IHE snuTH nEpnPuLkIEn.

A correspondent writing from Cairo, says:
Refugees still are coming. and though well
provided for. such is their condition, that
about half of them die. The accounts from
Southern Missouri and Arkansas are, that So
ciety is broker up, and that everywhere out OF
our lines Satan's will is ''done on earth."-
The guel rillas have become nothing more or
less than robbers and murderers. They have
deserted both armies. Those who can get
away do sO-many are wholly unable TO move.
and state it in plain words, they are starving
to death. The question whether they belong
to the Union or the rebel side no longer ex-
lists, for whatever is out of the rebel army is
nothing. Ia one year more there will be no
people in many parts of those States left. OF
the whole South it is to be said that no coun-
try ever was SO rapidly depopulated. OF this
there is not the least doubt. .

ApIs1REssINs CALAMITY.

A mile north of Evansville, Jefferson Co.,
Ind resided Mr.. Edward Maloney, with a
wife aud five children, three boys and two
girls, aged from five to twelve years. On
coming home last Thursday Dight, one of his
children told him that strange person had
been prowling round the house, and he SEEM
ed to be q bad man. No attention was paid
to this, although Mr.. Maloney had 81 800 OF
greenbacks in the house. At eleven O'Clock
they were awakened to find the heus in flames
The children were up stairs, and tn e feelings
of the parents can be better imagined than de-
scribed when they found themselves powerless
to rescue them. One, the Oldest daughter,
jumped out Of the window, but was dangerous
ly mangled Another got out on the burning
roof, but only to fall into the flames to perish
with her three brothers. The affliction drove
the mother into what is hoped will be but tenn
pOrary insanity. 1t is not doubted that the
FIRE was the work of an incendiary. How
changed the scene of that ia mily.

WORK nE TIE SANITARY COMMISSION.

The field of Sanitary labor is very extens-
i've, and the work performed by the Commiss
ion is almost incredible. From an official
statement published, it appears that the entire
expenditure for the whole work of the United
States Sanitary Commission, East, South, and
West, was in May $262,892 in June $252,-
175 making a total for two months of $685.
ia. The following is list of some of the
supplies forwarded by the Commission in June:
canned tomatoes, 2O7,I56 pounds canned
fruit, 10000 pounds; canned jelles 574
pounds; picked cucumbers, 36,273 gallons, be-
ing about 1900 barrels; picked onions, r.
344 gallons fresh onions 100 barrels; dried

THE WORK uflcLosINe THIS WAR IS BEFORE US.

That is what Gov. Brough says in his
Proclamation, and he says the truth. "The
work OF closing this war is before US We have
it to do. and of course we cannot avoid recog-
niziug the fact that we must furnish the means
to accomplish that purpose"
There are just two ways to end this war ::
fight it out to the destruction Of its cause, or
ignobly compromise for the salvation Of
slavery, and certain crop OF future contests
Those who take counsel from cowardice, or from
traitor lips, will join the party that de- clares
for peace at any price; those who are worthy
descendants of those patriotic sires, who found
ed this Government with the direct under stan
ding and belief that slavery should be but
temporary evil will fight out the war until it
secures to all the inaIIena bic right of liberty,
and until the dignity of labor vindicated and
eur institutions placed beyond reach of the
vandal hands of snch as would sustain an ar
istocracy upon the product OF the sweet and
groaDs of unrequited toll. CleUeLGnd Herald.

WAR WHnnp From rAMMAKY.

The Tammany branch of the New York
City Democracy represent what is styled the
war feature while Mozart which is epgin-
eered by Wood, represents the peace portion
of the now inharmonious party. On the 4th
of July the Tammany society had eelebra-
ton, at the close of which the following pat
riotic resolutions, moved by Gen. Walbridge,
were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That whoever, under any circum-
stances, and under any pretext, advocates the
separation of the United States and the
consequent overthrow of the American Union,
is traitor to constitutional liberty, and de-
serves traitors DOOM
RESOLVED, That any Intervention whatever,
by any foreign power at all in our domestic
strife should be followed by an immediate and
instant declaration of war, leaving the issue
to God, and the strength and power Of free
people in the vindication of their just rights

The NEWS.

Nothing from the Army before Petersburg;
and, while his past career affords a sufficient
guarantee that Grant knows what he is about
and in his own time will accomplish the task
he has undertaken, it il idle to indulge in
speculations as to when and how it will be ac-
cOmplished.
IL, From the Army under Sherman ths news
ID important and interesting. On Wednesday
Of last week, his entire force having crossed
the Chattahoochee, he was attacked by the
rebels some six or eight miles from Atlanta
the result being their repulse with heavy loss,
the loss on our side being very light. After
this contest our forces advanced to within a
few miles of the city, where on Friday last
the rebels again attacked with great fury, were
Fepulsed with terrible loss, and leaving their
dead on the feld, retired within their entrench,
ments, our forces occupying portion OF them
and our guns got into position from which
shells can be thrown into the heart of the city.
Up to last advices there had been no further
fighting, and though Gen. Sherman did not
hold the city there seemed to he no doubt of
his capturing it. We lost in the struggle Maj
Gen. MCPHERSON, and reports state that
among the rebel killed was Lieut.. Gen. Hood,
who had command of the rebel forces.
There are again exciting reports of for
midable rebel raid towards Maryland and
Pennsylvania, with the usual mass of contra
dietOry dispatches and extravagant estimates
of the rebel force. 1t is said our forces under
Crook had sustained reverse in the Shenan-
doah Valley, but nothing certain is known on
the subject. The latest dispatches give no
positive information of rebel force having
crossed the Potomac.

Eighty-eight sheep yielded 1,O6s lbs, of wool,

yearings. The sheep were unwashed, but
free from dirt and other foul matter except
the natural oil of the wool The Albion

In the last number of Medary's Crisis ap-

every Democrat in the township" They dep.
recate war, declaim on the beauties of peace
demand the nomination of peace candidates
on a peace platform, and avow their deter
mination not to vote for "war men or war

in that township or in the county who does
not desire peace as ardently and deprecate war
as sincerely as the persons whose names are
attached to the petition. There might, how
ever, be difference of opinion as to the terms
upon which peace would be acceptd or de-
sirable The rebels have at all times pro-
claimed the terms and the only terms upon
which they will accept peace. If the Harlem
peace men are ready to accept those terms,
they should be honest and candid enough to
say so. They are thus stated by the Rich
mond Enquirer, the official organ of the JEFF.

The PEACE NEeoT1Ar1oNs-The peace ne

period across the Niagara river, terminated
on the 2lst, and accomplished nothing ne
cassary result from the fact that the rebel ad-
Venturers who undertook the business on the
part Of JEFF Davis had no authority to act for
or to represent him. By pretending that they
Wsre authorized to submit peace propositions
they obtained from the President the promise
Of safe transit to Washington and back
When this point was attained they changed
their base" and admitted that they were not
accredited agents from Richmond "as the bear
ers of propositions looking to peace" but
hoped to be able to obtain such authority if
permitted to pass on from Washington to the
