Friknd-:?The pleasing re He el ion of ths sympathy shown ma when I last met. you at Qalloua, III., in 18b'S prompt* tiie to address you this note I steby the associated press dispatches hat you have in contemplation a tour over the Southern States. Having traveled in the South for the lust few months and knowing the feelings of the Southern people towards you as the Phicl Kxcc-utive of this nation, 1 can ilsstllC you tint a cor lial roceptinti aw tit ' \ou iiiid that your presence her.: will : h. vc a beurtb'iul effect tow ir is roeouui ling the prejudices which h >s been rn j geudend duiing the war. 1 have dur ilig my J rcM'lit tour, made a jireit tunn> appointment j to address ih<! people of of this .-eet ion on my principles of Truth and l'x <-on<-ill.itinu, but re Using thai views which do jus'ice to the motives and |atriotisui uf the Southern people (nijst resist the general prejudice* of the North I prefer to more fully explain the n there before 1 ask u full recognition by the 1'iiss of the 8wUth. T i Southern pct<i>le have truly been misunderstood in the late conflict and they cannot be re cnjuil?-d whilst their true motives ire spurned with contempt, their patriotUui dir regarded and their gallant dead riu in dishonored gravis. Th'-y accej t, phtlosphically, th ? si ui tion in which the furtum es of war hive placed them, and entertain no id .-1 of contending for what they sincerely thought was ri^ht. They have beeil | lecoiisiructed from a basis of preju dice, they should uow be reconciled by the iufluence of Truth. Their views of right must be held sacred, or a union of feeling cannot be effected The triumph of the Federal Aliliy over the Confrder ate Army established uo principal of Truth. The soldiers of both armies were lighting for ashington's princi pies, as pure pntriuta with a totul dis regard of each other's Maud point, ilene they will have to change stand points, and come to the truthful conclusion that they were both right, the way they viewed it wrong. Aud on no othnr ba-is can a reconciliation uow he effected but that of equal honor und glory meted out to- Federal and Con federate alike. Had the Confederate army triumphed over the Federal, (which would have been cer tain had they he'd thtf resources of the latter,) the North would not have chaiig cdand would have thought any less of their noble deud, and you aud the gal lant Comuuder of that urmy. would have coutendent for the sincerity of your principles the sumc us the S >uth do uow for their Lost Cause. The act of secession placed you in the Presidential chair j without it, you would now be sti humble citizen in the private walks uf life. 1 sincerely trust you will, in this hour of your triumph and exultation", fee! toward the South as the lamented President Lincoln did : "with charity for all aud malice, for nono." Without secession three millions of blacks would now bo slaves, and by the sanction of a government which neither thought of their abolition on philosopbj ral principles, that of purchase, but held tho union of the States, with slavery recognized ss a constitutional right paramount to their liborty Their freed on wus thus compromised, and they have achieved it by the blood of both armies, hence their sympathies must be equal in respect to the dead who fell as martyrs to a principle of a mis understanding by which they became free. I have tried fur the last twelve ! years to take a philosophical view of tho struggle, ari l I trust you v?ill, be next December, recommend such mensures to Congress that will secure the same pension* to the Confederate soldiers as is now awarded to the Pedcarl, and as Time alone fully lift.i the veil of pre judice which has enshrouded the South, at the close of your second term as Ctiief Executive uf the natiou, I think it w<>uld be philanthropic for you to say to the impoverished Southern people, you deserve pay or a portion, at le:>st, if not all, of our slaves, which they would uow held had they listened to the demands of the North. However great thi? may resist the prejudices uf the Northern people at present, I truly deem it a truthful and unprejudiced v-irw of the claims of the South, and stand ready to assume nil the respoosibi lity ol prejudice which it may engender by self martyrdom losing truth for truth Rake. No noe can imiinagine without seeing the poverty of n great portion of the Southern people, truily thousand* once wealthy are uow penni less, and the kiudncs and generosity ol the great mass uf the people of the Southern States is only equaled by the heroic fortitudaFsnd energy which they display in rebuilding their desolated country luid waste by war, the battles having mostly heco f.-ugllt on Southern soil. Thousands of old grey headed men can here be seen, men with their forms bending to the tomb, that could once command their thousand*ofd -liars, with now scarcely the necessary mean* for ? sc.wty Kubhihti iieo nnd iu llti Mrurgle lor conMitutionul liberty it ahould he lemcmb* rod dittiuctlv, ihnt the South did only what the North would have dune had they been similar ly s.ttiat -d.

