PRESENT INDICATIONS' CP THE 'NEXT llivrtn—c
WHERE OUR TROOPS EXPECT TO WINTER—A SEN.
SA.TION'RIIMOR IN , HICHMONTo.
We have enjoyed, tWo days in succession, an mil'
preoedented quietness: How long this oppressive
silence is to continue will probably depend on cir
cumstances. It may bathe - calm that precedes the
storm which is toburat forth-soon with ter:riffe fury.
From the movements of 'Lee and the disposition of
his forces, if is expeoted tbstt:the nekt grand engage•
merit will be brought about by the attack of the re
bel commander. Present appeat;lnees rather indr
cat° that the vicinity of the Weldon road will be the
scene of the nest conflict, but all that may be a ruse
de guerre to induce General Grant , to concentrate his
troops there, that thewily rebel Chieftain map, by a
quick movement, hint his massed' levees against
some less protected portion of our line. He will
hardly be able to out-general the Oommunder of the _
forces of the 'United States. • - - • - •
In consequence of the freshening up.of the wea
ther, rendering camp life rather uncomfortable un
der present circumstances, our troops are a• little
.
impatient at the necessary delay whieht irreoedes
the movement that is to furnish them with winter
quarters in either Richmond' orb Petersburg. In
one of these rebel strongholdi they expectto camp
soon, ifot, however, without enciniriteringza bloody •
resistance. • • - (••••
From the Richmond Engriirer of•yesterdPry I ap.
pend the following article in reference to Peters
burg:
"After many SundaYs of rumorloss - cairn; Rich
mond succumbed to pressure on yesterday,. a'nd'
satisfied the greedy quid nunes with a tale=roman
tie,' of course, but none the less easy to go- the
rounds. It was to the effect that. General Lee was
abouttci astonish the world by a granditrategloal
evacuation of Petersburg, the which, however, has
not yet occurred—at least' had not up to the time
the train left yesterday afternoon. Passengers state
that no such news was current in Petersburg ; on
the contrary, the military routine there had the ap
pearance of a design on the part of General Zee to
stay there during the war, and possibly make it his
permanent residence. There was nothing of in
terest from the front yesterday or Saturday."
The slag-okruce boat which wont up the Samos
river several days ago has not returned yet. The
complications involved in the exchange of prisoners
seem to require some time for adjustment.
Poker's Poems of the War.
.We take it that directness, plain expression, and
Eimplelorce of language aro among the charaoteria.
tics of true pcietry. Those who cannot, or will not,
write so that "he who runs may read," do not find
their place in the van where stand the true poets.
When the mind is filled with thought, spontaneously
does the thought throwitself into labguage, (" wreak
itself into expression ".are Byron's fine words,) and
the result , is what the world calls Poetry. There
have just been published, by Ticknor Sr, Fields, two
volumes, in which is exhibited the difference be
tween word-spinning and poetry—between the un
intelligible and the lucid. Robert Browning, the
Englishman, is a verse-maker; George H. Boker,
the American, is a true poet. Read (if you can) the
"Dramatis Personm " of one and the War-Poems of
the other, and perceive the difference between them.
Browning's new volume is diffuse, dreamyy.and
unintelligible—the long-winded rhapsody of a ver
sifier—his _own Sir Oracle. Boker's "Poems of
the War" are:direct, concentrated, natural, rhyth
mical, earnest, active. Browning loiters on the
road, without any definite goal to reach. Boker
spiritedly advances, bound
. directly for a certain
point, and carries you
_along with him to it without
pause, In a word, still judging of the two writers
by the volumes this day before as, it maybe saidithat
Browning is a muddycanal, and poker a clear and
gushing _river._ ,The. Englishman evidently sits
down to think what he shall write ; the American
writes what he thinks, and his ,poetry is spontane
ous. If Browning cannot write what ordinary read
ers can understand, without. straining their mind
to make out his hidden meaning, we . ;hope never
again to encounter him ; but -We shall be glad to
read another volume of Bokees poetry as .soon as
it may please him to present it. ,
. .
Out of the war have arisen numerousincidents
and passages worthy of being honored in Song,
1. Almost countless lyrics have thus been called-forth;
for the most part, the writers' aspiration far ex
ceeded their ability. Dir. Boker is among the best,
if, indeed, not actually the best, among the true
Poets who have written on the events and characters
-before Lonllow, Whittier, and lioliies',l
gfe Ira
vantage being that he is dramatic:where they are
didactic. lie seizes upon. the action of a circum
stance, and evolves It in a dramatic manner. In
