If It were possible to bring the rebsllfon*
States back into the Uclon by any means
other than by the force of arms—M we con
cede, by way of argument, that all their acta
and declarations are false, that Secretary
Benjamin's official letter declaring that the
• recognition o i the Southern Coufefleracy as
an independent nation is an indispensable
preliminary to any negotiations, Is mere lus
tian; that the rebels mean Union when they
aty Disunion, and peace when they say war—
it becomes Interesting to inqulrewhat terms
they might be induced to accept, ‘‘Restore
them ih&TcimgtitutiQnalrlghtfJ' say thcDemo
ersts. “ Re-establish the Union, and gutr.
antce for the future the constitutional rights of
every State; the Union is the one condition.
of peace, we ask no more,” says Gen.
McClellan in his letter ot acceptance.
- Gen. McClellan implies two things in this
_ significant paragraph: let, that the South
has not had its constitutional rights in the
past; 2d, that if be could have the Union
restored he would give the rebels a blank
sheet of paper upon which to write their
conditions. Neither of these things are
admitted by the loyal people of the United
States, and it becomes them to weigh well
the words here quoted before they give their
rotes for the candidate who uttered them.
TVbat “ constitutional rights” does Gen.
McClellan conceive have been denied the
South heretofore? Perhaps Jeffi Davis can
help us to answer the question. It is within
the recollection of all that in the month of
February, 7860, a caucus of Democratic Sena
tors was held for the purpose of determining
the constitutional rights of the South in the •
Territories. Senator Davis was the chairman
of that caucus, and he introduced in the
Senate the famous resolutions which pre
figured the disruption of the Charleston
Convention and the secession of the Golf
Slates. The resolutions are found on page
658 -of the Congressional GhA*, Ut session,
SOth Congress. The fourth resolution is as
follows:
Sescited, That neither Concree* nora Territo
* tiv*Sh lat 5 re » wbet&er by direct led *lsmod or
zegwanon or an Indirect and- unfriendly nature. 1
SD*eee* the power to annul or Impyir tbe cm.’Uu- I
onai right of any citizen or the United States to
raise Ms flare property ictothe common terrlto
ries; but it la the doty of the Federal Government
there to afford for tha%aa for other aperies of
property, the teed ml protection; and if expert
once Fbonld at any time prove that the Jooiclsrv
• does not possess power to insure ndeqnate protec
tion, it win then become the duty of Congress to
aopply each deficiency.
As Gen. McClellan belonged to tbe Breck
liiriccc party in 1860 it may be presumed
that the dogma embodied in Davis' resolu
tion Is one of the rights”
heretofore withheld from the South which
he is anxious to secure to them. It is still
Anther evident that he would now concede it
to them because he says that Va XTnim is the
one. condition of peace. Senator Douglas
grappled the monstrousprogeny of the Senate
caucus as soon as it was brought forth, and
he did not cease to combat it as long as he
liver*. It is a matter of the plainest history,
so recent that nobody has forgotten it, that
Davis & Co. rent the Democratic party as
sunder, for tbe declared reason that they
could not get their “ constitutions! right ”
to cany slavery into the Territories, and
have it protected there by the Federal Gov
ernment. "When Gen. McClellan urges us to
to give' the South their constitu
tional rights in the future, we’ ask
him if this is the right he refers to?
Being the vital, and indeed the only point In
controversy when secession began, we con.
elude that it is. Then we say that the loyal
people arc not ready to yield to that demand.
TVe say that they are less ready to yield to It
now than they were four years ago. "We say i
further that tbe friends and followers of Ste
phen A Douglas are not prepared to kneel
to his assassins and confess that they were
light when they brought him to the block at
Charleston..
No! This great controversy is not to be
settled till It Is settled right. The division
has gone beyond the remedies of patch work.
Our enemies know zt full well, and hence
their unvarying demand that we shall recog
nise secession as an accomplished fact before
We talk of peace. Though we humble our
selves as low as the Chicago Convention, and
the Chicago candidates would humble us—
though we admit that we were wrong in
1600, when we refused to protect slavery in I
the territories, and hence that we had been
murderers ever since—they will have no
Union with ns. The question is committed
to the arbitrament of tbe sword, and by the
decision both we and they must abide.
