Atlanta.
They have loosed her virgin Zone
Atlanta !
She without a parallel,*
That held herself so long and well,
Lies in the victor‘s grasp o’erthrown,
Shom of her ramparts’ coronal.
Her coyest breastworks stripped away,
Her charms disclosed to the prying day,
Pillaged and pierced from wall to wall ;
So yielded erst her fair compeer,
Not all alike their fates yet near,
. Atlanta l
Did her suitors stake their life l
. Atlanta !
Many a brave in northland bred
Who on that rough wooing sped,
Bit the earth in the bloody strife.
Over the clouds and under ground,
Wherever the foot of man might stay
They played for her that desperate play
They died above, below, around,
But in his might the hero came,
Who took away her virgin name,
Atlanta !
Did he fling her bales of gold !
Atlanta l
Gold is scarce in days like these;
Our loves we must more cheaply please,
He fiung her balls of the iron cold,
Iron Apples of discord they,
That Fury Davis, greedy of hate
Threw in the hall where the sisters sate,
Bitter fruit for many a day,
Such were the wedding gifts to tree
Such was the wedding biliary l
Atlanta l
Shall thee see ahappicr morn ?
Atlanta!
As that risky marriage gave
Honor to the Grecian brave
And a mighty son was born,
So at no distant day may we
Peace and Union, twins the fairest,
Rising upon their beauty rarest,
From this enforced wedding see !
Then she herself shall bless the day
When open to our arms she lay,
Atlanta l

of the original Greek name. See the chasm

Mounts ISLAND, So. 0A.,
Sept. 9th, 1864.: 2'
Since my last communi-
cation a very interesting- aud impressiive
scene occurred here. Viz; the landing of
six hundred captive rebel officers. The
presence of these on‘ board a transport in
the harbor I mentioned before. On the
morning of the fill, this transport was
placed along side the dock and two regi-
ments ofeolored troops marched down as
guard. They were not at all depressed on
account of the duty they were detailed to
perform, on the contrary they were in the
best of spirits as the practical illustration on
so large a scale of the reversed relations ex-
isting between them and the recent haughty
masters. Every man appeared in his belt,
with buttons and blesses in the highest
state of polish, and as, they marched off with
regular steps at the beating of the drum
their soidierly bearing seemed to proclaim
the intent of showing to the said masters,
how much even colored men were capable
l of being taught.
Arrived at the dock, the troops were de-
ployed in two lines facing inward and the
word given to the prisoners to disembark,
and as now these enemies of their country
began one by one to come down the plank
from the vessel's side and pass. up along the
line they were as much an object of interest
and curiosity to the spectators, as would
have been a monagerie of tamed beasts pass-
ing through the streets. of a town. In their
costumes and general appearance there was
as much diversify as might be found at a
ifail; for situations; though all were confed-
ierate oficers,muy had nothing to desig-
nate their rank, or even to discover that they
were connected with military, at all. Near-
ly all carried a satchel, roll of blankets, or
some other article pertaining to creature
comfort.
Among them we observed a youth appar-
ently disposed to be literal y, be is dressed
in an ordinary suit of satinet wears his hair
behind the ears and carries a bundle of
books which he takes every opportunity
on stopping, to read. There is nothing
formidable in his appearance, he looks,
ratheras though his knowledge of the world
had been obtained chiefly through the me-
dium of the baggage he carries.
There is another, whom we surmise to be
from Louisiana, short in statute,of dark com-
plexion, and with long jetty black hair, his
glittering eye,evinces anything but meek-
neos in being subject to the supervisions of
the menial.
Again, our eyes rest upon an individual,
whom three stars upon the collar proclaim
tobeacolonel,he is very tall and gauntI
Wearsahat looped up at the side with a
silver Star and crescent and decorated with
a black feather; has a military great coal,
with much lace upon the sieves and high
topped boots; he appears not at all discom-
Mllssns Eanons.
. posed at the peculiarities of his situation;
possibly his serenity is enhanced by the
remnant ofa ham which he carries in one
hand, enough of which viand is left to afi'ord
comfort for several meals to come, notwith-
standing as is plainly apparent, that it has
isnstaiued several vigorous attacks already,
One of the prisoners carried a guitar, an-
other along purple bottlein the bottom of
which could be seen fluid to the amount of
a wine glass or two. It was doubtless the
heat of the day which had rendered this
individual extremely thirsty and the fiequent
applications to the bottle bid fair to render
its contents even more ephemeral than the
am.-
There appeared among the prisoners, in
general a determination to make the best
ofthings and to appear as unconcerned as
possible and duringthemarch up the beach
and while their baggage was being inspected
every. order was obeyed with alacrity. There
' was little encouragements for any other
course, indeed for on every side they were
confronted by glittering bayonets and load-
ed lnnskets. After the inspection of baggage
they were conducmd inside of the inclosure
prepared for them. This is about four hund-
red feet long by three hundred and forty
wide and composed of lofty pine stakes of
sufficient - size and containing more than
two hundred tents.
