UNION MEETNas.-We hear Of enthusiast
tic Union Meetings having been held in Chi
cago, Cleveland, indianapolis, and other cities
and Of a grand national outpOuring to take
place at Buffalo on the 18th; but we must say
that the best Of all Union Meetings are those
of Fsrragut in Fort Morgan, Sherman in At
lanta, and Grant on the Weldon railroad; and
the beauty ofthese meetings is that they speak
in much louder tones for the Union, are pro-
tracted, and make converts in genuine Psnts-
costal style.

four o'clock took up position on the Ieh oi
the 18th corps, which was formed IN line ol
battle. The enemy bad enuenched them
selves in front, and the l4th corps was order
ed to assault them The Cavalry and infant
fantry steadily advanced under scourging
fire of muskeIry aud artillery. and after a
most desperate conflict of some two hours du-
ration, succeeded in driving the enemy from
their works, captured two batteries, taken
from US at Chickamauga tive guns) and auth-
er of four guns, some battle. flags and large
number OF prisoners.
We also took General Caveu and his Ad-
iutant General. Brig. ten. Cummings, OF
5. D. Lees corps, was mortally wounded.
1t is said an entire brigade was captured
with Caven. This swells our list OF prisoners
TO near two thousand.
While the l4th Corps was thus nobly and
fereely engaged, the army Of the Tennessee and
4th Corps were vigorously pressing the enemy
on the right and left.
Early in the night Lees (rebeD corps moved
noiselessly away, with the intention of forming
a junction with Stewards corps, which had re-
mained in Atlanta, besides six hundred militia,
which Hood had stationed there 20 watch
Sherman's movements, which seemed to con-
found him. The command in the field there
fore devoved on Hardee, who retreated along
the Macon Railroad.
Hood, finding his situation desperate in At
lanta. also retreated, first burning up nearly
one thousand bales of cotton and eighty-six,
wagons ladened with ammunition, chiefly car
tridges and canister.
At the break of day. when Sherman found
the enemy had retreated, he put his whole ar
my 10 motion, and followed in hot pursuit
his object being to get between Hood and
Hardee, aDd thus cut of either part Though
he may net succeed 10 this, as they had all
nights start, be will certainly harrass their
rear cuttiDg of aud capturing large numbers.
The defeat has a most paralySing effect on
Hoods army, for soldiers aud militia are
breaking for home, on all sides. We heard
the roar of exploding ammunition at Atlanta
and Jonesboro. Gen. Slocum, who was guar
ding our communications and trains along the
Chattahoochie, sent forward a detachment
from Wards, Geary's and Williams divisions
on a reconnaissance. These advanced TO the
city, which they found evacuated. and entered
about II o'clock on the morning of the I'd of
September. They were at once met by a
depution, comprising the Mayor, High Sher-
if, aud some citizens, who made formal
surrender of the towp to Gen. Ward; simply
making the following request:

The New York Herald, an anti-Administra-
tion paper, predicts that if Mcclellan accepts
the nomination on the Chicago platform
(Which he will do) Lincoln will walk over the
track without serious opposition. In reference
to the miserable, sneaking, cowardly platform,
it we'll says:
''Nothing can explain such platform except
the hypothesis that it was dictated by JEFF.
Davis to the Peace Democrats, and that these
Peace men fOisted it upon the Chicago Con-
vention as the price of their Endorsement of
Gen McGlellan's nomination

UNION THUNDER IN THE EAsT.--The first
response to the Chicago nominations was made
by Vermont last Tuesday, and most glorious
response it was. The Union men swept the
State with rush, carrying everything before
them, and by largely increased mejorities.-
The contest was for Governor, State and Coun-
ty officers and members of the Legislature
In forty towns heard from but two opposition
members of the Legislature were elected.
In the city of Wilmington, Delaware, the
municipal election took place on the 9th. The
contest was animated aud the vote large, and
the Union men triumphed gloriously in every
ward, their majority in the city being $50.
Since the Baltimore Convention was held
the elections that have occurred have resulted
in one unbroken series Of Union victories
The Chicago Convention it was claimed would
change the current, but in the above results
behold'the response of Vermont and Delaware !!
Maine speaks next, and other States will fol-
low in rapid succession.

TOWNSHIP MEETINGs.-We trust the Union
men of the several townships will notice the
call for township meetings published to-day
Let pains be taken to have these meetings well
attended. The October election virtually de-
cides the Presidential contest. Ohio must send
a good report in the shape of a rousing Union
majority to her sister States. To enable her
to do so every county must do its duty. Let
US see that Delaware is not derilect The
time is short--the campaign is fairly opened
the ball must be kept in mOtion--and a glo-
rious victory will be the result.

In another column we give the official re-
commendation of the President to the clergy
throughout the United States, that on sun
day next they give thanks to the Almighty
for the signal success of our arms in recent
engagements with the enemy in Mobile Bay
and before Atlanta
He has also issued bulletins rendering
thanks to Gen. sherman and his officers and
men, and to Admiral Farragut and General
Candy and their commands, for their gallant
bravery in the recent actions at Mobile and
Atlanta which resulted so disastrously to the
rebels and shed additional glory upon our
arms.
