Our Situation.

In the opening of the campaign of '64,
we were all full of hope, Chat is, all who
really wanted final victory. Our armies
had been recruited up and placed under
experienced commanders with every fe-
cility for comfort and efficiency which
could be furnishedso vast an organization.
Have the results so far sustained the high
expectations of the people? We think
they have.
In the opening of the campaign, al
most the whole of Virginia was occupied
by the rcAsl army, now how changed =
That army led by the masterspirit in their
service has been driven over line which
many thought untenable Richmond as
sailed from the North, East and South
Lee unable longer to risk drawn battle,
is compelled to seek refuge behind his for
tifcations While Grant is at this mo-
ment making firm Judgement on the
north of the James, from which he can
operate either on Fort Darling or Rich
mond itself-and finally compelling Lee
to either abandon Richmond or Peters
burg after which a close siege can be
maintained against the remaining strong
hold, the fall of which will then only be
a question Of time.
In Georgia the rebel army held all the
mountain passes between Chattanooga and
Atlanta; and we were exultantly inform
ed that their army under Johnston thus
situated, was invincible Nevertheless,
ithas been repeatedly-notonly outAanked
but out fomyht-driv before that gal
liant and heroic Union army, which is ev-
en- now laying close siege to that great i'm
porium of rebel supplies and munitions
of war To resist the progress of this
army, in addition to the force which ithad
to contend with all through the campaign.
Governor Brown, of Georgia, calls out the
reserUed Militid,-consisting of boys from
sirteen to seventeen, and men from fifty to
.ffiy.fUe, the rest of the militia being in
the service already? What powerful
reinforcement the reserve militia of Geor-
gia will be to Hoods depleted armyl 1t

rights of the Southern people should be
protected-their Institutions uninterfered
with. Guards were frequently placed
about the mansions of the wealthy par
ticularly if they belonged to noted rebels.
The slave was informed that any attempt
to rise against the established order of
things, would be instantly crushed =
Poor Sambo therefore had no alternative
left but to hoe his corn and tobscco and
pick his cotton and thus protected. all
the South had to do was to keep her ar
mics full-no fear of internal commotion
was to be even apprehended. In return
for this humane policy on our part did
they reciprocate? Yes, by shooting cur
pickets! by boiling our dead heroes and
sending their bones South, to be manu-
factured into trinkets for Southern ladies,
to be preserved as keepsakes! BY shoot
ing or hanging, as the case might be,
those loyalists of Tennessee, Missouri,
Kentucky, Arkansas, orof any other state
that had patriotism and courage enough
to proclaim in favor of the old flag. !! :
Did our conservative friends ever COM
plain of this? Did they ever publish
the facts as they occurred? We believe
not. At any rate, it was during the exis-
tance of this state of things that the peo-
pie cried aloud for a different policy
Mr.. Lincoln was implored to adopt such
policy as would give those incorrigible
rebels to understand that war means de-
MISUNDERSTANDING, not only to the
rebel army, but to every interest that was
sustaining it. In due time this change
of policy came, but not until they had
been duly notified of it and an opportu-
nifty offered them to avert the ruin it would
work them. They, however, were deaf
to all entreaty-the new policy was in
augurated, and under it, 100000 to 200,-
600, soldiers and laborers have been ad-
ded to the force of the Union, and at
least so many taken from the employ
ment of the rebels-and this is consider
cd by some, a great wrong! an outrage
upon the rights of sovereign States u
Those troops, too, have been employed as
forlorne hope on many hazardous un-
dcrtaking, when the destruction of the
most of them was certain! and all this
we arc told is wrong! and to reverse this
policy the conservatives are soon to meet
at Chicago, where candidate is to be
chosen and platform adopted, that will
satisfy "our Southern brethren" We
have no doubt they will succeed-that is,
in choosing a candidate and framing a
platform upon which Jeffeeen Davis him
self might be willing to stand; but they
will find it a much greater undertaking to
succeed in convincing the loyal people
that they are right, or even honest in the
choice of the one, or the adoption of the
other.

