True Democracy.

Patriotism emanates from the heart. fills the
soul, inflses itself into the whole man. and
speaks and acts the same language \ friend
of his country, in war will feel, speak and act
for his country. revere his cOuntrys cause, and
hate his country's enemies. America wants no
friend, acknowledges the fidelity of go citizen,
who, after war is declared. condemns the just
ice of her cause, and sympathiZeS with the
enemy. All such are traitors i'll their hearts.
These principles We're declared and
worthily lived up to, by STEPHEN A.
DOUGLAS; they are those Of the true De-
mocracy; they are no, those Of the Cop
perhead faction in Minnesota any more
than they are of the same faction in Ohio
The spirit of Douglass Democracy is en-
bodied in the Union party which swept
through Ohio like storm, and has grandly
triumphed in every free State from Maine
to California 1t is the very opposite OF
the miserable Copperheadism which OPP
poses the Government so meanly. Be
tween DOUGLAS and VALLANDIGnAM, what
Democrat can fail to prefer and follow the
teachings of the dead patriot rather than
those of the living traitor?

Atlanta.

Atlanta is really the heart of the South
ern States, aud therefore the most vital
point in the so-called Confederate States.
The towns OF Rome and Marietta,
which would a,so fall, manufacture one
third Of the horse->hoes, guns and NUM-.
tions OF war in the South The macllin-
cry for the production Of small arms has
been taken to atlanta, which place las
several extensive foundres All the ma
chinery from the foundres at Chattanooga
has likewise been shipped to Atlanta.
Besides, it is fourishing city, an impor-
tant railway centre, and an extensive de-
pct for Confederate commissary stores
Atlanta to the South is like Chicago to
the Northwest, and its occupation 10y the
soldiers Of the Union would be virtually
swapping TIE backbone Of the rebellion.

Jay Cooke & Co.

Directly opposite the Treasury Depart
ment in Washington, there is now going
up, almost like magic, a superb marble
Banking House. 1t belongs to the notable
firm of JAY Cooke & Co., and is an evil
dence of good-fortune and prosperity which
has probably never been equalled in the
country. They are the agents, as our
readers will remember, of the Secretary of
the Treasury, for the sale of the five-twenty
bonds; and it is said that they acknowl-
edge profit of three-eighths of one per
cent. on the total amount of sales; if that
amount, therefore, is correctly stated at
1886, 100000, then the money that this
banking house has made in less than eigh-
teen months is $96O,OOO When Mr. ROB-
ERr J. WALKER was Secretary of the Treas
ury, it was his privilege to enhance the
fortune Of one or two leading bankers !;
and then, as now, we had q war on hand.

Another Utterance of Webster,s.

The following is an extract from speech
of DANIEL WEBSTER, delivered at the Re-
we're House, on the occasion of his swell
come home," by the citizens of Boston,
April Goth, 1850. Itseems to be forcibly
applicable to the times. The united love
of united government. That is the
noble sentiment of a true friend of the
Union"
The Union for the preservation of which
strive, the Union of the States for which
strive-is not merely Union of law-of Con-
stitution-of compact; but while it is that, it
is Union of brotherly regard, of fraternal feel
ing throughout the whole country. do not
wish that any portion of the people in this
country shall be held together only by the
bonds of legal corporation; bonds which
some of them may think retain their limbs
cramp their affections-gall and wound them.
l wish, on the contrary, that they shall be
bound together by those unseen. soft, easy
sitting chains that result from generous affec-
and common pride. In short, fellow citizens,
my desire is, and my labor is to see that state
of things produced, in which, filling all bosoms
with gratitude, all hearts with joy, illuminat
ing all faces, spreading through all ranks of
people, whether rich or poor, whether North
or South, East or West; there shall exist the
balm OF all our suffering; the great solace of
all our political calamities; the great security
OF every thing prosperous, and great, and glO-
rious in the future; and that is, the united
love OF united government.

Our Army Correspondence.
LETTERS FROM rHE SECOND
ANDIHIEsD REGIMENTS.
EN*d - Second Regiment.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. IL.
TO the Editor of the Pio,epr.
We are occupying the front line behind our
works, and if the rebels have the madness to
attempt an assault, they will be ruined sure.
They never will assault this place. for they
know full well its strength and know too by
the little experience or the battlefield of Chick
amauga, that they could not rush on the little
Army of the Cumberland with impunity
without fearful slaughter The Second is in
good shape, and in regular fighting trim all the
time Col. james George has been strongly
recommended for promotion, and is now, in
the absence Of Col Van Derver, commanding
our brigade. He is deserving promotion and
hope he may get it, We have had three reg
imen,s added to our brigade, ard under the
new order of things, we are the Second Brigade
of the Third Division, commanded by General
Baird, Gen. Brannan having been appointed
Chief of Artillery on Rosecrans' Staff.
We all guess reinforcements are being sent us,
though as yet we have seen lone, but know
some are at Bridgeport. All quiet along our
lines. Not "a gun has been fired by either side
for six days. Reports of course are current
that the rebels are bringing up heavy siege
