The late movements of this army have re sulted in extending our lint . ) as far as Batcher's run, on the Duncan read, a distance of about three miles beyond our former position on the left, and in the discovery of the exact Position of the enemy's lines and works erected for their defence, as well as the more complete knowledge of The country between us and the Sonthside railroad. It was not believed that the enemy had any very strong works in this direction, and that taking them by surprise they could be easily driven into the inner lines of Petersburg ; but, to the surprise of all, not only were the enemy found entrenched on both sides of the Boynton plank r ad, but that they had strong works on both sides of the Run, extending several miles. The second corps, in their 'charge on the plank road', drove the rebels from their works on the south of the run, and across the bridge. of which they held possession until ordered to withdraw. In the advance of the fifth corps they moved on the South of the run, and the road being very crooked in this vicinity, by keeping close to it there was a gap between its left and the right of the second' corps. The enemy took advantage of this, and massing in the woods under cover made a most determined assault on the right of the 2d division of the 2d corps, evi dently with the intention of capturing the 'entire force on the right ; their charge for a very short time was a 'success, but our men rallied, charged in turn, and driving the re bels back cut off the greater Tart of Ander son's brigade of Hill's corps. The number of prisoners thus taken here was about 400, including many officers. In the meantime the sth corps had reached the enemies works on their 'front and became hotly engaged; the loss here was not so heavy. Darkness approaching," and it being deemed unsafe to occupy so extensive a line with strong works in front, and exposed to flank attacks from cavalry, orders were issued to withdraw about two miles, which was done without loss. During the engagement the enemy drove our men from two guns, but before they could be removed our men changed and retook them. The loss of the enemy cannot be stated but it is thought to be about as heavy as mir own in killed and wormed, while their loss in pris oners is much larger titan ours. We took about 500 , altogether during- the day. General Grant and staff were present du ring the entiro day, aati in company with (-ieu. Meade witnessed the wious movements. During Thursday ;night the rebels made an assault on our works south of where the m.ine wilt; sprung, but were driven back with cc In siderable loss. Near the same place a party from the 1, at division of the 2d corps made a dash on a rebel fort and captured it, taking a Colonel, is Major, a Captain, a Lieutenant with 20 men. prisoners, and bringing off 2 guns. Our picket line was advanced here for some dis tance, and our men still hold their new ground.

HARRISBURG, PA., MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31, 1864 HEAR A MINISTER OF CHRIST EXPOSE TRAITORS= And Denounce Treason ! ! cathinßeview of the Chicago Convention A Democrat Demolishing Mod- em Democracy. The Prate Panic—lts Authors and Objetts," The folio wing powerfully eloquent and argu mentative article, in review of the peace platform and proceedings of the Copperhead Chicago Convention, is-from theDanoille Re view, and was written by the Rev. Robert J. Breckinridge. We will not detain our read ers from its perusal by attempting any irrele vant comments of this magnificent produc tion. It is in the following language: The Peaee Pi nte—lts Authors and Ob jeets. 1. We ha-re before us a small outline map of the 'United _Statts, entiled ‘‘Ristorical Sketch of the Rebellion"—published at the office of the United States Coast Survey. It has, no doubt, been inspectOd by many thousands of per sons, and could be studied, without much trouble, by every one. A new edi tion, bringing down the information it conveys to the time of the new issue, and widely scattered over the country. should do more to direct and ,satisfy the minds of men—both loyal and disloyal—than all the party documents that will flookthe country during the impending Presidential canvass. 2. The waving lines drawn across this map, from east to west, and from`the southerriedgo of the loyal. States, as they stood when the war began, drawn south, present to the eye, most distinctly, the progress of the nation in subduing the rebellion, in the territorial aspect of the inatter-d - uring the two years and a half, extending from July, 1861,. to January, 1864. The blue line divides the loyal States from those that had seceded; and shows that in point of territorial extent, the rebellion's States were fully as large, if not larger tha4 the loyal States, in July, 1861—the period at which all parties may be considered as having openly taken position. 3. No line runs north of thin blue line.-' I No conquest has been made by the insurgents; All their attempts at invasion have -utterly _failed. All their destructive raids have ended in defeat, and, probably, iu the aggre, gate, the whole raid, invasion, and guerrilla systems of the rebels, have cost them a great deal more than they ever gained by them.