"My Dear Sir ; —Your very kind’ Invita tion to attend and address-a Union meeting in your city on the 16th would induce me to ac-. cept were it possibly consistent, bnt prior en gagements willnot. permit, The Union forces seem to lie quietly -massing for the contest, and just now I am more amused over the exhibi tions of our opponents, than I am concerned for Union success. They held a peace conven tion for, the peaceful, and signalized it by a pitched battle on the floor, for the gratification of the war element; they made a platform-for the pacific, and placed npon it plumes, pistols, and swords, and spears, epaulets and emblems of bloodshed for the belligerents, and yet the canee of peace, like that of its twin sister, true love, does not run smooth. The platform does not fit the candidate and he cannot wear it without alterations. The alterations do not salt the party and cannot be adopted, and just now; the party, the platform, and the candi date, are somewhat like .the hatchet, the staff, and the kid, in the nursery rhyme, and the dis appointed followers are crying, “ pray hatchet back staff, staff won’t beat kid, kid won’t go.” Thera seems to he hut one remedy. The peace convention, by self creation, is, like original sin, perpetual. Let it speedily reassemble its party of peacemakers and select a cough suita ble to its cold. “ Sincerely yoors, D. S. Dickinson.” Fqb and Against.— “ The Union must be preserved at all hazards,” says General MoClel an.' If these Southern States cannot be recon ciled, says Mr. Pendleton, candidate on the same ticket, “ I i could signalize their depar ture. by tokens of love; I would hid them fare well so tenderly that they would forever he touched by the recollection of it.” The Cleveland Herald neatly says that “ see ing tha velocity with which the Chicago.

NO. 9. nttuvu from tfjr 9rm£» From the 11th Pennsylvania Cavalry. In the Field near Jones’s Landing, ) Va., September 30, 1864. ) Friend Cobb :—Tour correspondent rejoined hia regiment for duty at Mt. Sinai Church, 17 August. We reported ta Gen.‘Warren, on the Weldon railroad on the 19tfa, making the march in the night. Our position was on Warren's left, four miles above Beam’s station. At four P. M., the rebels assaulted the sth corps with some spirit, hut were repulsed with considera ble lose. .The morning of the 21st they again attempted to turn Warren’s left, bnt failed, be ing‘evidently ignorant of onr position. Oar brigade (Col. Spear) dismounted, and poured a galling fire into their ranks, and sent them back to their entrenchments in confusion, lea ving their dead and wounded behind them, to gether with a large number of prisoners. - Next day the Ist and 2d divisions of the 2d corps arrived by forced march from the ex treme right at Deep Bottom, and went at tear ing up the railroad. The 2d corps take great prides in the title of “ Hancock’s Flying In fantry.” Col. Spear took his brigade orf'a're connoisance on the rebel right, driving the en emy before- us two miles, with little loss to ei ther party. Next morning, Capt. B. B. Mitchell, with E, F, and I companies, was detached and put at the disposal of Gen. Miles of the 2d corps, a gifted young *' star.” Capt. Mitchell moved directly on Ream’s- station, Co. F in the ad vance, driving the enemy before him, and hold ing the position until Gen. Miles came up with the infantry about noon, when Col. Spear uni ted bis command with that of Gen. Gregg, who also moved his cavalry to the Station, and the whole body took position to protect the work ing party. ‘ j. Skirmishing commenced about S' o’clock, af ternoon, and the cavalry became wfcmly en gaged until dark, when the rebels withdraw. About eigbt miles of the railroad trade was destroyed. The rebel cavalry hang/ta our Sank all day, but invariably refused battle. It ia said that the reba were taking np the rails in our advance, to save the iron. ' On the mjor ning of the 26th, Wade Hampton, with two divisions of dismounted; and all his mounted cavalry, attacked Col. Spear’s' brigade of less than 1000 men. The three companies under Capt. Mitchell, being fully three, miles in ad vance of supports, fell back to a position fav orable for practical saber exercise if the enemy should crowd os. But Hampton, ever cautious where there ia danger of meeting on eqnal terms, halted bis command and began to en trench. Skirmishing commenced along the en tire line. The rebel infantry tried to force onr center, but were repeatedly repulsed with lose. Sharpshooters bad a fair chance to operate all day, and paid particular attention to artillery horees %nd gunners. The 4th N. Y. Heavy Artillery were-deployed in skirmish line on the left flank, the cavalry moved to the rear, and every man carrying a carbine was diamonnted and set to throwing np a skeleton breastwork. . The enemy, seeing what we were at, got a battery in position to enfilade ns, and threw a perfect shower of shell and shrapnel among us; bat no one thought for a moment of leaving his poet. Ending he could not force our position by any regular attack in line of battle,, the rebel - Gen. Hill massed bia entire force, consisting of his own corps and detachments from others, and prepared to assault. At about SP. M., he hurled his dense columns npon onr right. As they came, yelling, on the doable-quick, every musket and available piece of artillery was brought to bear npon them, and all the engine* ry of war answered in tones of thnnder the , yells of the drunken savages. Ghastly chasms ware tent in their ranks by the merciless fire concentrated'npon~lbem, but they were closed iup as the waves of the sea roll together. The scene was awful beyond description. Every nerve was strained to keep back the foe, bat in vain. "We had to give way or go to Libby. 1 All onr artillery horses had been shot, and so many of the gunners had fallen that details from the heavy artillery were necessary to work the guns, which were worked even while a band to hand conflict was raging for the pos session of them. * Just before dark the rebs charged open oar dismounted cavalry. Gen. Gregg had procured brass Napoleons and placed them in po sition to fake the advancing columns, fie or dered uo lie low anji wait for the word to fire. Whe.v the- rebels got within easy range the word was given ; and in five minutes we had driven every live rebel from the field. Und jr cover flf the (flight both parties withdrew, tre taking our wounded, the rebels leaving theirs behind. Oar lose ivas-abont 2000, mainly pris oners. The rebel loss in killed and wonnded was equal to onr entire loss. My company lost bat one man, William Roddy. I have no list of casualties, or'l would send it to yon. The only question in the army relating to tfae election of a President of these United States is, which of tfae candidates will make himself snch in fact. We want no man for President who will not cling to his entire au thority over every foot of the national domain. We want no man who has not the moral cour age to assert his authority. Much less do we want a man who fears to stand erect on his platform. Why should not every soldier des pise the man who, after leading an army thro* the bloody campaigns of '62, says, by his plat form, “ your experiment of war is hut a four years of failure; come, let us sport the white feather, and sell ourselves as faithful spaniels to onr Southern masters!” No 1 these times require true, earnest, and determined men. So far as I can leartb Lin coln grows in favor with the army every day. If yon at the North will do as well at the bal lot-box as we are doing with the cartridge-box, the victory'Will be decisive and complete. Yours, for peace at the point of the bayonet, . SOLDIER. All good men are in favor of peace; hot .when peace comes, let it be in the shape of a white-winged angel, and not in the form of a white-faced slave, chained under the "bloody feet of an aristocratic.- teEellion.
