ally stronghold, the onslaught of surprise and

MEssRs. EDITORS: After long and severe
chase after Hood and his army, we have
again halted, but for how long period, "doth
not yet appear" so embrace the opportuni-
ty: of sending out mail to inform you of our
whereabouts, and how We got here. My last
was written from our camp near East Point,
Georgia, three miles below Atlanta, where
we were resting from the effects of our ardu-
GUS struggle for the possession of the "Gate
City" The present epistle is constructed
beneath the shadow of the famous Lookout
Mountain range. ~
On the Sd day of October, orders were re.
eeived to prepare for march in search. Of
Hoods army, and to protect the railroad
threatened oy them in our rear. At o'clock
next morning, amid darkness, rain and mud,
we began our march, passing round the west
side of the city, among the works built and
the ground fought over by our division in
August, crossed the Chattahoochie river near
the railroad bridge which was carried away
in the center by late flood, taking position
for the night behind line of old rebel works,
FIVE miles from Marietta, having marched
some twenty miles, all hands being thorough
ly tired and generally foot-sore. 5iiaa
On the 9Th we crossed through the woods
until we reached another line of old works,
two miles southwest of Marietta, where the
18th Army Corps was at once formed into
{ line behind them for the night, from whence
they made furious onslaught upon divers
and sundry chestnut trees, filing the woods
with, the sound Of chopping and falling trees
Here we remained dntil the 9th inst, while
other portions of the army endeavored to
pass beyond the rebel force engaged in the
destruction of the railroad beyond Kenesaw
Mountain, to relieve the garrisons along the
road, and, if possible, drive the enemy back
upon us, where we stood ready to "welcome
them with bloody hands to hospitable graves"

SUDDEN DEATH-A man, whose name we
learn is VIM. Pollington, arrived in town
on Tuesday afternoon last on the $50 train.
In short time afterwards, while walking
along the sidewalk ON Main street, he was
attacked with bleeding at the lungs, and was
taken into King & jerks hardware store,
where he died in about fifteen minutes. We
understand that he formerly belonged to Co.
B, 18th ILL.,, Vols, and was discharged about
year ago in consequence of eonsumptive
disease.
The Ladies' Aid Society of this place took
charge of the corpse, and had proper burial
clothes and coffin furnished The funeral
sermon was preached by Rev. G. T. Crissman
to goodly number of citizens and discharg-
ed soldiers, after which the remains were de-
Gently inferred in our burial ground. We are
informed that the deceased has relatives liv-
ing in Wisconsin, who may learn the where
abouts of his remains, if any of them should

lies. The Abolitionists said that the
South could not be kicked out of the
Union, and, as to the msjority, they were
probably right; but they certainly sue
ceeded in driving them out with the bayo-
net, the cannon ball, and torch.
Let me illustrate this by an analogous
case, which very nearly happened in Penn
sylvania. The public authorities of Pitts
burg, and Allegheny county borrowed a
large sum OF money, amounting to millions
and gave their bonds for it, with the full
and unreserved appreciation of the whole
people. After they used the morcy for
their purposes they were called on to pay
an instalment of interest, which they re-
fused, and announced their determination
to repudiate the debt. The Commission
ers, the City Councils, and large party
took measures TO resist payment with all
the force at their command This was
not only an act of gross dishonesty. but il
| was flat rebellion against the laws and
| Government of the State. What did the
Stale do? 1t arrested the wrong doers
imprisoned the Commissioners and the
Councils. If q force of repudiators had
been organized to resist the legal process.
the State troops might have been called
out TO meet it and quell the insurrection-
But if the Governor had made a procla-
nation of war against the whole county,
ordered their crops to be destroyed, their
mills, houses and barns to be burnt, their
towns and cities TO be sacked, they would
have soon forgotten the original quarrel
all would have united in one effort for
mutual defense-and even outside of the
county Democratic traitors might have
been found base enough 10 sympaihiss
with community so harshly and hardly
used. | defy all human ingenuity TO show
me q reason, founded on law, policy or
humanity, for making q distinction be-
tween rebellion against the State in
county, and rebellion against the Govern
nent of the Union in State.
But, my fellow-citizens, have detained
you too long. have but one thing to say
before conclude. Mr.. Lincoln has COM
mitted two great otfenses against the
country-the removal of the Constitution
and the removal Of M'Clellan-he retired
them both. The citizens acted under the
orders of the Constitution as the army
fought under the command of Mcclellan,
| unitedy, promptly, cheerfully, with one
heart and one mind Now, we say OF
the Constitution, as the army says of its
General, '' Gice us back oar O3G Connsars-
der ~ And we couple these demands to-
gether, because the restoration of one will
be the restoration o. both.
