-ai NEAR ATLANTA, aug. ~.
A rebel commissary clerk arrived within
our lines yesterday, and communicated the
following S will add that his information
was received with marked attention at head
quarters: 20 h95iaiv gGH goitihrA
He says he has acted as clerk at differ
ent places in the Confederacy, and In differ
ent bureaus, for three years. He Is a north-
ern man, has a southern wife, and has lived
In the south for six years. He managed to
get pass to accompany his wife as far as
Decatuf, sent her to Augusta, and immedi-
ately made to our lines. 70 snp .5sfi va
He says that theveterans are all on duty
at the front; that the whole militia force Is
inside the city; that they receive the choicest
food from their friends, and, do no duty to
speak of and that this causes much grum-
bling among the troops (and the friends of
TIVE tro0ps) who do the fighting and the
hard work; that the city is lsplendidly for
titled all around; that the guns-vary in size
fr0Hc field -pieces to 64-pounders; that there
are at least forty of the latter in position n
D He says that the troops are being contin-
ually changed from place to place; that
when he came away, Hardee was on the left,
Cheatham on the right and Lee In the CEN
tire; that the army was 10000 (to0 heavy, by
far) strong; that Hood had received veteran
reintoreenaents, and was promised q corps
from Lee, the whole army of Kirby Smith,
and Forests cavalry. slrsaaI hsus2uueaI

first but that all bitter feeling has, passed
away; that some papers laud him magnifi-

[From The Auglaize County Democrat
TemDest i'm n jug.

One John Brough, who was elected to the
exalted position of Governor OF Ohio last
year, by fraudulent votes, and who, some
three months since, signalized his bitterness
by not only abrogating his authority as
Chief Magistrate OF the State of Ohio, but
manifested great anxiety to violate the laws
in sending out of the State, at time and In
a manner that they were not wanted, near
forty thousand of the young men for an
hundred days-taking them at season that
has caused distress throughout the land
has lately issued his proclamation, warning
the people against meeting In secret organ
izations. He tells the sOvereigns of Ohio
that the Federal and State Governments are
equal to any emergency, possessing ample
strength to summarily put down all oppo-
sition. lie says the warning is not given
because opposition is feared, but his kind
regards for the people induce him to avert,
for them, sure destruction.
D. How kind he makes himself! Reflect for
a moment only, This man Brough, who
was never accused of making a sign of a
generous impulse in his life; this great de-
tormity Of adipOse matter, standing five
feet FIVE inches in circumference, talking
about his love for the people inducing him
to issue his proclamation! The idea is
ridiculous. He is only acting as willing
instrument in the hands of his masters at
Washington, to pave the way for martial
law in Ohio! Who knows any projections,
any plots for treason in the State? When
were all the people more determinedly
peaceful? No, no, danger of anything
of the kind does not exist in Ohio! The
people of the State want peace; their great,
honest though lacerated hearts, beat only
for that consummation. Their fighting is
adjourned to the ballot-box at the coming
elections-that sort of battling they will be
very extensively engaged in, as their Fal-
staffian Governor will soon enough be
aware. This is what the Administration
party most fear-a total and overwhelming
defeat by the free and proper exercise Of
the elective franchise at the ides OF Novem-
ber. la They know that nothing short of
downright usurpation and the declaration
of martial law will avert it, and they are
now seeking apologies for enacting that
role. We hope, as we believe, the people
will not give them the slightest cause for it,

