directed to the movements of the main rebel army in the vicinity ot Atlanta. On the 4th of October the rebels had captured Big Shanty, but were followed up closely by Sherman. On the 6th a severe engagement was fought by our forces under Gen Jno. E. Smith and the rebel forces under General lorrest, in which the rebels were driven from the field with heavy loss, leaving their dead and wounded in our hands. The details are given in the following dispatch from Gen Thomas : NASHVILLE, Oct. 6—11.30 p. m. Hon. E. M Stanton, Sec'y. of \V<ir: 1 he following telegram is just received from Chattanooga: Gen. Smith, who left that place yesterday, fifth October, tele graphs that the enemy retreated last even ing from Alatoona, moving in the direction of Dallas, leaving from four to six hundred wounded in our hands. Our loss is abuut 100 killed and 200 wounded. The railroad bridge near Ilmggold was washed away yesterday. S. B. MOORE, Asst. Adjt. Gen. The Resaca bridge will be repaired by to morrow and the trains will be able to run as far as Alatoona, going via Cleveland and Dalton. Nothing further has been heard from Sherman since my dispatch of yesterday, but the retreat of the enemy towards Dal las incicates he was close upon the rear at Alatoona. have not heard from Gen. Rousseau or Washburne to day, but presume they are pushing Forrest as rapidly as the condition of the roads will admit. . M e have had heavy and continuous rains for the last five days, rendering the roads and streams impassable. I have just received the following dis paten from Gen. Granger, dated HUNTSVILLE, Oct. 6—lo p. ra —The courier reported wounded in crossing Elk river is in. He lost the dispatches while crossing tbo river. He reDorts that two rebels were captured yesterday, who say that they left Forrest at Lawrencebur" the night before crossing south. Gen. Morgan s advance was skirmishing with the enemy this a. m. on Span's creek, he being unable to cross the creek on ac count of high water. He hopes to be able to cross by to morrow morning, when he will push them still further on The Alabama railroad will be repaired from here to Pulaski in one week. GEORGE H. THOMAS, Major General. Another and unofficial dispatch reports as follows: Telegraph repaired to Alatoo na to-day. The action yesterday was se vere, French attacking with his division, 7,000 strong, and suffering heavily, leaving his killed and wounded in our hands to the number of 1000, while we lost only 3000. 1 lie fight lasted sis hours altogether From Florence we hear that Morgan has Forrest cornered has captured his t;ans portation, and tint the gunboats prevent ail retreat across the icnucssee. Satisfactory rep rts of the operations in progress before Richmond and Petersburg have been received, but their details are not at present proper for publication. A dispatch from Gen Stevenson reports an officer of Gen. She idan's staff just ar rived. Gen. SlTeridan was still at Harris sonsburg 11i3 supply trains were going on all right, occasionally interrupted by guerilla parties, tiie only force on the road I his officer brought in the remains of Lt. John It. Meigs, of the Engineer Corps, and only son of brevet Maj Gen. Meigs, Quartermaster General, who was killed by bushwhackers on Monday last, while making a military survey. In the death of that gallant officer the department has occasion to deplore no or dinany loss. Last year he graduated ai, the military academy at West Point with the highest honors at the head of his class, was commissioned as a Lieut, of engineers, and was immediately sent into the field. He performed meritorious and dangerous services during the last year on the fortifi cations at Baltimore, at Harper's Ferry and at Cumberland, and was make chief engirt eer in the army of the Shenandoah. In the campaigns he accompanied the army under Sigel, Hunter and Sheridau iu every position. lie gave proof of great professional skill, personal courage and developed patriotism. One of the youngest and brightest orna merits of the military profession, he has fallen an early victim to murderous rebel warfare. Gen. Rosecrans reports that Gen Ewing made good his retreat to Rolla, losing only a few stragglers, a"d the killed and wound ed by the way were very few. From the number of the wounded rebels, the enemy's loss will not fall much short of a thousand hors du com but. EDWIN M. STANTON. Sec'y of War. Reports have been received by the War Department, from Generals Butler, Slier man, Thomas, Sheridan and Burbridge, showing the favorable condition of milita ry affairs in heir respective fields ot oper ation General Rousseau reports that Forrest has escaped him by crossing the Tennessee in flat boats, above and below Florence, on the 6th inst, while he {Rousseau) was de tained by high water in Shoal creek aud Elk river. WASHINGTON, Oct B—l2 o'clock m This Department has received the fol lowing reports of the enemy's assault yes terday