"Then, Kate, I may hopc^ that in time you will learn to lovo me," Kate and Colonel Willis reached tho house, uot long before tho dinner bell sounded. Kate pleaded a hoad-ache, nnd retired to bei' room.

A bolt of country, twenty-five miles iu length, and only ten in breadth, had not been rauht?. From that source, L? was to draw supplies, until the next crop was made; aud it was iu that section that Dr. Rutland bad 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, aud care less world." "Poor-boy ! I am sorry for you. What is your sorrow.

"Coming ovcuU" 'tis said "cast their shad ows beforo;" 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 ho more "Confede rate States." In duo course of time, General Raymond came home. News from L? had long beforo readied him, and he was prepared to greet the wounded Colonel Willis ; but he was little prepared to receive the tidings Mrs. Raymond imparted of his love for Kate. Tho bravo old man gave him a soldier's greeting, and with it his consent to win bis only child. When, at length,' Carter turned bim 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.

A1 'Washington dispatch of Friday night to the Baltimore Sun says : Well informed gentlemen, just returned from the White Sulphur Springs mnkc such statements concerning the interview of Gen. Rosecrans nnd Southern Oencrnls thoro as put that interview iu a light in which it has I not be?n hitherto exhibited. The distinguish ed Southern gentlemen thoro assembled for health an'-r. pleasure only, and not for any poli tical purpose, received the General with that kindness and courtesy duo to a distinguished olhcor, but anticipated no formal conference upon tho political situation, until Gen. llose 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. Prom the best sources of information it appears, however, that tbftsd gcutlciucu would have preferred to have uis cusscd almost any subject rather than that indicated by General llosecrans. They wore 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. Tboy had laid down their arms and admitted the conquering power of the North ; they had fully accepted tho situation and determined to follow a path of true allegiance to the Con stitution of the United States; they were con tent to be' the, passive objects which the people of tho North were to control in their offorts to organ hxo the government aud put it upon an enduring basis, and they, thcreforo, were reluctant to being drawn from the rctiromont they had voluntarily sought and placed pro minently, aud as central'figures in the contest now in progress. They had no desire to be the means, positively or negatively, of croatiug any new issue in tho campaign,-and We're'not ambitious in the present emergency of being the authors of nTiy new plank for eithor the Southern people or the Democratic party of the country. They were intelligent gentlc nion, who had carefully uotod thfc progress of cyen< a'E? dlo* %t%llove* W&tlliew tudivf -Ujual opinions as to Southern sentiment aud Southern probable action,'^bi!d7{h' fhVloaat 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 without their aid, at this timo; and they also kucw well that nothiug they, could say would cpnvinco that class in tho North who woro wilfully blind and dotcrmined to recognize no truth from the South unless it emulated from Radical sources. They had no idea, when they first freely gave their viows and opiuions ftp. G en era! Roseerai^ in his Belfduiposcd mie,-. *s|on, that what was done would be diguified by tho name of a formal conference, or that tho interviews would assume the importance subsequently given to them by the press and people throughout country. ? My informant is satisfied that if tho dintiu guished Southern gentloman with whom Gon. Rosecrans conferred, hnd control of the whole subject, the result of tho 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 consequcu'eo of the prominence given to I the whole subject, however, it was concluded that something should bo said, ar.d honcb a letter was written iu reply to one from Gen eral Rosecrans, embodying views on certain points, but, it will be scon, avoiding all par tisan reference. This letter was signed first by Gcucral Lee, and subsequently tho othor signatures wore appended, as heretofore stated. The following is the correspondence : OXNERAL rosecran8* letter, White Sulphur Springs) A Vest Virginia, August 2d, 18(58. General: Full of solicitude for the future of our country, 1 come with my heart in my baud to learn tho condition, wishes and intentions of the people of tho Southern States?especially to ascertain tho sentiments of that body of brave, energetic And self-sacrificing men who, after sustaining the Confederacy for four years, laid down thoir arms and swore allegiance to thp government of tho United StntcH, whoso trusted nud beloved lender you have been. I Bco:fchnt interpreting ''States' rijdita" to con?iet with national unity has produced a vidlont-reaction against, thepi, which is'drift ing its towards consolidation, nud also,that so gr^at'a country a?

