Late and Important from Atlanta.—A
gentleman well known in this section of Geor
gia. (says tb ? aeon Telegraph. 20tb.) left
. Atlanta Satur lay at 11 o'clock. He reports
i shat no trams arrived there ou Thursday, Fri>»
; day and Saturday, up to the time he left. The
Federal army were without a supply of meat
were entirely out of flour, but had plenty of
i hard tack. They had no corn or forage, and
their draft animals and cavalry stock were
“perishing bn hn,'4rcdnA This is undoubtedly
true. He beard the testimony of the Federal
; officers, iu conversation between themselves,
j to the fact, in these words. The stock he him-
I self ? aw was in a wretched condition. The
i
| enemy never sent out a foraging expedition of
j less Uiau a brigade. We believe these state
ments to be entirely correct. Our informant
also said that it was impossible for the Fed
eral officers to protect the exiled population
from plunder, and many of the people had
fared badly. He himself had lost all of aval
liable library.

Registration of Exempts and Detailed
Men.—The Richmond Dispatch says the War
Department has ordered the registration of all
male white persons between the ages of .seven
teen and fifty years who are not now actually
in the field or in the reserves, and also of all
boys who will attain to the age of seventeen
within the next twelve months, with the
month in which they will become seventeen*
The grounds of exemption or detail will also
have to be given.
Fighting Governors of the Confederacy.—
Governor Harris, of Tennessee, is with t'ne Army
of Tennessee; Governor Smith, of Virginia, com
manded a brigade and was several times wounded
in the first three years of the war; Gov. Vance,
of North Carolina, and Governor Watts, of Ala.,
; have each served a campaign, and, we presume,
I “smelt gunpowder,” Governor Clark, of Mississ
j ippi, and Gov. Alien, of Louisiana, both “smelt
gunpowder aad wore desperately wounded in the
! battle of Baton Rouge, not to mention the other
j actions in which they nave been engaged.
The War lews
Tiie enemy, within the past day or
1 two. has crossea a force to the north side
| of James river, at Curie’s Neck, and has
j shown some signs of hostilities. The ob
| ject of the movement is yc-t undeveloped,
though Grant has always resorted to a feint
1 of this description when he had any impor
! pant enterprise on foot. Many well-informed
| persons believe that lie contemplates some
i bold movement at an early day on the south
| side; and if so, this explains the crossing of
i the troops. We shall probably soon hear of
j stirring events on and about the Weldon rail
! road.
From official information received last even
j ing, we learn that the enemy yesterday morn
i ing drove iu our pickets at Newmarket, but
; in the afternoon our forces advanced, drove
\ them back, and re established our original
■ picket line.
LATEST FROM PETERS3TTRG.
Passengers by last evening's train, report that
the enemy yesterday made an attempt to ad
vance his lines on the Weldon railroad, but was
met by Wilcox's command and driven back. We
captured eighty-nine prisoners, who were
brought over by the train. There was among
them one or two commissioned officers.—
Doubtless this was a repetition of the move
ment of the previous day, and it is now ap
parent that the Yankees are determined, if
possible, to extend their lines in the direction
of the Southside railroad. Indeed, it has
been all along known to be a part of Grant’s
plans to establish himself upon that line of
communication, as he h«3 upon the direct
Southern route ; but he has made a bad be
ginning, and, it is hoped, will be held in cheok
permanently.
THE Alt3lY OF TENNESSEE.
Official information has been received that
tbe Army of Tennessee is in splendid condi
tion and spirits.
In a dispatch to General Bragg, dated Sep
tember loth, 1864, General Hood says he is
very much gratified at the feeling now exist
ing among the officers and men of his army,
and that they are in better condition for battle
than at any time since they crossed the Chat
tahoochee.
Official information lias also been received
that the extra duty list (consisting of detailed
men) is being materially decreased.
[Richmond Dispatch , lllh.
Few people have ever borne trials with as firm,
none with a firmer spirit than the people of this
Confederacy. What further trials they may yet
have to endure omniscience can alone foresee.
