Sfc . mi, , PEACE MOVEMENfS. A cotemporary urges that "it is wise to ItHiu - give all the aid and comfort we oao to the peaoe movement at the North," aad hopes "the people as well as the Press of tbe 3oath will refrain from denonnoing the ,-PT; . movement or ohiHing the efforts of its advocates composing the Democratic Party, for to them alone can we look for an honorable adjustment and acknowledgment of nationality." We differ entirely with onr * friend; we have no confidence in any party in the North, especially the "Democratic" party, who'have been plundering the Sonth under that name wheaeyer in power. AH our "aid and comfort" is needed at home,' and none we can give the Yankees will help tfiam in any way. We agree with Governor Boobam that "tbe ray of hope that some sanguine pereons supposed they saw in the Chioago Convention, has gone ont in darkness." In fact, it matters little to the - Sooth wh<ris elected President, or. on what platform ; there is bat one way to secure peace, and that ieto conquer it?and we can only do so by sendipg to the field the hordes of speculators that infest the country under , ' the names of Commissary, Qaartermaster, and Impressing Agefits, and "Boards" of _ . divers names. THE NEWS. Sinoo the evacuation of Atlanta, we have little of interest from the several seats of war. saving some successful skirmishing on oar part, near Petersburg. It will be seen 'that Sherman hat asked for an armistice of tea 'days, to enable the white women and ahildien to leave Atlanta, and go North or Sooth, which was aooeded to by General Bead, under protest It is doubtless intended either to fortify or destroy the place, and is another Yankee trick to give time to oar disadvantage. How things will work it re* mains to be seen, though we have learned, unofficially, that general Beauregard left Ufa special train for the Georgia front a day or two since, with view of taking the command. We look with interest to the movements now taking place, and feel assured that a momentary depression will soon give way, before active determination to redeem what we h&ve lost. AQBICU.LT URAL DETAILS. It appear* from the recent and repeatec orders on die subject (says the Raleigl Confederacy) that the Government designi to he very striot with the agrienltnral ex exempt* and details in regard to the lav and regulations on the subject of the sal of their surplus supplies to the Governmeo > and the families of soldiers. Every exemp and detailed man is required to render ti the enrolling officer in his district, a detail ed statement of the marketable surplus pro dooedand sold by him, with testimony tba the sales were to the Government or soldier* families. "THAT'S SO." If the loss of Atlanta, says the Rich mond Enqvirert shall open the eyes of th< people, and arouse the energy of the Con federate Bureau, and destroy the ehamefu system of favoritism which now, under th< of details, not only prevents me'i fromgoing into the army, bat actually en ten the ranks and takes men out and detail them under the "justice, equity and neces ity plea," the loes will eventually prov< our great gain.

These Con? r federacies to consist of the Cotton or At' lantio States; the Trans-Mississippi States; the States of the North-West; the Middle States and the New England States. / A similar plan was proposed by Mr. Vallandigham, in Congress, in Febroaiy, 1861. FROM SULLIVAN'S ISLAND. Septembeb 7, 1864. Mr. Editor:?The state of affairs has nnt chanced verv mnoh since mv last. On . the night of the first instant! a vessel coming in, ran against an old wreck near Long Island, and sank in a very short time, the crew esoaped in the light boats in safety, the.cargo arid all went down. On the night of the second, a' large light was kept up on jthe fleet, and has been every night since.? On Saturday last, an ezohange of prisoners took place in the harbor, about 12 o'clock. Daring the time all was quiet, not a gun was fired. As soon as our steamer reached the city the firing on Sumter was resumed. A steamer with a valuable cargo arrived at night. On Sunday, there was Bome firing on Sumter and the city. Some shots were also exchanged between the batteries here and Morris Island. For the last three days the firing on Sumter has fallen off a great deal. It appears the anemy have couohided that it is a match for them, they have speril their fury against it for over twelve months, and it still remains impregnable. A writer in one of the Northern journals, in speaking of the siege says, there has been iron enough expended to build a railroad forty miles, and.that the expense incurred, woula not only pay the State debt of New York) but several States, and, with all, but little or nothing has been effeoted, for Snmter stands apparently as strong as at tDe commencement. The enemy is, no doubt, tired, of the siege, bat how oan he get oat of it, unless he backs down and acknowledges the faot, that the road to Charleston is too difficult to travel- This would be humiliating to them, but, of two evils, it is best to choose fh'e least. The news of tfie fall of Atlanta has rather a dampening effect upon the minds 'of some. It is true it is a disaster now beyond our control. Yet we, as a people, are not subdued. The campaign of the present year has been pearly all the time favorable to our cause. We may expeot to meet some reverses. Oar Revolutionary ancestors, in the darkest hour, did not despair, but continued to rally in defence?of their liberties, even when onr Metropolis and nearly onr whole State, was overran by the enemy. Their persoveranoe was at length crowned wi?h victory. It is said of Gen. Washington, that he was as calm and composed after a defeat as at other times. He, alBp, amid the perplexing scenes through which he passed, often sought aud trusted iu the assistance of the Great Ruler of the Universe, who controls the destinies of all nations. We believe our cause to be a just one, and will eventually succeed. Let us all imitate the example of the great warrior and statesman?discharge our duty to our country, leaving the result to Him who overrules aH things for good. I am yours as ever, _ DARBY. ?"The Post Office of the Army of Tenn essee was destroyed, with its contents, in the abandonment of Atlanta..

