We have before Us copy OF a leading
republican Journal, which prefers some
other member Of its party to Mr.. Lincoln
for President and as the arguments which
II advances are cogcnt ones, we reproduce
them. They are as follows:
l,t. The present administrators OF the
national authority are most odious to large
party at the North and the Southern pco
pie nrc 50 e,nbt.crei against Mr.. Lincoln
that they will yield to his rule only in the
last extremity. For this reason, the repub-
lcan journal from which we quote, thinks
that rs no princ.pis requires Mr. Lincoln )
reelection, iii is an Obvious suggestion Of
prudence to make the effort to present the
national authority in an aspect less Often
sive to the deludcd followers of JEFF. Da-
Wis" To elect Mr. Lincoln, il adds, as
only to play into the hands Of the rebel
lea Ter bv rem icrins il more easy for them
to maintain their asccndancy over their
people.
I'd Noticing the argument Of resolI-
toa Of the Pennsylvania Republican 5tatc
Convention, that until the rebellion is put
down, or at least until its armed force and
vigor are broken, there should be no change
in the administration, the reply Of our re-
publican contemporary is as follows: II
the continued existence Of the rebellion is
good reason for rejoicing Mr. Lincoln
for secont term, it will DC an equally
sound one for giving him TART term, it,
four years hence, the rebellion is still rag
ing. And it pointcdly adds tina. the rebel
lion certainly win rage four years hence,
. i. the people :src unwisc cnoug., to trust
the repression Of it any longer to the man
who has 50 ANONYMOUSLY failed in the
work herctofore.'
id Our republican contemporary de-
clares lis conviction that the plan of the ad-
minlstratlon has been rot u close the roi.
until Mr. Lincoln's reelection was secured.
II says he has told capital story i!lustrat-
ing thu folly of swapping horse, in the mid
die Of rapid river and he thinks il is his
purpose to keep the netion Laundering in
the water till November is PASSED
4th. Finally, our pungcnt republican
friend announces that il holds to the opjn
ion that the pro,raction of the war to the
present time, INSTEAD of being reason
for Mr.. Lincoln reelection. is Il most CO.
gent one against it," 1t is precisely be-
cause. it SAYS, after calling out three mill
ions of men, and spending three thousand
millions of dollars, now, in the fourth wear

MEssRs. PERKINS 1t is indeed truly
strange that mankind do not learn and i'm
prove from experience and from things they
sutftr-but will go it SO blind they won't see.
1t would seem that person capable of know
ing summer from winter or heat from cold,
that in following the footsteps of another
and see him fall into ditch or some more
miserable condition would stop and consider
the end and the result. But no. Strange as
it is many follow on and fall even lower and
deeper and become more helpless and miser
able than these they follow. Do we not
know Of cases--yea, do we not see them dai
ly of this blind following the road to ruin
through beer and strong drinks? | say it
is strange that any should do so-but that
boys and young men should enter that sure
and descending grade that leads to misery
and crime and ends in the gutter or galiows,
is the strangeSt Of all. We know there are
some mean enough to lead on the young and
unsuspccting- but that the youth and young
men do follow so blindly is to Inc a subject
of wonder and amazement- Of pity and
heartfelt sorrow. 1t would seem that with
out thought or reflection without any good
sense or excuse they are determined to make
themselves miserable and cause their friends
and relatives useless pain and anxiety
Strange it is that those that have eyes sec
not-have ears and hear not; but il spite of
both are so madly bent on selfdestruction.
Would to God this was a fancy picture, but
it is Mott is sober reality-a solemn fact.
To any rejecting mind, this strange state OF
things forces out the expression /" thou fool
why will you let the Devil steal thy brains
and become such miserable tool Of bis -
We would spare the names-but the fact ex-
lists and while men are found to set the ex-
ample, boys, until they learn more wisdom
will be sure to follow. And now while

who may read them, and while | have no
other than the kindest feeling # friendship
/ for all such, Ipo,o some will reri,s rather

We have bad news from our forces pursu,
ing the Maryland invaders. They met the
rebels in battle on Saturday, near VIM
chester, and were repulsed and compelled TO
fall back to Harper's Ferry. We have no
particulars. There are many rumors, but
nothing is definitely known, except that
Hunters troops have met with serious re-
rebel invasion of Maryland, but probably all
it amounts to is, that the enemy has retraced
his steps and made feint of another raid
for the purpose Of covering his plumber,
which was likely to fall into our hands.