,, At the distance of twenty rods from the
inclosure around the inside is a rope, called
the dead line which they are not allowed to
cross under any circumstances.
The prisoners at once distributed them-
selves among the tents pairing oil and chaos;
ing for tent mates their oldest acquaintances,
and seemed quite well pleased with their
change of circumstances, after confinment
unheard the vessel.

The Regiment to Join.
A 5word to those who are cumming to
the warl Your usefulness, your success,
your safety, depend—under God—upon
your position in the army, upon your
' associates and surroundings._
Como to‘th'e Tenth Conn. This regi-
ment has a ‘ matchless record, It has
been fully three years in service, has par-
ticipated in more than forty battles and
skirmishes and has taken nearly a thous-
and prisoners, yet has never been defeated,
has never yielded a single inch under fire
and has not lost a half-dozen prisoners
in battle in all the time since its enroll-
ment. So well established is its good
name, that it has held over a foremost
place in its brigade, its division, its corps,
and its department, and today no regi-
ment in the entire army stands higher for
gallantry, for discipline, for good morals
and for general efficiency. They under-
stand how to take care of themselves and
how to take care of the enemy. When
they fight they expect to win. They are
good soldiers and show themselves such
wherever they go.
With all its hard fighting the: losses of
this regiment have been light for the duty
performed. No regiment as much expos-
ed lost fewer men in' all the months of
the Morris Island siege, and thus of the
moves from Bermuda Hundred to the
Petersburg R. R, to Drurey’s Bluff and
to Deep Bottom. Regiments in poorest
repute are ever likely to lose most heavily.
The best protection in battle is found in
standing ones ground with steadiness and
discipline, in obeying orders promptly,
and in returning fire more rapidly than
the enemy can give it. Nothing is so
disastrous as retreating in confusion.
In no regiment in service will you share
the benefits of a more glorious history,
find yourself in a purer moral atmosphere,
do greater service to your country, or
fight more safely than in the Tenth Conn.
Join them, and help its brave boys to
finish up the war.

It is perfecrly natural for all women to
be handsome. If they are not so the
fault lies in their birth, or in their train—
ing, or in bbtb. We would therefore
respectfully remind mothers that in P0—
land a period of childhood is recognized.
There, may be found beautiful women.—
Thero, girls, do not jump from infan-
oy to womanhood. They are not ’ sent
from the cradle directly to the drawing
room, to dress, sit still, and look pretty
During childhood, which extends through
a period of several years, they are plain—
ly and loosely dressed, and allowed to
run, romp, and play, in the Open air.—
They take sunshine as does the flower.
They are not loaded down, girded about,
and oppressed in every way with count—
less frills and snperebundant llonnces, so
as to be admired for their much clothing.
Plain, simple food, free and varied exer—
ciao, and good mental culture, during the
whole period of childhood, are the secrets
of beauty in after life. American moth—
ers should head these facts, and, in the
training of their girls, remember that the
beauty so much desired can only be made,
enduring through obedience to Nature’s
unerring laws, with thick they can easily
become familiar. '

fl-Love-smitten maidens, imagine, if
you can, the feelings of a young lady of
Wheeling, Va, who having been locked
up to keep her away from a soldier lover
managed in the night to let herself down
from her third-story window, elude the
vigilance of guardians, and join him for
whom she was “pining away in solitary
confinement,” but the great calf refused
to slope with her. '

From the N. 7. Tribune.
Pendleton—Johnson.
The grandson of an able and courtly
New York Federalist, the son of an Ohio
Whig Member of Congress, born rich
and expensively educated, Mr. George
H. Pendleton ought to be, and we pro-
sume is, a gentleman. He, lacks neither
ability nor suavity, and has borne bim-
selt courteously throughout his seven
years’ service through Congress. Per-
sonally, be may be unoxceptionable ; po-
litically he is wrong as wrong can be.—
He is one of that large class of educated
men of good family and in comfortable
circumstances, who in youth were facina-
ted by the magnetism of John C.Calhonn’s
simple yet impressive manners, brilliant
conversational powers, and rabid detesta-
tlon of the dominance of mere numerical
majorities. For a generation, Mr. J ef-
ferson’s profoundly democratic specula—
tions bad swayed the minds of our clever
and ambitious young men ; but his star
rapidly waned After his death, and there
followed a noiseless but vehement reaction
against his ideas, whereof Calhoun was
the great apostle. Of that reaction, the
Slaveholder’s Rebelli0n is the natural and
principal fruit; one of its minor and in—
cidental products is George H. Pe ndle—
ton.
