Ir tbe p'atform of the Chicago Convention was not sufficiently explicit for the satisfac -•wu the-BSack Ilcpnbiicha loader*, they can o rtnioly find no room tor doubt in Gen. M.Clellan’s letter of acceptance. Ilis posi tion is defined with tbe frankness of a sold ier. It.is, in a word, that "tbe Union is tbe one condition cf peace.” General McClellan proposes to conduct the war in a civilized manner. He will not make it an abolition war. These aro the only points in which he diffe>s from Mr. Lincoln. VVhetber even in these there would be much ptactical difference, is .not certain. But ad mitting that, if elected, tbe war would be con ducted as all modern nations conduct war, and that slavery would tie unmolested, still wo should have the war. Now, in regard to slavery, it seems impossible to make our po sition clear to the Northern understanding. For the ten thousandth time we repeat, we are not fighting for slavery. The right to say whether we shall retain that species of property, sold to u* for a fair consideration by the New Englanders and Old Erglanders, is, it is true, a right we cannot concede. The property itself is Lot more sacred in our eyes than any other kiud of property. There was a time before the days of anolition, when, in the border States, we were seriously discuss ing the question of its profitableness. For aught we know, it mi”ht have ceased to exist by our own act before this time but for abo lition interference. We are not fighting for this property now, but we have tbe right to ■ay wbat we shall do with our property, and among other rights, that it openly assailed by Mr. Lincoln He dcoies us all' rights, this included; be denies ns, in short, the right of •rlt government, which it all, and includes all, we are fnrhting for. We are fighting, not to hold slaves, but to bo free ourselves.— Jiiekmond Dispatch. Tu« Petersbug Exprti * of the 15th »»ji: At the tame lima the city was subjected to one of the most Vigorous bombardments we bare yet witnessed. Shells of different sixes, embracing the three-inch riled, tbirtv-two pounders, mortars and sbrapnel, were thrown into town, for the space of tw? hours or mure, at the rate of from ten to twenty per minute. Strange to say, though gorge hi uses were struck, comparatively lirtle damage was done. The explosion of one shell scarcely died away before it was followed by the whistling of another. • Mortal hate could certainly beget no more fiendish method of gratifying rerenge than this bombardmeut of an inoffensive city. Twelve deserters came into our lines day before yesterday, and on being brought be fore tbe Prorost Marshal, presented him with a copy of General Order No. 65, and asked for as fe passage to liermVida. Deserters who claim the beneßt of this order are treated in the kindest manner, and put upon an expedi tious and safe route home. We are gral'fied to etate that numbers enter our lines daily. Deserters who cams in on Tuesday report that tbe 15-ineb moitsf with which tbe Ysn kees bgre been shelling tbe city recently, bursted sereral evenings since, killing twemy tngo. We hope this may be so, but feel in clined to doubt the statement. Tux CxTTt.r. llacl D-aurtera state that the lurgi* haul of cattle made by Hampton’s bora last Friday bas sorely oettl-d the Yankee on cers In charge. Visions of savory steaks find Vtnpting toasts bare i udd-nly vanished, and all bauds, from tbe lordly M-ijor General down to tbe humblest private, bare settled down to the solid and tough reality ot junk pork.— |)ut the most unpleasant feature of the wry unpleasant affair is, tbat good beef la scarce n Yankee land, and Ibe probabilities of supply ing tbe now empty cattle pens of Grant’s Com missary General are slim indeed. All the neighborhood beef nsa long since bean stolen anJ devoured, and there U not a sheep or sboat . within -eo niloe of the Yankee lines.