ieparty. Keep it in power and it will be
sparlng in its afiirmations of loyalty, but
let the tide turn, and like Benedict Ar
mold, they will plot treason, while under
the oath of office, and if possible, deliver
the land of their birth to its implaeable
foes. They have placed themselves in
such relation, that national success re.
suits in Democratic defeat, and national
disaster in Democratic victory This is
the precise relation in which our armed
foes stand to us. Inshort when they were
in power, they professed loyalty but when
they lost power, they rebelled, for our
present troubles are nothing. but the re-
bellion. of the Democratic party against
the government. They go on the princi-
pie that they prefer to rule in hell than
to serve in heaven.
4. Arnold died an ignominious death.
Having forsaken his country, the British
used him as a tool for time, but as soon
as their purposes were accomplished with
him, they permitted him to die almost
alone, despised alike by his country and
his country's foes The Democratic party
is fast following in his footsteps. Like
Arnold's reasonable plot, their plots have
all been detected in time to save the coun-
try, even from Perce's and Buchanan's
administration, down to the last develop
ment of the Sons of Liberty in. the West.
But they are fast coming to shame. The
| ignominious death commenced when thew
declared in favor of the enemies of their
country, and it seems like natural fitness
Of things, that they should prefer the
birth day Benedict Arnold, to the birth
day of American Independence, upon
which to hold their last general convoca-
ton, to give aid and comfort to the reb-
els, and if possible prevent the loyal par
ty from saving the country in its integri-
ty. The poisonous dose of treason, alrea-
dy swallowed, has produced fearful con-
vulsions, and the present indications are,
that the final prescription will be made out
by the Vallandigham's, the Woods, and
tlH Reeds, on Arnold's birth day, that
will end the fearful throes of an ignomin-
iOus death. We feel like adding that the
death Of the modern Democratic party,
would be cone of the Lords affecting prov
idences by which be works great deliver
ances to an afflicted nation May the
time soon come when the dying agonies
shall end, for the rest of loyal people is
much disturbed, with the parties moan
ings and its pitcous shrieks as life ebbs
out. Ereunt, once noble, but now igho-

na5n g AS the people of this State have
decided to give the soldiers the right of
voting, we suggest to the President to APP
point at least one of the editors Of the
Citi.ea to the Office of "Ticket Agent" "
for this county, whose duty it shall be to
take Republican tickets down to the ar
my, and instruct the soldiers how to vote.
IF any of them should be drafted, the War
Department might decide his services in
such case to be indispensable, and he
would be exempted. The editors will no
doubt give us credit for the suggestion. y
Herald.
Certainly Mr.. Editor, we will give you
credit for the above; nor would we have
any objection to visit the army for any
proper purpose. The army will vote this
fall-they will need tickets which will
doubtless be sent them Should the Cop
perheads choose you, Mr.. Editor, as the
agent to have charge of the tickets of
Vallandigham's peace party, we would
have no objections to have charge Of those
representing the loyal millions. Should
this be the case you will please take copy
of your paper of last week, in which you
say We have not gained a single advan-
tage in battle this whole summer" 1t
would, doubtless, assist you in gaining
their confidence.

is scarcely necessary to add that Atlanta
the great center Of rebeldom must soon
fall into our hands.
Then, last If not least, comes our vic.
tory in Mobile Bay, embracing the des-
truction of the rebel feet--the blowing
up of Fort Powell-the surrender of Ft
Gaines, and the close investment of Fort
Morgan, with the capture of near thou
sand prisoners andabout seventy pieces Of
artillery; and yet in the face of all this
our neighbor, over the way, tells us that

Chicago Convention.

1t seems but natural fitness of things,
that the time for holding the Chicago
Convention should be changed from the
4th day of July, to the 29th day Of
August. On the former day, our patri,
otie sircs signed the immortal Declaration
of Independence, in which they affirm
that they hold these truths as seG-e7ident
:" That all men are born free and equal
with certain inalienable rights, among
which are life, liberty, and the pursuit oI
happiness" On the latter day, was
born Benedict Arnold. We say the hold.
ing of the convention on the latter day
seems but a natural fitness of things
The career of the Democrats and that Of
Benedict Arnold, are so similar, that we
feel like noticing some of the most strik-
ing similarities.
l. Arnold was American born, and OF
honorable parent9ge. This may be truth
fully said of the Democratic party.
The principles originally enunciated by
the party were brought forth in great ira
vail during the reign of several successive
Kings, who essayed to opprcss their sub
jects. The fathers of the party were men
Of noble parts-men who were both pa
triots and statesmen. Peace be to their
ashes.
2. He was great man for war. lie
espoused the national cause at the COM
mencement Of the Revolution, and was
for war up to the hilt," right or wrong.
Such, until recently has been the charac-
ter Of the Democratic party. Although
the name of Democrat was not known
during the Revolution, yet a party assum-
ing that name, having for its leader Thos
Jefferson, sprung up during Washington's
second term of office. 1t was then known
as the war party, and was in favor of form
ing an alliance with France, and declar-
ing war against England in 1876. In
1872, it was the war party. During
our difficulties with Mexico, they were
still the war party, and subsequently, they
favored Cuban and Mexican conquests,
and always endeavored to bring their po-
litical antagonists into dispute by brand
ing them with being the "peace party"
This charge was brought against the
Wings, during Folks administration, and
was in the mouth of every Democratic
urchin in the land.
3. Arnold was g bound to rule or ruin"
Make him commander-in-chief and he
would be loyal but subordinate him, and
he would not submit, he would deliver his
country to her foes. Because an officer
of his own rank was promoted, and he was
neglected for a short time, he become
foe to the land of his birth, and tried to
betray it into the hand of its enemies
This has been the course of the Democrat
American citizen. [volume] (Butler, Butler County, Pa.) 1863-1872, 1864-08-24
FROM GENERAL GRANT.
WAR DEPARTMENT, !
WASHINGTON, August Is.
= General Jao. h. Dir :

