IS 44 :4 vislii:U4V • o,si EVERY COUNTY. lINTON STATE CENTRAL 00MTATTTRE ROOMS, No. 1105 Chestnut Street.—Our friends in every countrand dis trict in Pennsylvania should immediately, without one day's delay, send to the State Committee a correct copy of their whole ticket, giving plainly the name of each candidate for every office. All this must be done to ena ble the tickets to be prepared to send to the several regi ments of the State. County Committees should also prepare and send With the Commissions their several county tickets, or send a special agent with the Commissions to carry Li accordance with the invitation of the Union State Central Committee, Mr.- J. :w.: Foltrfor Will address his fellow.citizens. at West Chester on the 20th inst., and at Lancaster on the sth proximo. • Old Democracy Of rermaylvania. Under the administration.of Mr. -Mobt . „ ROE there was practically but one party, the Republican,. as it was styled .by Mr. SEE FERSON and his followers, or Democratic. party. This was the era 6f good feeling— Mr. MoicnoE receiving at the election, for his second term, 231 Electoral votes out .of 232.. At the close of the Monroe Adminis tration came the last trial of the Congres sional caucus, which nominated for Pre sident WILLIAM H. CRAWFORD, of Georgia, then Secretary of the Treasury, but which was not considered binding by the Demo cracy. There were, accordingly, put in the field three other Democratic candi dates, Ram 'QUINCY ADAMS, HENEV : and ANDREW JACKSON. The political leaders in Pennsylvania, who were really . Calhoun men, ,met in. convention, at Harrisburg, during the winter of 18234, _and, contrary to their own wishes, were forced, by the universal opinion of the people, to nominate General ANDREW JACKSON, and to put theiri favorite into the back ,seat of. the :Vice Presidency. Mr. ADAMS became the ,Pre sident by the vote of the House of Repre sentatives, and in 1828 and 1832 . General ,TAcKsoli . was elected and re-elected, Penn sylvania always giving her solid vote to her first and only choice, the Hero of New Orleans, the sworn foe and extinguisher of South Carolina' nullification and secession, as taught and practiced by that metaphysi cal traitor,,Joni 0, CALEtoux. In 1844 Mr. POLK was electedand , ob tained the vote of Pennsylvania by one of the interpretations put upon the piped Kane letter by the Democratic editors:and politicians, who swore through thick and thin that it was in favor of a tariff. If the, people had 14DONVIL that Mr. POLK was really anti-tariff, he never could have had their votes, for Pennsylvania is, and al ways has been, a strong tariff State. They were bitterly undeceived by the tariff of 1846, and the October election of that year, signalized by a political, moral, and physical storm, showed the deep in dignation of the people at the fraud deli berately perpetrated upon them. A simi lar attempt to cheat by ,false tokens, by holding up a-peace-at•any-prize-man, in the disguise of an United States , uniform, is now in progress before our own eyes. In the annexation of Texas, Mr. TYLER, and Mr. CALnouN, and Mr. Poria, and Mr. BUOTTANAN recognized and reaffirmed the Pennsylvania doctrine of 1819, of the power of Congress to exclude slavery, upon the admission of a State, from a part of its ter ritory, and, of course, of the whole, if ex pedient, and make it a condition precedent to its becoming a State of the Union. The adinission of Texas produced the war with:: Mexico, and in August, 1846, in a bill recommended by President PoLx, to enable him to negotiate with Mexico for the acquisition .'of territory, the following proviso was introduced: Provided, that as an express and fundamental condition to the acquisition of any territory from the Republic of Mexico by the United States, by virtue of any treaty that may be nego tiated between them, and to the'use by the Executive of the: moneys herein appio priated, neither - slavery nor involuntary servitude shall ever exist in any part of said territory, except - for crime. whereof th& party shall be first duly convicted." This bill and proviso were passed by the House, and sent to the Senate in the last hours of the session, and would hare passed that body but for the unwarrantable conduct of Mr. DAVIS, of Massachusetts, in persisting to speak against time, which defeated all action upon them. So convinced were.. the people and the. Democracy of Pennsylvania of the pro priety of this . proviso, that on the 22d January, 1847, the Senate and House of Representatives passed the following joint " resolution relative to the acquisition of new territory," by a vote of 95 yeas in the House, unanimously, and in the Senate by a vote of 24 yeas to 3 nays: Trhereas, The existing war with Mexico may re' 3ult in the acquisition of new territory to the Union; and, whereas, measures are: now "pending in Con gress; having in view the appropriation of money and the conferring authority upbn the treaty.making power to this end ; therefore, 66 tteso/vid, That our Senators and our Repro" sentativei in Congress be requested to vote against any measure whatever by *which territory will acorue to the 'Onion, unless, as a part of the fundamental law upon which any compact or treaty for this pur pose is based, slavery or involuntary servitude, except jar crime, shall be forever prohibited, " Resolved, That the Governor be requested to forward a copy of the foregoing to each of our Sena tors and Representatives in Congress.” This was done by Governor Suurat, who, with his whole Cabinet, warmly approved of them, and thus the Legislatures and Governors of 1819 and 1847 showed the unshaken attachment of the Democracy, and people of the State to free soil in the Territories of the Union. In the face of this solemn dticlaration of the.people of Pennsylvania, Mr. BUCHANAN addressed a letter to a Fourth of July cele bration, at Reading, recommending the extension of the Missouri Compromise line of 30.30 'to the Pacific ocean—a proposition which shocked and disgusted every, true .friend of his. In order to prevent :the pas sage of the provision recommended by his own Legislature, he published, as Secretary of State, the Constitution and laws of Mexicp, to show that all its territory was frenterritory. The victory of Btiena Vista elected General ZACHARY TAYLOR President of the United States. The Democratic Governor was defeated in .october, 1848. On the 4th of July, '1849, the Democratic Convention to nominate a candidate for Canal Commissioner; to put