A salute | of one hundred shotted guns will be fired te- morrow, at daylight, in honor of the victory. Deserters coming into cur lines say they are getting fresh beef issued to them trom the drove | captured from us last week, that Hampton’s cavalry accomplished the feat, tuat they took 2,500 om » 250 prisoners, besides trains, horses, guns, etc. Some of th> rebel pickets to-day offered to trade fresh beet for coffee and other articles. On being asked what they would trade for At- Janta they had nothing to say, and retired in evident disgust. Lieut. Feel, of the 40th New York, was shot through the head to-day, while looking through an embrasure in one of our forts. He was in- stantly killed. SerTeMBeEr 2], 6 A. m.—The guns along the entire line opened this morning at daylight, and kept up their fasilade for half an hour. Since that time occasional guns are heard at | various points. W.

You style the measures proposed “unprece- dented,” and appeal to the “dark history of war” for @ parallel “as an act of studied and = nious cruelty.” t is not unprecedented, for Gen. Johnston hbimeelf very wisely and properly removed the families all the way from Dalton down, and I see no rexson why Atlanta should be excepted. Nor is it necessary to appeal to the «dark his- tory of war,” when recent and modern exam- pies are so handy. You, yourself, burned dwelling-houses along your parapet, and I have seen to. day poy houses that you have rendered uninhabitable because they stood in the way of your forts and men. You defended Atlanta on a line so close to the town that every cannon shot, and many musket shots from our line of investment that overshot their mark went into the habitations of women and chil- dren. Gen. Hardee did the same at Jonesboro’, and Gen. Johnston did the same last summer to Jackson, Mississippi. I have not accused you of heartless cruelty, but merely instance those cases of very re- cent occurrence, and could go on and enu- | merate hundreds of others, and challenge | any fair man to judge which of us has the meant of pity for the families of a ‘brave ople.”* I say it is @ kindness to these tamilies of At- Janta to remove them now at once from scenes that woman and children should not be ex- posed to; and the ‘brave people” should scorn to commit their wives and children to the rnde 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 1 ask you not to “appeal to a just God” insuch a sacriligious manner. You who, in the midst of peace and prosperity, have plunged a nation into war— dark and cruel war; who dared and badgered us to battle, ineulted our flag: seized our arsen- als and forts that were left in the honorable custody of a peacefal ordnance sergeant; seized and made prisoners of even the very first gar- Tisons sent to protect your people against ne- groes and Indians, long before any other act ‘was committed by the, to you, “natefal Lin- coln government;” tried to force Kentucky and Missouri into rebellion, in spite of themselves; falsified the vote ot Louisiana; turned loose your privateers to pinnder unarmed ships; ex- pelled Union families by the thousands, burned their houses, and declared by act of your Con- gress the confiscation of ail debts due Northern men for goods had and received. Talk thus to the Mormons, but not to me, who has seen these things, and who will this day make as much sacrifice for the peace and honor of the South as the best born Southerner among you. must be enemies let us be men, and fight it out a8 We propo-e to-day. and not deal in such hy- pocritioal a} to God and se omegn S God will judge us in doe time, and He will pronounce whether it be more humane te fight with a town fall of women and the families of “a brave ple” at our back, or to remove them in time to places of safety among their own friends and people.

Harpsr’s frRRY, Sept.2!1.—We have taken 2,680 prisoners iu the field, and with the rebel deserters, and the ot ure of a large number of sick and wounded Winchester, the entire rebel loss will b+abont 6,00). It is impos- sible as yet to form accurately an estimate of our losses, but 4s near 2s can be ascertained be Digg not reach a bigher figure than 2,200 killed, wounded and missing. The number of our prisoners captured by the enemy is a mere bagatelle; they bring on the retreat from the commencement of ‘he fizht, had little time and less inclination to make captares. The rebel prisoners taken were so rumerous that it has not been deemed advisable as yet to send them to Harper's Ferry. It woald not do to send them without a sufficieut guard; the guerrillas infesting the country might free them, and to guard them sufficiently would take more men than Sheridan feels disposed to spare at presen None of our wounded bave as yet been sent tothe Ferry. They are weil cared forin the numerous military hospitals of Winchester, which we will now hold permanetly. Immense trains are now on their way to the front with eight days’ rations for the army, which would indicate a steady parsuit of tl enemy up the valiey. These trains are well guarded, to protect them against guerrillas.

