movements of our forces in the lower VAL
ley. Since Sberidan's retreat with his
whole forces, "horse, foot aud dragons"
from the vicinity of Strasburg, to Martins
burg, Harper's Ferry and beyond the Po-
toma,, his infantry have not been disposed
to trouble anybody very much this side of
the Potomac. But his cavalry, OF which
he has large numbers, are holder, more
active, and seem determined to do US all
the damage they can. They move in large
and formidable bodies, their movements
taking the form of "raids." They are
pretty closely watched, however, and
whenever the Confederates get a good
chance at them they are pretty rough
ly handled. They had, it seems, organized
and started upon one OF those raids on
Thursday or Friday of last week, and their
movements lad created DO little excite
meut at different points in the valley. At
several places an excited courier bad Gre

most certainly comIeg again. Towards
night, however, all apprehension that the
enemy were coming began to suhside, and
by eight o'clock in the evening almost
every body felt satisfied that they could re-
tire to rest without fear of being disturbed
by villainous Yankee raiders.
All we heard of the relative positions OF
the forces below US, was that Fitz Lees
division had been skirmishing with the
enemy in the neighborhood of Newtown,
on Friday afternoon last, had driven them
back, and the OOnfederates had retired to
Fishers hill, whilst the raiders had passed
through Front Royal and the Page valley,
thus fanking Lee. OF course this repre-
sentaIion of the condition of things was by
no means pleasant to the people living
above Mount Jackson, and accordingly, We
learn, quartermaster, or commissary, or
commandment of post, above that place, got
ready to go down the valley with his gov
ernmeDt property.
twas ascerteined pretty clearly howev-
er, on Monday that there was NO danger OF
the Yankees coming into this part OF the
valley, the raiders never having gone up
Page valley, but had crossed to the eastern
side of the Blue Ridge. Where they went
we have yet to learn but we presume they
will be heard from in due time. All we
can say is We commiserate the situation OF
any section they may visit.

TIE stories of deserters are always re-
ceived with distrust. Deserters are always
DESTROYS of pleasing the side to which they
have deserted, and to give a good reason
for leaving that on which they enlisted
They are generally Indifferent to the truth,
which they pretend to describe. Still, with
all this, the uniform story of the rebel de-
serters, and yet more, the increasing num-
Der of assertions, do not permit us to doubt
that there is great discomfort and much
suffering within the rebel lines. There may
not be much Union feeling, but there is q
great deal of anti-confederate feeling, q
great deal of the natural desire to get away
from danger aud sickness and discomfort,
so long endured in failing cause. We do
not think that there is any deficiency of
food, but there is doubtless great lack of
transportation, and this amouats practical
" to the same thing.
All the promises with which the leaders
urged the southern states into rebellion
have failed. War has followed and Yam
KEGS, will fight, both of which they de-
clared to be impossible. Mr.. Toombs,
who was going to drink all the blood that
would be shed, has retired in disgust,
and is reported to De so hostile to the
confederate rule that he would be willing
to come back to the: Union. Many of those
who were certain that there would be no
war have fallen ameng its earliest victims,
and many who believed them still linger
reluctantly in the ranks. They are holding
out in the hope that Lincoln may be bea
ten, and peace Democrat may succeed
him, and give them "cessation of hostil
ties" which they we'll understand will be
followed by disuuiOn and the recognition
of southern independence. The hope OF
the rebellion is not in it's own arms but in
the copperheads of the north. They no
longer expect victory from Lee or Hood,
but they hope it will come with Mcclellan.

TIE Cincinnati Enquirer, the organ Of
Vallandigham, makes the following official
announcement:
GAS the Lincoln papers appear to be
somewhat concerned as to Mr.. Vallandig-
ham's position since the letter of accep
lance, we will relieve them by stating that
We have good authority for saying that he
will vote for Mcclellan and Peudieton."
The Enquirer itself, the most uncompro-
missing peace at. any price journal in the
West, has placed the names of Mcclellan
and PendIeton at the head of its columns
as its candidates. Also the leading McClel
Ian Journal in New York declares:
I'VE speak what we know when we say
that there will be no detection from the
ranks of the democratic party worth con.
sideriDg-no bolt worth counting"
Fernando Wood wrote on the 18th inst,
promising that he would shortly "add my
voice to the thousands who are now pre-.
pairing to elect George B. Mcclellan our
next President" and said : "He shall have
my earnest and determined support."-
Finally, by the following, which appeared
couspicuOusly in the Cincinnati Enquirer,
we are assured of the policy which General
Mcclellan, if elected, will pursue Messrs.
Long and Voorhees, are also, it seems, his
supporters:

matter in hand, and make this the campaign

IT has been reported recently, and appa
rently on good authority, that an agent
had arrived at Washington from Georgia,
authorized by some of the prominent cit
liens and officials of that State to consult
our government respecting the readmis-
sion of that State into the Union. The
following letter in the Georgia Consti
tutionaIist, from Jerome Dushaue, at Der.
muda, seems to indicate that Mr.. G. G..
Baylor may be the man:
ut was with surprise and modification
that heard a man calling himself G. g..
Baylor give public expression to senti
meuts that no true Southern man would
make use OF. He proclaimed publicly that
the Southern Confederacy was nothing
short of a military desPotism, and that
two thirds of the people of the South were
in favor of a reconstruction of the Union.
This man claimed to be a Commissioner
from the State of Georgia to France, and
so he registered his name here.
But it is currently reported here that he
holds a commission from certain parties in
Georgia and other states to the Lincoln
government to negotiate a peace on the
basis of reconstruction; and there is some
plausibility 10 this, for he does not associ
ate With southern men, but, on the contra
ry, he avoids them as much as possible
His most intimate acqsaiutagces are seve
rail- New York Yankees. He has also been
oloseted several times with the Yankee
Consul here. In fact his whole demeanor
goes to show that he is not u friend to the
southern cause"
The ConStitutEondiiSt, commenting on this
letter says says the "Southern Confedera
cy is peculiarly unfortunate in its selection
of foreign agents In. fact it has rendered
itself ridiculous by the jAckanapes sent
abroad as agents of one kind or the othe
er." The Georgia COuntrymdn denouuces
him as humbug and an ediot.

THE disposition which the Democrats
how at their ratification m eetings to avoid
all allusion to the most prominent plank in
their platform, is very noteworthy. They
abuse the ADMINISTRATION, they declare that
the north is chiefly to blame for the war,
they praise Mcclellan, they boast that the
Democratic party has made the nation
what it is, they indulge in all the stale
'PlaUitudes of Democratic campaign speech
es, but we have yet to see the report of
any speech, which dwells upon the propo.
sition to have cessation of hostilities and
negotiations with the enemy. One would
suppose that this would be the chief tonic
of discussion, the plank of all in the plat.
form chiefly deserving of their praise
But they shun the proposition as though
it embodied heresy. They are as silent
about it as though it contained their death
warrant. On hearing them no one would
ever suspect that it was TO be found in
their resolutions. The readers of such
papers as the Boston Post, would never
dream that the most prominent feature in
the Chicago declaration of principles is a
resolution in favor of cessation of hostil-
tiles with view to negotiating with the
rebels. Why this smazing reticeuce7 Why
this significant silence? Because, first and

The commercial mind of the country is
much disturbed in consequence of the un-
certainty that oVerhangs trade. The mar
ket reports show shakiness and gradual
tendency to come down in prices. The
tendency, however, is not precipItate in its
nature so far, but there is no telling how
Boon it may become SO. A decided military
success just now would induce panic in
the market and merchandise would be
thrown overheard at rash rate. Gold acts

TIE letter of Mcclellan is a gratifying
illustration of the force of public opinion.
The men who nominated him mean armes-
tice, a discreditable peace, substantially
submission to JEFF Davis. The Chicago
Convention met at a time of great public
depression aud discomfort. The delays of
our armies, the depreciation of the curren-
cy, the absence of any recent successes had
discouraged the public mind. Emboldened
by this, the convention declared more
plainly than its organs had before ventured
to. its real purpose, nothing less than
cessation of hostilities," which means,
of course, an abandonment of the war.
Toe resol utions contained no rebuke of the
rebellion or of the traitors that had inaug-
arated it, but denounced only the means
that had been employed to put it down.
But the brilliant successes of Farragut
and Sherman, the rapid recruitment of
of the army, and the improving condition
of affairs in Eastern Virginia, rallied the
public spirit and strengthened the general
indignation at the platform of the couveu-
ton. The public mind WAS less than ever
in a mood to accept surrender and
national humiliation as the result of
the long and terrible strife which the
country had sustained. One of the can
didates nominated was an avowed peace
man, whose sympathies with the south
we're no secret. He stood squarely on the
G., U;Rk
only fifteen Others he had voted in Con-
Congress against a resolution declaring
the duty of the people to crush the rebel
lion. This was not an exceptional vote.
1t was the expression of his uniform sen
timents against the war. With such a
platform and such candidate upon it,
the men who had put them forth, began
to see plainly, from the Indications of pub
lie opinion, that they had gone too far 10
the avowal of their real purpose. There
should have been, at least, veneering OF
patriotism over the thick substance of dis
loyalty of which the planks of the plat
70 IN were constructed.
So, after waiting nine days, they made
the candidate at the head of their ticket
write letter of acceptance, in which he
does not mention the platform. OF course
he could not repudiate it; of course his &C.
ceptauce is a virtual endorsement of it, but
he tries to bend it into significance that
it csu no more be twisted into than JEFF
Davis's inaugural could be twisted into
the ten commandments. he has succeeded
in showing that he and those whom he
represents are afraid of the platform; but
he has not succeed in throwing himself
from it. This he could only do by an act
of bolduess of which his past career has
afforded no example, and this would have
been to throw up the nomination itself, for
the nomination cannot be separated from
the platform. The same public sentiment
that has driven him into this false and
untenabIe position Wilt not fail to appre-
bend the full Importance of keeping the
government in the hands of those men
whose loyalty needs no explanation.
