If he is elected it will be purely as General ilcCnitnxK. ' We do not see tie eccouragemect for peace thataome seem.to be able to draw.frcm the Chicago cobvention There is, no doubt, a growiDg dcaire at the North, that peace should be male, but on their term?, not on ours. Ice Northern mind is not yet prepared to take in this last alternative. It is not suffieiently tired of the war to stop it'OQ tha coodition of 'separation and Southern independeoce. To stop it short of that now, woald be to ruin both parties it would be to provide for a com pulsory uoioa of hatred, hardly less destructive, arjd in- fiaitely more loathsoma than a state of open war. To that there ma? be an end. or the hope of an end. Of j . m th other there would appear to be none- If there be anything encouraging in the Northern a-pect of afhirs, it is iu the growiDg frequency and gen erality of the talk aboot peace, familiariziag tbe minds of the people there with tbe idea of peace and giving rise to a desire for peace, which may here after produce its own fulfillment, eves with separation. The Chicago Convention does not siern likely to forward this consummation very ranch perhaps it may retard it. Uales3 there be something concealed that we cannot even guess, or un less etmethiDg occurs in the future that we do tot at all anticipate, we think the succtss of the Chicago nom inee i3 undesirable. We think old Abs conld only prcsecate the war, and McCleixak will do the same thing, only with greater vigor and ability. OmciAii ADvicei from General Forrest to the 1st itEtant have been received. He reports that the enemy have evacoated tho Memphis and Charleston Railroad up to Memphis, end that the Yankee troops are moving the Mississippi river en touts to Yirgiaia and Mi&- acari. U:ner accounts say tney have gone 10 hhsb- ma. We are inclined to believe that theee tooops were iih Suebman in the late attack upon Hood. We aqbeh with ths Raleigh Confederate that the report which has reached the Charleston Courier as to General Geokgk B. McClbllan beicg born in Colom bians. C, or at "Doke," between Columbia and Winacsboro', in that State, is wholly erroneous. We had before beard, what the Confederate vouches for on General McClkllan's own word, that he (the General) was Darned after our former distinguished Senator Geo, E. Badges, (leaving out the E.)

The Richmond En quirer of Monday contradicts the report which has gone the reuniTa of some of the papers, that Gen. John H. Wisder had been removed from command at Ander sonviile, Ga. This report, the Enquirer is glad to learn, is entirely without foundation. Fcscn asks the following question : What i3 tbe difkrence between bad beer, giDger beer and good beer t Because tbey are respectively All-slop, All-pop and All sop. We cat the following from the Eichmond Enquirer.

Near Dkcatub, Friday Mcrning, Sept 2, 1864. s The occurrences of Wednesday last have ended io what I intimated in my last migjt be the fortunes of the day tha evacuation of the Gate City, and the re moval ot the forces left in ths trenches to a point where tbey could be unittd with those who have beea acting itdfDendeBtSv under Gcm. Hardee, lor tbe last few da's. Early on the marking of the 1st it was officially aa- pprta'aed that the dioaster on Wednesday eveoine was fully cs serk'U as first reported, and that the force of the enemy oa the Macon road consisted of five full corps of infantry, with a large fo-ce of cavalry. It was olso known that a large force was south of the Chattahoo chee, in the vicinity of the railroad bridge. Both of these were threatening the city, and as it would have been folly to attempt to icsidt both, an evacuation waa promptly determined upon, while the forces of Gen. Hardee aDd Lse should m-ke an attempt to reach a point where they wouid be joined by those who might be withdrawn from the city. The removal of all the eappliea and ammunition that the transportation facilities of be army would permit commenced early 1 bursday.and wus continued through out the day. Large quantities of provisions were a s3 distributed to tbe people, and at Digntfall all on hand stored in the Georgia railroad warehouse, and cars on tbe tract. Throughout the day, dso, the several bodies, of troops, as tbey weft withdrawn from the defences aDd filed through the city, were permitted access to the public slore. i be rolling stocs or tne railroads, con sisting of about one hundred care, and six engines, was coaceatrattd near the robing mill beiore Jars, and oy that hour all the troops had passed through, with the exception of the rear guard, left to prevent straggling. And here I would mention a fact creditable to the State troops. Their withdrawal was accomplished in good order and without confusion or straggling.