Another Rebel stump Speech for Me-
CInIlan.

The Richmond Dispatch publishes
passages from recent speech made
at Macon, by Hon. B. II. Hill, of
Georgia, commencing them Gas full
of good sense" Among these are the
following:
| know that we all want peace, and,
If God knows my heart, there Is no
one who more fervently prays Tor it
than do. But how can we make it2
Not with Sherman who says he means
determination. | recently read let
ter from him more intensified with
malignity than ever escaped the
lirs of man. He said he meant to de-
stroy the present people, and populate
our country with q better people
the Yankee! You can make with him
or Lincoln, only one peace, and that
is submission.
If Lincoln is defeated, and McClel-
Ian elected, in the coming election, we
may have peace; but there is no peace
party in the North If we are willing
to be suhjugated All will subjugate
MS if they can. Peace can only come
by the defeat of the enemy. McClel-
Ian will never be elected, unless Sher-
man is defeated. The preservation
of our honor, the preservation of our
.State, the election of Mcclellan, and
the securing of an honorable peace
all depend upon the defeat Of Sher-
man. Every good to freemen de
pends upon his defeat.

Close up the ranks.

1t is said that nearly all the Ohio
soldiers with Sherman voted at the
late election. They were marching'
and subject to attack at any moment
from the enemy-still they voted.
The polls were carried in ambulances
and squads of men were sent back
to vote. Thus do the soldiers fight
the rebels in front with bullets, and
their trusted friends in the rear will
ballots. Honor to such men.

How a Mcclellan Captain was Con-
yerted.

At social gathering night before
last, during the evening, Captain
Sutherland, Assistant Adjutant Gen.
formerly Of General Steadmans staff,
captured during Stoneman's raid,
and recently exchanged, was present
and was toasted, and made happy
response. We regret that every sol
dier in the army, and every patriot in
the land, could not have listened to
his remarks. Captain Sutherland,
before his arrest was well known as q
warm and earnest Mcclellan man.
In the remarks alluded to, he men
toned this fact, and said he had
changed his base in this particular -
He was now for Lincoln; because, du-
ring his Imprisonment, his guards al
Charleston, and every rebel he met
with one exception, learning that he
was q Democrat, electioneered with
him for Mcclellan. That exception
stole an opportunity to whisper in hi:
ear that the South was only holding
out in hopes of Lincoln's defeat, an(
assured him that if Lincoln was elect
ed the war would instantly end anC
unconditionally cease, as the Soutl
, wonld then see that resistance was n,
longer practicable. Captain Suther
, land declares that he never could no
, never would vote for any man at tn
request of armed traitors,
D Let the peace man put this in thei
pipes and smoke it.

Pendleton's Letter.
CGNcINNArI. Oct. II


Ny DEAR SIR: have received
your friendly letter Malignant rep
reservations and falsehoods are so
frequent in our struggles that / have
rarely undertaken to correct or refute
them.
l make no professions of q new
faith, and only repeat my reiterated
professions of an old one when ! say
there is no one who cherishes q great
er regard for the Union; who has {
higher sense of its inestimable bene
fits; who would more earnestly labor
for its restoration, by all means whicl
will effect that end, than myself.
The Union is the guarantee o
peace, power and the prosperity Of the
people; and no man would deprecatC
more heartily or oppose more per
sistently the establishment of another
Government over any portion of ter
ritory ever within its limits.
! am in favor of eXacting'no con.
ditions, insisting upon no terms not
prescribed in the Constitution; and
am opposed to any course Of policy
which will defeat the re establishment
of the government upon its old foun
dations and III its territorial integri
ty.
/ am, very truly, yours,
GEORGE II. PENDLEToN.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The Mcclellan papers are all crying
for peace, and denounCing an Admin
istration that is earnestly laboring to
suppress the rebellion; and seldom
contain an appeal in behalf of the
comfort and wcll-being of the sol
diers-not word in favor of their
having the privilege Of voting while
in the tented field.
But, in every paper iavoring the
election of Lincoln, can he found frc,
quent and repeated calls upon the
people to provide for the necessities
and comfort of the soldier, All are
concerned for their bodily comfort
and many of them exhibit an interest
in their spiritual welfare, and all ad
voeate the policy of allowing them t
vote wherever they may be on duty
The contrast in exhibitions of sym
pathy, and the difference in policy
prove two things conclusiyely: First
that the friends Of Mr., Lincoln feel |
genuine sympathy for the soldiers
and the cause tor which he is fight
ing, which the McClellanites do not
Second, that Mr., Lincoln's friend d'
not fear the soldier vote; while tn
McClellanites do. That's the differ
cnce. "That,s what's the matter"

NEARLY HERE.