upon Geo. Butler's line, their subsequent repulse, and Gen. Birney's brilliant action, driving the enSoiy to their inner iine of intrenebments around Rich mond. At 6.40 p m , the enemy, having moved Fields' and Hoke's divisions from the left, at Chapin's Farm, around to ouj right, at Darby town road, attacked with spirit Gen Kautz's cavalry in the intrenchments, and drove him back, w'th small loss of men, but with the loss of his artillery. The enemy suffered very considerable loss in this attack. The enemy then swept down the in trenchments towards Birnev, who, having thrown back his right, waited their assault and repulsed it with a heavy loss on the part of the enemy. The enemy, in the meantime, advanced toward Newmarket, hut they were met by a force at the signal tower at 3 p. m I took the offensive, sending Birney with two divisions up the Darbytown road. The enemy has retreated as he advanced, and Birney has reached and occupied the entrenchments which the enemy took from Kautz, and were fortifying for themselves. A later dispatch says, Gen. Berry has regained Gen. Kautz's old position, and holds the . enemy in the inner line of in trenchments around Richmond, extending from Darbytown road to connect with Weitzel on the left near Fort Hamilton. There has been no movement at Peters burg to day. We have secured the best of this day's work A thousand at least of the enemy killed and wounded, a hundred prisoners, and a bloody repulse. WOODSTOCK, Va., Oct. 9,9 p. m. To Lieut Gen. U S Grant: I have the honor to report my command at this point. To-night I cotumened mov ing hack from Port Republic, and met Crawford at Rridgewater and Harrisonburg yesterday morning. The grain in front of this point ha 3 pre viously been destroyed in urmng back to this point. The whole country, from the Blue Ridge to the North Mountain, has been made untenable for a rebel army I have destroyed over two thousand barns filled with wheat, hay and farming imple raents, over seventy mills filled with flour and wheat, have driven in lront of the army over 400 head of stock, and have killed and issued to the troops not less than 300 sheep. This destruction embraces the Luray Valley and Little Foot Valley, as well as the main valley. A large number of horses have been ob tained, a proper estimate of which I can not make Lieut. John R. Meigs, my engineer offi cer, was murdered bej-ond Harrisonburg, near Dayton. For this atrocity all the hocses within an area of 5 miles were burned. Since I came into tbe valley, from Harper's Ferry up to Harrisonsburg, every train, every small party lias been hushwhacked by the people, many of whom have pro tection papers frpm commanders who have been hitherto in that valley. The people here are getting sick of the war Heretofore they have been living in great abundance. 1 have not been followed by the enemy up to this point, with the exception ola small force of rebel cavalry, that showed themselves some distance tehiud uiy rear guard to day. A party of the Bth Ohio cavalry which I had stationed at the bridge ( ver the mouth of the near Mt. Jack son, was attacked hv Gen. McNeil wiih liU uen while they were asleep, and the whole party dispersed or captured. 1 think that they will soon turn up. I learn that fifty of theui reached Win chester. McNeil was mortally wounded and tell into our hands This was fortu nate. as he was the most daring and dan gerous of ail the buskwhackers in this section of the country. P. 11 SHERIDAN, Major General. STRASBURO, Va., Oct. 9. In coining back to this point, 1 was not followed up until yesterday, when a large force of cavalry appeared in my rear. I then halted my command to otter battle, by attacking the enetnv. I became satisfied that it was only all the rebel cavalry of the Valley, com manded by Roper, and directed Tor bert to attack at daylight this morn ing. and finish this saviour ot the Valley. I he attack was handsomely made. Gen. Custer, commanding the 3d cav alry division, charged on the back road, and Merritt, commanding the Ist cavalry division, on the Strasburg pike. Merriit captured five guns, and Custer captured six guns, with their Caissons, battery forge, &c. The two divisions captured 47 wagons, atiibu lances, &c. Among th wagons cap tured are the headquarters wagons of Roper, Lotuax, Wickham, and Colonel Holland. Ihe number of prisoners will be about .>3O. The enemy, after being charged by our gallant cavalry, were broken and ran. They were followed by our men. on the jump, twenty-six miles, through Mount Jackson "and across the north fork of the Shenan doah. 1 deemed it best to make this delay ot one day here and settle this new cavalry general. The eleven pieces of artillery captured to-day make thirty-six pieces captured in the Shenandoah Valley since the 19th of September. Some of the artillery was new, and never had been fired/ The pieces were marked "Tredegar Works." P. H. SHERIDAN, Major General.
