EDITORS ONO STATESIdA&
send you the following extract from
private letter Just received from an intelli-
gent soldier in Sherman's army, formerly
citizen Of this placersnd &membet of the
bar. The statements he makes, are wei
worth the attention Of the Democracy as
the observatiohs'o Of one of those whom they
have sentito the Held. The 1efterls dated
AsNear Atlanta, August ID" and alter speak
ing Of thecampaign and Of political matters
generally, the writer says.
This army has a correct view of this war,
and the Importance, of 1al early settlement
of'afiairs, or somebadyelse do the fighting.
There is not more. than one out of every
three of the Reppb bliean nparty that will vote
for Lincoln, and the old Constitutional
Democracy, win support Mcclellan. This
is the fact nSthe' army from New Orleans
to Mobile and from Mobile to the army OF
Sherman. Such a change in the public
opiuionsof the Army is truly incredible, but
it is a truth-a fact that cannot be gain
sayed. Mcclellan is the man. If nomi-
nated, he will get large majority OF the
Army of the Cumberland. j.

Larceny Justified.

The Toledo Blade, like most Of the rural
Abolition papers following in the wake Of
the senile Cincinnati Gazette, accepts the let
tiers stolen from VOORHEES, office as evi-
ldence that the parties to that correspondence
are convicted traitors. We should like to
hear how, when, and by whom, they were
convicted, tried, or even arrested. The
aauthorities'' for whom the Abolition pa
.pers have such scrvile respect, must be sim
gularly negligent in allowing Mr.. VooR-
HEEs and his correspondents to go at large
when they are, according to the Abolition
Journals, so clearly proven guilty oftreason.
The Blade, as matter of course, sees moth
ing mean or dishonorablc in the larceny of
private letters, when the theft is supposed
10 advance partisan success, and In effect
justifes the theft.
" The truth about this Indiana conspiracy
business Is that the treason is In the Cincin-
natl Gasstte's exposure, is all in the head
lines prepared by the editor; there is none
in the stolen letters. And If anybody de-
serves punishment In connection with the
business, It is CARRINGToN, MoRToN, JONES,
and those guilty Of stealing other peoples
letters. We have read the whole bundle
of stuff paraded as treason, and, as far as
we can see, the parties who pilfered the let
ters are the only ones guilty of violation
Of any law, moral or legislative.

Delegates and citizens from all the States
-stfll In the Union are now focking to Chi
cago upon mission the Importance Of
which cannot be over-estinated.. The fact
Ifs everywhere recognized that upon the ac-
tion of that Convention depends the destiny
of theAmerican Union. 1t has with 1t the
hopes, the fears, the aspirations, and the
reliance of thirty millions of people. 1t is
the exponent and the representative OF the
american Democracy an organization
which, however much it may be derided
IN adversity--however much 1t may be
charged with a want of patriotism and
wisdom by the underlings and serfs OF
a corrupt and depraved Administration
Is Still q power in the land, and the
last to which the suffering people look
for succor and relief from the terrors
and sufFerings which for four years have
enveloped the country. That Convention is
truly the last refuge of civil liberty and coh-
stitutional government; it is the last tribu-
nal at which the capacity of the people for
self government is to be defended and up
held. If it falters in its duty or if it fails
in its mission, there is no new oasis in the
desert of despotism to be hoped for. IT. as
we trust and believe will be the case, har-
mony prevails and the ancient courage
and consistency of the Democracy
are manifest, if the representatives there as
sembled are inspired by the wisdom, the
foresight and the firmness that inspired our
fathers when they first won the liberty we
have until recently enjoyed-the event will
be as grand and the result as glorious as
any commemorated In our history. The
Democracy look to that Convention with
absorbing hope and abiding confidence.
May the Ruler of nations and of men or
dain that the one shall not be disappointed
nor the other misplaced.

WELLEs BROWN, a glib-tongued mulatto,
discourages the enlistment of colored men,
as we should judge by the following ex-
tract from his speech made in Boston re-
Gently:
"At first desired that colored men should
90 to the war, to convince this God-forsaken
nation that black men are as valiant as
other men. But our people have been so
cheated, robbed, deceived, and outraged
everywhere, that cannot urge them to go.
We have an imbecile administration, and
the most imbecie management that it is
possible to conceive Of"
There have been some score or more OF
Democratic editors arrested for discour-
aging enlistments and speaking disrespect-
fully of Old Abe. We will now see whether
the person of negro is more sacred than
that of Democrats

RELIGIOUS ToLERATIoN is not among the

descended from Praise-God- Bare Bones and

its genius is marked by malignant bigotry.
1t illustrated its descent few days age. by
denying dying soldier in the hospital at

