Yoii do not lovo auothor, Kate V "No, I do not love another, I alluded to my brothor." "Then, Kate, I mat/ hope, that in time you ! will learn to lovo me." Kate and Colonel Willis reached the house, not long before the dinner bell sounded. Kate pleaded a hoad-ache, and retired to her room. Mrs. Raymond and the Colonel sat down that day without Dr. Rutland, lie had gone out ou a tour of "inspection," he termed it, and would bo absent soveral days. The Yankees had car ried oil all of Mrs. Raymond's horses and mules. Very little was left for them to subsist on, nnd the old Doctor had gone out iu the country (walking) to get the necessaries of life. A belt of C??ht'ry; twenty-five miles iu length, and only ten in breadth, had not been raided. From that sourccj L? was to draw supplies, until the next crop was made ; aud it was iu that section that Dr. Rutland had gone. Soon after dinner, Mrs. Raymond and Colo nel Willis were talking. Suddenly, he came aud sat down at her feet, and said, -'Oh ! Mrs. Raymond, I am so weary of this dull, and care less world." "jPopr-boy ! I am sorry for you. What ia your sorrow. Tell me, I will listen to your g'icfe.%'.:' . ,.: He 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 shodoTc you in return, Carter ?" t4I do riot know; but oh ! Mrs. Raymond, what is-life to tue without her love ? A dreary, Anrk night,?n blank I" . "Carter, Kate is very young yet. She is ?nly eighteen, and has seen but little of the world. I know slie loves no one else. The death of her brother has cast a dark gloom over her life. Wuit for a .year, dcaj1 friend ; then come to us again. The keen agony of hor first sorrow will be soothed by time." Mrs. Raymond had learned to Jove the quiet, patient man. He 'reminded her a little of her .dead boy.'" In his geritlo, deferential manner, Wa$'4o%gUftticle to hviiid the days of her s?ri's \ HeYlieart ached witlrgricf, as 'shd'lifitcucL to i& sSd itbr^y a Whiir teaching' Vay. Kate did not como into the parlor, until near 'tea-time. For the first timo siuoo Douglass died, did n smile play arouud hor lip. 'Twas saddened, 'tis true, and but a ghost, a shadow I of tho merry laugh, that bad formed a part of Kate's existence. A glow lighted up the face of Colonel Willis. He presaged a favorable reply,-?a happy termination of his love suit. Tl\c cycuing wore nway; and each retired to dream of events past aud to como. Noed wo say that bright-garlanded dreams flit d'oj^ tho lover's couch j uiced we toll you. fair readers, that Kate was angelic iu his dreamland ? No J the hearts of all true maid ens have been touched iu like manner : the dreams of my readers of tho sterner sex have been ns full of joyous anticipations, as were thoso of Cartor Willis and Kate Raymond, j '?Coming events" 'tis said "cast their shad ows before;" 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, crc tho convalescent Colonel thought of turn ing homeward, there was no ft)Ore' "Confede rate States." In duo course of time. Gcnoral Raymond came home. News from L? had long before reached him, and he was prepared to greet the wounded Colonel Willis ; but ho was little prepared to receive the tidings Mrs. Raymond imparted of his love for Kate. The bravo old man gave him a soldier's greeting, and with it his consent to win his only child. When, at length,' Cnrlcr 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 revived. He was to return, nnd claim the hand of Kate, aud make his home forever with those, who had been guardian angels iu his hour of trial, and adversity. My tAory is finished. I trust my readers will consider it no overdrawn picture. Thoso, who encountered Sherman's Jnrmy, can attest Its truth. The vvoult< recorded are facts ns thoy occurred,' und- would* it w6ro' possible to portray tboiu stronger. Tho writer thinks it nbmoro than what is'duo to the rising geuora tion, to record in history, in poesy, und in ro mance, tho events of thoso days, which tried' iho souls of all, and which illustrated tho doplh of that distress, with which an inscrutable Providence, for wise-ends, sometimes visits an unhappy nation. i '' V'A R I Q U Qy.^>. t r The Rosecrans Mission. / THE ConilESVOiNDKNCE in FULL. 