WHAT ARMIsTIcE MBANs.-The war
democrats who intend 10 vote for an ar
mistice, so as to negotiate and find out
if the rebels are in earnest when they
say they will not return to the Union on
any conditions, should understand how
much an armistice means and what con-
dition it will place US in for the prose-
cution of the war afterwards. The Rich
mond Examiner of August 25th enlight-
ems them, as follows:
Gas this is, on the part Of the enemy,
war of invasion, with q view to the
occupation Of our country by military
force, and war carried on equally by
sea and land, an armistice, in any in
telligible sense whatever could mean
nothing less than q cessation OF every
act OF war for the time agreed upon,
both naval and military nothing less
than withdrawal of the invading
troops from every part of the confeder-
ate states, and suspension of the
blockade of the coast. The occupation
of Grants camp at Petersburg and Of
ShermanS before Atlanta, the occupa-
tion of Chattanooga, Knoxville and Har-
per's Ferry, are all acts Of war. The
presence of a blockading squadron of
Wilmington, to stop and destroy our
merchant vessels, is an act of war, An
armistice intended to be real, and not IL
lusory, would be the stoppage of all
these operations and occupations and
such an armistioe tho confederate GOV
ornment could not have the Jolly 10 ~
ject, In fact, the practical establish
ment OF such an armistice would need
| no proposal of the matter to US at all
nor any assent to it on our part"

GEN. BURNSIDE. - Gen. Burnside on
his return from trip to the White
Mountains the othel day, made the fol-
lowing stirring war speech at Centre
Harbor, where he was serenaded. 1t is
right encouraging ..
"My friends am sure you will ex-
cuse me from making any extended re-
marks on this occasion, because, in the
first place, it is not my habit to address
public assemblies, and just now / am
returning from brief pleasure trip
through your beautiful country, during
which / have purposely enjoyed recrea-
ton, and thought as little as possible of
official or public business.
1t will not be amisS, however, for me
to say that have the fullest confidence
in the ability of the government to
crush out this wicked rebellion. / feel
that the day is not far distant when the
dependency which now prevails will
totally disappear and the people in the
North win SEE, as we in the field see, that
the end is at hand.
Only united effort is needed TO enable
the government to move still more
quickly. / refer to this because l have
lately witnessed this dependency and
been surprised at it. Why, have heard
more grumbling at the North within
three days, than heard in our whole
campaign, from the Rapidan to Peters
burg.
People seem to think that our armies
are wearing out without corresponding
exhaustion on the part of the enemy
This is a mistake. Our resources in the
field are now greater than his. We have
three times his home resources un-
touched, and can lose far more than the
South, and still break down the rebel
lion.
repeat, there is no cause for despon-
dency. Let every citizen do all in his
power and the result is sure. 1t is not
possible that any cause so founded in
iniquity as this rebellion should succeed.
But, independent of the right and
wrong, 1 sure from observation that we
have the strength and will to conquer" !"
The Generals remarks made strong
impression on the audience.

The New York Tribune says there
were at least one thousand more Lincoln
votes in that city on Wednesday after
the Chicago democratic platform had
been read, than there were the day be-

not one would vote for Mcclellan or any
one else ON that platform.

sg~ 1t is suggested that the perpetual
Chicago convention should be called to-

Wis that they disapproye and regret the
new act of coercion just accomplished
by Gen. Sherman at Atlanta, and to beg
him to hold out against Grant at Rich
mond till they can have chance to vote
for an armistice.

Way VALLANpIoHAM WAS NOT ARRBs1

Why VALLANDIGHAM WAS NOT ARREST
Rp.--Speaker Colfax, in a recent speech
in Peru, Ind, gave the following as the
reason why Vallandigham was not car-
rested when he returned from banish-
ment
"When Mr.. Vallandigham returned it
was very natural that the first place he
went TO should be q democratic conven-
tion He thought Mr.. Lincoln would
arrest him. Mr.. Lincoln knew the fact
that at that time there was a secret or
ganization in the Northwest, the details
of which he may not have been familiar
with but he knew the intention was
70 make Vallandigham's arrest pretext
for lighting the torch of civil war all
over the Northwest. Anxious to pre-
serve the peace at your own homes, Mr..
Lincoln passed over the return of Val
landigham."

THR REBELS MARCH OUT.
Accordingly, at precisely 2 O'Clock,
the rebel army, numbering probably a
little over six hundred, marched out at
the main sallyport without music and
without banners, and were drawn up in
line at the foot of the glacis fronting
towards the bay, TIE regiments of
Union infantry-the 34th Iowa and Goth
Wisconsin-preceded by a brass band
playing Hail Columbia and with the
Stars and Stripes and the colors of their
respective States floating proudly above
them, marched by, and halted about five
PAGES in front of the rebel line. The
rebels then stacked their arms after
which the bands struck up the Star
Spangled Banner The rebel rag was
torn down, and the old flag of our Union
was once more flung to the breezes
which are waited over the ramparts of
Fort Morgan
UNION SALUTE
Then a national salute was thundered
from the guns of the men-of- war in the
bay, and in the gulf from Fort Gaines,
and from some OF our batteries on the
peninsula. When the enthusiasm had
somewhat subsided, the rolls of the reb-
el companies were called and verified,
the officers and soldiers placed on board
transports, the formal surrender of Fort
Morgan was completed, and the COM
mand of the entrance to Mobile Bay
passed forever from the rebel States
THE SPECTATORS.
While the salute was being fired hun
dreds of officers of the army and navy in
brilliant uniforms, and hundreds of SOL
diers and sailors, who seemed well
pleased with the work they had done,
crowded the ramparts of the fort to wit
ness the imposing scenes"

4th, the 5th eoFps and the I4sh, 18th, 18th,
18th and 2eth had been concentrated at
the last named city, and rapid preparations
were being made : to begin the march.
Sherman felt in high spirits and telegraphed
his intentions in these memorable words !:
'lHood has crossed the Tennessee. Thomas
will take care of him and Nashville, while
Schofeld will not let him In to Chattanooga
or Knoxville. Georgia and South Caro-
lima are at my mercy, and shall strike
Do not be anxious about me, am all
right" This is his adieu.
Rebel papers already announce that he
has started on his march. ."
Where is he going2 Andsrsonville,
where the rebels have 20, 600 Union prison
ers, penned up like hogs, lies in his way.

the President of the st. Louis Sanitary
Commission, as follows:

the request to send certain articles for our
prisoners. Things have changed since, and

At the entertainment given General
Butler last evening, at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, he announced that he would leave
for his army in the field to-day. In his
speech he urged that the olive branch be
once mora extended to the rebels, and if
refused, then he asked for a sharp, vigor-
Gus war. He thought the bounties given
our soldiers should consist of the lands
conquered from the rebels, which should
be equitably divided, and their owners

The movement of Sherman's army is

Some time since there was conclsve,

was sent to Washington. This gentleman
was authorized to assure the President that
Georgia would secede from the Confede-