SHALL BICHRIOND ELECT OUR
PBtslDfiNTl ,
It troubles the Copperheads prodigiously,
that tbe Confederate press "evinces such an
interestin our election, 2nd talks out so
plainly as toils wishes; and gives its orders
to tbclr party with such arrogatce; as if it
Was their election still, and they had a right
«s of old, to pull and push tbe Democratic
party this way and that, according to their
own notions of things.- Our malign acta are
afraid that the* Richmond papers will overdo
the thing, end prove the identity of the
Northern and Southern wings too unmistak
ably. But there ie no dodging the fact, that
the Southern papers are as much or more
concerned about the course of politics in the
Northern States, and who shall be our Presi
dent, than they are about the condition of
Lee's army. The frequency with which they
return to the subject, and the terms in which
they express themselves, show unmistakably
that they consider this the great question of
the day; and that their very life hinges up m
it. If th-y can elect a “ Democratic” Presi
dent here, they consider their own inde
pendence a sure thing. They know that
they always did rule that party, and they
tins! that they always can. And they are
right The party which met in tbe Toad
stool on the lake shore was a Richmond con.
cern. It got its shape and animus from the
Confederacy. *
It was directed beforehand how to pro-' I
cccd, and it obeyed. Their papers laid down
the programme; messengers cajue up Into
Canada and met the leaders cf the democra
cy, and talked the whole thing over; and
the proceedings were ent and dried la Her
Majesty's dominions; and the Convention
carried them out So that to-day this Mc-
Clellan party Is In tbe interest ol Richmond;
is moulded, shaped, controlled, governed, as
of old, fiom the South. It Is the same old
party we have contended with and been gov
erned by for thirty years.
The question therefore is, are we to be
whipped in, or shall we resist, and go on try
ing to govern ourselves, os the loyal nation
has been doing this past four years? The
Copperhead press may well be concern
ed that the anxiety of the Confederates
should be so evident. It may alarm the hon
est and unsuspecting ot their party. For
the people, as such, have got tired of the
Richmond rule. They have been determined
to put It down, and we suspect, are so deter
mined yet. It is scarcely therefore ia tbe
.power of tbe Confederacy to helo their allies
elect a President this year; at least by open
planning and direction. They will need to
cover tbclr track weR to do -much. They
maybe very anxious about it, and indeed
cannot avoid such anxiety; bnt may a$ well
make up their minds, that the slaveholder’
rule is over In these free States—whatever
becomes of those further South.
THE MAINE EJECTION.
The news from the Maine election comes
at a good time, and is of good quality.
Though not fell at this date, it Is sufficient
to show which way the wind is blowing, and
to mut the strength ol the current. The
election In that State had been looted fur
with tench solicitude, as It would be the first
token which would really Indicate the course
of the fall elections over the country; and
would begin to shadow out the grot Pre-1
dential contest Itself Ills true that the Ver
mont election transpires first In order of
time; but Vermont is a star that never seta
ana her vote would be no indication of the
vote in the doubtful States. Bat the patch
work Democracy were looking to Maine to
atelhe tflectofthenew nomination. They
predicted semethiug as about to be seen, be
tokening tbe resistless popularity ot their
man of spades. Tbe war men were to see the
prooi of tbe policy cf nominating a man with
stars on his shoulders. The peace at-any.
price men were to see that the country lorg
ed for peace, and were determined to bring
“tide wicked war”, to an end, and consign :
Us guilty authors tbe Llucolnites/to pun- I
tehment and oblivion. I
The election Ims taken place, and though
the vote Js not quite as full as last jc&r, the
ttojorilles tre so far larger, It is thus shown
tb.t llc licartof’hc p:ople Is jet sound ;
sod that when the Issue Is once clearly seen
they are able as ever to discriminate; and ore
determined to get peace by csrtying on the
war. It Is seen that whaUveroraespondencv
may of late have existed, or whatever
of dissatisfaction with measures or with
men may have been felt, it amounts to noth
ing in a practical decision of the question at
Issue. It has either passed away, under the
more cheerfnl aspects of the later military
position, the Improved financial outlook, the
better incoming of crops; and the fact, that
the great draft, which looked so formidable
in its approach, is after all a very manage
able affair, and is likely to pass over with
out any considerable damage. And at all
events the people it seems have come, or are
coming, rapidly to the perception of the
truth, that whatever opinions we may have
as to this and« that question, or man, we
havegot to decide between two men and
two platforms of public policy; add shall be
obliged to take one or the other. Suppose
ire do sot like Lincoln; are'we enamored
of McClellan ? Admit that the measures of
the Govercment do not quite suit us, here or
there. Do we lore-with all our hearts this
Chicago platform ? Admit that the National
Union party contains some very mem men;
will we hng to onr bosoms this agglomera
tion of peate sneaks and hissing vipers
which put together the resolutions In the
Wigwam, and hoisted McClellan and Pendle
ton upon the track ?
*Wc have got along so iar with the war
and have made progress therein; and
though not'always a rapid progress, still
at th e-rate wc have gone on, we shill anbdne
the rebels after a while. Does any man
whose head Is not solid basswood, believe
we should Improve our prospects under Mc-
Clellan npon bis peace platform f
The people of Maine hare ciphered out the
answers to some of these questions* and
the loyal ration will be delighted with the
results. It cannot be doubted that so good a
pattern will be followed In the other States
'That was a good victory in Mobile Bay* 8 o
was that at Atlanta; so was that in Maine on
Monday.