"Before Centreville ho treats of the - retreat in
this living spirit, and the incidents pass before us
as in a rapid panorama—the strife, the . onset, the
.
Sight, the useless appeal to the fugitives, and then
the creeping back to the Capital: .
!, On I stole, s
With hanging head and abject soul,
Across the high embattled ridge;
. __And o'er the arches - of the bridge.
SO freshly pricked my sharp disgrace,
I feared to meet the human face. . ,
- '„,Skulking, as any woman might,
Who'd lost her virtue in the night -
And sees the dreadful glare of day
• Prepared to light-her howeward way,
Alone, heartbroken, shamed, undone,
. • I staggered into Washington I"
So, in the poem "On Board the Cumberland,"
what spirit, what life is there in the combat. with
the Merrimac—what force in the incidents—down
to the crash, to the downward plunge of the doomad
ship, and to the last moment the flag fluttering at
the peak ! Again, in " Tho Sword-Bearer,” cer
tainly 'one of the finest of modern ballads, what
actuality, as well as action, is there •in the little
negro lad to whom Morris had entrusted his sword,
following him with fearless fidelity and trust,; sink
ing at last - withea - firm grasp of the weapon, and
when rescued, and to life slowly restored, giving
back the sword only
.to him who owned it !
Again, in "The Ballad of New. Orleans," how
vivid is the description of the strife ! no pause for
description or detail ; nothing to .oheck.the rapidity
of the action ; nothing to weaken the culminating
climc.2, when .
"Ober the river came floating
The sound of the morning gun ; - - •
;And the stare and stripes danced up the halyardS,
'And glittered:against the sun." - •
'We need not multiply examples—the book is full
of them.
The volume; as its name implies, contains a large
number•of Poems
. upon the War which Rlr:Acker,
patriot: as well . is poet, hair written in the last thine
years. We need,not, particularize them. Wo sub=
join the introductory lyrio, which is new : "
• INVOCATION..
0 Country, bleeding from the heart,
If these poor songs can touch thy Woe,
And draw thee but awhile apart • -
From sorrow's bitter overflow, .
Then not in vain
• . ,This feeble strain
About the common air shall blow. • • •
As David stood by prostrate Saul,
So wait I at thy sacred feet :
I reverently raise thy pall,
• To see thy mighty bosom beat.
• - , 'I would not wrong
Thy grief with song ; . •
• • I would but utter what is moot.
Arise, 0 giant! Lo,.the day
Flows hither from the gates of light.
The dreams, that struck thee with dismay,
Were shadows of distempered night.
'Tis just to mourn
What thou Met borne ;
But yet the future has its right.
A glory, greater than the lot .
- Foretold by prophetsas tobe ; -
A tame without the odious blot •
Upon pi_title to be free,—
"Whe jeer of foes, -
• the woe of woes, •
God's curse and sorrow over thed.
•
• Above the nations of the earth
Erect thee, prouder than before !" '
• _ Consider Well the trial's worth,
• And let the passing tempest roar,!
• It spends its shook,
Upon a rock:
• Thou shaft outlive a thousand more.
Through tears and blood I saw a gleam,
Through all the battle smoke it shone;
A voice I heard that drowned the scream •
Of widows and the orphan's' moan . :
An awful voice
• That cried, "Rejoice !"
A light outbreaking from God's throne.
At the close of these. Lyrics of the War are ap'•
pended half a dozen miscellaneous poems. Of these
"Prince Adeb” and " Abon's Charity," very much
in the manner of Tennyson's blank verse, take the
lead. Their subjects are Oriental, and their senti
ment and local coloring are also of the East. There
is a personal tribute to Elisha Kent Kane, and a
dirge, written last November, which will dim many
an eye with tears. Now, having read Mr. Boker's
volume with pleasure, we leave it to the appreeta
tion of the vast army of general readers. It will
live.
Notwithstanding the advance in paper, composi
tion, stereotyping - , printing, binding, engraving,
and wages, the rise In the retail price of new books
is comparatively small, nor do we find that there Is
much diminution in the numbor of really good•
works. The recent issues by D. Appleton & Co.,
New York, illustrate both of the above propositions.
They Include the several standard publications.
The.volume, for 1863, of the American Annual •
Cyclepoedia," is the third supplement, to appear
every year, with the view of giving entire com
pleteness to the "New American Cyclopeedla," now
complete in sixteen volumes royal octavo, each
volume containing the world's history for a year,
being also complete in itself. The information,
which includes not only public events, but bbigra
phy, geographical, scientific, legal, Mechanical,
literary, religious, Congressional, financial, and
general progress, is conveniently placed in alpha. •
betical order; for the advantage of ready roterence.