— Lvnc\* l urg Virginiit. The Daily Register. icnTinmTi of tiis. fkack db. MUCRACT. The Chicago Tribune publishes the follow* ing collection of excerpt* from the speeches made at the late Convention : Phtruandy Wud (the Aminidab Sleek—the gracious peace agent of the Convention,) be* nignantly thread bit palms from tb. balcony of tb. Sherman House, like the’Pope blessing the people, and blandly perforated as follows: We call for peace, God of our fathers. Grant us peace. [Amen] peace in our hearts, and at thine altars; peace on the red waters, ana on our blighted shotrs; peace for the be leagured citiee and the bests that wait around them; peace for the widows and fatherless, for the sinning and sinned against. Grant us peace, OG'd, for mII, and for a distracted, torn and bleeding land. Speed tbe great time for peace. Ben Allen, of New York, was kind enough to inform us: "Slavery is not tbe cause of the war; but tbe Abolitionists are. To.re move the cause you must remove tbe*Abpli tiomsts. There is uot a secessionist per se in the whole South." Mr. Whiting, a copperhead spiritualist, "wanted to know if his hearers were gojng to submit to conscription to figfi.t their Southern brctbreA." He denounced the war as “a war of invasion.” * Henry Clay Dean didn’t Ilk. Little Mac. When asked if be would support him if Dominated, he said: ‘-Before God, fellow* citizens, we have one idiot in tbe Presidential chair; don’t let us put another in it." Ike Rynders said before tbe invincible club: "After three years petty despotism, I stand a free mad before a free people. I know tbe South are as gallant, chivalrous and noble a people as God ever created. lam sorry the South have taken tbo steps they have, but God knows they had just cause to act as they did act. He did not consider ft a shame to make peace with a power who had kept them at bay for three years.” "By O—d we must have McClellan nomi nated. We must put a stop to this d—d war." —Dean Richmond. W. W. O’Brien, of Peoria, spoke: "We must struggle for peace, liberty, and our rights. Agaiu3t us is fraud, violence and murder. The people tire of tbe tyrant's rule. We will have a free election or a free figbl; and we warn those Th power that their blood will pay fi>r any infraction of our rights ” Sunset Cox indulged in au inflammatory, but gunrded harangue, ia which he claimed : "We are for peace. We deprecate violence; there are things even worse than war, and that is a tame and cowardly submission to wrong. Let us endure no longer but.meet the first outrage of our constitutional rights as our fathers met tbe uggressors of theirs." "The war is an unholy fight. Soon the net is to be drawn that will gather in its half million more to feed the insatiable thirst for blwod'of the negro god. Let us demand a ces sation of the sacrifice until the people shall pronounce their great and emphatic verdict for peace, and let the tyrant understand that tbe d*mand cofurs from earnest men ana must bo respected.* —McMasters Mr. Johnson,"thinning to be a gospel mou get from Missouri, hinted strongly at a West ern Confederacy. He said: "If it shall be necessary in the settlement of our difficulties to allow a few stars to form a constellation by themselves, I think we can be just as safe, just as well protected, and just as and bappy under a Union of Repub lics as we have been under a Union of States. I want to see this whole continent bound to* gether by a grand union of Republics. And we will have it, and will have peace and har mony and self-government with it." "Let us burl that usurper from power,— Never till that day comes when the usurper and his victim meet at the judgment seat cau be be punished for hi. wrongs, for his con spiracy against American liberty."—Baker, of Michigan. • "We will have a lree press and free speech. Are you willing any looger to entire your hardships 7 [No.] Tbeo come up and burl Mr. Lincoln tri m power. Tni* black aboli tion party has almost broken up this govern ment Will you endure it any longer ? rf — Mr. Fuller. "Wbat is this war for? The nigger. It is for the nigger against the white man. I think we don’t want our bosoms stuffed so much with damned niggers this warm weather. I don’t believe tbe negro is equal to the white mau. Is it not high time that this infernal war was stopped? If life South could be subjugated by this infernal war, th. bayonets would be turned against the North. Come weal or woe we will be for sovereignty of tbe States and individual rights."