Tke DEumforG Fund.

All our readers viii recollect the hanging Of the
gallant MUNF0RD, in New OrItans, by Beast Butler
because the ormr hauled down the Federal flag which
a Yankee detachment had hoisted the Custom House
1t was an atrocoas murder, aud considered by our
Government, which has placed Butler under the ban
of outlawry.
We see by the papers that the widow of Mr.. Mum
FORD, with her orphan Children has arrived in Rich
mond. BY the fall Of New Orleans and the murder of
her husband, she was leit"without and without
q protector The care Of the wife aud children of the
martyr MUMEoRD devoves upon the country. 4 fund
is being raised to provide for them.
Mr.. MUNFORD was native of ODelOw county,. in
this State, and well known to many persons in Viii.
miDgton and elsewhere in this section Of his native
State. We trust that liberal contribution to the
MUMFoRp fund will be made in Wilmington and the
surrounding country.
Messrs E. SALOMoN ard d. &. LABATT, citizens Q
New Orleans resident here, have charged Themselves
with collecting fund il this place for the relief of th

Organize for November.

Whatever may have been the dis
fractions in the opposition party here
tofore, it is safe to assume that they
were, ostensbly, healed in the wigwam
at Chicago. Every newspaper that we
see gives us warning that the oppo-
sitionists are on the alert for the No
vember Election.
The contest before us is one of the
grandest contests that could occupy
the thought or stir the heart Of n free
man. Party lines must be drawn dis
tinctly now. A man is either for sup
pressing the rebellion or for yielding
TO the demands of the rebels, is either
for putting down the rebellion by force
of arms, or stopping it and running
the chances Of Southern Confedera-
cy, reconstruction, and broken Union.
The thought of dismembered Union
saddens every loyal heart.
Win patriotic freemen quietly pur-
sue their usual avocations for the next
two months and give no thought to the
impending danger that menaces the
nation? Then they are unworthy of
Che name of American citizens. If
you would rebuke treason at all times
and places, you must be alive-you
must organize. Holdpreliminary meet
ings, circulate campaign documents.
Talk over the war, It's condition and
prospective view, and also the pro-
posed traitorous policy of the Chicago
platform. BE valiant, honest, earnest
and neyer-ceasing in your efforts to
Sustain the country in its dark hour of
trial. Remember that n few hard
working men influence town nightly,
and although you may have truth, patri-
etism and liberty on your side, they
amount to nothing without wide
awake, go-ahead life-inspiring organi
zation, System is the base of success
in politics as business Wait for no
State or National Committee. See
that your district or town is taken care
Of, and you are a good worker for your
country.

WAR NEWS.

An attempt has been made by the
"cessationists, to neutralize the effects
of Gen. Sherman's victory at Atlanta
upon the Chicago platform and candl-
dates by reiterated assertions that ms
capture of Atlanta, and his defeat of the
rebels, didn't amount to any thing.
Gen. sherman has, however, just put
his foot on this by the following letter
ATLANTA, Sep. T.
On the 25th Of August pursuant to a
plan of which the War Department had
been fully advised, left the goth corps
at Chattahoochie bridge, and with the
balance of the army drew off from
the siege, and using some considerable
artifice to deceive the enemy, | moved
rapidly south, and reached West Point
Railroad near Fairborn on the 9th,
and broke up II miles Of it. When
moving east my right approached the
Macon railroad near Jonesboro, and
my left near Rough and Ready. The
enemy attacked the right wing of the
army of the Tennessee, and was com
pletely beaten. On the 3lst and dur
ing the combat, | pursued the left OF
the centre rapidly to railroad above,
between Rough and ready and Jones
boro.
On the 1st of Sept, we broke up
about eight miles of the Macon rail
road, and turned on the enemy at Jones
boro, assaulted him and his lines, and
carried them, capturing Gen. German
and about 2000 prisoners with eight
guns. Night alone prevented our capt
uIing the whole of Hardee's crops
which escaped south that night
That same night, Hood in Atlanta
finding all his railroads broken and in
our possession, blew up his ammuni-
ton, 7 locomotives and so cars, and
evacuated Atlanta, which on the next
day, Sept, ID, was occupied by the corps
left for that purpose. We followed
the retreating rebel army to near Love
Joys station, 30 miles south of Atlanta
where finding him strongly entrenched

as we had already the great object OF
the campaign, viz Atlanta Accord