A " Memoir of Mrs. Caroline P. Keith, Mis
sionary of the Protestant Episcopal Churoh to
China," edited by her brother, William C. Ten
ney, is the reoord of a good woman's life. She- was
born in New Hampshire in 18e1 ; was brought up as
a Congregationalist, thence glided into lint
tarianiem, and, while a family governess in the
South, joined the Protestant Episcopal Church.
Well-educated, and always bent on'improving her
mind, she was well qualified to be a teacher. Her
strong anti-slavery feelings, hoyrever, made the
South unpleasant to her, and a marriage engage
ment which she formed with a medical student• in
Louisville, when she was twenty-six, being heart
lessly broken by him, her distaste for the
South increased so much that she left . it. In
her thirtieth year she changed her way of life,
volunteered to go as MissionarY to China, sent 'by
one of the Brooklyn churches, and arrived at
Shanglme early In August, 1850. She devoted her
self there to acquiring a knowledge of the Chinese
language, arid assisted in teachingthe native child
reel:: The 'month after she arrived, a minister, a.
:larldower with Eone child, who had been her fellow
passenger to China, sought her hand,Which she de.
; alined, from. a. belief, that she could:better do her

Of Mrs. Keith's letters. If one-half of, these had
' been omitted, arid a moiety of the temainderredueed,
the : book would have been.more readable.- All
that she wrote about China is worthy Of being
preserved. Her experience, there told, forces upon
ns -the conviction that the PrOtestapt missioh to
the Chinese is all but a failure. Mrs. Keith was
evidently a superior womanwell-educated, labo
'Mous, simple-minded, 'conscientious, and unpreten
tiously pious... She possessed good. sense, too—which
is manifested repeatedly, but nowhere so strikingly
as in a letter to herbrother, the Jest she wrote to
him from Japan, only threamonths before her death,
In which she protested strongly against her niece

was always trouhled,with dyspepsia. No wonder,

ought to have. knoiin •better,) she wrote to a friend
in Idaseachnietts, "Pailsh' you could send me, just

