We have important news from Ghatta-
nooga TO the effect that Hoods forces are
before Dalton, about forty miles southeast
of Chattanooga, on the railroad. This in
teIligence breaks the silence that has hung
over operations for some days South of
Chattanooga. Sherman is reported to be
close upon his rear epd awill make it a hor~
net's nest" There is something mysterious
about this new position of the rebel army.
We had supposed that their defeat at Al
toons had effectuRlly interrupted Hoods
operations. How he can hope to maintain
an army Is incompFehensible, unless he ex-
poets to take Chattanooga, which is report
ed to be well fortified and supplied with
troops to sufficient make protracted seige
and successful defence.
The obseurity which has hung over af-
fairs in Georgis has been as great in Rich
mond as in the North. The Richmond
Eranei,ser, of October 18th, says the posi-
tion of both Federal and Confederate arm
les is unknown to the public. JEFF. Davis,
in his speech to Hoods army is reported to
have said to the Tennessee troops that their
feet would soon press Tennessee soil We
are still of the opinion, however, that get
ting into Sherman's rear will prove dan
gerous enterprise for Hood. He is now liza
bic to utter destruction. Sherman has him
where he will be compelled to fight, and
when itcomes to that, tits well known what
his army can do.
Hood will endeavor to take possession,
If possible, of some Of thestrong mountain
passes on the road from Chattanooga TO
Atlanta. But what if be does ? He cuis
ohSherman, and Is, in turn, cut of himself.
1t is generally understood our army has
two months provisions in Atlanta, and, if
need be, the county south and south west
of Atlanta, which is said to be well sup
piled with corn and pork, can be'put un-
der contributions As to Shermans force
70 alarm need be felt. In his official re-
port he says he began the campaign with
ss,797 men and 254 guns. He adds the i'm
portant information, "about three figures
have been maintained during the cam
paign, the number of men joining from
furlough and hospitals about compromising
for the loss in battle and from sickness"
Hoeds army does not consist of more
than thirty thousand regular troops and
few Georgia militia. The probabilities
are, therefore, that Sherman will destroy
the rebel army.

q" "Gerrymandering.,, ,,

The Democrats, in the modification
which they experience at their Waterloo
defeat in the October elections, charge
that the election of so many Union Con
gressmen from this State is due to the ger
rymandering in the districting of the State.
The answer to this charge is very brief,
and very conclusive. The system of dis
tricting which exists now, is exactly the
same as that at the last election, when
fourteen Democrats and only FIVE Union
lists were elected to Congress from this
State. The same is true in Indiana and
Pennsylvania. Under the very same sys-
tenn of distrIcting which exists at present,
seven Democrats and four UniOnists were
elected to Congress in Idiana, two years
ago, while the Pennsylvania delegation
was tied. The overwhelming Union gains
IN Congressman are TO be attributed TO an
immense popular revulsion of feeling, and
to no change in the districting of the
States.

The rise and fall Of gold is almost
entirely governed by the trickeries of gam
bling instead of the laws of trade. A visit
to a New York Gold Exchange is enough
to convince any man that the present value
of gold is wholly fictitious one. Every
day men, crazy with the love of money
get together and work like demons to get
rold up or down. 1t is no unusual sight
to see Shylocks tearing their hair and
flaming at the mouth over losses which
they have experienced. a fall in gold Of
two or three per cent, during the sales
often sweeps away all that man has.
The scenes that daily transpire at the
Boards are disgrace to civilization. Men
get together, infuriated by liquor and an
insane greed of gold, and enact scenes
that are shocking to behold. All kinds Of
lies and rumors and exsggerstions are
ut in circulation, and nothing is
SO untruthful but that it momentarily af-
fects the price of gold. Just now nearly
ali the merchants, as well as all the specu-
lators, are in favor OF rise in order to
secure themselves from losses. They are
all leagued together to push up
prices, and the "Bullsn are having things
their own way. They know that the re-
bellion is on its last legs They know that
the reelection of Abraham Lincoln will be
the signal for collapse of the great bub-
ble of Southern Confederscy. This time
is therefore their last opportunity. But
men who endeavor to depreciate the cur
rency, are short sighted. What they gain
for their goods in the number of green
backs, they lose in their value. Hence
gold gambling is CRIME against the in
terests of society at large, 1t is absurd to
suppose that lot Of gamblers, sweating,
swearing, foaming at the mouth, gnashing
their teeth, swayed by demOniae fears and
hopes, can properly regulate the relative
value of geld and greenbacks. The coun-
try will see it before long, when terri
bic collapse must ensue.

