Ihe following is an extract from the lctte ? of ex-Senator John 8. Cariile of West Virginia, referred to In our despatches yesterday: M,y opposition to radicalism Is well k.nown. Thn'tl would have saved the Union pat. ij from it, It It had been In my power, is 'abo well known. Bo prcat was niy opposition to the ultra Urn ot Congressional legislation, and si sincere my convictions that, rather than a'jate the one or surrender the other. I pave up my place in the Senate, nod for a time lost the confidence of my Union irUnds. 1 had hoped and expected that the action of the New York Convention would have entitled its nominees to the support of Con servative Utiion men. Had its members pledged themselves to the raniutenance ot the right of local bell-povt-rnnront in ti e 8ttes, as secured by the Cousiitutien, nominated as their Prcst dental raudidatc a man of undoubted Union Urn, who bolieved in tne right of the Govern ment to protect itself, and enforce its lawful authority, I should have vo'ed tor its nominees. This wa not done. On the contrary, tt is my opinion that Hendricks was detested because be is not h believer iu the right of secession. The war recordjt Hancock deleated him. Mr. Val laiidltfuarn'o patriotism nomiuuted Seymour, nnd crushed the aspirations ot the Chiei-Justice. The trins ot "the lott cause" triumphed over the Uuloriim of tho Convention, and the strife ot the tttle-tJcld is to be renewed, to bs tougbt out at tbe ballot-box. As much hi I am opposed to the rrdioil legislation of tbe ltstsix years, 1 an more opposed to disunion. Bo long at we are one reoplB vicious legislation may be corrected, even constitutional atnendmunts may bo abol ished, and constitutional liberty preserved; but once divided into separate (states, under differ ent Governments, lioerty and prosperity, peace ard gocd government, are lost forcer. Grant will lecelve no nupport trom tect suonists or their Bjmpa'hizers; they are all to be found in the ranks of tbe party supporting Mr. Seymour. The conservatism of Republicanism nominated Grant. The radicalism of Democracy nomi nated Seymour. If tbe Supreme Co.irc shall decide, as the Democracy hold it will decide next Winter, the reconstruction legislation of C'onpress unconstitutional, it will doubtk-ss be for ihe reason among others that the 8 at3 has tbe riahi, tree Irom Couuressional interierence or Executive dictation, to form lor itself its own Cons'itution, ptovlded it be republican in form. It this be to, the (iovernmeuts created by tbe Constitutions ot the seceded Staves, uudcr the laws ot Congress, are nullities, and have no legal existence; the Governments created under Executive dictation must share tho same tale, and these feta'es will ba remitted back to the Governments created by the Consti tutions adopted by each after the passage of their several ordinances of secession an 1 the repudia'lon of their allegiance to tue Constitu tion of the United Slates. In this situation, with an Executive who thinks, with tho lato President Buchanan, that the Government of tbe United States cannot use force against the people ol a seceded S'ate to compel obedience to its lawful authoiity. will not disun'on be a fact accomplished, ai.d will not the war have lieen fought in vaiu? It Is impossible, in the limits allowed by tbe press to communications of this sort, to do more than briefly refer to a few considerations tUat have brought my mind to the conclusion to whicti I have arrived. I may hove occasion, beloie the electiou, to f nter fully upon the vindication of my propojed action. This, if done, 1 shall do before the people who have heretolore honored me with their confi dence. JonN S. Oarmle. Judge Rlvee Support of Geweral Oraat. Hot SPBING3, Aug. 18, 18C8.