the party right before the people, passed the following resolution it Resoliyed, That the Democratic party adheres now, as it always has done, to the Constitution of the country. Its letter and spirit they will neither Weaken'nor destroy; and they redeclare that slavery is a domestic local institution of the Sotsth, subject to State laws alone, and with which the General Government has nothing to do. Wherever the State law - extends its jurisdiction, the local institution can continue to exis.t. Esteeming it a violation of State rights to carry it beyond State limits, we deny the power of any citizen to extend the area of bondage beyond its present dominion; nor, do 'fie Consider it a past of the Constitution that slaiery should for ever travel with the advancing column of territorial progress.,, This resolution gave the . Democratic candidate fora Canal Commissioner over 13,000 majority, bin it displeased, shocked, and embittered Mr. RIICRANAIsT, who had been for years . propitiating the South . by worshipping at the shrine of slavery. From 1780 And the time of Pres'ident REED, for . an uninterrupted eriod of severity years, there had• beet;bill one fixed principle. of Democracy upon the extension'of slavery, founded upon a stern disapprobation of the system itself, as cruel and , degrading to humanity, " and a most foal blot upon the American character." This was old Jefer son and Jackson Dernocracy, and we shall hereafter look at the modern Democracy commenced CALHOUN and perfected by I.* grpat disciple, JEFFERSON DAVIS, who gave the law to the two last Democratic Presidents.L Fnor the diaries of officers on board the gunboat: _Galena, during the retreat from. Richmond, it seems to be conclusively proven that General McOLELLAN was part of, the crew, instead of the army, during the battle of Malvern. To which, then, does General MCCIXLLAN belong, the army or t the navy'?-We presume that he is an amphibious general. Facts for the Poor Man. Let us consider the delusions which the poor and the uninformed are apt. to labor under from the teachings of lying politi cians : Ist. They are led to - expect that when General MCCLELLAN obtains power there will be no more drafting. Now, General MCCLELLAN himself ex pressly urged a draft, even before the com pletion .of the enrolment, while in com mand of the army. Still he declares that the military poiver of the rebellion must be destroyed. 'Should negotiations fail to re store the "gnion, he must prosecute the war with even greater vigor, according to his own showing. Now, if he manages to effect an armistice, and retire his navies froin the coasts, his armies from the rebel lines, and disband 200,000 black soldiers, how is he, in the name of common sense, going to resume the war_without making a draft, the rigors of which our poor have never felt before ? SECOND DELTYSION.—Gen; MCCLELLAN will restore the' cuirency to its sound con dition., There will, be no more high prices, and the wages_ of the laboring man will in crease. We caution the honest poor man to be ware of this absurd falsehood. When dema gogues tell them that the financial health of the nation can be restored in a week, or month, or year, or four years, with the methods proposed by McCLELLAsa's pro minent supporters, they utter impossible statements and deliberate untruths. Gen. McCLELLAN is in favor of peace by nego tiation, of an armistice, &e. Very little calculation - will show that any interrup tion to the war before the rebel Government is brought to sue for peace will only serve to prolong it, or create the independence of the South. Our armies are at Atlanta and before Richmond, while SHERIDAN is winning victories in the ?Shenandoah. Stop these armies in the midst of victory, and recognize the South by entering into negotiations whose basis Must be the ac hnowledgment of a Confederacy, and the disgrace of such a catastrophe will produce panic in finance and commerce, and inse curity in society, added to the evils which we endure as part of a state of honest war. But if Gen. MCCLELLAN'S negotiation only succeeds in prolonging the war, what will prevent our debt from increasing at i a terrible rate ? What is to become of GRANT and SRENMAN if General AIcOLELLAN is elected ? Who are to manage his treasury.? Are they FERNANDO Woo and the other eminent Copperheads who propose the as sumption of' the whole Southern war, debt, and at the same time are only in favdr of a reconstruction of the Union ? Are they the profligate and dishonest speculators of New York, who have labored to produce unnatural rises in the price of gold, and artificial depreciation of the currency ; who fight against every measure calcu lated to relieve our finances ? Are they the shoddy contractors., who, having made money from our armies and the Govern ment, having been brought to punishment for fraud and malpractice, are now using their means to defeat the Administration in order to produce such a state of corruption as will enable them to dis guise their dishonesty and to steal more ? • Are they AUGUST BELMONT & Co., the New York representatives of the gold of-the RorrnsonmDs in this country, of the foreign_ idea that 'Americans can be bought, of the pro-rebel ideas of the Lon don Times 7- 'Will General MCCLELLAN be • Ids own financier ? Let the poor man re member, then, that the far greater propor tion of the public debt has been produced by General . MCCIALLAN'S own disasters. No period of the war has been so full of blunder, failure, and prolonged misfortune as the-few years in which he commanded. He was a costly general in every sense. It is proverbial that he required more men than any other general we have had in the field,' and more supplies and munitions than he could ever take care of. Seven months of miserable inaction in Washington, while the Potomac river was left to the rebel blockade, cost us extravagant millions The long delay in starting to the Peninsu la, the indisputable Quaker guns at Manas sa&.:the Chinese_eeneralship rllarlo37.a 'Yorktown, the inexplicable sloth in pur suing the rebels, the absurd blunders of not reinforcing HooxEn at Williamsburg, and not following up his fortunate victory— and the subsequent delay, timid stoppages, demoralizing idleness, unredeemed by suc cess, and only justified by the general's unfortunate vanity—all these cost us ex travagant millions. The " change of base" from Richmond to Harrison's Landing, during which 'General Mc- CLELLAN proposed the destruction of the private equipage