JOHNSON, OF TENNESSEE. 7 The Union candidate for the Vico Presidency made a remarkable speech at the monster meeting in Ijoganeporfc, Indiana, on tho 4th inst.. These ex tracts are suggestive of its general power and appli cation: ■ . • . ■ Where do we stand to-day, and where did the * Democratic party stand a low years ago 1 X stand now precisely where if did; and if there is a Demo : crat here to-day, X have a few words to say to him, ' [Several voices, “ Hore we are.”] I am glad we are hereto-day. Here stands the Senator of a great sister State, with whom we differed in years gone by; but when the question comes up, “Shall the nation live or die 1” we find that we are standing - upon the same platform, struggling for the life of the nation.' -Thant God, there are some men who can lift themselves above party prejudices and party, associations; Thank God, there is some patriotism still left In the country—[cheers]—that when the . nation is endangered they can come up and stand' 'by the stars and stripes. „ 7. " THE BOORISH TAILOR.” I.holdihmy hands, from which I wish- to read, an extract or two, for the benefit of some old Democrats, and young -ones, too, a let ter written:, by General Jaokson7himsolf, in'his own handwriting; and, in handling this rello, uiy mind goeshack to the times of 1832. When it was written and published I , was a young man, or boy, at work in my shop, and heard it road. And this ’memory of being in my shop calls to mind what was said when Mr, Lincoln was first nomi nated. He was called -the rail-splitter, and I saw to-day you were making good use of the idea; while the Butternut party was being split to pieces, >' you said tho TJnibn never could be split. When the recent nominations were made at Baltimore, - the;tox-y papers of the country said. They have’ a rail-splitter and a buffoon for the head of the.ticket, and “upon the tail they have a boorish tailor.” The idea, at the' bottom of all this opposition is, that the man who rises rip from the mass of the people, the man who advocates the doctrine that man is capa ble of self-government, has virtue and intelligence to govern himsolf, should be repudiated. I have nothing to regret that my early.life was spent in the shop. X never boaßt of it ini my canvasses, but when it . is brought up as a reproach I have mat it in the way it should be met, and he wholfights with, such weapons is not entitled to the respect of anybody. Yes, the “ boorish tailor V is put upon the tail of the ticket. What an insult to the aristocracy, who want reputation without merit and. without'worth! Yes, lam a tailor, hut x learned long since, that if a man does not disgrace his profession it never dis graces him. [Cheers ] 7 Ana I may be permitted to say that, when I wee a tailor, I made some pretty dose fits. [Laughter.] My garments used to be right well proportioned; but I have seen tailors, at their own expense, too,, make a.man out of very scant material. , I usedto be considered a very good tailor, and got my work done according to promise. [Laughter and cheers.] So much for the “ boorish tailor.” One of tho fundamental principles of my Democracy is, and it is republicanism,, too, that men * should be rewarded according to merit. It 1b worth that makes the man, and the want of It: the fellow, 7. JACKSON- OK THE CAUSE OR THE REBELLION. ■And now in. reference to the letter of General Jackson. Xam free to confess that it was not with mere admiration that I regarded him; it was al most veneration. I looked upon him as one of the purest of patriots; and when -I* handle this letter, written thirty years ago, and associate it with him who lies slumbering in the tomb, I feel that I am touching a sacred thing. It is a letter to Rev. A. J. Crawford, of Georgia,' dated May, 18S3. What should prevent you and X, and every other man, who loves his country; from coming forward and shaking handß over'the letter, and repeating the same noble sentiment, that “the Union must be preserved!” The old hero and patriot thus speaks: “I have had a laborious task here; butnuiUfica-. tion- is dead, and Its actors and courtiers will' only be remembered by the people, to be execrated-for their wicked designs to sever and destroy the only good Government on the globe, and that prosperity * and happiness we enjoy over every other portion of the world. Haman’s gallows ought to be tho fate of all such ambitious men who would