For the YorkviBe Enquirer. RESPONSE. "Are you in favor of peaoe on any other terms than an acknowledgment of the independence of the Confederate States of America." In reply to the above interrogatory, propounded to the oandidates for the Legislature, by "York District," I hfcve to say that I am not in favor of peace, short of an unqualified recognition of the independence of the Confederate States of Ameirioa, by the ynited States. ?. r ' , Peaoe, with reconstrvotion, is impracticable, and peace with submission, impossible; bat peace with recognized independence, is what we seceded fur, 4nd what we have foncrht for. and therefore, the onlv ceaoe - o # "T ' r ? that will be acceptable and satisfactory. J. W. RAWLINSON. September 7,1861. For the Yorkvllle Enquirer. To the Voters of York District. By the partiality of friends my name has been brought before the public, to represent you in the Senate of the State. I am the candidate of no party or section. If it be your pleasure to approve this nomination, I shall esteem it a distinguished honor; ^nd will serve you with a true Southern Heart, and with the single purpose to promote the best interests of my-country. It is proper here to remark, that I did-not consent to the use of my name in this connection, until the field was tendered to me by your present Senator. , As regards the question asked of the candidates, my answer is ; 1 am not in favor of a treaty of peace upon any terms short of the independence of the n?a***.*., vjuuicuci ate k;iaivo. We have hedrcL much speculation of late about peace; let it be recollected, that it is with the government of the enemy, not with their conventions, or people, that a treaty of peace is to be effected: our government has made three distinct efforts to communicate with the authorities at Washington, on this subject, and has failed in all; recently their President has been graciously pleased to say?if we will lay down our arms, abandon our own Government, swe?r allegiance to his, and emancipate our slayes, he will pardon us for past offences ! These terms of absolute and unconditional submission have beenheard only to be despised, and need no comment. Again, by th6 manifesto of the late Congress, which is sustained by nil the messages of our President, bv w ?? ~.~T ' ? the general tone of our press, and by the almost universal sentiment of our people, it has been proclaimed to the civilized world, that all we ash, or have we asked, is "to be let alone." Still it is thundered forth by the hero, pf the Scotch cap, unconstitutional submission or extermination ! If we look beyond the government to the people, we find a political party-as-, sembled at Chicago?whosS real object is office?proposing peace on the basis of union. Are we prepared for this ?. For myself, I answer?No ! And I am sure the same answer will ring throughout the Confederaev. ? ? When South Carolina withdrew from the Union, which our fathers established, the great act was. done with a deliberation and solemnity befitting its importance; and it was not done, until that union had become intolerable; since the separation, I have seen nothing in the character or conduct or principles of the-people of the Nortb; or in the administration of their government, to induce us to regret the act; or to reunite our destinies, tfith a people, who are manifestly unable to govern themselves ; who are fast drifting into anarchy, to end in Monarchy. No man goes before me in in ardent desire for peace; but it is that peace which springs from independence^? from the admitted right of self-goyeninjent, not, that ndespjcable peace wKch follows flutaawsionifftor that hollow, * V 4 1 ' . . ^deceptive,, treacherous peace purchased at the price of re-onion with a people, who have invaded our -country with 8ai7&ge ferocity j.who have applied the torch to our. homes?murdered unarmed citizens?^violated the persons of unprotected women-?desecrated the churches of the living God?and now seek to drive us from the soil on which wo were born that they may occupy it themselves ! There can be no peace, no safety with such a people. Fellow Citizens, we must maintain our separate independent government' ?we must win peace with the sword or be content to lay down our arms under a tyranny and oppression more galling than was ever yet visited upon a people; we fight not merely for independence but for our very existence; for our religion, our country, our property, our lands and our lives. . Emancipation !? confiscation !-r-subjugation ! all raise their horrid heads and warn us to live free or die ! Eight millions pf people with such a cause, and protected by. such an army ?the best, the bravest that ever charged a Battery?manned a. fort?or flashed a sabre?can never be conquered. Let us take no. step. backward, but go forth to meet the shadowy future Without fear and with a manly heart, appealing to the God of Hosts for the integrity of our purpose and the justice of our cause. , CAD: JONES. Prom .Atlanta. . Macon, Sept. 10,?Sherman has ordered every white woman and child to leave Atlanta in two weeks, those taking the oath to go north, of the Tennessee river, and the balance to be sent into one lines.. .