Let the p.ist be buried in tiblivion, ard let disinterested truth be the b isis fr< ni which all should now uuluily reason* The South litis been impoverished and the North enriched j by this war. Honor and patriotism is all the South have 1< ft. and ibis should he held sacred. Tru.sting you will not postpone you int tided visit J ami that I v. ill have the plea: ure uf teeing you before 1 gr> North, 1 with p'< a-uie Mih-ci ibe lliyscll your true friend for the Cause of Truth and Reconciliation "J. N." McCutclicnville, Wyondo Co., Ohio To His Kxcelluucy, President Uran:. THE tSACIIKJt'8 SECRET. 'Depone you miserable little beggnr, and never dare to hIiow your face here again, or 1 will kick you out of doors,' and Doctor Skinner rose, as it to put his threat into execution. The b >y whom ho h id aildressed re treat d before the great, burly man, though his blank eyes flashed vindictive fire?his little hands were clenched, hi* dark face flushed, and his whole munuer told plainly that he wanted the strength, and not the will to, retaliate. And oneo out of the house of the physician he threw himself down Ucneith the firs i sheltering tree nud brooded over his wrongs. The Doctor roturned with an angry fucc indoors, flung himself savagely in his arm chair and gave passionate and audiblo ulternuoo to his thoughts : 'The young scamp, to k ;ep coming here day after day. Somothi-ig mint he done to quiet his tongue, or at Inat it may raise a wnt-p's nest over my cars, and I tdn II not escape without a sting, lie knows too much, and lucky for me that he in only a child. Yes, something must he done; and the aooner the butter. Eel me see. Ho hus uo relatives to be in quiring into the matter and if he should fail to turn up some day, then will be no hue aud cry. Lot mo seo. If his body was found in the river uo unc could suy that he had not been acci dentally/ drowned, even if thoy took sufficient intercut for that, which is doubtful. Then the law and its officers: are very lax on the frontier, aud?but good bcaveu ! 1 am thinking of mur dor !' sid he started at the sound uf die word, although it wrs uttered by his own lips. But nerving himself from a bottle that stood near, be continued : Ml i his father did di?, nothing can be siid | about it. Sucb things huppen in tIt? practico of every one of my precession, and if lie chose to leave me bis h?ir, thut was his own business. The*fact is, the brat was ajwnys a curre to him, and he will be to me, unless I can j$et him out of the way. Let rue see.' While he was pondering thus (ho boy wa? thinking of the same subject but in a very difierent strain. YourJg ss he was he became satisfied at the death of his fnthcr that he had not been fairly dealt with, hut could prove ffpthing. Doctor Monroe Skinner was the only physician ol any note in that part of the country. His word was low in all questions of medicine, and it would j hare boon a bold man indeed, who I would have d trcd to accuse him of mal pructioe. Hut, had such a charge been made, h'-w could it have beon proven ? There was no chemist to analyze the contents of the stomach of tub dead man ? no ono sufficiently skilled in pnison to t'pply the proper tests, ^ml the standing of the doctor would have out weighed a score of witnesses beforo the uneducated juries common upon the frontier at that tiiuo. Hut the pour orphan boy bad bis own opinion of the matter. He rememborud the lust and fatal sickness of his father ?his last kind words?the teoderuess with which he had always In on treated and hu could not understand why he should havo been left a beggar. Perhaps others thought the same, but ; duty were wise in uot expressing it, and uiiiking an enemy of the nahob of the IV> titier village. They knew little id the (iiial hickness of John Muuuiug. He hud nud suddenly, with no one save bis only sou and the physician, and the account the hitter had given of it could not well ELc questioned. But he was a I rich man ? thut is, he was the owner tf ! many a.-re? of wild laud that Would I lapidly increase in price, am' .wise:: it was louud that he bud will d i**j?