He states thas the War Department had been fully advised of his plan, and that it was deliberately formed several days previous to {ta execution. His object was, while making the detour to Jonesborough, to mis- lead the enemy with the belief that the movement wana feint tocoveran attack upon Atlanta from the front; and in this he seems to have been suc- ceastil, This etratagem caused Flood to place only one corps Hardee's, ina position to intercept the main bulk of Sherman's army, and hence followed its diaastrons defeat and the supposed death of ita leader, He states that night alone prevented the capture of Hardee's entire corps.

Tur McCwi.aN Lerrer.—Poliiicians throughout the city yostertay dacimmed the liter that General McClean has aditressed to the Com- mittes of the Chicago Convention, The out-and- ont Union Democrats were jubilant over the docu- ment aut expronsed themsclven perfectiy eutiafied with it, many aaverted thet their prophecies were fulfited ; amd Lisle Mac bad declared in une qitivonal terms his intention ‘to preserve the Union, by fightng for the Union, and nothing else." "A bully beteor’? makd onc enthuatast, “it taken tho pine right from umler Fernandy the Ist, and the Loyal leaguers.” The ‘unconditional peace men’ voted the letter a “bak down"? from the sen- ments expreesed in the Chicago Conven- tion, and some went ao fer aa to declare that they would nominate ar independent thoket; and “go it alone." The radical Republi- cans were mavagely todignant because the Demo- cratic nominees had “ vothing to any" on the “con~ traband topic.” The conservative Republicans de- clared that the sentiments of Mr. McClellan's letter were * patriotic and admirable," but they came too late, inasmuch aa the Chicago Convention had re solved upon @ different programme, Throughout the highways and by-waye of the city, wherever two or three persona were gathered together, when- ever the * political situation ' was canvassed geome allusion was made to * McClellan's Letter '’ —and those words could be heart at almost every turn. In anme inatances, the magic ox- pression, “McClellan's Letter,’ instantly occa. sioned » sharp political discussion, wherein the Democratic candidate was either praised or abused, aceording to the partisan preferences of the persons engaged in the contest, Our indefatigable, who at- tends to the collection of public op:nion, declares that never, during his carcer of over twenty years aa 8 reporter, has hoobwrved aimilar interest manifested by tho people of thie city in anything that pertains t national politics. Mo thinks there is not only more interest, but more bitterness—a bitterness that borders upon absolute ferocity, A strong-minded Demo- erat, when talking to an Abolitionist, seems to be “spoiling fora fight,’ and his radical opponent appears equally belligerent, the two barely pre- vented from committing a breach of the peace, by wholosome fear of that statute law, which forbids eitizens from committing an assault and battery on each other, It in well to remember that these acenes occur only when the more irrascible dispu- tanta have exhausted their respective arguments. Intelligent and law-abiding people, ale though sometimes warmly espousing the cause of their respective candidates, general ly ond the matter by “agreeing to dingrace’’ During the present week our reporter, who has taken ‘notes’ of many impromtu political diacus- sions in different parts of the city, has observed the tenacity with which men of different politica cling to the dogmas of their respective par- ties, even when they honestly admit the forca of their opponente’ arguments, It is also worthy of note how many peoplo declare their intense tions of reading or hearing both sides of the politi- cal queations of the day, as they will be discussed by the organs and orators of all parties during the canvass, It is to be hoped that # major'ty will adopt this course, and thereby vote intelligently when they cast thelr ballots for apy particular cane didate.
