I'EACE DEMOCRATS ABOLITIONIZED, Wonderful as it mny uppcur it in never-thcluK true, tbut a large portion of the Pence party have been converted iuto war democrats, and many of them even into abolitionists. This wouderful revolution litis Icen brought ubout within a few months lv Gcu. McClellan, who not liking the Chicago platform, as construed by the friends of his colleague, Mr." Pendleton, the candidate for Vice President, established a platform of his own, which he promulgated in his letter of acceptance.

The result was a regular rumpus among the faithful, headed by "Wood, Vallandigham who were opposed to the war under any circumstances. Such, iudecd-, appeared to be (he almost universal sentiment among thcjleaders and the newspapers in this and the neighboring counties without scarcely a singlo exception. Their landing motto was "War is disunion," a misapplied quotation from tho lamented Douglass. Hut Vailandigham, Wood and the rest of the unconditional peace party hare been silenced, and Pendleton himself dare not open his mouth. As in evidence of what we assert we quote the following extract from a letter of Gen.

McClcrnand a leading war democrat of Illinois, and now an able General in the army, which is extensively copied in the McClcllnn papers. It was a reply to a letter of invitation from a Democratic Committee, and they adopt the General's language with approval and as part of their political creed. He is for "preserving the Union at all hazards, ecen if Hood thouldjlotc, I ream it expended and Slavery BWEn away. The following is the extract "As to my choice for President, I am for George B. McCIellan; how, indeed, could I be otherwise lie is a life long Democrat am I.

Ho is a War Democrat, and would continue the use of force as long as necessary to put down the rebellion so would I. Like Jackson, he, would preserve the Union at all hazards, even if blood should How, treasure be expended, uud slavery swept away so would Now this is good Union doctrine, such as President Lincoln and his friends proclaim every day, and for which the Peace Democrats have heretofore constantly abused him him and his administration. Strange as it may appear, they are willing, not only to shed blood, and expend treasure, but even to abolish slavery. Will Mr. Pendleton subscribe to that doctrine.

We will wager a new suit that he will never do any such thing. tW In Pennsylvania the home vote is so cloaa that it will require the official returns to determine how the State has gouD. The Soldiers' vote already received shows, however, that the majority, when all the returns hhiiU have been received, will not fall below 15,000 in the State. Besides, we have gained three members of Congrfts, and elected a majority of both branches of the Legislature, on the home vote, and tho indications are that the soldiers' vote will give ua two more member? of Congress. In Ohio, the latest returns show that the Union men have carried the State by about 33,000 ou the home vote.

The soldiers' vote will probably increase it to 85,000. Seven, teen Union Congressmen are elected to 2 Peace democrats. (The delegation in the present Congress stands 14 Cops to 5 Union men. The-notorious Cox and Long, numbers of tho present Congress, have both been defeated. The most gratifying result of ail is that in Indiana.

The copperheads carried the State last year by 13,000 or 20,000 majority, and our friends everywhere were disposed to concede the State to them again. But we have been agreeably disappointed, and the result is thus summed up by Gov. Morton himself in a dispatch to Gov. Curtin, on Saturday last, which wc copy from the Hur-rikburg Telegraph IxniASAPOLjs, Oct 15. Got.

A. O. Curtin We have eight mem-Iwrs of Congress, being a gain of four. Lower House of Legislature is decidedly Union. Tho Senate a tie, or probably Du-moertitic by one or two members.

It a bold charge with tho so called Democratic leaders during the progress of tho political campaign in which tho people arc now involved, to assert that tho war is unjust, that tho sacrifice is too great, and that peace must be had on any terms.

But who began the war Can or will these lea. ders answer this question they are hesitating let us ask the people to ponder these facts livery State which seceded from tho Union, was governed at the time by representatives of the Democratic party in tho Executive and legislative Departments thereof. Tho first gun ever fired at the flag of the United State's, by an insurgent enemy, was from men professedly Democratic, holding position in tho Military Department of the Federal Union, and at tho time under the protection of a Democratic Administration The slaveholders' rebellion was armed by a Democratic Secretary of War. The vessels to servo as piratical cruisers lor a Southern Confederacy wero turnished by a Democrat ie Secretary of tho Navy. A Democratic President confessed, when armed rebellion was precipitated, that he had no power to quell insurrection or coerce a seceding State.

We sometimes amuse ourselves iu looking over the "Age," the "Patriot and anil other papers of Butternut propensities. It is wonderful how much of the marvellous they serve up to their readers.

