With respect to the last clause of 4Jaifl proposition wo have nothing to any.. It ia, perhaps, tho desiro of tho white troops to retire from further military service, and return again to ?the comfort of their several homes, and wo havo ?very wish that they shall bc indulged in this de sire. But the assumption that there ia this senti ment and condition of hostility towards tho colore?! trace in this section of the South, at least, is entire ly gratuitous. It is true, that we havo submitted to emancipa tion with reluctar-co; true, thatbotweon the races '?mH ?thrown unprepared into relations new oa? ?strange, for which they were prepared by r*> ? periefico or intellectual preconception of its con .xlitions, there are diversities of vicirs, conflicting conceptions of right, and naturally and necessa rily disturbances between them; but it is not true .-that there is tho disposition in the whites to co croc, oppross, and peraccuto tho ?lacks. On the contrary, thero is a conception ?if the situation, -aijd the lights aud obligations vomiting, infinitely more accurate and just than cm possibly exiat among any other people. To U3 it is ? vast and vital subject?uot for speculation, but for action. Wo aro hero brought faco to fate with another arace, with whom it is of the vory last importance that our relations should bo friondly?with whom it is of tho vory last importance ttat wo shall con -?car in every enterprise, go hand iu baud to all pur suits, whose vcll-being ia indiBpuisablc to ovory interest, to every hopo, in fact, nf progress and prosperity?and in whom, therefore, and whoso welfare, we have a concern infinit-ly greater thau can possibly bo felt by the people who. so compla ? cenUy solace themselves with tfco lucubrations of that journal to which wo havi referred. To them the fate of the negro is a speculative qucs ' rtion; to us it is intensely practical;?to them it is not important if, like the Indian, he shall expiro to "point a moral or adorn a talc;"*' to ua it is of the laet importance that ho shall stiud and prosper. ?He in yet a part of our population; he is a part of ?our society; his labor is tho condition of existence Jfco aU our operations and interests. If he shall ?continue a cheerful worker, a valuable member of a?nr aociety, a choerful nnd accordant constituent ?or our social state, w<J cau yet move on in prosper ity and peace; but if ho shall not? if estrange ments occur aud antagonism and hostility result, ibero is no hope fbr ua?no hope for tho prosorva fionof our interests; every State becomes a battlo ground, the preservation of individual existence ?t3omiy the subject of the contest, and the negro falls, if fa"! he muat, drapod with cvory interest, cope, and prospect of the land. To mon pledged by such fearful considerations, <o proper and becoming acta towards tho negro, it is an outrage, that their conduct should bo the . eubject of euch flippant comment, and that our course should bo disturbed by the acts such corn ?saent is likely to inspire. We had not sought our late relation to the negro raco. Their presence ' here w.*ib ratkor tho result of accidont than of any .effort of our own. When no lonjer profitablo at the North, they were sold to us. While with ua, we have given thorn the disciplino and form of so il! government which seemed suited to their wants. The propriety of that government is ex "hlbitod in a career of peace, order and well-be ing between races in* contact so ?Ustinct, which is -sjntfaout a parallel in human history; and even now, though overruled in our co?rso,' instructed by men ' oflcss exp?rience, forced to act the thoughts of ?others rathor than our own?to movo, too, in ac cordance with the conceptions of men loss influ enced?wo aro forced to fear* by precepts of phi lanthropy than considerations of political huc> ccafl?wo are still solicitous for tho negro. Wo -bave a kind remembrance of tho relations that Jiavc-heretofore existed. 'We recognize his claim, as a human being, to a common share of human -sympathy. We would proaorvo him for this^or if it bo too much to assume even this virtue?we would ?pare him from our vital interest in his pre servation; and in tho name of a common humanity . . . ure .protest- .against tho, courae commondod to tho ?Government by this and other journals at the IKoTth. - "'-'""', T^v ' : J? *#ei*? ?tgflL mu?*4i, perhaps, to claim cons?dcra <?xm'tari.-bTiriu}i*e$i\ ^yt?vfctisV is, perhaps, the ?tile for us as it has often boon ?or others, And ?that for thoso who throw the gage of battlo, with -cat tho forces to sustain them, thero is no ro ?dbemption froni irrevocable doom.

We .. ^re not'moro bound in them thkn they in us; to as it is vital that the races shall hero constitute ?orne continuous and accordant society, but it is' riot less so to them; segregation will not. bo loss fatal Jto them than to us. And can this measure, coin o w?lhout it? Can the negro bo instructed that ho ?a injured and in danger,?that his rights are threatened,-his lifo in peril,?that a powe? must "So always present to protect him,? that ho may appeal at pleasure,?that for wrong or caprice hp ?may arraign tho white man,?that ho at least shall "be favored and sustained,?without inspiring in tbira a sonso of irresponsibility to right and latv? ia tho white man a sonso of insecurity and liability ?to wrong?in both a sense of estrangement, in tsfonism, hostility, and tho fooling, that of all tho nratl?, thoy have tho moat to fear and suffer from ?ea?hotlior? - 2io relation pisociety, tho dcarqst, eau st?nd a ?teat like this. ? tribunal ouch as this, to sustain ??fcre* agaiqsf their/ husbands?children against tflkeir par on Is?would break ovon thoso two groat adatlons of society, And bring a, sovial a.ua.?chy _a i i _._ throughout the l_nd.