But this firmness must not bo classed with want
of sensibility. The people bear their ills firmly
because they are resolute to bear all the ills which
war cau bring, rather than submit to dishonor or
subjugation. The cares which the state of the
couutry impose upon all—the solicitude and sense
of responsibility which weighs down those in au
be apparoat to the most casual obscr
ver. Thought and anxiety have set their im
press upon all, and during the last three years,
most grown men have actually grown old to three
times what that lapse of time* ought to call for
unuer other circumstances. Before the war most
of our leading military men had dark hair. Now
all seem to have grown more or less gray. The
same causes tell upon our leading civilian*. The
Confederacy is young but its people are getting
old faster than those of any other country in the
world, Poland not excepted.
We have spoken of the men of the country be
cause they are necessarily and properly more in
the public eye, but who shall say that wearing
days and weeks and months of anxiety do not set
their seal upon the face of the mother, the wife or
the sister who sits lonely at home, thinking of
tbe loved ones who are exposed to the sickness of
the camp and the balls of the enemy, whose heart
throbs and whose eves grow dina when a list of
killed and wounded is published, lest one dear
familiar name should appear among the dead or
tho suffeiers ? Wilmington .Journal.

Additional from the north.
New York papers of the 14th instant are re
ceived. There is nothing of interest contained
in them. The Herald reports Early as mass
ing*his forces on Sheridan’s left, and in the
same paragraph announces that “the enemy
seems to be retiring, with Averill close upon
his rear.”
They had some oratory in Washington,
Tuesday, on the occasion ot a flag raising by
the Lincoln and Johnson Association. Lin
coln was serenaded, but in a brief response
said he had “made up bis mind notto do much
talking, as he had observed that some persons
had lately injured themselves very much by
plain speaking. Seward also made a speech,
in which the following related to his Auburn
promise about the draft :
“Fellow citizens : In a speech I made at
Auburn, I said there should be no draft, be
cause the army is being reinforced by five to
ten thousand volunteers per day. The pfcople
of Auburn understood me, and cleared the
district of their draft by volunteering. Pa
triotic men in Philadelphia write me that
there they understood me to say there will be
no draft, and therefore they stop volunteering.
I avail myself, therefore, of this occasion to
correct their mistake by saying, that as grace
can only show itself by works, so the draft
will surely come if we do not volunteer and,
so prevent it. I hope that point is settled
now.”
It appears that the draft in New York city
will now take place, Seward notwithstanding.
Says the Herald:
“A draft has been ordered to take place on
Monday, September 19, in Ohio and other
States whose quota has not been filled up. It
is also ordered to be proceeded with this mor
ning in the Twelfth and Thirteenth districts
of this State in accordance with the Presi
dent’s proclamation of July 18.”
The Herald says that it is reported at St.
Louis that about fifteen thousand rebels are
concentrating at the mouth of the Red River,
apparently for some hostile purpose yet undis
closed.
William McDonald, a man of great wealth,
and the owner of the celebrated trotting nag,
Flora Temple, died at his residence, near Bal
timore, on the night of the 6th, in the thirty
fifth year of bis age.
Tfie European Press <m tiie
American War.
The English papers of the 29tb pit. contain
copious comments on the American, war. The
London Times cannot believe tfrat Grant,
whom it calls “a pertinacious General that no
number of reverses seems sufficient to check,”
can intend a movement against Richmond up
the north side of the river, but rather thinks
that he will attempt, by such a movement, to
reduce Drewry’s Bluff. The same paper, on
the Presidential election in the United States,
sa vs:
If the Federate win—if Grant takes Rich
mond ; Sherman, Atlanta : and Farragut, Mo
bile ; —we may anticipate that the peace party
will be discouraged, and their opponents en
abled to prosecute the war. If, however, the
Confederates win, and the Federate experience
any signal disaster, the war party will be
overpowered, while a similar result would
probably follow even if neither party won, and
things remained exactly as they are. This is
the strong point in favor of the South. If
they can only prevent the balance from being
turned decisively against them, the advantage
of the campaign will be theirs.
In the event, we cannot but anticipate im
portant consequences in the Northern States.
Nobody can well anticipate that Mr. Lin
coln would be re elected without a contest, or
that the contest could be otherwise than des
perate. But a desperate contest implies con
flicting principles, and Mr. Lincoln's principles
have been distinctly pronounced. His policy,
as at present avowed, is war—war “to the
bitter end”—and it is on the party professing
similar views that he has hitherto relied for
support. But this adoption of the war on the
part of one political section leaves the other
with the alternative but to adopt, in some
shape or other, a policy of peace. It may be
transformed or concealed under various dis
guises, but to this end it must come at last.