—Mr. Sander soo, of Pa. "I advise peace and harmony, but if in tbe straggle it reaches tbe point that the ballot box is even touched with aacriligious hands, I say then and there, come what will, let the lives'and honor of all be pledged to the big gest figtt the world ever -aw.”—Bishop, of Michigan. % ."No more arbitrary aivests will be permit ted with impuuity. No more Vallandigbatns will be dragged from the bosom of their fami lies, and spirited away, to a foreign land or a dungeon, unless tbe attempt costs blood."— Warren, of Rhode Island. "We talk of rebellion and revolution in the 'South. There is a worso rebellion in the Niyth. Tb. Southern people all have an affection for tbo old Constitutional Union, but h»ie in the North there is a large' party who call the Constitution a covenant with heft. That's what’s the matter. The Democratic party must recognize in their nomination tbe doctrine of non coercion, or it will not, and ought opt to be successful. This campaign will b. successful only if conducted upon the principles of ttie old Democratic party, aud they were peaceful principles. These doc trines must be represented either in tbe can didate or the platform. Get the candidate if you can, but the platform at all evtnU."— Chauncey Burr. The Hon H. C. CUybourn claimed Virginia as bis native State, "the birthplace of the brave and noble Btonewall Jackson.” He thought .Mac tbe man for the hour and the time. Capt. Kuntx, of PitUbarg: "D—d Mr. Lincoln Is a thief and leader of thieves.” He saia Lincoln was bow played out, the opposi tion to him was going to be boM and power ful; there must be no nnderhaod work, and if Democrat*, entch any of Lincoln’s b—y satrap roles among them, they must cut their d—d thrusts, tbal’a all. I should like to aee the noble George B. McClellan as President [cheers] and tbat great Democrat, Horatio heymour, Should occupy tbe position of Sec retary of Btate. In the Cabinet I would see tbe name of Voorbees aod tbe brilliant galaxy of gentlemen statesmen who cluster round tbe Democratic banner.” •TU tell yon about Jeff. Davis. Abs Lincoln AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY .EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29, 18C4. bas a little difficulty wltb him, and I make it a role never to interfere with blackguards. There was never a crime perpetrated in tbe bistory of the world tbathas not bad it* exact counterpart in tbe conduct .of Mr. Lincoln. Abe Lincoln ia a liar and perjurer, and has petit larceny written all over bis body, from tbe crown of bis head to tbe solea of bis feet." —Henry Clay Dean. • John Allen, of New York, was decidedly for peace. War would never produce peace. We could never subjugate tbe South. The olive*branch of "Democracy,” intbesbapeof a peace platform, it all that can restore tbe Union. He would support McClellan on auch a platform. The following are specimen chips of the speechifying "hove in" at tbe ratification meeting held last Wedn.snay: Mr. Sanderson said: "If Abe Lincoln was re-elected be would free the negroes of tbe Sontb and tb«-n enslave tbe people. We must maintain State Rights," Ac., Ac Judge Miller, of Ohio, said : "A bloody war bas been waged to elevate the negro to an equality with tbe white man. There is no difference between a War Democrat and nn Abolitionist. They are 'both links in the same sausage, made from the saint dog." Mr. Rollius, of Missouri, said : "I lore our Southern friends. They are a noble, a brave and chivalrous people, although they are try ing to break up the government." Mr. Haona, of Ihdiana, was heavy on Ben Butler, and poured over his devoted bend such venemous slime as this: "By whom was Lincoln supported? Pro minent among his supporters is Butler, half devil, ooe-quarter beast, and less than one fourth humfla, begotten by the prince of belf* bewed. from the rotten womb of crime and thrown into the la’p of civilization a deformed, unfioished wretch. He'was sent before bis time into this breathing world, less than balf made up, and is eo hateful-looking that tbe dogs bark at bjm as be passes by." NAPOLEON AND 111 A OEBERALI. In tbe "Life of Sir William Napier” we find the following notes of a remarkable conver sation which the gallant officer bad with Mar shal Soult relative to Napoleon and bis Gen erals : — London paper. . . "Grouchy,” he said, "was not a traitor, be was uoequal to his situation—that is to say, be could not command more than a few thou sand roen.'"T calculated (said Soult) tbe value of French Generals by tbe number of men they were-capable of commanding.. 