DEsBRTIoSs FROM THR REBEL Army
The rumors of discomfort in the rebel
army in Georgia are not without
foundation, especially among conscripts.
A soldiers letter, dated at Atlanta
about the close of last month, says:
A night or two since one OF our sol
diers on the skirmish line saw secesh'
making signs to him to come over. AT
first the Union boy couldn't see it but
on being assured that nothing would
happen to his harm he ventured over to
the rebel lines. He was there informed
that about four hundred rebel conscripts
were heartily sick and tired of the war,
and were anxious to come In and give
themselves up. The difficulty was to
get away, as every movement was
watched with the greatest suspicion,
and any soldier attempting TO desert to
our lines would be instantly shot down
and they wanted to make some arrange
ment with our men which would enable
them to surmount this impeachment
The following plan was agreed upon
That night the rebels were to advance
on our skirmish line, each party firing
| over the heads OF the other, and as sool
| as the rebels were near enough, they
were to throw down their arms anC
pass into the Union lines. The pla'
worked to a charm, and that night tn
rebel army was minus four hundre'

that about four hundred recruits on
their way to the front, marched to Gen.
Wool's residence in Troy, on Friday

and made short speech in response TO
their cheers, saying how glad he was to
see such a good class of soldiers and

THE INSURGENTS IN PENNSYLVANIA
The drafted men who recently banded
together in the mountains of Columbia
county Pa, and defed the civil author
tiles, it appears, were from several coun-
ties in Pennsylvania, and some from
New York, and were instigated and en-
couraged by citizens of Columbia coun-
ty to make resistance Gen. Couch sent
force of about thousand men into
the neighborhooa, and arrested one hun
dred OF the citizens implicated in the
troubles. Orders were issued to the in
surgent forces to lay down their arms
and return to their allegiance, which
many of them did, but the rest pushed
further on into the mountains. and at
last accounts-September 6-were en-
camped in gorge, where they had in
trenchments and two field pieces. They
are said to number from three to fivc
hundred. Gen. Couch's forces were
pressing on, but with little expectation
that the insurgents would fight.

The BoLr OF THE PEACE DEMOCRATS

The BoLr OF THE PEACE DBNooRArs.-
Woods organ, the New York Daily
News, repudates Mcclellan on account
of his letter of acceptance, and demands
the reassembling of the Chicago conven-
ton. 1t says either the platform must
be remodeled Or q new candidate nomi-
mated. The News argues the case forci-
bly, and with the indignation Of one
who feels that he has been cheated. 1t
says:
George B. Mcclellan was nominated
upon platform that promises an imme-
diate cessation of hostilities and con-
vention of air the states. Does he stand
upon that platform to-day He does
not. He has renouneed that platform
in his letter accepting the nomination.
1t is as if the bridegroom should accept
the brides property, but not her person.
A bond like that is null and void. The
peace party will not consent to have
their principles betrayed and then do
homage to the betrayer. The democra-
cy must seek candidate who will stand
upon the platform, for they cannot con-
sistently support one who is in collis-
sion with the convention that rendered
him the nomination

liz answer 70 a question very distinctly,
if not very appropriately, put to US, as to
what We think ought to be done in the
matter OF the GOveuorsbip at the State Con-
VentiOu in August next, we deem it our
duty to say frankly that we think Governor
BoremAn should DO re-nominated.
Why should We change noW2
In looking over the whole field we do
not see that the State is to be bettered in the
choice of an other man.
In saying this much it is but right that
We should add what perhaps may not be
generally kuoWn-and that is that no man
in the State is more willing and anxious to
lay aside the robes of Office than Governor
B brennan. He was not candidate in the
first instance with his own consent and he
does not cOVet second term. He simply
stands ready to acoede to the wishes of the
people according as they may be expressed
in the Convention.
Change is not desirable for mere change
sake at time like this.
This is our answer in brief 70 day. We
may have more TO say on the subject some
other time. Those who differ with US shall
be gladly heard to any proper extent in
our columns.

THERE was quite discussion in the
Unitsd States Senate, the other day, on
the case of the Arkansas Senators, which
made at least one thing evident, and that
is that the different parties on the recon-
sIruction question do not care enough about
their pet theories to be consistent with
them-in fact care nothing about the theo-
ries themselves except as means to other
ends, personal, partisan or patriotic, which.
ever they may be. Reverdy johnson
secuted Mr.. Summers State suicide theory
uddenied strsnuously that any state can
get out of the Union, insisting that every
southern man is to be held AMI treated as
q citizen of the United States, aud every
loyal man there as having all the rights of
citizen, aud yet he went for rejecting the
Arkansas senators and for denying to the
reconstructed states any voice in the pres
idsutial election. E.tss
Mr.. Johnson's objection lies chiefly
against this latter consequence of his own
theory. Mr.. Sumner pointed out the in
eonSistsncy of the Maryland senator, and
then went on to mention that there is moth
ing in the objectionGraised to Andy John
son as candidate for Vice President ON
account of his state being out of the Union,
because Mr.. Johnson himself refused to
seceds and has maintained his loyalty to
the United States. 1t was quite easy for
Mr.. johnson to show the Massachusetts
senator that his argument for Andy John.
son and his state suicide theory do not
hang together at all. No matter; If q man
has practical wisdom when it comes to &C.
ton, he may be permitted to nurse his pet
theories and be as Inconsistent as he pleases
And the Democrats are no better of, for
they go square against the suicide theory,
and insist that no State is out ofthe Union;
how then can they object to State govern
mentS in the South and their representa-,
tivsS, when those governments are indis.
Putably in the hands of the loyal men of
those States Yet they oppose all recog.
milton of the reconstructed States, aud ACT
as if they accepted the State suicide theory,
which they denouuse, merely for the sake
of opposing the Administration. Such are
the Inconsistencies and contradictions of
politics without principles and principles
too radical for practical use.