To Major General Jno 4. Die:
A dispatch from General Grant, dated
Monday, 10Th, 6;30 p. m, detained by
the breaking of the telegraph line, has
Just been received. He reports that the
fighting north of the james River today
(l6th) has resulted favorably to us so far
as it has gone, but there has been no de-
cisive result. The enemy was driven back
somewhat from their position of this morn
ing, with considerable loss in killed and
wounded, aud about forty prisoners left in
our hands. Two Brigadier Generals
Chandler and Gherrad-were killed and
their bodies left in our hands. We also
have quite number of wounded prison
ers. Since moving north of the river our
losses will probably reach near 600 kili-
ed and wounded /; many, however, only
slightly wounded, owing to so much of
the fighting taking place in thick wood,
The enemy have lost about as many as have
fallen into our hands.
The Department has intelligence from
General Sherman to l1;30 last night, but
no operations are reported.
n ulspdtCh iioh pSbola b9hViludh az
Winchester, dated Aug. 18th, 10 A. NJ,
reports that Gen. Merritt division of cav
airy was attacked yesterday afternoon on
the north side of the Shenandoah river by
Kershaw's Division Of Longstreets Corps,
and Wickham and loves Brigades of
cavalry. After very handsome cavalry
fight, the enemy were badly beaten, with
loss of two stands of colors, "a officers
and ZIG men prisoners. In late dis
patch Sheridan says the cavalry engage
ment in front of Font Royal was assplendid.
1t was on open ground. The sabre was
freely used by our men. Great credit is
due to Gen. Merritt and Custer and Col
Devin.

The northwestern Conspiracy.
INDIANAPOLIS, August2l.

Some days ago Gov. Morton received
letter from the East stating that large
quantity of arms were being shipped to
disloyal parties in Indiana. On the 18th
instant four boxes were received address,
ed to j. j. Parsons, of the firm Of II. II.
Dodd d Co, printers of this city. Last
night twenty-five boxes, to the same adj
dress, were received and draycd to Dodd's
Office. A military guard was immedia-
tely placed around the building and took
possession. Upon examination the boxes,
were found to contain rcvolycrs of the best
quality and fixed ammunition j j. Par
sons, Chas. b. Huchins, Dodd's partners,
and VIM. Harrison, Grand Secretary of'
Sons of Liberty, were arrested and placed
under guard at the Soldiers Home. The
two former were released on taking the
oath Of allegiance. A book containing a.
list of the Sons of Liberty was found in
!Dodd's safe, including the names of the
Secretary and Auditor OF State, Attor-
ney General and j. j. Bingham, editor of
the Sentinel, and names of four hundred
rebel prisoners and third degree members.
II. IL. Dodd is Grand Commander of the;

False Charges.

There is class of polititions in our
midst-indeed they are to be found in
small squads all over the country, who
profess to be very much annoyed about
the unconstitutionality of Mr.. Lincoln s
doings, and about the cruel objects for
which the war for the Union has been
prostituted. This class of men never
grumbled when under the conservative
policy of Mcclellan, and others of kin
dred feelings, loyal Virginians were given
up to their rebel neighbors, who claimed
them as their property Can any of this
class tell us by what authority it was
done Under what provision of the Con-
stitution, or law of Congress ? No mat
ter, these werenot of the leading class
the chivay and therefore had no rights
our Generals were bound to respect,
But we are told that the war is no
longer prosecuted for the restoration of the
Union, but the overthrow of slavery
This, those who utter it should know it to be
false. Mr. Lincoln declares the only object
of the war to be the restoration of the
Union, and, unless his actions belle this
assertion, we have no right to discredit it.
But, say they, why then does he issue
his Proclamation of Emancipation? the
answer is easy; for twenty long months
the war had gone on-as our armies ad-
vanced; our Generals published their poll
cy, extending their assurances that the