I sbult not, therefore, be able to attend it. I feel ttie liveliest interest in the buccrss of thi3 ticket, as involving the pros perity and peace of the country; but I do not feel at liberty to depait from that proper reserve Wbicu las always been practiced by the mem bers of the Judiciary in thi State by taking a part in the public and excitiug discussions of this cam paigu. Most respectfully, your obedi ent servant, Alkx. Rives. To Kdwin Dudley, Esq., Chairman ot Central Com mittee, eic. THE DIN OF BATTLE. A Rebel Ge-eral o a II I (It Iloraa. General Cullen A. Battle, of the late Coufede rate army, was introduced to the late Seyni3ur and Blair meeting in Mobile, by the lion. John Foiy tb, of the Mobile ICegister, who commended him as lollows: "General C. A. Battle nobly did his part in the fields of the eoutb, when a holy libation of blood and valor was poured out to the common renown. At Seven Pines, at Chancellorsvnle, Winchester, Gettysburg, Fisher's Hill, and on scores of fields, he led his brave Alabamians where gloiy was to be won, and his gray coal and flashing sword were ever f jund nearest the flashing ot the guns. Our worthy President. Colonel Hemdon. himself bearing the scars of the mighty conflict, will iutroducn to youoae of the heroes of this gigan 1c war." In the course ot his speech, General Battle ad dressed his (ellow soldiets ot tbe lute C. S. A., as lcllowf : 'ComraleM Brothers! year after year you bore the Confederate flag through bre and tem pest, and upon more than two hundred battle fields covered it with victory, our imperish able glories are intrenched in the impregnable fortress ot the past, and no power cuu dim tbeir tffulgeuce. Hate, malignity, and tyranny are impotent to transform patriots into tiattors and heroes into slaves. You, my comrades, and you alone, can obliterate the glorious record. Will you do It, or shall it remain a perpetual heritage to your children? What though your flair went down bathed in woman's consecrating tears aud baptized in the best blood ot toe nation. This is still your native laud. You all did love her once, nut without cause, ncr mountains are as jratd, her valleys are as leitile a9ever; her daughters are as f.ilr, her matrons are as virtuous. Ii she less dear to you beciuse the bus opeued her matcual bosom aud re ceived to her embrace tbe noblest and bravest of htr sous? li the the lets your mother because elie has been insulted aud wronged f Oh I rbe is dearer a thoiiband tunes dearer than the was in her strength and her glory. Her fortitude in the midst of her desolation has attracted the admiration of the worla; and now the great Democratic party of the Union throws over her a bauner inscribed with the principles of constitutional liberty for which tho fought, and I am here to-Lit; ht to auk you to come up to her altar, and let us nsain pie.ipe to her our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. Tbe Democratic party oilers tbe most bouorablo terms. It endorses principles lor which you battled not because it was the principles upou which the Confederacy was founded-but the Confederacy adopted them bcause they were pi inulgated by the fathers ot Amencau inde peudenre, and weie vindicated by the war of the he volution. Under them, tbe American colonies advar.ee to a mighty empire, and in their observance is tbe last hopu lor American coiibtitolronHl liberty. Not only does It declare in favor of the Constitution, eo dear to you, but it most solemnly declares that all tboso acts of reconstruction so totally destructive of jour rk'hts, and so repugnant to every honorable feeling, are unconstitutional, null, uud void. The honorable peutlemau who will follow me tonight may, perhaps tell you 6ometniugof the circumstance thut attended the adoption of that platform. He may tell you how conflicting sentiments were recoucllel and barinouy se cured. How every bcttr, bounded with wanly impolpcs wbrn Wade Hampton portrayed the condition of tsouth Carolina, and then Asked 'ihe incorporation into tbe platform ot the decla ration tost the reconstruction acts were uncon stitutional, na.ll, and void. "And what of tbe candidates wao stand upon tliat idattoimT Uctatio Seymour stands at tbe head of American statesmen. Dud he lived in tha best days ot Home, he would have been among tbe roost renowned of her Senator. Had be been the actor in the earlier days of tho republic, he would have been the compeer of Washington, Adams and Jeflerson," etc. etc. Battle seems to be on his high horse. We'll tr to take him down next November. BO BERT E. LEE. Ilia Private Life la Ltxlagtoa, Mm, A correspondent of the Cleveland Leader, writing from Lexington, Va., says: In the fbady streets ot Lexington, Robert E. l.ee Is scicom seen but on a Sunday, when, wild bis life lone punctuality, he goes to cburcn and makes the promptest responses. He is the most remarkable man in many senses 1 have ever koked upon, It quirj among these ex-Uonfede-rate ottlcers crumbles my superstitions about all but him. My tneory ot the inflexible Davis has been ditturbed: iu his all-sullicieut stead l am shown a querulous obstinate man, muroiurtug thut the people demanded some of ht preroga tives to be transferred. In place of Jackson, He invulnerable toldier, 1 see a dull Presbyterian depcon talking to himself as be marches. For J. E.B. Stewart I tee a circus rider ata fan dango, tor Ewell I remark a giobcring old gentleman, no; bine out ot uniiorm. 