But I was not of those who con sidered Atlanta lost when our army crossed the Chattahoochie. I resolved that it should not be, and I put a man in command who I knew would strike a manful blow for the city, and many a Yankee’s blood was made .to nourish the soil before the prize was won. It does not become us to revert to disaster. Let the.dead bnry.tbe dead. Let ns, with one arm and one effort, endeavor to crush’Sherman. . I. am come i to the army to. confer with onr generals. .

Bnt in ’ -the future every effort mill be given, as far as possible, to effect the end. Wo want bur sold iers in the field, and wa want tbe sick and wounded to retain home. It is not proper for me,to speak of the number of men in tbe field, but this I ,will say, that two-thirds of our men are absent, some sick, some wounded, hit most of them absent without leave. The man who re pents and goes back £6 his commander volun tarily,'appeals strongly to Executive clemency. But suppose,he stays'away until the war is ov er, and his comrades return home, and .when ,?v,e.ty manfs history will be told, where will he shield himself? It is upon these reflections that I rely to make men return to their duty. But after conferring with’ our Generals at head quarters, if there he no other remedy it shall be applied. I love my friends, I forgive my enemies. I have been asked to send re enforce menta 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 party sent to the Shenandoah' Valley was not sent here. It was because an army of. the enemy had'penetrated that valley to the very gates,of Lynchburg, and Gen. Early was sent to dyive them This be not only success fully did, bnt, crossing the Potomac, dame well nigh capturing Washington itself, and forced Grant to send two corps of his army to protect it. This the enemy denominated a raid. If so, Sherman's march, into Georgia isf a raid. What would prevent them now .if Esyly. was withdrawn, from taking Lynchburg, and put ting a complete cordon of men ’ arontfd Rich mond 7 - I counseled with that great and grave Soldier, Gen. Lee, upon all these points. - My mlqd roamed over the whole field. With this we can succeed : If bne-balf the men now ab sent without leave will return to’duty, we can defeat the enemy. With that hope- I ani going to the front.” • -Lmay;nol realize this hope, but I know there are men there who have looked death- in the face too often to depgond now.' Let no one de spond. _ Let no one' distrust, and remember t irn Ti 'n- tohu ideal. hfinn ia tka TO.- I Letter from General Sutler to. General .Cameron. The subjoined letter, marked, as it is, by the emphatic terseness which characterizes all the productions of its distinguished author, will be read with especial interest: Headquarters Department of Virginia and North Carolina, In the Field, Sept. 26, ’64’ My Dear Cameron : Ton will deem me a most remiss correspondent.- If you-had ; been ehablcd-to come hero yon would have found much of interest in answer to the question;:— What of .the rebellion from your point of view 7 We have been lying In front of lee’s army now for four'months, which have by no means been spent in vain. Prom the’examinatien of prisoners and deserters, and articles in the Southern newspapers, I am certain that these have been months of depletion to the Southern army ; that the whole arms-bearlng population of the -States within the rebel lines have been exhausted in the effort to recruit their forces, and the capability, if not the will, to resistance is fast dwindling away. The Confederate Congress, in December last, passed.an act, the first action of which Is in these words. “ The,Congress, of the Confed erate States do epact that all white residents of the Confederate-States between the ages' of ■seventeen and fifty' arein the service of the Confederate States.” The act -then provides bow farmers, mechan ics, and others .may ha. detailed by military authority to raise the provisions and do the work for the army in the. field. What .would our Democratic friends whp are so blatant over “ Lincoln’s tyranny” say' to such a draft as' that on oor side ? I would like to see Governor Seymour’s mild protest against it.[’ I would not like to hear Voorbees’ denun ciations of it, for they would be vulgar. ■ Now, when,-! read in the Richmond papers claroorousoans that the detailed men shall be pH put into the ranks, how: can I doubt the united testimony of deserters and prisoners that the rebel means as to men are at an end 7 1 Never having been a convert to the- theory that the provisions at the Sontb would’be read ily exhausted, I have not.placed much reliance upon that result. Yet it, is certain that the means of! transporting those provisions from point to point by rail have given out, and the railroads are becoming so crippled in their equipment, that it-"is Impossible for them to furnish the movement of men and supplies necessary to the extensive military operations required to our_ forces. Add to thi'p the concurrent testimony of prisoners,’ deserters, and refugees, that the rank and file'of their armies arein the confi dent expectation and belief. In the premise of their leaders, that this wilhbe their last cam paign, that the nominee of .the Chicago Conven tion,will bo elected in November, and that the independence of the Confederate States will be, acknowledged and a treaty of peace be con ; eluded, and yoiThave.an imperfect synopsis of ' the reasons why I believe the rebellion hear its end. ' It will be for the loyal men of-the North- to see to it that their treason does not end in the way proposed by,the Southern leaders, aided by the emotion of General McClellan and. the Chicago) platform. _ Here is tW Only danger, if danger exists at all. Thereforo, : whatever may- have been -Or may