Our SOLDIER BoYs.-We shall all Of US
await with anxious and fearful hearts for in
telligence from our brave boys in Shcrman's
army The 18th and 18th army corps, in
which this portion of the State is largely
represented, both did heavy lighting, and it
is mentioned in the dispatches that the 18th
suffered severely. An account Of tho great
battle on Friday says: ......
"The rebels holding the largest part of
the city, assaulted our works on that day
with great fairy, evidently expecting to drive
our forces out of the city. The 18th corps,
commanded by Gen. Frank Blair, seemed to
be the special object of rebel wrath, as they
nlassed against it in overwhelming force.
The 18th received the shock calamity and
held its own unit! Gen. Dodge, with the 10Th
corps, came up, when the rebels were hurled
back with great slaughter.
Gen. Logan. at the head of the 18th corps,
went into the battle with the rallyng cry OF
Remember Mcpherson" This corps, as
we'll as Glair's, both constituting the army
under Maj Gen. Mcpherson, fought dcsper.
ately, the news of the death OF their brave
commander having been communicated to
them just before going into battle"

The New Hampton Courier says Of Hon.
C. c. Cole, the Union candidate for Supreme
Judge, there is not "any dist.ust Of his 10y
atty or legal attainments," and in another
article adds, it is not so much an objection
against Mr.. C. personally, asst is prcmedit
atcd insult to the North part Of the State" 1t
does not look as though the North part Of
the State considered his nomination "pre.
meditated insult" when every county in the
Northern part o. the State, with the oXcep-
ton of two, argued and voted in favor of
his nomination. Men do not generally work
to heap insult on their own heads. Judge
Cole has the approval and support Of the
greater portion of our electors, and we will
certainly give him a ronsing majority on
election day.

IL an article last week, defending Hon. W.
|. G lchrist's course in the State Convention
against an unjust attack from the Elkader
Journal, we carried the impression that Clay
ton County had instructed its delegates not
to vote for Cole for Supreme Judge. We
since learn, however, that the Clayton Co.
Convention did nothing OF the kind. There
were only two resolutions adopted, one en-
dorsing the Baltimore nominations, and the
other empowering the delegates present at
the State Convention to cast the full vote Of
Clayton Co. So it appears it was left entire,
ly optiOna. with the delegation to vote Cor
whom they saw fit, and Mr.. Gilchrist in
nominating Judge Cole did not prove false
to his constituents, as the journal charges.
Mr.. G. knew what he was about when he
placed Judge Cole in nomination, and a ma.
.jority of the voters Of his own County will
sustain his action.

In the fierce rebel attack on Shcrman's
army on Wednesday o. last week, Maj. Gen.
Mcpherson, our youngest and yet one of our
bravest and most accomplished officers, was
killed. He was in the advance, and becom-

and shot by arebel sharpshooter. In his
death Gen. Sherman has lost one of his most
valuable aids, and one whose loss he can lily
afford to bear.

THE STysUGELE FOR ATLANTA,

Last week there was desperate fighting for
the possession of Atlanta. Though it has
been reported that the city was in our hands,
this does not seem to be the case by last ac-
counts. Sherman holds the outer line of
defenses, and portion OF the city limits, and
had got siege guns into position, whereby he
could render the part still held by the enemy
untenablc, and compel him to Withdraw
There is hardly doubt but that our forces
occupy the place ere this. Gen. Johnston
was removed from the command Of the rebel
army because he would not assume the often
sive, and Gen. Hood appointed to the place
Under the latter the rebel army has made
repeated and desperate efforts to beat back
Sherman, but has been repulsed in every at
tack with fearful slaughter. Since Hood took
command the rebels have lost over 10000
men, while our loss is less than 1900 The
Chicago Tribune says:
A blow has been struck in Georgia under
which the rebel cause in that region reels to
its overthrow. Pressing forward beyond the
Chattahoochee, Gen. Sherman threw out his
tanks and gave the enemy the choice either
to fight for the possession Of Atlanta, to be
! penncd up therein for an inevitable surren-
der en- masse, or TO retreat. Under a new
and not very competent commander, the reb.
els accepted the former alternative, and our
| forces on the afternoon Of Wednesday, the
Goth inst, were met by most desperate and
bloody assault, commencing on Towards
left wing, and extending along our whole
line. The foe, desperate with the extremity
Of their peril, fought like wild beasts, and
| their high piled dead in front Of our staunch
! lines attested bravery in the assault, and a
heroisn in the resistance, neither ever cx-
cecdcd in the history Of this war. At night
fall the foe suddenly retired, having failed to
break our lines, though with loss of over
5000 in killed, wounded and missing. This
success carried our whole army forward, and
with light diminishing on Thursday, the
rebels Withdrew themselves into the works
about Atlanta.
! On Friday, the ring of fire having narrow
| ly closed in upon them, the rebels made yet
another fran,ical!y desperate attempt to turn
the advantage against us, and the left wing,
. led by the lamcntcd Mcpherson, received a
terrific onset from a lnassed force OF the enc.
my. SO fierce was the assault that our line
ence wayered but the noble boys Of Logan $
and Blair's corps Q5th and lTth) rallied aud
beat back the foe with heavy loss, driving
the struggle sil the hero Mcpherson. At two
O'clock on Friday afternoon the advance Of
our army entered Atlanta.

- Thus it appears that the Government is
willing to receive any propositions looking
to peace, which may come through the
proper channel, only specifying that the
cause of the war shall be abandoned. Loyal
men will approve this. The cause Of the
present rebellion must be eXtllpated so that
in THE future it cannot be the cause of an,
other bitter civil war; and as for the North
saddng the war debt Of the seeded States
that is too prepos.crous to receive serious al
ten;ion single moment.