1 read Early's book and blush that 1 ever bplievod iu him. But Lee is the immutable respectability that 1 caui.ot di prove, diminish, nor despise. Sinking out of sight his original treachery, he is tbe most perfect union ot manners, honors, morals, prudences that I have ever studied. Here at Lexington he seldom mentions tbe war. It is history elsewhere, silence to him. His administration ot this College is a more perfect success, if possible, than bis handling of an arnry. Ho takes tbe personal bond of very many of the students that if ever they become able they will pay ior their tuition. His liie is in h's acts, not iu bis character. And yet, with all this owned, there U ro man I dislike more in tbe South in the 1 gut ot republicanism and the American future. In that strange carriage, mellowed grey hair, and composed laue tnat is ever beautiful now, there is no couiession of sympathy with democratic aims, no American ealieuceiof character a subject's content only in the church aud the sta'e, uot a ciuzon'a equal aspiration and popular pulse. The conesponoent adds the following in regard to Moseby: '"At Warrenton I saw Moseby, the partisan chief, a lawyer of fair vil lage ability, with a sad jawed lace, a dull, stubborn eye, agrittiuess, laakness, and bronze nets all over him, and a saucy ease ol speech that became his record well. He fits iu prettily with the new Democratic prospects, has a hope ful talk, and is, I thluk, by no menus the best of the traus'ormed Rebels. It is the miserable tradesmen's spirit that revives forever the lost issues ol the war and carps upon them." Aaotbar patch In tha Wast. A correspondent of the Chicago Times (Demo cratic) has been writing sketches ot the towns along the Pacific Railroad. These towns, he find, are the creations ot a day, and their population is mainly made up of adventurers, mutdeiers, farablers, thieves, and prostitute'. One of tbe worst is B-nton, Dmotah Territory. Tbe Pactdc Railroad was extended beyond it u few days ago, aud Frank Blair, as one ot the Commibsioners on the part of tbe Government, inspected it. On his return to Benton he was recognized and iorced by its Democratic popula tion to make a bpeech. He did so, and we make tbe following extracts, as reported by the Times correspondent: 1 regret that I cannot talk to you an hour or two. (Cries of "Go on, go on.") You dan't look m deh like bondholders (much laughter), aud were you a little further East 1 know your votes would tell leiuiully against tbe party of moral ideas aud excessive taxes lor the poor, a party which, by fatr means or foul, is bound to wiu in this coming campaign if it can. (Loud deerine.) Tuis radical corruption must ceae. Next fall it will cease aud we hope forever. Our motto is justice to white men. Tne Demo cratic platform adopted by tbe patty has already frightened tho isands trom the cowardly rai.ks of tbe radicals, and thousands more will flee. (A voice "The Democratic flea is too much tor them;" great laughter ) The great masses of this mighty republic have no affinity with the negro. (Prolonged applause.) Ihe right of elective franchise is for the white man alone; and the ruinous system intioduced into tbe radical party and platloim is opening the eyes ot tbe people to such an extent tnat overwhelming majorities wilt crown our brigur, proud banners with such a f.lorious victory tnat tbe huzzas will shake the very earth to its foun dations." (Immense and enthusiastic applause.) The reporter is very jubilant ever this reception, and contrasts it with that received by Geueral Grant, whom he says was called upon by a tew people. After the graphic description given of tbe settlers of this town, it is no wonder they preferred Blair to Grant. A Pendletonian Serenade. At a serenade tendered him, at the Parker House, Boston, on last Tuesday evening, George II. Pendleton made tbe following respouse: Fellow-citizens: I thluk 1 heard some one down there speak of Copperheads. He don't know what Copperhead means. ("That's so." and "Good.") It means that Democratic party which is to save liberty to this country if it is to be saved at all. (Givers.) I tbauk you, gentle men, for the compliment you have done me to night. I am gratified to consider it in some degree a Tfrsonal compliment, but I am far more gratified to believe that it is an expression ol your kindness to that great State iu tho Kortbwest Jrom which I come. (Cheers.) And 1 am still more gratified to see iu it a token of your devotion to that erett party in the country, and to those great principles of Government to which we all have givea our adherence. I lelt my home in Cincinnati yesterday morning. 