IT is somewhat singular circumstance
that the political party which pretends to
be peculiarly the friend of the soldier, is
now making much greater ''fuss" over
the return of one hundred day men than
was made over the return of three year
veterans. The reason, however, is obvious
there Is an election near at hand and the
politicians of the Abolition party are sim
ply electioneering with the soldiers, most
of whom. however, are trife too smart
to be cheated by such humbug pstriotism
as stay-at-home Abolitionists are capable of
displaying.

DR.. LIeHrHILL-Dear Sir:--l have suffered thirty
years with that distressing disease known as ga,
tarrh and as IL ere is so much Of tin this locality
wish to point out the channel through whlcn op-
tanned relief, tina, others as upfGrtunate as nave
been may have the like opportunity.
The disease took such hold on my system that,
from being comparatively strong and healthy, De,
came very weak and much depressed ii. spirits, and
was in this condition when hearing Of the success
attending DIR. Lighthill's method of treating "a
tarrh, resolved at once to place myself under ms
care This | did, and now, after seven weeks OF
treatment, find myself SO much relieved and i'm
proved in general health that cannot refrain from

shtt.e CHICAGO. August %.

'ht- CHICAGO, August 20.
Arriving here from the East late this af-
ternoon, can add but little to the dispatch
es already furnished you. The FASTEST
passage through the streets. however, is
sufficient to convince one alike of the en-
thusiasm and of the imposing size of the
assembling crowds. 1t Is u fact useless to
be disguised, and it is to be wished that
every friend of the Administration would
consider, as personally concerning himself,
that the crowd here, three days before the
time, Is far greater than was in Baltimore
only the evening before the Union Conven-
ton assembled. What It will grow to by
Monday. can only be conjectured. The
evening" train from the East had twelve
heavy laden cars, and was six hours behind,
while couple of extras followed close be-
hind it TO gather up the passengers 1t could
not carry. This evening trains heavily
laden continue to come in from all quarters.

and of the Press. In short, 1t will give to
the Nominees of the Democratic National

becile and. contemplate Administration
that is now by its unconstitutional acts OF
Tyranny and Usurpation attempting to
fasten upon this people Despotism more
degrading than that of the worst Despot
who ever dsgraced throne in the Old
World or the New.
Will our Democratic exchanges please
notice editorially this enterprise?

campaign, at least. Send tor specimen

AN ARMISTICE.

The New York Herald proposes an armlstice as
a trick to cireumvent the Confederate authorities
to strengthen the war party in the United states,
to reorganZe and recruit their armies, TO deceive
their people and to delude foreign nations. We
propose armstice as genuine peace measure
to be preceded by the recognition OF our national
ity and to be followed Immediately by the evacua-
ton of all the States of this Confederacy, including
forts and fortified places, and by the raising OF the
blockade Such an armistice may be followed by
a convention for discussing any proposition that
either party may submit-Having most reluctant
" accepted the war forced upon us by the United
States eur people can too proudly point to the past
to fear any future discussion in convention. A
convention between representatives or diplomats
will be required at not distant day, and must
eventually terminate this wicked, useless and cruel
war We therefore cordially agree to Conven-
ton-but not Of States The power to hold Con-
vention Of the States to discuss propositions of
peace or war, is unconstitutional in both govern
ments, and will not be tolerated by the States of
ths Confederacy. The President, by and with
the advice and consent of the Senate, Is empower
ed to make treaties-and these authorities alone
will discuss by proper representatives, the propo-
stion before the proposed Convd ntion. !
Mr. Lincoln can have armistice but he must
take his armstice, and his armies and his fleets
and clear out to his own country. If we are to
have4hs armies and navies upon us during the
armi.tice, we prefer fighting them. We would
not be understood as rejecting anything looking to
peace. and 10 order TO give peace fair start, can
dor to our enemies eompes US to lay down the con-
ditions upon which an armistice will be accepted

ORDER FROM GEN. LEE.

HEADo's ARMY No Va, Aug 10, 1864.
All persons connected with this army, who are
absent without proper authority, are enjoined to
return to their respective commands without de-
lay.
This order is intended to embrace those who
have remained absent beyond the time limited for
their return, or after the cause of their absence
has ceased. All such persons are admo9ished that
every day they remain away from their posts adds
to the dangers and lsbors of their comrades, while
it increases their own responsibility to the laws
they are violating.
The Commanding General deems it only neces-
sary TO remind those who have erred through
thoughtIessuess or negligence, OF the shame and
disgrace they will bring upon themselves and their
families, if they shrink from the maniu discharge
of duty in the hour of their country's need, aud
leave their homes to be defended and their indie
pendence to be secured By the unaded courage of
others.
To those whose absence has been prolonged un-
til they have incurred the guilt of desertion,. he
can only say that a,prompt and voluntary return
to duty alone can palate their offence and enttle
the N to expect any clemency.
Ifarrested and brought back justice to the faith
full and true as we'll as the interests and safety of
the country requires that they shall suffer the ex-
treme penalty of the law.