We assume that Mr. Pendleton is
wholly sincere—that his course as a pol-
itician is entirely guided by, his profound
matured convictiOn—that he is not one
Of the thousand unprincipled, windy,
characterless demagogues, each of whom
struts his brief hour on the stage of pub-
lic action, then sinks into a fit oblivion,to
be rapidly succeeded by others as empty
and as evanescent. He is widely differ-
ent from and more dangerous than these;
for be is a man and they are fleeting
shadows. If he were fundamentally right
he would be well qualified for Vice-Pres-
ident, or even President : being radically
essentially wrong, his election would be
a grave and enduring calamity.
The theory which makes our Federal
Union a mere league of independent sov-
ereignties, dissoluble,at the pleasure—nay
whim—of any one of them, is bad
enough when propounded by the empty
demagogues who preach anything that
serves their immediate turn, and really
believe in nothing, because they have no
thought, no purpose, no philosophy, no
convictions; but these creatures who
shout ‘ No rci'on 1’ because the Presi- .
dent is a Lincoln whom they detest,
would about just as vehemently—and. as
heartily—for Coercion, if the president
were at Jackson whom they feared, and
in whose favor they wished to bask.—
But Mr. Pendleton does not seem to be—
long to that drove of cattle. He actually
believes in the fatal fallacies which have
whelmed our broad land in blood and
ashes. In his elaborate and careful spe ecb
of Jan. 18, 1861, combating the idea of
resisting Secession as Rebellion, be fully
adopts and builds upon the conception
of our Federal system which has made
Jeff Davis, Tombs, Hunter,Mason & Co,
the traitors they are, The difference be-
tween llis inculcations and theirs is only
such as is impelled by the fact that he
lives on one side of the Slave line, they
on the other. Just consider once more,
and thoughtfully, his quasi demouistra—
tion that our Government has no right-
ful power to vindicate its authority and
maintain its existence within the limits of
any State which sees fit to declare itself
out of the Union :
“ Now, sir, what force of arms can
compel a State to do that which she has
agreed to do? What force of arms can
compel a State to refrain from doing
that which her State Government, sup-
ported by the sentiment of her people, is
determined to persist in doing ? It is
provided in the Constitution that the cit-
izent of every State shall have all the
privileges and immunities of citizens of
the several States. What force of the
Federal Government can compel the ob—
servance of that clause if a State is deter-
mined to ass and execute laws whereby
citizens 0 other States shall not have,
within its limits, the some privileges as
its own citizens ?
“ Full faith and credit shall be given
to each state the public acts and judicial
roceedings of eve ry other State. How
will the Federal Government by armies
and arms, enforce the observance of that
clause in the Constitution, if the judiciary
and executive authorities of a State, sup-
ported by the laws, refuse such faith and
credit I ~'
“ No State, without the consent of
Congress, shall lay any imposts or duties
on imports.” Suppose a state ,should pass
such a law, and the citizens were willing
to execute-the law, what army could pre.
vent if f
“ 0 State shall, without the consent
of Congress, enter into any agreement or
compact with a foreign Power." I wish
to know from gentlemen what number of
men it would require to annul such an
agreement, once made. The General
Government is invested with certain pow-
ers necessary to be executed, in order to
keep the machinery of the Government
in motion. Can any number of troops,
or the use of any armed force on the part
of the States, compel the General Gov-
ernment to execute those powers, it the
agents appointed for that purpose delib-
eratel , persistently refuse to execute
them Sir, the whole scheme of coercion
is impracticable. It is contrary to the ge-
nius and spirit of the Constitution.”
—of course, Mr Pendleton believes all
this: for it is the doctrine, not of a pas-
d
i the opponents of the Administration will lick
olllla assumed to have receded from file
sage only, but of his whole speech—nay,‘
it is the doctrine which has governed his,
entire course in Congress since South Car- .
