"No, I do not love another, I nlludod to my
brother." .:<
"Then, Kate, I may hopcj that in time you
will learn to lovo me,"
Kate and Colonel Willis reached the house,
not long before the dinner boll sounded. Kate
pleaded a head-ache, and retired to hci' room.
Mrs. llaymond and the Colonel sat down that day
without Dr. Rutland, lie had gone out ou a
totir.of "iuspoetion," he termed it, and would
ba absent ?ovcral days. The Yankees had car
ried off all of Mrs. Raymond's horses and
mules. Very little was left for them to subsist
On, and the old Doctor had gone out In the
country (walking) to get the necessaries of life.
A belt of country, twenty-five miles iu length,
and only ten in breadth, had not becu raided.
From that source^ L?was to draw supplies,
until the next crop was made; ami it was iu
that scctiou that Dr. Rutland had gone.
Soon after dinner, Mrn. Raymond and Colo
nel Willis wore talking. Suddenly, he came
aud sat.down at her feet, and said, 'Oh! Mrs.
Raymoud, I am so weary of this dull, and care
less world."
"Poor-boy 1 I am sorry for you. What i?
y??r sorrow. Tell mo, I will listen to your
griefs.'*'. ,
Ho laid his head on her-lap, and told her of
his life,?of the many sorrows, that had
clouded it;?and then confessed to her his love
for Kate.
"Does shodovo you in return, Carter ?"
"I do riot know ; but dIi I Mrs^ Raymond,
what is -life to me without her love ? A dreary,
?dork night,~r-a blnuk 1" .
"Carter, Kate is very youug yet. Sbo is
only eighteen, and has seeu but little of thp
world. I know she loves no one else.' The
death of her. brother has cast a dark gloom
over her lifo. Wait for a .year, deiu- friend;
then cotuo to us again. The keen agony of
her -first sorrow will bo soothed by time."
Mrs. Raymond bnd learned to Jove the quiet,
patient man. He ?reminded her a little of her
dead boy. ' In his gentle, deferential manner,

Kate did not come into the parlor, until near
ibja-thuo. For the first timo siuoo Douglass
died, did a smile piny around bor lip. 'Twos
saddened,''tis true, and but a ghost, a shadow
of tho merry laugh, that had formed a part of
Kate's existence. ? A glow lighted up the face
of Colonel Willis. He presaged a --favorable
repjy,?a happy termination of. his love suit.

ens have been touched in like manner : the
dreams of my readers of tho sterner sex have
been as full of joyous anticipations, as were
those of Cnrtor Willis and Kato Ra^Rond.
"Coining ovents" 'tis said "cast their shad
ows beforoj" and so it was with our poor,
crushed nation. The fall of Charleston, Co
lumbia, Wilmington and lastly Richmond,
crushed the brave defenders. A nation of
heroes were reduced to slavery and ruin. And,
ere tho convalescent Colonel thought of turn
ing homeward, there was no more "Confede
rate States." In duo course of time, General
Raymond came home. News from L? had
long before readied him, and he was prepared
to greet the wounded Colonel Willis j but be
was little prepared to receive the tidings Mrs.
Raymond imparted of his love for Kato.
Tho bravo old man gave him a soldier's
greeting, and with it his consent to win his
only child. When, at length,' Carter turned
him homeward, he was soon to return to make
his home among his new-found and loving
friends. His lonely heart was cheered, his
fainting soul rovived. He was to return, nnd
claim the baud of Kate, aud make his home
forever with those, who had been guardian
angels in bis hour of trial, and adversity.