1 oamo directly here on my way to MaiLe to do what service lean iu behalf ol our party. ("Good" and cheers.) I shall carry back to my people there this evi dence that I have le -eived of your kinduess,and if when I go to Maine, I shall see tho same snlrit actuating the people there, I will carry them back news which will give tbe State of Ohio to Seymour aud Blair. (Cheers) and a voice ("Give us a speech in Faueml Hall"). Now, pentlen en, as 1 said that 1 had been for thtrtj-six hours In the cars, you will not expect me to mat e a bptech to you to-night. (Turee cheers were here given for Seymour and Blair.) Gentlemen, as I svd, jou will uot expect mo te nake a bpeech to you to-nich r I como merely ta acknowledge this personal compli ment. I am sure you will excuse me from laying anything more, and permit me to wish you all a very "good night." -A JfliOMISlNG YOUrU. II Whips ikla Step-mother aad Bister, aad Hub a Awajr with Aaotbar Maa'a Wife. The Dubuquo (Iowa) Uera d of Monday last says: lu the upper end of the city lives, or rather did live, a young man, whose unme Is so long aud unpronounceable ny Amencau tODgues, and unwritable by "Yaukee" pen, that we omit it. He has lately given evidence ol posess ng first class brutality and a superior quality ot down right rascality; for if a man is capable of stealing another's wlie. would he not steal almost any thing he could carry away f The boy has had a thorough education in meanness for it was uot many years ugo that tbe amiable and exceed ingly upright father of this bjy, discovered that he (the futhcr) seeded a new overcoat and that Adam Jaeger needed soma wood, and a'so that Jaeger buu piled up In his back pro mises a tew cords of good oak wood. With an eve to bosintss be struck up a bargain with Mr. Jseger to deliver him so niuco wcod for an overcoat, and biteLiing up bis team drove around to the alley back of Mr. Jaeget' house, loaded up Mr. Jacg. r'a wood, bad it examined by Mr. Jaeger, and was directed to deliver it back of tbe bouse with the other wood, and rr peated the operation until the coat was con sidered paid lor aud on his back, when he coolly departed. 1 he senations ot Mr. Jaeger cau be better imagined than described when he found that he had traded otf a gjod OTcrcoat for some of his own wood. The boy in question has proven himself to be a worthy sou of an illustrious slrp. A few dms ego he came home and most brut ally beat bis step-mother and sister, as log as it please I him, n'-arly killing bom. Then he went to his ta'ber's room ami robbed that re ep clfible dd gentleman of his Sunday clothe, after which he deliberately wulked otf, dres.e l up gorgeously, and eloped wi h anegobor's wile, who leaves a wretched hubbaud uud two children. M E X I 0 0 Progress of the HevoluMoaarjr Mort. Vera ttai at the J&ervy ot I uigralt. The New York nera!Ts correspondent, writ ing from Vera Cruz under date of August 5, eavs: Vera Cruz maybe attacked at any moment wirb a pre it probability of success, as tuere are no lorces bere cnpablo of repelling a deter mined enemy. Tbe only reliable troops have t een quar ercd iu the Castle of St. Juan de TJUoa, where they are most needel. The Gov ernment's confidence in the men and officers ot the other battalions is quite limited, and tears are c ntinuaily entertained that they will pro nounce, it is even suspee'ed that tho two distinguished prisoners of Ulloa General Cas tillo, Chief of Staff ot Maximilian, aud the best engineer ot Mexico, nnd General Escobedo, commander ol one of the divisions of Queretaro, are likely soon to be placed at the head of a revolutionary party, instead of accomplishing their ten years' imprisonuieut. Tbe military authorities here called for help from Mexico City, and were answered by tbe Secretary ot War, General Iguacio MejU, that not even a single man could be sent, since alt available troops wire already busily engaged in the suppression ot revolutionary movements ngulnst Presiuent Juaiez and libcra'l.-m, as typi fied by the prrsent national government. General Alatorre, commaudiug iu tue Puebla f-ierta, lately called for a reiniorccment of oue tboii8and men, but only received two hundred. The newspapers here uud at tne capital have gone sort oi a report that be Lad defeated the insurgents, in tbe bierru, but it is daltout in snch a way as to lead to the belief that there is not a particle ot truih in it. On tne contrary, well authenticated news from Jalapa bus been received bere that Ala'orre bad reached tbe city with only two hundred men fit for service, and many wourded, having beeu badly defeated in ibe Sierra by Negrete, who had reunited with Lucas. Tho balance ot General Alutorre's army, less the killed, ot course, is uud to have gone over to Negrete's standard. It this Is ronbrmed, as I think it will be ere long, Puebla and Vera Cruz fetates are at tbe mercy ol Ne grete In a very short time the lute of the Juarez party will be decided. It Is esia blished. beyoud the poiut