Rebel Captured.

On Monday evening last, at Newport,
Perry county Pa, Captain John Hartzel
captured an out-and-out live rebel, who
was making his way as rapidly as posi-
BILE to join his comrades at Richmond
He gave his name as Thos. ID. Slack, and
said he belonged to the 7th Louisiana Ii
gers; had been captured in one of the
Wilderness battles, had been taken to
Point Lookout and from there to Elmira,
n. Y, from whence he with one of his
comrades escaped by overpowering the
sentinel. Tiger was dressed in full rebel
uniform and was impudently loud in his
laudations Of the shareholders rebellion
and its army; expressing himself as very
anxious to rejoin it in the field. This
last expression, with his butternut dress,
were such certain indications he was not
an indigenous rebel, that the officer above
named took him into custody, brought
him to Carlisle and handed him over to
Colonel Henderson, who locked him up
in Jail until next morning, when he was
remanded to the custody of the Provost
Marshal General of the State.
In his simplicity the captor of this reb-
ell says he was afraid for some time of be-
ing made the victim of hoax, for al
though his prisoners talk was quite as
ultra and brazenly rebel as any he had
ever heard from prisoners in the field yet
he had heard so much of the same ilk in
Pennsylvania, since his return from the
army. that he suspected this might be only
a Copperhead, whose intense affection for
the Southern brethren had induced him
to don the gray livery of treason. Isn't
it funny that live rebel should be mis-
taken for harmless Pennsylvania Cop
perhead, just because both birds sing the
same SONG = Carlisle HernM.

E~Tle Com

s|~The COppcrheads in different parts
cf the State are electioneering against the
constitutional amendment allowing the
soldiers to vote on the ground that there
arc negro soldiers, and it would let them
vote. This of course is ridiculous, as the
amendment only gives the right of such
soldiers to vote who are voters at home
and, as it is we'll known, the Constitution
restricts the right of suffrage to wAie CT
zenS.
Talking Of negroes voting, good anee-
dOte is told at the expense of Cop. One
of them approaching Democrat of the
real stripe said:
"Look here, Sam, we must all turn out
in August next and vote against the sol
diers voting amendment"
"Why so, John 2" replied the other.
because" said the Cop, ''if we allow
rhife soldiers to vote we must allow ne
gro soldiers also. and what would you
think to see strapping negro voting for
lincoln and thus killing Democrats 5
vote for Mcclellan ?'
"Why I'd think that the aa,9,r had
more sense and patriotism than the Nc
Clellan man, that's all"
The Copperhead beat hasty retreat.

wounded on the field. Our loss will
reach 1000 men, principally in Hookers $
corps. The Rebel loss in killed, wound
ed and missing exceeds 6,000, including
three Brigadier-Generals.
On the extreme left our operations
we're equally successful. Mcpherson
drove the enemy several miles, and
Blair's division advanced mile and a
half south of the Augusta road.
On the morning of the 21st, the enemy
was driven with small loss to his works
Immediately around Atlanta.
On the 22d they had withdrawn entire
" from Gems. Hooker and Palmer
front
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of that
day, portions of our army entered the ci
ty.
The correspondent adds: We may
have some fighting for the full possession
of the city, but the campaign is consld
cred as substantially closed.
A report, believed to be trustworthy
announces the occupation of Montgome
ry, Ala, by Gen. Rousseau.
Louisville, July "A, 1864.
The Journal announces the occupation
of Atlanta by our forces on Friday. Ih'
Rebels loss in killed, wounded and miss

The Recent Peace Propositions.

About ten days ago, few dila apidated
Southern Politicians, with George n. San
ders at their head, assembled in Canada
After good deal of bobbing around, and
some consultation with the leading members
of the Copperhead fraternity of the North,
they dropped note to Horace Greely, In
sinuating that they were duly authorized to
act for the Rebel Government in arranging
terms of peace, and desiring him to secure
them safe conduct to and from Washington
Mr.. Greely Immediately telegraphed the
matter to the government, and, in reply.
received directions to forward the Commis-
sioners as they desired, provided they were
really clothed with powers as they pretended
to be. Mr.. Greely Immediately forwarded the
reply Of the Government TO the Rebel wor-
thies, which drew from them the confession
that they had no authority to act for the Con-
federate Government, but that they had nc
doubt Of their ability to obtain such authori-
ty provided they were afforded opportunity
20 confer with the authorities at Richmond.
Thus it was shown that Sanders & Co. were
acting on their own hook, and that any ar
rangement of plan for peaceful settlement
ofour difficulties, if it did not suit the Rebel
Government, could be rejected by it, on the
ground that no one had been authorized to
act for it. Uncle Abraham, therefore, very
properly nipped this little piece Rebel dplo-
macy in the bud, by sending forth the follow
ing as his ultimatum:
"To WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN:
Z" Any proposition which embraces the res
toration of peace, the integrity of the whole
Union, and the abandonment of Slavery, and
which comes by and with an authority that
can control the armies now at war against
the United States, will be received and con-
sidered by the Executive Government of the
United States, and viii be met by liberal
terms, on other substantial and collateral
points, and the bearer or bearers thereof shall
Aaye safe conduct both WAYS
ABRAHAM LINCOLN"
This, at once, closed the door against Reb-
el intrigue, and opened it wide for fair and
honorabie consideration Of the best means of
restoring the country to its former harmony.
II is unnecessary for US to comment farther
than to say that neither the Rebels nor their
natural allies, the Copperheads, are pleased
sith Uncle AbrahaIn's honest bluntness.
