GA THREATENING FINGER."-It seems
from special from Washington to the
Cincinnati Gazette, that eminent legal au-
thorities connected with the Government
have determined on the suppression OF
disloyal tmeaning Democratic) papers in
Ohio, and that if Governor BrougIh con
ours, the programme will be carried out.
All we have TO say on that subject is,
that we have consulted, and know the o.
pipions of higher and more eminent au-
thority than the cabal at Washington-we
mean the people and they have sworn
bv the liberties that our forefathers be,
oueathed us, that the suppression shall moi
aike p!acs. An eye for an eye, and tooth
for tooth, is their motto now. Let ty,
rants beware! In place of a threatening
finger they may see awhole hand'-Day

PEACE-TuE UNIoN.--Presldent Lincoln
has made the lssue-a war for the abolition
of slavery in the States-no negotiation
for peace until slavery is abolished. the
Democrats accept the issue. They will
negotiate for peace, and secure it, with
the Union, if possible, without regard to
slavery or any other local State institution.
In this all the Democracy and the Con-
seryativo men are united. The Albany
Arg@ (War Dcmocratl does not hesitate
to take up The issue.
The World War says:
"The new President to DO nominated
at Chicago and elected in November,
must be man ready and ,gilLing 10 nee! any
anil cvcry oucrhtrG for peace, man who shall
represent truly the dignity and power Of
tho nation, and who will not be unwilling
even to tender an ARMlsTICG SUGGESTING a
NATIONAL CONVENTION on ALL THE
STATES"
The New York Nsvg (Peacel says:
"The Peace Democracy will endorse o
nomination that faithfully represents the
sentiments here stated. They are willing
to trust to the good sense and patriotism
of the people for the realization of a def
nltc peace as tho sequel of an arnlistlce
and National Convention"
And so on, throughout the country
There is no longer any distinction among
Democrats. The Chicago Convention will
be united, and the Democracy and the
Conservative men Of the country in the
coming Presidential contest will become 0
unit.-Huyord Times.

THE WAR NEWS.

me truth OF Gen. Grants late move
meht is at length explained. On both
sues OF the James he has been repulsed
"arfen's Corps, near the Weldon Rail
road was surprised and severely handled
on Saturday, and lost two thousand nriso.
hers and one thousand killed and wound.
ed' 1T was forced almost q mile down tho
weldon Railroad. On Saturday night the
corps intrenched ITSELF and on Sundov
was reinforced, most probably bv n nor
ton Of Iancock's Corps. On the mort h
I"hN OF the James, as we reported yester-
Day Blrney's Corps was withdrawn to
Gon IToaana,. Toa'on' on Friday night, however,
gered, abandoned all that portion of
White Oak Swamp which he had held
north OF the village of New Market. On
saturday he received orders to march to
the south side of the James. New Market
was abandoned, and Birney's Corps at
Deep Bottom, was left to hold the small
amount of ground North of Fosters earth
wor rs which it was thought necessary to
retain. Hancock's Corps crossed to the
south SIDE OF the James, and it is suppos-
ed was sent to aid Warren. On SUNDAY
night, when our intelligence closed, eyery
thing was quiet. Warren was intrenchcd
on the Weldon Railroad, and Birney at
Deep Bottom.
Gen. Sherman seems TO have given up
any further attempts either to reach the
Macon Railroad or to get into Atlanta
His troops are idle, and remain in their
works without rislling any contests. The
correspondents Of the newspapers are de-
spondent. Many have left the camp.-I
They state that Sherman has stretched
bis line out until he has reached twelve
miles southeast Of Atlanta, and still he
finds the enemy on the alert, and protec
ted by strong works. lie cannot outfank
them. Sherman is now intrenching the
north bank Of the Chattahoochee, and it |
looks as if ha contemplated retreat on
that side of the river. There is anything
but exultaton in his camp. The Federal
cavalry have cut the railroad leading from
Atlanta TO Montgomery, about twenty-five
miles from Atlanta. They haze with
drawn, however, and the road is repaired
Sherman's communications with the north
were interrupted for about four days. They
are now reopened.
There is very littlo authentic news from
the Shenandoah Valley. Sheridan is on
the Potomac, his troops ranging from
lIarper's Ferry to Williams port The
Conteierates are very near the river, and
it i3 reported they have appeared on the
SV2hern bank. The entire valley has
troops have retreateu euo,,G,sI .-.;.lop;s
Smokers Gap, towards Leosburg. They
will try to prevent Il Confederate advance
10y that road towards Washington, if one
is intended.
We have Confederate advicos from No
bile to last Tuesday. Nothing had occur
ed, and Fort Morgan still held out. The
Confederate Gen. Gardner, tly pri-
sonor, had been named as CommGnder-in-
Chief at Mobile.
Gen. Sheridan has been reinforced 10y
the balance of the Nineteenth Army Corps
from New Orleans. The detachment
numbers six thousand.
Illinois has been made q separate mill
tary district, to be commanded by the no
torious Gen. Payne,
