Letter fLnm Gen. Carl Sehurz.

The Chairman of the Union State Com
mittee has received the following letter
from Gen. ScHURz in reply to note inviting
him to return to this State and address the
people in support of the Union ticket:
BErHIEHEM, Pa, Sept. goth, ga.
Horace Rp5!ee, Esq, Chairman Union STATE
Committee, Madison, Ms.
Ny DEAR SIR Your letter did not reach
me until yesterday
You were right in discrediting the report
that had Joined some faction OF the oppo-
sition to the National Union candidates 'As
the best army is exposed to defeat without
unity of command, SO the greatest and
strongest of causes is in danger of failure, if
there is no unity of action among its adher-
ents. The stake is so tremendous that no
man, who sincerely loves his country, will
choose this time for a ventilation of private
griefs, personal resentments or little differ
ences of opinion. TsF.z
| shall be most happy to visit the State be-
fere election, if it can be made possible. Es-
pecially should be happy to contribute lit
tie to the success of my dear and noble
friend Gen. HALBERT E. PAINE, whom the
Union men Of the first Congressional district
have done themselves the honor to select as
their standard bearer. When a constituency
has Che good fortune of finding among its
candidates a man, who with such talents
unites such a character, it would seem to be
matter of honor as well as interest for eve
ry citizen, whatever his party affiliations may
be, to improve the rare opportunity.
/ am, dear sir,
49,, Very truly yours,
G. ScHURz.

The Shirt Of Meclellan,s supporters.

The blatant treason that was the conspicu-
Gus element in the speeches of the Demo
cratic leaders at Chicago, was not more
significant Indication of the true spirit and
purposes of the political demagogues who
are seeking to elect MCCLELLAN and PENDLE-
signs carried at Mcclellan meetings. At
the recent Democratic ratification in Philadel-
phia transparency was paraded through the
streets by by Little Macs supporters, which
is thus described by the Press of that city:
ais"The next remarkable display that came
under our notice was a transparency, about
six feet by eight feet. This was carried in
wagon by the delegation from the Seven
teenth w ard, where a majority was, cast re-
Gently in opposition to the soldiers voting
This transparency bore as its motto Tie
Craze of de Union 1t was evident that the
artist who did the work paid some attention
to the display. Represented President Lin
coin and his Cabinet officers in a hearse.-
This melancholy vehicle was drawn by the
most prominent Generals in the American
army, now engaged in enforcing obedience to
the laws. The Generals were represented as
having the bodies or forms OF jackasses or
horses, with human heads. Expressions, sup
posed TO have emanated from the lips of each
General, were painted in black letters, but
not sufficiently distinct as to be readily seen
or deciphered Beneath the figures were the
names of Lieut.. Gen. u. S. Grant and Major
Generals, President Lincoln and Cabinet
officers
seen Grant was made to say, i PULL FOR
THE SIDE THAT PAYS BEST In the foreground
were two collins, one labeled Union,' and the
other Constitution

Cen. Phil. Sheridan.

Some time ago, before Gen. SHERIDAN took
command on the Shenandoah, B. +. Taylor
drew the following pen and ink sketch of
him in the Chicago, Journal. 1t will be read
with interest now:
There is no waste timber about Sheridan
not much of him, physically, but snugly put
together. A square face, warm, black eye,
pleasant smile, n reach of under jaw, show
ing that "when he will, he will, you may de-
pend ont" black hair trimmed round like a
garden border; no Hyperion curl about him
any more than there was about Cromwell's
troopers; and altogether impressing you
with the truth that there is just about as
much energy packed awayin about the small
est space that YOU ever saw in your life
Men ranging down from medium size to lit
tie, with exceptions enough to prove the rule,
seem to carry the day among the heroes
Moses was something of general, but no
Falstaff; Alexander the Great and Peter the
Great were little; Cromwell was no giant,
and as for Napoleon-why, what was he but
''the little corporal 81 Sheridan is a capital
executive officer perhaps he would be hard
ly equal to planning a great campaign, but
Jehu wouldn't he drive it I With good
piece of his head behind his ears and hardly
reverence enough for Mandarin, he is not
afraid of the face of clay. As chief of cav
airy, he is indeed chief among ten thousand.
Pleasant voiced, mild-mannered, not given to
long yarns, you would hardly suspect he is a
thunderbOlt in charge, and an emphatic hui
man syllable all over.

