THE SITUATION. ‘The news from Atlanta, from both Union and rebel Sources, is bighly interesting, even if it cannot be con- Bidered important. Sberman is determined that bis cam- paigo sball not now be spoiled by meddiers. He has therefore ordered ai! citizens to be removed from his liner, fand long before this they have been sent from Atlanta, bitber North or South. This may be hard upon someof the late residents of that city; but ‘‘military necessity”’ ie Bo respecter of persons, and Sberman’ wants the place for military purposes only. The robels are, however, greatly onraged at Sherman’s conduct. Hood protests against it, but basno remedy.

A serenade to General Hooker, who is at present stop- ping at the Astor House, was intended to be given last evening, and a splendid band appeared in front of the hotel about ten o'clock playiug several patriotic airs which gathered @ large assombiage of people. There were enthusiastic cries of Hooker, but the General was too ill to make his appearance. Governor Curtin, who ts also etopping at the hotel, addressed a body of Pennsyl- ‘vania citizens who sat down to a bounteous supper sup- plied for the occasion. The Grand Jury brought avother batch of indictments into the General Sessions yesterday, and subsequently the prisoners were arraigned and their cases ect down for trial. An additional panel of petty jurors was sworn, there not being a sufficient number in attendance to try the causes on the calendar. Augustus J, Wilson was in- dicted for forgery in the second degree im passing a three dollar counterfeit billion the Bull's Head Bank, New York, at the store of Wm. F. Noiau, 39 Catharine street. It appeared that he only attempted to pass one bil; that no otber counterfeit money was found with him, and that he had served his full term in the army. As mo guilty intent was established, the City Judge dis- chargéd the prisoner. Maria Suilivan, jointly indicted with Joba Mills (who will be tried on Friday), for ing $408 trom Joseph B, Coles on the 6th inst., pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand larceny, and was sent to the Stato Prison for two years. There were five indictments found by the Grand Jury against John and Elizabeth De- Groot, two of which were dispesod of so far as the female prisoner is concerned. It is alleged tbat these parties, who make a respectable appearance, have made a practice of calling at first class houses in the city wich may be ad- vertised for salé or to ict, and while being shown through the apartmonts steal jewelry or whatever portable valu- able property they cao lay their hands upon. The ac- cused parties demanded separate trials, sbe claiming that she ig not the wife of DeGroot, The jury convicted Elizabeth DeGroot of petty larceny, Mre. Aon M. Thomp- son, of 137 Second avenue, swearing that the defendant stole a breastpin from her room on the 26th of June, while looking at apartments. The property was subsequently found at @ store in Broadway. The prisoner. was Placed on trial the second time on a charge of grand lar- ceuy, and convicted, the complainant being Mrs. Bewden, of 50 Fifth street, from. whom sbe, in company with the man ‘stole a valuable gold watch and chain.

The Wood Mozarters, the anti-Wood Mozarters, the McKeonites and one.of the Ger- man delegations thereupon withdrew from the Convention. The other German delegation ro- mained in with Tammany Hall. The with- drawing delegations al! promised to support MoClellan aud the State ticket, and make their fight with Tam many on the local candidates, ex- cept the Wood Mozart delegation, which ignored McClellan and promised nothing. Tammany Hall will now have a very pretty fight upon her hands. Let ber nominate a good, strong ticket, and sbe will win. The hardest fight ougbt to be upon the Congressmen from this city. None of our present representatives ought to be renominated, and, except by some trickery, none of them can be re-elected. The Tammany Congressional ticket ought, there- fore, to be selected with the greatest care, ex- cluding all party hacks. No bargaining should be allowed upon this or any otber part of the ticket. Tammany now has s glorious opportu- nity to redeem berself from ‘all ber past errors; but if she sells this chance for the sake of a little Lemporary expediency she will be totally lost . A Temprst 1x a Tearot.—The peace party are making strenuous efforts to get up another nomination for the Presidency against General McClellan. Ben Wood opposes this idea in bis News; but this may be merely a blind, or a bid for a Conyreesional nomination. Tue ImpeniaL Anisrocracy.