involve the coun try in civil war, and all the evils in its train, that they might reign ahdride on its whirlwinds, and di rect the storm. The free people of the United States have spoken -and consigned these- demagogues to their proper doom. Take care of your nulllfiers you have'amongst you. Let them meet the Indignant frowns of every; man who loves his country. Tho tariff, it is now known, - was a mere pretext; its burdens were on your coarse woolens; by the law of - July; 1832, coarse woolens were reduced to five per cent, for the benefit of the South. Mr. Clay’s bill takesdt up, and closes it with woolens at 50 percent., reduces it gradually down to 22 per cent., and there it is to remain ; and Mr. Calhoun and all the nulll fiers agree to the principle. The cash duty and home valuation will be equal'to fifteen per cent. ! more; after the year 1842, you pay on coarse woolens 36 per cent. If thls is npt protection, I cannot un derstand.; Therefore, the-tariff was only the pretext, - and disunion and a Southern Confederacy the real oh-' ject. The next pretext will be the negro or the slavery question .’’ > 7 .: 7 - SLAVERY NOT WORTH BAYINO. I am free to say for myself, that though I was born and have resided all my life in a slave State, yet I ' have been'disposed to tolerate rather than advocate andsustaln it. But “the time has come,” and the question has to ha settled, whether the Government ca n stand havingan institution In it which can raise itself above the Government and defy it 1 This la a great proposition, lying alongside the doctrine of free government, that no nation can exist long while an institution exists within it that rises above tho power of the nation itself. Slavery, under its arrogant supporters, has for years substantially con trolled the legislation of this country. The institu tion has undertaken to control the Government, and now what Is the Government to do ! Will it yield to slavery and acknowledge this institution para mount! Are the thirty millions of free white people to be controlled by four millions of blacks, and their three hundred and forty thousand owners! : [Many voices, “No;” “no.”] Then the questloncomes up, which shall go down, the institution of slavery or this Government ? [Voices, “Slavery.”] EMANCIPATION-OR . WHITE MEN. - ■While on this subject of emancipation, a word that is often on thelips of our opposers, let me say to you that in the emancipation of slaves In the South you emancipate more white men than you do.black ones. [Cheers.] And while I advocate the policy as a principle, 1 am now for making a fair and full experiment; that is, let all be free, and let them have a fair start and equal .chance m the race of life. While I am for this,'and while I believe the time will come when they can enjoy free govern ment, still lam for “a white man’s government.” But if we are white men, and men of principle and humanity,'■fought'we not be disposed to give the black man a chance 1 [Voices, “ Yes; yes,”] Take the narrowest view of the matter you can, without reference to colonization beyond the United States; if they are to remain there, their labor can he made more productive to the State and nation by their lreedomthan under slavery. Thenegrohasbeen hitched on to the white man, who has kept him in a kind of -negative position; his labor has been com - paratively unproductive; he has been without in centive, and has worked only as he has been driven to it. ; ' ' ■ KBOSO KQUAiITy. I know it Is said by the Copperheads, and others perhaps, yon want negro equality ; but you can’t expect the negro to be fit to enjoy.freedom'aftar having been kept, in: slavery,for a hundred years. Slavery disqualifies him for freedom, they say; and : then they insist on keeping him in slavery, to dis qualify him a lew years longer by way of qualify ing Wmfor.being a freeman. [Laughter and cheera.] It is all wrong, and now is the time for cutting up the whole thing, root and branch, and ■ letting the black people take their chances with all other human beings, [Cheerß.] ’ -* COMEEOMISE WITH THE DEVIL. But we were talking about peace. Don’t everybody know that there can be no peace as long as rebels are encouraged'here, and can hold out there ! You talk about compromise. Would you have right to compromise with wrong 1 ! f Voices, “ No, never.”] Would you havo truth to compromise with false hood! Virtue to compromise with vice ! ‘ Would you have Deity in heaven, when Beelzebub, his Sa tanic Majesty, made war with Michael when he re belled against heaven, would you have had Deity hold a parley and ask an armistice 1 [Great and continued cheers.] All yo angels and heavenly hosts, stand aside! Fall back from' the: throne of power; we will seek an armistice with his Satanic Majesty. Oh! infamy too base to- be thought of. [Cheers, j SPEECH OP MAJ. GEN.