THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 5, 18G8. THE UOSECRAN3 MISSION. Wiiitk Sur.riii u SrniN(4, Wkst Va., Angnst 2Pth, 1W8 General: Full of solicitude for the fu ture of our country, I como with my heart In my l;aiil to lenrn tlio condition, wiwhes and Intentions of tho people of tlie Kin thorn States especially to uncertain tho sentiments of that body of bravo, energetic and self-sacrificing men who, after sus tn'.niiiK the confederacy for four years, laid down their arms and sworo Hlleul.inco to tlio (tovernraont of tlio t inted States, whoso trusted and beloved leader von have lieen. 1 sue Hint interpreting " States rights" to conflict with national unity ha produced a violent reaction Hi!:iiiiHt tlii'in, wliich Is drifting us towards consoli (iKtlon; and also that so great a country as ours even now Is, certainly is to bo, must have State governments to attend to local detnm, or go farther Hinl l:rn worse. It is plain to us at tho west and north that tho continuance of sciui-aiiarcby, such as has existed tor tlio last three years in ten States of our Union, largely increases tho danger of centralism, swells our national expenditures, diminishes our produc tions and our revenue, inspires doubts of our poli tical and financial stability, depreciates the value of our national bonds and currency, and places tho credit of the richest below that of the poorest na tion in Christendom. Wo know that our currency must be depreciated M long as our bonds are below par; and that there lore tho vast business and commerce of the country must sillier tho terrible evil of a fluctuating standard of valuo until we can remedy tho evil con dition of t' ings at the south. Wo also soo other mischief quite possible, if not probable, to arise) nu ll as from a failure of crops, a local Insurrec tion, and many other unforeseen contingencies, which may still ni ne depreciate our croilit andcur rency, provoke discontent and disorder among our people, and bring demagogical agitation, revolu tion, repudiation, and a thousand unnamed evils uud villanies upon us. Wo know that the Interests of the people of tho south are for law and order, and that thoy must share our fato of good and ill. I believe every one, I know, who reflects, be lievesthat if tlio people of tho southern States could be at pence, and their energy and good will heartily applied to repair tho wastes of war, reor gani.e their business, set tlio freedaien peacefully, prosperously and contentedly at work, invite capi tal, enterprise and labor from elsewbero to como freely amongst them, t hey would soon rebuild their ruined fortunes, multiply manifold tho value of their lands, establish public confidence In our po litical stability, bring our government bonds to a premium, our currency to a gold standard, and assure for themselves and tho whole uatiou a most bappv and prosperous future. Seeing this, ami how all just interests concur In tho work, I ask tho otlieers and soldiers who fought for tho Union ask every thinking man of the great west nud north asks why it cannot ba done' Wo aro told by those who havo controlled tho government for tho last four years that tho people of tho south will not do it that If ever done at all, It must, bo done by tho poor, simple, uneducated, landless trcedmcti, and tho few whites who, against the public opinion and sentiment of the intelligent white people, arc willing to attempt to lead, and mako their living oil' of these ignorant, lnoxperl enced colored people; mostly men who must bo needy adventurers, or without any of those attri butes on which reliance for good guidance or gov ernment can bo placed. We aro told that this kind of government must bo continued at the south until six or eight millions of intelligent, energetic white people give In to it or move out of the country. Now 1 think, the Union army thinks, and peoplo of the north and west, I dare say, believe, there must be, or there ought to be, a shorter or a surer w ay to get good government for all at tho south. AS'e know that tupy who organized and sustainod the southern confederacy for four years, against gigantic ellorts, ought to be able to give peace, law, order and protection to the whole people of the south. They have tho Interest and the power to employ, protect, educate, and elevate tlio poor freodmon, and to restore themselves and our country to all the blesnings of which I have Just spoken. Tho finest ion we want answered is, are they willing to do it? 1 camo down to find out what tho people of the fundi think of this, and to ask you what the otlieers and soldiers who served in tho confederate army, and tho leading people who sustained it, think, of these things. 1 como to ask more. I want to ask you, in whoso purity and patriotism I here express unqualified confidence, and as many good men as you can con veniently consult, to say what you think of it, and ulto, what you are willing to do about it. I want a written expression of views that can bo followed by a concurrence of action. 1 want to know if you and the gentlemen who will join in that written expression aro willing to pledge tlio people of the south to a chivalrous and magnanimous de votion to restoring peace and prosperity to our common country. I want to carry that pledgo high above tho level of party politics, to the lato officers and soldiers of the Union army, and tho people of the north and west, and to ask them to consider it, nnd to take the necessary action, confident that it will meet with a resiionso so warm, so generous and confiding that we shall see in its sunshiuo tho rain bow of peace in our political sky, now black with clouds and impending storm. I know you are a representative man, in rover enco and regard for tho Union, the Constitution and tho welfare of tho country, and that what you would say would be indorsed by nine-tenths of the whole people of the south, but I should like to havo the signatures of all tho representative southern men hero who concur in your views, and expres sions of their concurrence from the principal oflicers and representative men throughout tho south, when they can be procured. This concurrence of opinions and wills, all tend ing to peace, order and stability, will assure our Union soldiers and business mon, who want sub stantial and solid peace, and causo them to rise above the lovel of party politics, and tako such steps to meet yours as will Insure a lasting peace, With all its countless blessings. Very truly, your friend, (Signed,) W. S. IIosbohans. Gen. H. E. Loo, WhltO Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. White SuLPiicn Spiuncs, West Viimjinia, August 2G, 18C8. General: 1 have had the honor to receive your letter of this date, and, in accord ance with your suggestion, I have conferred with a number of gentlemen from the south, in whose judgment I have confided, and who are well ac quainted with tho public sontimont of their respec tive States. They have kindly consented to unite with me in replying