the false hopes and expectations OF the Rebel
government, and proclaim to the people OF the
Rebel States that their only hope oil peace
lies in abandoning their hostihties TO the Gov
ernment and resuming their allegiance to the
Constitution and laws of the United States,
We call upon the UNION COMMITTEES and
the UNION LEAGUES, aud upon all loyal asso-
Citations in every State, County and Town
to perfect their organizations; to infuse fresh
vigor and activity into their operations; to
canvass carefully and promptly their respec-
tive districts; to circulate Documents and
Newspapers containing just and fOrcl6le expo
sitiuns of the merits of our cause; to combat
by assembIages of the people 10 public meet
ings, by public speeches, by conversation, by
letters and personal appeals, aud In all just
and proper modes, the deceptive and perilous
sophistries of the agents and political allies OF
the rebellion. Let them be on their guard
against the arts of corruption and of intrigue
which will be brought, with INSCRIPTIONS des-
peration, to bear upon them. The rebel Gov
ernment, and those Foreign Powers most deep
ly interested in our destruction, could well
afford to expand millions in overthrOwing this
administration, and in placing in power the
nominees and representatives OF the Chicago
Convention.
The skies are bright and full Of promise
The lion-hearted citizen soldiers of the Re
public march With steady steps and unfalter-
ing purpose to a speedy and glorious victo-
ry The hearts of the people beat true to
the Union. Every triumph of the Union
arms over the rebel troops arouses afresh the
courage and confidence of Union men, and
chills the heart and decimates the ranks Of
the submission secessionists represented at
Chicago. A Union victory in November
will end the long and laboriOus strife. 1t
will disperse its armes, destroy the hope by
which the despotism at Richmond now holds
its subjects in bondage, release the people of
the Southern States from their enforced dis
! loyalty, and give them again the blessings
| of selEgovernment within the Union and un-
| der the protecting Constitution and Flag of
the United States. 1t will enable our own
government to exchange the weapons of war
! for the counsels of peace, to relax the stern
control over public action and public speech
which q state of war renders unavoidable, to
restore our financial system, to dissolve ali
military courts, and hand over again to the
civil tribunals of justice the punishment Of
crimes and the preservation OF public order,
and 10 restore to their firesides and their
homes clothed with honors and to be held in
everlasting remembrance, that great army of
our citizen-soldiers who have barred their
breasts against armed rebellion, and won the
| imperishable renown OF saving the glorious
Union, for which their fathers and their BROTH
era died.

The OCTOBER ELEcTIoN.-We hope no
Union voter fails to appreciate the Importance
of the October election. 1t win have a most
important bearing ON the Presidential election
which follows soon after, and if the Union ma
iority is large in this and other States which
hold their elections the same day, it will vir-
tually decide the November contest. We
therefore exhort the friends of the Union cause
throughout the county to be vigilant and ac-
tive, and spare no effort to have every availa-
BILE vote polled. Hundreds of votes are lost
every year by absence from the polls, which
might be prevented by little forethougbt and
care. Do not leave any Union voter remain
away from the polls if you can prevent it-so
arrange your business that you will not be
away from home on election day-if you know
of any one who is absent write to him and
urge him to return and if any one Of your
acquaintance who is entitled to vote pur-
poses going on journey previous to the cleo
ton, impress upon him the importance of de-
ferring his departure till after his ballot has
been deposited in the box. Attend to these
matters by all means, and the consciousness of
having advanced the Union cause will amply
repay you.

WHAT THE REBELS THINK OF THE EVACUATION
OF ATLANTA.

We have what we deem authentic informa-
tiOn that our whole loss in killed and woun-
ded in the fights in Flint river, and on the
next day ct JonesborO was not thousand
men. This fact has one bad aspect. Those
fights lost US Atlanta, and the smallnegs of our
loss in killed and wounded proves that by gen
eralship alore, the enemy got possession of
the city, in defence Of which Hood had inten-
ded as all the world knows, to deliver des-
perate battle. The fact is, while Hood thought
the bulk of the Yankee army was in the front
at Atlanta, it was twenty miles in the rear, on
the Macon road. We hope he will be on
the lookout for a repetition Of the movement.

Two OR THREE FACTs.-The Copperheads
assert that Mr.. Lincoln has needlessly pro-
longed the war history will say that Gen.
McClellon has done more TO proong the war
than any other man in the North.
The Copperheads complain that Mr.. Lin
coin has sanctioned arbitrary arrests history
will say that Gen Mcclellan was the first man
in the North, or among the first to authorize
and direct such arrests.
The Copperheads charge it as one OF Mr..
Iincoln's chief crimes that he has favored
emanc patton history will say tha: foremost
among the practical supporters Of such policy
was Gen. Mcclellan.
The Copperheads have abused Mr.. Lincoln
for resorting to draft to fill up the Union
ranks history will say that the first man to
advise draft was Gen. Mcclellan.