*ll to j Muoitn. Mlntfcf; thT^h"3f7fc thciflfeatts" doubtfully. However, there were nouo j to look after the interests of or faxe the j part of ihu boy, arid he drifted from j place to place, though often visiting the j doctor nt'd cudcavcring to obtiiti what ? I Im ?rtiily believed was his right. But ngniu and ngain he hud 'eon re- i pulsed, eveu though the phyriciati made ,i grout sliiiw of tenderuu-s 'u hiui in [tub.ic, talking loiidiy of what he iu Ictided to do. and never doing it ; pro- j fearing to pity a..d at :h.' same time cursing?llayiug the saiut aud ?viug the sinner?vaunting his liberality and j keeping his pockets closed, and at last j resolving to remove the boy from bis J I path, though shuddering at even the j name minder like one who ha 1 already ' lasted of the bloody cup. If he hud done so it could ncv<*r he I proved upon earth?no, uot until h:s trembling soul awaited judgment bciore s higher ti ibunal. I Rising from his chair?taking another draught of his favorite pre script ion ^fi-r himself !j?Monroe Skin ner walked to the window and grew still ' moie angry, as his eyes rested upon the j pallid face of the boy, who was still lying at a little distance, with his head . resting against the trunk of a tree. Kcpcntiug his favorite expression, he I retreated beyond the eves of the boy, ' that even ippeartJ to him to be reading j his guilty soul, communed with hiiusell fur a long time, and then finding th it John Manning (he bore the same name us his dead father) had dtsappea ed. he started forth, mounted his horse, and rode out of town, ^wit 1? his customary dignified bearing and not to bo read luce, wheu ho choose to conceal his emotions. But "it was no patient that had called him from bis comfoitablo offn e. as soon became apparent ; for, turning aside from the vicinity of tho sparse settle- I nicnts, he struck into a wooded path, and went on until he reached a little group of w igwams of the Indians one ol j whom?a siivhuio, by the eagle plumes twined with hi* scalp lock ?he familiarly addressed ami motioned aside, so thut he could converse with him unheard. 'The medicine of the pile faces want more of the root that grows in the deep BWampS V said the Indian questioning ' Yes, though not to-day. You kuow the boy thut is constantly following and teasing ine. 1 wsnt you to take him out of my sight. Do you under bland ?, 'Yos!' and the savage drew his scalp ing knife from hi-- belt sufficiently to show the shinning blade aud the keen edge. 'No, no! Not in that manner,' was the hurried answer. 'Then tho trail is dark The pale medicine must clear it so that the red man ? an see.' ? 'Your people are soon frjoin^ ofT on yonr annual buffalo bunt, I presume.' The Indian bowed in affirmation, crossed his arms upon his breast, stood like a bmu/cd staturcaud waited to hear what more would be said. Could you not taka the boy with yon? I don't seo any difficulty in it. and w 11, you need not bring him buck again? can manage to trade birr off with some distant tribe 1 believe you often do such things with your captives.' 'The light is beginning to break upon tho trail/ replied tho Indian though scarcely moveing a muscle uf his face. 'That's well. . Now we understand each other. When will you break your encampment!' 'When the mnou ia dark again.' 'Let me see, That will be in about two weeks. Well, I suppose 1 shall have to get along with tho troublesome brat somehow until that tiuie.' 'The warriors and hunters go first very soon, an 1 the squaws aud ptpouses will follow.' 1 Ah ! I low soon ?' ?All are ready but mo.' ?What keeps you'/' 'The rest are mounted. My pony died last uight. Tho trail is very long, aud my moccasins would wear out ond my feet become sore should l Heek to keep up with tlicin.' And he turned bis eyes to where the horse of the physician was standing. 'Yos. yes, I see. If I give vou the horse, you will take caro that the boy pesters me uo more?that he never returns!" 'The word of Hig Klk has never been broken. His tongue never lies. D ies the j- ile medicine not know this? and he looked iu a uianuer that would have mTfnVh" denial "9vjrn>wbat dangerous. 'Ye*, you have dealt squarely with int. I own, and if you still continue to do so will not be the lo?er.

