The VIPER WARNED 10 LEE.

The traitors of the South drive away all

the North cry out, "behold united people r
The loyal people of the North not only per-
init all the disunion citizens TO remain and
work for the traitors but they allow the trait
ors of the South to come to the North for
residence, adding their influence to the opposi-
tion, and the copperheads exclaim, "bebold a
divided North ~ Even some Union citizens
among us feel discouraged in view of the fact
that we are divided and they are united
Such persons are sbort-sighted for had we
pursued the Southern method. we should have
a United North, and probably, also, South
united with us, in common Union. The
loyal people are constantly being insulted for
the privileges they have extended to The enc
mics Of the Union. 1--WE are a divided

The ORAFr.-The draft is now progressing
in some localities. 1t commenced in two of
the New York Congressional dist ricts
Wednesday and in Ohio and other States that
have not filled their quotas will begin next
Monday. The localities in which the greatest
delinquency exists will be first to receive at
tention; and, in accordance with this rule,
those townships in this county and elsewhere
in which nothing was done toward raising
men by volunteering, will not long remain in
doubt as to what will be required of them in
the way of producing the number assigned
them in another maDner.

SECRETARY STANToN,s BULLETIN.
WAR DEPARTMENT. WASHINGTON,
Sp0t IA 1874
Maj.-Gep1 Dir

Maj Gen Di1:
Lieut.. Gen. Grant telegrapbs this Depart
ment in respect to the draft as follows:
CRY PoINT, Sept. l3-l0:30 A..
Hon. E. II. Stanton, tSec'y of Var:
We ought to have the whole number of
men called for by the President in the short
est possible time. Prompt action in filling
our armies will have more effect On the enc
nv than victory over them. They profess
TO believe, and make their men believe, there
is such party North in favor Of recognizing
Southern independence, that the draft cannot
be enforced Let them be undeceived. De-
serters come into our lines daily, who tell us
that the men are nearly universally tired Of
the war, and that desertions would be much
more frequent but they believe peace will be
negotiated after the fall election. The en-
forcement of the draft and prompt filing up
Of our rmies, will save the shedding Of blood
TO an immense extent.
[Signedl Q. S. GRANT,
Lieut.. General.
The following telegram has been received
from Gen Sherman, on the same subject:
ATLANTA, 6:2O P. NJ, Sept. l3
Hon E. a. Stanton, Secretary Of War:
am very glad to hear the draft will be en-
forced; 1st, we need the men; I'd, they come
as privates TO 6l our old and tried regiments,
with their experienced officer already on hand;
and Sd, because the enforcement of the law
will manifest power resident in our Govern.
ment equal to the occasion. Our Government,
though democracy, should, in time OF trouble
and danger, be able to WELD the power Of a
great Nation. All well.
[Signed, W. T. SHERMAN.
The draft is ordered to commence in all the
States and Districts where the quota is not
filed by volunteers, Oh Monday, the 18th,
and will go on until completed. Volunteers
and substitutes will be received and credited
to as late period as possible. Volunteering
is still progressing with vigor in most of the
States.

| CoMMoTIoN IN THE CoPPERHEAD CAMP
There is sad commOtion in the camp of the
eopperheads. The lettsr of Mcclellan, which
has so rejoiced the war Democrats, has added
to and intensified this despondency and tribu-
lation which his nomination caused in the
ranks of the peace" men. Vallandigham,
who was permitted to draw up the platform
| in consideration of agreeing to support the
nominee, bolts outright and has withdrawn
long list of appointments to speak in behalf of
Mcclellan. The NelO York Daily Nesos, edi-
ted by Ben. Wood, the Metropolitan Record
the Frseman's Journal, and Medary's Crisis,
all prominent peace or cOpperhead organs,
repudiate the letter and bolt the nominee
A general convocation of the leaders in this
State was in session Monday and Tuesday at
Columbus, and after protracted debate resol-
we'd by mojority of ttUO to adhere to the
nomination and swallow the bitter pill present
ed to them by the candidate foisted upon the
party by Belmont &CO.; but it is unde rstood
sbat notwithstanding the vote Vallandigham,
Medary and Long are still contumacous, and
are determined to rebel at all hazards. 10 the
last number of his "Crsis" Medary deuounces
The letter in unmeasured terms, and says:
"If we stood alone in the West in 1861 in

ROT A WORD AGAINST SOUTHERN TRAITORS.

The Chicago Tribune speaking of the cop
perhead convention there says:-

ed in the city during the past three or four
days, in which Lincoln has been denounced as
everything that is vile, wickid and tyranncal
not single word has been uttered in denun-
citation of Southern Traitors no, not a word
Nothing has been said against Jefferson Da-
Wis, bat the very con,rary-sOme OF the speak
ers having even asserted that the rebel chief
was more loyal man than the President OF
the United States Comment is unnecessary.
These Democratic speakers are mere allies OF

The UNION Mass MEEr1NG-Po POSTPONE
MENT.-The Union Rally announced to come
of at this place next Thursday, 22d inst, has
been postponed. The speakers named could
not possibly be procured, nor could any of
those now engaged in canvassing the State be
with certainty relied upon to be with US at
that time; and rather than run the risk OF dis
appointment the State Committee deemed it
best not to make the announcement. We are
now promised a meeting some time from he
first to the tenth OF October, with able speak
ers. When the matter is definitely arranged.
the announcement will be officially made