and baggage of all his officers and men, after ordering the greater part•of his stores to be burned, was a disastrous movement, which cost us many millions more. The yresence of General MCCLELLAN on the gunboat Galena, and his failure to profit by victories which his soldiers and generals gained in . spite of him, was another costly mistake, , y The acknowledged and oft-repeated fatuity of magnifying the numbers of the enemy so that forces of 40,000 became 100,000, and armies of. 100,000, 200,000 strong—all these vain delusions of the puppet general be came expensive items to the Government. The treachery of Frrz aoulT PORTER • (we can find no milder name for it) was another of the monumental expenses of his military household. POPE'S ca tastrophe may be added to PORTER'S di vision of the bill of costs Yet even after this .:hundred-fold prodigality of disaster, we must again debit our vaunt • ing and flimsy little hero. With his own army and the army of POPE (some what discouraged, we grant, but outnum-, bering the force of the enemy) he marched five miles a day to overtake the forces of General LEE. He reached the enemy in time to fight battles, and fought them in a manner• to render victory fruitless. What GRANT, SHERMAN, and SHERIDAN have not done, he grossly exaggerated his successe& When the Government, with an economical desire which the General did not appreciate, again commanded him to move, the Gene ral declined. Not alone has MCCLELLAN himself been a vast expense to the country, but his eminent lieutenant BUELL has been a ruinous cost and failure in propor- Win. GRANT, with all his victories, has not cost us half as much as MCCLELLAN Or BUELL. Yet Gen. MoCDarzaia's mili tary shortcomings are blamed upon the Administration, so prompt to recognize the genius of GRANT, while the incapa ble policy which was the consequence, not the antes, of his military incapacity, is adopted and avowed by a political party. Now, if General MCCLELLAN can show Us one single permanent good result of all the absurd anaconda strategy, and his amiable anaconda policy, which have been so singu larly strangled in their own coils, we are quite willing to accept the uninterpretable jargon which his friends announce as his principle& But,• in brief, let the poor man ask himself—how much has this spoiled favorite already cost the nation ? It is proposed to restore a military failure and a ruinous policy to power. General Mc- CLELLAN is to be made not a corps com mander, not a commander of a department, but the President of the 'United States—a military and political incuba&to sit upon our victories.. The citizen who is in terested in the price of flour and .coal may well ask himself—how much will it cost me to help WOOD and VALLANDtc aAii to elect MCCLELLAN The Necessity of Reinforcements. The great want of the country at pregent is reinforcements for our armies. The losses in battle from sickness and other causes are such that to carry on successfully the sieges of Richmond and Petersburg, or to thoroughly invest them, our armies must be reinforced. Could GRANT once bring LEE to a general action in the open field, it would soon be over with this pertinacious rebel. If he does so it will be an accident, is it is LEE'S interest to remain inhislines. Hence, it becomes the duty of all good citi zens to exert themselves to furnish the men called for in the coming draft, and, above all, by bounties and otherinducements, to encourage the veterans to' re-.enli r st. One of them is worth more than five, raw . re cruits. Nothing will more thoroughly dis courage our enemies ; nothing but that will convipce them of our earnestness and determination to put down the rebellion. Moreover, it will convince our traducers over the water that we do not mean to be trifled with, that our resources are yet un touched, and that there is not the least evi dence of exhaustion on our part. The rebels expect that our efforts will be, dis tracted by the coming Presidential election. They mistake the peace faction for a party ; they believe in a divided North, and, buoyed up with this belief, they are making superhuman efforts to maintain their posi tion intact. Show them that their hopes are unfounded, and the reaction will be tremendous. A.nd when they are con vinccd we will persevere to the end, they will yield. Their leaders have deceived the masses with the cry that we desired to subjugate them, and that an insurrection was about to break out in the North. These false hopes, like that of foreign in tervention, must pass away. Our deceived brethren, once convinced of our favorable disposition towards them, peace and plenty will again reign throughout the land. Major General D. B. Birney. We have authority for saying that Lieu tenant General GRANT and Major Generals BUTLER, MEADE, and RAwcocur have writ ten a joint letter to the President of the United States, recommending that Major General BERNEY be appointed a brigadier general in the regular army. Thi'S is a well-deserved compliment to an officer who has been with the nation, heart and hand, from the beginning of our struggle until the'present day. General Brim'Ev emerged from civil life, and.joined the A.rmy of the Potomac as colonel of a regiment of Penn sylvania volunteers. He has been in every battle fought by that army, with the single exception of thi , action at. A.ntietam, anti he has won his way steadily up to the ex alted position which he now holds as ma jor'general of volunteers and . commander of the .10th Army Corps. The public may not have forgotten that General 1311MBY, on more than one occasion : , has been as sailed by the hastily-written and ground less attacks of newspaper correspondents. Throughout these cruel and unjust assaults upon his reputation he preserved a soldierly silence, preferring to vindicate himself with his sword upon• the bloody fields of the fu ture than to engage in a pen and ink con test with his anonymous slafiderers. His wisdom and valor have nobly vindicated him ; -and in this letter of recommendation by the highest military authorities of the land—by men who are themselves covered with the glories of innumerable victories General Balmy must receive a satisfaction that is above price in the eyes of a true. soldier. The President will no doubt grant the request with that alacrity which has ever characterized his generous nature where justice was to be done or merit rewarded. FOUR lEUNDRED SOLDIERS, Of Camp Cur tin, citizens of Perry county, renominated the Hon.