'A" Washington dispatch of Friday night to.
the Raltimorc Sun says :
Well informed gontlemon, just returned
from the White Sulphur Springs make such
statements couccrning the interview of Gen.
ltosecrans and Southern Generals thoro an
pt(t that interview iu a light in which it has
not boon hitherto exhibited. The distinguish
ed Southern gentlemen thoro 'assembled for
health and pleasure only*aud not for any poli
tical purpose, received the General with that
kindness and courtesy duo to a distinguished
oineor, but anticipated no formal conference
upon the political situation, until Geu.Tloso
crans himself began to propound questions
which the parties qnostinncd were compelled
either to answer, or by thoir sileucc to cause,
perhaps, on erroneous impression as to their
views" to get abroad. From tho best sources
of information it appears, however, that those
goutlciuou would have preferred to have dis
cussed almost any subject rather thau that
indicated by Genera' llosecraus. They were
upon neutral ground, for, according to the
legislation of Congress, the State of Virginia
.is not to be permitted to participate in the
presidential election. They felt, too, that
thoir opinions were already woll enough known.
They had kid down their arms and admitted
the ooutjuering power of tho North j they had
fully aceopted tho situation and determined
to follow a path of true allegiance to the Con
stitution of tho United States; they were con
tent to be tho.passive objects which the people
of tho North were to control in their offorts to
orgauhxc the government and put it upon an
enduring basis, and they, therefore, were
reim taut to being drawn from tho rctiroment
they had voluntarily sought and placed pro
minently, aud as central figures in tho contest
now in progress. They had no desire to be
the means, positively or negatively, of ctoating
any new issue in tho campaign, aud We're not
ambitious iu the present emergency of being
the authors of any new plank for eithor the
Southern people or the Democratic party of
the country. They were intelligent gchtle
njou, .who had carefully Tiolod the YtfogrbaVlJF
cVcuW; ato? dlu^ Votfbbl'?^ irtat their ludivT
'-'djual opinions as tn Southern sentimeut aud
Southern probable action, ' t$buld7inl the 'least
affect the1 general result, for they know that
all in tho North who desired to fully under
stand the Southern situation and Southern
people could come to an intelligent conclusion
without their nid, at this timo; and they also
knew well that nothing they could say would
couviuco that class iu tbo North who woro
wilfully blind aud dotenuined to recognize no
truth from the Suuth unloss it emanated from
lladical sources. They had no idea, when
they first freoly gave their views aud opinions
itb. jQqnpral Kq^ccrana in bis Belt-i^ppscd mis
Mod, that what was done would be digutried
by tho name of a lormal couferenco, or that
tho interviews would assume the importance
subsequently given to them by the press and
peoplo throughout country.
? My informant is satisfied that if tho distin
guished Southern gentleman with whom Gen.
Roscerans conferred, had control of the whole
subject, the result of the interviews would not
bo made public at loast for the present. While,
no evil consequences could possibly follow tho
publication, it ib not believed it could be pro
ductive of much good.
In consequence of the prominence given to
the whole subject, howover, it wan concluded
that something should bo said, ar.d honco a
letter was written in reply to one from Gen
oral Kosocraufl embodying views on certain
points, but, it will be seen, avoiding all par
tisan reference. This letter was signed first
by Goucral Lee, und subsequently the other
signatures were appended, as heretofore stated.
The following is tho corrcspoudeucc :
oknkual hosechans' letter.
White Sulphur Springs',
West Virginia, August 2G, 18(58.
OeiicrttJ: Full of solicitude for tho future of
our country, 1 come with my '..cart in my hand
to learn the condition, wishes and intentions of
the peoplo of tho Southern States?especially
to ascertain tbo sentiments of that body of
biavc, energetic rtnd self-sacrificing men who,
after sustaining tho Confederacy for four years,
laid doWn thoir arms and swore allegiance to
Old Government ?f tho United Btntes, whose
trusted and beloved lender you have been.