Ganyer's factory and several dwellings were also destroyed. The fire was the work of , an inoendiary. The loss will exceed $1,600,000. 1 The Tunnel at Tunnel Hill blown Up. A lady who left her home near Dalton 6n the 14th, reaohed Macon on the 26th, having walked the whole distance. On the route, she (net Mr. Barnwell, of Dalton, an acquaintance, who informed her of the capture "of Dalton by Wheeler, and told her that he saw the tunnel at Tunnel Hill blown up by Wheeler with three barrels of gunpowder, and that it < was done most effeotually. Mr. Barnwell left Dalton on the 18th, and no donbt, although the lady coald'not furnish other dates, Dalton was surprised and. captured 1 by Wheeler before daylight on the morn- | ing of the 17th, and the tunnel was probably destroyed on the same day. Tunnel ER1I is 81 miles from Cbatta- 1 nooga and 7 miles from Dalton. It is in Murray county, Ga., where the mountains oome together and form an amphitheatre. The tunnel at this place, which Wheeler is said to have destroyed, is 1,477 feet long, 18 feet high, and with a olear width of 12 feet high. It is in a great measure ont through solid rook, being 6 feet thick at the base and 5 at the top. The approaches to the tunnel are protected on both sides by solid masonry. A tourist writes that, "ooroing out on the other side of the mountains, from thence on t? Atlanta, a distance of 100 piles, the road passes.r through a rather poor sefttion of Georgia, and there is little to interest the traveler, , except here and there a pretty town^ or the crossing of the river over a high and well built bridge, which we are forced to admire for the beauty and simplicity as well as du rability of its structure." 99* Hod. George H. Pendleton, of 0- , hio, (says the Charlottesville (Va.) Chroniole,) eaodidate of the Demooratio party on the McClellan ticket, bis represented Cia- < cioDati in Congress several terms; he is the present member. Like Vallandigham, Pogh and Long, he is an earnest advooate for Peace. His grandfather,' Nathaniel Pendletgn, of Culpeper county, Va., settled in New York shortly after the American Revolution, and was the tecond of Hamilton in his dad with Barr?and the executor nf his vKll. His father, N. G. Pendle ton, removed to Cincinnati when it was a mere village, and acquired large property, whieh descended to tbe fortunate young man who was a member of Congress when Irardlj 25 years old, and will be Vice President at 37 years of age. Mr. Pendleton is a States-Rights Democrat of the strictest sect, a lawyer who has gained distinction in the Supreme Court, a gentleman of elegant address^ and very handsome; he was eminently popular in the old Congress, especially with Southern members. Mrs. Pendleton is a daughter of Francis Scott Key, of Maryland, author of the StarSpangled Banner. She is a very elegant woman, thoroughly Southern in her tastes. and feelings, and warmly in favor of Peace. 1 Since Tittlebat Titmouse took possession of the Halls of the Aubrays, the Pendletons? so devoted to society in the palmy days of Washington?have probably never appeared "at court." r Amusing Sc^ne?An amnsing scene was witnessed on the battle field of Monocaoy. After the battle was over, and the Yankees bad fled, leaving their dead and wounded Upon the field, a wounded soldier of the Federal army appealed to a chaplain, in our service for assistance and a draught' of water.
