Lhi Baltimore <S"un says: '*' Well informed ge'ntlcmoh, just returned from the'White Sulphur Springs mnk? such statements concerning the intorviow of Gen. Rosccrans' ntid Southern' Gener&lB tlioro as put that interview in a light in which it has: not boon hitherto exhibited. Tho distinguish ed Southern gentlemen thoro 'assembled for health'ahd pleasure only, aud not for any poli tical purpose, received the General with that kindness' and Courtesy due to a distinguished officer, but anticipated no formal conference upon the political situation, until Go?. Roso-' crons himself began to propound questions which the parties questioned "were compelled Cither to answer, or by thoir silcucc to cause, pqrhaps, an erroneous impression as to their views' to got abroad. From the best sources of informntiou it appears, however, that these gentlemen would h?vo preferred to have dis ousscd almost any subject rather tlian that indicated by General Rosccrans. They wcro upon neutral ground, for, according to'the' legislation of Congress, tho Stato of Virgiuia is not to be permitted to participate in the presidentiul election. They felt, too,* that their opinions were already well enough known. Thby had laid down thoir arms and admitted the conquering, power 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; thoy wero con tent to bo tho,passive objects which the people of the North wcto to control in their efforts to orgauhte the government' and put it upon an enduring basis, and they, therefore', were reluctant to being drawn from the retirement they had voluntarily sought and placed pro minently, aud as central'figures in the contest now in progress. Thoy had no desire tb be the moan's, positively'or negatively, of creating any new issue in'tho campaign, aud we're not ambitious . in the present emergency1 of being the authors of any new plank for eithortho Southern peoplo or the Democratic party of ic country. They wore intelligent gentlc lal opinions as to Southorn sentiment and Southern probablo aotio^w^WoTW frhj^?ast 'nfreei>'th^e:go'aerlil,''rns?Ul for thoy know that all in tho North who desired to fully under stand the Southorn situation nnd Southern people could come to an intelligent conclusion Without their aid, at this time; and thoy also knew well that nothing thoy.could say would convinco that class in tho. North who wore wilfully blind.aud determined to recognize no truth from the South.unless it emr.nated from Radical sources. Thoy bad no idoa, whon thoyn first freoly gave thbir viows aud opinions 's|opr:>tha^., what, was dono would bq.digumcd by tho name of a formal conference, or, that the ;interviews would assume the importance subsequently given to them by the press and peoplo throughout country. ? My. informant is satisflod that if the distin guished Southorn gcntloman with whom Gon. Rosccrans coufcrred, bad control of tho whole subjoet, the result of tbo interviews would not bo made public at least for the present. While no evil consequences could possibly follow tho publication, it is not believed it could be pro ductive ?f much good. In consequence of tho prominonco given to the whdle subject, howover, it was concluded that something should bo said, ar.d honctf a letter was1 written in reply to ono from Gen eral Rosccrans, embodying views on certain points, but, it will be soon, avoiding all par tisan roforeucc. This lettor was signed first by General Lee, and subsequently tho othor signatures woro. appended, as berotoforo stated.

[With this explanation wo proceed to give to you a candid statement of what wo belicvo to be tho sentiment of the Southern "people iu re gard to tho subject .to which 70U .refer.-.-w: -. A {Whatever opinions may Irnvo prevailed in thjc past in regard la 'African; siavoyy^ofjlho fight of a Stato to Bccodb from th?' union, we believe we express tho aliuoat unanimous judg ment of the Southern people when wb declare that they couaidor that those riuestioria were decided by the war, and that it is their inten tion, in good f?ith:ro abide by that decision. At tho eloao of the war the Sduthufif jpcjppl* laid down their arms rod sought to resume tlieir former relations with thb United States Government. '?? l.S j Through tl&jj? ^?t^o^?n^o^'^i jtsiied slavery, ajui ^tpv^l^l tho^^pr^inanc^s of Secession, and they returned to their peaceful pursuits with a .sincere purpose to fulfil all tlieir duties uuder thd -cohstttutibn5' of the United States, Vhteh thoy had swor'u to 'sup port. If thoir action in these'particulars had been met in a spirit offraukness and cordiality, j wto believe that ere litis0 bid Hrmattous would ?have passed away, and the wounds inflicted by Jipalcd. As far as wo^0gj^j^'t'ca>i tH0 paopnV *ot the South entertaiu no unfriendly feeling toward tho government of tho United States, rbjut they complain that their right* under the constitution.are withhold from them in the ad ministration-thoreof. . / ? 1:1 H'S.Qi /?..-... ? ' ?*. J?BtUIsU h-.-.-.d-- i Tbo idea that tho.Southern vmoph? are hos tile to the negroes, add would oppress them if it v/ere it! tnclr power'to do so, is cutirely un*-u founded. They havo gr?w? up in Our -nVtistV alid we have been accustomed from child hood to look upon them with kindness. Tho change Uite^t^^^ty^ccii has wrought ito.chnqgc iu ourfccjmg toward, them. Thcj?

Without the employment which Southern agriculture affords, they would bo destitute of tho means of subsistence, aud bocouio paupors, depend,out on public'bounty. * t ? 0*tJ;l^JO^.t OfH ifjrjl '"? , * j Sulf-iutercBt, ovon if thero wore no higher motive, would.theroforo prompt tho whites yl tho South to extend to tho negroes caro and, protootion. The important fact ttl\at the, Jtwo races are, uuder existing circumstances, neces sary to each other, is gradually bocoming ap parent to both ; and we bolievo that but for influences exerted to stir up the passions of the negroes, the relations of tho two races would soon adjust themselves on a basis of mutual kindness uud advantage. It is truo that tho people of tbo South together wjth tho pooplo of the North and West aro, for obvious reasons, opposod to auy. system of laws which would place the political power of the coyptry iu tho hands of tho negro raco. Hut this opposition springs .front^no, feeling of enmity, but from a dcop-acatcd con viction that at present the negroes havo neither the intalligenco or other qualifications which ] are necessary to mnko thorn safe depositories of political powers. They would inevitably become tho victims of. dcmi.trogucs, who, lor selfish-purposes, would mislead thom to tho serious injury of the public. Tho groat want of tho South is pc?eo.
