NORTHERN SAcRIFIcEs.-In his speech at
the Metropolitan Fair opening, Gen. Dix
happily contrasted the free sacrifices of the
North with the enforced giving of the South,
which foreigners delight 10 represent as a
willing tribute. He said:
This is indeed one of the distinguished
characteristics of the struggle on our side,
and it shows with what intensity the public
feeling is enlisted in it. 1t is popularity
which has marked no former contest. And
while states, countries and towns, with us,
are imposing upon themselves taxes enormous
in amount, to raise troops, the rebel govern
ment in Richmond is supporting its armies
through forced contributions from the south
ern people, under a system of tyranny which
has already become odious, and is every
moment in danger of defeating itself by pro-
yoking armed resistance.

TWO FEDERAL GUNBoArs CAPTURED

us details OF the late operations before Atlanta
in order to silence tho cavi o! these who in the
absence o: particulars, we're DENYING that these
operations were, on the whole Federal sue

Dartment bad been fully advised. | left the Goth
corps at the Chattahoochie bridge. and. with the
army, / drew off from the seige and, using some
considerable artfce to mIslead the enemy, |
moved rapidly South. and reached the best point
on the railroad, near Fair born on the 9th and
broke up twelve miles OF il, then moving east,

the right wing of the armv of the Tennessee and
was completely beaten On the 3lst and during
the combat pushed the left and centre rapidly
OH the railroad above, between Rough and Ready
and J0nesborO On the lst of September We
broke up about eight miles of the Macon road
and turned on the enemy at JonesbOro. assaulted
him in his lines and carried them, capturing Gen
Gowan and about 2 900 prisoners with guns
and much plumber Night alone prevented our
capturing all of -Hardees corps which escaped
south that night.
That same night Hood. in Atlanta. finding all
MS railways broken or IN our possession, blew NJ
his ammunition. seven locomotives and eighty
cars, and evacuated Atlanta. which on the next
day Sept %. was occupied by the corps left for
that purpose. Major General Slocum command
ing.
We followed the retreating rebel army to near
Loveioy's Station. 30 miles south Of Atlanta
where, finding him strongly entrenched | con
cluded it would not pay TO assault as had al
ready gained the great object OF the campaign.
viz: Atlanta.
Accordingly the army gradually and lesurely
returned to Atlanta and it is now camped eight
miles south of the city. and tomorrow will
move to the camps appointed.
| am now writing in Atlanta, so could not
be uneasy in regard to our situation
We have. as the result of this quick, and, as
think, well executed movement. twenty seven
guns, over three thousand prisoners, have buried
over four hundred rebel dead and left as many
wounded that could rot be renewed.
The rebels have lost, besides the important
city of Atlanta stores. at least 500 dead 9, 500
wounded, and 1900 prisoners.
Our aggregate loss will not foot up 500.
If that is not a success don't know what is

At O'Clock the committee left the hotel and
proceeded in carriages the mansion of Gen.

After the ceremony of introduction and a
brief interview, the committee presented to Gen
Mcclellan a copy of the proceedings of the Chi
cago Convention and letter advising him of his
nomination.
The General accepted the nomination, and his
letter to that effect will probably be formally
presented TO the committee this evening
Besides the committee a large number Of gen
tlemen visited General Mcclellan to day, among
whom were August Belmont, Peter Cogger,
Dean Richmond and others.
MCLELLAN's REPLY TO THE COMMITTEE
ORANGE. n. j., September s.
GENTLEMEN: have the honor TO acknowledge
the receipt of your letter informing me OF my
nomination bv the Den ocratic National Conven-
tien recently assembled at Chicago, as the can
didate at the next election for the Presidency of
the United States. IL is unnecessary for me to
say TO YOU that Ibis nomination comes TO me un-
sought.
am happy 10 know tnat wnen the nomination
was made the record of my public life kept
in view, the effect of long and varied service in
the army discerning war and peace has been to
strengthen and make audible in my mind aud
heart the love and reverence for the Union, Con
stitution, laws and flag of our country impressed
upon me in early youth.
These feelings have thus far guided the course
Of my life and must continue to do so until its
end. The existence of more than one Govern
ment over the region which once owned our flag
is incompatible with the peace. the power and
the happiness of the people. The preservation
of our Union the sole avowed object for
which the war was commenced. 1t should have
been conducted for that object only and in &C
cordance with those principles which took &C.
casion to declare when in active service Thus
conducted the work of Cancellation would have
been easy