- The egolars acted differently. The order was for the troops to mass ia the vicinity of McDonough, an! the wagon trains acd all moved out ia that direction. Previous to my leavicg tbe telegraph office was also closed, and at dark the evacaauon was completed, with the excep tion of the detailed guard before mentioned. Of course gn at excitement prevailed throughout the day, but a modcrare degrea of good order was obtained. A few liceotieu3 citizens and soldiers embraced the oc casion to display the wickedness of their nature, but the great ehss of both clssars acted with the greatest decoram. The ctiizfcs who had sun:red from the mal ice of the enemy during ti e bombardment, looked on sorroicgly, and indulged in conjectures as to what would be their fate wber once in tne enemy s power : while tbe troops filed through the streets, with a steady tread it is true, but Deveriheless with sorrow depicted on their weather beattn countenancf s. s As to the 6cenes that folic wed through the nhrht I can only report second handed. Tbe order was to burn only government .property Jeft behind, but this would necessarily iavolve the destruciioo of the Georgia de pot, the rolling stccs la tne city, and the rolling mill. A centlerraa who left t'e cUy early this mornine in forms me the depot was fired about 11 o'clock, and the cars, &c, aa hour or two later. Tbe explosion cooss- cjueut upon tbe nriag oi tne ordnance train took place about 2 o'clock tnis morning, and was heard and felt .to a great distance. Tbeie are various reports as to the ourrung of ctner propeny, dui irom me Desc informa tion I can gather, no instance of great outlawry occur red. ' . Whether the yankees yet occupy Atlanta I cannot say, bat presume the telegraph will inform you ere this reaches you. I only know that there was nothing to prevent tlr.ir making aa entry, as tne evacuation was complete. Many citiz'na came out but thousands re- mained some Decaa?e tney coma n;i get away, onr manv from choice. At djy break this morning the! enemy had not rosde their appearance in the city, but there was r oining 10 prevent tneir oomg it any mo ment. 1 bear rna'jy reports of desertions by wholesale, and of dissatisfacaoo ar.d strangling, borne or tnia is inevit able, but it is '0 by bopc-d h has not prevailed to tbe ex tent repo' ted. li mu?t be admitted that the discipline of the army ?:i not been so favorable during She last 30 davs as crevionsly ; why it Las ben so is palpable. Tbe police regulations of the camp have been much lcss stringency enforced, end it ia o be fearrd that tbe undue bcocae allowed has resulted deplorably in this emergency. When yen Kcxt hear fcm me I hope it will be from the vicinity of "ibe front, for which point I ahaU en deavor to" mke my way as soon r.s po3ibie. Eovsn. UAI KOS! A NO Til I KG 3. A great. many people are unhappy if tLey can't get a bat:)slek for aiijoer, or lament tbe failare of the veg- etatdi this season. We pity the helplessness of all such poor creatures, j he earth, tbe air, the waters abound ia materials for food. Almost any thing that you can crack is good to eat. Since the refreshing rains, with an ingenious friend of ours, we have been gathering ushrcoais. lie is a person of exceedingly active ap petite, and Is ever ready to lend us bis experience in the preparation ora breakfast. With prejudices against what we bad vulgarly aFsociated with the agaric mus- cariua, or devil s snuu box, and which wa ascertained from cur friend was a fungus putting up frcm decayed vegetables, or decomposing animal matter we have found the cbampiffnou a ni03t delightful article of food a rare and notable delicacy. Care only must be ta ken in tbe s;iection, and the rules for which may be found in Miss Irene s familiar cookery. Jbe Agaric Campestris, or common mushrcom, is found out on tba commons, m grassy lanes, m meadows, etc. It is cooked wnh milk, butter and crackers sea soned with salt aod pepper. Care ia to be taken in tbe distinguishing between the good and bad, as we have remarked, as the eatiog of tbe toad stool has the effect of killing you. Rats are another well known, but neglected, 3onrce tf commissary supplies, ice Chinese have them in their markets, just us we have bares and parti idges. An excellent article, akia to this, is fried eaaila. They are greatly relished iu Paris. Almost ary well is full ot them-(not fried ) The young rook ia eaten in England, and as we know of no difference between the rook and the crow,1 we djnot see why young crows may not be eaten, or, indeed, in war time?, old crows. For consumptive people, snakes are excellent : tbe receipt for making viper broth may be found in the pharmacopcea.

