Between and O'Clock P. NJ. a rapid
advance of these two corps was ordered
They advanced so far to the right as to be
out Of range of the rebel batteries. They
had hanked the enemy, being on his right
! flank and rear. The line was then formed
with General Crooks cannon on the right
and Getty's division Of the 6th' corps, on
the centre, while ths Sd division of that
corps formed the left, the western division
was held in reserve
In this order they advanced upon the
enemy's works, and after several briliisnt
charges up the steep side hills, and through
woods and open fields, the rebels were
driven back into their entrenehments, and
in spite of the furious fusilade of the In
fantry, and the shot and shell Of the Ar
tillery, the position was carried at the
point Of the bayOnet. When the enemy
discovered that he was Aanked and beset
in his lair so ingIoriously, he fed with the
utmost precipitation, leaving muskets, can

The 9th corps captured two battle flags
and Crooks division two more.
Sixteen pieces Of cannon were captured

they did not arrive in time to take any
very prominent part in the engagement.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2
The steamer Peruvian passed Farther
Point this morning, from Liverpool at 2:3O
P. N. on the 22d.
The latest American advices were re-
garded as so favorable for the North that
the Confederate loan declined one-quarter
less than nine per cent. in one week.
The Times editorial criticising the plat
form of the two parties, regards them
identical, except that one is turned upside
down. Lincoln cannot forego union, and
so must keep on fighting, but will make
peacei If the Union is preserved as uncon-
ditionally as anybody. Mcclellan cannot
forego Union, but, instead of carrying on
the war, he puts peace experiments first,
and reserves fighting for afterwards.
The Times thinks that nation, after
enjoying respite from war, and the lasting
blessing of peace once more, may gradu-
ally become resolved on retaining those
blessings, nearly at the expense of what
would now be thought impossible. -
The Danish deputation sent an official
to the North Dutch Allegiance, stating
that their intention of extending an ar
mistice has been abandoned, concerning
the protection of peace negotiations, on
the part of Denmark 1t not having been
without influence on that point
In fact, the political situation in Copen
hagen has assumed peculiar character,
not only do Swedish papers eyince inthe
most pointed manner Scandinavian ten
denotes, but even Copenhagen Journals
openly svow sentiments favorable to a
formation of the scandinavian Dynasty,
instead of reorganizing. They attack the
stipulations of peace. Preliminaries are
quite intelligable that the great German
Powers should adhear strictly to the
paragraph of the protocol of armistiee
whereby hostili ties can be resumed any
time within month.

IMPORTANCE OF ATLANTA-Atlanta has
been the very heart of the Confederacy, where
four great railroads entered it like the great
arteries and veins, and along which passed to
and fro, like the blood of the human system,
the supporting materials of the Confederate
life. Provisions, forage, armament and men
flowed through these avenues to North to
or South, East or West, as circumstances call
ed. When Lee sent $4,000 men from
Virginia to aid Bragg, and which reinforce
ment won for him the first battle at Chattan-

At a Copperhead meeting in Illinois. after
the big guns had exploded. the Cops. called
on young soldier of known loyalty to make
speech-thinking TO have some some fun
out of him. He made few briefremarks as
follows which we find in the Cincinnati Ga
zette:

you that there is no man in tie nation who
desires peace more than do, a permanent.
lasting peace. Cheers. And, gentlemen,
l will tell you how we will get it. Fight this
war out. Take every negro in the rebel
States and exterminats every d---d rebel.

for am an old soldier and have faced almost
as mean a looking crowd as is now before me.

make aspeech out Of derision, and | intend
to tell you what think of you When God
said he would save Sodom if one righteous
man could be found there, 1 have no doubt
he would have done it, and to-day, if you all
stood upon the brink of hell, and he were to
say that he would save you if one loyal man
could be found among you. fhave not the least
doubt but that there would be a great many
strange faces in hell for supper.
l Will tell you sopething more before
leave you. The Baltimore Convention has
nominated Abraham Lincoln and Andrew
johnson, and we intend to elect them and
end the war, too. We will subjugate every
internal rebel in the country, no matter wheth-
er North or South, for when the armed reb-
m nnr frnv Al 1 u
diers who have been through the Southern
Contederacy will come home and walk right