—We hope to hear something further from the Chevalier Ray mond in regard to the Legion of Honor, of which he is to be First Pewter Stick In Waiting. We are drifting towards an empire, and must have an aristocracy. If Raymond can originate it be will be entitled to the first cross, the first ribbon and the first bandie to bis name. Issue—The Penney! October iBleetion. As goes Pennsylvania in October so will go the Presidential election of November. We are drawn to this conclusion from the results of the recent State elections, and from all the signs of the times in coanection with some of our most prominent political landmarks of the fast half century. Pennsylvania, from ber ceutral position and her important electoral vote, has always wielded, through her local October election, a potential influence over the Presidential re- sult. For instance, in her October election of 1848 the whig party was successful only by the paltry majority, of some three hundred votes; but it was eo far considered conclusive that, in the next or November national contest, General Taylor carried the State by fifteen thousand, and the Nevember vote in other States was in like manner more or less af- fected. In October, 1852, the democrats car- rie? Pennsylvania by a majority of twenty thousand—a result which was followed in No- vember by the annihilation of the old whig party. Its history as a national onganization ceased with that contest. The opposition elements against the democ- racy were then drawn off between two new parties—a bigoted Know Nothing and a fanati- cal abolition organization. Their common in- terest, however, was the defeat of the demo- cratic party, and by a complete fusion in the Pennsylvania October electioa of 1856 Fre- mont would doubtless have been chosen Presi- dent in November. But the Know Nothing factions were in the market, and the Chevalier Forney, then Chairman of the Pennsylvania Democratic State Central Committee, ia a levy upon the party capitalists of this city, at the New York Hotel, succeeded in raising a fund sufficient to buy up the popular balaace of power from the Pennsylvania Know Notiiogs; and thus, by the scanty popular majority of some two thousand, by which that State was carried in Ootober, from the moral effects of the result throughout the country, Bucuanaa, in November, was elected President. But that October misfortune to Fremont was not altogether due to the New York election- eeriog fund raised by Forney. Mr. W. H, Seward was a lukewarm supporteg of Fremont, and Thurlow Weed was then, as now, the good maa Friday of Seward. They and their confidential retainers permitied Penasyl- vania to be lost from their jealousy of Fre- mont. Two hundred thousand dollars on their side would, doubtless, have overtopped For- ney, defeated Buchanan, and staved off this terrible and disastrous rebellion, notwithstand- ing the threatenings of Heary A. Wise. How now stands the case in Pennsylvania? For ney, Seward and Weed are all on the side of President Lincoln. But Forney is not so en- thusiastic for Lincoln as he was for Buchanan. Seward is occupied at Washington, and Taur- low Weed has dwindled down to a worn out, superanouated lobby jobber, of no further ac- count to any candidate or party. Mr. Bel- mont, then, in Pennsyivania, has a golden opportunity offered him for a splendid financial flank movement against the shoddy republi- cans, looking to the decisive advantage of a democratic victory in the Keystone State in October. We guess that the copperhead peace deserters from the Chicago candidate ean be bought, and that a good lot of the other float- ing elements of Pennsylvania, as usual, are in the market. In any event the issue is not between the platform of the Baltimore Shoddy Convention and that of the Chicago Shent-per-shent Cou- vention; but it is between the two opposing candidates—Lincoln and McClellan. Substan- tially, ia reference to the paramount question ofthe war, they occupy the same ground, and it remaias to be seea whether the democrats, in being restored to their Union and war piat- form of 1862, with McClellan, will be enabied to recover the ground they have since lost. The Pennsylvania October elections will solve this problem. It must be remembered, bow- ever, that in the October election of that State of 1862, which the democrats tarried by three thousand five hundred mojority, there was a deficiency in the popular vote of the State of nearty a bandred thousand, which, being brought out in 1863, gavé Gov. Curtin, repub- lican, a majority of fifteen thousand. This is the majority which the friends of Gen. McClellan will have to overcome in Penn- syivania in October to secure a fair prospect of success in November. There is,- meautime, a fair field in that State for all the spare cash of Mr. Belmont and all the active campaiguers of