Tile lt nv?-nu. We quote the following from a paragraph in thc CharlestonJN*ta*i *>f Saturday. We think lhat General Scott has been deceived in making np his statements. Tito writer says: Brevet Major-General li. Iv. Scott, of tho Freedmen's Bureau, makes, in his letter of May 21, ?SGC, to General O. O. Howard, Hie very peculiar and sweeping statement that tho planters are HO much convinced of the Iwnetits and attached to tho policy, of Ute Bu? lgan;, as not only to uphold his policy, birt to be "panic-stricken" al t he su c? tion of the withdrawal of its fostering care. The writer, and ofehei-s not a buv, whose opinions he knows, freely ad? mits tho integrity ol' purpose and propriety of deportment of General Scott aud same hf his officers, which have rendered a system -utterly odious miller the conduct of his pre? decessor-tolerable, and by contrast most agreeable. But that the Freod mea's Bdreatt is. a favored institu? iou with tho planters, or any considera? ble number of them -that it is other than a tiling endured, because en? durance is thc host and only policy left-is a statement which is, to say the least that moderation can express, a novelty. The lack of assiduity on the part of the. planters, in running lo General Stecdman with complaints, proceeding much from proper pride, and ii oft a little from personal con? siderations for tho efforts ol' General Scott to blot ont lite stains and sins of previous malfeasance, should, how ever, never bc mistaken for moderate approval, much less ardor or affec? tion for the Bureau, or nervous re? grets for ifs removal. The above article, wo think, pula the Bureau in ils true position. WA //arc no use for il; neither Juare ihm .leyroes-whose friend it professes to ne' STONT?ICA??T FAB?ORXJPH. - We ex? tract tho following paragraph from the National littetliyc?c?r. il speaks lov itself : "Everyday klings us additional proofs that tho friends ol' the Presi? dent and his policy will stand shonl . 1er tp shoulder in the full elections. No matter what party they have acted with heretofore, a common enemy and a common cause willindneeevery true patriot to make any sacrifice to rcstoro thc Union and save thc conn try from another war. Tho ?i on heel of fanaticism, in il? mad career, is now attempting lo crush out Slate rights, and, if successful, it will soon sock to extinguish Stat.: lines.

This," observed the ] < Jeilel-nl. "is a revival of tho exploded theory (referring to tho McClellan policy) of subduing the rebellion hy peace measures. A half a miUion troups might have l>eeii kept within sight of Washington till dooms-day, and the rebellion would have llonrished more and more vigorously day by day. Fighting, hard knocks only, could have accomplished th? 1 work. Tho rebellion must be over- | come, if overe?me at all, by force; j its resourees destroyed; its fightiug j material obliterated, before peace 1 could be obtained." Referring t> tho temper of tin? Southern people, he remarked that they are mnoh less disponed now to ? Irring themselves to tho proper frame ; of mind than they wore one year, sine. "A year ago," said die, "they were willing to do anything; now they regard themselves as masters of the situai ion. Some of Hie rebel generals," he added, ";;re behaving nobly, and doing all they can to in? due?? the people to throw aside their old prejudices, and to conform their course to tho changed condition <?f things. Johnston and Dick Taylor, particularly, are exercising a good influence; but." he. added, "Lee is behaving badly. He is conducting himself very differently from what I had reason, from what lie said at the time of t he surrender, to suppose he would. Na nun at the South is ca? pable of exercising a tenth part of the influence l'or good that he is; but, instead of usine; it, ho is setting nu example of forced acquiescence KO grudging and pernicious in its effects ss to be hardly realized." lu reply to a question as to whe? ther ho was not surprised na to tho suddenness of tho collapse of tho re? bellion, C?ranl said that ho was, al? though he had always supposed that when il did hroak down, it would go ?ill at one.-. "I thonght, however," he remarked, "that it would hold out mother season, and 1 nur not sure," he added, "bid that, it, would have been helter fol* the country if it had. There were some paris ol' tho conn try where our armies had never trod, particularly Texas, which needed to feel the blighting effects of the war. Lo brine- their people to a realizing sense ol' {he enormity of their crime ?ind the necessity of a thorough re? pentance.