I 8co':that. interpreting "Stales' rights" to
conflict with nationul unity has produced a
violent reaction against,them, which is'drift
?ing its towards consolidation,aud also, that so
grdaVa country as Tours cvon now js, certainly
ia to bo, must havo Stato governments to at
tend to local 'details, or go farther and fare
'STL "pmfn to uS tit the ^Vest ;nn'<f NoklJ thatl

?tour ^iUuioB, ^largely -incroitBCB tlto; danger ?f
contrjdism, swell-* our national expenditures,
diminishes our productions alid our revenue,
inspires doubts of our political and financial
stability, doprddiat.es the value of our national
botd s-'?nef-currency,- and places the credit of
the richest bolow'that of thc*ponrost"nation in
Christendom.
We know that our currency must-be depre
ciated so long as our bonds, arc bolow par, and
that, therefore, the vast busi no\s and commerce
of tbo country must suffer the terrible evil of
a fltfctuatirjg standard of value until we can
remedy the ovil condition of things at the
South. We also sec other mischief quite pos
sible, if "not probable, to arise, such as from a
failure of crops, a local insurrection, and many
other unforscen contingencies, which limy .still
mord dopreei?to our credit aud currency, pro
voke discontent and disorder tituong our peo
ple, and bring .demagogical agitation, revolu
tion, repudiation, and a thousand unnamed
evils' and villauics upon us. Wo know that
the interests of the people of tho South are for
law aud order, aud that they must share our
fato of good aud ill.
1 believe?ever}- ono I know who reflects be
lieves--?that if the people of the Southern
States could be at pcaco, nnd their energy aud
good will heartily applied to repair tho wastes
of war, renrgauiro their business, set the froed
meu peacefully, prosperously und contentedly
at work, invite capital, enterprise'and labor
from olscwhoro to couto freely amongst tha'w,
they would soon rebuild their ruined fortunes,
multiply many fold of the value of their lauds,
establish public confidence in our puliticnl sta
bility, bring our government bonds to premium,
our currency to a gold standard, aud assure for
themselves aud the whole uatioa a most happy
apd prosperous future.
Seeing this, aud how all just interests eon
cur in tho work, 1 ask the officers and soldiers
who fought.for tho. Union, ask every thinking
mau of the great West and North, why it cau
uot be duup f , . , ,
We arc told, by those who. Jiavc controlled
the government fur the .latt.four years, that
tho people of tho South will not do it. That,
if ever done all, it must be done by tho poor,
sjmplc, uneducated, landless frcedmen,nnd the
^W whites who, against tho public opinion and
sentiment of the intelligent white people, are
willing to attempt to load,:aud make thc:r.?iv<
ing'toflrthese' ignoraut, ibexpurieneed colored
people, mostly men who must be needy adven
turers, or without any of those, attributes on
which reliance for good guidance or govern
ment can be placed. Wo arc tuld that this
kind of government must be continued at the
South until six or eight utilliuus of intelligent,
ouorgetio white pooplc give iuto or move out of
the couutry.
Now, I think, the Union army thinks, and
people of the North and West, I dare say, be
lieve, there mast be, or there ought to be, a
.shorter, Burer way-to got good governuiont.-for
all al the South.. We. kuow. that they who or
ganized and sustained the. Southern Confede
racy for four years against gigantic efforts,
ought to be able to give peace, law, ordei and
protection to the wbolo people of the South.
Thoy havo the interest end the power to em
ploy, protect, cducato aud elevate the poor
froedmcn, nnd to restore themsolves and our
country to all tho blessings of which 1 have
just spoken. The question 1 want ausworod
is?"Are they willing to do it?"
T came down to find out whttt the people of
the South think of this, and to ask you what
the officers and soldiers who served in tho Con
federate army, and the leading people who sus
tained if. think of these tilings'/
I come to ask more. 1 want to n.?k you, in
whoso purity and patriotism 1 hero express un
qualified confidence, and as many grtod men us
yVu can conveniently consult, to say what you
tliink of if; and, also, what you are willing to
do about it V
I want a written expression of views that
can be followed by a concurrence of action. I
waut to know if you and the gentlemen who
will juhl in that written expression, are willing
to pledgo the pooplc of the South to a chival
rous and magnanimous devotion to restoring
neaco and prosperity to our common country.