If the Republicans, with their unsparing ef-<
forts, could do nothing against the South, it
is not to be imagined that the Democrats, with
their half-and-half policy, could do any more.
If McClellan is to be their champion, we know
already what may be expected. The armies
of the North would be more prudently han
dled, and, after a check, would be more expe
ditiously withdrawn ; but they would certain
ly make no more impression on the South
than the armies of Grant and Hooker.
It appears to us, then, that if the Demo
cratic party make a fight for power, they must
do it substantially on principles of peace, and
the events of the next; few weeks will proba
bly enable us to anticipate the result.
The London Army and Navy Gazette says :
Pending the great Presidential contest in
the North, on which the attention of all men
in America is fixed, as upon its result hangs
the issue of peace or war for the year 1865,
nothing so decisive has occurred lately in the
history of the war as to determine the .choice
of the electors towards one candidate or an
other. The negative results of the campaign
are an argument for the peace Democrats. !
* * * * The men of the North I
have now to decide upon their future—to ;
choose between four years more of ruin and
disaster or peace and separation from a peo
ple which only wish to be left alone. A little
calm reflection and looking back upon the
past will surely convince them that the pros
pects of the war of subjugation are now utter
ly desperate.
The German capitalist s have gotten enough
of those Yankee bonds. The London Times
says :
Letters from Frankfort say : “Our market
Las decidedly, for the present, received enough
of American bonds.” The sale of the parcels
brought by the last steamers has been practi
cable only at a reduction of two per cent from
the New York prices and- the Amsterdam
market seems to be in a similar condition, or
ders for sale from that quarter having been
transfered to Frankfort. The bonds already
held, however, are in comparatively strong
hands, so that a speculative panic is avoided.
A Rebel Iron Plated Ram at Sea under
the Union Flag.— Our European advices by the
Hibernian and City of London inform us that an
iron platad steam war ram, hoisting the U nited
States flag, was seen passing the Isle ofWight on
th e afternoon of the 26th of July, steering to the
Westward. We regret this intelligence as con
veying a fact of the utmost importance, and con
sequently call the especial attention of the execu
tive. revenue and port authorities to it. The Uni
ted States Government has no ram of any descrip
tion employed in its service off the const of Europe
or on the Atlantic, whereas the rebel naval repre
sentatives in the Old World have, as everybody
knows, traded in vessels of this description, from
Laird’s yard, at Birkendhead, England, to Bor-
$5.00 (er Month
de&ax, ia France, and thence'awav ta the shores
of the Bosphorus.
The steavn ram which passed the Isle of Wight
on the 26th July was, in all likelihood, a rebel ram
notwithstanding the fact that she displayed tho
Union Flag. This has, no doubt, been done iu
order to enable her to escape interruption on the
part ol our cruisers. If she was a rebel war ves
sel she must be near our coast by this time, and
U behooves the port officers and naval authorities
at :New Tort, Boston, Philadelphia, Portland and
the mouth of the James river to keep a sharp
lookout for her. An iron plated rebel ram could
inflict the most serious damage upon our city in a
single night. A dashing and unscrupulous com

The Plau for Reconstruction.
From the New York Mercury's review of the
object of the National Democratie Platform, we
make the following extracts :
tue flax for reconstruction.
It was, that what was once the United States be
divided into five separate Confederacies, each in
dependent of tho other to the management of its
local affairs, yet bound to each other in certain
respects, of which I shall speak hereafter. These
Confederacies, as divided, were to consist of the
following States :
1. The Cotton and the South Atlantic States.
2. The Trans-Mississippi States.
3. The States of the Great Northwest.
4. The Middlo States.
5. The New England States.
The propriety and expediency of admitting the
New England States was debated at considerable
length. The old hostility to these States was con
spicuous in the course of the discussion. The
policy in relation to their admission was no* deter
mined, and the question whether six States are to
be ‘‘left out in the cold” is still an epen one. The
Mercury proceeds :
Another important feature c-f this proposed Con*
federation is a provision for admitting to it, in
case circumstances warrant it, the provinces in
British America, and what is now the Empire of
Mexico. But this is an event so far in the future
that it cannot claim more than a mere mention of
its possibility. I therefore pass on to the condi
tions for tho construction of this Union for the
future.
