Especial Dispatch to Tho Chicago Timea.l
Ounce, H., Saturday, Aug. 13.-There
was grest Democtstfc mass meeting at Mt,
Sterling, Brown county. today. The meet
ipg WIS addressed b bon; l.: ": Ross, Hon.
P&erta resolutions aoe,e fully indorsed. The
delegates to the State Convention were In.
structed II vote for Gen. Singleton for Cor.
ernor. There waa an immense crowd and
great enthusiasm.
What gives significance to the aboye dis
patch is the fact that Gen. Singleton ia the
author Of the SD Of June resolutions Of the
State Copperhead Convention, declaring
ag4inst the further prosecution Of the war,
and in behalf Of disunion peace. He was
also the master spirit ut the o. A. &. (Order
Of American Knights) meeting at Peoria a
few days ago, when q dfsunioa peace was
openly adEocatcdA~ Singleton, in private
conyerfatieD, makes no disguise Of his
views to1ehipg thewar. He is openly for
peace gra1 ting the Independence Of the reb::
els, rather than continuance Of the war. He
says that the only thing that both.rs him is
where the boundary line should be drawn
whether the Ohio river aad Mason aud Di1.
on's line, or tie old National Road extended
to Quincy, should be the line OF demarca.
tion. Singleton is star of the first magni-
tude In the 0. 4. Z. trm2ment.
E Besides the two great army operations
before Petersburg xnd Atlanta there are three
smaller enterprises at this moment in pro-
grees. First, the movement OF Gen. she1i.
dan in the Shenandoah valley, having for is
object the driving back to Lynchburg of the
rebel forces under Early and Breckinridge,
which lately Invaded Maryland, beseiged
Washington, scared Halleck and burned
Chambereburg. Second, Admiral Fsrraguts
movement against Mobile which has opened
go brilliantly. 1t is said that Gen Granger
il cooperating with land forces. This tn
terprise Is IS good IS q considerable reinforce
ment to sheruan's army, as 1t will employ
large number Of rebels to epmbat it. Third
second expedition under Gen 4. J. Smith,
who has marched against the rebel array now
or lately under Forrest. The obje.t Of this
expedition Is not only to keep the enemy ont
OF Western Tennessee, but TO operate in
Northern Mississippi and Alabama and pre-
ve1t Forrest and Rhoddy's men from cuttipg
Snerman's communications bet tTeen Chatta-
nooga and Atlanta Smith says he is going
to "etay" With the rebels this time, and that
ary country which can support them can also
support his troops. There il fair prospect
that each Of these three movements will