'A Washington dispatch of Friday night to the Baltimore Sun says : Well, informed gentlemen, just returned from tho White Sulphur Springs make such statements concerning the interview of Gen. Rosecrans and Southern Generals thero as put that interview iu a light in which it has not been hitherto exhibited. The distinguish ed Southern gentlemen tho re nsscmblcd For health and pleasure only, aud not for* any poli tical purpose, received the General with that kindness aud courtesy due to a distinguished olficor, but anticipated no formal conference upon the political situation, until Gen. Rose crans himself began to propound questions which the parties questioned were compelled either to answer, or by their silence to cause, perhaps, an erroneous impression as to their views to get abroad. From the best sources of information it appears, however, that these geutlcmcu would have preferred to have dis cussed almost any subject rather than that indicated by Genera] Rosccraus. 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 prcsideutial election. They felt, too, that their opinions were already woll enough known. Thoy had laid down thoir arms and admitted the couquoriug powor of tho North ; they had fully accepted tho situation aud determined to follow a path of true allegiance to the Con stitution of the United States; they were con tent to be tho passive objects which the people of tho North wcto to control in their offorts to orgauhce the goverumeut and put it upon an enduring basis, and they, thcreforo, were reluctant to boing drawn from the retirement they had voluntarily sought and placed pro minently, aud as central figures in tho contest now in progress. Thoy had no desire to be the means, positively or negatively, of creating any new issue iu the campaign, aud were not ambitious in 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 gentle men, f who had carefully uotod the progrOsVoF events, aVid did not bcll6ve! that Their TiidtvV r,mkl opinions as to Southern sentiment and c^utimrn probable action,' would In the'loaat affect the general result, for they knew that all in the North who desired to fully under stand the Southern situation and Southern people could come to an intelligent conclusion I without their aid, at this timo; nnd they also knew well that nothing they could say would convince that class in the North who woro 1 wilfully blind aud determined to recognize no truth from the South unloss it otur.nntfi.l from Radical sources. They had uo idea, when they first freely gave their viows aud opinions to Genpral Res^crons in his self-imposed mis. ?ston, that what was dono would be dignified by tho name of a lormal conference, or that the interviews would assume the importance subsequently given to them by the press and peoplo throughout couutry. ? My informant is satisfied that if tho distin guished Southern gentleman with whom Gon. Rosecrans conferred, hnd control of the whole subject, the result of the interviews would not bo made public at least for the present. While no ovil consequences could possibly follow tho publication, it is not believed it could be pro ductive of much good. In consequence of the prominence givon to the whole subject, however, it was concluded that something should be said, ar.d henco u letter was written in reply to one from (Jeu cral Rosecrans, embodying views on Certain points, but, it will be seen, avoiding all par tisan reference. This letter was signed first by General Lee, and subsequently the other signatures wore appended, as heretofore stnecd. The following is the correspondence: GENERAL llOSECRANS* LKTTEIt. White Sulimiur Simuncib, West Virginia, August 20, 1808. Gviuiriil: Full of solicitude for the future of our country, 1 conic with my heart in my hand to learn the Coiiditiou, wishes and intentions of the people of the Southern States?especially to ascertain the sentiments of that bodv of bravo, energetic and self-sacrificing men who, after sustaining the Confederacy for four years, laid doWu their arms and swore allegiance to tho government of tho United States, whoso trusted and beloved lender you have been. I fco'-that- interpreting ''States' rights" to conflict with national unity has produced a vioiout rpnetion against.them, which is^drift ing ds towards consolidation, ami ulso. that so groat ? country as ,ours even now is, certainly 'is to bo, must hnvo Stato governments to at tend to local 'details, or go farther and faro ?tfara^0*'1''4"''* -u"?? y*?w?