"Let every Unionist remember" says The
Philadelphia Age, "that Abraham Lincoln an
nounces that the Abolition Of Slavery is the
only basis upon which he will negotiate for
peace" Let every Unionist remember, say
we, that Jefferson Davis announces that the
only basis upon which he will negotiate is the
absolute and unconditional independence Of
the South. And yet the Copperheads, with
Gen. Mcclellan at their head, declare them
selves in favor of an immediate negotiation. -
Upon whose basis, then, we ask -? Since they
renounce that of Abraham Lincoln, which re-

MELANCHOLY ACCTDENT.-Y esterday (Fri-
day. morning at o'clock, Col. Alfred Nc
Weigh, of Lancaster, Ohio, together with his
vile, daughter, and little grandson, started
for their home on the stage coach from the
Goodale House in this city In going down
a hill about one and half miles below Win
chester, the stage upset, and the coat Mr.. Nc
Weigh caught on the coach, throwing him un-
der it, where he was instantaneously crushed
to death. He was seated on the outside with
the driver and had the little boy between bis
legs We learn that the poor boy was severe
ly wounded, and that there is no hope for his
recovery. The coach had heavy top load
and when arriving nearly at the foot of the
hill, the driver cut one of the wheel horses
with bis whip, and it is supposed that in
springing forward, the coach gave a sudden
lurch and went over. There was an old lady
inside, also badly injured.
Col. McVeigh was widely known and re-
spected for his many amiabe qualities of
head and heart. He was member Of the
Senate a few years ago, and at the time of
his death was one of the Commissioners ap-
pointed by the Governor to settle the dam
ages the citizens of Ohio sustained by the
Morgan Rsid.-State Journal.

a great Union mass meeting was held in
Independence Square, Philadelphia, last Sat
urday evening. Among the orators was the
Hon. John Cessna, Democratic speaker OF the
last House of Representatives of Pennsylvania.
He eloquenty and forcibly gave the reasons
which had induced him TO leave the Democrat
ic party, with which he had been all his life
connected, and exposed very clearly the du-
plicity OF the Chicago platform and the false
ness of the assertions and arguments of the
opponents Of the war.

MEDARY ON MCCLELLAN AND BELMONT
Previous to the Chicago Convention the
"Peace men" embraced the great body of the
Democratic party in Ohio, and the CRISIS was
their recognized organ. 1t presists in its
refusal to support "war candidate" not
withstaDding he is placed on a cowardly peace
platform and is associated with peace man
of the Vallandigham stripe. The editor, Sam
Medary, iamil iarly known as the "Old
Wheel Horse of Democracy, thus pitches in
to Little Mac, and the man Belmont, to
whom be owes his nomination. OF Mcclellan,
he says:
at is well known that General Mcclellan
has not one spark of pretensions to the Pres
idency except what he has made out of this
war under MIR. Lincoln. He never held civ
il office in his life. Dennison brought him
forward as a military man. Yet in three
years as a mere soldier, he rises to the demands
of the Presidency to head party which is
for peace-a position requiring a statesman
OF enlarged views and a statesman's experience.
And for what? That few men who have
got his ear may get foreign missions and home
positions, at the expense of tie peace of the
country and the lives of their constituents
This is paying too dear for such whistles, and
for one, we protest against it in behalf of our
bleeding ruined and distracted country"
Of Belmont, the great Democratic Prince,
and relative of the rebel Commissioner Sill
dell, he thus speaks:
"We are asked by Democrats, who is this
Mr.. Belmont, who seems to have a perpetual
lease upon the Democratic party? He as a
foreigner. lives in the style of the European
nobility, and is put by the money mongers
and shoddy contractors of Wall street at the
head of the Democratic party to keep it con-
servative."

Auguste Belmont, prime minister in the
Chicago Convention, Chairman of the Demo
cratic Committee, the man who has purchased
perpetual lease of the democratic party"
the man who owns Geo. B. Mcclellan, and
who spent 100000 at Chicago to secure lit
tie Macs nomination, is Bavarian Jew, an
illegi innate son of one Of the Rothschilds, and
is married to a niece of Alexander Sidel, the
rebel envoy and emmissary in France

The rebels are overwhelmed with despon-
deucy in conse quence of their late disaster re-
sulting in the loss of Atlanta. They evident
ly regard the States menaced by Sherman in
his present position as in imminent danger,
and to guard against the threatened calamity
they are not only forcing into the ranks all
the old men and boys, but also those who had
been detailed to superintend farming and me,
chanical operations and to work in the gov
erument offices, armories and manufactures
The Governor of Georgia, in his proclama-
tion appointing day of humiliation and pray
er, speaks of the present as ''time of great
public calamity" and the proclamations of the
Governors of Alabama and South Carolina,
urging all their citizens to enter the ranks of
the army and furnish subsistence, are
exceedingly gloomy in tone, as are also
the editorials of the papers published in those
States. Sherman has evidently struck the re-
bellion a staggering blow.
