The Situation.
-'Atlanta is taken l" Although no strictly
official news to this effect has yet been
promulgated, there seems to be no good
reason to doubt the general announcement.
, The occupation of the great rebel strong
hold was the result of a scries of battles
fought on Wednesday and Friday of last
week, therein the rebels, they being the
attacking party, were disastrously repulsed.
Not less than 7,000 of their army could
have been placed hors de combat in the.
fighf, while our loss was inconsiderable.
A most stubborn resistance was made to
oar advance, but this was no barrier to
the valor and impetuosity of our troops.
. Atlanta was the golden apple to the pos
session of whrch. their every effort had
been directed for months through the
providence of God it was plucked.
Atlanta was the depot for a vast amount
cf rebel property, including many millions
dollars worth of cotton. It was made
the storehouse of the Confederacy, because
it . was deemed the safest place in the
Confederacy, and the very last to fall.
This fact. shows how grcut is the prize
gained. It is also the centre of the whole
Southern system " of railroads; and its oc
cupation by Sherman severs the Confeder
acy again in twain. A month ago the
Atlanta Appeal warned the peoglo of
Georgia that if they permitted Atlanta to
fall into Yankee hands, they would be
able to cut off all connection of Richmond
with the States below, to take Charleston,
Savannah and Mobile in tho rear, and in
fact restrict the Confederate armies to
Virginia and North Carolina. They held
it to be o? vital importance that Atlanta
6hould be defended. But they have been
forced to abandon the vital point, and the
consequences predicted are sure" to follow
in due time.
' Atlanta has not inaptly been denomin
ated "the great back-door of the Confed
eracy.' Richmond is the front-door.
With the back-door closed forever against
them, and the key of the iront-door in
possession of Grant, things look very
much Hke as if the rebels will all soon be
come close prisoners insido their own
possessions, or elsebe incontinently kicked
out of both "house and home."
"From the Army of the Potomac, the
Bews is meager. A dispatch from Peters
burg informs us that Grant is confident of
success that he says he will as surely
take Riehmond as he took Yicksburg last
EuaimcV Let the people only trust in
him, and tender hira their most vigorous
cupport, and all will come out right.
'-The sties to us are bright to trie
rebels dark and gloomy. Every indica
tion betokens a speedy close of the war
through the utter and irremediable crush
ing, of the rebellion. Perhaps therein
may be found the secret of the recent
appearance' at' the "Clifton House" of
Moma. Ilclconibe, Clay & Co. !

Rebel Emissaries Tliereat.
Concering the Peace Propositions, the
discussion of which has agitated the
country from centre to circumference the
last few days, Hon. Horace Greeley, of
the New York Tribune, writes : "The
telegraphic stories concerning Peace con
ferences at Niagara Falls have a slender
foundation in fact, but most of the details
are very wide of the truth. The Editor
of this paper has taken part in and been
privy to no further or other negotiations
than were fully authorized, and more than
authorized, but these related solely to
bringing the antagonists face to face in
amicable rather than belligerent atti
tude, with a view to the initiation of an
earnest effort for Peace, to be prosecu
ted at Washington. The movement has
had no immediate success.
"Of course, all reportB that the writer
has been engaged in proposing, or receiv
ing, or discussing, hypothetical terms or
DasS of Peace, whether with accredited
ascnts of the Richmond authorities or
others, are utterly mistaken. lie has
never had the slighthest authorization to
do anything of the eort; and he is quite
aware of those provisions of law which
relate to volunteer negotiators with pub-J
lie enemies. Those provisions he hear
tily approves, and is nowise inclined to
violate.
"More than this he docs not as yet feel
at liberty to state, though he soon may
be. All that he can now add is his gen
eral inference that the pacification of our
country i3 neither so difficult nor so dis
tant as seems to be generally supposed."

To the Hon. Horace Greeley Sir:
The paper handed to Mr. Holcombe, on
yesterday, in your presence, by Major Hay,
A.. A. (jr., as an answer to the application
in our note of the 18th inst., is couched
in the following terms:
"Executive Mansion, Washington, 1
"July 18, 18G4.
uTo whom it may concern:
"Any proposition which embraces tho
restoration of peace, the integrity of the
whole Uuion, and the abandonment of
Slavery, and which comes by and with an
authority that can control the armie? now
at war against the United States,. will be
received and considcrea by the Executive
Government of the United States, and will
be met by liberal terms on other substan
tial and" collateral points, and the bearer
or bearers thereof shall have safe conduct
both ways. - , Arrauam Lincoln."
The application to which we refer was
the President of the United States to ten
der us his safe conduct on the'hypothesis
that we were "duly accredited from Rich
mond as bearers of propositions looking to
the establishment of -peace,' and desired a
visit to Washington in the fulfillment of
this mission. This asscrtiou, to which we
then gave, and still do, entire credence,
was accepted by. us as the' evidence' of an
unexpected, but mosc gratifying change
in the policy of the President, a change
which we felt authorized to hope might
terminate in the conclusion of a' peace
mutually just, honorable and advantageous
to the North and to the South, exacting
no condition but that wo should be "duly
accredited from liichmond as bearers of
propositions looking to the establishment
of peace." "Thus proffering basis for
conference as comprehensive 03 wG could I.
