The Richmond Dispatch, of June, 1863, said {,
"In the early part Of this war, Gen. McClel-
Ian wrote to distinguished officer In the South,
tIpressina his desire 10 SsrVe IN the Confederate
army, II he dare deny the fact-and his recent
reports prove that In mendacity he is the repre-
sentative Of the Yankee nation-it can be
demonstrated by such evidences as will close
his lips In eternal silence. When he was at
West Point he affected TO fraternze especially
with those from the South, and TO have little
sympathy with those from bis own section
We dare say this was genuine, and that he
really was anxious to serve under JEFF Davis
In this war, but the high bribe offered by Lin
coin was too much for his easy virtue. He
was not the man to sacrifice interest TO senti-
ment, and of late has shown disposition TO be-
come as extreme In his antagonlsm as in his
friendship for the South"
The Richmond Wing copied the above, and
added;
"After the battle Of Rich Mountain both
Mcclellan and Rosecrans declared TO Confed-
crate officers, who were prisoners Of war, that
they pottd much rather be leodiBg an army dgd.HS,
Massachusetts hdN Virginia. This can be proved
by unimpeachable authority If denied. This
boosted soldier and gentleman of the North
Is as much hireling and adyenturer as any
Hessian In his ranks. II he has any conscience, Q,
II rebukes him daily for the base work In which
he Is employed. When to the pangs OF re-
morse is added the shame OF defeat, his condl-
tlon will be such as even an enemy may pity"
The above paragraphs went the rounds of
the Northern press and we have never heard
OF their charges being met, or their challenge
accepted by Gen. Mcclellan or any of his
friends.

IMPORTANT.
Terms of Peace Proposed by
JEFF. Davis.

There was . slight nuttering among the
Bulls and Bears In Wall street yesterday, grow
ing out Of rumor that Jed Davis had actually
made proposition Of peace over his own sig
nature The report could not DO traced to any
reliable source. r" ....aH .
1t gives us pleasure 70 be able to state to-day
that there were good grounds for the report.
We learn, from a source so reliable that we
believe tho statement, that Mr.. Jacob Thomp.
son, ex.secretary OF the Interior, now residing
at Niagara Falls, received a few days since .
proposition from Jefferson Davis, to be sub
mitted to our Government, for peacesble
settlement of the present difficulties.
He proposes that the rebel armies shall lay
down their arms, return TO their allegiance 10
the United States, and that the Union Of the
States shall be preserved as formerly. Slaves
that have been made FREQ during the rebellion
to remain so, but slaves now In slavery In the
rebellIous States to remain SO.
We do not learn that he makes any PROPOSE
tlon about dlsposlng Of the enormous debt In
CURED by the South. This letter of Davis was
handed, on Monday last, to a responsible and
wealthy manufacturer, a Democrat, Of New
York State, who left Niagara that day en- route
for this city.
II he has arrived here he has not yet COM
municated with the Government. That such
letter exists, and is In the hands Of party
authorized TO present 1t to the Government oi
the United States, we have not the slightest
doubt.
What is most significant about such propo
sition, is the acknowledgment 1t carries will
It that the rebellion is about crashed out, ant
that the r',bels can resist no longer.
1t would be dlscourteous, not to say unwlse
in us to attempt to discuss the merits of thi
proposition, or to even surlnise what course tn
Government will pursue on the subject.

BosroN, Sept. 2s.-The following letter Of
Gen. Fremont, Withdrawing his name % can
didate for the Presidency, is published to-day
BosTos, September 81.
GENTLEMEN feel II my duty TO make one
step more In the direction indicated BY my
letter Of the 2sth OF August, and withdraw my
name from the List OF candidates.
The Presidential question has in effect been
entered upon In such q way that the union OF
the Republican party has become paramount
necessity.
The policy Of the Democratic party signifies
either separation or re-establshment with
slavery. ..v.
The Chicago platform 10 simply separation.
General McClellan's letter Of acceptance is
re-estAblishment with slavery.
The Republican candidate, on the contrary,
Is pledged 10 the re-estsbllshment without sla-
very, and however hcsitatlng his policy may be,
the pressure of bis party will, we may hope,
force him 10 IL. Between those issues think
no man Of a liberal party can remain In doubt,
and believe that I am consistent with my
sntecedents In Withdrawing, not 10 aid In the
election Of Mr.. Lincoln, but to do my part to-
ward preventing the election Of Democratic
candidate.