-- The bare inspection of this map shows that the . : insurgents were never able to wage aacres sive war with the United States. Their silly boasts, their insolent pretensions, their al); surd demands, their boasted skill in war, are all oxploded by this map. It is clear to every one' who will look st this map, that the independence of the revolted States never was possible, by arms. '4. The red line shows the state of the tern: , tonal question, in July, 1863—two years sites the war began. Thilred line embraces, adding the spaces blockaded, nearly the entire, At lantic and Gulf coast of the rebel States;'they had lost it all. Then it embraces a country, extending from the Atlantic to the west, as far as the Indian country south of Kansas, a distance of fifteen. hundred miles, or more. This red line runs, waving south, from both , its eastern and western extremity, so as to embrace the country on both sides of the Mississippi river, and that on the Gulf shore, for some distance both ways from New Or leans. In its greatest width, from south to north, this conquered region is a thousand miles wide, or more, and its average width" cannot be less-than five or six hundred Miles. That is, a country fifteen hundred miles long, by five hundred miles wide, is conquered, overrun, occupied, and rendered useless to the rebels in their further attempts. Their whole seaboard is lost, the best half of their country is conquered; and the portion left is .cut in two; all in two year. And yet, men .who desire us ti believe that they are not ,enly loyal, but honestand truthful, profess to believe that the war has been a total failure,. and that the safety of the nation demands the immediate cessation of hostilities, and the conclusion of peace on the best terms we can 5. The yellow line across this map, shows the territory we conquered from the insur gents, during about half a . year, extending from July, 1863, to January, 1864—when the "Historical Sketch" terminates. This yellow line adds to our conquests a considerable ter ritory, along its eastern course, and south of its western portion. So the territorial A!rues tion stood at the commencement of the year 1'864. The disgraceful reverse of our arms m icier General Banks, has temporarily lost us te r ritory west of the Mississippi. The & utal Nle failures by General Sigel and General Hum 'ler, have temporarily arrested our con; ques t c l in Central Virginia.* But the glorious career of General Grant, General Meade, Gen eral Sh, erman, and Admiral Farragat, are ex tending . and confirming our conquests in the very vita,. 's of the rebel country. As far as can be clearly understood at this moment, the fall of Richmond, of Mobile, and the destruction of the rebel. power in Georgia—all three of which, events' are eminently probable and near at hand —liana put the whole rebellion at the mere 3 nerey of our Government. On the other hand, ofFfailure of complete success, for the present, n all three of these enter prises, which is utterly improbable, would leave the cam paig.o of 1864 one of decisive success to the Units 'd States; and would leave the insurgents without the least rational hope from the further prosecution of the war. Yet, it is in these circramstaxces, when a outraged people have absolute triumph immediately in their grasp—triumph, thet secures for all time the greatest blessings—among them, Union, independence, and freosdora—and at the same time, punishes the greatest and most heinous crimes; that the most vehement efforts are made to alarm the, nation into 1 / 4 a disgraceful and ruinous comproinis4.with repels; un- *Thetalinredin the INtentind , tatt Valley fettered to :by the reviewer. have since been redeemed by NM gallant action and glorious victories of Gen. Sheridan and hist, brae% followers. The Shetland°. lb Valley is 'now com pletely rid of the Invader. No d 'oubt 'Dr. Breektiarldge will acknowledge this face in some shape, but we deem It of sufficient Impottantie to record II with our reprints or his great article—Zenon UMW 7L- der the false and base pretext, that we are ourselves ignominiously beaten ! It is a mock ery to speak of patriotism, or loyalty, as actu ating such attempt. There is another material aspect of this question of ignominious and destructive peace, so fiercely urges upon us, which is suggested by a population table, taken from the census of 1860, and printed in one corner of this map. The total population of the nation, by that census, was a littlerucaer 31,500,000. Of these, a little under 27,500,000 were free peo ple; of whom a little over 22,200,000 belonged to the twenty-four loyal States—including Kansas and West Virginia—and including about 200,000 inhabitants of the Territories, and alittle under 5,300,000 belonged to the eT seven disloyal States. For a moment let us re count these eleven disloyal States, and fix in our minds what their 5,300,000 inhabitants hate been'able to do against