-JOHN A. HOGAN. At his homo in Carbondalo, Illinois, last week, this brave Western corps commander made a speech oft the Presidential question. It will be remembered that General Bogan was the especial friend, con fidential adviser, .and “right-hand: man” of 'the great Senator Douglas. This fact gives force to his views of the present Democracy: ’ ITHB BEBEL CANDIDATE 808 VICE PRESIDENT. There Is such a thing,.you know, as a President dying; If the Union end of this ticket; should' die, the treason end would take its place. If they should elect MeOlellah, and his election should surprise him so much as to kill him—which Is not unlikely then Pendleton would take his place'and run the concern accofding to his own Ideas. They ask me to vote, for George B. McClellan on such a platform as this'. I say I won’t do It. [ Ap plause.] They ask me to vote for George H; Pen dleton, and I say I should not vote for him on that or any other platform, for Vice President, or any other office, If the devil were a candidate against him. Why do I say so! I served with Mm in Con gress, and I have been forced and compelled to de nounce him as a traitor, and I have a good right to do so to-day. I have heard from his lips In the halls of Congress, before he was ever thought of as a candidate, words of treason and disloyalty. He has denouncedthe war from the time it commenced. He has neverXyoted a solitary dollar, nor" a single cent in factor of- prosecuting the war, no mat ter how the money, was to be expended, whether for food for the soldiers or for anythiDg : else. Not one dollar has been voted that could be spent In any way against the rebellion and In favor of the Go vernment. I defyTiis friends to-day to point me to one line or one syllable ever written or uttered by him in favor of restoring the Government by put ting down the rebellion ; not a word. But if you will read his speeches you will find that he has preached secession ;.you will find that he has advo cated State Elghtßj.and that he believed thepeople of the South had'aKrlghtto secede, and the Govern ment had no right to coerce them back into the Union. This is the doctrine he has advocated, and upon that record people ask me to vote for him. Again, I defy any man to show me his letter accept ing his nomination on the Chicago platform. Where is it! Why Is It that no man can find It! ' He has never aooepted that nomination except by simple acquiescence, and by his being put on the’ ticket. Why Is this, T say:! . Because the Chioago Convention knew when they adopted that platform that McClellan would write a soft letter—sort of for war, saying that he know the Convention was for war, but they forgot to say so. [Daughter.] They have prevented G eorge H. Pendleton from writing a letter; and I venture to say that ho never will write one; Because,' if they wanted a letter from him—unless they wrote it themselves—he has been so much in the habit of speaking treason that he could not write anything else. It would damn him before the people, and they know. it. HIS OPINION OP K’CLBLLAN. Now, as to General McClellan, I have nought against him personally. As a soldier Irespoothim; as a gentleman I respect Mm; but upon that plat form, as a'politician, I have no respect for him. ' rAmilauso 1 If General McClellan had been a ei ■ vWan whin nomtoated-lf he hatbbeen taken from the walks of private life—l could have excused him.’ I could have said that: 'h* wa,ssimply mistaken, de cdlved,'perhaps j but having been a soldier, having fought under the flag of the American Union, ha ving heard the soul-stirring sounds of battle In the s' Union cause; there Is no excuse for him—e one what ever on tho top of God’s earth—except that he is so craving- and .anxlous for a little power that he is ■ willing to accept If eyea from traitors. FOUR CENTS. LETTERFItOM EDWARD EVERETT— WEST VtROINTA. The "Wheeling the following lotter from Edward Everett: “ Boston, September 28, isqi, "A. W. Campbell, Wheeling , W.