Still MORE OF IT.-The E liIor of the Brit
ish American had conversation With an Of
fcer of the pirate Tallahassee at Kingston,
Canada, and reports him as saying:
That the opinion was universal among his
people that the present campaign was the final
one of the war-the South only requiring 10
hold their own during the Presidential canvass
at the North, which would ensure the success
of the Copperhead candidate, and immediate
negotiations for peace on the basis of South
ern independence.
Delaware gazette. [volume] (Delaware, Ohio) 1855-1886, 1864-09-16

The rebels seem to be duly impressed with
the conviction that their successes are aids to
the prospects of the opponents of the Union
cause, and that Union triumphs in the field
are equivalent to the defeat at the polls of
those who sympathise with them at the North.
A few days before Sherman drove Hood from
Atlanta, the Appeal. published in that city.
thus spoke Of the political significance of the
pending contest for possession of the city:
"The greatest contest of the war will pro-
badly be fought in the immediate vicinity OF
Atlanta. rs result deferm ines that Of the pend
ing Northern Presidential election. IF zoe
are victorious, the Peace party aO.H triumph,
Lincon's administration is a failure and South
ern independence is the immediate result.
While we are not disposed te under estimate
The importance of holding Atlanta as a stra-
getic position, yet the fate Of the city itself is
of minor import, when compared with other
necessary national results"

GEN. GRANT ON THE SITUATIoN.-We give
in another column an important letter from
Lieut.. General GRANT, on the. situation. 1t
has the true ring, and should serve as an ad-
ditiOnal incentive to activity on the part of
the friends Of the Union 10 order to secure an
overwhelming victory at the polls. The re-
election of President Lincoln will be a fatal
blow to the rebellion, as the only remaining
hope Of the rebel leaders is his d e.
feat and the success of peace or submission
candidate. Whatever disasters they may
sustain ia the field, the hope Of bene-
6t from the election will induce them to hold
ont till its result is ascertained, and decisive
Union victory viii be blow from which re-
eOvery will be impossible.

A POWERFUL LETTER FROM GEN. GRANT.

The following is an extract OF letter from
LieuteDant-Generai Grant, dated Head Quar-
ters, City Point, Va, Sept. 9th:
To Hon. E. B. Washburn:
DEAR SIR:-I state to all citizens who vis-
it me, that all we want now to ensure an ear.
~ restoration OF the Union is DETERMINED
UNITY OF SENTIMENT IN THE NORTH. The reb-
els have now in their ranks THAR last man.
The boys and old men are guarding prisoners
and railroad bridges, and forming good part
in their garrsons for entrenched positions
Any mao lost by them cannot be replaced
They haUe robbed the cradle and the grace
equally TO get their present force. Besides
what they lose in frequent skirmshes and bat
ties they are now losing from deserlions and
other causes at least one regiment per day
With this drain upon them, the day is not far
distant, if fys are only true to ourselves.
Their only hope now is 10 divided North.
This might give them rernforcements from
Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri,
while it would weaken US. With the draft
quietly enforced, the enemy would become de-
spondent, ami would make but little resistance.
have no doubt but the enemy are exceeding
ly anxious to hold out until after the Presden-
tial election. They have many hopes from its
effects. They hope for a counter revolution.
They hope for the election of the peace candi-
date; in fact, like Macawber, they hope for
something to turn up
Our peace friends, if they expect peace from
separation they are much mistaken. 1t would
be but the beginning of war, with thousands
of Northern meI joining the South because of
IL oil bot
peace on any terms, the South would demand
the restoration of their slaves already freed
They would demand indemnity for losses sus
tanned; and they would demand treaty which
would make the North slave hunters for the
South. Yours truly,

DEMOCRATIC DocUMENTs.-We publish to-
day two important Democratic documents -
the platform adopted by the Chicago Con-
vention, aud the letter of Geo. r. Mcclellan
accepting the nomination.
The platform is universally conceded to be
most miserable abortion, as weak as it is cow
ardly. Read it attentively, and see how ut
terly it ignores the existence of the rebellion
not even alluding to it. or having a word to
say in condemnation of its authers and lead
ers-all their invective being expended upon
the President and those aiding him in his ef-
forts to preserve the government and our
cherished Institutions, 1t proposes the "im
mediate cessation Of hostilities," which means
and was intended to mean by those who got
it up, absolute surrender TO the rebels. Its
affected sympathy for the soldiers will be
properly appreciated by the brave boys, as
they are not ignorant of the real sentiments
of those who thus insult them in regard to
themselves and the cause 10 which they are
engaged; and csnnot, if they would, forget
their actions, which speak louder than words,
in regard to all efforts made of la'e to minis
ter to the wants. ameliorate the sufferings of
soldiers, and aid their families. The getters up
of these resolutions ofsympathy were actuated
by desire to secure the votes of the soldiers,
but those they strive to thus dupe are well
posted and will not be unmindfuI, when de-
posting their ballots, of the strenuous efforts
of these sympathizers to deprive them of the
right of suffrage because Of their being absent
from home fighting for their imperied country.
The letter OF Mcclellan, though artfally
wOrded and intended to conciliate the authors
of the platform, in reality repudiates and spits
upon it and that it is so regarded by the
copperheads, the present commotion in their
camps and positive boiling by prominent pa
pers and leaders, abundantly demonstrates
OF course it is highly satisfactory TO the war
Democrats, but as the cepperheads ara the
controlling element in the party in the West
ern States, serious detection amongst them,
which now seems inevitable, will utterly de-
stroy what little hope of success was engen-
dered by the noise made at Chicago by Bel
mont, his brass bands, fireworks. and numer-
GUS retinue of city roughs hired for the occasion
