Lieutenant MURRAY, the agent of the
Rebel Government in England, in his let
ter to the London Times. August 18th, said !:
Other agents have to be called in
play. What are they? Let us inquire
They are divisions in the camp Of the
enemy, discussions among the people
Of the North. There is already a peace
party there. All the embarrassments
with which that party can surround Mr..
Lincoln, and all the difficulties that it
can throw in the way Of the war party
in the North, to operate directly as so
much aid and comfort to the South

The Richmond Enquirer appreciates the
aid of the so-called Democratic party to
the Southern Rebellion and puts forth the
following programme for a joint rebel and
copperhead campaign:
The success Of the Democratic party
would be no longer doubtful should Gen
eral Lee once more advance on Mead.
Let him drive Meade into Washington,
the Democrats, confirm their timid
and give confidence to their wagering"
Defeated at Chattanooga, and driven
back on Nashville, the Vallandigham
men would carry the election in Ohio
next month with little difficulty. The
peace men in tho United States would
once more assert their manhood and
speak out as they did before the late
disasters Ito the Confederates) choked
their utterances"
The Georgia Cbnstitutional,st also hopes
much from the Copperheads and also pro-
poses to back these Northern friends with
powder and steel:
We still have great expectations
from. the peace men Of the North and
the explosive wrath Of the opposition
masses, but we were never more fully
convinced than now Of the essential i'm
portance Of thick, and heavy blows from
the Confederate armies, in order to give
vitality, system and organization to the
peace men, and TO unloo!e the fierce i'm.
pulses Of the enthralled and terrorized
people.
The Georgia Constttutiondlist agrees with
vallandigham, that defeat to the Federal
arms can only give success to the Copper
heads, but is reluctantly compelled to ad-
NIT that the plot has been sadly marred by
Grant and Meade:
Nr. Vallandigham, himself, as We
have heard, most emphatieally declared
that the success Of Southern arms alone
could give strength and consistency to
the peace movement! and we verify be-
lieve that if Vicksburg had been held,
and Lee had thoroughly defeated Meade
on his own ground, the Woods and Cox
es and Vallandighams and their follow.

1Reader, are you Democrat and voting
and laboring with Wood and Vallandig-
ham, Byington and Mahony, with the
view of aiding the rebels in achieving their
independence and destroying the old Gov
ernment,of the United States? If SO, you
are where you belong and where you
ought to stay. You are rendering your
allies, the rebels, much more assistance
than you possibly could with musket in
your hand in the ranks of the rebel army. !
But, if you have any love for the old
Union and the old flag left, you are a dupe
you are cheated-you are grinding the |
kn!fe that will soon be at your own throat.
