But surely II cannot be The opinion Of men

such monstrous purposes can in any way
coaddce TO the quiet and peace Of the Ma
tion, or the perpstuity Of our institutions.
II there any man, indeed, who has Wit
enough to read, that does not perceive that
These avowsd projects lead inevitable to
universal anarchy, and destroy 1t once the
possibility Of democratic institutions II
the Democracy has right to revolution

November election. will not those who vote
against them have the same right in case
they do not carry it. II the thing il justi-
fable among men Of one opinion, il it not
equally 20 among men Of any opinion!
Does It not follow that elections would be
but farce-that the question would not
turn upon which side has the most votes,
but which could exert the most violence?
We think it must be plain to every man
that our only saSety-the only. possible
mode Of sustaining Republican form Of
Government, is to crush ont at once and
forever all factions and parties which nd.
wise an appeal from ballots to bullets. It
II plain that the men who counsel such
conduct are neither democrat, republicans
or patriots. They are simply traitors and
would-be tyrants. They arc the enemies
Of ~ al, no matter what apology they pre-
tend to find for their atrocious desiRn.
The rebels told m four years aeo that
they would not submit to any rule but
their own. Now the Copperheads, through
their leaders, proclaim thesame determines
tion. The issue 10 bsfors the people. II
they want an elective government, they
must see to 1t that their voice Is not tram
pied under foot by evolstiomssts.
~ The New York Ne,cs, the yilest
rebel sheet in the country, declares that il
accepts the platform adopted by the Con.
vention (Chicago) as . great triumph for
the peace party" It declares that the
preparations for an armistice and Cen.
vention afe its own and that they have
now been sanctioned by the ''Democracyr,
That IL precisely the fact. The platform

which is the same thing, the rebels and

There il nothing in It but treason to the

aThe Copperheads at Chicago had moi
one word Of cheer for tho noble conduct Of
Farragut in capturing the Forts that kept
guard at the entrance to Mobile Bay. Not
q single word. Nor in all they said, did
they ever affect to rejoice over any ct our
past victories, by sea or land, at any time
during the war. That was consistent. II
was aconfession that they had no part In the
glorious deeds Of the past, and claimed
none in those yet to be performed they
are opposed to the war. OF course they
cannot rejoice in the honors achieved "
our gallant defenders. They are consist
emit, it IL true; but how does their censis-
tercy damn them with everlasting infamy!

~A letter from an officer on board the
Niagara, dated August 10th, OF the coast
Of France, states that the rebel pirate Geor-
gia was captured OF Lisbon ON the 18th,
and that she had been sent to Boston, which
port it was supposed she would reach
arrival at that port, nor Of any particulars
of the capture. We infer, however, from
dispatches we had two or three days since,
that there was an attempted transfer of the
Georgia in an English port, and that 1t had
sailed for Portugal under it. The seizure
of the ship, if we are correct, was made on
the ground that the transfer was UNLAWFUL
and the vessel was still liable for its past
ravages on our commerce, ~ matter who
prossssed to own her, e5arfoer what flag
she was sailing. ri. 80

- The idea Of the Chicago platform
seems to be that 'sUncle Sam is dead, and
the Cepperheads desire Jeff. Davis to ad.
minister upon his estate. II the idea be

LOUISVILLE, Sept Sin answer to
a request that Major General Sherman
would give us the details OF the late
operations before Atlanta, in order to
silence the cuvils OF those who, in the
absence of the particulars, Were deny
ing that those operations were on the
whole Union success, we have re.
ceived the following:
ATLANTA, Sept. 7.-On the 9jth Of
August pursuant to plan Of which
the War Department had been fully
advised, l lett the Goth Corps at the
Chattahooche Bridge, and, with the
balance of the army, drew OF from
the siege, and using some considerable
artifce to mislcad the enemy. / moved
rapidly south. and reached the West
Point Railroad, near Fairborn, on the
9Th, and broke up twelve miles Of IT..
Then moving Fast, my right ap
preached the Macon Railroad near
Jonesboro, and my left near Rough

right wing, army OF the Tennessee),
and was completely beaten. On the
3lst, and during the combat, | pushed
the left of the center rapidly on the
railroad above, between Rough and
Ready and Jonesboro. On the LIST Of
September we broke up about eight
miles of the Macon Road, and turned
on the enemy at Jonesboro, assaulted
him and his lines and carried them,
capturing Brig, Gen. Gowan and about
two thousand prisoners and eight guns
and much pluhdct. Night alone pre-
vented us capturing all Of Hardee's
corps, which escaped south that night.
That same night, Hood in Atlanta,
finding all his railroads broken or in
our possession, blew up his ammuni-
ton, seven locomotives and eighty
cars, and evacuated Atlanta which oD
the next day September 2d) was oc-
cupied by the corps left for that pur-
pose, Major General Slocum command
ing. We followed the retreating rebel
army to near Lovejoy's station, thirty
miles south Of Atlanta, when finding
him strongly entrenchcd, l concluded
it would not pay to assault as we
had already had the great object

the guns which Sherman had 50 care
fully placed in position began to
speak. The deadly effect on the enc.
my was apparent. While Sherman
was still managing the artillery,
Major Sanger, staff officer, called
his attention 10 the fact that the en-
cmy's cavalry were charging tow-
ards the battcry-"Order up those
two companies of infantry" was the
quick reply; and the General coolly
went on with his guns The caval-
ry made gallant charge, but their
horses carried back empty saddles.
The enemy was evidently foiled.-
Our men, gaining fresh courage, raj

that day the enemy was held stub.

and he fell back over the piles Of
his dead and wounded.

No mortal but herself can tell.
And she was weak and sin Is strong;
Yet still, she had not come so low,
But for the secret treachery

While iearfu.ly assailed without,
Her unsuspecting heart within
Turned traitor to her soul, and made
An awful covenant with sin.
Yet when that weak and shrinking heart
Before her conscience stood reproyed,

Said, "a have sinned, hut have loved !"
Then Judgment, weighing evidence,
Pronounced the sentence in reply;
