the command of the Potomac Army, but is

to be made the occasion of relieving him,
whether he is unwilling Or not. he is
here now, and has been ever since Grant
returned from the visit to the Potomac

The infamous Brigadier TURcHIN is in
Chicago, attempting to organize two regi-
ments of disbanded soldiers into brigade
in order to "keep down" The Democratic
Convention and the people of Chicago. In
response to his threats the Chicago Times
holds the following emphatic language,
which expresses the sentiment of the De-
mocracy of the United States:
Brigadier General Turchin is chiefly no.
torious for the sack of Athens, Alabama
one of the most barbarous events Of the
war; He obviously thinks that Chicago is
another Athens, and that the Democratic
people of the place are fit subjects for some
thing such treatment as he inflicted upon
the young ladies of female seminary at
the Alabama Athens.
He is, however, the creature of others in
this community. He is the creature of the
Abolition partisan leaders of Chicago.
We have just this to say to these partisan
leaders. If Turchin and his band make any
offensive demonstration during the sessions
of the Democratic National Convention, il
is our opinion that they will be swept into
Lake Michigan as chatf is swept before the
wind.
The movement is not only menace to
the Convention, but to the Democracy OF
Chicago afterwards. If the movement goes
on it will be met by a counter movement.
1t is plain enough that the abolition part
isan leaders of Chicago do not want peace
here at home. If they did, this movement
would not be undertaken.
1t is optional with them whether they
have peace or the other thing.
The Democracy want peace here at home.
They will not be the first disturbers of it.
They will use all just and honorable means
to preserveit. But if they see this Turchin
movement go forward. they will prepare to
meet any contingency that may arise from
it. If the abolition partisan leaders arm
one regiment. the Democracy will arm two
regiments. If the abolition partisan lead
ers arm two regiments, the Democracy will
arm three regiments. And so on.
We repeat the former solemn assevera-
tion: THE DEMOCRACY OF. CHICAGO AND OF
ILLINOIS WILL HAVE "A FREE ELECTION OR
AFREE FIGHT" ..

Titus Oates in s1oulder.strnp~.

Brigadier- General H. b. CarringtOn, a
hero of battles unnumbered, unregistered,
and unsung, is attempting to do the State
service with his pen in default of any ade-
uuate opportunity for the use of his sword
He has been devoting himself to the dill
gent perusal of number of private letters
addressed to another person, the Honorable
Mr.. VOORHEES,, of Indiana, and is now pub
fishing select extracts from these letters. so
garbled and arranged by himself as to give
him quite the air of a new Titus Oates say
ing the commonwealth from a band of dead
ly cOnspirators.
So far as the extracts thus published, and
dating in most cases as far back as the sum-
mer of 1861. are concerned, they seem to
show that Mr.. Voorhees, has number OF
friends who then at least, agreed with Mr.
Secretary Chase in thinking that if the
Southern States were determined upon Sc
cession, they ought to be allowed to seceue
Perhaps, like Mr.. Chase, these gentlemen
have since seen reason to change their
minds. Be this, however, as it may. 1t is al
instructive symptom of the denOralizing
influence exerted upon the public mind by
the practices of the present Administra-
ton that person wearing the commission
of an American officer should be found
shameless enough to avow himself spy
into private correspondence. Time was,
and that but few years ago, when any
respectable man in America would have
resented to the death the mere imputation
of conduct in which men of official station
now indecently and publicly exult.--N. Y.

the Macon road. During Friday he en-
countered the rebel cavalry under Ross, and

rebel railway la an hour. Whether he was
successful, we are in doubt; but on Friday
night fire was seen by our troops in the

tude that the whole heavens were lighted
up by the flames. The presumption

near Jonesboro, and that the flames that

For two or three days there had been agreat

in the trenches, who, when withdrawn,
were in turn marched off, and shipped down

but it is believed, too late to seriously trouble
him. The only fears that are felt are as to
how he is to return; but to fearless raider,
such as he has proved himself TO be. de-
tour around Atlanta, the infiction of more
injury to the Augusta railroad, and the
opening Of communication with our left, is
not an impossibility. Whether he is sue
cessful or not, this raid will be calculated
to remind Hood that his cavalry had better
be employed in guarding his own "cracker
lines" than threatening ours.
Another raiding party has been In the

A COURTEOUS INDIVIDUAL STEALS $4,000.
AN ingenious robbery of gold took place
on Monday, in Wall street, New York, in
the following manner: A small boy-as is
the very imprudent custom among down
town merchants and others-was sent by
his employer with bag containing 5000
in gold, intended for broker in Wall
street. At the Office the boy placed the bag
on the counter, but was told bya person
behind that the principal was not in, and
that he (the speaker) had nothing to do
with the office business. A man standing
in the office outside of the counter. ap-
preached the boy. "All right. sonny" says
the obliging and courteous stranger, Leave
the bag. They all know me here. I'll tend
it for you and see it's all right" The inno-
cent youth. glad to be relieved of the neces-
sity Of waiting any longer, left the office in
a sercnely unsuspecting frame OF mind. A
moment after the courteous stranger left
also, carrying the bag of gold with him,
and neither has since been seen.

CONFRONTING ATLANTA, August 2l.
The Army of the Tennessee is gradually
creeping up nearer and nearer to the enc
my's position, and by planting artillery
upon ridges thus gained, keeps the rebels
very quiet. At night. however, embolden-
ed by the darkness, the rebels open their
artillery. and make occasional sallies upon
the pickets, whom they never find off their
guard. Every picket assault is quickly re-
pulsed, with double the loss that is infiict-
ed upon our men. In an assault of this
kind, provoked bv our artillery, that on
Friday favored the rebels with a terrific
cannonading, General Dodge, commanding
the 18th corps, received severe. but not
dangerous wound, in the head, from mus
ket ball. Later in the evening, General

wound, from which he will be compelled to

Our teiegraphic reports this morning are
voluminous and of unusual interest and
importance.
Secretary StaIFsen sends everal war bull
letins, announcing another desperate battle
ON the Weldon road on Thursday last, the
result of which appears to be satisfactory
TO Gen. GRANT. 1t is also announced by a
Telegram from GRANT to the War Depart
ment that the rebel papers report the
capture of Fort Morgan by Farragut, by
which the harbor of Mobile falls into the
possession of the Federals. and leaves that
city no other protection than its land bat
teries.
The all absorbing topic OF interest now
is the meeting of the National Democratic
Convention at Chicago. In regard to which
the telegraph furnishes full interesting
accounts. Our readers are expected to es-
innate many of the rumors given at their
true value as sensational reports. 1t seems
evident from the drift of the dispatches
that MCCLELLAN is the first and only choice,
and that he win be nominated by unani-
nous vote. We place no confidence in the
reported want Of harmony among delegates.
The usual excitement attending proceed
iDgs of such Importance as canvassing for

sensational correspondents may build de-
