Proverbs from the Olden Time.

Wide ears aud short tongue. Beauty
draws more than oxen. The danger past
and God forgotten. Riches are bu, the
baggage of fortune. Willows are weak,
vel they bind other wood. Who spiss TO-
wards heaven il falls in his lace. Who
weds ere be be wise shall die ere he thrive.
Little sticks kinjls the fire, but great ones
put it out. For what thou canst do thy
self, rely no; upon others. He that hath
head Of wax must not walk In the sun.
He who hath much peas may put the more
in the pot. The smoke of mans own
house is better than the FIRE of ano.her's.
The best remedy against an i'll man is
much ground between both. There i,
one good vile ip the country, and every
one thinks he hath her. Who spends any
more than he should, shall not have it to
spend when he would. A good surgeon
must have an eagles eye, lions heart,
and lady's hand. The foot on the cra-
die, the hand on the dlstaff, is the sign
of a good housewife. When the good
man is away from home the good wlie's
table is spread.

Conspiracy in Michigan.

The military authorities at Detroit
have unearthed a branch Of the treas
enable Organization know as the Or
der of American knights. The pa.
pers were found in the safe of s.
Dow Elwood. The Advertiser and
Tribune publishes copious extracts
from these documents, comprising
portions of the ritual. oaths, obliga-
tions, charges, etc. OF their genu-
ineness there is not the shadow of q
doubt. They are the essence of pc.
dantry, blasphcmy and treason. The
organization is manifestly in the in
tcrest of Jefferson Davis and his
Southern Cross. It's influence is to
weaken the government in its efforts
to put down the rebellion and restore
the Union. Every honest man who
values the liberties conferred by the
American Republic will use every
means in his power consistent with
honor to defeat the Intentions, aims,
and Vaccinations of these mischiev-
GUS rebel plotters.

Parlee Carlin has his senses yet, and
still is esteemed an honest man. He

this game Of reporting defections
from the Union ranks is being PLAYED

stories is false. There never was a
time when Union men were SO firm,
SO confident and hopeful as now

WAR DEPARTMENT,
WAsn1NarnN. Sentemberl /. [


WASHINGTON, September4. (
To Major General Die:
Sherman's official report of the
capture of Atlanta has just been re
ccived, dated twenty six miles south
OF Atlanta at 6 o'clock yesterday
morning-havi been detained by
the breaking of the telegraph lines,
as already reported. ....
Our army withdrew from about At.
lanta, and on the 30th made a break
on the Eastpoint road, and reached Il
good position from which to strike
the Macon road. Howard was on the
tight, near Joneshoro, Schotield on
the left. near Rough and Ready
Howard found the enemy in force at
Jonesboro, and intrenched his troops
within half mile of the railroad.-
Tile enemy attacked him Mt p. NJ,
and was easily repulsed, leaving his
dead and wounded ..
Finding strong opposition on the
road. / advanced the left and center
rapidly to the railroad, and made n
a good lodgment, and broke it all the
way from Rough and Ready down 20
Howard's left near Jonesboro, and
by the same movement / interposed
my whole army between Atlanta and
that part of the enemy intrenchcd in
and around Jonesboro.
On the lst we made an attack on
the enemy ut Jonesboro, the 14th
Corps, Gen. jeff G. Davis, carrying
the works, and capturing ten guns
and one thousand prisoners. The
enemy retpated south, and We have
followed him to his hastily construct
ed lines, near Lovejoy's Station.
Hood, 6nding me on the only road
that could supply him, and between
him and considerable part of his
army, blew up the magazine in Attain
tn and left in the night.
The Goth Corps, General Slocum,
took possession of the city, so Allan
tn is ours, and fairly won.
Since the 5th of May we have been
in one constant battle or slIirmish, ,
and we need rest. Our losses won't
exceed 1900. and we have over 300
rebel dead, go wounded, and over
1900 prisoners.
TSirncd1 w. T. SHERMAN.
A Letter dispatch from General Slo-
Gun, dated on the night of the 3d, at
Atlanta, says the enemy destroyed I
locomotives and 81 ears, loaded with
ammunition, small arms and stores,
and left II pieces Of artillery mostly
uniniured, and large number of
small arms. Deserters are constantly
coming into our lines.
ISigned f. NJ. STANTON,
Secretary OF War.
We have interesting news from
General Sheridan's army. On Sat
urday, Crooks command moved to-
ward Berryvlle, and the Both Ohio
and 9th Virginia regiments captured
some rebel intrenchments A des-
perate struggle ensued, the enemy
cndeavoring to recover the works. -
They were decisively repulsed in
their several assaults. The fighting
lasted till long after dark. Our loss
was 800 killed and wounded, while
that OF tue enemy was fully one
third greater. We took 500 prison
ers and stand of eolors. Our forces
now occupy a strongly intrenched
position.

Good Reading for Everybody,

The following pithy and forcible
paragraphs, richly deserving every
mans reading, are from the Albany
Journal:
There are but two parties that can
make peace. The party headed by
Vallundigham and T. II. Seymour, be-
cause they will give the rebels what
they ask, independence; and the
party headed by Grant and Sherman,
because they will compel them to
grant what we ask, Union.
Democracy says that peace can on
ly be obtained by an armistico. The
South say they will not except we
concede the right of secession. But
the Democracy, nevertheless, insist
on an armistice. What do they
mean 2 .... .....
The rebels say they will not have
peace except on the basis of indie
pendencc. Democracy says peace is
attainable, and blame Lincoln foc not
obtaining it. Therefore they blame
him for not letting the South go.
Democracy says the Union cannot
be restored by war. The South says
it cannot be restored through peace.
Both are wrong Peace and Union
can only be restored through war.
The Democracy blame Lincoln for
not negotiating. The rebels will not
negotiate until the right of secession
is acknowledged. Therefore, the
Democracy blame Lincoln for not
acknowledging the right OF secession.
The Democracy say the South was
driven out Of the Union. Vice Pres
ident Stephens says they were not
They had their own way in everything
and did not seCede on account of
aggressions. We think he knows
best.
The South say they want independ-
ence. Dem ocracy says they do not !,
they want slavery. We think the
South know what they want.
Tho South say they will return to
the Union when forced to, and not be-
fore. War, therefore, becomes the
road to Peace and Union.
The rebels will not negotiate until
the right Of secession is acknowledge
ed. The Democracy say we must
negotiate any how. Their meaning is
plain.

The war portion of the party try to
get enthusiastic over him as a war
man, but up comes the ugly fact that
he is supported by Vallandigham,
Long and mon of that stripe. The
peace men CLAIM him as Peace man,
but alas the fact that he is the origin