A Capital Caricature.
The Philadelphia Evening TdtgrapJi, o 1 the
Bth inst, publishes a capital caricature tq
presenting the Chicago platform, on which
is pictured a double-headed huut niiura one
half carrying a sword and fire, the other the
olive branch of peace. The persons are re
presented as looking at the platform from
different staad-puinU through telescopes of
apparently equal size; the first seeing _the
amiable and smiling, yet corardly, sabmla
sion side, says: “This platform looks too
much like peace; it don’t meet my views,”
The second, looking at the opposite side, re
marks: “This platform looks like war; it
don’t suit mo,” while the third, evidently
representing a soldier, viewing it from the
front, ejaculates; “This platform looks like
nothing at all; It won’t answer for me”
Underneath is the following from the third
act of Hamlet:
Hamlet—Do yon see yonder cloud that’s
almost in shape ol a camel f
Polonius—By the mass, and ’tie a camel
indeed!
Bam.—ifethlnks It Is like a weasel.
Pol,—-It Is backed like a weasel.
Ham.—Or like a whale?
Pol.—Very like a whale.
The caricature represents the feeling re
garding the Democratic pUtfonn, which is
so utterly false that perhaps nobody conld
be lonnd to stand upon it, save General
McClellan, in the most admirable manner.
His capacity for advotatlngfilsehoods is only
excelled by Ids ability to manufacture them;
and with the exception of the individual
who wrote the platform, Vallandigham he
is undoubtedly, as Dogberry would say, *’the
most senseless and fit man” to be Captain oi
the Democracy. If he nms as rapidly for
the Presidency as be marched the army'from
the Potomac to the James, he will reach the
"White House in about ten centuries. He
gained his victories by dispatches, he will
new be dispatched by a victory.
IBichlgaa Sanitary Fair.
The friends of the soldier in the State of
Michigan have made preparations on the
amplest scale for & Sanitary Fair, to be held
on the 20th, 21st, 22d, and 23d ol September,
on the State Agricultural Fairgrounds,
the beautiful city of Kalamazoo. To com
mend this noble enterprise to tbo heart&’of
loyal citizens seems a work of supereroga
tion. It is a proud boost of onr people
that, notwithstanding the gigantic pro
portions of the war in which we
are engaged, we have kept even pace with
it in those deeds of benevolence which tend
to assuage its calamities, and, os far as possi
ble, make the disease of the camp and the
wounds of the battle-field tolerable, Thewor
still goes on, acd the wants of the hospital
are still to be supplied. It is to this end
that the noble hearted men and women of
Michigan have made their arrangements for
the Fall at Kalamazoo. We commend it
earnestly to onr own citizens as well as to
the people of our sister State. No language
can be more appropriate than that which
concludes the appeal of the “Soldiers’Aid
Society” of Kalamazoo, who have the Fair
especially in charge:
God’s own blearing, we trust, will rest on all
the men and women and little children of Michi
gan, who may be thus Inclined to strengthen the
hearts and hand!, and encourage the valor and pa
tnotlnn of the fathers, and hur-band?, and brothers,
and sons, who have manfully resisted the ore?
throw of that Government, wnlcb rood men oftbe
olden time established, and which we humbly pray
a righteous God may ever preserve.”
IS?* The rebel chiefs at Richmond are
sweeping all their available forces from all
quarters into the army of Lhe, AU their
outlying detachments, guerillas included,
from Southwestern Virginia, East Tennessee
and Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina and
North Carolina, are moving fur Richmond
and Petersburg. Such Is onr information
from the army oftbe Potomac. LeeJs mass
ing an immense body of troops on -onr left—
on that vital Weldon railroad. He evident ly
meditates a struggle of life or death-for its
possession—a crushing assault with an over
whelming column, like that of Stonewall
Jackson at Gaines’ Mill. To this extremity
is Lee reduced by the tightening lines of
Gen. Grant. They must be broken or Rich
mond must be abandoned for lack of snp-
I-lics. The army of the Potomac anticipates
an attack, and prepared at nil points, calmly
awaits the opening of the crowing- act of the
drama. Gen, Grant is not ignorant of the
enemy’s movements, necessities or designs.