The base of supplies for the army will soon be transferred to Martinsburg. A construction train left Harper’s Ferry this morning to repair the railroad, which will Stores take four or five days. Goods of all nds are being got in readiness to leave the Ferry as soon as the road is repaired. Firing could be faintly heard this morning at Harper’s Ferry.

Fremont, withdrawing his name as a candidate for the Presidency, is published to- day: posTow> Sept. 21—Gentlemen: I feel it my duty to make one step more in the direction indicated by my letter of the 28th of August, and withdraw my name from the list of can- “The ‘Presidential contest has in effect been entered upon in such a way, that the Union of the Republican party has become a paramount necessity. The policy of the Democratic party signifies either the seperation or the reestablishment with slavery. The Chicago platform issimply seperation. Gen’l McCiellan’s letter of acceptanceis re- establishment with slavery. The Republican candidate, on the contrary, is pledged to the reestablishment without slavery, and however hesitating his policy may be, the pressure of his party will, we may hope, force him to it, Between these issues I think no manof a liberal party can remain in doubt, and I be- lieve that I am consistent with my antece- ‘dents in withdrawing, not to aid in the tri- umph of Mr. Lincoln, but to do my part to- ward preventing the election of a Democratic candidate. In respect to Mr. Lincoln I continue to hold exactly the same sentiments contained in my letter of acceptance. I consider that his administration has been politically, military and financially a failure, and its necessary continuance is the cause of regret for the country. we There never was a greater unanimity in a country than wis exhibited here at the fall of Fort Sumter, and the South was powerless in the fuce of it, but Mr. Lincoln completely par- alyzed this generous feeling. He destroyed the strength of the position and divided the Nurth when he declared to tha South that stayery should be protected. He has built up for the South a strength which other wise they should have never attained, and thie has given thern an acivocate on the Chica- go platform. The Cleveland Convention was to have been the open avowal of that condem- nation which men had been freeely expressing to each other for the past two years, and which had been made fully known to the President, but inthe uncertain condition of affairs leading men were not to be found willing to make public a dissatisfaction and condemastionu which could have rend«red Lincoln’s nomination impossible, and their continued silence and sapport established for him acharacter among the people en, leaves now nochvice.