the extent of their ability. He stated,
his own private opinion, that If Hood her
out, he would only rank second to General
Robert Z. Lee; that If he succeeded In driv-
Ing Sherman across the river, he would be
the man of all men in the Southern Confed-
eracy. "If he fails" says the clerk, "why,
II he gives up Atlanta, he'd better hang
himself, and take the job out of other hands"
In answer to a question, he said that Hood
was white headed, homely, spindle-shank-
ed fellow, about thirty-two years of age,
and over six feet tall; had been pretty well
hacked to pieces-one leg gone, an arm USE
less, a lot Of bruised ribs and broken collar
bone. He further said that, In what was
supposed to be q dying state, after the bat
tie of Chickamauga, Hood was baptized by
Bishop Polk, and that since that time neith-
er an oath nor glass of liquor had passed
his lips, and that his whole conduct has
been strictly Christlan-like. -.,..a9.l
He says that the rebel losses since the
10th OF July are large, and will exceed
10000 (28,0O0 at least) says the rebels claim
the fight of the 22d ult. as a great victory.
The fight of the Goth ult. they acknowledge
defeat, and call the battle OF the 2Sth
small affair, In which neither side had any,
thing to brag about. He says that during
all the battles in front of Atlanta, Walker
was the only general officer killed, and that
none were wounded severely.
He says that the Augusta road will soon
be repaired; that the Macon road has not
been cut so but the cars run regularly
every day; that our shells have killed sew
eral people, and destroyed and injured
many buildings in Atlanta, but that none
had been burned !; that two-thirds of the
non-combatants had left the city; that
many remained, however including ladies,
but that most of them lived in cellars or
large caves, while large number were en-
camped near the railroad, between Atlanta
and Decatur. ---
He announced himself Union man, and
stated that there were thousands of Union
men in Atlanta. Most all of the meehan-
les, he said, who were single, were loyal.
In conclusion, he said: "They will try
their hardest to hold Atlanta, and will
evacuate Richmond for that purpose. il

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.
Reported Reorganization Of the Re.
publican nParty..-LincOln Proposing
to Change his Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, August 26.

WASHINGTON, August 20.
REORGANIZATION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
The presence of the Republican National
Executive Committee in this city at this
lime Is not without significant purpose.
Mr.. Henry j. Raymond, with the rest of
The committee, have been In frequent and
arnest conference with the administration,
ind there are many surmises as to what de-
tision has been arrived at. The whole pol
ecy of the party was talked over, and 1t Is
understood that the committee have been
Earnestly impressing upon Mr.. Lincoln the
necessity of his paying some attention to
lhe recommendations of the Baltimore Con-
Nention. They insist that if Mr.. Lincoln
wishes to conduct the political campaign
with any hope of success, he must make a
'ruce with General Fremont and change the
personnel of his Cabinet. They tell him that
,t is essential that Mr.. Stanton, Mr.. Welles,
and Mr.. Montgomery Blair should give place
TO men who, if they will not be more eff
cient, will certainly be less Objectionable
10 the public. 1t is believed here that Cen
,,ral Fremont will soon formally retire from
she canvass, which is clearly hopeless
His friends are very much discoura-
red by the fact that in the face of the
sevulsion against Mr.. Lincoln in the Re-
lIublican party, no one seems to feel the ne
essity of supporting Gen. Fremont. Hence
ne latter will soon be withdrawn from the
residential field and be offered command
the army or position in the Cabinet.-
Ie has been talked of for Secretary of War,
ut this position, it is believed by the
riends of the Administration, would be
lore efficiently filled either by Gen. Butler
Gen. Banks. The fact that Gen. Butler
snow in this city and Gen. Banks on the
way hither, is a circumstance worthy of
.ote in connection with these rumors. The
Republicans are very well satisfied that,
unless some change takes place in the po-
ition of affairs in the field, or unless some
hing happens to change the current ofpub-
lie opinion, Mr.. Lincoln will not carry
three States in the coming contest; and
hence the present movement to patch up
the peace Of the party, introduce new men
Into the Cabinet, and start upon the presi-
dental race with something like vigor. 1t
Is agreed on all hands among the Republic
cans that it is far better to enforce the draft
at once, and pitilessly, than to have it hang
ing over the heads of the people through
The entire canvass. 1t is hoped the hard
ships of the draft may be forgotten before
November, especially if we have victories
In the field. One of two things is very
sure-either the draft will be enforced to
the uttermost, or else it will be entirely set
aside till after the presidential contest.