be the preferences of any man as to any person as to the Chief Executive of -the nation,’ or dissatisfaction with the. c jump ‘of ,tbe(Qovern mput upon matters of mere administration yea, even in-the important points of Adminis- ration policy, as laid down in! the platform or foreshadowed in its actr—it seems to me the plain dhty of every loyal man to support the election-of Lincoln and Johnson. • The question now before the people is not as to the preponderance or fitness of Mr. Lin coln or General McClellan for the Presidency. Admit that neither or either one or the other is of himself the best man fof 'the place. What then ? One must be elected. No other result is possible. We are then remitted to the class of political ideas which each represents ; and to what is' Stitt more important,-to- the- men and! their affiliations by whom each will be surrounded, and controlled in fact, and by whom his Administration will be shaped In the event of election. Can it be that any true man, especially any Andrew Jackson Demo crat, can desire this. Government put into the bands of tbe Messrs,. Vallandigham, Woods, Seymour, Pendleton, Long, Harris, Vborhees, and their surroundings. North and South ? Let ns see what their platform and their can diates mean; If not, then a disgraceful and dishonorable peace, which , will be no peace, and which no true man wants, is to be the re sult. Or, if carried on, then both platform and candidates are pledged to the disband ment of two hundred thousand colored" men, now doing duty as soldiers or serving the | ar my, their places to be supplied either by vol unteers, at an expense of hundreds of millions in bounties, or _by draff, which is the great ground of complaint by tbe opponents of the Government. Nay, more, if either the Chicago platform or McClellan’s acceptance means anything, these negroes are to be returned to their mas ters, to fight or labor on the other side. Does -any one doubt, if returned to their masters, they would be at once sent into the rebel lines, where alone such property has any value ? Upon' the theory of the Chicago platform and McClellan's. “ constitutional rights of States,” I think i£ would “ exhaust the resour ces of statesmanship” to show why these men should not be returned to their former masters, as, indeed, was the practice in General Mc- Clellan’s army. ■ Still further,- does not General McClellan twice over in his letter and platform promise new Constitutional guarantees to the rights of the South 7 Is it possible that all these concessions are to be forced from the North-by Secession and the point of the bayonet 7 That which’ specially affects the mind of the the view I take of this fortunate that such a declaration was made, as it proves a stumbling block to many. Why not treat the slavery question accor ding to the fact that' slavery dies and is [buried whereever our armies march ? No political action can aid, no resolutions of conventions can grinder that result. The war, if prosecu ted to'the end, will accomplish all that the most ardent anti-slavery man can desire, -so that if the war goes on to the bitter end for the restoration of the Union, then slavery is no more, and, all declarations that the war shall or shall not be carried on for the extinc tion of slaveryare futile and worse than use less. The'war will extinguish slavery whether -we wish it or not. Nay, it has extinguished slavery, by rendering the slave worthless. In Charleston, to-day,,a negro can be bonght for $3,000 in Confederate money, which sells • for $3O for one in gold, making the value of the pegro $lOO. And this, too,’ with cotton at§l,- 75 per-pound in New York. Before the war the same negro would bring $l,OOO in gold, with cotton at 12 cents in New York. Soma different system of labor must be de vised for the Southern country in the future, and peace upon any terms, even the acknowl edgement of the Confederacy, cannot prevent it. If lam right in this view of the subject— .and upon this.conviction I have acted since I saw tlje fate in Louisiana in 18G2—then what is there in the Baltimore Platform to which any true loyal Democrat, who loves his coun try, nnd is determined to'fight, if need be, for its integrity and honor, can object. I see ' nothing. But in the changes so rapid in ad ministrative policy made by this war, no one will tie himself to any party cry or party plat form. I have but one article in my political creed at the present time. I am fora sharp, thorough, and decisive prosecution of the war until the authority of the Union is acknowledged, end jts laws obeyed "upon every foot of soil ever within the-bound|aries of the United States. Believe me truly yours, ' Benj. F. Butler. Hon. Simon Cameron. Why does not General McClellan resign bis commission in the army ? For nearly two years be has been drawing pay at the rate of between seven .and eight thousand dollars a year from the Treasury, for doing nothing. Copperhead journals, who are raving about the enormous expenses of the war, may set that down as one item that their candidate might economize im mediatelv. The Hon'. James Guthrie, one of the car penters of the Chicago, platform, has appointed himself to speak “ before the iron interest” of this State at no late day. We desire to assure this distinguished gentleman, in advance, that our iron interestis-decidedly in sympathy with the war and all heavy blows at the rebellion.— Itis, doubtless, among the timber interest that Mr. Guthrie is wanted —the wood and Wood ward Peace party. | —Jease D, .Bright, who was expelled from the United States Senate in 1862, for writings treasonable letter, recommending some person to'the “ kind consideration” of Jeff Davis, was drafted in Snow township Hancock county, In diana, last Saturday.
