Greeley en tie Peen Secreestat: An attempt ig being made by the Re publican leaders to deceive the people into the impression that the Confederate commissioners at Niagara offered" no en ocuragement that the South would agree to a• restoration of the Union, under pro per pledges that their rights would be re spected in. such an event. 9n this point we fortunately have `the testimony_ of one whose authority will not be *touted by the adherenta of the administration. It is that - of no less an individual than Mr. Greeley, who, in the Tribune of July 30th, thus answers an inquiry addressed to him by. the World: The Copperhead oracle of one city thus 'modestly propounds : "We request Mr. Greeley to tell the country, explicitly, whether his tion in the late peace movement. an effort toward disunion. " dancer.—No, sir 1 Is' that plain f We were first impelled to make an ef fort to bring about a conference between authorised representatives of the respec tive belligerents by learning, through va rious channels, that certain distinguished Confederates, then and now in Canada, were.holding out to the leading Demo ends, who flocked over the river to confer with them, that peace might be had on a basis, not of disunion, but of Union. We heard, more specifically, that Ron. C. C. Clay, under certain circumstances or con ditions, intended to write a letter in this spirit to be read at theDemocratioNational Convention, atChicago. Mr. Sanders' pub. limbed dispatch, foreshadowing a peace on a basis advantageous add acceptable to "both sections," also pointed plainly to a Union peace. Renee our action. We submit, that, after such an explicit statement from one so high is the confi dence of the President and his party, the editor or the public speaker who deliber . ately asserts that there is no disposition on the part of the j rebels to swede to peace on the basis of a reconstructed Un ion, must be pOssesSed of slight,intelli genoe himself, or .have little respect for the intelligence of his readers. Tye New York Commercial Acivertiisr says that "if a reliable assurance could be given to the people of the South that the Fede ral Constitution and its strict maintenance were the sole ultimatum of peace, the re bellion would cease -within three months.n The ooncarrent testimony of every man in a position to learn anything of , the spirit and the wishes of the Bauthern-• people leads to the same impression. The South ern masses are as tired of• the war as we of the North, and only wait for the right hand of justice and conciliation to be ex tended to them to glazily renew their old time fellowship with us. Let the truth be kept before the people, that it is only Abraham Lincoln and his followers, with their mad notions on the "abandonment of slavery," confiscation and negro equali ty, that stand in the way of Peace and a so-united country ; and that to tarry out these favorite objects of theirs they intend to continue the war to an indefinite p a:lca, with all its accumulated horrors of death, suffering, taxation and debt.

The effort has caused him mush labor and anxiety of spirit, but it has produced the exact result that all knew it Would" Abts; , poor John !—"we knew him well." Am u bitious, egotistiosl and possessed of some little smartness, of a certain kind, his heed has been turned for some years back with the idea that he, of all the man in the Commonwealth, was best fitted to be 001/.4 ernor.

He would guarantee on behalf, of the South. if not the old Union in all integrity, a Union that would answer the; same purpose—that is, o Union with one code of oommercial laws, and one foreign policy. What further agreement will be arrived at was . a matter for the discussion of the people of the several States. "Them propositions wen discussed in Cabinet council s and, strange to say, the only one who favored them was i no other. than Mr. Chase, the same who had op posed peace only a year previciosly. Mr. Chase had found in. the conduct of the, finances that the limit of exhaustion was al.: most within resobAnd that t ar i foranothei year on the present colossal wale was ply impiataible,inconsistent with the honor and financial integrity of the nation,— Hence Mr. Chase was in favor of treating the proposition of Jeff.

The Confederates now hold the railroad running east from Atlanta to Augusta, and also the village of Decatur. Every, railroad running out of Atlanta, eleept the one north to Dal ton, is now in • their possession.. At last accounts the , Federal army, with the ex ception of the western flank, was posted along Peach Tree creek. The western flank was on its southern bank. The Con- federates now oppose the crossing of the creek, sad the Federal line extends from a point three miles north of Atatata to a point two miles north of Decatur. Sinai Friday last General Sherman hasktoted on the defensive. Various Confederate at tacks have been made upon. his position on the north branch of Pesolt Tree creek. They were feeble, however, and easily re pulsed. Sherman has not yet made any attempt to recover his former poiition on the south aide of the creek. • Details copied from Georgia papers of another battle in. front of -Atlaita, show that the rebels claimed it as a decisive and complete victory; that they captured artillery, prisoners and oolqri, and drove Sherman over a mile. People, however, Were leaving Atlanta, as Sher:lutes shells were dropping freely in the city., On the contrary, General Thomas has issued. a complimentary order to his troops, congratulating- them " upon the brilliant success attending the Union army in the late battles." He elaina that "in the tattle of the 20th, our total loss was 1,733; of the rebels not less than 6,000, not less than 900 of ihom were killed and buried." In the battle oldie 22d, General Thonias puts the total Union liaises at 7,500 'men and tea guns. (Hood claimed !Int 22, then 13 guns.) The rebel lass is prisoners alone was 3,200, and Gen.