the 22,500,000 inhab iting.the twenty-four loyal States and the Ter ritories, to justify the enormous clamor, that we must sue for, peace. We have shown the ease in the aggregate; let us see the details. Alabama—the northern part and the sea-coast conquered and in our possession; the southern part, the present seat of war. Arkansas—the western part still in arms—the northerh and eastern parts conquered and held by us. Flor ida—all its Sea-coast, and portions of its in terior conquered and held by us; the rest a theatre of war. Georgia—occupied on the sea-board by us; its northern and western parts conquered—its central portion occupied by the army under Sherman. Louisiana—, the greater part of 'it conquered and occupied by us—the western portion a theatre of war. Mississippi—conquered and occupied; bands of guerrillas roaming over it, completing its desolation. North. Carolina—its sea-board chiefly held by`us—its frontiers, on all sides, partial theatres of war; its immediate fate de pends on the.eperations of Grant and Sher man. South Carolina—portions of it held by us, including all "its sea-board, its fate follows that of Georgia. Tennessee—con quered and ocenpied by us; still desolated in portions of it by rebel guerrillas. Texas —large,pOrtions of, it have been, conquered and occupied; the defeat of General Banks in Arkansas, 1864, temporarily preserved Texas from complete subjugation. Virginia—poor Virginia, has lost the whole . State of West Virginia, and has suffered more in three years of rebellion than 'all the rebel States would have suffered in three httndred years in the Union, even if every grievance they com plained of had been strictly true. This com pletes the eleven States. And we demand, in the name of all that Ought to be held ea ? cred by . truthful ifien, if there is anything hare to justify our alarm, even if we were all poltroons ? There may be, much to excite our wonder at the infinite folly of the insurgent add our compassion'or them; zeneh also to excite our abhorrence of those parties in the loyal States that have habitally deceived the ineurgents with false hopes, and habitually, sought to dismay the loyal people with pre tended dangers. 7. But this aspect of the case is not coin plete,.until we have considered the slave elo-, ment in the two sections, and its bearing upon this peace panic. There were in 1860,, not quite. 4,000,000 of negro slaves. Of these a little over 3,500,900 were embraced in the eleven States that revolted; a little less than 450,000 inhabited slave States that did not re , volt. Observe, there were, therefore, eight ne gro slaves in the eleven revolted States, for ev ery negro slave in the twenty-four loyal States. Observe, on the other hand, there were four free persons 'in the .twenty-four loyal States, to; every freis person in the eleven revolted States.: Observe Again, there were two negro slaves to: every three free persons in the eleven revolted States; while there were fifty free persons to every negio slave, in the twenty-four loyal States. If slavery was an element of strength, the -revolted - States hid this elenient in an: enormously preponderating ratio. And in this case, 'the loyal States had the clearest possi ble right to destroir it; forhotever clear might be the; right of the slave States, under the Constitution, to hold slaves as property, their obligation was equally clear not to turn that property to the'destnittion of others, much less the nation itself; and the right to destroy: the property was perfect as soon as it was• used in that manner. If, however, the exist ence of 'slavery was an'element of weakness, teen just to the extent of that weakness, was the one free rebel's hopeless inability to con quer four free patriots; made more hopeless from the start. But, in effect, all of the 4,000,000 of slaves,..may be said, without ex-. aggeration, to have been on the side of the nation, and against the rebels; which at once changed the ratio from fohr to one, to five to one, as between the. loyal strength and the rebel strength, when the war began. From. one hundred thousand negro soldiers, and up; ward, to whatever w number they may grow, is, one appreciable result of the change of ratio of strength, just stated; and it is but one amongst many such elements. We ,have no ' use to make at present, of this entire branch of our great national question, except to bring it face to , face with this • ignominious !peace panic. titter contempt is the natural emotion, with which every soul capable of ono brave thxob might be expected to look upon the attempt to alarm us into a humiliating cessation of arms, preparatory to the independ ence of the insurgents. We do not feel inclined to offer indignities to brave men, because those who plead their cause, rather than fight for it, make it ludicrous. But we suspect, if the ferocious peace patriots of the loyal States had been put in the place of the 5,300,000 reb els, the 4,000,000 of slaves would have been nearer their match than the 22,200,000 free people. It is proper to say, before leaving this part of ,the subject, that we use, in all we have said, the 'nearest round numbers; and that in speaking of loyal persons and rebels by States, it is again as if speaking in round numbers. No considerable errors that it would be possible to guard against, could arise from this universal method; for what ever are inherent in the mode of statment offset each other, by occurring ratably on op • posits sides. 