BASH; DUKE IN 0031MAND -OF MORGAN'S
TROOPS—REBEL. ACCOUNT orlMoaaeu'e DRAWL •
—The Examiner says : Col. Basil W. Duke, former.
ly of Gen. John IL Morgan's staff, hasbeenassigned
to the command of 'the deceased chieftain's troops.
Col. Duke is a dashing young offizer, of daring cou
rage and fine abilities..
in this connection - we may say that Gen. Gillem's
official report- of the killingef Geri... Morgan was,
like all Yankee armyreporta, studiously false. Mot
gan's command were•outaide.of the town of Green
ville, and were never engaged with the enemy.
The Abingdon Virginian gives the following an;
thentic version of, the . circumstances under which
the gallant and lamented Gen. Morgan oame to his
death: , • • • •
-
On Satuiday- the 3d. instant r accompanied by the
brigades ' ofGinner, Hodges and Smith, and a de
tachment of Vaughan% with four pieces of artil
lery,..General .Morgan and his staff approached the'
town , of • Greenville, Tennessee. Soonts had
brought the information that the enemy were not
nearer than BulPs Gap, sixteen miles distant, and, ,
in addition, itsguard had been sent late the village
to reconnottre. .Dpon-the report sof the entire ab
sence of the enemy, Cassels battalion - , commanded
by .oaptalii J. M. Clarke, together with the four
guns, were postedsome three or four hundred yards
from the . court house, when General Morgan and
his staff:entered 'and established headquarters at
the residence of Mrs. Dr. Williams, near the centre
of the town. Shortly after the advent of the guard
in town, young Nis. Williams (daughter-in-law of •
the lady at whoa() 'hotted General Morgan had his *
-headquarters) disappeared; a scout was sent for, bat
could -not find her, and, as she returned with the
Iffr7M - fta t /11121411tki r atf;NEW`tAW*M40 4 /11161'114. 1-
tion of Alorgan'S whereabouts, and the strength of -
the guard. • f •
Precaution had been taken to prevent the egress
of persons who. might' convey information to the
enemy, and all the roads and avenues were picketed.
After visiting the ;camps and seeing that pickets
had been 'duly - posted,. General Morgan and his
staff, at a late lour of the night, retired to rest.
Being greatly fatigued,. they slept very soundly,
and were startled from their slumbers about six
o'clock on' Sunday:morning by the elder 'Mrs. Wil
liams, who informed thorn that the Yankees had
surrounded the house. The. General and his staff at
once sprang from their beds, armed themselves, and
rushed out at the opposite door to that at which the
Yankees were thunaering. . • •
On the side of the house where they escaped there
is a 'very large yard ' and gardenovith a great deal
of foliage and a vineyard. - These, - together with the
basement of the old hotel.,at the southwestern ex ,
tremity 'of the grounds, enabled- them to conceal
themselves for a time,, but the Yankees by this time
began to appear so thick and fast'aroundthem that
concealment became hopeless, and they rushed out
to attempt to fight their way through, in the hope
of succor-and assistance from .the battalion so near
at hand. The officers with General. Morgan were
Major Gossett, and' Captains Withers, Rogers, and.
Clay, and a.young gentleman-by the name of John
son, a clerk in the office of the Adjutant General.
At this Utile they warden; except Withers and Clay,
in the basement of the old hotel, occupied by Mrs.
Fry (wife of the notorious bushwhacker and mur- -
darer now in our possession), who was.all the time
calling to the Yankees,laferming them of the hid
ing place of the "rebels."
Seeing escape almost hopeless, General Morgan •
directed Major Gassett to examine and see if , there.
was. any chance of escape' from the front of the
basement' into the street. Major Gassett looked
and replied that there was a glance, bat it was a
desperate one, which General Morgan did not hear,
as at -that instant the Yankees ohargeti up to the
fence separating the hotel from .Mrs. Williams'
grounds, when -the General, with Major Gassett,
Captain' .
Rogers, and Mr. Johnson, sprang out
in the direction of• the .vineyard,; when- the two
latter were captured and the Genereildlied. The
latter had just fired his pistol, and was in the act of
tiring again, when he fell. CaPte.Withers and Clay •
had not been able to get Out of the ..hause, and had
concealed themselves in ornearit.. MajorG-aszett,in
the meantime, sought shelter in the. easement and
vineyard alternately, but could not elude the vigi
lance of Mrs. Fry, who was all the time direciting at.
tendon to his whereabouts. Being the only rebel left
—Withers and Clay having been 'discovered and be
trayed by a negro—Major ,Gassett's ingenuity was'
.put to work to avoid capture. Mrs. Fry knew he
waif in the basement, and the Yankees °were -as
thick around him as snakes in harvest. After
passing to and fro several times between the base
ment and the garden, all the time under • fire, he
finally took shelter in the former, and at an auspi
cious moment sprang into the street, gave Mra: 1 ry
a :parting blessing, in his _exit, mounted a horse
hitched nearby, and. made his escape. A, great
many shots were fired by the Yankees, but the only
one that took effect'was that which killed General
Morgan, piercing his right breast and rangingg.
through diagonally.. Withers, Rogers, Clay, and.
Johnson are now, we presume, in a Yankee -prison,
and Major assett is again on duty with his com
mand. - • •
The General was determined•never to -surrender,
and told members of his staff they must not give up.
Be was heard to say, " they have getter sure," when
he drew his pistol and commenced tiring.. •

Raven OPINIONS ON TES CHICAGO PLATFORM.
The Richmond Senna i contains • the following
article upori.." The - ChlotiO l „Convention—its