President Davis at Hoods Army.


u. T. G" /" the army correspondent of
the Columbus Enquirer, in his letter of the
9th September, says:
President Davis arrived at Gen. Hoods
headquarters on Sunday evening. Yester
day, in company with General Hood and
his lieutenant generals, he reviewed the
army. The artillery gave him an enthusi-
astic reception. Last evening, at twilight,
an immense concourse of soldiers assembled
around General Hoods quarters to listen
to a short speech from the President. For
about twenty minutes he held the vast
audience spell-bound; not foot stirred or
even not a whisper was heard during the
time he was up until near the end of his
remarks, when he said, in trning to
Cheatham's division of Tennessee, &" Be of
good cheer, for within short while your
faces will be turned koDsevard, and gon1,
feet pressing Tennessee SOIL" At this the
crowd could control themselves no longer.
but gave vent to their Joy in the most ex-
trGcrdinary manner President Davis was
followed by Genera Howell Cobb, who in
a few remarks made many happy hits and
cOnvulsed the audience with laughter.
General Hood was enthusiastically called
for Slowly rising from his chair, and
dashing his hat down like blushing school
boy, the General said: Soldiers, it is not
my province 10 make speeches; 1 was not
born for such work; that leave to other
men than I. Within few days expect
to give the command forward and 1 be-
ieve you are, ike myself, willing to go
forward, even if we live on parched corn
and beef I am ready to give you the
command forward this very night. Good
night The speaking continued until
late hour. The President, Howell Cobb,
General Hook and Governor Harris made
two speeches. Senator Sparrow, from
Louisiana, made telling speech to Glib

Treason able secret Societies.

We have synopsis, by telegraph, of
Judge Advocate Hollis report on the
reasonable secret societies that exist in the
North, whose object has been to assist the
rebel States in securing their independ-
ence. 1t is almost incredible to believe
they have existed in such numbers as he
reports. And yet it cannot be denied that
the teachings of many Democratic leaders
in the North evidently lead to that active
cooperation with the South, which is pro-
posed in their tres sonable organizations.
1t appears, from the report, that some of
these organizations are in active sympathy
with Davis himself, that they are armed,
and would, if opportunity offered, identify
themselves with the rebels. They are re-
ported to have an armed force of 1900.
All this may be true, and yet the only
way to kill these treasonsble organizations
is for the loyal masses to rally in such
strength that there will be no chance for
wicked men to use their power over their
unlhinking followers.
We do not believe that any
great-number of the citizens of the North
would engage of themselves in open revol-
ution. They may have been induced by
wicked leaders, to join organizations that
arc reasonable and revolutionary and
might be led by them into open hostility.
Let them be crushed out by overwhelm-
ing msjorities at the ballot box, and the
wicked scoundrels who are enacing their
inequities in the North will find their oc-
cupation gone.

The BIunders OF the New York world

The BIunders OF the New York World.
The New York World is the newspaper
leader of the Democratic party. A paper
holding so elevated position is supposed
to possess unusual avenues Of information
and to lay its news before the people with
unusual accuracy. Unfortunately this pa
per has just the opposite reputation. We
have already commented upon some of its
mis-statements, which were evidently Wiiful
and outrageous falsehoods. We notice Z few
now in regard TO the Ohio election, which
appear in Fridays and Saturdays issues Of
the World, and which appear to be mere
blunders. Into the brief space-not over
twenty lines-which it allOts to the election
returns from Ohio, it manages to crowd a
wonderful amount of startling bluuders
What is to be thought of the reliability
of a paper which indulges in such ortho-
graphy as "Goliah" for "Gallia, "Auglai-
aes' for "Auglaize," "Clearmont' for "Cler-
mont" "Van Writ" for "Van Vert"
"Gurnsay" for Guernsey" and "Lorraine"
for "Lorain" in regard to our we'll
known and long established counties
which indulges in "Garland" instead
of Garfield" "ShallaBarger" instead Of
" Shellabarger," Welcher" instead OF
" Welker," "Ecclesy" instead of Eek
ley, and R. F." instead of " R. P. Spaul-
ding" in list of our COngressmen-which
classes A. V. Rice, Ashleys opponent in
the Tenth District as a Republican-and

Alexander Stephens, of Georgia, is re-
ported to be in favor of a peace which shall
recognize the Sovereignty of the States"
He Is reported to be in favor of a convea-
tion of States to attain that object This
is very ingenious. Mr.. Stephens isin favor
of having the North admit the very prin-
ciEle against which we have been contend
ing, the "soverign right" of state to se-
cede whenever she shall see fit. This
doctrine, born and bred in the South under
Calhoun and his disciples, has been the
cause Of all cur woes. Realizing that their
institutions and social conditions we're in
compatible with free things, they at
tempted secession for the purpose of estab-
fishing a strong government which should
be proof against Free Schools, aFree Press
and q Free Pulpit. Their hellish work
was all done under the guise of State
sovereignty, the right of which Mr.. Steph-
ems wishes to see granted by convention
of States.