Husbands may bcu>t their wives, fathers their children, and shall they thon not havo protection ? The protection to any order of society consists not in tribunals,, but in tho ab sence of motives to infliction. As a normal con stituent of society, the negro will want no protec tion; the conservatism of tho system?tho natural equities of his relation?will be sufficient ; but ren dered abnormal by the insertion of such an insti tution for thft adjustment of his special wrougs, and no institution upon earth will bo sufficient to protect him. -?. ? Toe Washington correspondence of the Herald, writing under date of August 19, gives tho folio w ' ing account of politics and politicians at the cap ital: NInetocn-twentieths, aye more, r>r the employees of the departments are hostile to the policy of the rresldcnt. The bureaus, almost without excep tion, arc presided over by his political foes, who have crammed thoir respectivo offices with tho bitterest of radicals and negro worshippers. With gomo few designing exceptions, used for a disguise, no applicant is appointed by them who is not un qualinodiy committed to negro suffrage and equal ii; ; and no omployco, however efficient and com petent, ?h not promoted* who is not of the same ! stripe. This proscription ami favoritism has bo ! come a studied system in many of tlih bureaus. Unless a Jacobin, no applicant for position or can didate for promotion stands tho ghost of a chance in any bureau presided over by a Puritan. For in stance, as I am credibly informell by a gentleman of ability and intogrity. in tho room in which he is employed are niuo "clerks, eight of whom arc avowedly opposed to the Presulcnt's reconstruc tion policy, aro in favor of negro suffrage, and havo no more decency or Bcnse of propriety than to hold offico under an administration to which they aro violently opposed And fciiia mum is not an pxcoption. Tho bureau is of the same sonti ment. Politically, it is a perfect Augean stable, i and should bo cleaned out with more than a Her culean energy. Tho ?bbuo presented to tho coun try during tho war, viz?you cannot bo in favor of maintaining tho Government and yet oppose the President's administration seeking to prevent its ovortlirow,?ia now discardcel by those precious hypocrites, who profesa Union yot oppose an ad ministration struggling for its restoration. Is it not astonishing that the President shoulel feed these vampires, who would throw every obstacle in the way of the success of his aelniinistrationV A j dissolution of tho Cabinet would ventilate tho de partments, much to tho relief of tho Executive, I tho intorcet of the government and the welfare of tho country. VORNE?'B TWO-FACED OPEIIATIOSS. The political shines of John W. Forney recently (though notumiBod to them) have disgusted even tho few who retained any confidence in him. Tho Chroniclo published andmanifeetly endorsed Gen. Cox's reply to tho solf-conatituted Oborlin Com inittoo, in wlji?h t'ue General opposed negi'? suf frage Throe days thereafter it published approv ingly the lottcr of tho ox-rebel Foote, favoring ne gro suffrago. Tho Jacobins hero arc confident that the Chronicle, now leaning towards thorn, will soon throw off its disguiso, and onlist, body and soul, in thoir cause. In last Sunday's issue it pub lished tho item that whilo Prentice of tho Louis oillc Journal, denounces tho rebellion, .his son, as local editor, glorifies it. Disgusting as this is in th? Journal, it is not more so than the figure cut by tho Chronicle, which, as a journal, opposes the President's Southern reconstruction policy, Bides with the Jacobins, whilo Forney, its editor anel proprietor, as "Occasional," indulges in the most fulsome laudations of tho President personally, and would slobber upon him if permuted. It is understood that in order to retain the Secretary ship of tho Senate, Forney has cast the Chronicle with tho Jacobins: while, to obtain tho recognition of tho President, he hides his real character, and " Rends the pregnant hinges of tho knee, Tliat thrift may follow fawning." Tho President ''lore long see the necessity of ridding himself ..' thiB incubus. I verily bollovo that one-twentieth of all those dancing attendance, from day to day, upon the President for office,'fee., boar letters from Forney?either as* introductor}* or recommendatory ? soliciting Executive favor. What audacious impudence, presumption incar nate, in, ono who at the name timo is covertly en deavoring to ?nv?iglo the President into the mesh es of a disastrous Jacobin policy in the lato re bel lion a States, contrary to. the wishes of a vast ma I Jority Of the people I j Generals Lee ami Grant as Historians. The following we clip from an exchange : Tho two loading Oencrals of the late war, Leo and Grant, are now engaged in writing up the his tory of thoir respectivo campaigns. In both casos wo suppose that tho histories will be almost pnrely military in thoir. character. Lee, howover wLU havo some advanta?o ovor Grant, in that his' his tory will not bo made in the. form of an official re port, and hence, ho can indulge in greater discur siveness of statement and a greater iroodom of stylo than i?'c??tomary in official documents. Grant is a very close and accurate writer, and wo may say that Leo in gonorsi has tho samo cha racteristics. Tho last of Grant'?campaign, of which thus far ho' has given us a fid roporf, was that which was crowned with tho iplondid victory at Chattanooga in tho latter prf t of 1803; and wo havo always considered that rnort as the master -ptecb of military writing andnilltary philosophy ?that tho war has produced. Tfe last fidl military report of General Leo that wo emeynbor to have seen, in that of tho battlo of ( Jttysburg, fought two years ago. I : 11 Leo's report of his campaig) will be confined ontirely to operations in Virgi ia, while Grant's report Will bo of battles fought id won ovor half a continent. From Bohnont te Vickabdrg, from Dohoison to Chattanooga, ho ci npaigncd in tbo Southwest; from tho .Wildernci to Petersburg, and thence around to Louisa ourt House, was h; i battle march in .Virginia; wl to during tho last year of tho war ho directed.
