PEACE DECLARED !
AT

After months campaign aud the succeeding
terrific onslaught and obstinate resistance Of the
Fort Emporium on Fifth street, the welcome
Hatless, Shirtless and Shiftless as the certainty
of peace would convey to the hearts Of those
who live in war times The past week will be
ever memorable as most eventful one in the
annals Of this crusade upon CAsAD 4 GILNoRE's

armed and equipped regardless Of expense, ar.
rived, as usual, at the scene Of action in time
to see nothing of the occurrence; but after few
inquiries from very reliable gentlemen, aided by
a most fertile imag ination, noted down the rec.
ords OF an eyewitness to the last en- Engagement
Of the Coats and Greenbacks. The assailants
attacked the Emporium front and rear and were
met by the blandest smiles. No sooner had they
entered the lines Of the finest OF goods in the
country, than they were seized around their
necks, measured and repulsed for want Of ammu.
milton, with display of
Coats, Vests, Pants, Shirts, Hats, Caps,
and Furnishing Goods.
Nothing daunted, however, and knowing that
the most precious bargains were to be had. the
besiegers pressed on in overwhelming numbers
and determined to carry the fort and every thing
in 1t with q storm Of greenbacks at any cost;
while CAsAD Il GILMORE were equally determin-
ed never TO surrender as long as there Was .
garment IN the store or shirt in the locker.
Rentorcements being received by every train
for those so cruelty sacrificed, all hope of reduc-
ing the stock by assault was abandoned by the
bessigers, and the olive branch of peace finally
accepted on terms alike honorable and satisfac.

ceived what they wanted. Whilst by the treaty

many localities which had furnished
large number of re enlisted men get very
few crdits, and vice Versa. Now the
State authorities have received reports

is far more correct than the Government,

have all veterans credited to localities, as

You will see that in order to adjust

mA-A Davenport correspondent OF the
Muscatine Journal, under date of Sept.
3D., gives the following particulars in re.
gard to the draft:
Gas very many readers of your paper
are doubtless looking forward to the 9Th
inst, with great anxiety to know wheth.
err they shall be the lucky ones to draw
prize in the great lottery which it has
been expected would come off here on
and after said date, and fearing there
might be great disappointment when
they find that it does not commence on
the day appointed, l have thought that
a word Of explanation might pacify
them, until the time comes. There has
been a claim by the State authorities
against the Government for some two
thousand veterans, pending for some
time, which the State claimed over and
above those returned by the Government
as having ro'enlisted. This claim has,
am informed, finally been adjusted, and
the State gets the credit for them. And
there must be short time given for a
distribution of these credits to the prop.
er localities.
Another and more important matter
to cause delay is that, in the returns
made by the U. s. Commissioners Of
Muster who mustered the veterans out
of their old term, and into the new, there
are evidently very many gross mistakes

WHAT GRANT ASKS 10 END THE WAR,


These considerations all unite in the IL
lustration of the fact that the military status
is very far from being of this discouraging
aspect which it wears, not only in the
iaundiced eyes of those whose desires prompt
them to invest it in sofnbre hues, but which
it assumes even to the apprehension fmany
who would fam hope better things Lam
persuaded that if our armiesdid no more than
hold their own, in their present position,
with the grip they have on the rebel armies
the rebellion must wear itself away and die
out from sheer lack of breath But heduty
is laid upon US not less in consideration for
the South itself than for the integrity OF the
nation, and the material interests Of the
world at large, to use swifter means for its
suppression. We all want peace, North and
South: but theshortest cut to peace is through
vigorous blows at that alone which prevents
peace-the armed forces still under control Of
the chiefs of the rebellion. Even in point of
time no ambassadors could arrange terms of
peace SO quickly as the mission of a fresh
hundred thousand musket. 1t is no mere poor
Judgment of mine, but the authoritative ut
terance of the head of all our armies, that it
is in the hands of the people to end the re-

THE SITUATION BEFORE ATLANTA.

The main forces of the rebellion are collec-
ted in two arnies-the one defending Rich
mond, the political capital of the cotitedera7
cy. 3i] J a. 'su -.i,E5. u-ul 10
In front of Atlantais planted the superb
army OF Gen. Sherman, a man OF unsur-
passed ability. He has placed his army in
that position after an advance from Chat
tanooga Of nearly a hundred miles, marked
by series of brilliant maneuvers, and actions
in which the enemy,s force has been driven
from a succession of strongholds, looked up
on as sifnpregnable Arriving in front Of
Atlanta, he has been thrice assailed by the
enemy willing to lavish everything in the
desperate effort to drive him back. The enc
nv has thrice met a bloody repulse Sher
man is now working slowly but surely
round the rebel communications two linessof
which he holds Hei is completing this by
extending his forces around on their only re
manning line-a task which necessarily de-
mands sometime for its accomplishment. But
thete-is no dead lock at Atlanta, and those
who represent the situation in this light ut
IterIy fail to grasp. the true military signif-
canoe of what Sherman is doing. Gen Sher=
man can take Atlanta any day; but he aims
at more than that-he means the destrlc
ton of the Confederacy. And indeed, either
that result or its early fight is matter Of
speedy certainty. .g
At the same time that he is thus pressing
with fatal weight on the enemy, Sherman, 8
| own communications safe, which is much
| to be able to say Of a line two-thirds as long
as that of Napolean's from Nieman to Mos
COW. The rebels who have been counting
! on dislodging him from before Atlanta, by
Operations on his lines have been taught by
! the failure Of their last attempt INSIDE with
their whole available cavalry, the emptiness
! of these speculations while those among
Yourselves who, looking at the enormous
depths of this line ,have been solieitous for
his safety,may dismiss their fears. The sub
stantiaI grounds Of this security are not
proper to make public ;but it is unSeeming-
/ ly to say this much---tlat Sherman, (who
has genius forsupplying his army unequal
ed by any commander in the field, )is practi-
/ caIly independent of his line of communica-
ton for any time during which the enemy
| can interrupt. 1t this, therefore, leaves
him free to work out the great task before
him; and private adyices from himself to
the Government give the assured hope Of its
early accomplishment sl,s. .,r,1g i. -.l
! OF the effect Of the capture of Atlanta it
is not too much to say that secondary in its
political Importance to that of Richmond,
vet in a material and military point of view
/ -in its pressure on the issue of the warts
effect must be tenfold that of the capture of
the rebel capital. 1t once more cuts the
confederacy in twain, and compels the re-
bel army, if it be allowed to retreat at all
| to make towards Montgomery, in which
