We left sweet homes with all ts charms,
We left our kindred near,
And donned the soldiers uniform,
With all its glitterng gear.

We facel the cannon's 'brazen mouth,

Who soon must have few green backs
Or in the Poor house lay.

We met contagion in the camp,

Which we have got to-day.

The intimatious Of the many correspond
ents Of the Eastern journals, that the Army
Of the Cumberland will 60 into winter
quarters, are asralueless as so many specu-
latons in regard to the complexion Of the
inhabitants Of the moon-yalueless, be-
cause false. The winter quarters Of thAt
army will be in Atlanta, in the heart Of
Georgia; and from that point the terms
Of peace to the rebels, their 4. ".Confederacy"
being smashed, will be dictated. Either
this prediction will be realized in
eyents, or the army that has dong so much
and deserved 80 well, will be ropted and
destroyed. The 1ul1 Of the present is on

will crush the rebel army out Of all the
Southwest; and We can assure our readers
that they have not long to wait before hear
ing the rolling Of the thunder that shall
announce the army's exploits. Itistoo much
to say that victory is certain. The chances
Of battle are beyond the EXTREMIST hum an
wisdom and foresight; but We may declare
that whatever human foresight and wis
dom can do to deserve victory, has with
the. means at the governments disposal
been done; and if the prize that is sought
eludes the grasp Of our commanders. their
failure will be due to events beyond their
control With GRANT, whose name is q

among the War Democrats OF the North
west to send deputation to the organ Of
JEFF Davis, in this city, to ask the conduc-
tors Of that sheet to hoist the real flag
under which they are doing service, aud
to abandon the Democratic name. The
request is only reasonable, and re doubt
not, il it is urged in the proper manner,
that it will he gladly complied With. The
pretence ofloyalty to the Government and
the Union under which it did the rebels
good service for year or more, is wholly
played out; and We are sure that
the reward expected from Its Southern
masters would be much greater if all dis

they perneve1e they will succeed; and in