Wo 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 may still mord depreciate our credit nud currency, pro vokc discontent and disorder among oar peo ple, aud bring demagogical agitation, revolu tion, repudiation, aud a thousand unnamed evils and villauics upon us. Wo know<that the interests of the people of tho South aro for law aud order, and that they must share our fato oT. good and ill. 1 believe?every ono I know who reflcets be lieves?that if the people of the Southern States could be at peace, nnd their energy aud good will heartily applied to repair tho wastes of war, reorgauixe their business, set tho frcod meu peacefully, prosperously and contentedly at work, invite capital, enterprise and labor from elsewhere to couic freely amongst thorn, they would soon rebuild thoir ruined fortunes, multiply many fold of the value of their lands, establish public confidence in our political dla biltty^bring our government bonds to premium, our currency to a gold standard, uud assure for themselves n.<d the whole nation ? most happy and prosperous future. Seeing this, nud how all just interests con cur, in tho work, 1 ask the officers and soldiers who fought for the Union, ask every thinking uiau of the groat West uud North; why it can not, be doue-f .. ? i j We arc told by those who have controlled the government for the .latt.t'our years, that tho people of tho South will not do it. That, if ever done all, it mru*t be done by tho poor, simple, uneducated, landless freeduien, and tho 'whites who, against the public Opinion aud seutiment ol tho intelligent white ' people, aro willing to attempt, to lead,:and make tlu-ir liv ing ~ti these ignorant-,- iuexpofienefc4rt&lur&i 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 bo placed. We are told that this kind of government must be continued at the South until six or eight millions of intelligent, cucrgctio white people give iuto or move out of the couutry. Now, 1 think, Uio Union army thicks, and people of the North aud West, 1 dar2 uny, be lieve, there mast be, or there ought to-be, a .shorter,'surer way to get good govorumon^for alliafc tho South. . We. kuow that they who or ganitod and sustained thg Southern Confede racy for four years against gigantic clTcrts, ougbt to bo ablo to give peace, law, ordoi and protection to the whole people of the South. Thoy havo the interest end the power to em-, ploy, protect, educate aud elevate tho poor freedmcn, and to restore thcuiholvca and our Country to all tho blessings of which 1 havo just spoken. The question 1 want auawored is?"Arc thoy willing to do it ?" I came down to find out what tho poople of the South think of this, and to ask you what the officers and soldiers who served in tho Con federate army, aud the lending people who sus tained it. think of these things? I come to ask more. I want to ask you, in wl ose purity and patriotism I here express un qualified enn'idenct, and as many good men as y*ou can conveniently consult, to say what you think of it; and, also, what you aro willing to do about it 1"' I want a written expression of view! that can bo followed by a concurrence of action. 1 want to know if you and the gentlemen who will join in that written expression, aro willing to pledgo the poople of the South to a chival rous and magnanimous devotion to restoring potted and prosperity to our common country. 1 want to carry that pledge high above the lovul of party polities, to the Into officora and soldiers of the Union army, and to the people of the North and West, and to ask (ltotlt to consider it-, and to take the necessary action, ! confident that it will meet with a response so ' >varm. so ?roncrous aud cOU?diug, that toe shall eed in Ub Bunslfiuc the rainbow oi p&ioo in our political sky, now; black with cloudy and iiu-? pondingTstoriu. , , ... ; . ;; ...

Vcrytruly yc-ur friend, ' I '"' 'l " ' m! W. S. UOSEC11A-N& m Gen., \l. K. Lkk, White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. r White Sulmiek Springs, Wkst Va., August 2G, 18(58. i 1 General:?I have the honor to recoiveyour letter of this date, and in accordanco with your suggestion, 1 have conferred with a number of gentlemen from the South in whose judguiout 1 have confided, aud who are well acquainted with tho public sentiment of their respective States. They have kindly consented to unite with nie in replying to your communication, and their names will bo found with .my own appended to this answer. With this explanation wo proceed to give to you a candid statement of what wc bclicvo to bo the sentiment of the Southern people id re gard to the subject,to which 70U refer. .. {Whatever opinions may havo prevailed in the past in regard to A^frlcau slayory^ ^or tho right of a State to scccdo from tho' Union, we believe we express tho almost unanimous judg ment of the Southern people "when wo dctdare that they cousidor that those questions were decided by the war, nnd that it is their inten tion, in good faith to abide by that decision. At tbc cloao of the war the Southern people laid down their arms and sought to resume their former relations with the United States Government. ? ?. Through their State conventions they abol ished slavery,'and i>ni?ullc.d their ordinances of secession, and they returned to their peaceful pursuits with a sincero purposo to. fulfil all their duties under the constitution' of the United States, which thoy had sworu to sup port. If thoir RCtion in these"particulars had been met in a spirit of frankness and cordiality, wc believe that ere this old irritatious would 'have passed away, and the-wounds inflicted by j nualcd. As far as wo^a^e.a^y.iscd, the pooplo I of the South entertain no no friendly feeling toward tho government of the United States, but they complain that their right* under the constitution arc withheld from them in the ad ministration- thereof. The idea that the.Southern people arc hos tile to the negroes, aud would oppress them if it were in their powor U) do so, is cutircly un founded. They havo growii up iu our midst, and wo have be'oif accustomed from obildhood to look upon them with kindness. Tho change 'n f^fii^^^l^t^i!^ two^raccs has wrought 110 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 tho means of subsistence, and become paupers, dependent 011 public bounty. Solf-tntcrost, ovon if thoro were uo higher motive, would therefore prompt tho whites of the South to extend to tho negroes caro and proton.!ion. The important fact that tho two races are, under existing circumstances, neces sary to each other, is gradually bccouiing ap parent to both ; und we believe that but for influences exerted to stir up the passions of the negroes, the relations of the two races would soon adjust themselves on a basis of mutual kindness and advantage. It is truo that tho people of tho South together with the popple of the North and West aro, for obvious reasons, opposed to any system of laws which would placo tho political powor of the country iu tho hands of the tiogro raoo. Hut this opposition springs from .110 fooling of outuity, but from a deep-seated con viction that at present tho negroes havo neither the intelligence or other qualifications which j arc uecossr.r) to make (.hem safe depositories of political powers. They would inevitably become the victims of demagogues, who, lor selfish-purposes, would mislead thorn to tho I serious injury of the public. The groat want of the South is peace.
