Iipcoln.s Platform.

We print this morning the resolutions
passed by the oface-holder's convention tfq
which lately assembled in Baltimore They
are pat forward as the platform OF prlnci-
eplesa5 Of the Republican party, and the Ia
test standard Of 'loyalty." Weare not yet
informed whether they are to be boiled
down into test oath, to be administered
TO every man who desires to vote in tne
next Presidential election, but We have been
given to understa nd by various bodies, eccle-
siastical, social and political, several months
ago, that no person could be loyal to his
country, fit for respectable or intelligent
society here on earth, or, by any possibility,
be admitted hereafter to share the joys oil
the redeemed in Heaven, unless he can
swallow. without wry lace, all the doc
ttine contained in these resolutions. Those
who desire to be usry respectable and oery
sloyal" will be expected to commit the
resolutions to memory, and repeat them,
either orally or mentally, three times day,
having their faces turned toward Washing
ton CITY. 1t will also be expected that
copy of the resolutions be placed at night,
beneath the pillow of every truly "loyaP'
man in order that no dreams of disloyalty,
nav haunt his slumbers and that he may
be free from the clutches of the somnam-
bulic Provost Marshals. In case the "loy
alist' is unable to read, or has defective
memory, it will only be necessary Tor him
to wear upon his neck neat brass collar,
upon which the resolutions may be engra--
we'd, and to which may be suspended cir
cular piece of leather, stamped with the fea'
lures of LINCOLN aud JOHNSON, and bear
ing the legend, "ABE and ANDY A large
number of our prominent public men, al
ready wear collars of this description.
? e.. We regret that the Baltimore Conven'
ton failed to define exactly what loyal >
man should believe, concerning the position
of affairs at Richmond. We presume, how
ever, it will be safe to "swear by" Stan
toms dispatches, which, Notwithstanding
they may very seldom be true, will never
theless, always be "loyal." There will
probably be other plauks added to the plat
form, and other articles to the creed, as
events may ariss during the progress of the
campaign. Mr.. LINCOLN is controlled BY
events, and there is no telling with certain
ty, what may be his position, and, by con-
sequence, what may be the standard o
y aloyalty'' three months, or three week
hence. We will try, however, to keep on
readers posted. ..

MOVEMENTS OF THE REBEL ARMY.

ATLANTA, June 2, 1864.
A despatch from New Hope, Ga, reports
skirmishing all along the line on the I'd of
June; also that Dallas was evacuated by
the Union forces on the lst instant.
The movement of the Yankee army to.
wards the Etowah river is generally accept
cd here as REIMBURSEMENT of the son to
Atlanta movement" The Yankee loss since
the advance from Chattanooga is estimated
at 10000 wounded, and $4,000 sick, miss
ing and prisoners.
1t is reported that at Kingston the forage
is all eaten out and that the country is raw
aged Of every particle of food.
Gen. G. w. Smith has been unanimously
elected Maj. Gen., to command the Georgia
reserve troops.
Gov. Brown is engaged in preparing the
State troops for active service.
Lowell has rendered his services to Gen.
Johnston, and has been here on important
services. He has left for the front.
An official despatch from Atlanta says:
On the evening of the 9th the enemy at
tackled Cleburne fiercely, and was signally
repulsed. Our casualties amounted to 500.
The enemy left hundred dead on the
field. At night Cleburne attacked them,
capturing 200 prisoners without loss.
Another despatch says:
The fight commenced about 8 M. on
the 9th, and continued till dark, when both
armies lay down upon their arms within q
hundred yards of each other during the
night. As soon as day made its appearance
the deadly combat was renewed.
The enemy cossed the Etowah river at
the Kingston bridge on Monday evening,
and marched in the direction of Dallas, via
Stilesborough. On Thursday his advance
guard dashed into Dallas, capturing and
carrying off several prisoners, among them
a major, whose name we did not learn.
They were led by tory spy and aanked
all our pickets, who were guarding every
approach to the place. Their line of battle
was formed on Tuesday evening, four miles
East of Dallas, on the Marietta & Dallas
Railroad, around which most of the fighting
has been going on. The troops engaged on
our side were Folks and Hsrdee's corps.
1t seems to be Shermans intention to
continue in the direction of Atlanta by his
usual tianking ingenuity. | learn that he
is now attempting to move large force on
Johnston's right, thus fanking Johnston
above and below. This, however will prove
failure. Johnston has got Sherman where
ne wants to make the fight to save Atlanta.
There is somebody in Sherman's rear. His
whole cavalry was ordered in the direction
Of Chattanooga just before he crossed the
Etowah on Monday. Wheeler was then
sent in Sherman's immediate rear. Should
the engagement be renewed Tomorrow,
Hoods corps will be near enough to parti.
cipate in or check another attempt to flank
our right.
B0ar losses in yesterdays fight are com.
small, while that of the enemy
is reported as very heavy.
P. S.-Since writing tie above learn
from reliable source that Johnston flank
ed the enemy's right, driving him back be
yond Dallas, with heavy loss, the centre
and right of our army repulsiug him at
every engagement. 80 '' ID

The Tragedy At zsnsuviIls.

