ssTuE ONLY HUMANE RELATION. '-For two
Years mast the Southern newspapers have not
nressef the g cornerstone of the Confederacy
with a great deal of pertinAcity, and some of the
leaders of the rebellion have attempted to ignore
that part of their edifice. The Richmond Wing
is not one of this class. Denying charge which
some one had made, that it had declared that
.. slavery had stabbed itself to death, the Wing
o;ves utterance to this outrageous sentiment
Co far from believing that slavery die, have long
Lnb can sustain toarard capital When this war is
over shall that every Yankee VINO ventures 10 u
his foot on soil be made slave for life and wear an
ron collar as a badge of ineriorty to the African
The Wing undoubtedly reflects the dominant
continents of the rebels-the sentiment which
would mould the social and political economy of
the Government were the Confederacy destined
to be perpetuated. And in fighting the rebels
the loyal people are not simply lighting against
the success of an instruction, or against the
success of men ambitious for the power which Il
new nation might afford them. These, indeed,
are elements of the contest. But they are incl
dental when the rebellion is considered in the
whole extent of its ultimate consequences. With
the rebellion success, we have established on
this continent a Government whose policy Will
be dictated by the belief that Slavery is the
normal and only humane relation which labor
can sustain toward capital" In other words
that the mechanic and the laborer should be the
property of the capitalist who employs them'-
| The rebellion crushed out, and with it its sus-
tanning cause, slavery, and the death-blow Is
dealt to the monstrous and fallacious sentiment
of the above quotation. The war for the Union
is, therefore the peoples war, the poor man 5
war: and he that whispers that it should end
but in the utter overthrow of the rebellion, tho
restoration Of the revoted States to the sway OF
a Government based upon the principles OF the
Declaration of Independence and the destruction
of slavery, is the sworn enemy of every man who
earns his living by honest industry, and is just
as truly counseling for the enslavement OF labor
as is the Richmond Whig. The man who at TIM
day raises his voice to say good word either
for the rebels for slavery sends shaft at The
| bosom of free labor.

JOHN 7. JoEEs.-In personal review of the

pays our Senator the following very nice COM
pliment:
The head and face which would most probably
retract our first fixed gaze among the Senatorial
batch as embodying the finest type of manly
beauty, combined with marks of fair telectu-
atty, will introduce to you as John P. Jones
Senator from Trinity, and until the first Monday

observe that Mr. Jones has, naturally and unaided
| by tweezers, high and massive forehead, a well
balanced head, (phrenologicaly speaking1 which
sits squarely with jaunty. Independent air
upon his shoulders, a full, soft expressive dark
brown eye, fit to melt woman's heart and COM

the head and face of Mr.. Jones would be the first
to attract ninety-nine out Of every one hundred
observers, and those who would be encouraged

quantance. would not have their expectations
disappointed He will wear we'll and unless nv
old political head is sadly at fault we have not
yet heard the last, politically, of John P. Jones,
of Trinity Without being an orator, he has
candid, forcible manner of expressing himself
which invariably commands respectful attention
He never extensively intrudes opinions, nor will
he without struggle yield a position once as
sumed. If I am correct in assuming that in
visiting gallery embracing all the usual deni-
zens of the Senate Chamber, the personnel of the
gentleman just referred to would be the first to
attract your admiration.

staid during the battle of Antietam in which he
states that ON the night after the battle he sent
messenger to General Mcclellan asking per-
soual interview, and that in accordance with
that request Mcclellan rode through the lines

The Chicago Nomination.

The names of Geo. B. McClsllan and
Geo. Ell. Pendleton have been presented
to the people, by one Of the great parties
of the North, for the two highest Offices
within the gift Of the people and Of
course their names become public
: property, and their previous actions and
future promises the legitimate subject
of public discussion.
The name Of Geo. B. Mcclellan was
thought to be the strongest name that
could be hoisted to oppose that of Abra-
ham Lincoln, as he has been sufficiently
identified with the war to be known as a
war democrat, and consequently could
command the vote of the "war wing"
of the Democratic Party, besides secur-
ing the vote of great many Union
men who are not entirely satisfied with
the manner in which the government
has been administered the last four
years, but who are still determined to
crush rebellion and save the Union.
Since his removal from the Army of
the Potomac, his course has been such
as to commend him to the support of
the peace democrats; for during the
last year he has been the raHying point
of the most virulent opposition to the
vigorous prosecution of the war, and of
course would secure the entire vote of
the copperheads and rebels in the
North. Besides the party al its Con-
vention at Chicago were up to their old
trick compromising they tried to
compromise with the people by nomi-
mating war man on peace platform
to "split the difference" by nominating
one war man and one peace man for the
Offices of President and Vice President,
and thereby secure the election of both,
when they propose to compromise with
: the rebels in arms, and thereby establish
peace. cox
The worst feature in the party is the
fact that its success depends on the
failure of our armies, which is very
bad sign. If Grant and ,Farragut win
before the first of November, it is
foregone conclusion that Mcclellan will
be most gloriously defeated, for their
only possible hope Of rising to power is
az the country sinks; and as they are
so greedy for power, we may rest assured
they will do their utmost to place obsta-
Giles in the way of the successful and
speedy termination of the campaigns
against Richmond, Mobile and other
important points. Gen. Sherman in
capturing Atlanta has dealt severe
blow to the rebellion, and he has also
dealt an equally severe blow to the
Copperhead party. A few more such
blows would land both the rebellion
and the Copperhead party in its grave
God grant that they may come.

The 500, 600 Call Reduced.

BY an official dispatch from Secretary
Stanton, we see that the Presidents call
for FIVE hundred thousand men has been
reduced to three hundred thousand. This
it is. thought will be all that will be required
to swell our army to the needfull dimen-
sions. Gen. Grant only wants one hundred
thousand men to capture Richmond and
give finishing blow to the rebel forces yet
in the field. This is all he asks. Shall he
have them Yes, he shall, and more if
needed The Secretary of War is of the
opinion that two hundred thousand men
would be all that would be needed to garri-
son forts, guard lines of communication,
free the country from guerrillas, give secu-
rity to trade, protect commerce and travel,
and establish peace, order and tranquility
in every state.
This is highly encouraging and shows
that the rebellion is on the wane The
first call was for an insignificant number of
men, for very short period. But they
gradually became larger and for longer
time, until the requirement was five hun
dred thousand men, for three years, to be
furnished Immediately by volunteering or
draft. The present cali was for Eve hundred
. thousand for one year, which has now been
reduced to three hundred thousand, showing
that the United States has almost filled her

GEN. GRANT ON SLAvERY-Senator Will
sons quotation of Gen. Grants views of
slavery having been questioned, the follow
ing is given as the precise words used by
Gen. Grant in letter to Hon. E. B. Wash
burn, dat,d Aug. IS, 1854:
The people of the North need not quar-
rel over the institution Of slavery. What
Vice President Stephens acknowledges as
the corner stone of the Confederacy is
already knocked out. Slavery is already
dead, and cannot be resurrected. 1t would
take standing army to maintain slavery
in the south, if we were to make peace
to-day guaranteeing to the south all their
former constitutional privileges. | never
was an abolitianist, not even what would be
called anti-slavery, but try to judge fairly
and honestly, and it became patent to my
mind early in the rebellion that the North
and South could never live at peace with
each other except as one nation, and that
without slavery. AS anxious as I am to
see peace restored, | would not, therefore,
be willing to see any settlement until this
question is fovever settled.