Are our readers aware how near
nt hand the day of the Presidential
election is ?-but one week and
three days remain. The question
arises--are we ready for it? 1t is a
serious question, and one that should
be answered in the Affirmative, though
we fear that every Union man cannot
do so. All know how much depends
upon the success of the Union par
ty at the coming election; how close
bound together are the interests OF
the country and our success that
the restoration OF the Union depends
upon it that, in measure, the sue
cess of our army depends upon it,
and that the success of the rebellion
depends upon our overthrow. o.
course every Union man wishes fol
successes but this will not give it
Are you and have you been working
for it ? been straining every nerve
throwing all your influence in th'
scale to accomplish that great end
If so, well and good; if not, go t.
work from this time--this very mo
ment-and relax not an instant from
now to the election day.
Eternal vigilance is the price o
Liberty !"

OUR FLAG ADVANCES.

The news which we have been re-
ceiving for some days past is truly
cheering, and will gladden. the heart
of every true patriot and well-wisher
Of the country. Our arms have ev-
crywhere been victorious, and the
traitors rebellion is being dually
aud survly crushed 10y the mighty
power of our inyincible armies.
Our soldiers and officers, who have
been thoroughly tried and educated
to the highest degree of proficiency
by past experience and who are war
worn veterans indeed, have steadily
pursued the enemy and in every con
tlict in the late engagements victory
has perched upon our banners.
Phil. Sheridan, who is now one oI
our best fighting generals, has again
led the army of the Shenan oaf
through another severe engagement
and rs usual, to glorious success
Where he is with his army victory i:
sure. His presence inspires his sol
diers and whatever he commands i:
done, and nobly done. Recently
having been called to Washington
for consultation, he was necessarily
absent from his army for some days
The enemy seized the opportunity
and made n sudden and unlocked 70
attack. Our army was driven back
and obliged to form new line, where
lust at the moment he was most need
ed, General Sheridan rode up from
Winchester and Immediately assumed
command, stopped the retreat, order
ed his army forward, pushed his col
umns on, himself at their head, anC
then came victory oyor the rebe
hosts, far surprising anything befor'
witnessed. The rebel lines wer
broken, and they fled in dismay be

result, as far rs head from, we cap

The results of Sheridan's late tri.
umph which are given in our dispatch
es this morning, give In figures a
more perfect realization OF its com
pletcness than rhetorical descriptions
could do. From $500 TO 1000 pris

captured from us in the morning,
and 10000 small arms have been to.
ken. The rebels have fled beyond
lIarrisonburg; and are reported by
the descrters who come into our lines
to bc in very demoralizod condition.
The rebel papers, while attempting to
gloss over certain ugly points of the
defeat, admit that Early's rout was
disastrous iii the extreme. No move
mcnts of Importance have taken place
in the Valley for the last few days,
but Gen. Sheridan is getting ready
for a vigorous resumption of active
operations.
Gov. Hall, of Missouri, who has
just left Independence, confirms the
report Of the great victory over Price
on Sunday. The Union loss will not
exceed $50, while the rebels suffered
much more severely. We have taken
between four and five hundred pris-
oners. Price ir retreating through
Kansas, and is losing many men in
his flight, as our cavalry is following
him up very closely.
Hood has woefully failed in finding
or capturing supplies. He is trying
his best to avoid fight. He at
tempted to sneak back through Snake
Creek Gap, but finding that outlet
blockaded, he abandoned the attempt.
This morning he is reported mile
and half below Fayctte. Sherman
Is perhaps six miles from him.
Official returns have now been re-
ceived from all the counties in Pen
nsylvania except one - Forrest
which is reported to have given 13
Democratic majority. Exclusive OF
this the Democrats have 1873 majority
in the State on the home vote; the
figures standing--Democratic vote,
40,023; Union vote, 39,S67. OF
course, the Union majority from the
soldiers vote will far more than over
come this small Copperhead surplus.
All was quietin front Of Richmond
at last adviccs, the only exception
having been Il fight on Saturday be
tween our shore batteries and the
rebel gunboats on James river. The
latter got the worst of it, and moved
under the protecting guns of Fort
Darling. Two of them are reported
to have been crippled.
The course of the gold market seems
more erratic than ever. The price
was worked up yesterday, without
apparent cause, to 2lS, and without
apparent cause, it tumbled to 2l2s.
The soldiers vote in Maryland
gives the new Free State Constitution
over 1000 majority.
Sherman is not pushing Hood, but
rather managing IL possible to coop
him up in the valley and starve him
