The arrival ola negro regiment at
Catlettsburg, Kentucky, one day last week
was an 'eyc Sore to the not over ardent
Union men of that place. Many of them
protested that it was an outrage, looked
daggers, gathered in knots, aside, and vent
ed their range in half suppressed filings at
the GoverDment, and ABE Lincoln's hire
lings." Nothing could exceed their dis
gust for the white officers, who could so de-
base themselves as to act as ''nigger dri.

way. goes in on his nerve" was received
coldly, aud was treated with indifTerenc' :,
which, of course, made but little difference
to him.
In the course of the day, the Col. drop.

answers for headquarters, and there met
with, and was introduced to several military
gentlemen. The usual cordialty and pO-

good address and fine appearance, and f.
naUy consented to marry him, Before the
time fixed for the marriage, the young lady
heard something derogatory to his charac-

home. He discovered here intentions, and
meeting her on the street, determined to
hold her to her p,omise. Being afraid Of vi

man, when she forthwith scorned his pro

magistrate.

Vice President stephens Mission

10 the Eattor Of the Springfield (Mnss

Noticing the different comments of
the press in regard to the real mission of
Alex. I'll. Stephens, Vice President of the
rebellious States, bringing it up in reference
to the late peace negotiations at Niagra
Falls, l desire to give a simple statement,
which, no doubt, will put at rest the many
conjcctures and views taken by the people
and press of the North regarding the true
purport of that mission. While telegraph
operator in Richmond, Va, working the
principal through line South, sent mes
sage from Jefferson Davis to Stephens, If
Augusta, Ca, requiring his immediate pres
ence at Richmond, to attend a Cabinet
meeting, and desiring him to proceed upon
mission to Washington, if his health
would admit, with peace motive. Stephens
was to bear propositions looking to the re,
4 cognition of the Independence Of the Con
tederacy, but to propose other measures
which might tend tc consummate that OBJ.
ject. confdentially named upon his arrival
at Richmond. From these brief words you
i no doubt fully confrm your ideas that the

peace would be principally upon securing
their recognition. Z. ID. JACOBS,

From Atlantis.

NEW YoRK, July 81. The HeraIds spe-
cial dated Nashville Goth, says, Shermsn's
army Was again put IN molten yesterday to
accomplish an important operation looking
to an early investment OF Atlanta. The
enemy yesterday attempted to interrupt the
movement by attacking the 18th oorps but
we're badly repulsed during the contest. =
We took from the rebels several reeimental
flags. The public may rest assured that
everything has been successful. II appears
that Gen. Bragg came to Atlanta from
Richmond and at council Of war held for.
the purpose stated that Atlanta must and
should be bcld at all hazards. Johnston
replied that to do SO it required the sscriHcs
OF the whole army to which he would not
consent and therefore resigned. The COM
mand was then tendered'to Hardee who re:
fused to accept 1t on any terms and il was
given to Hood on the condition that he;
would defend the city to the last The rebels
are said to have constructed strong works at
Atlanta and it is not unlikely they nav
keep us at bay for afew days longer if they
remain in their present position, but even
if they do Hood can scarcely save the REM
nant OF his army. a r
! A letter from general officer on duty nc
the point describes the battle Of the 22d as
| being the severest fight ever had in the
West. We had at ths time, already
buried ECO rebels and had 1000 yet to
bury. ts
New Yonk; Aug. 1.-The Cha,tauoors

patch was received there on the day pre-
vious: .p'rl-,-1i
The battle on the 22d was very severe.
The enemy attacked seven times and as of.
ten were repulsed. Our total loss was g..

Of the enemy in killed was more than 5000
and we captured over 1000 prisoners, also
10 stand Of colors and 5000 stand Of arms
The total loss of the enemy ia killed
wounded and missing cannot fall short o

PEACE.

After three years and more Of bloody,
desolating war, there are few men who
would not hail the return Of peace with
"joy unspeakable, and who would
not bc willing to make sacrifices of
priceless value to attain so desirable a
result. The demagogues of the Cop
perhead party, seeking to take advan-
tage of this love of peace so extensively
prevalent, are rcsorting to all the tricks
of cunning and chicancry, to create the
impression that a peace, such as intel
ligent Americans could honorably ac-
ccpt, has been placed within the reach
Of our Government, and by those who
administer it rudcly and unceremo-
niously rejected. If this is true, if the
Administration has been offered peace
upon such terms as could be honorably
accepted, could be accepted without
sacrificing the unity Of tie Government,
or the principles of liberty which are
the foundation of all our greatness as
nation, and have rejected such offers,
coming from parties authorized to make
them, then, indeed, has Mr.. Lincoln
grievously erred, and forfeited the re-
spect and confidence of all good men.
The so-called Democratic journals,
in the face of the fact that every pro-
position offered for peace, based upon
II e-construction of the Union, has
been contemptuously rejected by the
leaders of the Rebellion, have constant
ly proclaimed, since the Southern wing
of their party raised the arm Of Rebel
lion against the Government, that such
apeace was attainablc; and since the
publication of the CORES pondence be.
tween Messrs. Clay and Holcombe on
the one side, and Hon. Horace Greeley
on the other, presuming upon the ig-
norance Of their readers, they boldly
assert that such proposition has been
made, and rejected by the Administra
tion.
These assertions, TO the intelligent
reader who is conversant with the truth
of history, and has read the declara.
tions of those who are leading and con
trolling the Rehellion---and more par
tlcularly the correspondence above re
ferred to---are known to be without
foundation In fact, and made designedly
90 deceive the crcdulous and unthink-
ing; and were not too many of the peo.
pie willing to take for truth, without
investigation, the declarations ofothers,
there would be no necessity for con-
tradlcting these assertions, or demon
strating their fallacy. But rs silence
Is frequently construed into acaui-
escence or concession, and used rs cvi.
denee of their truth, II is frequently
necessary TO expose and contradict
what seems to intelligent men too rid.
iculous To deserve notice.
That there ever has been a time since
the Rebellion was inaugurated wher
peace could have been attained and th,
Union saved, is clearly contradicted--
not by our knowledge Of the character
and purposes of the Rebels, only, bu
by their express declarations.
On the 4th day Of December, 1850

1864, the rebels under command of Nc

entered Chambersburg, Pa, and demanded
$500, 900 from ths citizens, under a threat
in writing and was signed by Gen. Jubal
Early. ',ou.l.s
1t is now established by indisputable proof
that this demand was a mere pretext on the
part of the marauders to cover up pur-'
lose formed before they reached the town
to burn it to the ground, without giving any
time to remove private property, and;
scarcely time enough for the citizens to re-
move their families. They fired the houses
over $50 houses in Tic heart OF the town
were consumed, including all the public
buildings, stores and hotels, comprising
about two.thiTds of q town containing 5000
inhabitants. Thus large body Of citizens
are reduced from comparative wealth 10
absolute poverty. Many fap,ilies haze. ,6st