^?? : ?. .::tjj ?It is plain to ?B at the West Wo^NoklJtbatfi th?'oj?htiWMcctof'fto'm^ Brichs"as has existed for the last tbreo years in ten States of our rUnion, largely 7 increases' thc.dangor of centralism, swells our national expenditures, diminishes our productions niid our revenue, inspires doubts of our political and financial stability, deprooiates the value of our national bonds- rind currency,- ami places the credit of the richest below that of the ponrestnntion in Christendom. We know that our currency must be depre ciated so long as our bonds are bolow par, and thnt, therefore, the vast business and commerce of tho country must suffer tho terrible evil of a fluctuating 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 unforeseen contingencies, which nmy still nioro depreciate our credit and currency, pro voke discontent and disorder among our peo ple, aud bring demagogical agitation, revolu tion, repudiation, aud a thousand unnamed evils and villauies upon as. Wo know that the interests of the people of tho South are for law aud order, and that tliyy must share our fate of good aud ill. 1 believe?every one 1 know who reflects be lieves?that if the people of the Southern Stalos could be at peace, nnd their energy aud good will heartily applied to repair the wastes of war, reorganise their business, set the freed - men peacefully, prosperously and contentedly at work, invite capital, enterprise and labor > from olscwhore to come freely amongst thorn, they would soon rebuild their ruined fortunes, multiply many fold of the value of their lauds, establish public confidence, in our political .-.la bility, bring our government bonds to premium, our currency to a gold standard, aud assure for themselves and the whole uatiou a most happy aud prosperous future. I Seeing this, nnd how all just interests oon ? cur in tho work, I ask tho officers and soldiers who fought for the l.'niou, ask every thinking uiau of the great West and North, why it can uot be doneT * We are told by those who Jiayc controlled the government fur the latt.tbur years, that tho people of the South will not do it. That, if ever done all, it must be done by tho pi>or, simple, uueducatud, landless freed men, nnd the $|w whites who, against the public opinion and sentiment of tho intelligent' white'' people, nro .willing to attempt to lead, and make Uicir>liv? ing off these' ignoraut,-ihexporieuoed--colored people, mostly men who must be needy adven turers, or without uuy of those, attributes on which reliance for good guidauec or govern ment can be placed. We are told that this kiud of government must be continued at the South until six or eight millions of intelligent, encrgetio white people give into or move out of the country. Now, 1 think, the Union army thinks, aud people of the North and West, 1 dare say, be lieve, there mast be, or there ought to be, a shorter,-surer way to got good govorumont.Jbr all'at tho South. We kuow that they who or gnnixed aud sustained thy Southern Confede racy for four years ngaiust gigantic efforts, ought to bo able to give peace, law, ordei nnd protection to tho wholo people of the South. They have the interest end the power to em ploy, protect, educate and elevate tho poor freed men, and to restore themselves and our country to all tho blessings of which 1 have just spoken. Tho question 1 want ausworod is?"Arc they willing to do it?" I came down to find out what 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 it, think of these things? I come to ask more. 1 want to ask you, in wl.oso purity aud patriotism 1 here express un qualified confidence, and as many good men us yVu can conveniently consult, to say what you think of it; and, ulso, what you are willing to do about it?" I want a written expression of views that, can be followed by a concurrence of notion. I want to know if you and the gentlemen who will join in that written expression, nro willing to pledge the poople of the South to a chival rous and magnanimous devotion to restoring peace and prosperity to our common country. 1 want to carry that pledge high above the lovel of party politics, to the lato officers aud soldiers of the Union army, and to the people of the North and West, and to ask them to consider it, and to take tho necessary notion, confident that it will meet with a response so warm, so generous aud coufldiug. that we shall soci In ?b sunshine the rainbow oi p?noo in our political sky, nuw< black with olouds and im-? pehdingjStonu. t . . :x ?.