You may depend upon it that when the names of the States are inscribed on our ban ners and arehes, that of West Virginia will not be omitted. We are shocked at the manner in - which you were treatedby the dictators at Richmond at the outbreak of the rebellion. The last utterance of Mr. Jefferson Davis which has come before the pub-, lie is, that‘the-Confederates seceded to get rfd of the rule of-themaiorlty.’ In the mostflagrant contra-' : diction to this profession, before the ordinance of se cession had been submitted to the people of Virgi nia, regiments of troops were brought uo from the Gulf States to overawe your citizens atthe polls: and in a published letter of Mr. Senator Mason to the' editor of the Winchester }' irginian, of May 16th, "1861. after a significant allusion to the presence; ‘ at Harper’s Ferry and Norfolk in face of tho com mon foe,’ (meaniDg the forces of the United States assembled under the star-spangled banner) ‘of se veral thousand of the gallant sons of South Caro lina, of Alabama, of Louisiana, of Georgia and Mis sissippi,l he writes as follows : l lf .it be asked what are those to do, who, In their consciences, cannot vote to separateVlrginia from the United States, the answer is simple and plain: honor and duty alike require that they should not vote on the question: if they retain such opinions they must leave the State!’ What followed after this atro cious sentence of banishment against one-third of the population of Virginia, you do not need to be Informed. That you instantly l seceded;’ when the treason was consummated at Richmond, though not exactly in the direction prescribed by the military despotism there,-did not surprise us.. In' one of his last political speeches Mr. Webster ex claimed: - “' Ye men of Western Virginia, who occupy the slope from- the top "of the Alleghenies to the Ohio and Kentucky) what benefit do, you propose to': yourselves by disunion! If you seeede, what do you secede from aid what do you 'secede to ? Do you look.for the current of the Ohio to change and; to bring you and your commerce to the tidewater of the Eastern rivers? "What man In;hisSenses can suppose that you would remain part and .parcel oi "Virginia a month after Virginia should have oeased to be part and parcel of the United States?’ “ There is no part of onr beloved country that oc cupies a more ‘ interesting position thin Western Virginia, and Its loyal inhabitants may be sure that they have tho warmest sympathy of their brethren at the North. - “I remain, doarsir, with great respect, very truly yours, Edward Everett.” FAILURE OP THE - PEACE CAMPAIGN—A LETTER PEOM EON, ALEXANDER LOKG. The Ohio State Journal furnishes the following au thentic letter of Hon. Alexander Dong, the notori rious Copperhead inember of Congress from the Se cond Ohio district. This letter affords a mournful disclosure of the intrigues, griefs, and keen disap pointments of the Democratic leaders. The con cluding paragraph will not bo disputed: -■ ~,, CINCINNATI, Sept. 29, 1864. My Dear Sir : Your favor of the 22d was duly: received,'and should have had an earlier answer. Want of lime is my excuse, however, for not doing so. I did not go to New-York. Amos Green, of Illinois, who was one of tho conferees, and present at . all the meetings at the St. Nicholas Hotel, was here and gave me a full detail of all they did. " They had passed a resolution to hold aconven tion in this city daring the present week, for the purpose of making an independent nomination, but on the receipt of my despatch of Tuesday night, which was not received by General Singleton until Wed - nesday, they then rescinded 'the resolution, concluding ■ that if : Ohio would do nothing they would do likewise, ■ And, upon the rescinding of the resolution, the Metro politan Record.and Freeman's Journal caved in, but lien.

JWilliam Curtis, the distinguished author, nominated for Congress in one of the New York dis tricts, made the following happy opening to one of his recent speeches: '■ There is one major general in the service of the United States who does not believe In an immediate cessation of hostilities. There is one general who did not give the rebels a day to escape up the She nandoah Valley—a general who Is never late—one of the early birds that catches all the worms. [Ap plause.] There Is another major general In the service of the United States whose words of heroic loyalty rang like a bugle eall 'through the ranks of rebellion and secession: “If any,man hauls down. , the American fiagshoothim bn the spot !” [Cheers.] My friends," there is another major general in the service of the United States,- and he says: “If any man hauls down the American flag,:let us all go at once Into convention;'and exhaust all the resources of statesmanship known to the civilized world’ in order to contrive some means "by which we can coax him to haul it up again.”