THREE EYES TO SEE 1--WE have the assu-
Rev. RoBERT J. BRECKENRIDGE, that Kentucky
will not swallow the Chicago Clifton Platform.
He mildly calls il "trick," and moderately
designates it as cunning swindling" thing.
In a speech to his neighbors lately, he said:
81 reckon you have all seen little instru-
menT lying on the table in some of yonr
friends parlors, by which, if you look at
thing, with both eyes at the same time, the
thing changes to some other thing, At Chi
cago, they fixed up their Platform upon the
plan of this funny instrument. If you look
at it with one eye, it is one thing-if you look
at it with the other eye, it is another thing
but if you look at it with both eyes at once,
it is something else. So, if you look at Nc
Clellan with one political eve and at Pende-
ton with the other, you don't see either
Mcclellan or Pendleton, but the one runs into
the other, and you only see the Platform
Shut your Mcclellan eye-you don't see the
Platform. Shut your Pendleton eye-yeu
don't see the Platform. You have got to look
with one eye at Mcclellan and with the other
at Pendleton, in order to see this wonderful
Platform. Oil my friends and neighbors,
the whole Chicago thing is cunning, swind-
ling trick that does not suit this latitude, and
'eiH not go dorm" -.a.r
This is about the most truthful and vivid
Characterization Of the Chicago Clifton Plat
form that we have SEEN taas
The FORTY EcoND.--We learn that the
AID Regiment did not go to Memphis as ex-
pected, but remains az Cairo, where, under
command of Col. SrRAGUE, it is doing Provost
Guard duty. When the regiment was on the
way to Cairo, vote was taken, giving owe r
700 for LINCOLN and some 35 for all others,
of which we hear MCCLELLAN had II.

Copperhead Peace Platform.
Adopted at Chicago, August sOth, 1864.


l. That in the future, as in the past, we
will adhere with answering fidelity to the Union
under the Constit utOn, as the only solid founda-
tion of our strength, security ana happiness as a
people, and framework of government equal
IN conducive to the welfare and prosperity OF all
the 5, ates, both Northern and Soathern.
:. That this Convention does explicitly de-
clare. as he sense of the American people, that
after four years of failure to restore the Union by
the experiment of war, during which, under the
preteaee of a military necessity, or war power
higher than the Constitution the Constitution it
self has been dsregarded IN every part and public
liberty and private right alike trodden down, and
the material prosperity of the country essentially
impaired, justice, humanity, liberty and the
public welfare demand that immediate Efforts
be made for a cessation of hOstiities, with view
20 an ultimate convention OF the states or other
peaceable means, to the end that at the earliest
practicable moment, peace may be restored on the
has of the Federal Union OF States.
IS. That the direct interference OF the mil
i'ary authorities of the United States in the
mt elections held in Kentucky, Maryland, Mis-
souri, and Delaware was shameful violation OF the
Constitution, and a repetition OF such acts in
the approaching election will be held revolution
airy and resisted with all the means and power I'M
der our control
4. That the aim and object of the Demo
cratic pan y is to preserve the Federal Union and
the rights OF the States paired, and they here
by decl-Te that they consider the Administrative
usuTpation of ex tordinary and dangerous powers
not granted By the Constitution; the subyersion
of the civil by military law in states not in insur
rre'ion; the arbitrary military arrest, imprson
meut, trial and sentence OF American citizens in
s ates where civil law exists in full force; the sup
preston of the freedom of speech and of the press
the denial Of the right of asylum; the open and
avOwed disregard of State rights; the employment
of unusual test oahs, andthe interference with aud
denial of the right of the people TO bear arms in
their defence, calculated to pa event restora-
ton OF the Union and the perpetuatIon Of govern
meut deriving its just powers from the consent of
the governed.
5. That the shameful disregard of the Ad-
ministration to its duty in respect to our fellow
citizens, who now and long have been prisoners of
a suffering condition, deserves the severest
reprobatiOn the alike OF public policy and
common humanity.
6. That the sympathy of the Democratic par
ty is heartily and earnestly extended to the SOL
diery OF our army, who now are and have been in
the field under the flag Of their country, and in the
event of its attaining they will receive all the
care, protection and regard that the brave soldiers
OF the Republic have so nOby earned.

CoNvALEscENT SOLDIERS IN HOSPITALS TO BE
FURLoUeHED BEFORE ELECTION Surgeon Gen.
eral BARNES has issued an order to the Super
intendents of Hospitals, directing them to
permit all soldiers able to travel, and yet un-
fit for duty, to visit their homes and remain
until after the Presidential Election. As the
order is general, and makes no exceptions,
there can be no ground for complaint if the
" straws" do not show the wind coming from
a quarter to suit the Gopperheads. f

The RIGHT KIND OF A CoMMIssIoNER.-We
have a very efficient peace commissioner in
the Shenandoah Valley. His name is PHILIP
SHERIDAN, and he has made some admirable
overtures near Winchester and Fishers Hill.
He is for unconditional peace his terms are
"the Union and the Constitution; y and he
does not depend upon exhausting the re-
sources of craftsmanship whatever the
means. All that is necessary under the plans
of this and our other peace commissioners
GRANT, SHERMAN and FARRAGUT-is for the
rebels to lay down their arms, return to their
homes, obey the laws, respect the rights OF
American citizens, and acknowledge the
Constitution and the laws under it, as the
supreme law of the land. ffEsk
When they do that they will have peace
Immediately; and this would appear to be
the quickest, cheapest and most thorough