LETTER FROM "OCCASION/16'Y WASHINGTON, Sept. 24, 1861 I have been spending a few days in some of our Northern cities, and find abundant cause for congratulation and hope. I must confess I did not realize the deep came' ness that pervades all classes until Twent among the people, and looked them in the eye, and felt the grasp of their hands. The people of the free States mean to re-elect Abraham Lincoln President, and to give him such a majority that all hopes of Euro pean intervention or of Northern •recogni tion, through the triumph of a peace candi date or a peace platform, must 'be forever abandoned. They will do this as an ear nest of their purpose to prosecute the war to a legitimate, speedy, and perpetual peace. We have all had doubts ; of New York. The State is anchored fast in the watereof freedom, but the city, with its vast multitude of interests, its inter course with the distant foreign world, its isolation from national sympathy, and its moneyed aristocracy, is so large ly against freedom that there has been a danger of its carrying the State by virtue of its large majorities and those contri vances so well known to the politicians of New York. Yet, even in New York, I found the McClellan tide on the ebb, and a ground-swell in. favor of Lincoln that may revolutionize even the metropolis. The Democratic leaders were arranging his canvass very much as the Mr. Mica wber of Dickens' story arranged his financial schemes. They would elect their favorite, not by majorities nor by a direct vote of the people, but by some technicality, or quibble, or subterfuge. In plainer words, they had abandoned the canvass, so far as any dire& - fight for preference or even prin ciple was concerned,• and • awaited the 're sult of the election very much as the Saxon king awaited the subsiding of the waters. But the waters will not obey their bidding. In Pennsylvania I found even. a more gratifying condition of affairs. The Cop perheads of that State, and particularly those who congregate in Philadelphia, have been fluent in their calculations for carrying Pennsylvania. If ~any Common wealth would " rebuke" the Administra tion, it would certainly be the . Common wealth that has suffered so much from - the rebel invader. Chambersburg had been burned, the Cumberland valley had been desolated, and the towns along the South- . ern border were liable at any moment to' be captured and burned. Of course, Penn sylvania would " rebuke " the Government that had abandoned her to rebel invasion, and throw herself under the protection of a general who found it impossible, with an army of over a hundred thou sand men, to keep Stuart and a bri gade of cavalry out of Franklin coun ty. In Pennsylvania, however, I found the Union feeling sweeping everything be fore it. The Democrats who fought slave ry in earlier days, and who began the war against rebellion. by making a war upon the great apostle of rebellion, James Bu chanan, are all warm and earnest in their devotion to, the Union cause and the Union candidate. .GenCial Cameron has'made a thorough organization of the State, and, after close examination of the field, has so dis posed his forces that no single point of ad vantage will be neglected. , The Governor is earnest in his support:of the candidates, and those who claim to represent him, and are his special friends, are all laboring with enthusiasm to gain this victory. Such men as Dougherty, Cessna, Brewster, Knox, Shannon, and Champneys, .and hosts of Democrats like • them, who follreng and believe the true democracy that came to us from our fathers, are active and eloquent in favor of Lincoln. In addition to this, I have bad another evidence of the power and energy of your great Union League. The history of the war will be feebly writ ten if 'it does not speak of the doings of this magnifice4 association. — We May TEE P 1 ESB.--PHILADELPHIA; MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1864: Six paymasters, under a heavy escort, started for SHERIDAN'S army this morning, to pay off the troops of that command.

THE *AILS OF THE STEAMER FAWN RECOVERED LARGE NUMBERS OF REFUGEES ARRIVING--cox Naw Yonx, Sept. 24.—8 y the arrival of the steamer Albany, we have received North Carolina advices to the 22d inst : The steamer Fawn, which was recently . cantured and burned by the enemy, contained the Boit= mail of the 4th and sth Inst. and the New York mall of the sth and 6th init. A large portion of the malls have been rescued from the wreck and brought to Newbern. A flag of truce recently brought to Newbern a large number of refugees, many of whom belong to the first families of the State, who are on their way ,North, having lost all confidence in the Confederate cause since the fall of Atlanta. Among the number is the wife of the rebel General Martin. The Wilmington and Weldon Railroad has ad vertised a dividend of ten per cent. The Salisbury (North Carolina) Itratsliman hae the following: "We protest against the inhuman treatment extended to Yankee deserters, who' are subjected to a course of treatment whtoh makes fife far more uncertain than the battlefield gaol*: A general pardon from Lincoln would doubtless re lieve the Confederacy of at least fifty thousand of these miserable beings, provided tbey have strength enough to enable them to make their escape North."

The privations and sufferings of many .cam paigns have - chastened and purified the people. The associations of the canvass are no longer those of the grog-Shop and gambling hell. The men of wealth and taste and respectability have gradually taken this important duty into their own hands, and we see in the Union League what these- men can do in the most sa cred work of citizenship. I know of - no one civil organizatioh that has done-one. half as much for the cause as the Union League. Comprising many men of prince ly fortune, it has given its money with princely liberality to the raising of troops, the care of the wounded and sick, and the management of elections. It is managing the campaign in its own way in Phila delphia, and with characteristic enter prise begins the work by leasing one of the finest public .halls in the city. An agency like this can do a world of good in behalf of a good cause, and I do not think the loyal men of to-day, nor those who come after, to write the story of this great revolution, will be just or grateful if they fail to recognize and rewaud these true and brave men. Thus we see that on all sides the ranks are:closing up. With swords drawn and shields locked the friends of the Union march on to victory. McClellan cannot be elected unless by a trick or a subterfuge; and we not only have the assurance of triumph; but a triumph that shall be over whelming. The country is aroused. Men, women, and children, the soldier, clergy man, judge, are alike engaged in, the Holy Work. Ido not use the words profanely, for it is a Holy Work indeed. We are in a new crusade. We war upon slavery and treason as the early knights warred upon Paganism and tyranny. They saved 'from destruction the <religion of Christ. We shall save from destruction the principle of liberty and law. In this spirit let us con duct the campaign to the close. • VrASEOLINrGrT4CON. VIE CAPTURE OF THE STEAMER FAWN.

The regular poet-bills missing are those from Boston and New 'York of the sth and 6th ultimo. No mail from Washington or Baltimore was lost, as that was sent by steamer via Hatteras Inlet, EX-OOTERNOR DENNISON -AND THE POST- MASTER GENERALSIIIP Captain Dmirusorz, son of ea-Governor Dazrwr sox, who is in Washington, says his father will not accept the Postmaster Generalship, or any other Cabinet office, and that he will only labor to bring aboutn speedy conclusion of the war and a restore•, tion of the finances of the country.

