particulars Our forces consisted of divi-
sion each Of infantry and cavalry, together
with brigade OF colored troops. General
Smith ont,nannuvered Forrest all through,
and whipped bis force five times. The battle
of Tapaiuci. on tho 18Th, was very severe
one, tho enemy being terribly punished by
our cavalry and negro troops. who bore tho
brunt OF tho engagement. Tho same night
tho rebels assaulted our temporary works,
and were repulscd. On the 18th another
battle occurred, Forrest making three charges
on our line, but was driven back each timc
with great slaughter. On the night OF the
18th, Che last day Is rations were distributed,
and the next morning tho expedition started
on its return. followed by Butford's cavalry,
who retrcated, however, with severe loss, ai-
ter going four miles. On the the 10Th tho

less than 500 men. Not u gun or wagon

Peace Negotiations.

During the past week public attention has
been called to correspondence between Hor-
ace Greeley on the one part, and Clay, Hol-
comb and Saunders. "rebel "agents," on the
other part, in which these commissioners T"
wished a safe passage to and from Washing
ton, to open negotiations for compromise.
Mr.. Greeley communicated with the Prcsi-
dent, who sent the following letter in reply :
EXECUTIVE MANSION. !
Washington, July 18th, 1864.
To Horace Greeley: To rhom IL may con-
Germ:
Any proposition which embraces the rcstora-
ton of peace, the integrity Of the whole Union,
the abandonment of slavery, and which comes
by and with an authority that can control the
armies now at war with the United States, will
be received by the Executive Government Of the
United States, and will be met with liberal terms
on other substantial and collateral points, and
the bearer or bearers thereof shall have safe
conduct both ways.
(Signed) ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Hereupon the rebel "agcnts." who dis.
claim having any authority from the Davis
Government, became incensed ut the terms
offered by the President, and issued long
letter. which looks marvellously like Cop.
perhead campaign document, charging tho
President with insulting them, and stating
that upon his head must rest tho cause for
continuance of the war; That is oil there
is to this matter about an offer Of peace from
the rebels, as thus far developed.
We should be disposed to say that all this
correspondence was an effort ut notoriety,
simply If, simultaneously with the publica-
ton Of this correspondence, we did not have
accounts of secret visit Of j. R. Gilmore
and Col. Jaqucs to jeff. Davis, under pass
from the President. The two circumstances
may not have the remotest connection with
each other, and yet the people are moro Curl
GUS than they would otherwise have been.
But that all may SEQ upon what terms the
rebels would treat. we subjoin remark made
by Davis to Gilmore in the recent visit re-
fcrrcd to-:
This war must go on till the last OF this gen.
Grafton falls in his tracks, aud his children
seize his musket and fight our battles, unless
you acknowledge our right to self government
We are not fighting for slavery. We are fight
ing for independence, and that or our extermi-
nation we viii have.
Mr.. Gilmore. in his letter, further says in
reference to the Clay-Grcclcy letters
II Messrs Sanders, Holcomb, Thompson 4
Co. have "pullcd the WOOL over the eyes OF
Mr.. Greeley, they have not pulled 1t over the
eyes OF Mr.. Lincoln. He, know, fully under
stands and appreciates their overtures, and you
can safely assure your readers that the interests
aud honor of the country are safe in his hands.
II every man. woman and child in this nation
knew him as do, they would believe this, and
would say, as do, COP BLESS HIN.

Tho Battle OF Friday ut Atlanta-Terriblo
Slaughter Among the Rebels.

