On a train coming up from Nashville, Tues
day, on which were 1877 soldiers, vote was
taken for the Presidency, resulting thus: Lin
coin, 65; Mcclellan, 12; Fremont, L. Some of
these soldiers declined to vote The soldiers
will go strong for the reelection of cold Abe.
ASTRAw.-The l1th Michigan Cavalry took
a vote few days since, for President, with the
following results: Lincoln 452; Fremont, ID;
Mcclellan, A. That is an indication of how the
soldiers will speak in November next.

The Old wheel Horse on mcclellan.

A few days previous to the meeting of the
Chicago Convention, the Crisis, published at
Columbus by Sam. Medary, contained the fol-
lowing:
''It is well known that Gen. Mcclellan has
not one spark of pretentiOns to the Presidency
except what he has made out of this war under
Mr.. Lincoln, He NEVER HELD CIVIL OFFICE
IN HIS LIFE, and was unknown to the public
when Governor Dennison brought him forward
as military man. Yet in three years, as a mere
soldier, he rises to the demands of the Presi-
dency, 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 ex-
pense of the 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"
If the above was true just before that Con-
vention tits true now. To put beyond all pos
sibility (ofwhich we do not think there is any)
of elevating so incompetent man to the Pres
idency, let every Democrat vote for honest Old
Abe, who has shown wisdom and statesman
ship thus far through his Presidential term new
er surpassed by any man. No time now to trade
off man like Mr., Lincoln for one who ''neyer
held civil Office in his life' To do so, the
people would certainly find that they had paid

PATRIOTS OR TRAITORS.

Itwas well and truly said by Stephen A.
Douglas, that at such a time as this there could
be but two parties Patriots or Traitors" If
man is patriot, he viii have the good of his
country at heart. He viii shape and order his
every act, word, and thought for the benefit and
support of his country and its welfare. He will
not in words declare his devotion to it while his
acts proclaim him traitor, and engaged in
seeking its overthrow. BY mems actions we
Judge them. We hear men every day proclaim
themselves Union men, while their acts show
| their depravity of heart and soul. They are
| traitors. They seek TO deceive and by their
deception and baseness lead some honest, un-
suspecting Union men into the ways and acts OF
their own reasonable associates. The only
hope traitors have of being successful now is by
falsehoOd, and by every species of deception
The only hope left for JEFF. Davis and his CO.
traitors in the South, is by dividing the Union
men of the North. COpperheads will deceive
1t is their only hope from a speedy Judgment
and execution. If they can prolong the war
and elect their candidate for President, they
hope to be able by the lie Of peace to conciliate
the South. God save the people of this nation
from such astate of things. A peace upon such
basis would be volcano beneath the nation
which would soon burst out with ten fold more
violence and devastation than has ever before
been witnessed upon the face of the earth.
Union men, stand fast TO your principles. -
Stand by the Administration. Stand by the
President, who is honest and faithful, and by
the help of God and honest men will bring the
Old Ship Constitution safely into port. Stand
by the Union men who are nominated for the
fairs. Let COpperheads and traitors rave. Pa
! triots shall conquer and put down all treason.

WASHINGTON Sept. 3-S r. NJ,

To Gen. DiS:
No intelligence from Atlanta later than Now
York kilograms oflast night has been received.
Telegraph lines between Nashville aud Chat
tanooga were broken last night by Wheeler and
we have had nothing South of N ashville to-day.
This accounts for the absence of later informa-
tion from Atlanta No doubt is entertained Of
the correctness of the report received last night
which came from two Independent sources, be-
sides the official dispatches of General Slocun.
Unofficial reports this evening from Nashville
state that the damage done by Wheeler to the
Railroad will be repaired, that Wheeler had re-
treated and General Rosseau's forces had taken
their place.
The rebel General Kelly who was mortally
wounded is in our hands.
General Sheridan states that Early has re-
treated up the Shenandoah Valley and is pur-
sued by Sheridan with his whole army.
Averill had attacked Vaughan 3 cavalry, cap
tured 90 wagons, two battle-flags a number of
prisoners and herd of cattle.

To MAJ. Gen. DiG:
a Adispatch from Gen Grant Just received, gives
statement from the Richmond Examiner OF
this morning, that John Morgan was surprised
and killed and his staff captured, at Greenville,
Tenn. yesterday.
An unofficial dispatch was received by this
Department this morning from Lexington, KY,
stating that Gen. Allen had officially reported
the surprise and defeat OF John Morgan at Green
vile, and that john Morgan was killed, his staff
captured, from so to 100 rebels killed, and 20
prisoners and one gun captured. This report
being confirmed by the Richmond Examiner
leaves no room for doubt.

The END OF TIE WAR-We are asked fifty times
q day, more or less, when We think the war will
end As we have no right to think, in the absence
Of data to think upon, we are sometimes at loss
for an answer. However. for the information Of
those who are particularly inquisitive and anx-
ious upon the subject, we will relate dream that
friend of ours had upon the duration of the war.
which may throw some light upon the subject. He
dreamed that he awoke from dream of ffty years,
ana found himself upon the south bank of the Rap.
idan. He saw at . little distance from the spot
where he awoke Corporal with II men and
wheelbarrow. He approached and asked the Cor
poral what this little gathering nee nt "This,"
replied the Corporal is the Army of Northern Viz
ginia." "Where are the Yankees?" inquired our
friend. "They are on the other side of the river"
replied the Corporal. "They have the advantage
of US in numbers and transportation-as they have
21 men and two wheelbarrows-butw We expect to
get the advantage in position, will whip them and
then the war will end"
As this is the best and all the information we
have about the probable duration Of the war, We
give it free gratis for nothing at all-Abingdon
Virginidn.