M. Tb Lieut. General U. S. Grant, City Point: I cannot as yet give any definite account of the results of the battle of yesterday. Our loss will be light; General Crook struck the left flank of the enemy, doubled It up, and advanced down their lines. Itickett's diviSion of the 6th Army Corps swung in and joined Crook, Gettrs and Wheaton's divisions took up the same movement, followid by the whole line, and, attacking beautifully, carried the works of the enemy. The rebels threw down their arms and tied'in the greatest donfusion, abandoning most of their ar tillery. It was dark before the battle ended. I pursued on after the enemy during the night to this point with the 13th and 9th Corp's', and have stopped here to rest the men and issue rations. " It General Torbert has pushed down the Luray. Valley, according to my directions, he will achieve great results, I do not think that there aver was an army so badly routed. The valley soldiers are hiding away, and going to their homes. I cannot at present give you any estimate of pri soners. I pushed on regardless of everything. The number of pieces of artillery reported captured is sixteen. P. H. SMIRIDAN, Major General. You are directed to (muse a national salute of one hundred great guns for the victory. Gen. Stevenson reports that 3,000 prisoners from the field had reached Winchester last night.

To-day a private of the 93d New York was shot 'through the eyes, and instantly killed. A sergeant of the 57th Pennsylvania lost a log this morning. Yesterday a new recruit, who has been here only three days, belonging to the 29th Massachusetts, was killed in front of the 9th Corps, and his pocket was rifled of $450. It was said he was killed and robbed by a rebel sharpshooter, but many doubt the. truth of the statement. Recruits should not bring such large emote of money with them into the field. As a generatthing they are never easy until they have either srient.Or gambled it away, or had it stolen. One man was seen to offer ono hundred dollitra for a canteen of whisky the other day, but he failed to obtain it even at that price.

A sergeant of the 40th New York WWI shot through the head ; the ball , went through the red diamond on his hat. He died ainiost immediately. Frivolo 'Farnsworth was also killed by being shot in his eye 'While looking over the works at some shelling going•on near by. This &taloa of continued sharpshooting between the :picirett should be discountenanced by every commander on both side7s, as It causes the loss of many a brave man's life without the slightest ad vantage to either party. A deserter who . came in on Thursday evening says the rebel army are very much discouraged on tic- . count of Early's defeat In the valley, and he thinks that before long Lee will have .to evacuate Peters burg and Richmond. The people of Richmond and its vicinity are suf fering terribly for 'the necessaries of life, and parti • ()niftily for firewood, the'Oost of which places it .al mast 7 .beyond the reach of the mass of the cont.' munity.

Of course that is false, and it is idle to contradict it, so fat as rebels are con cerned, for they purposed it as a fals'ehood, to create a mischievous public opinion. The truth is, that, during the truce, 446 famillai were moved South, making 705 adults, 860 children, 979 servants, with 1,651 pounds .of furniture and household goods, on an average, forna,ch family, of which I have a perfect recollection. - At the end of the truce, Col.

They will be relieved by this assurance, that not only care, but real kindness, has been ea tended to families who lost their homes by the acts of their natural protectors. W. T. SkauntAn, Major General Commanding.. LETTER PEON SHERMAN-HIS APPEAL OP TICE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEN -OP ATLANTA. ANOTHER GIaND The following is General Sherman's answer to the letter of Mayor Calhoun and two Councilmen of Atlanta, published In The Press of Friday last: "HEADQUARTERS MIL. DP7. OH THE IYltssrserrrr., "lN THE FIELD, ATLANTA, Sept. 12, 1864." cc James M. Calhoun, .Mayor, E. E. Ramon and S. C. Wells, representing City Council of Atlanta: GENTLEMEN : 1 have your letter of the 11th, In tke nature of a petition to revoke my orders re moving all the inhabitants from Atlanta. I have read it carefully, and give full credit to your state. ments of the distress that will be occasioned by it, and yet shall not revoke my order, simply because my orders are not designed to meet the humanities of the case, but to prepare for the future struggle in which millions, yea, hundreds of mi ll ions, of good people outside 01 Atlanta have a deep interest. We must have _peace, not- only , in Atlanta, but in all America:— To secure this we must 'stop the war that now desolates ouronce happy•and favored country. To stop warwe must defeat„ the, rebel armies that are arrayed against the laws .and Constitution which all mexil_must respect'ltrid obey. To defeat - them in their piovided wh the arms and Instruments whlchlenable us to accomplish our par pose. • " Now I know the vindictive nature of our enemy, 'and that wo may have many years of military ope rations from this quarter, and therefore dee.m it wise and prudent to prepare in time. The use of Atlanta for warlike purposes is inconsistent with its charac ter 118 a home for families. There will be no manu factures, commerce or agriculture here for the maintenahce of families, and, sooner or later, want will compel the inhabitants to go. Why not go now, when all the arrangements are completed for "the transfer, instead of waiting until the plunging shot of contending armies will•renew the scenes of the past month ? Of course Ido not apprehend any. suoh thing at this moment, but you do not suppose this army will be here till the war is over? I can not discuss this subject with you fairly, because I cannot impart to you what I propose to do ;• but I assert that my military plans make it necessary for the inhabitants to go away, and I can only renew my offer of services to make their exodtu3 in any di rection as easy and comfortable as possible. You cannot qualify war-in harsher terms than I will . " War is cruelty, and - you cannot refine it; and those who brought war on our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour oat. knuw I had no hand in making this war, and I know that I will make more sacrifices than any of you today to secure peace. But you cannot have peace and a division of our country. 'lf the United States 'submits to a division now, It will not stop, but will go on till we reap the fate of Mexico, • which is eternal war. The United States does and Must assert its authority wherever it has power • if it relaxes one bit of pressure it is gone, and I know that such is not the national feeling. This feeling assumes various shapes, but always comes back to that of Union. Once admit the Union, once more acknowledge the authority of the National Govern ment, and instead of devoting your houses, road streets, and' roads to the dread uses of war; I and this army become at onee.yourprotectors and sup porters, shielding you frcim;danger, let it come from what quarter it may.V . .i . ;kstow that a -few indi viduals cannot resist a torrent of error and passion such as has swept the South into rebellion ; but you can point out, so that we may know those who de sire a Government, and those who insist on war and its desolation. "You might as well appeal against the thunder storm as against the terrible hardships of war. They are inevitable, and the only way the people of Atlanta can hope once more to live in peace and quiet at home is to stop this war, which. can alone be done by admitting that it began in error, and is _perpetuated in pride. We don't want your negroos, or your horses, or your houses, or your land, or any thing you have; but we do want and will have a just obedience to the laws of the United States. That we will have, and if it involves the destruction of your improvements, we.cannot help it. You have heretofore read public sentiment