-
desire, it seemed to us that the President
opened a door which had previously been
closed against the Confederate States for a
full interchange of sentiments, free discus
sion ot conflicting opinions, and untram
meled effort to remove all causes of con
troversy by liberal negotiations. We, in
deed, could net claim the benefit of a safe
conduct which had been extended to us in
a character we had no right to assume and
had never affected to possess ; but the
uniform declarations of our Executive and
Congress, and thrice repeated, and as
often -repulsed attempts to open negotia
tions, furnioh a sufficient pledge to us that
this conciliatory manifestation on the part
of the President of the United States
would bo met by them in a temper of
equal magnanimity. Wo had, therefore,
no hesitation in declaring that if this cor
respondence was communicated to the
President of-the Confederate States, he
would promptly embrace the opportunity
presented for seeking a peaceful solution
of this unhappy strife. We feel confident
that you must share our profound regret
that the spirit which dictated the first step
toward peace had not continued to animate
the councils of your President. Had the
representatives of the two Governments
mtt to consider this question, the most
momentous ever submitted to. human
statesmanship,-iu a temper of becoming
moderation and equity, followed, as their
deliberations would have been by the pray
ers and benedictions of every patriot and
Christian on the habitable globe, who is
there so bold as to pronouce that tho
frightful waste of individual happiness
and public prosperity which is daily sad
dening the universal heart, might not
have been terminated, or if the desolation
and carnage of war must still be endured
through weary years of blood and suffering,-
tbt there might not at least have
been infused into its conduct something
more bf th spirit which softeu3 and par
tially redeems its brutalities.
Instead of the safo conduct which we
solicited, and which your first letter gave
us evjry reason to suppose would be ex
tended for the purpose of initiating a ne
gotiation, in which neither Government
would compromise its rights or its dignity,
a document has been presented which
prot'okes as much indignation as surprise.
It bears no feature of resemblance to that
which was originally offered, and is unlike
any paper which ever 'befora emanated
from the constitutional Executive of a free
people. Addressed "to whom it may con-
cern, it precludes negotiation ana pre
scribes in advance the terms and. condi
tions of peace. It returns to the original
policy of "no 4argaining, no negotiations,
no truceswith llebels except to bury their
dead, until every man shall have laid down
his arms, submitted to the Government,
arid sued for mercy
Whatever may be the explanation of
this sudden and entire change in the views
of the President, of this rude withdrawal
of a courteous overture for pegotiation at
the moment it was likely to be, accepted,
of this emphatic recall of words of peace
just uttered, and ircsh blasts of war to the
bitter end, we leave for the speculation of
those who have the means or inclinations
to penetrate the mysteries of his Cabinet,
or fathom die caprice of his imperial will.
It is enough for us to say that we have no
use whatever for the paper which has
been placed in our hands.
We could not transmit it to the Presi
dent ofthe Confederate States without
offering him an indignity, dishonoring
ourselves, and incurring the well-merited
scorn of our countrymen. While an ardent
desire for peace pervades the people of the
Confederate States, we rejoice to believe
that there are few, if any, among them
who would purchase it at the expense of
liberty, honor, and self respect. If it can
be secured only by their submission to
terms of conquest, the generation i3 yet
unborn which will witness itn restitution.
If there be any military autocrat in the
North who is entitled to proffer the condi
tions of this manifesto, there is none in
the South authorized to entertain them.
Those who control our armies are the
servants of the people not their masters ;
and they have no mor inclination, than
they have the rit, to subvert the social
institutions of the sovereign States, to
overthrow their established constitutions,
and to barter away their priceless heritage
of self-govern nicnL This correspondence
will not, however, we trust, prove wholly
barren of good result.
If there is any citizen of the Confeder
ate States who has clung to a hope that
peace was possible with this Administra
tion of the Federal Government, it will
strip from his eyes the last film of such
delusion; "or if there be any whose hearts
have grown faint under the suffering and
agony of this bloody struggle, it will in
spire them with Iresh energy to endure
and brave whatever may yet be requisite
to preserve to themselves and their child
ren all that gives dignity and value to life
or hope and consolation to death. And
if there be any patriots or christians in
your land who shrink appalled from the
illimitable virtue of private misery and
public calamity which stretches before
them, we pray that in their bosoms' n
resolution may be quickened to recall the
abused' authority and vindicate the out
raged civilization of their county. ' For
the solicitude you have manifested to in
augurate a movement which contemplates
results the most noble and humane, we
return onr sincere thauks,: and are nicst
respectfully and truly your obedient serv
ants, ' C O. Clay, jr. " . .

Jeff Davis speaks lor Himself.
There lately went to liichmond, in a
rather curious way, Col. Jaques and Mr.
