GEN sHERMAN's ACCOUNT OF THE
CAPTURE OF ATLANTA

LOUISVILLE, Sept. SIN answer to a request
that Major General Sherman would give us
details OF his late operations before Atlanta, In
order to silence the cavils Of those who, In the
absence Of particulars, were denying that those
operations were on the whole Federal sue
cess, we have received the following;
ATLANTA, Sept. 7.-On the 25th OF August,
pursuant to q plan Of which the War Depart
ment had been fully advised, left the Goth
corps at the Chattahoochie bridge, and with
the balance of the army l drew of from the
siege, and using some considerable artifice to
misload the { semy, march i rapidly south
and reached the West Point railroad, near Fair
born, on the eth, and broke up twelve miles
Of 1t. When moving east my right approached
the Macon railroad, near Jonesboro', and my

The enemy attacked the right wing Of the
Army Of the tennessee and was completely
| beaten on the lst, and during the combat
pushed the left Of the centre rapidly on the
railroad above and between Rough-and- Ready
| and Jonesboro'.
On the 1st of September we broke up about
eight miles OF the Macon road and turned on
the enemy at Jonesboro', assaulted him and
his lines and carried them, capturing Brig
Gen. German and about two thousand prison
ers, with eight guns and much plunder.
Night alone prevented our capturing all o.

all his railroads broken and In our possession

KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEoPLE-That the
Chicago Convention could not lind time or
heart in GJty resolution or speech, 10 utter one
Word against The Southern rebellion!
Let our brave soldiers in the field, our
mothers and sisters In homes made desolate by
rebel bullets-our starving cOuntrymon in rebel
prisons, and our oyerburthened tax payers to
sustain a war pushed upon the country by re-
bellion-remember this. Democracy has no
rebuke for treason and rebellion, and hence is
entitled to the support only Of traitors aud
rebels. Friends of the Union and haters OF
rebellion in the Democratic party-break ranks
and come out from such a cabal of treason. 1t
Is no place for you.

RECOGNITION OF REBELLION If Me-
CLELLAN IS ELECTED.

We have It from a reliable source that ar.
rangements have already been made between
Belmont, on the part Of Mcclellan, the ''young
Napoleon" }" and the Rothschilds, on the part
of Napoleon III, of France, that in the event OF
the election Of Mcclellan cessation of hos.
tilities" will take place and France will recog-
nlze the Confederacy, the argument being that
the defeat of Mr.. Lincoln would be defeat Of
the war party of the country, and a declara.
tlon to the word that the South should be an
independent nation. To this end the under.
standing is that Napoleon III, through the
Rothchllds, will furnish the means to carry on
the Mcclellan campaign.

COL. wHALEy, OF WEST VIRGINIA

We were rejolced to see Col. whaley visiting
our city, on his a customed errands Of kind
ness and usefulness for the soldiers of West
Virginia, and with reference to the interests of
his people, who have suffered so much by the
rebels. If any constituency was ever under
obligation to any rapresentative, the people of
West Virginia are to Col. Whaley. He is ex-
celled by none in vLergy and perseverance and
tact.
On the committee of invalid pensions, as
chairman, he was Industrious and wise, and
every case was disposed of as soon as the facts
could be ascertained.
Col. Whaleyis as true as steel to the Govern
msnt and his people, and Is universally re-
garded as the true end of the soldier.

than not have her ride successfully through
this rebellion; for what are your houses and
lands, your deeds and mortgages, your stocks
and chattels WORTH and can you even retain

sustained : The breaking up Of the Govern
ment Is the rich mans doom"