Be is ready; bat he can still afford to wait
for while he is now strengthened in every
thing by every day’s delay, Gen. Lee, from
his diminishing subsistence, Is daily weaken-'
ed in his weakest point " *
CST - The leaders of the rebellion have ceased
to see any hope for their cause In the arena
of war. They are now looking to the arena
ol politics. A party has been set up whose
creeds and aims have their entire sympathy
and moral support. The platform of that
party has nothing but expressions of con
tumely for the sacred war, the recital of
which has feen made; for Jeff Davis and
his crew it has nothing hat expressions of
sympathy and respect. The people ol the
North have now before them the momentous
question ol ‘ determining, by their action,
whether they will justify all the precious
blood shed in this war hr carryiag it tri*
nmphanUy through and crowning it with.a
glorious and honorable peace, or whether
by a base surrender they will project it into
history cs a monument of a nation’s folly.
C3T“ Tbs war Is really near Us close. The
present front of the rebellion, menacing
though it be, is really nothing more than a
musk, concealing the hollowness and rotten
ness within. The South is literally exhaust
ed-exhausted of that without which it is
impossible to cany on war—exhausted of
men. Aa Gen. Grant the other day pungent
ly said, the rebels have “robbed the cradle
and the grave to reinforce their armies.” Out
of an available fighting population of up
wards of three-quarters of a million with
which the war was inaugurated, they have
saved on effective force of one hundred or'
one hundred and fifty thousand men. The
rest are in their graves, in the hospitals, dis
abled, or prisoners in onr hands. These are
therforlom hope of the rebellion:
Depots for Dotted States Stamps.— The
government requires that checks, receipts,
deeds, legal documents, and almost all sorts
of * tilings, shall be stamped. If notrstamp
cd, the writings arc invalid. Bat the gov
ernment has provided no depots for the sale
of these revenue stamps. Everybody has to
ure them; but only a few people know where
to get them. The Treasury. Department
ought to authorize every postmaster through
out the country to sell the stamps, debiting
him with them .as in the case of postage
stamps. This system conld be immediately
inaugurated, would cause no trouble, and
would be a great convenience to the people.

MAJ. GEN. SMITH’S MISSIS
BIPPI RAID.
The Fight on the Hatchie,
federal Occupation of Oxford.
DESTRUCTION OF THE PUCE,
Burning of Jake Thompson's
Residence.
[From our Own Correspondent!
Cxmo, Sept 12, 1661
It may be considered rather late la the day
fora correspondent to write an account of
an expedition which started over a month
since, and which returned to Memphis as late
as the 28th nit, but at the risk of being’
somewhat slow, 1 am going to hazard the ex
periment Nothing has as yet been publish
ed to give an adequate idea of the latest raid
of Mej. Gen. Smith’s forces into the State of
Mississippi. I have lately had the pleasure
oi conversing with an officer, who accompa
nied Gen. Smith, who Is fully posted, aud
from whom the following particulars of the
expedition have been obtained. I simply re*
produce, In my own language, the facts taken
down from ibis gentleman’s' account Al
though not written by “ our correspondent
upon the spot,” it is to he hoped the relation
will be found fully as truthful aa many war
accounts which have been famished to the
daily press at the East and in the West.
THE 'START FROM Mwwimra,
■The battle of Tnpelo had been fought,
Gen. Smith and Ma forces bad retnmed to
the city of Memphis, there to repose their
weary bones and recruit the flesh which had
been worn away by severe marching and se
vere fighting. But they were fated not long
to enjoy their case and rest, not greatly to
increase in corporoslty. It was reported that
Forrest and his rebel horde were rusticating
and cutting np all sorts of didos up about the
vicinity of Oilord, Mississippi, much to the
disgust ot the residents and in defiance of
the Union troops known to be so near them.
Orders having been given to that effect,
Gen. Smith’s force, consisting of the Ist and
i)d Divisions of the right wing of the 10th
Army Corps—CoL Shaw, of the 14th lowa,
commanding the latter, and Gen. Mower the
former—with CoL Hatcbe’s Division of cav
alry, belonging to the District of Memphis,
and a brigade ot 3,000 colored troops, under
the command of CoL Edward Bouton, set
out about the Ist of August from Memphis
headed toward Holly Springs.
Gen. Grierson had the general command of
the cavalry department, and the entire force,
cavalry, artillery and infantry, was and -r the
supervision of. the commander, Gen. A. J.
Smith. Included in CoL Shaw’s Division
were the gallant 14th lowa, 123 d Illinois and
58th Illinois, all of whom had made them
selves histories of no mean magnitude and
excellence in the Bed Kiver expedition and
ether raids made by Gen. Smith since-leav
ing Columbus, Ky., less than a year agoue.

THE MARCH TO HOLLT SPRINGS.