Z THE BRANDING" PROCESS in NEW JEh-
sEY.-The Newark IN. JD Journal states
that ON Friday last great excitement oc-
Cured at Morristown, In that State, on ac-
count of the "branding" of man named
Beach, who offered to enlist. The Journal
He presented himself at the Provost Mar
shal's office in Morristown few days ago,
and was handed over to the examining sur
geon, DIR. T.. w. Wittingham, Of Milburn,
and his assistant, DR.. F. N. Bennett OF
Orange, to make the necessary examlna-
tion. when he was rejected for physical dis-
ability, and was branded on his back with
caustic. We have the statement from per-
sons who saw the mark, and they describe
1t as being In the form of cross, the
strokes about three inches in length, and as
broad as a mans finger. The caustic i'm
mediately burnt through the skin and pro-
duced raw, blistering sore, causing mucn
pain and sickness to the unhappy man.
Mr.. Beach exhibited the marks to several
persons at hotel in Morristown and then
proceeded home. His friends at Rockaway
were naturally indignant when informed OF
the outrage, and legal proceedings were i'm
mediately instituted against DR.. WHITING
ham. The latter, hearing of the excitement,
attempted to escape but was arrested by the
Sheriff, and committed to Jail, but subse-
quently released. Tine populace,.it seems,
threatened him with personal violence. DR..
Bennett was also put under bonds.

The Senate bill appropriating S25 900 900 for
the three months troops rendered by the Western
Governors, was reported by Mr. Garfield from
the House Military Committee and went through
to-day almost without debate. There is gen
eral feeling, however. against raising troops for
so short time and most want them held for at
least six months. Governor Brongh urgently

in Indiana. His Excelleney is the Republican
candidate for Governor, hence his selfishness be-
came paramount to his patriotism. In this mat
ter. as il has been in his entire administration of
public affairs since he became Governor, his in

The Louisiana Battles.

We re-publish this week, the st Louis Re
publican's account Of the late battles in Louisi-
ana. 1t is the most interesting and complete,
especially so far as Indiana troops were con
cerned, Of any that has appeared. The criti-
cisms of the Republicans correspondent upon
the geueralship of Mr. BANKS are somewhat Sc
we're. but they appear to be just. The folly
of placing important military trusts in the hands
of political Generals was never more apparent,
but as Honest Old Abe is exceedingly anxious to
behead his opponents in his party. pre-
sumo tive experiment will be repeated until his
rivals are disguised of.
Mr.. LINCOLN has but one idea, and that is a
re election to the Presidency. To secure that
prize. he regards it. he ready to sacrifice
friends, party and country. And what is more
unfortunate. to advance these schemes of per-

Hearfless,

General GARFIELD. when he published the
forged letters of JoHN G DAVIS and d r.
EcKLEs. knew that RANKIN was in the Concedsra-
cy in the character OF spy. The publication of
those letters. whether forged or genuine revealed
the position of RANKIN, and of course exposed
him to the punishment of spy. He was not
only in the employ of the Government and en-
titled to its protection on that account, but a
Republican he should have had the sympathy
aud consideration Of his party friends But this
generosity. kindness and good'faith was not ex-
tended to him. General GARFIELD. Republican
partisan, for the purpose of making little party
capital. was ready to sacrifice the life of party
friend. He was willing that RANKIN should be
hung a spy. if the sacrifice would damage his
political opponents. Thi. evidence of heartless-
ness on the part of General GARFIELD and his
political associates. is anything but creditable to
them and the cause they profess to represent.

i'm Washington Re
ported Rebel Movements.

The Washington correspondent OF the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. writing under date of the 2ist,
gives the following floating rumOrs at the capital
in reference to rebel movements, and states that
they cause considerable uneasiness in Adminis--
tration circles;
A gentleman who Processes to know as much
of Administration secrete any one. says the
trouble is an apprehension that Washington is
not safe from rebel gunboats. That the Presi
dent has received Information that a-fleet OF
iron-cad rams and gcnboats Of the most ap-
proved structure, is ready-to come out Of the
James river. and not only destroy Washington,
but threaten Philadelphia. New York and Boston.
In addition to the feet airesdv in Southern
waters, il is said that about thirty additional
iron-cads from England will soon be on their
way to the South, professionally blockade
runners.
That is one Of the reasons assigned for the
panic now pervading the Administration circles
new feature is to be given to the contest. and
that which has given to Federal arms all that
il has acquired so far in the war, is to be
contested on the and rivers with the same
stubbornness that has marked the strife on land.
Another reason assigned for the disturbance is
that Lee has already made his preparations for
forward movement, and intends to march on
Washington before Gen. Grant gets his army in
