Political parties nre kn0wn-at least the
oretically-b7 their platforms; these being
laid down, Nationally, once In four years. -
If parties do not survive their platforms,
then, surely, none Of the political parties,
which had birth three ysars since, are living
now. It will not be denied that the con-
trolling element in the three platforms laid
down respectively, At Chicago Baltimore
and Charleston, were merely a to the ex7
tension of slaveryss allother matters were
side issues, either attached IS pske-weights
or to darkeu mans understanding BY, many
words. ,1suz soor
The Republicau platform, made at Chicago,
was opposition to further extension Of sla-
very, by prohibiting it from the Territories.
The Douglas Democratic platform, as laid
down at Baltimore, was squatter sovereignty.
or permission for slavets to follow those
who get the earliest start in the Territories.
The Breckenridge Democratic platform,
made at Charleston. was the spread of sla'
very, regulated only by The thsrnometsr.

ATLANTA, Sept. l2.--On Friday, the
21st Of August, portion Of Rosecrans's
cavalry fred across the Tennessee river
into Chattanooga. For few days feints
were made at Harrison, 20 miles above
Chattanooga, and below, at Bridgeport.
BY the 26th the enemy had crossed at
Bridgeport, the small force then at that
point falling back, and Chattanooga hav-
ing been evacuated by the citizens. The
encmy's movements were slow and eau
tious and at length they passed down
Wills Valley, through Dade county,
Ca, in considerable force to flank Bragg's
army on the left, by way Of Rome, and
the cavalry reached Alpine, in Chatta-
nooga county, Ca, on the Alabama line,
twenty eight miles northwest Of Rome.
On the 9th Of September they had
skirmish with Col. Avery, commanding
the Sd and 4th Georgia cavalry, who fell
back after hard fight. The movement
was anticipated. In the meantime, most
Of Burnside's forces are understood to
have joined Rosecrans, and pressed in
considerable force on towards Bragg
through the gaps of the mountains in
Walker and Chattanooga counties, Ga.
Small parties of the enemy's cavalry
have visited Tunnell Hill, Catoosa, and
Dalton, on the State road. 1t is reported
that Gen. Forrest was wounded in a
skirmish near Dalton yesterday. 1t is
believed the main body Of Rosecrans's
army has fallen back to Chattanooga.
He has refused, and it is believed will
still refuse, to give Bragg battle, but will
aim at wintering 10 Chattanooga.