Aside from skirmishing and picket firing,
the march from Memphis to Holly Springs,
Miss., was mode without serious disturb
ance. Our losses in these skirmishes were
comparatively few, only numbering one or
two cavalrymen wounded. The men bore
the march well, and the cavalry did its duty
as well as usual. Fart of the troops went to
Holty Springs by rail, part by the wagon
road, but all centered there about the Bth of
August. • No enemy was found at Holly
Springs. Forrest hastily retreated, as was
reported, in the direction of the Hatchle
Biver.
SKIRMISH OK THE HATCHIE.
The column baited at Holly Springs three
or four days to recruit strength and prepare
rations. On about the 12lh of August Fri
day), Gtn. Mann advanced toward the
Hatchie. He bad not moved far when he
came upon Forrest, with a force of some five
thousand cavalry. He gave battle, a brief
but. brilliant engagement ensued, and after
some sixty minutes Gen.’Forrest, finding be
conld no longer stand against so sharp-set a
command, retreated beyond the-river and in
the direction of Oxford* In this affair we
lost thirty men in killed, wounded, and miss
ing. The rebels leit fifty dead upon the field,
and mast have carried off. a large proportion
of wounded. On this occasion CoL Hatch’s
cavalry did good service.
THE CROSSING OF HATCHIE.
Gen. Mower was ahead, had driven Forrest
over the river, and now the entire command
followed upon his trail, and on the next day
were all ever in safety.
Then It was that Forrest divided his force,
took 3,500 himself, leaving Buford and
Chalmers in charge of Oxford, and made the
break or detour which resulted in the raid
upon Memphis. This movement on the part
of.the crafty Confederate, Forrest, was duly
communicated to CoL Bbaw, commanding
the Sd division, the very morning after It oc
curred, by Gen. Buford’s own body servant,
w ho came over to the Yankees for the express
purpose. This man had been a slave of Bn
lunre, through the entire course
of the war thus far, bat had got enough of
rebellion and a rebellions master, and had a
desire to try what virtue there might be in
freedem. He reported to CoL Shaw, enter
tained a good opinion of that officer, and has
since remained as closely attached to his per
son as he had previously been to “Masaa
Buford.” He is an intelligent and active
boy, and is quite an acquisition to'the 3d di
vision headquarters. The report that For
rest had gone came too late to be taken
advantage of, and all Gen. Smith conld do
was to keep on according to his orders.
THE DESTRUCTION OP OXFORD.
On the Friday and Saturday, day and night,
following the crossing, it raked very bard,
and the progress forward was slow and le
dlone, yet the troops moved as well and as
ezpcditionriy as possible, and on Sunday,
the 18th, passed into Oxford just in season
to see the till end of the Confederate column
move out. 01 course ebaee was given, with
but little effect, the rebels skedaddling with
too much activity. The town ot Oxford was
occupied by onr forces on that day. Oxford
was a place oi no great importance in a strat
egetic point of view, having been before the
war only a small inland town, ot aboat 5,000
Inhabitants, a chief depot upon the Missis*
sippi road.
Finding that no farther progress would be
prudent, and having received notice by cour
ier from Gen. Washburn, that Forrest had
entered Memphis, Gen. Smith gave orders
for the destruction of the public buildings in
Oxford. The torch was soon after applied
to all the structures of this kind of any con
sequence, asd hi a'few momenta the public
square was surrounded by a canopy of flame.
The splendid coart house was among the
buildings destroyed, with other edifices of a
public character. In fact, where once stood a
handsome little country town, now only re*
main the blackened skeletons of the houses
and the smouldering ruins that mark the
track of war.
In the suburbs of the place was situated
the splendid residence of Hon. Jake Thomp
son. To this Gen. Smith also ordered tne
torch to be applied, and it also, with its fine
furniture, which could not hive cost in all
lees than SIOO,OOO, was entirely consumed.
The Federal soldiers stood *by and gazed
upon the scene of destruction with feelings
better imagined than described. They wul
cot soon forget that visit to Oxford.
Immediately upon hearing that Forrest,
had reached Memphis, and learning no par
ticulars, Gen. Smith gave the necessary or
ders, and the entire command commenced
Its march toward that place. The order
from Gen. Washburn was merely to cease
penetrating the country, or come to a holt,
but the General thought there might be a
chance of catching Forrest, and hence made
all baste on the return march. He was not
successful, as the reader already knows, For
rest having made his raid, and. in returning,
taken a detour which* carried him off toward
Panola The command marched as far as
Cane creek on Sunday, the 18th. On Mon
day it marched to the Hatchie, six miles fur
ther.
The troops had just gone into camp, not
intending to cross the river that night, when
they were vigorously attacked by Bufora’s
cavalry. A severe though brief engagement
took place. Aid, although our men wer»
taken rather at a disadvantage, they came up
boldly to the scratch, forced the enemy, and
after several ineffectual straggles succeeded
in driving the Conlederates, killing nfteeaof

the Situation at Atlanta—flompara*

ter.