WASHINGTON, July 25. -
Tho Republican extra says tho Government
has received dispatches representing that
great battle had been fought in Atlanta or
Friday. resulting in horrible slaughter anc
tho complete repulse of the enemy ut every
point. The rebels, holding the greater par
of the city, assaulted our works that day
with great fury, evidently expecting to drive
our men out Of the place. The 10Th corp
seemed to be the special object OF rebel wrath
as they massed against it in overwhelming
force. The 18th received the shock and held
its own until the 10th corps came up, when
the rebels were pushed back with great
slaughter.
Gen. Logan, at the head of the 18th corps,
went into battle with the rallying cry oil
"Remcmber Mcpherson" This corps, as
we'll as the 18th, fought desperately, news OF
the death of their brave commander having
been communicated to them just before 90.
ing into battle. Tho terrible struggle ended
by repulsing the enemy at every point OF the
line.
It was arranged that on Saturday the dead
of both armies should be buried, and the
wounded removed under Gag Of truce.
Our troops buried on Saturday 1000 rebels
who were left on tho field within our lines,
besides which tho rebels buried many of their
own dead themselves near their works. Up.
on this basis it is estimated that the rebel
killed and wounded on Friday exceeded 6OOO
Our loss reached about $500 killed and
wounded. The 18th corps suffered severely,
the cncmy's troops having been masscd
against 1t.
While tho work Of burying the dead and
removing the wounded was going on Satnr.
day, Sherman's heavy artillery was playing
upon the city. At the same time large fires
were observed in different parts Of Atlanta,
supposed to have been caused by the destruc.
ton of the supply depots and other rebel
property which the enemy could not carry
off. and did not wish to fall into our hands.
This is considered Us an evidence Of their in
tention to abandon the place.
Several rebel generals arc reported to have
been killed, but their names are not given.
New YORK, July %.
The Posts special Washington dispatch
says there has been no fighting at Atlanta
since Friday. All that is officially known rs
to the occupation Of the city is that Sherman
holds tho first line of tho encmy's cntrench-
ments.

charges, they are found true, and he is CASH
tered. But he is fortunately an influential
member Of tho democratic" party, and
that fact insures his conservation. He relies
upon having defenders in the persons OF his
political partizans, and they will SEQ to it
tina. the mass Of the people are made to be-
lievc that his crime was no crime.
Tho cutthroats and williams Of Now York
hold high carnival Of blood for three days.
The civil arm is powerless against them, and
they murder and burn and destroy peaceable
citizens and their property. They, too, are
of the rank and file of the Democratic party,
and their representative press receive the
facts very complaccntly, saying little some
thin about enforcing the law, and then de-
nounce the Government for erei;ing The ri.
o,ers.
Addto this disloyal state of feeling through
out the Democratic party the fact that the
opposition to the Government has been char
acterized by wretched, vulgar and personal
maligrity never before equalled in any Gov
eminent, and the prospect for high state Of
morality among certain class is not very
fattering. And why should it be-? A very
large majority Of our Now England people
have been brought up from infancy to look
upon treason as word to DO whispered only
with bated breath. and to DO ranked with
that blasphcmy asains. the Holy Ghost which
shall not be forgiven in this world or the
next. But instead Of encouraging that 10y
atty the Democratic party press for three
years have been teaching their followers that
TREASON is but another name for conscien-
tious opposition to party, and familiarizng
their people with the monster crime, and it is
perhaps hardly o wonder that they at last
embrace that vice, the sight Of which ut first
was hateful to them.
Furthermore, the capitalof the opposition
is entirely personal, and that opposition does
not rise above blackguardism. The Copper
head press deal in nothing but vituperation
and abuse for those whom the people have
called to administer their Affairs. The Presi-
dent, occupying an Office not surpassed in
greatness by any in the world, becomes the
victim Of tho yilest invective and Islander, and
this high officer is habitually referred to as q
scoundrcl, buffoon, tyrant, baboon, &C., by
those who have had no character and who
expect none, who act as though dirty water
was the only drink to be served to their read
ers, and who are utterly indifferent to the
disgust which their language occasions to all
those better than themselves.
Our object is not now to inquire what is
tho present effect Of such teachings as We
have indicated, but to call the. attention Of
the thoughtful to the future. With this dis
respect for our magistrates comes an equal
disrespect for law, q sure precursor Of anar-
chy and violence; and, let the war end Us it |
may, this Generalization on the part of the
democratic" party, unless met and thwart-
cd by q better education, must lay the foun-
daton for system of government as imbe-
Gle as that of the Mexicans, and much more
to be dreaded.

REMOVAL OF Col. BowMAN.-Thc Copper
heads arc Us busy as bees circulating the
story that Col. Bowman was removed from
West Point because he was chairman Of the
committee that invited Mcclellan to deliver

imposition to get up sympathy for McClcl-
Ian, who is as dead as ever Scrooge was. and

the removal OF Col. Bowman was issued a
