Lee's array cheered when they heard.of Dl.'- Clellan's nomination, not when they heard of the fall of Atlanta. What was the cause of the difference ? The eopperbeads ran up the flags 4n City Hall, New - York, when they heard of M'Clel lan's Aoytiltation, not when they heard of the fall of Atlanta. Was the cause of the differ . ewe the same ? When news reached London that Pd'Clellan's nomination was certain, the rebel loan went up three per cent. Why was this? On the day when Sheridan's victory over Early was announc4za -.Union man asked a .111I'Clellanite if he heard the good newd. The reply, of the latter was: "D—n your' i news." Whatlnuikes him feel so? Rebel ifrigoners marching through Wash ington cheered Ai'Gianni and groaned for Lincoln. What was •the cause of th 4 differ .. once ? . When the news of Early's defeat was posted on theM . ls.- Journal of Gonimeree bulletin in Wall street i :the crowd 'that gathered; round it cheered.fgr ],'resident Linpoln. What made them do it, When tlieiewh . Of the fall of Atlanta teaches London, Ihe'reliel loan will go dovin, and when the )203WE1 Acif Sheridan's victory arrives there will, be a 'further fall. - Why should there be? Are we justified in ascribing like effects to like causes? If we find that M'Clellen's suc cess raises the. spirits of rebels at the South, and rebel sympathizers in England, and of the ,sham Democracy here, while a rebel defeat lOWers the hopes of these sympathizers, and that of the 'sham Democracy, is it riot clear .that the cause of the rebellion and that of thd copperheads are the same?. Are not the words of thtißichmond Exam ine# triie, when it says, "Every defeat, of Lin coln'sforces issues to the advantage ' of Mc- Clellan?" Are not the words of the Charleston Courier true, when it says that there is " an intimate connection" between the armies of the Con federacy and the 'McClellanites, and that the victory of the rebels "insures the . success of McClellan—their•feilure insures his defeat ?" Where should a . true . patriot stand—with those whose prospects of success grow bright er when the flag of their country is trailed in the dust, and Minter when rebellion grows weaker, or with those whose victory keeps even pace with the victorious progress, of their Country's banner?---with a party between whom and the rebels seeking to destroy their country, there is estimate connection," or with that on.O.which is hated by every rebel and every rcbe/A ally, at home or abrioad. , Soraccinrsu..,ltsawnplumu.--A remarkable subject for scientific men, says a WaShington dispatch, whiehikeeently came to light in the Patent•Offici3, is: exciting considerable atten tion. patent, issued many year since, which had laid in a safe during that time, upon being taken out was found' to have con tracted to nearly one-fourth of its original di inensions, leaving the letter-press and writing perfeetly clear and distinct, but also !reduced in size like a miniature photograph copy.

The Repulse of the Rebels at Ironton. SEITEMBER 29, 1864. 21i Colonel John H. Dußois, Chief of Staff, Headquarters Department of the Missouri:—At daylight our outposts at Ironton were attacked and forced back to within half a mile of the Fort. The enemy made desperate efforts to get possession of Sheppard's Mountain, and at 2 P. M., they succeeded in driVing the bat talion• of the 14th lowa into rifle-pits, and getting two six-pounder guns into position on the mountain. The three mountain slopes overlooking the fort were filled with dis mounted cavalry. The south front was threatened by four lines of cavalry, extending across the valley between the fort and Iron ton, commanded by .General Marmaduke, while a column passed around the base of Sheppard's Mountain and formed at the South. Gen. Cabell commanded the dismounted cavalry on the slope of Pilot Knob. The rebel troops thus disposed, _a signal of two guns was fired from the mountain, and the assault in force moved on our works, came up in fine style to the ditches, and went back to the mountain in indecent haste, leaving 1,500 killed and wounded. Among the latter is General Cabell, one Lieutenant Colonel, two Captains and two Lieutenants. Our entire loss is nine killed and sixty wounded. Yesterday morning at four o'clock we left the fort and blew up the magazine. Price commanded in person. ..OHAS.,S HILLS. Capt. and Aet'g Ass't Adj't Gen. From the Army of the Potomac.

She brought the body of General Burnham, and also as..PasSenger, General_Stannard, who has lost au arm. An intelligent young Pittaburger, Mr. Jacob Gibson, belonging to the Engineer Corps, who left Gen.

He says there was no firing heard yesterday when they left City Point. Oar forces still hold their own; and have not changed their position since Frida'y night. To save trouble, loss of time and expense, your readers are informed that no passes are granted as yet, to the front, for the purpose of the removal of bodies of soldiers.

A special dispatch to Chicago, from Minne sota, dated Sept. 30, says a letter from Fort Rice, dated Sept. 10, states that CaPt. Fisk's Idaho train had been attacked by the Indians, and that several of his rear guard and four emigrants were killed.. , The Indians then attacked his Main body in such numbers that he was cbmPelled to entrench himself and send. back to.. General Sully for help. In this running fight twenty Indians were killed. The latter expresses tbe opinion that the whole train will have to return; but Captain Fisk does not think so. Another letter froth. General Sully's Com mand, dated August 21, sa)s that Sully had another battle with 5,000 Indians and defeat ed them. He is at Fort ;Union waiting orders to return home.