8. There is, undoubtedly, no very inviting prospect to the authors of this peace panic; founded upon the: complete triumph of tho national cause by arms. Their past and. pre= sent conduct is too conspicuously bad, in every sense, to secure them anything but infamy, if they fail. The greater their disloyal endea vors may be, provided they come short-of completely 'destroying; the ,cation, and de stforini *WI all'virtnous public sentiment, and all wholesome law; the more sure and the more signal will be the retribution which outraged public opinion will hereafter demand from them, and righteous laws enforce upon them, and national . .embarrassments they. have created - reqUire of them. Their own alarm arises from the certainty that the nation Webster. PRICE THREE CENTS will conquer the rebels, if the war goes on; from the certainty that all their own sympa thy with the rebels in atras, and. all the aid they can give them, even to the extent of armed insurrections in the loyal States—can not prevent, nor long delay, the crushing out of the rebellion. They, therefore, with a cora mon accord, lift up this frantic cry for imme diate peace on , any terms—on the shameless pretexts that the war, which has'been signally successful; has been a failure—and that its continuance; which is fatal to them, is fraught with nothiiig but our disgrace and ruin. Their • alarth 'for their own fate, the obvious ground of which we have just explained, is manifested in another way, entirely incon sistent with the pretext that the nation is ex hausted and defeated- but very pertinent to men conscious of their offences, and dreading the consequences—when the nation 'com pletely triumphs. They say, when we have conquered the rebels, we shall have subverted the Constitution and laws, in the process; and then they also will become the slaves of the despotism set up by loyal men. By des potism they mean, whatevery body else means by regalated liberty under just laws. What they mean by becoming slaves is, that their party should be out of power, and that they should be required to behave themselves, or be punished when they do not. The whole disloyal clamor against the public authorities, since this war began, about tyranny and op pression in all the varied forms, and innu merable instances charged, rests upon the insane assumption that the very end of a gov ernment of laws, is to protect equally viola tions of them, and obedience to them. If it has any other foundation, it is the assumption that it is more pleasing to God, and far better for mankind, that all governments and laws should be destroyed, than that they should be used for any puipose whatever that does not tend to gratify, promote and honor the so called Democracy in every infamous caprice which vile and diScordant factions succes sively combine to force ',upon society. In 1860-61, it was through secession that a po litical millennium was -to be secured. In 1864—that millennium being exploded—it is by sudden and ignominious peace, sued for in the midst of a career of triumph, that a new millennium of impunity, and perpetual sla very, is to be inaugurated. All the time the nation is, the victim, and the same priests ffi ociate ai r her sacrifice. 9. There are two aspects united in this peace movement, which the parties to it seem matually iati.olVE4 keep: distinct, . while melt ing into one. The platform adopted at Chi cago is claimed, as far as yet appears, by all the factions in that convention, as sufficiently expressing a view in favor of peace; in which all can se i fficiently unite to vote for M'Clellan for President, and for Pendleton for Vice President. But you must look at both of those candidates'at the same time, or 'else you can not see the true sense of the Platform, If you shut the M'Clellan eye, that Platform changes its appearance very materially. If, contrariwise, yon shut the Pendleton eye, the change is equally great; but in an opposite di rection. Both eyes open are supposed to see both the candidates•at first; and then, by steady looking, a new object, supposed to combine them, comes forth; this they call the Platform. The conception is ingenious, and 'the process cunning. Most of our readers have, no doubt, seen the handsome toy called stereoscope, and very pretty. photographic cards, by which , binocular . vision, as. they call it, is illustrated; and hive been instructed and delighted by the beautiful manner in which some very curious and interesting truths are disclosed. We cannot tell whether the inventor of that instrument took his hint from the time-honored practice of the Democratic party, so carefully illustrated at Chicago, or whether the Democratic party got the