We know that rabid partisan papers of all classes often deal in extravagancies but a regular Butternut organ presumes amazingly upon the capacity or its readers, in swallowing the wonderful and and marvellous. It is not surprising, that a platform that favors both peace and war, should bo looked upon as nothing remarka-blo by such persons.

Democrats whose Democracy has stood the test of experience, such as Holt, Dickinson, Grant, Sherman, Rosecrans, Meagher, show that one-half of the war is carried on by the ablest men of the old Democratic party. Aud these men support President Lincoln as tho only mau who can under the circumstance bring about a speedy peace.

Ppociid Corrcdpondrnoa of Tho CliU(fo Tribune. Nashville, Oct. 7, 1804. I this morning met an old acquaintance, the Hon. Josi phua Cays.

Clcuk ol the Geor gia Houho of Representatives, and late edi tor ot The AUunta iiegitter, and still later of The Georgia Timet. He has always beeu nn opponent ofthe Jeff Davis administration and in favor of a reconstruction, or rather tho restoration of the Union, but he dare not avow his sentiments. On the captnre of Atlanta ho wrote an article, and published it in his paper, The Georgia 7'itnet, in favor of a return to thu Union, and there- suit was that Jell Davis issued an order for his immediate arrest; but he escaped to our lines, and is goinn to Illinois. He states that to-day, threo-fourths of the pcoplo arc in lavor ol an immediate return to tho Union; but they daro not speak out, as their lives would pay tho forfeit if they did. There is no such thing as freedom of speech in Dixie; "tho government of Jeff Davis is tho worst despotism on earth," are uis very worus.

Mr. Cays hns had an opportunity to un der6tand the motives of the Rebel leaders; hi' declares upon his own personal knowl edge that their object in entering in this Rebellion was to establish an Aristocracy. The wealthy people of the South believe it degrading to them to associate with the mud-sills of the North; and they determined to form au oligarchy, which will place them above the masses ol tnc people. As Clerk of tho Georgia Tlouso of Repre sentatives, ho is familiar with the views of both houses arc in favor of a return to the Union a portion from principal, and the remainder becauso they have lost all hope IIo states that the leaders only keep the army together by promising that if McClel Ian is elected Vailandigham will be his Sec retary of State, and then South will be given its independence. Gov.

Brown is for reconstruction or re storation. Mr. Cays avers, ho had, four weeks since, a 4ong conversation with hun on the subject, and knows of what he spealrs. He knows, also, that tlio Governor has lost ull hope of establishing the independence of the Conteileracv, uud that ho is anxious lor a return to the t'uiun nt the praeti cable period. 1 nsKecl: "Suppose when Kichmoml is taken tho President shall issue an Amnesty embracing ull except a few of tho leaders say a score and proposes at the same time that the question of Slavery shall be left to the Supreme Court to decide who are freed by thu action of the war-aud who are not what will bo the result?" His answer was: "They will accept it willingly." a i men asKea mm wiiat would bo tuo re suit of an honest decisiou as to thu subject so lar as tnc negro was concerned.

"Those slaves who have availed themselves of tho Emancipation Proclamation and sought the protection ofthe army ill bo free: those who have not, will be held as slaves; about half will thus be emancipated. iiut it muiicrs not wno win uc lett, in am very, tho negroes are so demoralized and so inspired with the desire of freedom, that the institution would bo worthless-it could never be resurrected." Mr. Cays will go to Illinois, bearing a let ter ol introduction to Uov. 1 aU-s. He savs the Rebellion can't survive thu re-election of Mr.

Lincoln, and could not survive the election of anv man who would be truo to the Union, llo asserts that Gen.

A gentlemuu who left Winchester on Saturday last reports a good deal of skirmishing with guerrillas iu the Shenaudoah Valley. Nothing serious, however, had occurred, and the supply trains were moving regularly, uuder strong escorts. Ou Friday last our pickets at Martinsburg were driven in by a guerrilla force. On Thursday last eleven guns, captured from the rebels by Sheridan, arrived at Winchester, and on Friday two more came in. They were formerly United States guns, and were probubly obtained ut tho time of the seizure of the arsenals, forts, Scc, by the rebels.

Sheridan was sending in largo droves of capiureti oxen and sheep. The destruction of mills, bams, was going on, so that the rebels will no longer bo able to maintain themselves iu tho Shenandoah Valley.