We consider the Chicago Convention a very fm
portant event. and 'one'-which; in time, may exor

platform, that is a most ingenious piece of non
commitalism—a masterpiece of art—just what every
platform and compromise Is always , intended to be:
a trap to catch birds of every feather—comprehen

reader, or the' future exigencies of '
Of this kind pf instrument the Chicago platform
is a chef d'teuvre. In this platform,' aken by itself,
so far as concerns our own affairs and interests, we
find nothing either to censure-or to-praise, except in

But taking the Chicago Convention in connection
'with, the causes that occasioned it, the men .who
composed it, the speeches that were 'made; its plat
form; Its nomMations, and all its antecedents and
attendant-.' circumstances, we -find much cause
for congratulation. It is unMistakably the :be in

PIOATIONS -;—ATLANTA A SECOND SEBASTOPOL.
The Cincinnati Commercial has voluminous cor•.
respondence, covering dates from the 2f4hqult. to
•
the 10th inst. The main facts concerning the'opera
tions immediately preceding the fall of the city have
already •been given, at sufficient length to. , make
, them fully intelligible to our readers. Bab it may
be of interest, perhaps, to know exactly what prepa
tiers Hood made forhis retreat when be fourd
self hoodwinked, and what is the appearance, etc.,
.of the town for which a 'splendid army has marched
. and fought—for which thousands have died or been
maimed .for life. We therefore subjoin those.por
.
tions of the narrative touching on these points:
Hood, when he Found his rail communications
- severed, his supplies cut off, and half his army de
feated, began to prepare to abandon the town.. On
the morning of the 18th orders were issued In-At
lanta for an evacuation that night, and, though con
faded at first to the army commanders alone and to
those citizens whose welfare they had especially at
heart, it'was blown over the city by the afternoon,
and fell like a thunder. clap upon the unsuspecting
• inhabitants, who but a day or two' ago had been
hilarious over the withdrawal of Sherman. They
thought him foiled, and put to a last trump of build
ing railroads andoossibly i Agging canals. Every
Tifioolo — utfi
arrested and started south on loot: .Shop.kooperSt
packed up their scanty wares, or found places where
they concealed them. The confusion intensified :as
-night came on, and I am told that the confusion
beggared description The faces of most of the-citi- .
sena wore a look of despair as they turned' their
backs upOn their homes, from which they: were
driven so unexpectedly. The streets were cluttered
with wagons tottering under hasty,: ill-adjusted
loads; the sidewalks swarmed with two classes—the.
fugitives and the wreckers, for be it knowh that in the .
' last hours of the rebel occupation of Atlanta thou
sands of the lower classes, who proposed. to remain,
fell to plundering the abandoned houses and stores as'
soon as their owners disappeared. Staff elixirs
dashed from point to point with gloomy faces, while
drunken soldiers brawled along the banquettes, and
cursed alike the citizens they encountered and : the.
patrols that dragged them to , their commands.
What pen can do justico"to a. scene of rapine, of
anguish, of terror, of stealthy riot and brutality, :
.which .had risen through the thin. crust, bare
- Iy:hiding the hideous elements that go to make
•
up Southern society-in the fourth year of Jefferson:
Davis., With railroads cut on all sides, the trains
- . in Atlanta, 'consisting of eighty-three cars and seven
locomotives, could not be saved. The cars were
.loaded with the ammunition in Atlanta, and divided
• into four trains. They were taken out on . the
Augusta Railroad, about a mile from .the city,
.where the engines wore detached, and dashed
: into..each other at 'the highest speed., The- cars
were fired, and for about ardiour the Most appalling
explosions ensued, making the very _earth tram
. ble. The wreck of. these cars has been visited by
thousands since our occupation. Fragments of
' wood and iron were hurled to an immense distance,
. while the ground in the vicinity is
' torn up, black
tined, and scarred for hundreds of yards. Over one
thousand . bales of cotton, piled up in the southern
, suburbs of the city, were also - given to the torch.
During the afternoon Hood ordered what army pro
visions remained, after filling his trains, to be given
to citizens, and considerable quantities were thus
distributed. • ,
The thunder of the exploding magazines was
heard by the Roth Corps,lnily sevop miles away,
and it, advanced towards the city, the van under
General Ward. The General was met,by the Mayor,