CONDITIONS OF THE NEW UNION.
Leaving to the separate Confederacies—l use
the term in its generic sense—the right to manage
affairs as they may choose, they are
to to eaca other by alliances, offensive
and defensive. Such qnestions as affect the inter
ests of all are to bo considered by a sort of gener
al council, composed of representatives from each
Confederacy, more analagous to our present Cabi
net or Senate than the House of Representatives.
Taere are to be no restrictions of any kind upon
intcr-Confederato trade or travel. In a word, it
will be one grand Confederation of Confederacies,
bound to each other byJionds of commercial union,
each independent of the other, yet having a share
anu an interest in the control of affairs affectin' l,
the common welfare of all.
It will readily occur to the minds of your read
ms that this plan is nearly identical in its essential
features with the well known Zoliverein, or Cus
toms Union of the German States.
THE NEW CONFEDERATION AND THE DEMOCRACY.
ihis project, I hardly nee < add, received the
endorsement es the leaders of tho Democrat ieparty,
and by them was interwoven with the action of the
Chicago Convention. It is understood that Gen
eral Augustus Belmont was the first to develop
the plan; probably because es his intimate ac
quaintance with tho Government of the German
States. At first it was recoil ed with surpriee; but
the more it was discussed the more favor it ob
tained, until at last it was decided to incorporate
the idea with the' proceedings of the Democratic
Convention. More than that, undoubted evidence
was received that the plan is agreeable to tho view’s
of Jeff. Davis, though, for obvious reasons, he
would refrain for the present from divining it to
the Southern people.
Anxious for peace, but opposed to the restora
tion of the old Union, tho Southern leaders to whom
this project was broached at once assented to it,
and are now desirous fir the election of the Chi
cago candidate, in the hope that it may result in a
reconstruction of tho Union on u.basis satisfactory
and honorable alike to the North and to the South.
"Os course, it was not deemed prudent to make
all this apparent in the debates of the Convention,
still less in the platform adopted, but you may
rely upon it that the leaders were well informed of
it, and are pledged to carry it into execution in the
event of the success of the Democratic party at
the polls in November. Time and circumstances
will doubtless cause certain changes in the minor
details of this scheme, but they will not alter its
important features.”
i-iiliappy Poland.
In the following we have a picture of what
our enemies would do so us, if a success
should attend their arms like that which has
reestablished the sway of Russia in unhappy
Poland :
[Warsaw (August 5) Correspondence of the
London Times.]
The final scene of a melancholy drama was
played to an end to-day,
The last chief of the celebrated Polish Nation
al Government and four of its members died
this morning upon tlie gallows.
The unfortunate victims were Romuald
Tranguit, a discharged Russian Colonel ;
Joseph Toozyski, a bookkeeper, Zutluski, a
teacher at the gymnasium, and John Jezlor
anski. a tax collector, all young men. none
over thirty years of age. Originally, twenty
two men and four women were sentenced to
death by the military tribunals ; but the Vice
roy pardoned seventeen of the men and all
the women. 'lt must not be imagined, howev
er, that the objects of Count Berg's clemency
have much reason to congratulate themselves;
for their sentences have been commuted part
ly into many years of labor in the Siberian
mines, partly to shorter periods of confinement
in fortresses in the game bleak and inhospita
ble country.
The five persons were executed upon the
glacis of the fortress this morning, although a
pardon was hoped for to the last moment. —
They stepped upon the scaffold firmly, and
underwent their fate with perfect resignation
and composure in presence of an immense
crowd of speculators.
Thus perished the latest victims of the ill- (
judged and ill-fated Polish rising of 186S. j

Mr. Anderson did not wait to be called on for i
any of these articles, hot came up nobly tbrough
a sense of duty.
We commend his example to the old men (the ;
property holders) of the country, and wokM rejoice
to see them do likewise. I
Haul in supplies for the government and not j
wait to be visited on the subject.
If the liberal and patriotic spirit of Mr. Ander