We find in the Philadelphia North American
the following well.put statement respecting the
thormometrical gold market:
When, some time since, at the beginning of
an unknown trouble, gold first began to appre-
ciate, all who consulted interest rather than
principle; all who loved party and could not
Sec beyond Its policy, cried out danger, and
were anxious TO secure peace at the cost OF any
concessions. Now gold has begun to depre.
eiate, has fallen some fifty per cent, and bida
fair to fall even farther. What OF those who.
when 1t moved up, sought peace What will
they do now that 1t Is pulled down by war
AS that was the reason why we were TO seek
peace then, Is 1t not q valid reason why we
should wage war nowl 1t seems, certainly, TO
be shorter and surer method OF arriving at
the object they so greatly prize. It has led SO
far towards the result, and as the same agen-
cies reach the same ends under similar cobdi-
tlons, We may expect the movement will con-
tinue until gold and greenbacks are convessible
In our banks.
This result has not been reached BY any
strange causes. No new CALIFORNIA; have been
discovered. Government paper has not been
Withdrawn. Confidence has conquered the
croakersi Victory has killed encouragement.
Is 1t not clear that If SO much is obtained for
so little, the fualmcnt Of the whole will con.
tain everythingi II Atlanta alone accom-.
pllshes thus much, how much will be added "a
i by sheridan's victoryR What increase would
be wrought by the conquest of Mobile, or
Charleston, or Richmond Indeed, the gold
fever has not only. passed Its height, but haE
abated, and the causes which have compelled
the decline are active 70 produce farther fall.
The plain translation 10, that confidence OF
victory grows as gold falls, for victory contains
all things To us, even untold supplies Of gold.
We do not apprehend that the greatest sue.
cosses will Immediately carry gold 10 par, nor
do we suppose that the end of the war would
instantly reinstate our Industries In their old
Status. But as the course of the former is stead.
lily towards Its usual level, so the course OF the
latter Is towards more than It's former amount
and more than Its former value. When the
coming end Of strife Is reached, then We may
lrnk safely for those adjustments which arc
"' now partially occurring, which will sweep
a"I, many lnconveniences, and sooner than
we know reetore TO US the prosperity and hap
piness which preceded war.

AURORA, ILL, Sept Is, 1894.
DEAR SIR; The blata mt Copper
head arguments at the Chicago Convention
have done more 10 cement the Republican
bands, and TO cut loose War Democrats from
their old land marks, than a thousand Repub-
lican speeches could have done. Let them 20
on. Every mass meeting proves a fizzle, Gas

Every speech they make gives Lincoln hun
dred votes. Tho day has gone by when a lew
political demagogues can rule the country.
The great mass of honest farmers and mechan
Ice will roll up such big majority that sore
eyes will sparkle to read 1t.
1t would do you good TO see the rd-fsted

time wagon-loads Of vegetabl es, butter, cheese,
sorghum, &c, are pilediuto the Sanitary rooms,

elected, rebellion crushed, Jeti. Davis and all
his minions hung, then you will see these mis-
ereanls creeping into their holes 10 get away
from the Judgments Of an Indignant people.
Our prayers are that Mobile and Richmond
may iali before election, and then such ma

Official advices from General Sheridan make
the total number of killed, wounded and cap
tured rebels in the late battle about 1O, 500.
This number constituted about one third Of
Early's army. The remaining two thirds were
pshic.stricken, dlsheartcned, and nearly all Of
them threw away portion or the whole oftheir
rms in their fight, leaving his army not only
in demoralized and heartless condition, but
almost entirely dIsarmed and untitled for fur
tn sr fighting.
