CASTING SHADOW BEFoRE.-The special
correspondent Of the New York World (the
italics are ours) thus eleyates the original op-
ponent of all attempts to treat rebellion as re.
belllon
Prominent among the distinguished visitors
on this occasion, is the Hon. Clement L. Val.
landigham, of Ohio, who stands out, not only
as victim OF partisan oppression, but also as a
rising and representative man. Mr.. V. has out
lived that stage In the career OF all great men
the obloquy, the odium, the reyillng of politi-
cal enemies-and has come 10 see his peculiar
tenetS become the popular creed. As he was the
first, the boldest, and ol,noa The only advocate Of
Union Of Peace, to him belongs the distin.
guished merit Of having done more than any
other man To enlighten the nation as to the
folly OF the reignihg party, and to point out
the manifold dangers to civil liberty. How
ever much we may differ with him In his
scheme for reconstruction of the Union, we
must certainly accord TO this man the need OF
praise for the ability, the fearlessness, and sue
cess which have attended his efforts. His ut
terances at the Cooper Institute, In New York
seem 10 hdDe a kind Of prophetic foresight GGOta
about them quite remarkable. Probably no mar
was more unpopular than Vallandlgham a
that time. There is no man IN this pda Assem-
bldge Of nOtdJIes rho attracts more attention dnt
more respect than he does noW; no one vhoSe sin
gle influence IN The councils Of he Democracy gi!

"Im q Mcclellan Man ~

In ono Of our public houses last evening
when the announcement was made that Atlanta
had been captured, the statement was dis
credited by an earnest individual, who pulled
out his greenbaeks and offered to bet ten dol
lars 1t was not true. He was assured that the
information was official. "Don't care" he
exclaimed, "I'm a Mcclellan man, and I'll bet
ten dollars Atlanta isn't captured. Yes, ri
bet ten to FIVE it isn't captured" His COM
panion also declared himself Mcclellan man,
and he offered to bet fve or ten dollars Atlanta
wouldn't be captured in month. Their bets
were taken, but those present could hardly
comprehend how "McClellan man" should
be SO incredulous respecting the capture oi
Atlanta, except on the presumption that hi
sympathiIed strongly with the rebels.

THE FALL OF ATLANTA.

Atlanta, the great rebel depot Of supplies, has
.,llen, thanks 70 Sherman and his noble army.
This Is blow at the very vtals OF the rebel
lion. We commend the official announcement
Of the great achievement In another column to
the careful attention Of our readers. Accom-
panyipg the announcement OF the occupation
OF the city is an important statement that
Hoods army Is cut IN too! If this is true there
IL no doubt that General Sherman will take
advantage of the fact, and defeat the two wings
In detail or capture one of them.
The next news is Rnxiously looked for. Nc
details of the fall Of Atlanta have yet arrived
Gen. shOrmanis undoubtedly too busy with the
pcrsuit TO stop to write dispatches. He will
now have an army to wipe out the scoundrels
Forrest, Morgan and Wheeler, who are deyas
tating Tennessee and threatening Kentucky
The Secretary OF War tells us that the draf
will be light, and that Gen. Grant only desire
one hundred thousand men TO enable him Il
capture Richmond and crush the rebellion
This Is truly glorious. The skies brighten
Now let all loyal people go to work and Civ
Gen. Grant the men he wants, and let us clos
up this war, and thus preserve the Union.

what the Army and Navy Have Gained
at Mobile,


An Intelligent newspaper correspondent says:
A summing up of results will prove this to
have been one of the most brilliant and sue
cessful campaigns Of the war, from Its incep-
tion to It's close. Exactly twenty days have
elapsed since the landing Of the army on Dau-
phin Island, and two days later-the 5th-the
fieet passed the forts. Since that time we have
compelled the evacuation Of Fort Powell; we
have forced the enemy to surrender Fort
Gaines, with the works and guns in perfect
condition, and after q bombardment Of twenty
four hours we have almost destroyed and COM
PEELED the surrender of Fort Morgan, heretofore
considered by many able officers as the strongest
fortress In the United States. We have taken
fifteen hundred prisoners, one hundred pieces
of cannon, and vast quantity Of small arms
and munitions of war. We have also taken
provisions enough to feed the garrisons, which
we shall place In the forts, for six months
We have captured, and now have In perfect
fighting trim, tho ram Tennessee, the strongest
war vessel ahoat. In fact she Is invulnerablt
TO the broadsides of all the navies In the world
We have taken several other vessels which car
all be put to useful purposes, and we hav,
| penned up In Mobile harbor at least three first
class English blockade runners. All this hal
cost the army one man killed and six wounded
1t has cost the navy the loss Of the Tecumsef
and part OF her crew, and very few casualtiei
on other ships. Surely we ought to be satisfied
with the twenty days campaign In Mobile Bay
II is q remarkable fact that during the bonn
bardment on Monday Fort Morgan never firet
q gun. Our batteries fred so rapidly and will
such extraordinary accuracy that the rebels die
not dare TO show themselves outside the case
mates. Fifteen guns were broken, dismounted
or In some manner rendered useless to the en-
emy, had he been able TO man them.

MONSTER FRUIT CAN.-The Cleveland
Herald has the following account of q novel
structure now going up in that city;
The building Is eighty feet by forty-four and
a half, the side walls being twenty-five feet
high. The front Of the building, occupying
about one.fourth Of the whole size, Is to be used
as q store, or ordinary warehouse, and will be
constructed In the ordinary manner. The re-
mainder of the building Is to be walled entirely
with iron, perfectly tight, and divided from the
front part by similar walls. Within this en-
closure is built another building, also of iron,
with Its walls about three feet distant from the
walls Of the outer building. The inner build
ing is divided by iron walls into several smaller
rooms, each Of them being perfectly gas proof.
The ground beneath the building was first
packed with wet earth, the beams laid in coal
tar, and the surface Of the earth will be covered
with coal tar. The space between the ground
and the flooring will then be packed tight with
sawdust, as will be the space between the outer
and inner walls, and the hollow space In the
iron-lined doors. Overhead will be packed
tightly with ice, which will be CONCEALED by O
peculiar process into q solid mass of hard Ice,
seven feet thick.
When all is completed, the small rooms will
be filled with fresh fruits, such as apples,
grapes, &C., the oxygen of the atmosphere
withdrawn by chemical process, and the room
Theoretically sealed. The vivifying elements
being withdrawn, and the temperature being
kept down by the peculiar process to about q
degrees, the fruit remains perfectly fresh until
the season for fresh fruit having passed away
high market is open for them, when tn,
chambers are opened as wanted, and the frui
taken out as fresh as when first gathered.

gence to the audience, which filled the theatre

The Cours. Of the Current.

The following is the result Of an election
held, on the LIST instant, in two wards OF th'
Armory Square hospital, in this city.

thrty.seven votes out Of forty-seyen were il

NOTES AND QUERIEs.-some grammatical
critic, more nice than wise, finds fault with

nineteen cases out of twenty we learn that the
rebellion will be crushed out. Why out any
more than ini If you put your foot on a cock
roach, you crush him simply, neither out mol
In. Crushing out is nonsense" Truly this Ii
putting rather too fine point on 1t. Why mo-
crush out as well as "blot out" or as "treat
out,"a phrase used both by Shakespeare ant
the translators of the Blblel One OF the ad
verbal definitions of out, as given by johnson
is, sin state of extinction, exhaustion" &c
To crush out is obviously stronger phras
than to crush and popular usage is here right
as It frequently Is, where grammatical quib
