MiltraL How General Sickles Kcgards the Chicago Platform and McClellan. In a letter to rhilajolpbia, Gen. Sick-lef very poiutedly exposes tlie weakness tad wickedness of the copperhead party, ia its present war upon, toe Administration anJ the country. We wish every Democrat would read and digest the following paragraps which we clip from his very able, aud effective lettcT: . It is difficult, to understand why the framcrs ot the Chicago rmtiurui, tlie authors of this reproach upon our uriny and this disparagement of the martial fortitude and resources' of our country, should have chosen a distinguished offi ccr of the army to execute a schome of policy'wkiuh proposes .to subdue armed rebellion by the cessation, of hostilities against it,, and whiuh contemplates, by means oi a Convention ot the states, the reconciliation of enomies who have waged irreconciliablcwar against each other for four years. ' ' Yet inorb difficult it is for me to com prehend, except upon the supposition of an retire change ot opinions, bow it is consistent , with the fame and character of General McClellan to become the ex ponent of a party controlled by Messrs. Vallandigham, Voorhees, Long, Powell, Harris, isiglor, oeyraoui ana ood. .Gen. McClellan urged the President to enforce a. general conscription to fill up our armies. Gov. Seymour denounced Federal conscription as unconstitutional, and characterized a draft as a disastrous drain upon our populotton. ' Geo. Mp-Clellan arrested the Legislature of Mary land to prevent a meditated sot ot treas on. . , Mr. valiandigham denounces all such arrests as violations of private right and dangerous to public liberty. Gen. McClellan attributed his inability . to cross the Potomac and follow up his vio-tory M Antietam to the want of means of transportation and equipment for his army. - Senator Powell boasts that he never has voted, and never will vot, n man or a dollar for the army. Gen. Mo-Clellan declares that he"could not look his gallant comrades in tho face and tell them their labors and i aerifices had been in vain. The Chicago Convention says thoy have been iu vain, and demands aa immediate cessation of hostilities, "oecause the war has been, a failure throughout. ' Gen.'MoClellollan, rising superior 10 the despondencv which followed the Peninsular campaign, recorded this declaration in his celebrated letter of July 7, 18C2, addressed to the President from the camp at Harrison's Landing ; "Tho Constitution and the Union must be preserved, whatever may fee the cost in time, treasure or blood.'V The Chicago Convention denounces the war for the Union as an "experiment that has failed, and prescribes a Convention or "othor peacej able means," as .the limit of further re sistacce to the demands of rebel leaders. SQ, Home! that synonym for the sweetest sanotitiesl how it falls upon the heart of the homeward streaming crowd. That Ttxod boundary of peaoe that society can not encroach upon, where we can look calmly out upon the frowns of the world and our perplexed, spirit find inspiration of strength and space for rest.. . Home! where gentle- memories Meal upon us with shadows of the twilight, and forever tapestry the walls, while the voice of the music ii hushed, and" each soul within' the silent circle calchos nearer glimpse of heaven, a 'dearer .view of sweet forms and faces crone before. Happy are ttos who can turn from . the festive gayetieg oi the : world, and meet outstretched arms and loving heart in whoso affection there is no decay and no deccit--'at home" With eyes of hope and tearful rapture' we look forward to our arrival at home. And when our vital lamp burns low, and the golden bowl began to shudder, aud the silvei cord to nutwino, frt our look be opon the face, we bent love! Oh, let . die at home! Mai. Gb.

Atlanta, Oa., Sept, 26th, 1861.' 'MV Deae Wue :i promisod you in my lnit letter, that I would give you a history of my capture, and prison Hi'o, while in Hood's mess. On the 2 2d of July, about two o'clock, I was "taken iu out of the wet" by tbe Johnny Rebs. Our corps was sent on the extiemo left to build a" fort, tout!- soO-Taftor we-coru-uienced workxthe' Johnnys attacked us in the roar' and flank; We'soon' got ordcrf to fall back. Tho corps scattered in every direction, aljuost, aod I fell in with a detail from ' my regimant, that was throwing up rifle-pit. near, by. . On my way back to the regimont I found four or five of the Pioneer boys, and I stopped with them for the purpose of getting them out of danger. ' At that time tho picket officers rode along and asked me to pilo up qome rails across the road to stop the progress of tho enemy. J sot the boys to work, and by the time I got it completed the rebs had got all around me, and had the D'visiou in, the same fix. I mado several strategetio movements, but failed in every one. I only had one more chance of escapo, and it was a dangerous one. In order to do that I had to. fall back from my present position, and in doing so, the cavalry made a dash and politely invited me to join Hood's mess, with a number ot revolvers drawn on me. . ;(, ',; F.,:. ; '. i I did not stop toarguo the question with them, as I had arms, and they outnumbered me fifty to one. . They soon relieved me of my haversack and canteen, then hastened 'to march mo to the rear, where they had quite a number of our boys. The first one I knew waa Capt. Bostwick. They then took us about seven miles around, and finally got us to Atlanta sometime after dark. Marched us to Hood's headquarters, and two of his imps requested our names, j They, then marched us to East Point, six miles froui" Atlanta, and by that time we were tired enough to lay down on the ground and take -a "short sleep; then daylight came, and "IP got up, shook off the loose dirt, and looked around, i tie boys reminded me of seven or-eight hundred hogs, piled up in a small pon. Well wg staid there one dayn two pights, and they started us for Ander-souvllle.. Wa.J'd-.a. wroh to Griffin, forty-five mil , thore' we took tho cars, ana reached our destination on the; 28th, just before sundown ; and as I marched in at the Large gate, 1 sunk down about five -feet Jen inchea in my shoes, and staid , there, till I marched outi.on. the" 18th of September. , t. ' - . It is called -Camp Sumtsr, enoloscd with largo hewed timbers set endways in the eround. about fifteen lofitliiKh. It contains pome twenty -five acres, aud what is termed a dead line, gome eighteen feet from the stockade which takes up some four acres, and a quagmire in the center of four acres mora, making eight acres, ; this deducted from twenty-five, loaves seventeen acres for 33,000 to camp on. I will explain what 'this dead line was for : 'it was to keep men from the stock-ado. If one of the boys would lean against it the sentinel? would shoot him. They ' itot furloughs ? for evory Yank they killed, in: that way,-not to exoeod thirty days.i Ihardly know how to de. scribe the prison ; the soil is very sandy, and there S not a spear of grae or shade iu tbe prison, and the' most of the boys stripped of their blankets, and the most of them of thoit clothing, and supplied with the rebs old lousy, ragged duda. Hundreds of them come in with nothing to eover their nakedness but an old shirt and pants, when I gay this I mean just what I say,. and nothing else-rand tbey have to lay around iu tho sand and hot snn in the daytime, aad at night lay ex posed to the bleaching dews, and in a few. days thoy have"; to meet their God in'onother and better world., While I4 waa in prison, the. average of deaths was about 135 per day. The first weok in August the loss in deaths was eleven hundred and thirty. What do you think of that?V hm told by a soldier that was": captured at. Chickamanga that one hundred and seventy-five of his regiment wore captured there, and there were only fiftoon of th";m left and another instance whore fifteen wore captund and only throe frft-awful to relate, but ,it is" trutr.
