Raphael Scmmca to His Brother, Sam? uel M. Semmctt. The National Intelligencer hus been furnished with the following letter, written by Raphael Semmes, late Admiral iu the Confederate Navy, the commander of the rebel cruiser Ahibama, and who is now awaiting trial at Washington: MOBILE, AXA., Aug. 12, 1865. MY DEAR BBOTHEII: The cessation of the war leaves mc nt liberty to re? new my correspondence with you, without subjecting you to suspicion and annoyance; and I need not say to yon how grateful to the yearnings of "heart is this long suspended pri? vilege. You have boon frequently in my thoughts during our unfortunate struggle, and I have often felt much solicitude on your account, lost a part of the odium und ill-will which a zealous performance of my duty has called down upon my head from a "mad nation," should attach to you and your family, and operate to your injury. Indeed, I have no doubt but that the prejudice against me v us tia secret of the barbarous and malignant persecution of your son, of which I heard only a few days since from my wife's friend and relation, Mrs. Jud;. Spencer, of Cincinnati. I have never inquired as to your opinions and con? duct during the war, being content to leave you the same liberty o? choice and action that I claimed for myself. I knew that whatever you did. you would do like a man of honor, and I rested satisfied. Besides, you had been for some time retired from active life by your want of health. As for myself, I have nothing to regret, save only the loss of our indepen? dence. My conscience, which is the only earthlv tribunal of which a good man should be afraid, bears" me witness of the uprightness of my in? tention in choosing my course when, with many regrets, I severed my connection with the old Government and hastened to the defence ol' my home and section; and now, upon reviewing the whole of my subse? quent career, I can see no act with which I have to reproach myself as unbecoming a man of honor and a gentleman. 1 approved tin: secession movement of the Southern States, though I had no agency in it. I thought that a separation of those two sections of our Republic, which had been engaged in deadly moral . conflict for thirty years, would ulti? mately result to the great advantage of them both. The world was wide enough for them to live apart, and peace, I thought, would be the fruit of their mutual independence o? each other. Although I cared very little about the institution of slavery, I thought that the subordinate position of the inferior race was its proper position. I believed that the doc? trine of States lights was the only doctrine which would save our re? public from the fate of all other Re? publics that had gone before us in the history of the world. I believed this doctrine had been violated, and that it would never be sufficiently respected by the controlling masses of the Northern section to prevent them from defacing with sacrilegious hands our national bond of Union wheresoever its letter was meant to guard the peculiar rights of tin; South. Believing this, then! w as but oui; course which a faithful Southern man could pursue, and maintain his self-respect. .1 pursued that course. When the alternative was presented to me of adhering to the allegiance to my native State, or to the United States,^ chose the former. Having ^'"SI'IHB'v side, 1 gave it zealous and ipport. I spent four years ervice, and only ceased to ny cause when it was no longer: possible. I rendered this service without ever having treated a prisoner otherwise than humanely, and, I may say, often kindly; and without ever having committed an oct of - war at any time, or in any manner, which was not sanctioned by thc laws of war ; yet my name will go down to posterity in untruthful his? tories that will be written by bigoted and venal historians as a sort of Blue? beard ox Captain Ki ld. But I am content, my brother. My conscience Ls clear; my self-respect has been preserved, and my sense of manhood remains unimpaired. I think, too, the South will be content, notwith? standing ber immenso losses and sacrifices. Lf she had yielded to the intolerant exactions of Northern selfishness and fanaticism, without appealing to the arbitrament of war, slie would have played a craven and unworthy part. It is better to lose everything we possess than our honor and manhood. I know you will be? lieve me, my brother, when I tell you that I .should feel greatly humbled in my own opinion, were I this day entitled to wear an admiral's Hag iu thc old navy, and in possession of all the means and appliances of wealth, if I thought my honors and rewards had been gained by a sacrifice of en cd. The preservation of my own sell-respect is infinitely preferable to all such gains. I have come out of the war poor, but, (rod willing, I shall make a support for my family. The President treats me as an outlaw, unworthy of amnesty. I have noth? ing to say. If I am deemed unworthy to be a citizen, I can remain in my native; land as an alien. A magnani? mous people would have passed au act of general amnesty, it lieiug absurd and ridiculous to talk about rebels and traitors iu connection with such a revolution as has swept over the length and breadth of this land, in which States, and not individuals merely, were the actors. But enough of this subject. 1 am still in Mobile, but it i.s yet uncertain where I shall go, or what I shall do. If I save five or six thousand dollars out of the wreck of my affairs, it will be fully as much as I expect. I think of retiring into thc country, where, upon a small farm, I eau live in obscurity and peace the few years that remain to me. My children are all grown, aro well educated, and will be able, if the worst comes to the worst, to take care of themselves. Remember me kindly to your family, my dear brother, and let me hear from yon. We have become old men. We have both had our troubles, but the chain of affection which binds me to you remains unaffected by the cares of the world, and as bright now as when we slept iu each others' arms. Your affectionate brother, R. SEMMES. Address "li. Semines, Esq." Parties Desiring Wood CAN be supplied with the best WOOD. l>v leaving their orders at Dr. W. P.
