ers for numbering up our columns with such
low. dirty. blackguard trash. We have done
so, to give our readers All idea of the true
character of the paper that assumes to be the
organ of Washington Territory Democracy"
The capital upon which tho Democ"m is
founded, incredible rs it may seem, has been
furnished by friends of Mr.. Lincoln's Admin
istration. Not content with this. the editor
has the brazen cflrontry to take honest Union
men to task for not patronizing his pestiferous
sheet. Any man who contributes dime for
its support, voluntarily, must expect to be re-
garded as in sympathy with the Peace " De-
mocyacy." 1t bids fair to merit tho conf
,lcncc of all rebel sympathizers, and he should
understand at tho outset that he must look to
them for support.
10 The following extracts, we have been
permitted to make from d letter received by
DR.. Henry from his friend Gen. kautz, dated
near Petersburg, Sept. 9Th, 1864:
Everything is going on well, and we will
have Richmond before Christmas. The pco-
pie expect too much of us, and we appear too
Slow to their ovcr-anxious desires, but the
rebellion was too gigantic and their resources
too extensive for us to make greater Roadway.
We have been looking with much interest to
the result of the Chicago Convention. We
feared there was too great desire to have
peace, and peace on any terms, but the result;
proves tho people arc all right. Lincoln will
be elected. The army cannot so milk and
water policy. Notwithstanding the many
friends Mcclellan has in the army, they will
not endorse him with Pcndleton. a porma-
ncnt peace must be conquered. l do not
think The rebels can hold out much longer
The capture of Atlanta, which will be old
news before this reaches you, has just been
communicated to us, and is an important suc-
cess but the Richmond Enquirer Of yester-
day. which has just been sent in from the
picket. says that 'the capture OF Atlanta, we
hope, will open tho eyes of the North to the
folly of continuing the fght'-a very slim
hope it seems to me, and indicates how tho
rebellion is holding OH by tho eyelids We
expect to hear of tho capture of Mobile by
tho time this reaches you, and it will not take
long to get Richmond if they will only send
us on recruits to fill up our ranks"
