How THEY SPELL IT.-Recently our act
ing postmasters, Morg. Miller and Charles
Service, were oyerhauling the dead letters,
for the purpose Of forwarding them to the
proper officer at Washington, and they took
occasion to note down the different ways that
Austin was spelled BY numerous correspond
ents, and found that out of three hundred
and twenty letters, it was spelled twelve diff
ferent ways, which were as follows: Aston
City, Ostion, Austoon, Asteon, Oyesten,
Aweston, Upton City, Lander county. AYES
ten, Hoston City, Abstain, Astin, Osten CITY
and Aostin, and a great many were directed !:
Reese River Landey, North America" and
one bore the following superscription, omit
ting the name of the person addressed: "Os-
ten City, Reese River Mining District, Lam
der county, Nevada, State of California,
North America" or course the most Of
even the we'll informed and intelligent por-
ton Of the population, as a general thing,
have but a very vague idea where Nevada is
situated, and know nothing at all of our
Young city. But this will not be the case
another year, should our citizens take the
proper means, the ensuing winter, to have
our country and mines properly set before
the people of the Eastern States. This will
do more to cause capital and immigration to
flow here, than anything else that could be
done, and would put US at least three years
IN advance Of what we will be, should we
neglect it. Our city il destined, undoubtedly,
to be the second in population and first in
wealth, on this coast, and that will be in less
than hye years, if we will expend few
thousand dollars judiciously, this winter, m
giving the people at large, in the States, some
idea Of the richness Of our country. both for
minerals and asriculture.-R. r. Rsreiae.

Their Candidate.

George B. Mcclellan, the candidate Of the
Democratic" party for President, has, in
various places and on different occasions,
proclaimed himself "war man, previous
10 receiving his nomination at Chicago.
The Copperheads, however, claim that they
have placed him on a peace platform,
and that he will be bound BY it. On the 18th
Of June last, Mcclellan, in the course Of
speech delivered at West Point, New YORK,
said:
ITO efface the insult TO our hag, TO secure
ourselves from the fate Of the divided repub-
lies of Italy and South America, to preserve
our Government from destruction, to enforce
il, lust power and laws, to maintain our very
existence as Nation-these were the causes
which impelled US to draw the sword. Re
bellion against Governmental like ours, which
conrains the means for establishment and
pacific remedy for evils, should never be con-
founded with a revolution against despotle
power which refuses redress of wrongs.
Such rebellion cannot be justified upon ethi-
cal grounds, and the only alternatives for our
choice are its suppression or the destruction
Of our nationality. At such time as this,
and in such a struggle, political partnership
should be merged IN a true and brave patriot
ism, which thinks only OF the good of the
whole country. It was IN this cause, and
with these motives that so many Of our COM
rsdes have given their lives, and TO this we
are all personally pledged, in all honor and
fidelity. Shall such devotion as that Of our
dead comrades be Of no avail: Shall it be
said in after ages that we lacked the yigor to
cornplete the work thus beguns That after
ali these noble lives freely given, we hesita-,
ted and failed to keep straight on until our
land was saved: Forbid It, Heaven, and
give US frmer, truer hearts than that! Oh,
spirits of the valiant dead, souls Of eur slain
heroes, lend US your indomitable will, and if
il be permitted you to commune with those
still chained by the trammels OF mortality,
hover around US in the midst Of danger and
tribulation; cheer the firm, strengthen the
weak, that none may doubt the salvation Of
the republic and the triumph Of our grand
old flag"
Can he eat his own words can he accept
and endorse the Chicago "peace platform
after publicly giving utterance to the language
above quoted Dare he repudiate his former
acts and assertions and accept a nomination
from the friends of the rebellion, and endorse
their vile, reasonable platform: We say he
cannot, without irrevocably damning himself,
even in the ewes Of the Democrats" as
man entirely void of principle, who is ready
70 accept Of chance for aggrandizement, on
any terms. Mcclellan will be despised even
by the very Democrats" who will be bound
10 support him if he accepts-as by that ae-
ceptance heranks himself among the enemies
Of the country, and his former professions Of
loyalty but prove him falsehearted, design
ing and inscriptions man. The traitor
organs on this coast have all hoisted his
name.-Los angeles Netcs.

ION THE HIP

1t is hardly, under ordinary cireum-
stances, manly to crow over fallen foe;
but when that foe has been so internally
mean and so outrageously arrogant as the
one with whom the American nation has
been contending for the past three years,
it is natural to delight in his misery. We
all know what the "haughty Southrons"
thought of themselves in that elder day,
when the elite of the South came prancing
to Manassas with their famous Black
Horse Cavalry, and when lone South
ern gentleman was more than match for
five Yankees" but we should liketo know
what the Huguenots and Cavaliers think
of themselves and things in general Just
about this time. Had the cause in which
these Southern Gascons fought and failed
been more holy, the historian might have
written an eloquent and pathetic eulogy
over the names of the chiyalrous dead. A
brave and dashing host were they, who in
July '6l rode forth to sweep before them
the plebeian Northern horde, to water
their horses in the Potomac, TO winter in
Philadelphia, cut big crop of hay the
next spring in Broadway, and when the
chestnuts should fall in Autumn, call the
roll of their slaves beneath the towering
shaft of Bunker's Hill. A gallant sight
were they, and, in a just cause, worthy OF
fair women's smiles and brave mems SYM
pathy. Where are they now: Go ask
the winds that howl over the bleak desert
of desolation that stretches from the Po-
tomac to the Rio Grande, and means its re-
QUEEN along the shore, across the main, to
Cherbourg offns. "Woe is me, Alhama"
The dead host of Senacharib who, on that
dread morning, lay stark and stiff on the
sands of Gallilee, were scarce more
striking picture of mans proudest inso-
lence and power scattered and strown be-
fore the destroying breath of an avengmg
God. than is the dead army of Rebellion
to-day. Of all that proud and scornful
host, what miserable remnant stands. IN
shattered array, opposed to the nation,
that with all its fearful losses, feels not
the loss, and still shows, to the eyes Of the
world. the mightiest army that that world
ever saw, and the best maintained. The
story of the past sixty days has been the
story of the rebelion's death. If the foul
cause has, this day, an army left, where
is it. If 1t has political status among
the nations of the earth, what is it: If it
has foreign friend, who is it: Well
may the rebel press, speaking for the rebel
people talk Of gloom" The dog IS

How McCLELLAN's NOMINATION WAS
RECEIVED IN LoNpoS.-The Daily Ne'rs
says: In the presence Of the great move
ments in the field, the proceedings Of the
Chicago Convention are of much less i'm
portance than they otherwise might be.
McClellan's platform is friendly to the
Union with an effort for its pacific re-
establishment. In point Of fidelity the
Democrats cannot compare with the Re-
pubIcans, while nothing could be weaker
than vague aspirations after peace.

To Gen. Dix, N. Y.
A dispatch from Gen. Sherman re-

fighting for Rocky face Ridge: and
that Mcpherson took Snake Greek Gap,
and was seven miles from Reseca this
morning.
On Saturday the rebels we're forced
from Tunnel Hill by Thomas, and took
position at Buzzard's Roost just north
of Dalton. This is represented as a
very strong position, from which Thom-
us was unable to drive the enemy on
former occasions
Reseca is on the rail road about. IL
miles south of Dalton. This will I lace
Mcpherson with strong corps in the
enemy's rear while Thomas advances
