CoUDERsPoRT, Sept II, 1864
GENTLEMEN Your letter informing
me Of my nomination by the Union-parry
Conforeos of the 18th Congressional Dis
trict of Pennsylvania, assembled at Will
iamsport On the 8th inst, as their candi-
date for Congress, was received this
morning. 7 hereby tender my thanks to
the ConGetees for their kind Partially in
corfering upon me the unsought for, and
unexpected honor Of said nomination.
You further notify me in your letter, that
the Conferees from Tioga county refused
to participate in the Conference, because
Of inability to reconcile their claims with
the wishes of majority Of the Conferees
Of the other counties composing the dis
trict The course pursued by the Con
ferees of Tioga county evidences the fact
that there was not that unanimity pre-
vailing which is necessary to secure the
election of Union candidate in the dis
trict-a result SO extremely important at
this time. Disafection OF our friends in
either of The oouties, to any considerable
extent, would ondanCer, if not render
defeat certain. 10 avoid calamity Of
this kind, every loyal man in the district
should put forth his energies to avert.
The efforts Of the Administration to crush
the rebellion AID preserve the Union,
must be supported and strengthened by
the election Of true and logal men to pre-
side ia our National councils. Individual
ambition and local preferences must yield
to this end. Every reasonable concession
should be made rather than allow cur
enomioB or the enemies Of the Government
to succeed at the polls. Should [, in any
manner be instrumental in causing the
election of q Copperhead TO represent US,
my conscience would condemn me-
Hoping that harmony may be restored,
and a candidate selected, in favor Of whom
We can all unite cheerfully, I decline the
nomination, and refer the question back
to the Conforoes Of the district.
In adopting this course do not in any
manner recognize the proprlety Of the
action Of the Tioga delegates. Coaven-
tions or Conferences, are mere idle oare-
monies if the prigoiple they adopted at
your meeting is correct.
Respectfully, ISAAC BENSON,

West Point railroad, near Falrborn, on
the 9th, and broke up twelve miles Of it
when moving east my right approached
the Macon railroad, near Jonesboro, and
my left near Rough and ready.
The enemy attacked the right wing Of
the army of the Tennessee, and was COM
pletely beaten on the 1st, and during the
contest I pushed the left Of the center
rapidly on the railroad, above and between
Rough and Ready and Jonesboro. On
the 1st Of September we broke up about
eight miles Of the Macon road, and
turned on the enemy at Jonesboro, as
saulted MIN and his line, and carried them
capturing Brig. Gen. German and
about 1900 prisoners, with 8 guns and
mucn plunder.
Night alone prevented our capturing
all Of Hardoe's corps; escaped south that
night.