The GAINESVILLE Courier gives the following
account of the murder in that place on Thurs
day, of which mention has been made in our
dispatches "John Launder meeting q SOL
dier, David B. Monroe, in coffee-house, in
vited him out doors, where be handed him a
newspaper, (the Crisis.) Monroe made the
remark If that is all you want OF me, will
go back He had scarcely started, when
Launder drew pistol from his pocket and
shot Monroe dead, the ball entering his brain.
Launder was Immediately taken into custody,
but before he could reach the watch-house,
the news had spread to some soldiers near by,
who made dash to rescue aud lynch him on
the spot. Three or four soldiers assisted
greatly in keeping the others at bay, and at
last succeeded, but not until Launder had
been badly beaten. Several hundred enraged
soldiers Immediately collected in front of the
building, and insisted on getting the murder
er. At one time lin spite of the Marshal,
Captain Whissin, and others,) one of the
front doors was forced open. Colonel Pond
arrived at this juncture, and made the men a
speech promised that Launder should receive
the extent of the law, when they, with one
accord, like thorough soldiers, desisted, and
retired from the building. Launder was soon
after removed to the jail" ~

A report comes from North Carolina of a
shocking act of inhumanity performed by the
rebel officers in command in that State. 1t
said that twenty-three loyal North Carolini-
ans belonging to Colonel Fosters regiment. and
taken prisoners not long ago 10 an engage
mont between our forces and the edemy, were
hanged at KiDston "as deserters from the
Confederate CONSUMPTION" It is difficult to
believe that such an atFocious act as this
could be permitted by the rebel leaders; but
the Raleigh journals give reports OF the hang
ing, aud there appears to be no doubt that
these twenty three poor fellows were thus
murdered in cold blood. The behavior of the
rebel leaders recently has shown their desper.
alton; like gamblers whom losses have made
mad, and whom ruin stares in the face, they
play wildly.
Our government will not we hope, let this
act of wholesale murder pass without proper
notice. To retaIiate upon innocent individ-
uals the barbarous deeds of unscrupulous lead
ers is always hardship but this hanging of
loyal men must be stopped; and if no other
way appears, it will become our duty to set
up the galloWs; only, in that case, we hope
that officers; and, as far as possible, rene
gade West Point officers, will be selected to
suffer. ssa
It is a curious comment upon the spirit in
which the war is conducted by the two sides,
that while we have never yet hanged a man,
even Of those West Pointers and navy officers
who 50 shamefully deserted their flag, though
many of them have been in our hands, the reb-
ell leaders have on several occasions inflicted
death upon those who remained loyal to the
Union. l. will hardly do for the rebel chiefs
to be sticklers for allegiance; scarcely one of
them but has violated dozen solemn oaths of
fidelity besides the natural allegiance they
owed to the Union. IF they claim the right
to hang loyal citizens because they refuse to
submit to the rebel rules, they command and
authorize US thereby to hang every West
Point man in the rebel service, and when JEFF
Davis signed the death warrant of these North
Carolina Unionists he set up a precedent
which condemns him to the galIows, twice over
as a deserter.
The rebels claim that these citizens, whom
they hang, are deserters from their army
The conscripiion act, they say, places every
man in the South in their army; therefore any
man who joins the Union forces is a deserter.
But we reply, our national enrolment act pla-
ces every man in the South in our army; and
if we were to act upon the principle adopted
by the rebels, we should be authorized to hang,
as deserters, all rebels who fall in our hands.
Our government has been slow to resort to
retaliation; and this is right. But it cannot
suffer the murder of these twenty-three North
Caroliuians to pass unnoticed- especially
when q number more are threatened with
the same fate.-NetU York Post.

ArkauSas Free State.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, March 18.-Partial
election returns from eleven counties give more
votes than the whole number required by the
Presidents proclamation to replace Aarkansas
in the Union. The other counties to be heard
from, forty-three in number, will give fully
5000 more votes. The new State Constiiu-
tion framed by the last convention was almost
unanimously ratified, there being, so far, only
137 votes against it. Arkansas is thus de.
clared free State in the Union by the volun-
tary action Of its own citizens.
Governor Isaac Murphy and the whole State
ticket iq elected. Guerrilla bands made viu-
lent threats, notwithstanding which the citizens
were enthusiastic in their determination to
vote the State back into the Union, many
going to the polls at the imminent risk of their
lives. The military authorities used every ex-
ertion to protect the Votets.