Nothing had reached the Government, up to one p m. to-day, in the way of information concerning Sheridan’s operations, later than what was published in yesterday's Star. H® is doubtless pressing on in pursuit of Early’s fiying battalions, or what may be left of them. The fact that at Harper’s Ferry they have no jater intelligence from Sheridan goes to show that Early has not attempted to make a stand so far. We may add that no information of public ynterest has reached Washington to-day from either Grant’s or Sherman’s army. LATER. Information has just reached here to theef- fect that Sheridan’s army reached Strausburg at a late hour yesterday, and that the rebe) (retreating) rear left the town but an hour or two before ouradyance entered it. It seems to us probable that Sheridan overtook them to- day. FROM CITY POINT. The steamer Express arrived here this morn- ing with the army mails and passengers, in placefot the steamer Manohaneett, which has been temporarily withdrawn from the mail route. The Express brings no news from the front. Our cavalry has been doing considerable scouting duty of late, and occasionally has a skirmish with the rebel scouting parties, but without serious result to either side, thus far. The Express brought up thirty-five rebel de- serters, under guard of a detachment of the 20th New York volunteers, commanded by Lieut. Carr. These deserters desire to take the oath ard be released. PRIZONERS OF STATE TRANSFERRED TO FORT WARKEN. Yesterday, Capt. W. F. White, with a de- tachment of men of the 7th Veteran Reserve Corps, conveyed nineteen prisoners of State from the Old Capitol prison to Fort Warren, Boston Harbor. Some of these prisoners were arrested in Loudon county, Virginia, for fur- nishing information of our military move- ments to the rebels. SENT TO A FEMALE PRISON, Mary Kelly and Rebecca Smith, who have been confined in the Old Capitol prison upon the charge of repeatedly aiding soldiers to de- sert, by furnishing them with citizen's clothing. ‘were yesterday taken to the female prison at Fitchburg, Mass., in charge of Capt. Samuel McKeever, of the 9th regiment, Veteran Re- serve Corps. SENTENCES COMMUTED, Sixteen deserters from our army, who were tried by court martial and sentenced to be shot to death with musketry, have had the.r sen- tences commuted to imprisonment at hard la- bor during the war. Yesterday they were taken from the Old Capitol by Lieut. S. L. Hodge, and conveyed to Fort Delaware. THE PAYMASTER GENERALSOIP, Col. T. P. Andrews, Paymaster (teneral, is lying very ill at the residence of his daughter in Beltimore. Major J. H. Exton hae been appointed Acting Paymaster General during the sickness of Col. Ancrews. TUE RAID UPON THE RAPIDAN, The raid by our cavalry on the Rapidan, in which the reilroad bridge across that stream Was destroyed, was performed by four hun- éred cayalry, under command of Col. Laselle, 16th New York cavalry, sent out by General Augur. The movement was ordered in refer- ence to the then impending battle between Sheridan and Early’s forces. The expedition was successfal in the de- struction of the railroad bridge, and also the Liberty Miiis, abont six milee above the Or- ange and Alexandria Railroad, and 4,000 bar- Tels four, with considerable other property. Abcut 4 mules were captured, but on the re- turn of the party they encountered a greatly superior force of Early’s cavalry, with whom they had asmart engagement, losing 23 killed aud wounded, and the mules they had cap- tured. The mam object of the expedition was suc- cessfully accomplished. PreRsonaL.—Mr. Frederick Seward, Assist_ ant Secretary of State, returned to this city yes. day evening from New York, after an absence ot about two weeks. TELEGRAPHIO NEWS.

Utermedie, Esq., would reply to the speech of Mr. E. C. Carrington, deliyered at the Union League Rooms last week, drew together an unasually large crowd at the rooms of the Democratic Association, last night, Before the speaking commenced Mr. J. W. Ciampitt offered resolutions condemning the interference with the serenade at the National Hotel on Monday night, and disclaiming ary intention on the part of members of this Asso- ciation to interfere with free speech. Mr. F. A. Aikin was for free speech as much @s ary man, but the speeches of Lane and Chandler were insults to every freeman. He was opposed to disturbing any, meeting, but the disturbance on Monday night consisted in cheering for McUlellan—he opposed the adop- tion of the resolutions. Mr. Clampitt briefly addressed the associa- tion, condemning the insults of Lane & Co., but insisting that no gathering should in any manner be disturbed in their exercise of free speech. The pearae question was called, and the resolutions were adopted. i" Hon. T. B. Florence having just come in, asked for a reading of the resolutions, and moved a reconsideration of the vote adopting the resolutions, but was declared out of order. Mr. Utermehie then took the stand, and re- viewed Gen. McClellan's mili eareer from the time he assumed commend of the armies, and argued that he could bave erushed the re- bellion but for interference in high places. Mr. U. quoted liberally from McClellan's letters, orders, &c., and held that the Administration had set acide the original intention of the war, and that McOlellan was the true exponent the Union and the Constitution. McClellan’s battles on the Peninsula were highly lauded, and an immense victory was claimed for him ‘at Antietam. Burnside was condemned and Hooker was ridiculed as having crossed the Rappahannock and then crossed back again. The only credit given to any other General was to Meade for buritng Lee back from Pennsyl- vania. ‘Allusions to McOlellan’s war proclivities and hie determination to reconstruct the Union were received in silence; but loud cheers greeted each allusion to the ‘terribly uncon- atitutional’ act of the Administration in ancipation proclamations, admitting W.
