Once admit the Union, once more ac-
knowledge the authority of the National
Government, and Instead of deyoting your
houses ard streets, and roads the dread uses
OF war, !, and this army, at once becom me
your protectors and supporters, shielding,
you from danger, let it come from what
quarter it may. | know that a few indi~
vlduas cannot resist a torrent OF error and
passion such as has swept the South into
rebellion; but you can point out 80 that
wemay know those who desire Govern
ment aud those who insist on war and its
desolation. You might as well appeal gainst
the thunder storm as against these terrible
hardshps of war. They are inevitable, and
the only way the people of Atlanta can hope
once more to live in peace and quiet at
home, is to stop this aca9, which can alone
be done by admitting that it begun in error
and is perpetuated in pride. We don't want
your negroes or youl horses or your houses
or your land, or anything you have; but
do want and will have Just Obedience TO tile
Ja10s Of the United States. That we will
have, and if it involves the destruction of
your improvements we canuot help it. You
have heretofore read public sentiment in
your newspapers that live by falsehood and
excitement, and the quicker you seek
for truth in other quarters, the better for
you
repeat, thon, that by the original compact
otgo0ernmsntt The United States had certain
rights in Georgia 0hich haze neUer been reJin
gujshed and neUer wiz be; that the South be-
gan the war by Selling forts, arsenals, mints
custom houses, ETC., etc, long before Lincoln
was installed, aud before the South had one
jot or title of provocation. |, myself, have
seen in Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and
Mississippi, hundreds and thousands of wo
men and children fleeing from your armies
and desperadoes, hungry, and with bleed
ing feet. In Memphis, Vicksburg, and Mis-
sisippi, we fed thousands upon thousan DIS of
the families of rebel soldiers left on our
hands, and whom we could not see starve.
Now, that war comes home to you, you
feel very different-you deprecate its hor-
rors, but did not feel them when you sent
car loads Of soldiers and ammunition and
moulded shells and shot to carry war into
Kentucky and Tennessee and desolate the
homes of hundreds and thousands of good
people, who only ask to live in peace at
their old homes, and under the Government
of their inheritance, But these comparisons
are idle. want peace, and believe it Can
only be reached through Union and war,
and will ever conduct war purely with
view to perfect an early success
But, my dear sirs, when that peace does
come, you may call on me for anything.
Then l will share with you my last cracker
and watch with yoa to shield your homes
and families against danger from any quar-
ter Now, YOU must 90 and take with you
the old and feeble feed and nurse them,
and build for them in more quiet places
proper habitations to shield them against
the weather, until THE MAD PASSIONS OF MEN
COOL DOWN AND ALLOW THE UNION AND PEACE
ONCE MORE TO SETTLE ON YOUR OLD HOMES AT
ATLATNA.

The editor Of the British american, of
Kingston G. W., who was recently at Hall

there with the first officer Of the rebel pirate

That the opinion was universal among
his people that the present campaign was
the final one of the war-the South only
requiring to hold their own during the pres

snsure the SUCCESS Of the Copperhead ca"d-

JACKSON TEMPLE, one of the great squibs of
the latter day Democracy, in his speech on
Tuesday night, in an attempt to show that
the President did not desire resolution of
the Union, argued that it could be no possible
benefit to him, as in that event he would not
have the shadow of chance for reelection.
The inference, of course, is that the votes of
the rebels would be cast for Mcclellan and
against Lincoln. This is exactly what Union
men have always declared, and the Copper
heads as persistently denied. No honest,
man who understands the relation of parties
to the rebellion, can for moment deny that
if the opportunity offered, there would be the
most cordial understanding and the most per-
feet coalition between Little Mac and his SUP.
