n. Denounces Peace and Compromise
Platforms.

HyADouARTRRs ARMIES OF THE UNITED
STATES, CITY POINT, Va Aug. 10, lS6i.-To
Hon E. b. Wdshburnc.-Dear Sir: state to all
citizens who visit me that all we want now to
insure an early restoration OF the Union is
determined unity OF sentiment North. The
rebels have now in their ranks their last man.
The little boys and old men are guarding pris-
oners, guarding railroad bridges, and forming
= good part OF their garrisons for intrenched
positions. A man lost by them cannot be re-
placed. They have robbed the cradle and the
grave equally TO get their present force. BE-
sides what they lose in frequent skirmlshes
and battles, they are now losing from deser.
tons and other causes at least one regiment
per day.
With this drain upon them the end is not far
distantif we will be only true to ourselves.
Their only hope now is in DIVIDED North.
This might give them reinforcements rom Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Maryland ana Missouri
quickly enforced the enemy would become de-
spondent, and would make but little resis-
fance. 1 have no doubt but the enemy are
exceedingly anxious to hold out until after thu
Presidential election. They have many hopes
from its effects.
They hope a counter revolution; they hope
the election Of the Peace candidate. In fact
like "Micawber," they hope for something to
sturn up" Our Peace friends, II they expect
peace from separation, are much mistaken. It
would but be the beginning Of war with thou
sands Of Northern men joining the South be-.
cause OF our disgrace in allowing separation.
Tohave ''peace on any terms" the South would
demand the restoration Of their slaves already
freed they would demand indemnity for losses
which would make the North slave-hunters for
the South They would demand pay or the
restoration of every slave escaping TO the
North. Youls, truly, IS. GRANT.
