Gen. burnside at the New England
Agricultural Fair.

On Thursday afternoon last, General
Burnside visited the New England Ag
ricultural Fair at Springfield, Mass. He
was introduced by the president OF the
Society, and was greeted with vocifer
Gus cheers, and, after they had some
what quieted, Gen. Burnside acknowl-
edged the compliment in the following
speech
"My friends, thank you most heart
ily for this kind reception. 1t is the
more gratifying to me because it comes
from the people of section which has
sent so many men to my command
(Cheers) Their obedience to orders,
their discipline, and their other fine
qualities have won for them a warm
place in my heart (cheers)-a more
than ordinary attachment. The scene
before me is pleasant one, because it
shows very plainly that our resources
are not exhausted Cheers and cries
of "GoodpO We have still an abund-
| ance of men and nateyid But / hope
| that not great deal more of either will
be needed or called for. l honestly and
canddly believe that the end is near
| cloud cheers.) / see no occasion fol
the despondency which has existed in
some quarters. Grant wants some more
men and they will be given him.
| (Cheers.) They will be forthcoming and
the war will be closed in short order
Again / thank you for this reception
and hope that when the next annua
fair of the New England society will
take place, we shall be at peace with tn,
whole world and with ourselves"
Gen. Burnside's remarks were greet
ed with enthusiastic applause, and a
their close three cheers were called 70
and given him with the hearticst gooS
| will.

The victoYy nt Atlanta.
GENKRAL sHRRMAN's ACCOUNT.


In answer to request of certain par
ties in Louisville made to Gen. Sherman
shat he would give them the details OF
the late operations at Atlantis, sin order
to silence the cavils of those who, in the
absence of particulars, were denying
that these operations were, on the whole,
a Federal success" the General sends
the bllowing
"ATLANrA, Sept. Z, 1864.
"On the 25th of August, pursuant TO
a plan of which the War Department
had been fully advised | left the Goth
corps at Chattahoochie bridge, and with
the balance of the army | drew off from
the siege, and using some considerable
artihce mislead the enemy, l moved
rapidly south and reached West Point
railroad, near Fairborn, on the 9th, and
broke up twelve miles of it.
When moving east my right approach
ed the Macon railroad near Jonesboro,
aud my left near Rough and Ready. The
enemy attacked the right wing of the
army of the Tennessee, and was COM
petely beaten. On the 3lst and during
the combat pushed the left of the cen
ter rapidly TO the railroad above, be-
tween Rough and Ready and JoLesboro.
On the list of September we broke up
about eight miles of the Macon railroad
and turned on the enemy at Jonesboro,
assaulted him and his lines and carried
them, capturing Brig. Gen. German and
about 1000 prisoners, with eight guns
and much plunder. Night alone pre-
vented our capturing the whole OF Har-
dee's corps, which escaped south that
night.
That same night Hood in Atlanta,
finding all his railroads broken and in
our possession, blew up his ammunition,
seven locomotives and eighty cars, and
evacuated Atlanta, which on the next
day, September I'd, was occupied by the
corps left for that purpose, Major Gener
al Slocum commanding. We followed
the retreating rebel army to near Love
joys Station, thirty miles south of At
lanta, where finding him strongly in
trenched concluded it would not pay
to assault as we had already the great
object of the campaign, viz Atlanta.
Accordingly the army gradually and
leisurely returned to Atlanta and it is
now encamped eight miles south of the
city, and tomorrow will move to camps
appointed
am now writing in Atlanta, so |
could not be uneasy in regard to our sit
uatioa. We have as the result of this
quick, and, as | think, well executed
movement, 81 guns, over 5000 prisoners,
| and have buried over 400 rebel dead and
left SIS many wounded-they could not
! be removed.
The rebels have lost besides the i'm
portant city of Atlanta and stores, al
/ least 500 dead, $500 wounded and 300t
prisoners. Whereas our aggregate loss
will not foot up 1900 men.
If that is not success | don't know
what is.

Major General"

Report OF THE RBBBL SECRETARY OF
WAR-The Rebel Secretary of War has
made his report, in which, among other
things, he says that owing to the scarci-
ty of provisions, farmers refuse to sell
and he advises impressment as the only
recourse of the government. He advises
also that in the event of the continued
disinclination of railroad companies to
transact the government business, pos
session Of the several lines should be
forclbly taken. The railroads are de-
scribed to be in very dilapidated con-
dition.
In concluding his report Mr Seldom
says
'sThe whole male population of the
South, between the ages Of seventeen
and fifty, are organized as soldiers that
one-third of the currency has been an
nulled: that taxation to an unprece-
dented amount has been exacted from
all values; the habeas corpus suspended
and other extreme measures taken, but
these have been ,ciRiHgly borne by the
people, because the despondency of the
North and its approaching bankruptcy
and internal convulsions assure them
of independence and peace at an early
day

PEYDLEToNs REcoRD.-The New York
Tribune says of this gentleman's Con-
gressional record; ....
Consistent in his friendship TO all
the open friends Of rebellion, Mr.. Pendle-
ton was one of the twenty who voted
against the resolution censuring Harris
of Maryland for reasonable language on
the floor of the House.
He was willing to repudiate the debt
due from the government to portion
of it's soldiers and voted, March 81,
1854, for Hardings proposition that the
colored troops should be cheated out of
their wages earned.
June 80, 1854, he voted for LeBlonds
proposition for an armistice and COM
missioners-the campaigns in Virginia
and Georgia then actively going for
ward
He declared by his vote on the 18th of
January 1864, as he had in mis- speech
| above cited, that he does not believe in
the right to crush the rebellion. Mr..
Green Clay Smith of Kentucky offered
this preamble and resolution
Whereas, A most desperate, wicked
and bloody rebellion exists within the
jurisdiction of the United States, and
the safety and security of personal and
national liberty depend upon its utter
and absolute extinction therefore
Resolved, That it is the political, civil,
moral and sacred duty of the people 10
meet it, fight it, crush it and forever de-
stroy it.
This passed with but sixteen nays
among them Harris, Long, Pendleton,
Voorhees, and Fernando Wood.
Three resolutions were offered in the
House Dec. IL, 1868. The first declared
for the prosecution of the war, Mr.. Pen
dleton voted squarely against it-64
other democrats with him. The second
resolution was as follows
THAT we hold 1t to be the duty Of
Congress to pass all necessary bills to
supply men and money, and the duty o.

LEAcHs PERPETUAL MorIoK.- Our
readers will recollect some notice taken
in these columns about year since of a
small machine exhibited through the
country, which its inventor claimed to
contain the principle of self motion, or
perpetual movement. The machine was
/. metallic wheel with system Of cords
and falling balls suspended to the arms
of the wheel, which is supported on q
thick base of wood. 1t turns out that
the affair is a very ingenious deception.
The base or platform contains q system
of clock work, spring running up to
the axis through one of the standards
supporting the wheel. When wound
up" it would run some twelve hours.
The inventor OF this wonderful "per-
petual motion is said to have made
quite sum by humbugging persons,
and then imparting the secret. OF course
parties who have invested are anxious
to get their money back by sale or exhi.

GETTING FRIGHTBSBD.-A New York
butter speculator few days ago sent
orders to his agent in Potsdam, n. Y,
to sell Thousand tubs of butter which
he had been holding for higher prices,
for the most he could get. The splendid
condition of the fall feed, taken in con-
nection with the reduced consumption
of butter will disappoint many farm
ers and spectators who are holding
their butter for higher prices. 1t was
selling in New Hampshire last week foI
from thirty-tive to forty cents pound
