Extracts Of a letter from m officer in the
18th Maine regiment, to his father in this
city, (P0Itlanu dated Sept. 3, 1851:
"Gen. Gr=lt has fs5ueu an order relatfag
to dtEertcre-tclling them Ii they will come
In our lines he will send them home, If in
our lines, or will give them chance 70 work
toE our Government, and the orders were
distributed to the rebs. in the picket lines.
We have number of desertess come tnevery
night. To-day we hare cheering news from
Atlanta hope 1t il true, and wish every
man who wants peace On my terms might
be placed between tic no picket lines aud
ought to be done. Things never looked bet
ter than now, and as for giving uo the whole
thing and Throwing away all those precious
lives for nothing, seems too wicked; but
hope it will not be so; and, as you say, I
wish We had the one hundred thousand men

and drive them till there would not be- one
that would own the South as his native

ever, but we Will butt their works 80 long

Ii TIE TRENCHES nEFoEE PETERSBURG,
SEPT. i, 1851.
"Our regiment uas relieved ffum tue front
line last evening for forty-e'ght hours, and
must tell You how lhe "JoAnnits'' received
the news Of the Nomination OF McCletl3o.
TDey seemed to t9ke more Interest tH.the'
Chicago Convention than We did; were very
anxious TO get on: test papers, and probl.
tIy IN hour utter NC had received the nG~s
Of the nomination they had heard 1t, as they
eet up cheering along their eutire line, and
TIT tIr bands play ed the *Donnie Blue Flag"
Their cheering sounded harshly ppon loyal
ears.
"TAc .Johnnies' seem delighted ut tho
idea OF sceesatfon Of hostilitits and q con.
ycblion OF Statea, as this would giye them
time tu recruit and gather supplies In a talk
with 1ehel- prisoner he said TO me. Give
us cessation Of hostilities oulE for three
months, ald VT can then fight you for
five years longer! But co matter how long
we have cessation Of kostilities, the end viii
be the same. fon nave either to conquer
lis, OF VIC to conquer yeu.' THIS rebel was
FRANK aud now is 1t not a1sgr3cetul, humIi
istiEg and couardly to talk ii . cessation Of
hoetflitlcs at this present u.ne,- when the
rebels are truly on their last legs. Ali that
is wanting il fifty thousand good fresh men,
cent here to assist ous tired aud w0rn.out
army. drm1y belieVe-and this is the be-
lief Of our eptirearmy-that with only fifty
thousaId fresh men here, Grant would soon
be in Riclmund. Our situation 18 now SO
firm and tute that no rebel army can disturb
MS. But Ut NEED fresh men to advance.
II Ibave hot seen the first man who Is In
favor Of cessation Of hostIlttfcs,' No, no.
Fight oni ID now the word. Every man here
sces aid knows the condition of the rebel
hrpy, SID it cunlnt hold out Wlen tlfty
thousand freEh troops are brought against 1t.
We ere now connecting the Welden and
City Point Railroad, and ne mean to hold
the road"