the Union democracy The McCietian Mecting To-Morrow.: The McClellan meeting ai Union square to- morrow ought to be a magniticent Union de- monstration. All of the various factions of the democracy of this city have united, under the auspices of Tammany Hall, in getting up this meeting, and we shall be surprised if it does not exceed in numbers and enthusiasm any similar demonstration held in this city for along time. There will be flags and banners, torcbes and transparencies, music and fire- works, resolutions and orations, and, in addi- tion to all this paraphernalia of an American mass meeting, we hope that there will be plenty of patriotism, and an carnest, hearty and cordial expression of sympathy with and confi- dence in the glorious cause for which this war was begun and for which it bas been carried on by our soldiers, in spite of the abolition ten- dencies of the administration The platform of this McClellan meeting must be MéClellan’s platform—not tbe Chicago plat form. There must be no prating about peace onaoy terms. The only terms upon which we can accept peace are the sub:nission of traitors in arms and the reconstruction of the Union. The resolutions and the epeeches ought to be and must be very explicit upon this point. Vallandigbam, Singleton, the Abbe McMasters, Ben Wood and the other peace sheep of the demooratic fold have strayed away, and their snapping and snarling outside betray the fact that beneath their sheep's clothing they are in- wardly disunion wolves. There must be no attempt made to coax back these traitors, and no cuddling and comforting of the few peace sheep that remain. McClellan bad no mercy upon them, and the MoOlelian meeting has vo right to misrepresent the opinions of the Gene- ral. This meeting may belp McClellan greatly or it may injure bim fatally. Let his frieads look to it that no wolf in sheep’s ciothing gets upon the stand and makes a speech We suppose that Governor Seymour will de- liver an oration at the McClellan meeting. If be does we expect him to take his stand firmly upon the war platform. The Governor is not wory reliable; but he should understand bis few triumphs jo A distant Iand The Mexica own interests well enough to adopt our Let him not undertake to play the part of Janus, or to begin with peace at Albany and gradually rouse himself toa war fever by the time he gets here, as the mercury rises ina thermometer when plunged in warm water. There is no safety for bis party or himself except upon the McClellan platform—not the Chicago platform. Fernando Wood has signified his in- ention of addressing the meeting. He and bis Brother Ben differ about the expediency of supporting McClellan, and the arrangement probably is that Fernando will go for McClel- Jan and Ben against him, so as to make capital out of both sides. What a pity it is that a third brother does not go into the political nigger business and support Fremont. Fernando Wood ought to understand, before he goes on the platform, that he has no chance for a Congressional nomination, whether he speaks for McClellan or not. This nomination is the probable object of his address, and if he were sure that he could not obtain it we doubt that be would speak. If, in his oration, he at- tempts to prove that McClellan is a copperhead, in order to justify his own course, he should be hissed at once, as he was in Congress, at Chi- cago and at the Albany Convention. Neither Mr. Wood nor any other speaker should be al- lowed to injure the party to serve his own in- terests, and all of them should be strictly ex- amined in regard to their endorsement of Mc- Cletlan’s platform—not the Chicago platform— before receiving permission to address tbe meeting. It migbt not be a bad idea to admin ister the oath of allegiance to such of the orators as are at all doubtful. However, we leave it to McClellan’s friends to devise the means; but we warn them to carefully guard against tricks, equivocationus, ambuscades aad sur- prises. iy Tue Fart. or Attanta.—Our correspondents have furnished us with full and interesting re- ports in detail of the fall of Atlanta. We have already, however, through official despatches and our own telegraphic correspondenoe, given all the essential particulars of the occupation of this rebel stronghold, and are obliged to omit further particulars—including many in- teresting incidents—in order to make room for fresher intelligence, and also to allow space for the overwhelming pressure of advertise- ments upon our columns. We are daily com- pelled to omit interesting matter sufficient to make the fortunes of half a dozen ordinary newspapers. WEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Wasarxaton, Sept. 15, 1864 FINANCIAL MATTERS.