in your newspa, papers, that live by falsehood and excitement, and the quicker you seek for truth in other quarters the better for you. . "I repeat, then, that, by the original eompaot of government; the United States had certain rights in Georgia which have never been re linquished, and never will be; that the South began war by seizing forts, arsenals, mints, custom houses, etc., etc., long before Mr. Lincoln was in stalled, and before the South had one jot or tittle of provocation. I, myself, have • seen, in Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi, hundreds and thousands of women and children, fleeing from your armies and• desperadoes, hungry and: -with bleeding feet. In Memphis, Vicksburg, and Mis sissippi, we fed thousands upon thousands- of the families of rebel soldiers left on our fiends, and whom we could riot see starve. Now that war comes home to you,,you feel very different—you deprecate • its horrors, but did not feel them when you sent car loads of soldiers and ammunition, and moulded shells and 'shot, to carry war' into Kentucky' and Tennessee, and desolate the homes of hundreds and thousands of good people, who only asked to.live in peace awieir, ela...homesiand under tile Goverti-• merit of their Inheritance. But ttieie comparisons are idle. I want peace, and believe it only can be reached through.lJnion and war, and I will ever conduct war purely With a view to perfect and early success. 1 r "But, my dear sirs, when that peace does come, you may ca u ll 4 bn mo for anything. Then will I share with you last cracker and watch with you' to shield your lomes and families against danger from every quart r. Now, you must. go, and take with you the oiej and feeble; feed' and nursethem, and build for them in more quiet places proper habita- Uinta to shidd them against the weather, until the mad push)a of men cool down, and allow the Union and - ace once more to settle on your old homes at A to ut l / 2n . - W.

FATHER POINT, Sept. 24.—The steamship North American loft Liverpool at 7 °retookk on the evening of the 12th inst., taking the place of the Damascus, which was obliged to return to port with machinery disabled. The steamship Asia, from Borton. r arrived at Queenstown on the 11th. The steamship Peruvian, from Quebec, arrived at Londonderry on the morning of the 12th inst. The London and local journals were discussing the Asia's news, which seemed: to furnish the sole topic of interest on Liverpool 'Change, but seemed to have little effect, either good or bad on business. The Times says: Never since the war began has there been such a display of vigor and energyon both sides. Battle succeeds battle with frightful rapidity. The conflicts are long_ and bloody, the victories tri tlingand indecisive. The most importantpart of the news relates to the Chicago Convention. Lincoln and his policy have received a heavy check, that Conven tion having chosen McClellan, whom Lincoln, en deavored to keep down, the man most able toorepalir his errors, and correct the. ruin plainly now per vading over this great Republic. It will be ob served that the .Constitution speaks of the preserva tion of the Union as the principal object. But this declaration would have had more weight if the _Convention had stated what course it would' re commend in case the conciliation and compromise which itadvises should fail in effecting, as assuredly they will, the reconstruction of the Union. The Post says General McClellan has always been distinguished for extreme moderation. If installed unfettered by pledges, there is reason to believe he would assent to any arrangement which might bring to a termination a war which no one knows better than himself is equally wicked' nd profitless. The Star thinks the Federal successes at Atlanta and Mobile will powerfally stimulate the war feeling in the North, and, inasmuch as they bear veryharei ly upon the South, it is possible that the Southern leaders may be much inclined to listen to compro mise before their military strength. is entirely broken. In this view, they would be more inclined to treat with McClellan than Lincoln. But the Northern people will see lees cause for change when Lincoln's Administration brings success. • ' The Daily News says: In presence of the great movements in the field, the proceedings of the Chi cago Convention are of much less importance than otherwise might be. McClellan's platform is friend ly to the Union, with efforts for its peaceful re-sata blisbreent. In point of fidelity the Democrats cannot compare with the Republicans, while nothing could be, weaker than vague aspirations after peace, on no baste at all, or on a basis which the South has re peatedly declared It will never, under any circum stances, recognize.

Handsome Transparencies and Excellent Mottoes SEVERAL ATTACKS MADE ON THE PROCESSION. The Enemy Repulsed at Every Point. On Saturday evening the Union Campaign Club, being a reorganization of the People's Club and Re publican Invincibles of 1860, made their first Street parade. The joint club, as thus constituted, will make a number of parades between the present time and the Presidential election. It may be said that the two clubs of 1860 furnished many soldiers for the Union army, and the remaining veterans forming a, nucleus, a reorganization was ef fected within the past two weeks. Thit first battalion, of soldiers paraded on Saturday evening about two thousand four hundred, the re mainder of the procession being composed of civilians occupying prominent positions in the community.' The parade.was entifely_satisfactory to the gentle- • men who were interested in getting it up. As a.: club, it is atreadytwice as strong in point of numbers as in the campaign of 1860.. There was,,nothing in thelir c e,...not a motto or lantern, that any . sensible, -_ intelligent "ralinr — contn - - v oreroi7--verser---...,;ptt on to. Unfortunately, however, there is a class of ignorant, whisky-besotted individ uals in all large• communities who cannot appreciate - 're finement, gentility, or individual rights. They are always ready with rudenessand coarse remarks, to engage in a roW; thus denying to others certain rights. A portion of this dais of beings groaned the procession as It passed the 6, low concert salobmll on Walnut Street, now used as a meeting place eve ry evening by the opponents of the '.Union party. Others of the same class of people made several at• tacks upon parts of the procession, which finally came near terminating in the entire destruction of the Keystone Club Headquarters on Chestnut street. This place would have been demolished had it not been for the forbearance and gentility of the great mass of citizens that formed the procession: The fireworks used on the occasion of the parade were' extensive and beautiful. The piece in Independence Square was one of the Prettiest that ever illuminated that sacred enclosure. We may also state that . many houses on the route of the parade were bril liantly illuminated or decorated with flags. On Brown street, from Fifth to Sixth, an entire row of handsome mansions were blazing with patriotic light, and the windows were ftlied with ladies wav ing their handkerchiefs and evincing other signs of approval as the pageant moved over this part of the route. THE PROCESSION. The two clubs met at half past soven o'Cloek—the 'Union on Library street and in the Square the In vincibles at Sansom and Sixth streets. The line was finally formed, and as the clock struck eight the march commenced in the following order : Col. William B. Kann, chief marshal, flanked right and left by Henry Bumm, Esq., the City Trea surer, and Frederick X. Adams, Esq., the next Re gister of Wills; then followed alarge number of the staff of the chief, all mounted on as pretty horses as ever appeared to public view. • TALNSPARZNOY representing two pictures of President Lincoln— the first places Ihe President in the attitude of raising a large maul ; at his feet writhes a broken headed Copperhead, with the face of Jeff Davis.