White SuLi'tikit Si'itiNos, West Va., August 20, 1S08. > ? 1 General:?I have the honor to recoive your letter of this date, and in accorduueo with your suggestion, I have conferred with a number of gentlemen frniu the South in whose judgment 1 have confided, and who are well acquainted with tho public sentiment of their respective States. They have kindly consented to unite with me in replying to your co'mraiinicsiioK and their names will bo found with my own appended to this answer. With this explanation we proceed to give to you a candid statement of what we bclicvo to be the sentiment of the Southern people in re gard to the subject .to which you refer. 'Whatever opinions may have prevailed in the past in regard to African slavery^ 'or tho right of a State to eeccdo from tho Tfnion, we { believe we express tho almost unanimous judg ment of the Southern people when wo declare that they consider that those questions wero docided by the war, aud that it is their inten tion, in good faith to abide by that decision. At the close of the war the Southern people laid down their nrnrs and sought to resume their former relations with the United States Government. Through their State conventions they abol ished slavery, ami annulled their ordinances of secession, and they returned to their peaceful pursuits with a sino;ro purpose to fulfil all their duties under the constitution: of the United States, Which thoy had sworn to sup port. If their action in these particulars had been met in a spirit bf frankness and cordiality, we believe that ere tliis' old irritations would rhavc passed away, and the wounds iuflicte*.-. by tbo^r^o^l^^av^^e^uju. n^^o^t tfj^uift hpuled. As far as wo^rc, advised, the people of the South entertain no" unfriendly feeling toward tho government of the United States, but they couiplaiu that their rights under tho constitution arc withheld from thtmi ia the ad ministration thorcof. The idea that the.Southern people arc hos tile to the negroes, aud would oppress them if it were in their powor to do so, is cutircly un founded. They have grow? up iu our nndrt. and wo have boon accustomed from obihlhood to look upon them with kiuduosB. Tho chaugc in ' ^iM'0 *wovraces has wrought no chaqgc in'our feeling toward, then}. Thc^y still constitute the important part of* our labor ing population. W ithout their labor the lauds of tho South would be comparatively unproduc tive. Without the employment which Southern agriculture affords, they would bo destitute of the means of subsistence, aud become paupers, dependent on public bounty. Soil-interest, oyon if there were uo higher motive, would therefore prompt the whites of the South to extend to the negroes care and protection. The important fact that the two races are-, under existing circumstances, neces sary to each other, is gradually becoming ap parent to both ; and we bclicvo that but for influences exerted to stir up the passions of tho negroes, the relations of tho two races would soon adjust themselves on a basis of mutual kindness aud advantage. It is true that the people of the South together with the people of the North and West are, for obvious reasons, opposed to any system of laws which would place the political powor of the country in the hands of tho uogro race. Hut this opposition .?prings from no feeling of eumity, but from a deep-seated con viction that at present the negroes havo neither the intelligence or other qualifications which arc necessary to make them safe depositories of political powers. They would inevitably become tho victims of demagogues, who, lor selfish purposes, would mislead them to the serious injury of the public. The groat want of the South is peace. The peoplo earnestly desire trnmjuility nnd the ro sioiatioh of the Uuio'i Thoy deprecate di.s Pf der Ini* excUoriient as* ?lac 1 c to thoir prosperity,:: j i/% '? q , They ask a restoration of their rights m??ef thd oonstf^w* JThoy tM? re MJjM ?T prissive mlMo/ ^A^ovo ^Hh^^W^ peil to thoir countrymen-for-the ro-cstafotttV mqnt in the ^Southern jStates of t\\\\ fIfafm* jtujtly boon *o#fdjjl>*fl the bijrthii^^fJGF lAtWionn?the right of self government. $?* ttl h th on a rW hyi* and^wb ?0 ?felj prAmisc on*Dcn ?feo?thorn^evtha* \hly will faithfully e3fcy-*B8i*ol?itutfo* an* laws of the United Statesytroat tho negro with killness,n;id humanity..??d./^V^'V?^>^tv^f? in jumbent mi peaceful citizpnB, h^ftf,^ t?0 constitution of their country.
