FLEMINGsBURe, KY, Sept. 9th, 1864.
Messrs. Eaitors:-The canvass has already
commenced in this county with wild en-
thusiasm. Our old Democratic War Horse,
Hon. Jos. M. ALEXANDER, made one OF his
able and most eloquent speeches. upon his
return from the Convention, on Saturday
last, at the Court House in this place, to a
crowded audience, in support of Mcclellan
Pendleton and Peace. The Judge is very
fol- eible and eloquent speaker, and never
fails to attract the closest attention Of his
auditors. You may imagine his remarks
were well received upon this occasion, as it
was the first real old fashioned democratic
Grafton we have had the pleasure to listen
to since this unholy strife commenced.-
Surely it seems as though "ths good old
days of the republic" are about to return to
us again.
The nominees and platform Of the Chicago
Convention, seem to sui: nearly every body.
The Convention could not possibly have
selected any other ticket which would have
comm anded as much general applause as
the one before the people. In TACT the
ticket m Gets with aim ost universal appro-
baton from every quarter. Mcclellan,
Pendleton and Peace is on the lips OF every
one. The people are tired of the usurpa-
tions Of the tyrant and despot at Washing
ton and will hurl him and his Infamous
crew from power, in November next, like
an avalanche. The time has come to swap
horses" and with such team as NJ cClellan
and Pendleton, we can we'll afford to hitch
them in the old constitutional traces and
haul the old wagon out Of the mire as it aOas.
I'VE are coming father Abraham" Look
out u November. At the conclusion Of the
Judges speech three hearty cheers were
given for the Hero, Statesman and Peace
after which vote was taken, which was
unanimous for Mcclellan and Pendleton
with only one exception.
Yours truly,
VOX POPULI.

DIED.,

In this City, Tuesday evening, August 3Oth,
1854 at 10 o'clock, Mrs. LUCY NJ. CADY, in
the 6Sth year of her age.
Seldom has the biographer such a beautiful
subject as the life and character of her, whose
name appears in the above notice. 1t the
privilege of the writer to know her well, and he
found her true in all the relations of life. As q
mother she was affectionate and indulgent; a
friend kind and faithful; Christian humble
and obedient. To tell when she began to live in
Christ, would be to tell the story of her child
hood, for pious mother taught her the beautiful
and touching lessons ofthe Gospel. Her Christian
life was growth: it began in infancy and it con-
tinued until the end of her days; it not
spark, suddenly ignited, and as suddenly eX-
tinguished. but flame, enklndIed by the Holy
Spirit, to burn forever For many years, she felt
that her natural strength was abating, and SO she
kept her latter end constantly in view. She set
her house in order ard patiently waited for the
Masters call. When death came, two weeks
after severe stroke of paralysis, she was ready,
and without fear, and without struggle, she
fell asleep
When diving che blessed her children, and her
message to the Church was, "Tell them to be
more faithful; that they cannot be too well pre-
pared for the hour of death"
With the bsreaved children We drop tear of
sorrow, but we render 'hearty thanks to God for
the good examples of all His Servants, who,
having finished their course in faith do now rest
from their labors."
Her life and character suggest the words o
our Saviour: Therefore be We also ready; for i
such an hour as ye think not the Son OF Man
oometh."

