Whatever the merits of the SchleswiR
and Helstsin, or -Schleswig- Helptsih. con-
troversy may be, there can be no doubt
that Denmark exhibits pluck which is
truly admirable. The aKiAkss reply to
the address Of the Re6aAk 3 certainly .
model among royal speeches for pungency
and vigor. He spoke a. follows:
II thank you for the expression OF your
fidelity. Relying upon you and upon the
loyalty of the Danish people, l shall firm
ly adhere. to my policy. and hold out to
the utmost of my power. l shall make
every effort to obtain such conditions of
peace as may be beneficial to Denmark. 1
will admit Of no abolition Of the existing
political connection between the King
dom and Schleswig. I wish to be . free
King over free people. A King is only
free when his country is independent. and
when the constitutional condition is main
tanned and developed. God grant that
at my death this epitAph may desefvedly
be inscribed on my tomb, "A truer heart
never beat for Denmark
The Danes are bitter against English
neutrality and diplomacy. The Copen-
hagen Dagblddet says:
"The English Government opposes by
empty demonstrations the violent acts of
Germany. 1t accepts the sophisms Of
Germany in order to avoid war. A con-
ference on the basis of . personal union
between Denmark and Schleswigan and Hol-
stein would be the destruction of Den
marks freedom and Independence. Under
such circumstances the integrity of Dem
mark is worthless. The Danish people
must, before all. look for deliverancs from
their own exertions, and prosecute the
war with the greatest energy. The fall
of Denmark must be bought with blood.
Diplomatic strokes Of the pen shall not
wipe out a nation of a thousand years
standing"

ful Sherman seized the reul capitol OF

the Cotton States is in his hands. Their
army of old men and boys is scattered
like the Winds Farragut has battered
down the idefenses of Mobile, and the
great cotton port Of the South is at the
mercy ofhis guns. Grant has his clinch-
ing hold on Richmond, his army is be-
ing rapidly reinforced, between him

els must perish. And now, when the
Confederacy is in its death struggle and
must yield to the continual pressure of
our arms, shall we basely retire from

roes to be despoiled !? Shall we crawl
on our knees and beg Jefferson Davis
to rule over us? We believe fhe sche-
mers Of Chicago have entirely miscal-
culated the sentiment of the American
people. The spirit of the nation is not
dead, nor cowed. The burdens OF war
will be borne with patience. The ar

Now that the Conventions have been
held, candidates nominated and plat.
forms declared, she people can consider
the grounds upon, which their votes
are solicited, The people are to decide
whether Lincoln and Johnson with the
policy set forth at Baltimore, or McClel-
Ian and Pendleton, with the principles
enunciated at Chicago, are tod control
the destinies ofthe American nation.----
The question then arises for each man
to decide, is he in favor Of the policy
of the one or the other? The person
al merits of the candidates of course,
more or less, enter into the question,
but they are mere incidental matters.
The Chief Executive Of the United
States is nothing, unless he is supported
by the people, and in that he is the
chiefestl of Rulers. . Bnt the support of
the peopl is. identical with the support
of the majority who elect him to office.
The issue Is not therefore on the per-
sonal merits or character of the differ
ent candidates. Happily for once, the
private character and social virtues of
al the candidates ere above reprosch.
All the abuse heaped upon Mr.. Lin
coin is of political nature the vilsst
partisan has never had the hardihood
to utter aught against his private char
acter., Aside fiom their political char
acter and associates EcClellan and
Pendletoh are heocrsble and respect.
able men. Of course all these Iaen
have their peculiar, mental and moral
characteristics, but they are none of
SO marked original minds that they can
be separated from the parties which
support them; indeed, they would be
unfit for their high positions if II could
be doubted that they would be untrue
or unfaithful to the principles and pol
icy which the respective Conventions
nominating have set forth. 1t is unt
necessary to discuss the personal merits
of the candidates, for tie present con-
test there is that involved which is su-
perior and above all personality.
The election is to decide the policy of
the government, not only for tie pres
ent, but as we view it, fer ell time
to come.
Z Here then is the real issue, and every
man must decide whether he will give
his influence and cast his vote in favor
of the principles and policy declared
at Baltimore or Chicago. How to deal
with the rebellion is the great question,
and OH this issue the candidates and
their conventions are directly antag-
onistic. ..... a.,r .,..,, ,o r..,.
On the other hand Lincoln and John
son are pledged in I'll honor,
''not to compromise with the rebels,
or to offer any terms of peace except
such as may be based upon an uncon-
surrender of their hostility, and
a return to their Just allegiance TO the
and laws of the United
States, and to maintain this position
and to prosecute the war with the ut
most possible vigor to. the complete
of the rebellion in full re-
lance upon the self sacrifices, the pat
riotism, the historic valor and the un-
lying devotion of the people TO their
and its free institutions"

MAJOR FITzGIBBoN's LETTER.
DO CAMr Of i4th Mrcu. VET. Vol. ISrANrnY,l
Near Atlanta, Ga Aug. Ia 1861,
My DEAR SImB iorlaa Hll cg!iauaxg
"A weeks hard labor, marching
comtermarching and fighting, day and
night, has snecessitated our being placed
in reserve for I, few days, though Gas
often before) it'may prove to be but a
few hours. Thus am enabled to an
swer your letters of the 25th and 2sth
ultimo, complying also, rs youperceive
by documentary enclosures, with your
wishes in behalf of my old comrades. %
Contrary to n determination of mine
to avoid anything bordering on politi-
eal discussion during the present cam
paign, 1 am, by some remarks of yours
in both letters, constrained to forget,
for while at least, my recent resolve,
and answer your question, "Will the
soldiers vote?" ETC., for parties You
mention, who are candidates in your
city, county and district. / am now,
ard always have been sincere, un-
wavering and conscientious Democrat.
I voted and labored for the election
of the lamented Douglas; and till lately
had hoped to be able to do likewise for
that accomplished soldier, gifted
though untried statesman and honest
patriot, Geo.iB. Mcclellan. Through
good and evil report, through veal and
woe, sunshine and storm, the Army of
the Cumberland rs that of the Poto-
maoz=affeotionately and unfalteringly,
clung to him as the hope. and future
representative of the nation. But
since the postponement Of the Chicago
Convcntion--a result brought about
through the Influence and invidious
wiles of that traitorous faction denomi-
mated ssPeace Democrats, in COM
mon with my compatriots in the army
find our hopes dashed to earth and turn
convulsively to our saddened hearts.
% The events of the past few weeks
have .forcibly convinced me that there
isnow no Democratic party in tho ma
tion-2-no pure central point around
which the honest masses can rally. In
my ,boyhood's days, when studying the
principles which should govern and
guide my after life, j learned it to be
the Democratic creed to so shape MY
Political action that il would rebound
70 the honor, glory and welfare Of my
sdbbted Country that it was the para
mount dnty, 0f III patriots TO seek 70
promote the general welfare Of The
