Atlanta is in DeKalb county, Georgia,
about seven miles southeast of the Chat
tahoochee river and on the line of rail-
roads leading from Savannah to Chatta-
nooga and Nashville, Tennessee. -Four
Of the principal railroads in the state ter
inmate at this place. They are the Geor-
gia road to Augusta; the Macon and Wes-
tern road to Macon; the Atlanta and Wes-
tern road to Chattanooga; and the La
Grange road to West Point. The surroun-
ding country contains gold, iron and other
valuable and useful minerals. Since the
rebellion foundries and machine shops have
been established here, and immense guam
titles of ordnance material turned out for
the use of the rebels 1t is considered one
of the most important towns in the South,
from its railroad connections, and in conse-
quence of its mines and manufactures.
Foreign writers, as well as some of our
own have considered its possession of even
more Importance to the rebels than Rich
mond. Time will develope what use will
be made of its possession by the Union
forces. It will doubtless be made grand
depot for supplies of SHERMAN's army, and
the base of important operations.

A Frank Admission.

" 1t is not necessary, it will be shameful be-
cause false. to conceal from Republicans that
our opponents have brought to bear all the
jointed skill OF their party leaders, and rely on
all their past prestige of party drill, to carry
to success the election of what is from their
stand point strong ticket. 1t is never wise
to deceive ourselves as to the strength of our
opponents. The war should have taught US
that.-Chicago Tribune.
Well this is frank admission, and adj
mirable for the truth it contains. We
haze strong ticket, and it as unwise for
the Abolition party to deceive themselves in
regard to the strength of their opponents.
But there are many things the war should
have taught them besides this, and no bet
ter evidence is needed of their utter
incapacity to be taught by events, than
the admission that they have just walked
up to the strength of their opponents.

Taxation.

whistle is costing them dear. In all parts
of the land we hear signs of discomfort
upon the part of the laboring population,
and vision of British liberty with its ap-
palling apparatus Of universal taxa
ton /" confronts them like the ghost of
Banquo, and will not "down" at their
bidding. We have bought whistle, and
we must pay for it. We have danced, and
we must settle with the fiddler. We have
spent our money in riotous living, and the
great Tax Collector who sits in the Execu-
tive chair is calling, like OLIVER, for
more" The liberties of America are now
to be built up on substantial foundation
of taxes. Those who go to the war, and
they who remain at home, are all equally
called upon to bleed " for their country.
We can now drink our taxed "lager," out
of taxed glass, in taxed saloon. We can
ride in a taxed. buggy, behind taxed
horse. We can sit in taxed chair and
smoke a taxed cigar, and read a taxed
newspaper through our taxed spectacles.
We can case our feet in taxed leather, and
our hands in taxed kid. We can call in q
taxed physician, to cure US with taxed
medicine. We can enclose taxed pho
tographs in letters written on taxed letter
paper, to be delivered by a clerk living on
a taxed salary to party living on taxed
income. Great is Taxation, and LINCOLN
is its prophet! He has taxed the resources
of the North, and the resources of the
South. He has taxed the strength of the
Union and the Constitution. He has taxed
the patience Of our people, armies and
Generals. He has taxed our temper and
our faith. He has taxed our sense of JUS
tice and our sense of morality. In short
he has taxed us beyond endurance.

The Committee then adjourned.
Gen. sherman Snubbed by rhe Ad.
ministratiOn.

The manly, sensible letter Of General
SHERMAN on the negro soldier humbug,
has brought down on him the wrath Of
the Administration. Gen. SHERMAN said
he had use for all the negro soldiers he
could find as pioneers, teamsters, cooks,
servants, local garrisons, and coarse hand
laborers generally, and that he considered
the negro sin a transition state and not
the equal of the white man." OF course
neither LINCOLN Or STANTON dare snub
Gen. SHERMAN directly. So they do it in
this way:
The incorporation in the Army of the United
States Of colored troops, renders it necessary
that they should be brought as speedily as pos
sble to the highest state of discipline. Accor-
dinghy the practice which has hitherto prevail
ed, no doubt from necessity, of requiring these
troops to perform most OF the labor of fortif-
cations, and the labor and fatigue duties of per-
manent stations and camps miW cease and Mey
uiN only be required to take their fair share or
taaiyue duty wiM the mhite troops.

Morton s. wilkinson.

A gallant officer of one of our regiments
in the field, and warm Republican, who
has held high positions at home, writes as
follows concerning the possibility of the
reelection of MORTON s. WILKINSON to
the Senate of the United States:
cannot believe it possible that the people
of Minnesota will elect men to the next Legis-
lature who will vote to return M. s. WILKIN-
SON to the United States Senate; at least, I
hope they will not
Six years ago he was comparative stranger

throughout the State, and there is no excuse
for being humbugged by him or his friends a
second time.

indian Affairs.

A letter from Maj CLowNEY, at Fort
"adsworth, announces that one of the In
dams concerned in the Blue Earth mr.
ders had been captured and brought to
that post. He was chained to rock un-
der close guard.
Maj. Brown reports that from ten to
fifteen lodges, from Crow Creek Agency
on the Missouri, are now located on the
Coteau in small parties, extending from
Hawks-nest to Broad Lake. Peaceable
Indians were hunting below them. Meas
ures will be taken at once to drive the In
dams across the James River.

The Debt.

The debt of the United States as officially
acknowledged, may be stated in round
figures at two thousand millions of dollars.
Prominent officials at Washington say that
if the war should cease to-day, it would
take at least ten gears to settle upthe out
standing claims against the Government.
But there is no prospect of any cessation
of hostilities while LINCOLN is in power,
and the debt when he retires from Office
next March will be three thousand millions.
When we add to this the outstanding
claims, we will find ourselves in debt to
the tune of nearly four thousand millions.
Such is the fruit of the Abolition policy:
Bankruptcy and ruin staring us in the
face.

The Rejoicing.

The rejoicing Saturday over SHERMAN g
great success at Atlanta, among all classes
was heartfelt. Flags were hoisted on
many public and private buildings, cannon
roared and reverberated through the
streets, and congratulations and encomi-
ums on SHERMAN and his brave army were
everywhere heard. The only drawback to
the general rejoicing was occasioned by a
few black-hearted abolitionists, who never
drew loyal breath in their lives, but
deemed the occasion fitting one to make
a little political capital for the negro and
GOLD ABE These vultures attempted
to mingle their discordant screams with
the shouts of victory, but did not disturb
materially the general good feeling which
everywhere prevailed.

Honor to Whom Honor is due.

Honor to Whom Honor is Due.
We beg leave to tender our thanks, IN
behalf of the Democracy of the State OF
Minnesota, to such men as Senator POWELL
of Kentucky, FRANKLIN PIERCE OF New
Hampshire, and HoRATIo SEYMOUR OF New
York, for the honorable and patriotic
course adopted by them before the Chi
cago Convention. At this present juno
ture. HoRAT1o SEYMOUR had high and
especial claims upon the gratitude of the
Democratic party. For two years he has
firmly resisted executive encroachments
upon the rights of the State of New York,
setting brave and patriotic example to
all lovers of the old Union and old Con-
stitution. His courageous and devoted
services have not been forgotten by the
party, and our triumph shall be his tri-
umph. His Difference to the popular wish,
exhibiting mo- shadow Of disappointment,
and displaying throughout the loftiest con-
ceptions of patriotic duty, meets with the
cordial appreciation and thanks Of the De-
mocracy of Minnesota.