of doubt, that, ull political partisanship laid aside, the greatest uneabinesa and discontent i revails throughout tbo republic. But lew persons can form u cor rect Idea of tbe misery prevaleut in the interior States. Agriculture is everywhere almost ruined; industry has ceased; all the priucioal manutactoiies have stoi pad work ; commerce is dead, aud the thousands of men employed in carrying foreign goods irom tbe seaports to the interior cities, to ns, and villages are without employment, since there are no goods to carry. Live these nimi must, and naturally enough they take to the highways aud murder and plunder lor a living. Some ambitious in dividual soon gathers a number ot these poor devils together aud, forming a formidable band, indulges in a pronunctametito, to give the ap pearance ot respeciability to his cause. Such is unquestionably the source and ongiu of most of the armed opposition against the government ote movement crushed to day to be succeeded by a worse one somewhere else on the following morrow. PR OS EL Y TISM. The Case or Mary Aaa Smith. The following appears in the New York Tablet ol this week wnh regard to Mary Anu Sloho: "We uuderstand that this girl, wbose case his acquired considerable notoriety, in tbe public pnuts, owing to the attempt on the part ot a Methodist minister in Mewaik.to remove her from a place w heto her lather bad placed her, atd who, unfortunately, by her conduct and Junguage in the court, did all tho could to assist him in his attempt, has, bince she was remauded to tbe House nt the Good Shepherd, regretted her conduct, and now iledres to do what Is right in every respect. She asbisted at the Retreat which was given in that institution iu July, aud approached tbe Holy Sucraments. She has 3ince written a letter to her lather wh'ch she requested him to show to ber Methouist Iriends asking them to cease all proceedings in the matter, that Ebe is a Catholic, aud wishes to remain one. They, however, paid no hee4 to her request, a Ld are putting her nareu's and iriends to addi tional trouble by mrther litigation. Tbe other duy tbey went so far as to lake up a collection, at the camp meeting in Sing Sing, to pay the legal expeuses. Have they no young girls of their own going astray that lequire intent on, tl at they must needs try to steal a lamb from the Catholic fold? If Mary Ann Smith is now let alone, and ceases to be tne object of notoriety which she bus been, and which has had a dangerous influence upou ber, aud remains lor a while longer with the ex' el.ent Sisters of the Good Shepherd, there is a good chance of her turning out a prudent and well behaved girl. Sne is learnirg a trdo, aud is happy aud con tented. Under these circumstances we think tbe Methodists might as well draw off tbeir forces, aud not waste their strength in a hope less undertaking." Tbe following letter from' Miry Ann lo the Rev. Father Donne, ofthiscity, has bceu handed us for publication: YoitKViLLE, August 1, 18C8. Convent of the Good fchi plierd.

To-day iB tbe appointed time for the execution of John Kennedy, the murderer of Thomas Hand. Of ibis tiagedy tbe Utica (N. Y.) 06ererot Wednesday says: This John Kennedy, it appears, la well known In tbe town ot Maicy, iu this county. He worked on a (arm there for ex-Supervisor George b. Bobbins. He was with this gentleman about two years, leaving a year ago last December or January. He is described as being a young mau abjut twrniy-tour or twenty-five f ears old, and as coining nam Canada. Alter i aviDg his place at Marcy, be is uext heard ot :n bt. Lawrcuce county, wuero tbe murder was ct.nioiiUeo. The peculiar natnre of the cae Ins in the lact that he was tried three dillerent times in as many courts, and was convicted every time. Tho la-t court before which he was ariaicncu being tbe Court ot Afpeals, there is no hope ot escapo lor htm hum banging. Tbe facte in regard to the mur der and the tiials are best giveu in the following account tl the sentencing ot the prisoocr in Cald ill, St. Lawrence county, on the 14th ot July. He was taken before the Supreme Court, when Judge James, the presiding judge, asked him if he bad auyiblug to say why the Court should not hx a titii? lor the execution of the judgment of the court against biin lor the muiderol Tnomas llaudf Ibe prisoner said in substance as follows: "I knew Thomas Hand, whose real name was Thomas Jackson; I had worked lor him a good deal, and bad lived about the neighborhood. Patrick Kennedy and myself weie in Uu dens burg in February. On our way home Patrick Wanted me to go uh him and kill Tuoinns tiaud, and gel what be had. I said 1 would not do It. We orove up to Heuveltou in the sleigh, and there got some liquor to drink. Pat got so drunk that on our way home from there he said no more about it. After that I went to Canada, suld there a lew days and came back, I saw Pat Ken neoy agaiu, and be wanted me to go wiiu him and kill l bomas Hand. I said I would not do it. We came to ogdensburgaaain lu u sleigh, and he wanted I should