.. , h...--';;' 1 --,-.-, The McClelianiteß of Missouri have proved their identity with the rebels now advancing under Price and others by nominating a State ticket, the principal candidates upon which sustained all the most treasonable measures of the Secession legisla ture that -met at the outbreak of the rebellion. Among their acts of treason, they voted to put all the railroads into the hands of that arch rebel, Claiborne Jackson, who burned the Osage bridge to prevent Captan Lyon from seizing their seces ■ sion plotters at. .Tefforson City. TheJJlissouri Se cessionists were foiled In their purpose of taking the State out of the Union, owing to the vigilance and energy of the United States authorities. But it is a little singular one of the foremost men en gaged In this disloyal scheme should be nominated for Governor, just when the traitors have again in. vaded the State in large force. . The evidence adduced in the Dodd trial at In dianapolis shows that two-thirds of Yallandigham’s order were armed; that the number enrolled in the lodges of Illinois was 40,000, in Missouri 40,000, in St. Louis alone 20,000; (it was already in testimony that Indiana, haa from 40,000 to 60,000 enrolled;) that Ohio was to be invaded at three points by John Morgan or Wheeler -. that Indiana. was to be In vaded by Long-street, and Missouri by Price and Marmaduke: that the invading rebels, with Yal landigham’s Sons' of: Liberty, Were, 1 In all these States, “to shake hands and; be friends that the Invasion of Missouri was posted in the order for Oetohsr, and that it was understood in the lodges that Price’s (now progressing) would stay in Mis souri at least until after the election. Yallandig-: ham’6?chief staff officer seems to have been one Captain Hines, formerly of John Morgan’s staff, to whom was committed-the duty of releasing the prisoners on Johnson’s Island. The Chicago Tribune has a word of good advice to our Irish fellow-citizens. Whatever an Irish man has which ho would not have had If he had re mained in Ireland, or if ho had migrated to the Southern States, and worked among the poor white trash in competition with slaves—in whatever de gree his home is more comfortable, his children better educated, or his future prospect brightened, he is indebted for it all to those ideas and institu. tions of Northern freedom of which Abraham Lin. coin is the political representative. Let every Irish man,'therefore, read the letter of Daniel O’Connell on the duty of Irishmen to support emancipation In America; let him reflect on the interest old Ireland has in the preservation of the Union, and let him vote for Lincoln and- liberty, and repudiate that faction .of undemocratic traitors which' is sup ported by every aristocrat and enemy of Ireland: in Great Britain. - S j —Senator John Sherman, of Ohio, made one of' his magnetic speeches- in; Sandusky last week, to a ; vast audience that Inclined to every word of his oratory. In the midst of his powerful argumenta tion ho threw offra personal sketch of Abraham Lin coln, which will be recognized everywhere as life like : . ' . \ “I know-old Abe, and I ten you there is not at this hour a more patriotic or truer man living than that man Abraham Lincoln. Some say he Is an imbecile, but ha not only held his own in-his debates with Douglas, whose power is admitted, and whom. I considered the abiost intellect in theUr.it ad States Senate, hut got a little the better of him. He has been deliberate and slow, hut when he puts his foot; down It Is with the' determination and certainty with which our generals take their steps, and like them, when he takes a city, he never gives it up. This firm old man is noble and kind-heart ed; ho Is a; child of the people. Go to him with a story of ,woo, and. he; will weep like achild. This man, so; condemned,; works more hours than any other President that-ever occupied the chair. His solicitude for the public welfare is never-ceasing. I differed from him; at first mys el f, but at last felt and believed that he was right, and snail vote for this brave; true, patriotic, kind-hearted man. All his faults and mistakes you have seen. AII his vlr i tues you never oan know. His ;patience In labor Is wonderful. He works far harder than any man In Erie county. At the head of this great nation, look ;at It; he has all the bills to sign passed by Congress. Ho one can be appointed to any office without his approval; no one can be punished without the judg ment receives his signature, and no one pardoned •without his hand. Tills man, always right, always just, we propose now to re-elect to the Presidency. To swap off such a man as this, my country men; for MWCiellan, idle, incompetent, and unwilling, would, in aiy opinion, ho a devilish poor trade.” ' -4- Elect “Little Mac,” and ,what thcnl .