WM) formally delivered up the city,' and requested
that. the drunken rebel stragglers who were skir
mishing with .our men, and with maudlin courage
retreating slowly step, by step before a hundred
times their number, should be dispersed. This was
done, rapidly, and then began the, entree into the
City.. Our troops entered - the city with music and
Sags, marching proudly' erect. The inhabitants
looked on sullenly for the most part, though there
was, an over-proportion of females. ho held their
; smiles, like , other favors at a cheap rate. Some
peered timidly from behind blinds others ate their
humble• pie morosely and unflinchingly - on : the
street corners, and some no doubt . innocent old
ladies were duly concealed in impracticable pliceS
to avoid 'a fate which they flattered themselves was
imminent. A fine flagstaff was found on the Frank
lin Printing House, where the Memphis. Appeal
has-been printed ;the StripeS and stars were soon
flung to the calm sunny air amid the cheers of the
braNe men who had fought for so manyweary, con
suming days .to place it there. General. Slocum
established his headquarters at the Trout Haase,
the leading hotel of the city, overlooking the public
square.
The city at one time contained 20,000 ,pepple, is
quite large, well-built, and has the look of newness
• indigenous to railway contra,. Mani of the private
'residences are quite tasty, and those in the business
quarter are lofty and built of brick. The depot is,
as it has a right to be, in the centre of the city. It:
is commodious, and, tifough , "needing paint, is in:-
good repair, save the ticketAlbices, which
need glazing and re fi tting. 'Adjoining the depot
is a public: square; containing', about ;three
.acres of ground.. It bt now encumbered with stray .
' hospital bunks, broken boxes, miscellaneous debris,
:flanked (which is reversing the usual order) by
little patches of sward. The square is surrounded
by an.open board fence, strangely intact.. There are'
several good-looking churches, the most handsoe
of them being near neighbors in a cluster, handsome a square
from therdepot. The court house is.a fair specimen
of the American public building. it has one green•
block all to itself, and a handsome cupola: - -The -
streets are not ft gularly laid out, shooting eut occa
sionally at acute angles, and only the leading ones
are paved. •
The ruins of several large buildings ,by fire, are
observable on the principal streets.' S omei of them
are of ancient date, and> but one, citizens. say, re
sulted, from our. firing. The extensive car shops
have not' been destroyed, but their machinery was
'sent, two months ago, to Macon, and., other points.•
. None of the buildings in the city were-fired at the
evacuation.
Altogether, Atlanta has an exceedingly brisk and,
"citified" air. Its business has been,large, as one
can tell - by studying the sign-boards,.than which;
perhaps, •no better method exists of gauging the
spirit and enterprise of a town: •The stores are
well fitted , up, and several , of; the- larger ones look
distinguished, even in their emptiness. The hotels,
three or four in number, are spacieus, but decidedly
the worse 'for wear: With the : exception of the
Trout House, they are nearly empty„ and the latter
is by no means in thorough running order. :
Hardly a house in Atlanta, has escaped damage
from the shells which, for over a month, have been
-hurled at it. A single battery him been known to
throw nine , hundred shells into the city between
dark and daylight. This- was largely in esoess of
the average, but the shelling has been very heavy .
tlittughout. The , majority of the roofs in the city
are torn, and the walls scarred. About half a dozen
fires resulted' from the firing. In the room of one
house in which a. correspondent slept the night after
the evacuation, the wall was garnished wit& a rag
- ged orifice made by a fragment of shell, and in the
adjoining .apartment was a. chair...partially d emo ..
molishea by the same irate messenger. The hostess
said Elie didn't mind the shells a bit ; but she forgot, '
whewsbe admitted, a moment after; that - shelled of

perforce take the first assertion cuss grano

One must look, totowever, for the ravages of the
shells, as the damage done by: them is insignificant.
They certainly made the town uncomfortable, but
not sufficiently so to induce even partial evacuation
by the inhabitants. Oar makers of ammunition
seem to improve, as report has it that nearly every
one of our shells exploded.
The fortifications of Atlanta are the strongest re- .

of the city, exoinding in 0140 or two places what
might be termed the extreme suburbs. The para