GoFFICIAL TEXT. |

l. That In the future as in the past, we
will adhere with answering fidelity to the
Union under the Constitution, IS the only
solid foundation of our strength, security
and happiness as people, and as a frame
work of Government equally conductive to
the welfare and prosperity Of all the States,
both Northern and Southern.
2. That this Convention does explicitly
declare, as the sense of the American peo-
pie, that after four years of failure to restore
the Union by the experiment of war, during
and under which, the pretense of militia
ry necessity or war power higher than the
Constitution, the Constitution itself has been
disregarded in every part, and public liber-
ty and private right alike trodden down,
and the material prosperity of the country
essentially mpaired-justice. humanity,
liberty and the public welfare demand that
immediate efforts be made for a cessation of
hostilities, with view to an ultimate Con-
venlion of the States, or other peaceable
means, to the end that at the earliest prac
ticable moment peace may be restored on
the basis of the Federal U nion of the States
3. That the direct interference OF the
military authorities Of the United States in
the recent elections held in Maryland, Mis-
souri,, Kentucky and Delaware, was a
shameful violation of the Constitution and
a repetition of such acts in the approaching
election will be held as revolutionary. and
resisted with all the means and power under
our control.
4. That the aim and object of the Dem
ocratic party are to preserve the Fede raj
Union and the rights of the States unim-
paired; and they hereby declare that they
consider the administrative usurpation Of
extraordinary and dangerous powers not
granted by the Constitutlon-the subver-
sion of the civil by the military law in States
not in instruction; the arbitrary military
arrest, imprisonment, trial and sentence Of
American citizens in States where civil law
exists in full force; the suppression of the
freedom of speech and of the press; the de-
NAL of the right Of asylum; the open aud
avowed disregard of State rights: the en-
ployment Of unusual test oaths; and inter
ferance with aud denial of the right of the
people to bear arms in their defense, is cal
culated to prevent the restoration Of the
Union and the perpetuation Of a govern
msnt deriving its just powers from the con-
sent Of the governed.
5. That the sham eful disregard by the
Administration of its duty, in respect to our
fellow citizens who are now, and long have
been, prisoners OF war in a suffering condi-
ton, deserves the ssverest reprobation on
the score alike of public policy and COM
mon humanity.
6. That the sympathy Of the Democratic
party is heartily aud earnestly extended, to
the soldiers OF our army, who are, and have
been, in the field under the flag of their
country; and, in the event of its attaining
power, they will receive all the care, protec
ton and regard that the brave soldiers Of
the Republic have so noblv eerned.

OFFICIAL WAR BULLETIN.

WAR DEPARTMENT, WAsHINGToN. Sep. 4
| To Maior-Genl. Dix;
Sherman's official report ofthe capture OF
Atlanta has just been received, dated &c
miles south of Atlanta at o'clsck yester-
| day morning having been detain ed by the
breaking of the telegraph lines, as already
reported.
Our army withdrew from about Atlanta,
and on the 30th made a break on the East
port road, and reached good position from
which TO strike the Macon road. Howard
was on the right, near JoneSboro, Schoefeld
on the left, near Rough and Ready. How
ard found the enemy in force at Jonesboro,
and intrenched 6his troops within half a
him at P. NJ and was easily repulsed
leaving his dead and wounded.
Finding strong opposition on the road.
advanced the left and center rapidly to the
railroad, and made a good lodgm ent, and
broke it all the way from Rough and Ready
dowu to Towards left near Jonesboro, and
by the same movement l ipterposed my
whole army between Atlanta and that part
of the enemy intrenched in and around
Jonesboro.
On the Ist we made an attack on the en-
envy at Jonesboro, the 18th Corps, Gen. j.
G. Davis, carrying the works, and capturing
ten guns and ZOO prisoners. The enemy
retreAted south, and we have followed him
to his hastily constructed lines, near Love
joys Station.
Hood, finding me Oh the only road that
could supply him, and between him and a
consid part OF his army, blew up th e
magazine in Atlanta and left in the night.
The Goth Corps, General Slocum, took
possession of the city, SO Atlanta is ours,
and fairly won.
Since the 9Th of May we have been in
one constant battle or skirmish, and we
need rest. Our losses won't exceed 1 200,
and we have over 300 rebel dead, ESQ
wounded, and over ]. 500 prisoners.
[Signed] w. T. SHERMAN.
A later dispatch from Gen. Siocum, dated |
on the night of the Sd. at Atlanta, says the
enemy destroyed z locomotives and 81 cars,
loaded with ammunition, small arms and |
stores. and left IA pieces of artillery mostly |
and a large number of small
arms. TSigneG1 E. NJ. STANTON,
Secretary of War.

