HOOP cNTHE MARCH IN SHERMAN's REAR
The Levejoy Station correspondent of the
Columbia Caro2inian writes on the 23d in
slant: ~
Griffin is now an outpost, All trains from
above have been withdrawn, the telegraph
wire taken down, and the country evacuated.
Wehave nothing from Hoods army Of, very
authentic nature, except that twas on the march
beyond the ghattahoochee when last seen. I
feel noapprehension no about its, reaching Blne
Mountain in safety. Last night, Sherman
despatched considerable cavalry force down
.ne right bank of the Chattahoochee, for the
purpose, as is supposed, of, developing our po-
sition. But it is certain that up to that time
no general movement of his army had taken
place. We feel certain that he was as unpre-
pared for this bold movement, as he is unable
to prevent it. base the latter portion, of that
sentence upon the we'll authenticated fact that
bis stockis in the worst possible condition.
Every eyewitness. agrees that no one of his
teams can have enough for its own subsistence,
and, thetefore,, without the aid of q railroad,
he can dc, nothing, for if he marches to con-
front Hood, he will have to do it in a country
where he Will not have cars to bring up sup
plies.

Cause of our Defeat in tho Virginia Val

-. y N,
Correspondent of the Savannah Republican,
writing from Richmond states4the following
as the reason Of Earlys defeat in the Virgin,
Ia Valley:
The Confederate arms have met withsa
fresh disaster in the Valley of Virginia, At
ter bis defect at Winchester nthe 18th,
Early retreated up theEalley to Fishers Hill,
a strong position shott distance above Strss-
burg, and which, it was supposed, he would
be, able to hold. Not 50, however. On tie
22d, Sheridan assaulted bim in this strong POI
sition, turned his left. which soon gave way,
followed by the entire line. We lost twelve.
pieces of artillery, though but few men. Such
Is Early's official report to Cen. Lee. The
Confederates were retiring further up the Val
leeyf towards Staunton -,
E.. Do you ask for an explanation of these rap.
idly occurring disasters in portion of the
State where the Confederates, until Sept l9tht
never suffered defeat? It's simple and
easily gwen: We have two enemies to con-
tend with in. the Valley, one Of whom has nev-
er been beaten since Noall drank too much
wine aud lay in 4is tent. These enemies are
the Federal army and John Barley. Corn:
Sheridan has been largely reinforced, and taa
Valley is RUNNING with apple brandy. Here
is the key to our reverses. Officers Of high
position--yes, of very high position have,
to use an.honest English word, been drunk
TOO drunk to command themselves, much less
an army, a division, q brigade, or a regiment.
And, where officers in high command are in
the habit of drinking,to excess, ws may be
sure their pernicious example will be followed
by those Of lower grades.
+. Shall 1 call names Not now. The names
are known to the authorities, and SHALL be to
the country, unless there be a speedy feforma.
ton. Let us wait little to see whether the
guilty parties will not reform their habits, aud
especially whether the President, Secretary of
War, Gen. Lee and Gen. Bragg will take hold
of these men and punish them as they deserve.
Just think of a drunken man in command of
a body of men in battle! e

UNION VICTORIES,

This is a poor time for peace Democrats The
South echoes to the North and the North echoes
to the South. Atlanta and Vermont-Maine
and Winchester. Union victories fill the air
with thanksgiving and rejoicing. and cause a
depression in Copperhead peace stocks.
The State election in Mime indicates an in.
creased Union vote, and alec a gain Of one Con-
gresham These elections will do much to
increase the loyal vote all oyer the North. Last
year we carried every State except New jersey.
and we will not only do as well this year, but
the indications are that We will DO b.tter. u
In . few weeks, Pennsylvania will vote. and
40 she gave seventeen thousand majority last
year there is room for hope that she will place
herself on the side of the Administration.
The victory of Sheridan in the Shenandoah
Valley has weakened Lee materially. This, and
other victories Of which it is but the precursor.
will unite the people Of the North in support Of
War - the way to Peace.
All looks bright for the reelection Of Abraham
Lincoln, and the consequent reestablist ment Of
,aee and Free Government!

NOW AND THKN.