THE CONFEDERACY IN ADVERSITY—TWO-THIRDS OF THE REBEL ARMY AT HOME—MOST OF THEM ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE—RICHMOND'S SAFETY DEPENDENT ENTIRELY ON EARLY—APPEAL FOR REINFORCEMENTS." The following speech, made by Jef ferson Davis at Macon, Qa., Sept. 23, .1864, is er tractedTrom the columns of the Daily Macon Tele‘s graph and Confederate of Sept. 24: A ™ Gentlemen, Friends and Fellow- Ifc would have gladdened my heart to , SX 0 ,-, n prospeiity instead of adversity. But toends are drawn together in adversity. The 1 a, T^°JS s l' l wil ? f °nght through tho first revo to “Tself if I should for get tHe t State In her day of neril Whaf thmiiyh misfortunohas befallen our arms from Decato to -Jonesboro, our cause is not lost. Sherman cannot keep up his longline of communication and retreat. Sooner or later he must; and when thatday comes, the fate that befel the army of the French Empire in Its retreat from .'Moscow will bs reacted. Our cavalry and our people will harass and destroy his army as did 4he- Cossacks that of Napoleon: and the Yankaa .General" like him, will escape with only a body guard. How be the most speedily effected? By the absenters of Hood’s army returning to their posts j and will'they not? Can they see the-banished exiles; can they hear the wail of their suffering -countrywomen and children and. not eome ? By. what influences they are made to stay away it is not necessary to speak. If there is one who will: stay away .at this hour, he is un worthy o f the name of Georgian. To the women no appeal is necessary. They are like the. Spartan - mothers of old. I know of one who has lost all her sons, except one, of eight years. She wrote that she wanted me to reserve a place for him in the ranks. The venerable General Polk, to whom I read the letter, knew that woman well, and said, it was characteristic of her; hut I will not weary you by-turning aside.to relate the various inci dents of giving up tho last son to the cause of our country, known to me. Wherever we go wc find the hearts and hands of our noble women enlisted. They are seen wherever, the eye may fall or the step turn. They have-one duty to perform—to buoy up the hearts of bur people. I know the deep dis grace felt by Georgia at our army falling back from Dalton to the interior of the State. But I was not of those , who considered Atlanta lost when onr army crossed the Chattahooehle. I- resolved that it should not, and I then put a man in com mand who I knew would strike a manlyblowfor the city, and many a Yankee’s blood was made to nou rish the soil before the prize was won. It does not become us to revert to disaster. Let the dead bury the dead. .: Let us, with one army, and one effort, endeavor to crush-Sherman. lam going to the ar my to confer with our generals. Tho end must be the defeat of our enemy. It baa bean; said that I abandoned Georgia to her face. Shame upon suck, falsehood. Where could the author have been wheat Walker, when Polk, and when Gen. Stephen D. Lee was sent to .her assistance. Miserable man. The man who uttered this was a scoundrel. Ha was not a man to save our country. If I knew that a general, did not possess the right qualities to com mand, wouldl not bewrongif hewere not removed? Why, when our army-was falling hack from North ern Georgia, I even heard that I had sent Bragg with pontoons to cross it to Cuba. .But we must be charitable: The man who can speculate ought to be made to take np his,musket. When the : war is over and our independence won—and we wilt establish onr independence who will "be our aristocracy ? I hope the limping soldier. To'the young ladies I would say that, when choosing be tween an empty." sleeve and the man who had re mained at homo and grown rich, always take the empty sleave. Let the old men remain a-t boms and make bread, Bat should they know of~&nr young man keeping away -from the service, who cannot be made to go any other way, let them write to/the -Executive. I read all letters sent me from the people, hut have not the time to reply to them. You have not many men between eighteen" and forty-five left.-' The hoys—God bless the boys—are. asxapidjy asthey become old enough, going- to the field. The city of Macon is filled with stores, sick and wounded. ; It must not be abandoned when threatened, but when the enemy come, instead of calling upon Hood’s arrnyj* defence, the old men mnst fight, and when the Ynomy is driven beyond Chattanooga, they, too, can join in.the general re joicing. Your prisoners are kept as a sort of Yan kee capital. I have heard that one of their generals said that their exchange would de feat Sherman. I have tried every means, con ceded everything, to effect an exchange, but to no purpose. Batter, 'the beast, with whom no commissioner of exchange wonld held inter course, had published in the newspapers that If -we would consent to the exchange of negroes, ail difficulties might be removed. This is reported as an effort of his to get himself whitewashed by hold ing intercourse with gentlemen. If an exchange could be effected, I don’t know but that I might Se induced to recognize Butler. But in thefuture eve ry effort will be given, as far as possible, to effect • the end. We want our soldiers in the field,-and- we want the sick and wounded to return home; It is not proper for me to speak of the number of men in the field; but this I will say, that two-thirds of our men are absent, some sick, some wounded, but most of them absent’ without leave. The man who repents and goes back to .bis commander vo luntarily, appeals strongly to Executive clemen cy. But suppose he stays away until: the war is over, ana his ’ comrades return -home: and ? when every man’s history will he told, where will ’ he shield himself? It is upon these reflections that- I rely to make men return to their duty, hut after conferring with onr generals at headquarters, if there be any othqr remedy it shall be applied. I love my friends, and I forgive my enemies: I have been asked to send reinforcements from ■Virginia to Georgia.. In Virginia the disparity in numbers is just, as great as it Is in-Georgia. Then I have -been asked why the army sent to the Shenandoah Valley was not sent here. It was be cause an army of-the enemy had penetrated that valley to the very gates of Lynchburg, and General Early was sent to drive them back. This* he not only successfully did, but, crossing- the Poto mac, came well nigh capturing Washington itself, -and forced Grant to send two corps "of his army to protect it. This the enemy denominated- ft raid. If so, Sherman’s march into Georgia is a raid. "What would prevent them now, if Early was 'Withdrawn, from taking Lynchburg and putting a complete cordon of men around Richmond ? I coun selled with that great and grave soldier, Gen. Lee, upon all these points. My mind roamed over-the wnole field. "With this we can succeed. If one-half the men now absent without leave will return to duty we can defeat the enemy. With that hope I am going to the front, I.may not realize this hope, but I know there are men there who have looked death In the face too often to despond now. Let no one despond. Let no one distrust, and remember that, if genius Is the beau ideal, hope is the reality. The Charleston Memory gives vent to the follow ing expression of mingled , incredulity and disgust in regard to the piteous howling of the «Chief Magistrate:”- . We make no comments upon this speech, but wa cannot refrain from expressing our profound regret that such a speech should have’ been said to have” been delivered by the Chief Magistrate of the Con federate States, for we cannot make up our minds that he delivered it. We hope speedily to be able ta deny its authenticity.