The Springfield ../2enesb/hrea prints a glowing eulogy
upon the life andeOurse of President Lincoln, from
which we- take• the following: "People may say
what they will of the President, they cannot possi
bly put their hand-upon or point to any other man
in the Republic who represents to the people, north
and sentient Mason's- and-Dixon's line, and to the
whole civilized world,. so much of the honest loy

country as • Abralattuf Lincoln. Ho stands out

and not: alone- by reason of his office—as the
representative of , the republicanism of the repub
lic,. the -champion• of democratic• principles, the
friend of- the Union and the Constitution, and the
foe of all-class -privilege and. class domination.
Every man, loose from the bondage of political am
bition, and•looseefrem the greed di power and the
love of slavery, thinks.well of 'Abraham Lincoln.,
and casts in his lot with him. Thousands of Demo
crate; converted to freedom by the war, have from
the moment of their conversion, become his friends.

ral Schenck describes the 'Chicago. platform in a
speech at Hamilton, Ohio. on Saturday, as follows :
-" The truth is, that neither you nor I, nor the
•Democrats themselves, can tell whether they have

:this way--that•itds either one or the other, or both,
ebuti upon the whole, it is both peace

against. their own. Government.' It seems to have
'been thought necessary that Pendleton should be
put on to' balance McClellan; and McClellan to
talance • Palidleton. I know nothing at all that is
like it, unless it may be the character of the fruit
that is sold - by an old lady who sits at the door of
the Court House in Cincinnati. She is a shrewd out
woman. A . youngsprig of a lawyer stepped up one
day and- saitf.to her:. • You seem to have some fine
apples: Are they sweet or sour 1" The old lady
tried to take the measure of her customer, and find
out whether, his- tastewas for sweet or sour apples.
-Why, sir said she, they are rather acid; a sort of
low tart, inclined to be vereesweete Thus, when
we. come to their leader, atter • this, and inquire
Whether that platform is for peace or sear, he will
.becompelled to say it is rather-acid ; a sort of low
tart, inclined tebe very sweet."
.TEE PEACE MEN IN COUICCIL.—A meeting of
about fifty Peace Democrats was-held on Saturday
.evening at the Saint Nicholas Hotel, to take action
upon General* letter, aLd to consult
_upon thebest means of organizing a Peace party,
and of selecting a peace candidate for the Presi
dency. The - meeting . was called: to order by Mr.
Mullally, the editor of The Metropolitan Record, who
was then cheeen President. Among the gentlemen
present were Messrs: Orton, of . The Day-Book, Mae
blasters of The Freeman ' s Journal, Ben Wood, of
The Daily News, Singleton and Green, of Illinois,
George K. Shell, •of Oreg-bn Breit, of New
York, Chauncey Burr, W. T..Snilth, Anderson, and
others. All the members presentseemed fobs moved
by the bitterest feelings against 'General McClel
lan, denouncing him as having broken his pledge
to the Democratic party, thereby compromising its
enemies in the ensuing, election. Messrs. Shell,
Singleton, and Chauncey Burr were among the
prominent speakers Of the evening, and S. T. Bruit,
of New York, presented the following resolution as
the sense of those present:.
Resolved, That the call be addressed to the Jeffer
sonian Democrats, to .meet at Cincinnati, Ohio, in the
course of the present month, for the purpose of appoint
ing a candidate representing that branch of the Demo

The resolution was unanimously -adopted. The
meeting then adjourned to - next week, when other
distinguished members of the party are expected to
be present. Among the candidates named for the
Presidency, the name's of Which -seemed' to be re
ceived with the greatest favor, wore those of Messrs.
O'Connor, of this city, and Long, of Ohlo.--rribune.
HEART OF Tem NORTH LOYAL.—In this
confusion; conflict, and .uncertainty as to party
Greeds, it issatisiactory'to the true patriot to see
that each candidate rests , his- claims
as
on his
devotion to the Union, and. there is as yet no man
put forward who favors peace, with disunion. It re
mains to .be seen whether the :Copperheads, who
now threaten

vive the first onset of . the breaker? ahead. The
agreement of the candidates ofthe leading parties
for the perpetuation of the elnion.at all hazards and
,at any cost must also convince tho rebels that they
