The Atlanta Confedercy, of July 10th, in
an article discussing the military situation
expresses the following opinion as to what
would be the effect of the fall of that city
which will be read at the present time with
interest:
Strategically, the possession of the city
would not be of so much advantage to the
Federals as in its moral effect upon the
northern populace. Its fall would be equiv
alent to fifty thousand fresh recruits from
the Northern States, while it would certain
ly have tendency to stimulate the war
spirit and re-kindle the fanatical enthusiasm
of the Yankee everywhere. Gold would
fall rapidlyin New York, and the political
prospects of Lincoln d johnson would rise
in proportion. Therefore we think the
Confederate authorities, approaching these
consequences, will not yield it without an
earnest dispute Of every avenue ofapproach
to the city.

RACES continue in northern Kansas People i'm
the western counties have been murdered, crops
destroyed and stock driven off Evidence ac-
cumulates that all or nearly ali, the tribes on
the Plains, are banded together for war. Gen.
Blunt has issued orders that no arms or ammu-
nation be sold TO them, and notified all officers
having authority over Indians to not allow them
to leave their reservations for the west; that
such act be taken as proof of hostility and treat
ed accordingly.
LeayenwOrth. Aug. 15.-The Atchison Press
has news from the Little Blue, that the Indians,
on Sunday last, commenced an indiscriminate
murder of the whites on that section ofthe stage
route.
1t is ascertained by reliable scouts that in
less than 20 days simultaneous attacks will be
made by the combind bands of Cheques, Kio-
was, Utes, Snakes, Gamanches and Arrapahoes
on Fort Kearney, Fort Cottonwood and along
the Platte Valley.
Every measure is being taken by the whites
to give them warm reception. All the ranches
are deserted, the proprietors with their families
taking refuge in the forts.

The poor man and those who cannot afford 10
hire substitute, should remember one fact, to-
wit: That the Union men Of the whole coun-
try are doing everything possible TO free their
districts from the draft, while the COpperheads
do little, and generally are hindering, byevery
possible means. Their papers have for two
years been 50 s0uring the minds of their follow
ers that none of them feel disposed to enlist
Thus are they making draft inevitable, and
thus involving the poor, while the Unionists
are attempting TO relieve this class, by procur-
ing voluntary enlistments Who then, is the
enemy Of the poor man? Let the O0pperheads
znswer.-CiRcin'sGti Gazette,
The above is true of this town and Town
ship. An effort was made by the Union men
to raise by subscription the necessary amount
TO clear the Township from Draft. This only
required the small sum of $50 from each en-
rolled man. which would have paid bounty of
$500. To this the Township Trustees agreed
to add another 800 by issuing the bonds of the
Township to that amount This added to the
Government bounty would have paid each re,
cruit $400 for one year, $500 for two years. and
$500 for three years. Bnt only three or four
Democrats could be found willing TO subscribe
TINS Small plttdhce-Sohe saying Iiat Iney
wanted TO ''see the Draft, some that 'sthere
was not power enough in the Government to
enforce the Draft" Others, ''that the Goyern-
ment dare not Draft, and many ''that if you
wanted the Township cleared from the Draft do
il yourselves. The Union men, of whom
large number had subscribed the requisite sum,
and many others stood ready to do so, threw
the whole thing up in disgust. They were not
willing that the Union party shouki furnish the
men and money both, to crush on. rebellion
that was conceived and inaugurated by the
Southern portion Of the Democratic party, and
aided and abetted by thousands Of Northern
traitors from the same party. They wisely con-
cluded.if tine Democrats were SO anxious to s'see
the Draft, that they should be gratifed, -
The Union men have deliberately made up
their minds 20 stand the draft, and if drafted
10 either go or furnish substitute,

We understand that quite number of the
Copperhead persuasion have left the county to
escape the Draft. Some are reported to have
gone to Canada while others are ON their wind
ing way to join the "Sons of Liberty" in Indi-
ana. The st. St.Cstharines Canada Journal, says:
in volume as the 5th of September approaches.
Every train and every avenue is full of "patri-
oticn Yankees seeking safety under the folds of
the British flag. Of course We like to see peo-
pie come TO Canada, but we could and do wish
that these men were actuated by better motives.
We believe in fighting for and with your coun-

Commanding Gunboat Squadron.
New York Aug: l5.-The Herald's official
Mobile correspondence says, when the Selma
surrendered to the Metacomet, on boarding her
it was found that she had lost fearfully. Her
deck was covered with dead and dying, and
her scuppers ran with blood. Her commander,
Lieut.. COmstock formerly of u. s. Navy, was
lying dead across the breech of a gun with his
bowels torn out. The Tennessee attempted to
avoid the monitors and made for the wooden
ships but the flag ship and the Monongahela
followed her up and the latter struck the Tenn
essee amidship with her terrible prov, causing
the huge rebel monster to reel like drunken
man.
The Hartford then grappled with the Tenn
essee, but further blOOdshed was saved by the
latter hosting the white flag.
The same horrible slaughter was visible here
as ON the Selma. Captain Girard now commands
the captured ram.
We captured nearly three hundred prisoners
Our army has possession of Dauphin Island
The Hartford is injured more than any 9TH
er ship.
A large force of our soldiers have marched
from Pensacola to invest Fort Morgan and pre-
vent the escape of the rebels.
Washington, Aug. l6.-Sec. Stanton in dis
patch to Gen. Dix says the government has re-
eeived an official report of the surrender of Fort
Gaines and the abandonment of Fort Powell
from Gen. Candy. Fort Gaines surrendered
Internationally, with Sc officers, 8l8 men, ar
mament of 26 guns and provisions for I2 months.
The garrison of Powell escaped. The arma
ment of the Fort Powell, of Is guns, is fit for
immediate use.