Thf fall or Atlanta. Thinking that a brief resume of the operations on the Georgi line may not be without its interest and use we subjoin aa outline history, carefully made up from the various sources of - intelligence tt our command. Up to the 27 th ult., the enemy's lines extended north east and" south-west, between Atlanta acd the Chatta hoochee, but on that day changed direction so as to reach from Sandtown to a point opposite to and be tween East Point and Fairburn. The 28th and 29th seemed to have been spent in preparations for an advance, and on the 30th six army corps in two heavy columns eet out for Jonesboro. Skirmishing between ouroutpos's and the enemy's advance immediately com menced and continued during the greater portion of the day in the neighborhood of that phce. wkdnksdat's fight, acq. 31st. To check tbe enemy's advance, Lee'a and Hardee's corps wera immediately detached by Gen. Hoed, but, owing, it is said, to the guides losing their way, did not arrive in position till late ia the day. In this way the af.ack which was to have beea made oa tbe morning of tbe 31st did not take place till between 2 and 3 o' clock on tha evening of that day. Tha interval of leisure-thus afforded them was taken advantage of by the enemy to throw up some earthworks, which were as saulted by our troops with only a partial success. The enemy's skirmish line wa3 taken aud a portion of Lee's corps Ciptnred tbe works immediately in its front. In front of a great part of Hardee's corps a dark gully in tervened between it and tha enemy's works, rendering the charge at this point abortive. Under ihese cir cumstances it was found impossible to attain the objects proposed, and our troops withdrew at nightfall to their original position and entrenched. v Thursday's battle, sept. 1st. On the next evening the enemy left his entrenchments and moved against onr works in heavy force. Four successive and furious assaults were in turn met and repulsed,but on the 6th charge the force brought egaiest Govan's brigade was so overwhelming as to force it back, thereby banking those portions of the line which still stood firm. Under these circumstances outfliDk ed and in want of ammunition Gen. Hardic was com pelled to again withdraw, which he did in tbe direction of Love joy's, this eide of Jonesboro'. Gen. Lee, who appears to have held the right of our line in this day's fight, also withdrew durir-g the night towards Atlanta, for the purpose of forming a jane lion with Gen. Hood and tbe main army. Friday's operators, Sept. 2d. ' The result of Wednesday and Thursday's fighting having been so unfortunate, Hardee's corps beicg cut ofl, and the enemy firmly lodged on the Macon road, it was evident that Atlanta must Be given np, and accor dingly, at 2 o'clock on Friday moroiEg our army evac uated the place, retreating southward, toward Hardee. Between nine ancLeleven o'clock in tbe day, that portion of the enemy still in position before Atlanta entered the city, and after leaving a garrison, pressed th rough on the track of our forces. During the day it does not appear that acy farther bounties than some ekirmishmg on bank and rear occur red. PRESENT POSITION, LOSSES, 7TC. About one o'clock on Saturday morning, the third, HoDd eilee'ed his junction with Hardee, ana at last ac counts cur entire army was drawn up in line of battle before Lovejoy'e, no whit demoralizad, and but little weakened by less of men or materiel. In Wednesday's fight we learn ihat our loss ms comparatively slight ; and s on tbe succeeding day, we fought behind breastworks, this day s loss too was far from being anything equal to that of the enemy. .Since Thursday's battle, however, up to the present, there has-been no heavy fighting ; though some rumors to the eflfct of an engagement having occurred on Sun day last were at one time current. Oar present line is understood to extend from Lovejoy's to McDonough, this latter place having been probably chosen ss a rest ing place for our right, in order to permit the line, it necessary, to be extended towards Covingtoy, on the Georgia R d. Such is a brief and, aa far 83 we can now tell, accurate account of the operations attendant on the fall of A tlanta.. Oar entire losses amount to a little over four thousand killed and wounded : eight field pieces lost by Hardee ; some siege guns left by Hcod at Atlanta ; from 5 to 8 locomotives ; between 150 and 200 freight cars, 3nd some ordoano, commissary and quartern! ster stores detsoyed. The blow, though un deniably heavy, is by no means d sheartening ; and as to any fatal c fleet it may have, wy can only say that we have, ere tbie, ecfLred reverses trebly severe, aod still live through it all. Tile Georgia Front. S;nce the fighting oi test week there has been noth ing more serious going on than occasional Ekirmiehin? and artillery duelling. The news from the front th s morning is enc jurngicg. The telegraph conveys the gratifying intelligence that onr forces haveAforcf d the enemy from Jonesboro, wuo is retreating towards At lanta. - Our total losses, as will be seen by the telegrams, is not over fifteen hundred ; that of lhnemy is estimat ed over five thousand. This disproportion is attributed to tho fact oftheJYankeesjbaving at.some points'charged in as mai.y as ten lines deep. Hardee's corps is reported in particular as having fought with the most desperate gallantry on the 1st. Reports from Atlanta state that no outriecs have been committed by the enemy, and the only annoyance felt so far have been from pilfering and robbery by stragffleta. Some of the inhabitants who raised the white nig on the advent of the Yankees, were met with volleys ot abuse for their cowardice and declarations that they (the enemy) would not trust those who after living so long in a rebel city, had at length turned against theiriellow citizens.