TIE NEXT PRESIDENT.

We place at the head of our columns the
names of GEN. GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN and
the Hon. GEORGE. 81. PENDLEToN, who were
selected by the late National democratic
Convention at Chicago, as the candidates
fer President and Vice President of the
United States. While Gen. MCCLELLAN
was net our first choice for the important and
responsible position to which be is inevitably
destined to be called by the enthusiastic
voice of his countrymsn, and there were
several other gentlemen before the Conven-
ton whose aDtecedents made them prefer
able to US, we shall nevertheless sup
port him with the utmost zeal and cordiali-
ty, and SC will the united democracy of
Kentucky. Both he and Mr.. PENDLEToN
are men of education, experience and ability
and have been lifelong democrats. They
have the confidence of the people, and with
the favor Of God, and the patriotic support
of their countrym will be elected by the
largest majorities ever given to presidential
candidates, since the days of Washington.
The Convention by which these dis
tiDguished gentlemen were selected, is con-
coded upon all hands to have been the
largest ever assembled on this continent,
and we may add, was more distinguished
for the intelligence, ability and patriotic
earnestness of its members than any which
has ever proceeded it. The nominations
were made with great unanimity and en-
thusiasm, and have been received by the
country with that earnest cordiality which
betokens glorious success.
1t is manifest from the spirit of the whole
proceedings, the resolutions adopted by the
Convention, and the utterances of all the
orators who spoke during its deliberations,
that the one determined purpose of the men
who composed that body, was the defeat of
the present men in power and consequent
restoration of peace to the country. It was
emPhatically peace convention-its men,
bers and its candidates are all for peace
and peace will be the sure result of its &C
ton.
-. Already are such maduen as Brough and
Schenck, and their fanatical followers,
snufing danger to their bloody purposes in
the tainted breeze and denouncing General
NJ cCLELLAE and the convention as com =
mitted to a dishonorable peace. We say,
let the heather rage. If they are willing to
make that issue with Gen. MCCLELLAN, he
and his friends will take up the glove, meet
the issue with aIacrity, and then, may God
defend the right.

Presidential Electors in Kentucky

The delegates of the Conservative Union
party ,'having united with tho delegates of
the democratic party from Kentucky, and
been admitted into the Chicago Convention,
that party will now cooperate with the
democracy in an earnest effort to give Nc
Clellah and Pendleton a glorious majority
in the State. The cordial and united votes
of the two parties, will give the democratic
candidates majority, we sincerely believe,
in every county in the State. There must
however, be but one set of Electors, and the
Executive Committees of the two parties,
will no doubt imm ediately make arrange
ments by which this result will be accom-
plished. Let them select the most enlighten-
ed, the most talented and best speakers for
this purpose and set them forthwith to work.

THE Coming TAxATIoN-The Newark
Advocate remarks that the manner in
which the subject of War Taxes is common
ly spoken of has led many to suppose that
their taxes are already quite as high as they
are likely to become. This is a delusion
which it is as we'll were cleared away at
once. No tar levied on real estate By Con-
grtss, has get been paid. For tbs purpose Of
keeping the people quiet until after the
Preside entail election, Congress carefully de-
ferred the assessment of Land Tax till the
year 1865. In the meantime, they are run
ming 1.-THE Government on money derived
from incomes and licences, but mainly from
bonds and greenbacks which. if ever re-
deemed will be paid out Of the Land Tax to
be collected regularly after the present year.
1t would have been much easier plan to the
Farm srs to have paid at the time what was
properly due in each of the three past years.
But this did not suit the trickery purposes
of Congress. They considered it Lecessary
to keep it back until after they could elect
another President, and for this reason the
farmers have as yet paid no part of the
Federal war tax resting like mortgage on
their lands.-Holmes County Farmer.