[From Our Special Correspondent,]
NasßviLLs,'Sept. It. IBS).
At the date of the latest telegram from the
Leadauartere of Gen. Rousseau, that officer
had formed a junction of all the passing
forces, and was within ten miles of the Ten
nessee River, and In sight of Wheeler’s rear
guard. Matters must come to a crisis in that
vicinity, I think, before long, and whether
Wheeler escapes across the river or not, he
will he so demoralized that weeks will be
required belore his forces can be made avail
able. There is an apparently well authenti
cated rumor that Kilpatrick is south of the
Tennessee, ready to interrupt the raiders,
should they succeed In crossing the stream.
This, however, may not be the case.
THE SITUATION AT ALAKTA.
Our forces are resting at Atlanta, and right
badly do the men need recuperation.” Few
campaigns on record ever demanded more
labor, more courage, and more watchful
ness than that which has just culminated;
and few,of a purely offensive nature, through
mountainous regions,, and over broad
streams, and extending a distance of 140
miles, ever terminated ao gloriously in so
brief a period.
Our left is at present at Decatur,-on the
Augusta Railroad, six miles from Atlanta*
enr right is at East Point, the same distance
from the place, and oar centre fu the city it
self. Of tnc strength of our forces it will bo
improper to speak, but even ths bitterest
Copperhead, the warmest admirer of Jeff
Davis will hardly contend that it is in any
danger of being driven from Us present po
sitions. It won them by offensive move
ments, carried them by gallant charges over
earthworks and np mountain sides, and it is
hardly to be supposed that the vanquished,
who could not stand on the drfecslvo will
be able to turn and defeat men who'were
successful on the offensive.
Tie tuen are In strong works now—works
that the rebels themselves bnllt—and they
will hold them till ordered to advance.
Sherman knows no snch word as retreat—'
except that 44 retreat** Is of the kind which
takes him farther Into the heart of the rebel
Confederacy.
The campaign has practically ended for two
or three weeks, and it may not be Improper
to taken slight review of what has been lost
and gained. North Georgia Is a mountain
ous region, and was, of course, populated by
white men—mudsills. It was from thence
that the rebels drew their recruits, in a great
measure, tho wealthier sections, until recent
ly, avoiding the conscription; and even
when that became general, they obtilned fat
places, as clerks, &o. It is from the p jor
of the mountains that tho fighting material
of the rebel army comes. Of this ground
the late campaign has put us iupossession of
80,000 square mike, True, the white men
had all been conscripted from the country,
but the conscripts were discontented and
anxious to get home, but this they couldn*t
do while their families were within the rebel
lines.
If they flee North, their wives and children
will bo left to starve, as deserters* families
get no aid from the rich; sod this was held
up even to wretched soldiers, as a terror;
snd right effectually did it operate. But no w
that these men and. their families areossured
of protection. If they escape, they come into
our lines by the hundred. This I know to be
true. At least fifty per day pass through
here, and many, under the recent
over half, perhaps, who come in—remain at
home*
i Of tbo losses in men, on the part of the
rebels, I think tbe following table -will be
found nearly correct, it being taken from the
estimates made by Gen. Sherman himself:
From Chattanooga to the Chattahoochee... .'.12.000
Battle ot July 20ih kono
“ ::
“ .
“ Aug. 31st 6,600
Total 44.600
Our losses in the meantime were about as
follows, rather less than more:
From Chattanooga to Chattahoochee. 16 00Q
Battle of July 20th o’ooo
;; 3.000
“ . s J t] ; coo
“ Ang. 31st
Total 22,600
The first table does not include deserters
who come in after our forces bad crossed the
Chattahoochee; and these number several
thousand.
The Georgia militia, lately numerous In
flood's army have almost disappeared. Re
liable information assures me tnattbe moun
tains are full of them, seeking safety. Oi
those killed in the battle of Jonesboro near
ly all were veteran’s of Hardee's corps.
There are now left of the rebel army about
22.000 veterans, and from 10,000 to 15.000
militia. It has at length cessed to be for
midable, and but for tbe fatigue of Sherman's
forces, would, ere this, have been annihilat
ed. fiut let not Copperheads take to them
selves the delusion that Hood's army will bo
allowed to recuperate. He can get no mbre
men; and he is losing many every day.
RUMORS.
We have a series ol rumors, from various
quarters, but 1 put Jittle confidence in them.
We have it stated that Mobile has been cap
tured ; that our gunboats have been up the
river to within fitly miles of Selma: that
Dick Tyler is on this side of the Mississippi,
having crossed his army over; and. a thou
sand other stories equally absurd.