1 want to carry that pledge high above the
level of party politics, to the lata officers and
soldiers of the Union army, aud to the people
of tin; North and West, and to nsk them to
consider it, and to take the necessary action,
confident that it will meet with a response so
ivnrui. so "Onerous and coiilidini'. thati We shall

(Jen., It. K. LSKj White Sulphur Springs, West

White S?lpueu Springs, Wkst Va.,
August 26, 180S. -> ?
CimeJral:?I have the honor to recoive your
letter of this dote, and in accordance with your
suggestion, Lhavo conferred with a number of
gentlemen from the South in whose judgmout
1 have confided, aud who are well acquainted
with the public sentiment of their respective
States. They have kindly consented to unite
with me in replying to your communication,
and their names will bo found with .my own
appended to this answor.
! With this explanation wo proceed to give to
you a candid statement of what we bclicvo to
bo tho sentiment of tho Southern people id re
gard to the subject,to which you refer,- ..
4 {Whatever opinions may havo prevailed in
the past in regard to African alavory^vof tho
fight of a State to scccdo from tlto' Uuion, we
believe we express tho almost unanimous judg
ment of the Southern people when wo dctdaro
that they conaidor that those questions were
decided by the war, and that it is their inten
tion, in good faith to abide by that decision.
At the closo of the war the Southefh people
laid down their arms and sought to resume
their former relations with tho United States
Government.
Through their State eouvcntlofcs they abol
' ' .1 '.'a-..:...'- ' Ho ft
ished slavery,'ap/} aimijUy.d their ordinaitcijs of
sqecssion, and they returned to their peaceful
piirsuits with a .sincere purposo to i fulfil all
their duties under the constitution' of the
United States, Which thoy had sworu to sup
port. If their action in these particulars had
becu met in a spirit of frankness and cordiality.
w4j believe that ere Ulis old Irritations would
fjiave passed away, nnd the-wounds inflicted by
lipnlcd. As far as wo^nro. advised, the pooplo
'of the South entertain no unfriendly feeling
toward the government of tho United States,
but they complain that their rights under tho
constitution arc withheld from th*niim the ad
mi uistr at ion. thoreof.
The idea that the.Southern people arc hos
tile to the negroes, aud would oppress them if
it wore irt their powor to do so, is entirely uu
founded. They have grown up hi our midst,
and wo have boori" accustomed from ohihlhoud
to look upon them with kindness. Tho change
iti the rolatious ui' tba two.races has wrought
ifa change in our feeling toward, them. They
still constitute the important part of our labor
ing population. Without their labor tho lands
of the South would be comparatively unproduc
tive. Without the employment which Southern
agriculture affords, they would bo destitute of
the means of subsistence, and become paupers,
dependent on public bounty.
Self-interest, ovon if there were uo higher
motive, would therefore prompt tho whites of
the South to extend to tho negroes caro and
protection. The important fact .that the two
races are, under existing circumstances, neces
sary to each other, is gradually bocouiing ap
parent to both ; and we bolicvo that but for
influences exerted to stir up the passions of tho
negroes, the relations of the two races would
soon adjust themselves on a basis of mutual
kindness aud advantage.
It is truo that the people of tho South
together with the people of the North and
West aro, for obvious reasons, opposed to any
system of laws which would place the political
powor of the country iu tho hands of the nogro
race. Hut this opposition springs from no
feeling of.Comity, but from a deep-seated oon
I victioo that at present the negroes havo neither
the intelligence or other qualifications which
i arc necessary to make them safe depositories
of political powers. They would inevitably
become the victims of demagogues, who, lor
selfish-purposes, would mislead thotu to tlto
serious injury of the public.
The groat want of the South is peace. The
peoplo earnestly desire tranqutlity aud the re
storation of the Unio'i Tho-y deprecate dis
