THE SOUTH -DIsCoURAGED,

The Abolition. journals during the cam
paign argued that, should Mr.. LINCOLN
be re ,elected the South would become
discouraged. They would then think
that the people. of the North were united,
and determined upon the suppression of
the rebellion. The Government being
strongly supported, they would at once
come to the conclusion that it was useless
for them to contend against the Federal
forces, as they were continually i~ncreas-
ing, while the South were losing their
strength, and their friends abroad, and
would at once lay down their arms and
sue for peace. The truth of this argu-
ment can be seen at a glance. The South
are only more determined than they were
before, as is shown by the passing of the
resolution by the Confederate Congress,
in which they resolved to fight until they
succeeded in gaining their independence.
They only consider the reelection of
LINCOLN as the purpose. of the abolition
lists of the North through his instrument
tally to rivetmore firmly tine chains of
despotism, to crush out the last hope of
liberty and to destroy every right under
the Constitution. They have scen these
opinions verified by the late message of
the President. He has told them that
he will not rctract a word said in re-
gard to slavery, neither will he modify
the Emancipation Proclamation. Having
viewed these facts on the one hand, end
their fields, dwellings, towns and cities
burned and laid waste by such raids as
SHERMAN is now carrying on in Georgia,
on the other hand, they resolve with q
determination as immovable as that of
the Revolutionary fathers, that they will
fight to the last. American blood warns
their hearts, brave spirits are found in
their breasts, a firm belief that they are
right gives them determination, a love
for their rights and institutions impar.s
courage and an attachmenttotLei homes
FTH.t ~ |
and a tender affection for their families
gives them unfaltering fortitude and
nerves them to meet any emergency or
make any sacrifice necessary for the pres
e~rvation of those dear homes, reverenced
right and loved families.
Will the destruction Of their property,
dispersion of their families, the rob-.
berries and insults perpetrated, cause them
to despair? Will the reelection of a
man whom they consider bought to de-
stroy their prosperity and happiness, take
away their rights and institutions. cause
them to return to their allegiance? Will
the continuation of an Administration
that has, as they regard If, been detri-
mental to their welfare discourage them 2
No, they are American people, and Amer
lean people, when once determined in
their purpose can neper Be discouraged.

WAR MEETING.
. DRAFT ..

All those WIN are subject to Draft, in
Montgomery township, are called on to
meet at the Town Hall, on Saturday
evening, 3lst inst, to consider measures
for clearing this township of the pending
draft, and to hear the report of the Ex-
ecutive Committee on funds now OF hand.
T. @. BUSHNELL.
I Ashland, December 81, 1864.
The above is a copy of a Hand Bill
that was yesterday circulated throughout
Montgomery Township. This call will,
no doubt, be followed,-if it has not been
preceded,-by similar in every township
of tho State. "Another effort must be
made to clear the township from the
draft" What a commentary is this up
on the promises that have been made to
the people for the past three years, and
moro especially those that were made SO
loud and SO frequently during the last
summer and fall. By almost superhu-
man exertions and the expenditure of
millions upon millions of money during
that time, upon the positive assertion of
the leading Abolition press of the coun-
try, that that would be the last call, that
the Rebellion was tottering to its grave,
that the 500, 900 would be an ample num-
Der to finish it up, that all our battles
were glorious victories, &C., &c, that call
was supposed TO be made up and the quo
tas of townships, counties and States, we
were told we're filed.
This Jefore the election. One part of
the purpose of this diabolical lying and
fraud was to carry that election. 1t sue
ceeded. Even ever since that time those
in authority have claimed that We have
met with no reverses, that Thomas has
annihilated Hoods army and that the
march of Sherman's,army has been the
creates! stroke to the Rebellion, of the
war. Yet right on the heels and in the
face of this internal lying and deception
comes a call from his Majesty, Abraham
], for BOG, 900 more intended victims
"The rebellion lettering in the last
throes," says Lincoln, and adds "givo
me 800 600 more"
Whoswiu be again fooled by these van
dals. Their demoniac cry at the begin
ming of the war, tsthe last man and the
last dollar" he'd much more of truth in
Of their after promises. That is
what they have expected and known from
the time they first started out on their
impossible purpose They know the re
can not be subdued until they
have sacrificed to the insatiate NAV of
Abolitionism the last man and the last of
the wealth CT the country, but they care
not, so long as the smonsters who now
their feet upon the necks of the
people can riot in luxury and batten upon
the sufferings and sweat of the masses of
Dur countrymen.
How long this people. so many of them
crazed by the demon war, may submit to
all this, God alone can tell, but we hope,
# we do NOT believe, that it will not be
long. Everybody is expected once more
to attend these meetings and again devote
millions more of their hard earnings to
the filling of the draft. Will yon do it =?
This a question that rests with every man
for himself; but for us, we say that pa
thence, under these repeated and re-re-
peated wrongs and expressions, has ceas-
ed to be a virtue.