On the sides of this banner aro the names of the battles that end ed in victory to the Union army. This transparency was carried by Peter Clare, a veteran soldier. A number of small lanterns were carried by the advance guard, with various mottoes, the most strik ing of which was the following: "Peace Makers--Grant, Sherman, Parragut. 73 • Band of FoiV Places. Here followed the Ist Division of the Union Cam paign -Club. . Next camathe 2d Division or Ist Battalion of Va. teran Soldiers, two thousand four hundred strong. They carried a number of large -transparencies, plenty of small ones, and nearly two thousand torches. From among the many mottoes we notice the following:: • ' "Free BallotS for Patriots." • "Free Fight for Traitors." "An Undivided Union." "No Party but our Country." "Sherman got up Early on Monday morning." "A Free Ballot for all Loyal Men." _ "Robert, I will not hurt ion too much; I will fight 7on-gentlemanly."—Antietant. ANSPAYLENCIES. . - A clever-sized banner was .borne aloft that at tracted more than ordinary attention. On the top of' it in large letters we learned that it was " TEM TEMPLE OP THE usroN.3l _ - In the foreground a number of workmen were busily engaged in erecting the temple, or at least making an addition to it of another column. A. crowd ofladies and gentlemen are looking on ap • provingly. To the left is a broken column labelled BBlcOlellllan ; the workmen are engaged in removing It. The ocaiunns are arranged In a straight line, each being named after a President, from the first to the last. That dedicated to Buchanan is repre sented as split; the one about to be placed in posi tion is named Lincoln. The work appears to be going on finely and !successfully, and the - group of admiring spectators are ready to give cheers at the proper time. The motto on this banner was this: B UNION—DEATH TO TRAITORS." Then followed other large lanterns, containing a choice selection of mottoes, as follows : " No compromise with.traitors in arms." . "Engineer of the railroad to Skit River, idol George." " A' platform Is the part's soul—a candidate is the party's body ; separate the body from the sold, and death ensues." - 2Be as firmly united for our Government as the re els are against it." "If you vote for PacCilellan yon vote for Pendle ton:" "Peace men controlled the Chicago Convention." The following motto is worthy of reflection, as. it is an answer to the aspersion of the ignorant that President Lincoln commenced the war : "Secession is not the event of a day ; it has been a matter nursed for thirty years."—Rhea, of South Cdrolina. Nowcomes a warning voice from that great pcace-mner, Lieut. Gen. Ulysses.S. Grant: - "Their only hope Isla a divided North."-17:4". Grant. Then, following, wo have an extract from an M ad-. dress of General cClellan io the Army of the Po-' tonsao. As a smaltpart of impartial history it is re freshing - " The campaign shall be short, sharp, and decisivti. —McClellan.') To which the following reply Is made-by some of his veteran troops : "We intend to make it so.-Ist Bat. Union Cast p**2. chub." • The next motto that came under our observation was an extract of a letter from the intrepid General Sherman, who says: " Our Government, though a democracy, should In time of trouble be able to wield the power of a grt at nation."— W. T. Sherman. "We ignore all political* elements to save the Unlon—we must be either for or against the rebel. "Pendleton, the peace-onany.terms candidate, never voted a man or a dollar to crush the rebellion or sustain the soldier's widow. That's what's the matter." • TRANSPARBNCY.