An intercepted letter was shown me, yes
terday, from a rebel In the South to a party
here. It was signed, “ Tours truly, J
and was directed to “Friend G . doubt
less to avoid unpleasant results, should it fall
into the hands of the authorities. It Is un
doubtedly genuine, the writer being a mem
ber of the Ist Tennessee (rebel)-regiment,
and the carrier one of Wheeler’s servants. It
was chiefly in relation to purely private and
personal matters, but there is one extract
which is important, and I therefore give it.
It is as subjoined:
“ Our case is not buoyant, be assured. Ton
know my position and my intimacy with
B——, a clerk at Gen, Hood’s headquarters,
give me a pretty good opportunity to know
ihe situation. .We have lees than 50,000 men
-one-half, or nearly so, raw, worthless mili
tia. Il ever they get us out of these works,
toese recruits will not be worth ad—n, and
the handful of veterans will have to bear the
whole weight of tbo fight. Lee Is doing a
little better than Hood,«ut he can’t hold oat
long.”
This letter was dated August 13th, and in
the light of subsequent events is Important.
.WAS MORGAN A GENTLE*
MAIN?
An Answer from Parson Brownlojv.
Jeff. Davis’ organ in this city Bays: Mor
gan, with all his faults, was an honorable foe
and In private life a gentleman.”
Now hear Parson Brownlow, who knew
John Morgan, although probably not so
friendly to him os the Time*:
John Morgan is no more! And when he
died, a thitf and covxird expired! He was
killed in Mrs. ’Williams’ backyard, or cab
bage patch, skulking from danger. He was
shot through the heart by Andrew Campbell,
of Co. G, 13th Tennessee cavalry, while try
ing to escape. There staonld be a solute fired
in front of every horse stable in the land in
honor of his death 1 And all fine hones aod
mules should be notified that they may now
repose in qnlet at night, and. graze in peace
In the day time.
Morgan leaves a large amount of gold and
greenbacks, cotton and real estate, the pro
ceeds of his thieving exploits, resulting from
untold murders and robberies, through a
space of three years. Who his legal heir Is
will he difficult to settle. His first wife was
the sister of CoL Bruce, of Kentucky. She
died in Lexington from the neglect and had
treatment oi her debased, gambling and
thieving husband. His second wile was the
negro wench he had with him during his
residence in this city. She is In Kentucky.
His third wile is the daughter of Cbas. Ready,
of Murfreesboro, and she is at Abingdon, in
Virginia. Onrownoplnionis,thatthenegro
wench has the oldest claim upon hia estate,
but we leave this grave question of law to
be settled in the Confederate Courts, or by
special act of theig-Congreas.
Gen. Gillam is in our. town, and brought
with him 80 of Morgan’s men, on Monday
evening, who we saw turned over to the
jail we were once an inmate ot Some of
them were barefooted, and bare-headed and
bare-backed. Ail loosed dirty and mean, as
though they were fit subjects to be command

WSDNESDAT EvENJITO, Sept, 14, 186-1.
The steadiness of the Gold market to-day Im
parted to the rage for speculation additional cn-.
conragement, and the reanlt was firmer and more
active markets all throngb. The demand for
money was consequently greater than ever, and as
the supply of currency is still restricted, and daily
becomlxc closer, our bankers were unable to sup*
ply the demands made on them by tbeir regular
customers. Bay after day the drain on them is
becoming heavier, and as prices are clear beyond
those at the East, the shipments are very trifling,
and bnt Uttle'relief is experienced In thafSvsy. • Of
coarse, this must stop sometime; bat it is feared
that holders of produce slll keep holding, rather
than meet a moderate loss, till they are swept away:
by a panic, which Is snre to come sooner or later.
Cat this state oi affairs is true not only of the
produce trade, but of nearly ail branch*# oi mer
cantile business. Our wholesale houses, instead
of lowering their prices to correspond with the
decline of gold, (on the'tame principle that they
raised them when gold went up to 250,) are asking
the same prices, and selling bnt little—for our
“country cousins'* all understand this matter of
prices now aa thoroughly as the sharpest broker in
the street, and they refuse to huy unless the quo
tations ate lowered with gold. And it “is a poor
rule that won’t work both ways.” On the other
hand, our merchants arc unwilling to inaugurate a
decline till they see whether or not the decline in
gold la likely to prove permanent.
In this way business of all kinds Is retarded.
Produce continues to come In freely, and the
money for this goes to the country, and finds its
way back very slowly.
There is no change in the rate of discount,
which is 10 per cent; but outside ’‘sharks** are
earning 203 per cent per month with, their
capita].
Eastern Exchange is not any plentier, but the
Scarcity of currency renders it a drug. The buying
rates are *o* discount, and the selling rates
*©* discount.