continually gathering them up, and
pressing them closely. OF the particu-
lars Of the pursuit, after FIVE o'clock, ]
know nothing norsdo know when il
closed, or anything of its results
CAVALRY OPERATIONS
The cavalry succeeded in passing
through the gaps on the Hillsboro pike
without difficulty; and a portion had
reached Brentwood, by the middle Of
the afternoon. This was Gen. Knipe's
division Of ten regiments, all well
armed, and finely mounted IL wss
their intention to do all in their power
to cut Hood off; and heard them Skin
mishing with the fUgitives, when I left
Hatch's division, of about equal
strength, held the passes on the hills,
till they heard our infantry making
their grand charge, when, after having
captured large number of prisoners,
(the 18th Tennessee alone having l75)
they hurried on to join Knipe, at
Brentwood; but whether or not the
junction was formed. l do not know
All our cavalry are down in that re
gion, and Hood will not find his retreat
easy of accomplishment
SUMMARY. !
/ estimate our loss in killed and
wounded, at 1000; and l think these
figures will not be wide of the mark,
The rebel loss in killed and wounded,
will reach 600, while we captured at
least 5000 prisoners before night fall,
and 30 cannon. | know of six squads
Of prisoners the aggregate of which was
2l62i and in every direction, while / was
returning to the city, could see droVes
of them marched along by our men.
One of these droves consisted of SO
commissioned officers, and 363 enlisted
men, all of whom were taken by Col
Hubbard's brigade of the lst division
of Gen. Smiths command They were
brought into the city, by Capt McGrew,
one of the Colonies aids. OF the num-
Der of colors captured, cannot speak.
On the whole. few victories have
been won of equal Importance to that
of yesterday. 1t seals Hoods fate, and
will convince therebels not only of the
hopelessness of regaining Tennessee,
but of the cause at large. j. B. W.

ments for skirmishers; then some three
hundred yards to the rear, was line of
breastworks of considerable strength,
which was strongly defended by infan-
try and artillery, thus leaving space
Of about four hundred yards in front
Of the main line, which was nearly
level, open corn field, over which our
men would have to charge, even after
they bad secured the first line Of works;
though Hood even believed himself ca
pable Of holding them, as the position
was very commanding.
Being thus protected on either flank,
the rebel General was confident that
nothing but direct attack could be
.possible;-snd ample preparations had
been made to meet it Lees corps was
posted on the right; Stuart held the
centre, and cheatham the left and
Hood enjoined them, as learned from
prisoners, not to yield an inch; I" but
rather die in their tracks"
oUR POSITION
Our forces moved out in the morn
ing in the following order:
l. A. J. Smiths corps on the right,
and covering the Granny White Pike
2. The 4th corps Immediately to the
left, the lat division in the centre, the
I'd on the left, and the Sd on the right
The first division was commanded by
Gen. Kimball, the ID by Gen. Elliott,
and theSd by Gen. Beatty. These adj
vanced on the Franklin Pike, the Ist
division resting its left upon it.
3. Steedman's corps moved out
the Murfreesboro Pike, with instrnc
tons to gradually move TO the right,
and join on the Alta corps. His com
mand consisted of the division Of Gen
Cruft, and two brigades of colored
troops-the latter being on the extreme
left.
4. The 23d corps, under Gen. Scho-
field, was placed in reserve, rear the
right of Smith, to be brought into use
for hanking purposes.
5. The cavalry were sent down the
Hillsboro Pike, with orders TO operate
on the south of the range of hills, to
which have referred, and if possible
intercept the rebel retreat, or worry his
