Official Dispatch to the ~ Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6, 1864.
The following is an extract of letter
from Lieut. Gen. Grant, dated,
Headquarters Armies of the United Safes,
City Point, Va, Aug. 16, 1864.
Hon. f. B. WAsHBoURNE.
DEAR SIR: state to all citizens who
visit ME that all we want now to ensure
an early restoration of the Union is de-
termined unity of sentiment North. The
Rebels have now in their ranks the last
man. The little boys and old men are
guarding prisoners, guarding railroad
bridges, and forming good part of their
garrisons for entrenched positions. A
man lost by them cannot be replaced
They have robbed alike the cradle and
the grave to get their present force. Be-
sides what they lose in frequent skirmish-
es and battles, they are now losing from
desertions and other causes at least one
regiment per day. With this drain up
on them the end is not far distant if we
will only be true to ourselves, Their on
ly hope now is in divided North. This
might give them re-enforcements from
Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland and Mis-
souri,, while it would weaken us. With
the draft quietly enforced, the enemy
would become despondent and would
make but little resistance. | have no
doubt but the enemy are exceedingly
anxious to hold out until after the Presi-
dental election. They have many hopes
from its effects. They hope counter
revolution they hope election of Peace
candidate, in fact, like Micawber, they
hope for something to turn up. Our
peace friends if they expect peace from
separation, are much mistaken. Itwould
be but the beginning of war, with thous-
ands of Northern men joining the South
because of our disgrace in allowing sepa-
ration To have "peace on any terms, :"
the South would demand the restoration
of their slaves already freed. They would
demand indemnity for losses sustained,
and they would demand a treaty which
would make the North slave hunters for
the South. They would demand pay or
the restoration of every slave escaping to
the North
Yours truly, Z. S. GRANT.

Indian Barbarities.

A gentleman who recently arrived at
Leavenworth from New Mexico saw at
Fort Larned boy about seventeen years
of age, resident Of Osawkee, Jefferson
county, Kansas, who had received seven
teen shots in his body. He was also
scalped, and in their endervors to get the
scalp off his head they had torn the skin
as far down as his shoulder blades. Af-
ter this was accomplished, and in order
to ascertain to certainty whether life
was extinct, they stuck their arrows and
knives into the flesh laid bare by the re-
moval of the scalp and skin. The boy
endured this torture without moving a
muscle, conscious that if he showed the
least signs of life they would kill him
He is in fair way of recovery, and has
resolved on revenge, and says Indian kill
ing will be his future occupation.-,S.

Two or Three Facts

The Coppefheads assert that Mr. Lincolr
has Deedlessly prolonged the war history
will say that General Mcclellan has done
more to Prolong the war than any other mar
IN the North
GT The Copperheads complain that Mr.
Lincoln has sanctioned arbitrary arrests; his
tory Will say that General Mcclellan was
the first, TO authorize and direct such arrests
o. The Copperbeads charge it as one Of
Mr. Lincoln's chief crimes that he has fay-
Ored an emancipation policy; history will
chow that foremost among the practical sup
Porters Of sDeh policy was General Nc
Clellan.
0- The Copperheads have abused Mr..
Linioln for resorting to draft to fill up the
Union ranks; history will say that the first
nan to advise draft was General McClel-
AN /
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1864-09-15
Justification.

When General Mcclellan was charged
at the Chicago Convention, with being a
tyrant and usurper, General Morgan
his friend, did not deny the truth of Mr.
Harris assertions, but on the contrary ad.
.mitted them, and then justified McClel-
Ian for his conduct. Everything he did
was proper, according to General Morgan.
Since the nomination, however. the
Copperhead press assert that Gen. Nc
Clellan was acting under orders from Mr..
Lincoln, and therefore, was not to blame.
Very good. We do not object to accept
ing that as the true state of the case, if
our consistent friends insist upon il. :
But where does it place them ? General
Morgan is clearly of the opinion that the
acts complained of were proper, and that
if not done would have justified charge
of treason against the delinquent. If
they were proper, and Mr.. Lincoln or
dered them to be done, why abuse him
and denounce him as tyrant? 1t can
not De possible that the same act if done
by Mcclellan would be patriotic and con-
but if done by Mr.. Lincoln
would be tyrannical and oppressive.
Take whichever horn of the dilemmal
you please gentlemen.

THE MAINE ELECTION.

The election in Maine yesterday ha
resulted in a glorious victory for the L
sion and the Administration of Abraham
lincoln. The loyal men of Maine, feel
ing the imperative obligations resting up
on them in this great crisis have achieved
a triumph that they may well be proud of
The Peace Democracy have met with
a Waterloo defeat. Everywhere they
have been routed 'IHorse, foot and ORA
goons," leaving hardly vestige behind
We have full returns from one hundred
and fifteen cities, towns and plantations
of the State, which re-elect Gov. Cony
by ten thousand eight hundred and sew
enty majority, which represents about two
ffths of the vote of the State. The re-
naming towns will give him trife over
seven thousand majority, making his ag-
gregate majority outeighteen thousand
The total vote of the State viii reach
about one hundred and twelve thousand.
of which Coney will receive about sixty
FIVE thousand. The vote will be about
seven thousand less than that of last year
aud yet his majority viii be larger, show
Tug decided relative gain. In the lead
ing Copperhead towns there has been
marked falling off from their vote of last
year, while in the strongest Union towns
there has been corresponding increase of
the Union vote, and as yet the honor of
being the banner town-throwing the
largest net increase on the aggregate vote
lies between Bridgeton and Kittery.
The Unionists have elected every men,
Der of Congress by large majorities
The Legislature will be overwhelmingly
Union. The Senate will probably be
unanimously SO, while the House will be
fve-sixths Union.
The amendment to the Constitution al |
lowing soldiers absent from the State to
vote for Governor, Senators, Representa-
tives and County officers has been adop-
ted by quite large majority.