Gilmore (otherwise "Edmund Kirkc,")
to have a talk with Jell Davis. It was
going to the head fountain to talk about
peace, and the resultof the interview
capitally illustrated the Niagara Falls
conference.
Concerning Jeff Davis views, Mr. Gil
more, in a letter to the Dosiou Transcript,
says: : "Jefferson Davis said to me last
Sunday, (and with all his faults I believe
him ji man of truth :) 'This war mas', go
on till the last of this generation falls-in
his tracks, and his children seize hismus-
ket and faght our battle, m.less you ac
Kuowjeuire uur nirm. iu ieji-irovernnieiu.
We are not fighlingor slavery. Wc arc
fighting fur independence,, and that or
extermination we will have.'"
Here we see how much sincerity there
was in the professions of peace by the
rebeb convened on the border.- It is not
an uncharitable conclusion that what they
wanted most was, to get to Piichmond.
To accomplish this they undertook to pull
the wool over the eyes of '-Old Abe.'.'
Their success should teach theai a lesson.
Jeff. Davis, speaking for himself, says
he wants not and will not consent to peace
that does' not acknowledge the indepen
dence of the South. This currhf to be
satisfactory so far as he is concerned.
There is proot, however, thit he dues not
speak for the Southern people. He knows
that for him the arch traitor there can
be no future.. " Not so with the. people, led
at first, but now diivtu aud despairing -For
them there is a standing oiler of par
don. They have but to accept it to have
their ardent desire for peace gratified.
For Davis and his fellow conspirators,
there is nothing possible but to figlit on
there can be nothing worse thau peace;
whereas, the people of the South realize
that there can be no state, so bad as that
under which they are groaning.; " .'
It may be of no httle service to know
that Davis is as unyielding as ever. The
loyar people of the North have undertaken
to put down the rebellion ot which he is
the head. - Two-thirds of the territory it
fir-t included has been wrested from it.
Its armies have been continually beaten
for ncarlv a year. All there is leftof'thc
rebellion is represented by the armies of
Lpe and that which Sherman has driven
from nearly every stronghold iu the State
of Georgia. The condition of the entire
South is deplorable and really hopolcss.
If at such a moment there exists not the
disposition to yield, there of course is but
one thing for theGovernment to do, which
is, to make a finish by hard blows, and
that, too, speedily. We perhaps ought to
thank Jeff. Davis for giving us the Lest of
all reasons for fillingthe ranks in response
to the President's call. There is nothing
else that we can ao, except to consent to
the destruction of the Government, cbu-;
t 'ess the superiority of the rebels, and sub
mit to tho terms imposed by them. Val
landigham and a few others may be pre
pared for that, but not the people of , the
North, who will go through xvith this'war
as they ever do with what they under
take. '
We commend the . testimony of Mr.
Gilmore, touching Jeff. Davis' peaceful
and lamb-like disposition, to tho Copper
heads, who are continually denouncing
the war. You see, gentlemen, what the
alternative must be, it we do not fight the
war to the eud, which is close at hand.
Are you ready for that alternative? If
yuu are, say so at once, like men and
traitors, as you arel If you are not, then
come out like patriots on the side of the
Government:. At any rate, let us hear no
more whininz about peace, unless you are
piepareu to accept just such peace as Jeff
Davis is willing to accord. ' i

' Tiie Boat Hack at Pittsburg. The
champion Fcull-race between James 11am
m 11 of PitUburg and Joshua Ward pf New
burg, New York, for a purso of 1,000,
took place on Tuesday afternoon, in the
Mouongahela river. The event attracted
a very largo number of people from the
city and adjoining towns, and long before
the hour of starting the banks' were liter
ally lined with crowds as far as the eye
could reach. The distance to be rowed
was five miles. At a few minutes before
four o'clock, a pistol was fired as the signal
for the start,-and both men struck oars
simultaneously. A better startcould not
have been desired. In the first forty
yards llamill gained fully a length, and
seemed to gain steadily thereafter. As
the men in their tiny boats pasted around
the bend in the river, tho cheers of the
multitude in the vicinity of the starting
poiut were !oud and hearty. -
llamill reached the buoy, made tho
turn ahead of Ward, and upon the return
gradually widened the gap between them.
Looking through a glass, at the distance
of about a mile and a half, it wa5-uu5cun
to determine which was ahead, but n!
they came closer, and could be eecn
tho baked eye, llamill was discovered t
be considerably in the advance. On th
last quarter of a mile it was plainly J
parent that llamill was "taking it qif"
easy," while Ward seemed to be "pnli;n6
for his life." The story is soon told J!
llamill continued to row quite leisure?"
and reached the place of starting a Ien?th
or two ahead of Ward, thus winni fh
race quite easily. Time : forty raicutes
and forty-six seconds. -When they landed
both-appeared flushed, and.fatigund and
after . a . f qw I amicable ; words exchanged
with one another, they repaired to the
contrary sides of the river.
