If the friends of the lamssl,a Stephen
A. Douglas do not Immediately resolve
to vote for General George B. Mcclellan
for President, it will only be because they
are unsuseeptible to the delicate manipu.
latlons of fiattery. Can they resist the
skillful and ingenious declaration of the
exhonorable Tom Florence, that ga re-
spectful devotion to the memory of Ste
phen A. Douglas, the great statesman of
the West, was the growing motive" which
induced the Committee, of which the
Honorable Tom is Chairman, "to concur
in calling the National Convention in the
city of Chicago" Only think of the
condescension. Douglas was the nomi-
nee of the regular Democratic Conven-
tion of 1860. He was defeated by the
secession of the delegates from the South
ern States, aided by the pro-slavery Dem
ocrats of the North. They put up Breck-
inridge and Lane against him. These
candidates, nominated by seceders from
the true Convention, were supported at
the North and South by the men who all
their lives had been shouting Justify
Support regular nominations" and by
none with more devotion than by the
Honorable Thomas B. Florence. BY
these Vaccinations Douglas was defeated,
and the election of Lincoln was rendered
more certain. Douglas was, in fact,
killed off by the Breckenridge men, the
remnants of which arty,::not now in arms
against the Union, are the principal ope-
rators of the Chicago Convention. Had
there not been a conspiracy among such
men as Thomas B. Florence and his more
wicked Southern masters, there would
have been no split in the Democratic
party of 1860, and there would now be
no faction at the North to carry out the
reasonable designs of their late political
associates, by opposing the legal Govern
ment of the United States, in its attempts
to subdue the Rebellion. And vet the
honorable Thomas B. Florence signs
resolution stating that it was respect for
the memory of Douglas which impeiled
them to choose Chicago as the place for
holding the Democratic Convention! Re-
spect for his memory! respect for dead
lion whom they had entrapped and
slaughtered. What sublimity of can't
ing impudence!
But the Honorable Thomas even goes
'urther. He says that it is his deliberate
that had the life of Douglas
been spared, "his gigantic grasp of mind |

The European Loan.

Our German cousins seem to have all
confidence in the government of the United
States, if we may Judge from the action of
prominent Hamburg banker, who offers tc
take loan of one thousand millions at pei
cent. the loan to run seventy-fve years, in
terest payable semi-annually in coin-to be
disposed of on the continent of Europe or
the principle of premium loans.
The banker proposes to pay the loan as
follows: Seven hundred millions in United
States bonds, two hundred millions in Uni
ted States currency, and one hundred mil
lions in coin. The matter has been referred
to Secretary Fessenden.

Consolatorv.

From an article IN the Milford Herald
as enigmatical as is the creed of the party
which that paper pretends to support, VIC
make the following extract =
"The editor of the Jeffersonian knows
whether "the new editor" that thing
%with a kitten under his nose," does OF
not, that in this county the democrats act
upon what is called the "Crawford Sys
TEN" that we have no such thing as Con-
eeJltson nominations in the county. In
this case it is agreed Gas we were inform,
ed by the party when we first came into
the county, that the organ of the party
should take no part in elections until at,
ter the candidate was fairly before the
people. This instruction we implicitly
respected"
We think Cctter more than respected hi,
instruction-so much SO, that we have
never yet, from perusal of the Herald
been able exactly to tell who were the
nominees of the party of which it profess
es to be an organ. When George IL
Rowland was fairly before the people, as
the candidate of his party, regularly nom
mated, with Mr.. Westbrook as his volun
teer opponent, did the Herald dare to give
him an unequiYocal support? Did moi
Cotter at that time merely pimper along
with Rowland's name at the head of his
paper; afraid even to make simple ap
peal to his party to stand by its man p
And, again, when Staples and Gilbert
were both nominated, and the Democracy
Of Pike espoused the cause of Staples
did Cotter possess the back k-bone to ena
bic him to stand by the choice of hi,
county? True he hoisted Staples's name
to the head of his paper, but that was al
he dared do. He had "nary word
either in favor of his own professed can.
didate, nor against the candidate of the
opposition. But why multiply proofs
when the fact is so apparent. Cotter is
undoubtedly an excellent "blatherskite, "
and makes a good article to be whipped
into" the Democratic Kennel. In the
exuberance of his virtuous young man.
hood he may have had the hardihood
to stake Old Buck by the nose," as he
processes to have done; but in his politi-
cal old age weakness seems to have ia
ken hold of him that prevents anything
like the assertion of independence when
under the control of partizan taskmasters.
We really sympathise with Cotter. We
never experienced the evil, but we can
form some kind of an idea what must be
the feelings of man who, having his
name at the head paper, as its editor,
yet dare not speak out in meeting for fear
of disturbing the political sinners who
surround and control him. Poor Cotter

War Department, Sept. 4, 1864.

To MAYOR General DIX, New- York; =
General Sherman's official report of the
capture of Atlanta has just been received
by this Department. 1t is dated 26
miles south of Atlanta, 6 o'clock yester-
day morning, but was detained by the
breaking of the telegraph lines men
toned in my dispatch of last night.
GAS already reported, the army with
drew from about Atlanta, and on the 30th
had made break of the East Point road
and reached good position from which
to strike the Macon road-the right,
{ (Howard) near Jonesboro, the left (Scho-
ield) near Rough and Ready, and the
center (Thomas) at Couch's.
"Howard found the enemy in force at
Jonesboro, and intrenched his troops, the
salient within half mile of the railroad
The enemy attacked him at three p. m,
but was easily repulsed, leaving his dead
and wounded.
"Finding strong opposition on the
road, | advanced the left and ceter rapid
ly to the railroad, made good lodgment,
and broke it all the way from Rough and
Ready down to Howard's left, near Jones
boro, and by the same movement, | in
terposed my whole army between Atlanta
and the part of the enemy intrenched in
and around Jonesboro,
"We made general attack On the en-
envy at Jonesboro' on the first Of Septem-
Der, the Fourteenth Corps, Gen. jeff C.
Davis, carrying the works handsomely,
with ten guns and about thousand pris-
oners
"In the night the enemy retreated
south, and we have followed him to an
other of his hastily constructed lines near
Lovejoy's Station Hood at Atlanta,
finding me on his road, the only one that
could supply him, and between him and
a considerable part of his army, blew up
his magazines in Atlanta, and left in the
nighttime, when the Twentieth Corps,
took possession of the place. So Atlanta
is our, and fairly one.
"Since the 5th of May we have been
in one constant battle or skirmish, and

twelve hundred, and we have possession
of over three hundred Rebel dead, two
hundred and fifty wounded, and over fif-
teen hundred we'll