Union. He has had the courage to vote
in consistency therewith when so to vote
necessalially subjugated him to reproba—
tion and odium. But his sincerity does
not affect the truth that this is a most
pernicious, perilous, fatal doctrine—one
that makes the heroes now fighting for
their and our country’s invaders, aggres-
sors, wrong-doers, murderers. It is Cal-
hounism run mad—at least, Calhounism
followed out to its legitimate results,
which are National impotency and gener-
al anarchy. If it be sound doctrine,then
we would at once recall our soldiers from
the revolted States, rebuild the waste
places of the South at our own proper
cost, and erect monuments of our own
contrition and their heroism to the memo-
ry of Bishop Polk and Stonewall J ack—
son.
No greater contrast could be even im-
agined than that which is presented by
the rival candidates for Vice-President :
Pendleton a son Of the North ; J ohnsou
a son of the South ; Pendleton cradled in
affluence; Johnson in extreme poverty;
Peudleton enjoying the largest and fullest
opportunities for education and culture ;
Johnson spending his youth on a tailor’s
bench, toiling for the pittance which,
small as it was, helped to support his
widowed mother, and learned to read
from his wife after their early marriage :
Pendleton the life long favorite of polish-
ed, aristocratic society, enjoying every
advantage of counsel and culture, which
position and culture could command in
one of the greatest of our interior cities ;
J ohnaon fighting his way up from obscu-
rity and extreme poverty, conquering the
silent disdain of the magnates of his own
party and the nudisguised hatred of those
who led its antagonist, who were astoun-
ded by the audacity of the tailor upstart,
who not merely confronted and combated
them on the stump, but had even the
audacity to beat them at the polls. He
was chosen Alderman of his village when
barely twenty years old; Mayor when
twenty-two ; to the Legislature when
twenty-seven; Presidential Elector
when thirty-two , next year to‘ the State
Senate ; two years later, a Represntative
in Congress, where he served ten years
consecutively, and was chosen thence
Governor of his adopted State: re-elec-
ted after a spirited canvass ; and, stel'ore
his second term had expired, cho , n U.
S. Senator for the full term of six {years
when not yet fifty years of age, There
are not many such records of conti nous
and unvaried success by an untaught
friendless orphan, in this or any other
country. _'
Andrew Johnson, thoughborn and
always living in a Slave State, and a
member of the party which fomented the
Rebellion, was its instinctifi, implacable
enemy. He had many reams for:E this
hostilities, one of which doubtless was his
perfect knowledge that among its latent
impulses was a determination that un-
schooled, penniless tailor boys should
nevermore be eligible to Governorsbips
and Senatorsbips. A lifelong Southern
Democrat and a supporter of Brookenq
ridge for President,rhe recognized inthis
Rebellion his deadly enemy, and fought
it from the outset with firm resolve neith-
er to give nor ask for quarter. Consider
once more these two passages from‘fihe
first and most elaborate of his Senatorial
speeches against Secession, and weigh
them against the proceeding spec—
imen of Mr. Pcndleton’s statemansbip :
“ Now to expose the absurdity of the
pretension that there is a right to secede,
let us press this argument a little further.
The Constitution has been formed ; it
has been made perfect,or, in other words,
means have been provided by which
it can be made perfect. It was intended
to be perpetual. In, reference to the exec-
tion of laws under it, what do we find ?—
As early as 1795, Congress passed an
excise law, taxing distilleries throughout
the country, and what were called the
whiskey boys Of Pennsylvania resisted
the law. The Government wanted means.
It taxed distilleries. The people of Penn.
resisted it. What is the difference be—
tween a portion of the people resisting a
constitutional law, and all the people of a
State doing it! But because you can
apply the term coercion in one cause of a
State, and in the other call it simply the
execution of the laws against individuals
you say there is a great distinction l—
We do not assume vbe power to coerce a
State but we assume that Congress has
power to levy and collect taxes, and
Congress has the right to enforce. that
law when obstructions and impediments
are opposed to its enforcement. The
people of Pennsylvania did object : they
did resist and oppose the legal authorl—
ties of the country. Was that law en-
forced? Was it called coercion at that
time to enforce it? Suppose all the
people of the State of Pennsylvania had
resisted ; would not the law have apphed
with just the same force, and would it
not have been just as constitutional to
execute it against all the people of the
State, as it was to execute it upon a
part of their citizens? *
“ I have an abiding faith, I have an-
unshaken confidence, in man’s capability
to govern himself. I will not give up
this Government that is now called an
experiment, which some are prepared to
abandon for a constitutional monarchy.