go with him wh -n we got back. I said no. On the way back Pat was pretty drunk, and he spoke aga n acout killing Thomas Hand. Wben we got back to Heuvel tou he had some more to drink and got pretty drunk, to druLk I hal to diive. When he got to his bouse he bad got some sober, and he said now is the time to go and kill Thomas Hand. So ho took ibe lines aud drove over there aud I held the horses while he went in and killed Thomas llano. I had Lothing to do with it, and know nothing more ubout it," MISSED FIRE. Attempted Asiaaalaatlon or a St. Louis Justice. The Missouri Democrat of Tuesday morning last says: About the 1st of June a man named Rudolph Staahe, who keer.s a bar room and grocery ou Graud avenue, opoosile to tbe eastern entrance to tbe Fair Groumis, brouxht suit against M. W. Du Tour, before Justice Walther, of the Eiebth Ward, on a peace warrant. Du Tour got a change of venue to Justice Jecko's Courr, and the cause was tried by a jury on tne 12th of Jure, the jury returning a verdict in lavor of Du Tour und against fetake. Uo we er Judge Jecko mieht have regarded tbe matter, be ba 1 nothing to do wi.h the decision lu tue case, a jury having rendered it. btattke wasdiosatisiied; not to put too fine a point upon it, he was mad mad at the jury, aiid madder at tbe Justice, swearing vengeance against the latter particu larly. Between lacd 2 o'clock Justice Jecko re paired to his own cfiico from the Police court room, where he had been ar-ting as Police Justice lor Judge D. nison, absent from the city on sick leave. While stauding upon the raised floir in tbe rear ot tbe room upon wbich staud the desks of the Justice and bis clerk Staake eutered. aim at once walked up ou the plailorm trom which justice is dispensed. He Lad tbe appearauce oi an angry man, but as angry men are not uufrequen.ly seeu in such piaces, the la;t was not instantaneously aud particularly noted. To speak truiv, many men bo enter the rooms oi Justices of ihe Peace are angry were they otherwise, tney might not go there at all. Justice Jecko asked Staake what he wanted. Mutterinz something about "protecting a ecoundrel," biaake wheeled as he leached a de.-k placed against the southern wall, drew a revolver from a pocket on bis hip, poimed it directly at the stomach of tbe 'Squiie, two and a halt or three feet distant, and pulled tbe trigger. The cap snapped With out igniting the powder, aud to this fact Justice Jecko is indebted tor his life. Iustantly the Judge comprehended the situation, and without taking time to get scared, jumped for Staake, and seized the arm holding tbe pibtol. Staake endeavored to get clear, evidentjy with the intention of getting another shot. Mr. Selgwart had btepped down oft the platf irm to attend to some bubiness; Jecko called "Jo," and he was up in a twinkling. With a solid right-haudpr he leveled Staake to the floor, when the 'Squire secured tbe revolver. Seigwart got mad at this juncture, aud we bre fam to acknowledge that oetoie Staake was released trom his clutches by Ju tlce Jecko, he looked like a mau who had passed through several rounds of a prize fight and got considerably the worst of It. Staake, on recalling his equilibrium, was marched to the Central PENAL SERVITUDE. Six Ytara' Impi liouunt ror Writ lag- a Newepaper Article. The E'berfeld Gazette, a German paper, tells this storj: "A native ot Prussia, in the Papal service. M. Clausing, has sent us beveral com munications irom Rome.

Special Despatch to the Evening Telegraph. Washington, Aug. 20. The ex-Rebel Com missioner for the exchange of prisoners, Robert Ould, is out in a two column article in one of tbe morning papers here, trying to show that General Grant was responsible for the non exchange of prisoners in 1864, and that conse quently all the suffering of the Federal prisoners at Andersonville and other Southern prisons is to he attributed to Grant. The article is evidently intended as an elec tioneering document for the beneQt of the De mocratic candidates. Ould's letter consists of mere assertions on his own responsibility, un supported by any official data going to connect General Grant in any way with the non exchange of prisoners. , He tries to make it appear that the Rebels weie anxious to make the captivity of the Union soldiers as pleaant as possible, and then re iterates as a reason for their failure to do so, the old story that they had not means. In 1854 he says he offered to purchase medicines off the Federal Government for the Federal prisoners, but received no reply to his suggestion. Army officers here say the reason of it was that Ouli could not be trusted to distribute tho supplies sent to Federal prisoners. Those tent by the Sanitary and Christian Commissions, having been unhesitatingly confiscated by the Rebel authorities on several occasions. Ould is very anxious for the election of Seymour and Blair, and it is understood this letter was writ ten and published for the purpose of turning soldieis who were formerly in Rebel prisons, against General Grant.
