^[?r^cr Willis soon saw Kate coining up the

?they scampered away, going home across the
fields.

was deep and low, and his oyes had n strange

a%fihly itfah,-^como to his heart, and chnsc
a^v-ay the dark shadows that rest thore." His
voice sounded low, and ho pleaded with deep
c?rncsinosH. "Mine has been ? lifo of sorrow ;

and my gentle, loving sistor, passed away in

"dPlia ?gKt?? my lifo WasfOddfanly put out, arid
-I was left to mourn, and grope iu darkness."
"Qh ! Kate, do not tell mo that you love
another. I can not give up all hope. I will
servo, like Jacob of old, glad to be near tho
idol of my dreams, the guiding star of my
life. 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

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

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.

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 ?.
I know you aro a representative man in rev
erence and regard for the Union, the constitu
tion and the welfare Of the country, and' that
wljat you would say would be endorsed by nino-;.

(!en. 11. K. Lkk, White Sulphur Springs, West
A' irginia.
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