Cincinnati being the most convenient and central pointfor the despatch of business, the department headquarters will he removed to that city' on the 6th instant. To promote uniformity in or ganizing, the department is subdivided into four districts, each State forming one district. The' .headquarters of the district in Michigan will be at Detroit, and that of Ohio at Columbus. Officers of suitable rank will be assigned to these commands as soon as practicable. Until such assignments are made, the official duties ofthe district will be trans acted as heretofore.' The districts of Indiana and. Illinois will remain under their present command ers. The Commanding General requires' energy, earnestness, and fidelity in the performance of duty on the part of every officer and soldier in the de partment. The trust and responsibility reposed in each and all will be carefully and fully extended. No one will consider theday as ended until the du ties it brings have been discharged. Commanders of districts will uniformly hold their troops in readiness for service as regards - Instruc tions, ammunition, "and clothing, either ia or out of the department, at an hour’s notice. The utmost diligence and vigor are enjoined oh; the part of officers upon whom the drafting now in pro gress has devolved, and also upon the officers en gaged in forwarding the men to the field. The im mediate reinforcement of our armies Is a necessity to the full realization of. the hopes and expectations of the nation. Officers entrusted with the, safe keeping of the prisoners in the department will ex ercise unceasing vigilance in the performance of their duties.

Satisfied that there was an organized gangof'despe radoes St work, the directors of the Ohio and Mis sissippi Railroad entrusted tho task of ferreting out the villains to the well known Jesse Worley, of this city, who executed, his mission with much success, as the* sequel will show. On Friday last, assist ed by Officer W. S. Henkle, of Sullivan, Sulli van county, Indiana, he arrested, In the vici nity of- the last named place, sixteen of the band who attacked, the: train. One of them was .killed in attempting to escape the hands of the law, while the others were safely lodged In jali. iThey are all residents of the neighborhood of Sullivan, with the exception of their leader, one Captain. Yandyke, formerly connected with John Morgan. Ho is also in custody. Large amounts of-stolen goods have been found in their possession, and of their guilt there is no .doubt, as . each ds desirous of turning State’s evidence against' his accomnllees. The capture of these freebooters led to* even more important arrests. While ;in Sullivan on Saturday, Mr. Worley observed,three suspicious characters, whom he at once had arrestad and searched. From.papers found on their persons it appeared that they were officers in the rebel af my —a Captain Clay Wilson, of Tennessee, and two lieutenants, named Murray and Damon. - The pa pers also showed that they were connected with the late piratical demonstration on lake Erie, and that they were plotting the destruction of Government arsenals bud other public buildings. Among their effects were recipes for making Greek fire, and a. quantity of the chemicals which euter into its com position. They were lodged in jail, and the authori ties at Indianapolis notified of the facts. — Cincinnati Gazette, Oct. i. * - * Reward op a Corporat. won-CAPTOrn^ fjA BATltt-Fx,Aa.-A correspondent of_theHew_York Timex ravr * a ■ •nieasine: incident m % rloay’s D&ttio camo to m 4 notice t«-day.