Gold opened this morning In New York at 223*. ’
bnt it gradually fell till it touched 223, and closed
with the second board at 225*. The following
are the quotations telegraphed to James Boyd,
gold broker:
0.80 a, m 228*} 12.00 m . 225*
10.00 mm 226* 1 2.30 p.m 223
11.00 mm 220*1 3.80p.m 225*
Prodncc.dispatchea received at a late' hour,
quoted gold 2*7, bnt they were not generally be
lieved.
Here the Gold market wai quiet—opening at
225, advancing to 226, declining again to 220, and
closing at 223. Silver was heavy at 219. Five-
Twenties were weaker—baying at 1090109*.
There are at present established four hundred
and sixty-nine National Banka, with an aggregate
capital of orer seventy-five millions of dollars,
and an aggregate circulation of nearly twenty-slx
mllllODß. The six New England States contain
eighty-one of these banks; the seven central sea
board States have one hundred and eighty-nine;
the thirteen Western and Northwestern Slates,
(including West Virginia and Tennessee,) have one
hundred and ninety-eight; and Louisiana has one.
Of the cipltal held by these banks, those in the
elxNew England States have nearly twenty-two
millions, 'with a circulation of over five and a
quarter millions; those in the seven other seaboard
States ba*e thirty-two millions and over, with a
circulation of eleven and a quarter millions: and
those in thirteen Western and Northwestern States
have a capital of over twenty-one and a quarter
millions, with a circulation of over nine millions
of dollars. It appears that in the National Banks
of (be New England States the orcnlatloiwts to the
capital abont as five to twenty-one; In the central
seaboard States abont as eleven to thirty two; and
tn the Western and Northwestern States about as
nine to twenty-two.
<fhe New York TriduM of tbo 12lh says
“ Money is quoted more active ameng stock houses,

tmn tbe money for some days, no matter how
great tbe effort to restore it to commercial chan
nels, snd cheap money for tbe remainder of the

The Philadelphia North American of the 12th
says:—“ The money market is without change.
Loans on call are offered at 6@7 per cent per an
num. Beat paper is selling at B®9 per cent.
The N, Y. Tima of the 12th says the break,
down is gold Is cansing an uneasy feeling among
merchants dealieg In Importing goods, and to par
ties under advances. A disposition is shown to'
realize npon commodities, but purchasers ore not
readily found npon a falling market, which at any
moment might pass into a panic under military
success, and a crash in gold. The present premi
um is utterly absurd, and is neither based upon
an iesne of currency beyond the amount la uie
when gold sold at 195 or npon a more favorable
military position. The Government flounces are
In all respects sounder than when gold was selling
at 105, through the healthy support given by the
internal revenue bill and the tariff, Tbe treiaur/
is now In receipt of the regular income tax, and,
next month will collect largo soma under the ex
tra tax bill, and he able to reduce Its borrowing
largely, at tbe same time meeting Us obligations
promptly. There is in an directions a disposition'
to reduce stocks of goods to clear off old debts,
and keep out of new engagements until tbe result
of the Presidential election 1s known and the Vlr
glnla campaign brought to a Anal decision.
The; New York Commercial Advertiser of tbe
12th, in commenting on the recent decline in gold,
soya:—
There Is a general lack of confidence in the con*
tin nance of the present high prices or gold, and
the bolls appear to have wholly lost heart. The
decline of Saturday and toffay has no connection
with any rumors ot the day; bat may be viewed
as a natural effect of regular cansea tending strong
ly to bring down tbe premium of gold. Tho in
creased confidence in tbe credit of tne Government
sbown by the large bids lor tbe new loan will di
rectly tend to enhance public confidence In the
valno of greenbacks, and act also as a new agent
in bringing down tne price of gold.
Tns National Loams.— The thirty-one million
loan hat Jest been taken at 10t®106. Orer sev
enty-two millions were offered—more than doable
the amount asked, for. Many of the bids cams
from the etber side of the Atlantic. The ordinary
rate of interest in Europe Is three or four per
cent The people there do not know what to de
with their money. Tbey go into all sorts of ex
travagant schemes and babble speculations and
big snips Id order to have s chance for increased
interest. Now, tbe United Statea government pays
six per cent interest on Us loans. At tbs present
rate of exchange Europeans who Invest In these
loans will receive about twelve per cent interest on
the amount of money they Invest. This la three
or foar times tbe interest tbey receive from the
European governments, and more than tbey can
make out ol any speculation. KoroUmera are be
ginning to perceive the advantages ot eur loans,
and this accounts for tbe large anma constantly
forwarded for Investment here. No other security
la bo reliable as that of tbe United States govern
ment. and no other pays as good interest to those
who invest specie.— JlT. Y. Herald, 121 A.