'To-morrow? So soon? Why, bow you do iump at conclusions. No matter. It shall he. as you wish, and the fact is, that the thing hhall be done quietly, without noise, or coming tu the knowl edge of any one' 'The footsteps of Maple Leaf uru soft as the tailing of a suow Hake.' 'What has }ut:r daughter to do with it?' 'The boy of the pslo faces and the i child[of the red nicu arc friends. She will lure him into tho forest and none uf his people shall know that Iu has gono.' 'A capital plan. Yo.i well deserve your reputation for wisdom] Hig Klk.' 'Is tin re anything, awked the Indian entirely ignoring tho compliment, 'the pale medicine would like to have from the oouutrjf where the gr ?und trembles as the herds of butlalo pass over it.' 'I don't know. Let me Ree?' ?lie who cures the sick of his people lo\e to study the nature of serpents and teht their poUlOUS,' 'So I do.

The Icdun watchod until he had entirely disappeared and then sought his daughter and whispered a few words in her ear. To hear a command waa to obey; and that afternoon tho obnoxious boy w is tompted to th? forest?tempt-d to pass the night there and to join the Indians upon their distant journey. Abused and homeless as he was, this did not prove a difficult task, especially with the prospect of a great buffalo hunt bofore him. Provided with a pony by the Indian, und constantly in flue need by the young squaw, he enme to lose, io a great de gree, his remembcrancc of wrongs and his love for civilized life ; and after wandering with the tribe for several years, was adopted into it?adopted their manners and customs and dress, and, when di?guised by paint it would have been very difficult to tell tho real from the counterfeit. This his natuarally swarthy complexion and black eyes and hair favored, and still the more so as he invariably used tha language of the red man. But the chauces had been as a thou sand to one against such a consumma. lion. It had been the intention of Big Elk to carry out his contract to the let ter, and he would have done so had the boy not displayed great bravery and ouftcing?had not been tho means of saving his life, and had he not been sway? 1 fur more tha a he would have been willing to acknowledge by his favorite daughter. Of what had become of the detested boy, Dr. Skinner never knew. The wily Indian effectually blinded his eyes when ho visited, nnd as years passed even permitted the physician to see htm (among others of his age,) and rejoiced wh?r. be found that his disguise was not penetrated. Yet the counterfeit Indian knew him well enough, and all the old hatred awoke within his bosom, was intensified by the life ha had led end it was lucky that the opportunity of re venge did not offer. And yet it vat coming?was very near. When Big Klk returned from one of his annual visits to the physician, his brow was ciou led aud his heart filled with auger. He had*brn?> c Idly received, brutally treated Liiden to be gone fur a miser able, thieving Iu linn dog. when he hinted thai he should receive a proscut as h .d always been the custom) for removing the boy out of the way of the great man. That he, a Sachem of his tribe, should be spoken to iu this man ner, rankled within his soul, aud he pondered long upon the course he should follow. lie saw clearly that the physician would hare nothing more to do wilh hitn. He had become very rich?the power ol the red mau had becu steadily tailing?ilia great white ouo could trample him uuder his feet like dust, aud there would be uouc to forbid. Everything was for the one and agaiust tht: other, and Big Elk knew it would not answer for him to attempt any upon revenge. Such a thing, however, was foreign to his nature. Like all of his race, he loved to lie iu ambush until he could crush his eucmy without danger to himself. For many hours he bitterly brooded over the iusults he had received, then sought John Maiming (who had growu to the stature aud almost years of a man.) took him beyond the heariug of all and poured veuoin iuto his ears, aud uwoke agaiu, iu all the prialiua fresh uess the devilish fire that had loug slumbered within his brso-st. 'My son,' said the Sachem, speaking ?fter the u.auner of the elders of this raue, 'have you forgotten tho home of your childhood, aud he who drove you from it as lbs fierce wolle drives the deer Y 'Never !' was the curt reply. 'Then listen to me. The pals mcdi eiuo bribed me to lure you away, that you might no louger trouble him wilh your demands.' 'For my right !' 'Aye, 1 did so, and you have grown into my heart like n son.' The boy shook with anger, and aa the Sachem paused, he laid his baud in a meaning manner upou his hatchet, and ask od ! ?This V 'No. Let your ears be open?your brart soft as the coil of the prairie in the Ppring time to receive, and hard a it is io Winter to retain.