hint from the toy maker. Suffice it, the principle has been as well applied to the coarse art of politics for cheating adults, as to the fine arts for teaching children howthey can cheat them selves. We the more readily comply-with the desire of these factions to be considered as only delusively supervened, one upon the other, under special circumstances, since, in effect, other circumstances might possibly oc cur, in which the safety of the nation might' be promoted by the reappearance of eaoh fac tion in its own distinct character. _• 10. The great difference to boconciliated in the Platform, by means of looking with one eye on McClellan, and. the other on Pendle ton, at the same time, was peace by war, or peace by panic. - The panic party won the Platform and the Vice President; - the pre tended war men won the President. The Convention, the Platform, the factions, every thing, is for immediate peace of some sort.— Some partial exception might once have been contended for, by obstinate disputants in fa vor of General McClellan, and the backslid den Union men of Kentucky. But we imag ine, their transitory favor for the suppression of the rebellion is allayed •by the danger of the "peculiar institution" in the latter case, and the temptation of the Presidency in the former. It is true that the first paragraph of the Platform appears to intimate that fighting was possible; it professes that all of them "will adhere with unswerving fidelity to the Union and the Constitution." But there are so many, and such mysterious conditions expressed and im plied, that such a declaration, uttered by such people, under such dircumstances, and with such excessive caution in the use of words, that the declaration may really mean piace at any price. Sincere men look upon the matter pretty much as the old Romans did on the straw that was tied to the horns of a bulL They were not afraid of the bull— they feared nothing; but that whisp of straw was the sign that the bull was vicious. There are many bad signs here, and the character was bad to begin with. They say they will adhere, etc., "in the future as in the pnst.' , To which we reply, if that is all, their "unswerv ing fidelity to the Union" has already dis gtleted every loyal man in America. They limit, moreover, their fidelity to the. Union, while under that special Constitution which now is, and as it is. Any change of it, to special pleaders like these, propably means that their pledge then fails, and they are no longer for the Union; especially if the change were detrimental to slavery—upon which, in K e ntucky, they are risking everything.. At the best, the pledge is not the expression of any devotion to American 'nationality, above, before , and beyond any particular form it may assume; but is such an adhesion as a se- C'easionist might make, to a constitution actu ally existing. And beildes, a very large part of this very Convention profess to believe, we are no nation at all, except so long , as this Constitution exists; and another large part profess to believe that the secession of the Southern States destroyed the Obitstitution, - and dissolved the Union; and another large part have actually conspired against the STIII PAMIR OFFICE, ADVICRTISING BATES-DAILY TICLIEGHAPEL The tblloolug are the sates for adrertlaing in the Tzu„.._ GRAM.

President as a usurper, on the ground that there is no longer any lawful Government.— Considering all this, the Conservatives might profess that the pledge is distinct to a Union —at race popular and territorial—making a nation of States; while the secession peace men might just as well contend that it is f z a Union of sovereign States, by way of con federation. And, in fact, these factions, by their organs, appear to have already so pro fessed and contended. Moreover, the two reasons they give for their devotion are every way suspicious. The first one, about the "solid foundation," etc., can last only so long as we are "a pecple;" which the bulk of these men either believe we never were, or believe we have ceased to be; while not one in fifty of them, if any one at all, appearedto have any idea that we should any longer maintain, by arms, our status as "a prople."-- The other reason, about "a frame work of Government," eta., seems to mean, they are for the Constitution, because, and so long, as it teaches ultra States' rights doctrine. We do not pretend to say that this paragraph of the Platform can mean nothing different evom what we have suggested; nor that anfighe, merely reading the words, without knowir% parties, or their special situation and objects, would, at once, see.all we have suggested in it. But we believe no loyal man, on reading What we say, and reading this pretended pro fession of devotion to the Union, will con sider it honest, and sufficient, in any patriotic sense. Undoubtedly the great body of the American people fully believe, that the Chi cago Convention could not have , t honestly con structed and uttered a pure and simple pro fession of devotion to the nation and the Con stitution, or have honesty declared their purpose to sustain either, by arms, against the insur gents." We do that body no injustice, therefore, 'in saying they did neither. They were not loyal; they were for immediate peace; those who did not believe the war to be illegal from the start, because secession was a constitu tional right, believed that the war was a fail ure, and its continuance infinitely ruinous.