1 name nobody, but tljere were amongst them men wbo were worth ten thousand men, who were worth fifteen thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand, forty-five thousand, or even in case of necessity, sixty thousand. Tbe art of commanding armies becomes more difficult as tbe numbers increase. It is very different to edmmand eighty thousand,, and to 'com mand a hundred thousand. Pass a hundred thousand and the human tuiud is scarcely equal to the task. N'njioleutj committed a great e,roi in giving so many men to Grouchy. Ist. That General was not equal to tbe command. 2d. Ten thousand men would have been sufficient to impose on tbe Prussians. But tbe Emperor seemed at times ,to be changed; there,were moments wh»n bis geaiu?«nd activity seem ed as powerful aud »< fresh as ever; at other moments he seemed apathetic For example, he fought the battle of Waterloo without having himself examined tbe enetnjig position. He trusted to General Haxo’s re port. Iq former days be Would have exam ined and re examined it in person. Ney was the evil genius of tbe campaign; he nrgiected bis orders at Quatre Bras, and again at Wa terloo; be attacked Wellington’s position be yond la Uaye Sainte contrary to orders, and too’sooti; but be is dead, be was unfortuoate. I do not like to speak of bis errors." Uocbe. Soult kpew him well. "I was with, him," be said, "when he died; be was poison ed by tbe Directory; I tbougbtso at tbe time; I think so still.” Napoleon. "Marshal! Was not Napoleon the greatest genius of all the men France pro duced ?’’ "Ah I bah 1 yes I there was no comparison." "Was be not a good and kind man also?" Here Soult raised bis herd with great eagerness, and exclaimed in an empha tic manner, "ZTopoleon, n'a jammait perdu per tonne de tonpropre m.,uvemant—jamais, jamatt, jamais! It was necessary, when once yon were known bim,‘to commit faul;«, nay .even crimes, over and over again, twenty, thirty times, before he could bring himself even to punish." Jos- ph. "At the_battlo of Ocana Joseph was at my side, and so meek, so quiet, I could .have put him io my pocket. After the battle was gained, and that we bad supped, instead of conversing upon the action and the war, be entered upon a vehement allocution agninst tbe Emperor, and told me that be bad written to him a letter which he would snow me.. It was menacing urgent, insolent; and his discours* went to sounding me upon exci* ting tbe army to resist Napoleon. I rose from my chair and addressed him thus : "Sire, you speak and act ia such a manner that you give me tbe right to treat you without reserve or ceremony ; and, first, it is fortunate for you that I choose to speak to you as a pri vate person and not as a Marshal of France. Wbat I you imagine that tbe ielat of such a victory as Ocana renders you so dear to the Fiench soldiers, that they will support your absurd and rash notions? Suppose it were true : have you gained tbe affections also of tbo rest of tbe French army in Spain? Are you sure of those who remain to France out of Spain? You are wofully deceived; be ware of how sou try what you are thinking of even with the army here under yonr orders; it will be dangerous. And then you menace your brother I You I you menace Napoleon! Ob, Sirel you shock me.’* (Here Soult put himself into the attitude, sod used the same gestures as he had done to Joseph, and they were very striking ; be covered bis eye with one of his bands, and with the other seem-d to repulse some horrid Image, and bis color and looks were very animated.) "Wbo are you ? wbat are you ? wbo bae made yon ? Your brother; and you menace him 1 Burn your letter, Bire, and tbiok again." "Wbatl" exclaimed tbe king, "am I not his elder bro ther; tbe chief of bis family?" "Yes, Sire, but you speak not ns n brother, you speak and would act as a king ; and you are not tbe chief of moaarcha. Burn*your letter " Ma .xtau.