No; I intend to stand by it; and Len-
treat every man throughout the" natlon,
who is a patriot, and who has seen, and
is compelled to admit the success of this
great experiment, to come forward, not
in best, not in fanaticism, not In haste,
not in precipitancy, but in deliberation
in full view of all that is before us, in the
spirit of brotherly love and fraternal af—
and rally around the altar of our
faction, . .
icommon country,and lay the Constitution
upon it as our last libation, and swear by
our God, and all that is sacred and holy,
that the Constitution shall be saved, and
the Union preserved. Yes, in the lan-
gangs of the departed Jackson, let us
exclaim that the Union, ‘ the Moral
Union, it must be preserved.’ ” '

la- The following is the reply of Gen.
Sherman to Gen. Hood’s charge of “stud-
ied and ungenerous cruelty,” and which
wes received in Washington Wednesday
last :
noons MILITARY Dmsron' or m: Mustssxrrx,
In our: raw,
Gen. J. B. HOOD, Commanding Army of
Tennessee, Confederate Army.
GENERAL: I have the honor to ac-
knowledge tlle receipt of your letter of
this date at the hands of. Messrs. Ball
and Crew,consenting to the arrangements
I had proposed, to facilitate the removal
South of the people of Atlanta, who pre-
fer to go in that direction. I enclose
you a copy of my orders which'will, I am
satisfied, accomplish my purpose perfectly.
You style the measures proposed “on-
precedented,” and appeal to the dark
history of war for a parallel as an act of
“studied ungenerous cruelty." It is not
unprecedended, for Gen. Johnson himself
very wisely and preperly removed the
families all the way from Dalton down,
and I see no reason why Atlanta should
be excepted. Nor is it necessary to ap-
peal to the dark history of war when re-
cent and modern examples are so handy.
You, yourself, burned dwelling houses
along your parapet, and I have seen to-
day fifty houses that you have rendered
uninhabitable, because they stood in the
way of your forts and men. You defen-
ded Atlanta on a line so close to the
town, that every cannon shot, and many
musket shots from our line of investments
that overshot their mark, went into the
habitatious of women and children.—
Gen. Hardee did the same at Jonesboro,
and Gen. J obnson did the same last sum-
mer at Jackson, Miss. I have not ac-
cused you of heartless cruelty, but merely
instance those cases of very recent occur-
rences, and could go on and enumerate
hundreds of others, and challenge any
fair man to judge which of us has the
heart of pity for the families of a “brave
peOple.” I say, it is a kindness to these
families of Atlanta to remove them now
at once from scenes that women and chil-
dren should not be exposed to ; and the
brave people should scorn to commit their
wives and children to the rude barbarians
who thus, as you say, violate the laws of
war as illustrated in the pages of its
dark history. In the name of common
sense, I ask you not to appeal to a just
'God in such a sacrilegious manner—you
who, in the midst of peace and prosperity .
have plunged a nation into civil war, 7
“ dark and cruel war,” who have dared
and badgered us to battle, insulted; our
flag, seized our arsenals and forts that
were left in the honorable custody of a
peaceful ordinance sergeant, seized and
made prisoners of war the very garrisons
sent to protect your people against ne- ,
gross and Indians, long before any overt
act was committed by the “ to you.” hate-
ful Lincoln Government, tried to force
Kentucky and Missouri into the rebellion
spite of themselves, falsified the vote of
Louisiana, turned loose your privateers
to plunder unarmed ships, expel Union
families by the thousand, burned their
houses, and declared by not of congress
the confiscation of all debts due Northern
men for goods had and received. Talk
thus to marines but not to me, who have
seen these things, and will this day make
as much sacrifice for the peace and honor
of the South. as the best born Southern-
or among you. If we must be enemies,
let us be men, and fight it out as we pro-
pose to—day, and not deal in such hypo—
critical appeals to God and humanity.—
God will judge us in due time, and he
will announce whether it be more humane
to fight with a town full of women and
the families of a “brave people” at our .
backs, or to remove them in time to pla-
ces of safety among their own friends and
people.
I am, very respectfully your obedient
servant. W. T. SHERMAN,
_ Maj. Gen. Com’g.

“ It is well known that General Mc-
Clellan has not one spark of pretensions
to the Presidency, except what he has
made out of this war Under Mr. Lincoln.
He never held a civil ofilee in his life.
Dennison brought him forward a. mili-
tary man. Yet in three years, a _a mere-
soldier, he rises to the demands of the
Presidency to head a party which is for
peace—a position requiring a statesman
of enlarged views and a statesman’s expe-
rience. ' And for what? That a few men
who have got his ear may get foreign
missions and home positions at the ex-
pense of the peace of the country and the
lives of their constituents, This is pay-
ing too dear for such whistles, and for