— Immediate peace, on any terms, is demanded. 11. We have heard persons, respectable for intelligence, and occupying important posi tions in society, denounce the Union party, the Baltimore Platform, and the President, as being all committed against the possibility of peace, except the institution of slavery shall first lie every where destroyed. Coupled with this, has generally been a defence of the peace panic party, and of slavery, on the ground that all they meant was peace, irrespective o£ every thing but the preservation of the Union and the Constitution, with a special rejection of any particular condition against slavery. We observe that this aspect of the matter has passed from private talk into the newspapers, the "campaign documents," and the enormous .ciprent oratory. It is proper,' therefore; to disentangle the case. 12. The Baltimore Platform of the Union party, in its first - resolution, declares for the maintenance of the integrity of the Union, and the permanent authority of the Constitu tion and laws; and for quelling the rebellion by force of arms, and punishing the crimes of traitors and rebels. The atmosphere we thus get into, is widely different from that of Chi cago. The second resolution dettofinces all compromises with the rebellion, and repudi ates "any terms of:peace, excipt such as may be based on the unconditional surrender of their hos tility, and a return to their just allegiance to the Constitution and laws of the United States," and an express demand is made "upon the Govern ment to maintain this position," and, from it to prosecute the war, crush the rebellion, and save the country. There is the peace doctrine of the Union party in the United States. They have never held or uttered any other, and never will. Peace, based on unconditional surrender of hostilities by armed rebels, and their return to their just allegiance' to the Conititution and laws of the United States 13. Now contrast this wi- h the peace thetrine of the Chicago Platform. Its second resolu tion declares it to be the sense of the Conven- tion, and of the American people, that we have had fiur years of failure to restore the Un(on by the experinient of war;" that is, we are whipped. It then proceeds to allege that these four years of failure by war have exhib ited what may be called a succession 01 usur pations and crimes, on the part of the Fed eral Government, and a prolonged season of suffering, oppression and (disgrace on the part of the people. • Then it demands "that an im mediate 4141 be made for the cessotion rf hostili ties" Then it explains that what it had next in view is, "an nlermate convention of all the Slates"--including, of course, the rebel States ; area to be held during' the "cessation of hos tilities." If this cannot be had—and it is pretty hard to get--then these patriots want some "alien peaceable means" tried! No more war, of course; and this public notification is given to the rebels, that they may be made to understand that they have the whole matter in their own hands, and will get whatever they demand. Then the end of all this atro cious and shameless infamy, the sound of which makes an honest and brave man tingle all over, is avowed to be, "that at the earliest moment, peace may be restored." The mean est thing we reshember to have seen in print, is the detestable hypocrisy which declares that all these seditious purposes, and traitor ous desires, are "on the basis of the Federal Union of these States." Our want of space renders it inconvenient, even if it were neces sary, to show that the remaining portions of this Platform are of the same spirit, and all tend in the same direction, with the paragraph we have now analyzed. There, then, is the peace doctrine of the Disunion party in the loyal States: the war a failure—the nation whipped —an immediate cessation of hostilities—ulti mate convention of all loyal and rebel States --any other peaceable means—to the earliest possible peace that can be got without any more fighting! And this is what we are asked to take in satisfaction of the blood of a million of our brethren—of the utter and eternal dis grace of being frightened into idiocy after we had triumphed—of the partition and ruin of the nation our immediate ancestors created— of three or four thousand millions of public debt—and of the everlasting destruction of human liberty, by proving that free.govern ments are worthless, and human nature too base to be trusted with the care of itself ! Even beyond all this horrible weight Of shame and ruin, there is a self-pollution still deeper, if that be , possible; for we , are asked to put this detestable Scheme into effect .ourselves, by giving power to those who propose 14.