A conspicuous transparency cama in for a very great share of praiseworthy remark, and almost a universal response of approbation as it moved along the streets. This device consisted of six likenesses from photographs, of Grant. Sherman, Meade, Far. ragut, Sheridan, and Hancock. These likenesses were painted by an artist who seemed to have taken some care in finishing the work. The transparency represents these six great men of the nation as the Union. "Peace Commissioners, appointed by Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States." On Chestnut street particularly this banner was received. with universal approval.. . The ladies in the windows of private mansions, and at all the large hotels on that street, waved their handker chiefs, while an immense mass of men en - the side walks cheered themselves hoarse. The scene was exciting to every patriot. Motto—" We- are for a permanent peace, therefore we must vote for Abra ham Lincoln and a vigorous prosecution of the war." Here followed seven four horse omnibuses, filled with soldiers whose wounds were of such a nature that they could not walk. The brave fellows ware happy. They added to the Interest of the magnLft cent parade by singing in fall chorus :.. . " Rally round the nag: boys _ . "Johnny fill up the bowl—we'll all drink stone blind? &O. &e. . . . 5,i, • ,ItItPTMIOAF xfivntordwis. This reorganization brought up the rear of the pa rade. The members were uniformed In steel-color caps and capes, the same as in 1860. They marched well, in solid column, to the music of the campaign tune, "Rally Round the Flag, Boys." A large ban ner was carried in advance; ft had on it the follow ing : t v "We are Coming, Father Abrahaip. Invincible in 1860—Invincible in 1864:" . 4, Our Army and Navy . ; God blens . them." "Company C, California Regiment. We are all Republican InvMonica.' We honor the namee and deeds of our noble dead." The members generally carried torches, and their appearance was the theme of thousands of happy remarks. ATTAOSB ON Tici The extreme right of the liiie had just passed the Continental Theatre. in front of which a large crowd of disorderly persons were standing. On the opposite side of the way a confectionery and dwell ing were brilliantly Illuminated with Union lan terns. Ladies graced the windows with their pre sence, and waved silk flags. The cheering response from the procession to this manifestation of appro val, prevented ears polite and moral feelings being insulted by the profanity and obscene epithets free ly made use of by the gang of malcontents, who did everything to 'proYeke a riot except striking a sin gle blow. - The scene at this point ended with out any personal encounter. After the proces sion had passed, large crowds remained behind, and the strength of the two partterwas tested in the usu al manner, by cheering for their respective . favorites. It was evident that the Unionists were far in the majority. The rebel sympathizers subsided. In Be veral neighborhoods, where the lower order.of peo ple mostly live, there were groans given as the pa rade moved along. - These evidences of malignant feeling were passed by with contempt. At Twelfth and °berry streets a few drunken, fellows essayed to come in personal collision with the procession. Two or three of them were "doubled up" in a few moments, and "order reigned in Warsaw." At Tenth and Christian streets a savage, brutal attack was made by a set of men who, like eloseby's gotta tines, are quiet by day, but murderers and robbers by night. A fight ensued-here, but it was "short, sharp, and decisive." The guerillas were repulsed. About a dozen were wounded, and two were taken prisoners. 'Everything passed off quietly in other neighbor. hoods, until reaching the end of the route,which was Independence Hall.- The marshal and his aids, the band and advance guard, had passed to the hail on the front thereof. The main body of the Union Campaign Club was quietly passing along In front of the Keystone Club Headquarters. The building was wrapped in darkness. On the sidewalk a num ber 'of lawless people, consisting of pickpockets, gamblers, pimps, and young men of doubtful pa rent age were assembled. Presently the report of a pistol was heard ; the flash was semi-horizontal. This was fired from about the middle of the side walk in front of the Keystone quarters. In less time than it takes to write '"about, it, the soldiers rushed towards the headquarters. "under the im pression . that one of their, number had been shot. The -Cry raised at this important crisis was "let the Johnnies show themselves— bring the Johnnies down." The confusion that en sued beggars description. A horse rode by one of the assistant marshals fell on the smooth surface of the cubical blocks; this event added to the excite ment. It appearing, however that nobody was hurt, the procession soonformed l into line and passed `into the square, to witnessthe explosion of the last grand piece of five works. - The headquarters of the Keystone club escaped any injury. The likeness of Heenan was slightly disfigured, a pane or two of glass were broken In-front of the lager beer saloon ihe lower story. A short time before the parade awed at this point Officer Hoss, of the police force, was' struck on the head with a billy, from behind, while attempting to preiserve order in front of the Keystone club snow. It was certainly gratifying -Ala all ,good citizens to witness the great forbearance on 'the part of the Union campaigners ; they believing for a time that one 'of , their number had been shia, but when -they were satisfied or learned that thitrwac probably a mistake, order was at once restored. The Parade of the Opposition, on the Saturday eveninic ureviona; though having quite a number of sensational and, incendiary devices, and though many of the puvticipants made use of lan guage thatrefiected no eredit on their morals, or loyalty, or common sense, yetthat procession passed through our streets, and though -it met with only a few cheers, yet no person undignified himself so much as to even give it a single groan. The Unioa companies are organized for parade every now and then until the Presidential contest is over. In its ranks are some of the best men in our community; men who cherish a profound feeling of respect for the supremacy of the law, who simply desire the right to parade, a right which they cheerfully admit is inherent to the great mass of the commu nity, and which the opponents to the Union party may enjoy without molestation. The several attacks on the Union parade on Saturday night were. in every way, entirely unjustifiable. - • GREAT NATIONAL UNION DEMONSTRATION' AT THE BLUE BELL. On Saturday evening the romantic _ village of Pasehalville, was southern part of heTwenty fourth ward,the scene of great Union re- I picing, on the occasion of a Lincoln, Johnson, Union, and Liberty meeting. The campaign club of West Philadelphia proceeded in the cars to the Summit House Hospital, where they were met by an efficient brass band. The line was formed, and, with transparencies aloft and Rags flying in the genial breeze, the procession moved to the music of the campaign tune, "Rally 'round the flag, boys." There were a large number of people at the place of meeting. They had come from the distanoe of miles in the surrounding country. The mingling cheers between the people already thus assembled 4 and the approaching club, awakened many a pa. triotic echo from the vales and woodlands of that rural section. The scene was thrilling, and, en tirely satisfactory to all the participants. A num. her of soldiers were present, among whom the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The stand was graced by the presence of ladies. The band having performed a number of appropriate airs, the meet ing was called to order, A. M. Eastwiok, .Esq., being chosen as president. Charles E. Lox, Esq., late City Solicitor, delivered an excellent speech, outing which he was frequent. ly arplauded. Thos. DE. Coleman, Esq., was the second delivery, during address occupied about half an hour in delivery, during which he was frequently applauded. The Hon. W. D. Kelley followed Kr. Coleman, and the audience, the largest ever met in tha. place, was awakened to the highest degree of enthu- . sfasm. . E. Spencer Miller, Esq., also raised his voice In behalf of the Union , during which he elicited rounds of applause. The meeting "was a decided success. At a seasonable hour an adjournment took place, and the happy Unionists separated and started for their respective homes. UNION LEAGUE HALL TOs-NIGIIT. Thomas M.