Mortality Among the Union Prisoners ac Andersonvill (From the Augusta Constitutionalist. 1 From a gentieman lately trom’ Andersonville, and who, from bis acquaintauce with the oflicials there, is in a po- sition to speak knowingly, we learn that the etatement of three bundred Yankeos having. died one warm day last month, whica has been going the round of the press, is eorrect, The greatest mortality on any one day has nevor exceeded one bundred and twenty-seven, aud though lo comparison with the statement referred to, this may soem slight loss, 8 few words will show that it is in reality almost appalling. There are iow at Ander: sonville something over thirty thousand prisoners, and at We rate of one hundred and twenty-seven per day the deaths would amount to one in every two hundred and fled ‘seven. Did the same ratio of mortality prevail in Naw York, computing the population of that city at elght hudred thousand, the deaths there would amount up 0 three thousand three hundred aud thirty-six per day— more than six times the real number. The greatest nior- tatity among our prisoners in the North occurred at Al- ton, Ill, where, among seven thousand, the loss was twenty seven per day, or one in every one hundred and eleven. The difference between the mortalities North aud South 1s due, however, less to any diflerence in ra- tious of treatment than to that utter prostration of wind and body which overwhelms the Yankee, but against which the Confederate soldier bears up as bravely as if facivg the bullet and bayonet tn the field.

Ip the basty despatch I forwarded yesterday I'did met Dave time to write out the full details of the rgconnom wance ov the 13th instant. They are essentially as fok lows:— At six o'clock in the morning the First cavalry division had orders to move out, accompaniell by General Gotsy’t division of the Sixth corps. Tbe Second Massachusetts, of tho Resorve brigade, took the advanco, followed by Lieutenant Williston’s battery, which in turn was followed by the Second United States cavalry, while Gevera) Custer’s brigade brought up the rear General Custer was in command of the division, General Merritt boing absent tomporarily. The column followed what is called the Dry Marsh road uvtil our picket lincs were passed, when it etroct across the felds tothe right to the road leading from Summ: Point to Lock’s ford on the Opequan. The columa passed down this road as far as the ford, where a picket force of the enemy were fouud occupying the opposite barks, The rebel pickets immediately opened fre upem us Jo a manner that showed they meant to dispute tha paseage of the slream. A equadron of the Secoud Massa: chuseits was at once dismounted and thrown forward to distodge the rebels, and a sharp skirmish immediately ensued between them. Another mouuted squadron of thé Second Massachusetts, under Lieutenant Thompson, eogp dasbed across the ford. The ‘squadron then divided, am@ ove company, under Lieutenant Thompson, moved op Girectiy in front, abd the other, uuder Lieutenant Crocker, moved off to the Jeft and brought up in the rear of the rebe' * At first tho revets threw down (heir erme in tokea of surrender, but after they saw bow emalla force was ee sailing them they picked up their muskets again aad Degan to tire. Lieutenant Thompson theu charged them with the sabre, driving them back ina perfect pants He followed them up to a high rail fence, which a portiow of them leaped over and made their escape A licutenaat ‘and tev men were captured, one of whom was mortally wounded, A squadron of the Second United States cavalry was sent acrossthe river to support Lieutenant Thompson, but as 00 order was received to push the enemy further they soon withdr®w, After recrossing the ford? two squadrons of the Second Magsachueetis wore dismounted aod placed along the bank, while another squadron was thrown out a little te the right, mounted, The remainder of the regiment, wit the Second United States, was put in support of Willistou’s battery, which was ip position oa the groued in the roar of our dismocnted mép. Ja position we remained ontil dark, skirmishing cone and at tines quite snarply. Williston’s battery was idie during the interim, but be kept abelling the enemy back, anc at times bis fire was quite avimated. It fs understood thet the infantry division was to cross the Opequan at Soaver’s ford, a mile above, and come te behind the rebels and capture the whele ‘force Major Coneral Wrieht was in cxmmand of the infautry, and had it beeo practicable doubtless the feat would bave bees Extensive Fire Manchester, Va.
