A SOUTHERN ELECTIoS.-Whoever may
object to the proposition of President Lincoln
to reconstitute any State netenth of whose
voters shall hold au election, it is certain the
rebels have debarred themselves and their
friends from that privilege. Last month, an
election was held in different of the Southern
armies for rebel Congressman to represent
Kentucky at Richmond. Less than one thous-
and men chose twelve Congressman; to save
the affair from ridicule these thousand voted
for the whole delegation. If the President
were to take this way to reconstitute State
Governments, he might fud as many loyal men
from almost every Southern State living in the
North as refugees, to hold an election similar
to this-N. Y Erening Post.

The following is an extract from letter
written by West Side soldier:


ATLANTA, Sept 21st, 1864.


FRIEND C. You see by my heading
that we are where 1 have had excellent
opportunities for learning that "Sherman
has taken Atlanta" Our corps was the
first to enter the city, and we now occupy it.
Oar Brigade Headquarters, where
am staying, are established. in a
splendid mansion in the suburbs. So you
see that, although we are soldiers, we are,
for the present, living in a civilized man
ner II will probably not last long, how
ever, for General Sherman is not the man
to let his command lie idle, when there is
so much still TO be done. I think that
- is the point he is most likely to strike
for when the next campaign opens, and
we soldiers all think that, should Grant be
successful at Richmond, one more vigor-
GUS campaign, like the one just completed,
will wind up this business altogether. But
in the meantime, all loyal men in the
North must exert themselves to the utmost



Mcclellan will get some votes from the
army-iust enough to disgrace it. But his
advocates here are not of class to do him
much honor, for nearly all are men who
" light out from every battlefield, and
are usually under charge of the provost
guard. Little Macs letter of acceptance

thought he could draw the wool over peO-
Piles eyes by that effusion, but it won't 60

deeply in having such machine, and are

The copperhead papers are making a
great ado over the report that Col BOw-
man was removed from West Point be-
cause he allowed Gen. Mcclellan to de-
liver the monument grafton there. They
had better reserve their indignation till
they are certain of the fact. 1t is not
confirmed and it is essentially incredible


The N. Y. Tribune supposes it true, and
attempts to justify the act on the ground
that Gen. Mcclellan did not mention Gen.


George Strong in his grafton, the supposi-
tion being that Gen. Strong's name was
thus omitted because he was IN favor of
negro troops. This is altogether absurd.
Gen. Mcclellan is neither young Na~
poleon" nor suitable man for president
Of the United States, but their was no
reason why he should not speak the ora
ton at West Point; indeed a more suitable
selection of orator for the occasion could
hardly have been made, and the oration
was very patriotic and creditable per
formance. Ifthe removal of Col. Bowman
has any connection with it, then sOmbody
has done an unjust and contemplate
thing, which can damage only himself.