Capt. J. r. Mcclure, in his mongrel caucus
Of last Saturday evening, composed in the
main Of Mcclellan peace men and Fremont
soreheads, dwelt eloquently on the part he had
taken in this great struggle for the Union.
He reeounted the time when, four years ago,
this town and county we're overrun with trai.
tors and sympathizers with treason, and when,
in point Of number, that class were in the
asccndancy; how at that time the question Of
raising the United States flag came up, and
how he, when threats were openly made that
to do so would be at the peril of any mans life
with his own hand flung the starry banner to
the breeze. 1t was o noble act; and to him
and that little band Of loyal men that
stood with and by him and eas,i-nd him
protection be all praise for that one noble deed.
Well would it be if all his subsequent acts
were as like deserving Of immortality. But
from him the men that stood ready, with
their lives in their hands, to defend him
in raising the stars and stripes in juno
tion City, and to bring over to his support the
party Of traitors and copperheads that then
would have struck him down. II ]. r. Nc
Clure had cast his eye over that meeting Of
last Saturday night, with q view Of discover
ing the elements there in antagonism, he
would have seen upon the one hand, in his
support, the fragments and remnants Of the
party that has its leading representatives in
the hordes of the rebellion; on the other, the
men that aided and encouraged him in making
dominant the Union element of this county,
but are now es,ranged from him by his course.
The honors and emoluments Of Treasurer of
the State of Kansas may pay him for this sac
rifce of Union friends We doubt it.

FOR STATE SENATOR,

Copperhead constituency. dominated RosERf S.
MILLER
Two sets Of delegates came from e1ch precinct.
The call emanated from the regular Republican
Committee. and Of course WAS designed to include
only those of that party. and such others as
favored the election of Lincoln and johnson
A review Of the precinct caueuses justi6es the
conclusion that d;sgrscefui gougine game was
pee-sranged for getting control Of the ccnven
ton. Notorious Copperheads. all over this
County and Dickinson, took part in and con-
trclled Republican caucusses. Men who have in
the past. and will in the future. oppose the party
which made the call, attempted to dictate pol
icy. OF course, radical Republicans and true
Union men would not recognize such assoca-
tions. Hence two Conventions-one q distinct
and radical Union representation, the legitimate
spokesman Of the party which called it; the
other bantiiug of Corperhesdism and fraud.
OF the nominees. it is useless to draw compari-
sons as to their claims for this important posi-
tion Both are personally good fellows-but
that is nothing upon which to base claims for .
public position of trust and influence WILLIAM
K. BARrLrrr is not known as q time-server and
policy man. His sentiments are known by
every one. and he has never swerved. He is o
public spirited man, and his means and influence
have all been devoted to the building up Of the
country. His integrity and honesty have gained
for him the sobriquet Of Honest Bill Bartlett
His loyalty is not in doubt, and the respect he
has for Copperhesds each and oil of them know
from his own lips. and it is not very fattering.
Plain, blunt. oui-spoken, above cunning and
deceit. he is just the man to gain the respect
and confidence of his associates, and secure that
attention which our local interests demand.
Every man will know exactly on which side to
look for his vote on any measure.
OF ROBERT S. MILLER we don't know what to
say. During the five or six years that We have
lived together in this country we haye never
heard him express an opinion on any subject.
and it is difficult to find any one that has. We
do know. however, that his associations have
always been Copperheads. Such are his sur
roundings to- day and such will be the influence
which will dictate his acts. 1t is possible that
he may be opposed to Jefferson Daris, but We
have never heard Of his ever having said 50.
We doubt very much whether the people will
90 it blind. We mistake. if the people will
confer this responsible position upon one who
dare not or will not avow his principles.

Sberman's order on the 4th inst, com.
mences thus: The city of Atlanta, being
exclusively required for warlike purposes,
will at once be vacated by all except the
armies of the United States, aud such civil.
iaDs and employees as may be detained by

in tho hands of the Provost Marshal, to be
put to labor on the forts or conscripted into
one of the regiments or batteries already in

apply to all military posts south of Chstts.

The Richmond Sentinel, in commenting
upon the above, calls it an event unparal.
lelled 10 American war, and without an
example 10 modern times. 1t calls Sherman
chief among savages, . captain among
pirates, leader among highwaymen, the
prince among scoundrels and brutes, and
the foremost villain 10 the world. Sherman,
it says, has given war new feature stern
as it has been it is bsncefor,h to be sterner;
horrible as it has been it is heneeforth to
be more SO. The people are ready If the
Presideut wants Us let him call for US. No
matter about age now. If this is the kind
Of warfare We are to resist We will strip to
fight. Better for hating age or lispiog
innocence to die 10 defence of home than to
be driven in hordes to lauguish 10 exile.
The last man and the last boy among US
must take his musket sooner than endure
such outrages as that at Atlanta.