to your communication, and their names will be found with my own appended to this answer. With this explanation wo proceed to give to you a candid statement of what we believe to be tho sentiment of tho southern people in regard to tho subject to which you refer. Whatever opinions may have prevailed in tho past in regard to African slavery, or the right of a State to secede from the Union, we believe we ex press the almost unanimous Judgment of the south ern people when we declare that they consider that those questions were decided by tho war, and that it is their intention in good faith to abide by that decision. At the close ot the war tho southern peo ple laid down their arms and sought to resume their former relations with the United States govern ment. Through their Stato Conventions they abolished slavery and annulled their ordinances of secession, and they returned to their peaceful pursuits with a sincere purpose to fulfil ail their duties under the Constitution of the United States, which they had sworn to support. If their action In these particu lars had been met in a spirit of frankness and cor diality, we believe that ere this old irritations would have passed away, and tho wounds inflicted by the war would have been in a great measure healed. As far as we aro advised, the people of the south entertain no unfriendly feeling toward the government of tho United States, but they com plain that their rights under tho Constitution are w ithheld from them In the administration thereof. Tho idea that the southern people are hostile to the negroes, and would oppress them if it were in their power to do so, is entirely unfounded. They have grown up in our midst, and we have been ac customed from childhood to look upon them with kindness. Tho change in tho relations of the two races lias wrought no change in our feelings to ward them. Thoy still constitute the important part of our laboring population. Without their labor, the lands of the south would be compara tively unproductive. Without the employment which southern agriculture altords, they would be destitute of the means of subsistence, and become paupers, dependent on public bounty. Self-interest, even if there were no higher mo tives, would therefore prompt tho whites of tho south to extend to the negroes care and protection. 'The important fact that the two races are, under existing circumstances, necessary to each other, is gradually becoming apparent to both; and we be lieve that but for influences exerted to stir up tho passions of the negroes, the relations of the two races would soon adjust themselves on a basis of mutual kindness and advantage. Jt Is true that the people of the south, togothor with the people of the north and west, are for ob vious reasons opposed to any system of laws which would place the political power of the country iu the hands of the negro race. But this opposition springs from no feeling of enmity, but from a deep seated conviction that at present the negroes have neither the intelligence or other qualifications which are necessary to make them safe depositories Of political power. They would inevitably become the victims of demagogues, who for selfish pur poses would mislead them to the serious injury of the public. Tho great want of the south is pcaco. The peo ple earnestly desire tranquillity and the restoration of the Union. They deprecate disorder and excite ment, as the most Sorioit obstacle to their pros perity. They ask a restoration of their rights under tho Constitution. They desiro relief from oppressive misrule. Above all, they would appeal to thoir countrymen for tfic re-establishment in the south ern States of that which lias Justly been regarded as the birthright of every American the right of self government. Establish these on a firm basis, and we can Miely promise, on behalf of tho southern people, that they will faithfully obey the Constitu tion anil laws of the United States, treat tho negro with kindness and humanity, and fulfil every duty Incumbent, on peaceful citizens loyal to tho Consti tution of their country. We believe the above contains a succinct reply to the general topics embraced In your letter, anil we venturo to sav, on behalf of the southern people, and of the oflicers and soldiers of tho lato confede rate army, that they will concur in all tho senti ments which we have expressed. Appreciating tho patriotic motives which havo prompted your letter, and reciprocating your ex pressions of kind regard, wo havo tho honor to be, very respectfully and truly, K. K. JjKk, Virginia. G.

Reverdy John sod, the American Minister, who was present as a guest, made his first address in England, In response to a toast of "the health of the Ameri can Minister." Mr. Johnou, after expressing tbnuks for the high honor conferred upon him, said he came to this country as a messenger of peace. He was elad, he said, to recognize everywhere in England strong proofs of friendship, aud which he wns certain was reciprocated in his native country : lor no people under the sun had America kinder feelings than her Majesty's subjects. They were really one people; hal like laws aud like institutions, and in both countries freedom was the baBe- of those laws and institutions In their joint hands liberty would live forever. Mr. Johuson reviewed briefly the causes, course, and triumphant termination of the recint civil war in America, and continued the war had this compensation, It ended slavery. None but free men now trod the soil of America, and h'story would say that all was well spent in erasing this blot, transmitted from a common ancestry, tarnishing our fame, and belying the Declaration of Independence. He then alluded to the marshaling of forces for the coming Presidential election in Ame rica, 6aying that however the present canvass ended he could personally vouch for the next President as a warm friend of England. He then alluded to HnetHeld cutlery, which he said was famous throughout tho civilized world, and spoke familiarly and encouragingly of the annual gathering of the Cutlers' Com pany. He wa-9 listened to throughout with the most marked attention aud his assurances of peaceful and friendly relations between Europa aud America were loudly applauded. London, Sept. 4. Deupaicbes have been re ceived announcing that a very serious potato not had occurred yesterday at Cork. The people assembled in the streets in great num bers, aud lor a time were very boisterous.

The Bermuda dry dock, the largest structure lor floating in the world, was successfully launched Irom a dry dock in the Thames at this city to day. London, Sept. 4. The Pall Mall Gazette this evwumg has an editorial on the subject of the Chinese treaty recently concluded with the United State s. It says that the treaty looks as if foreign merchants residing in China on the one side, and the Chinese nation, with Mr. Burlln game, on the other, were trying to neutralize each other's statements by a demand that will not bear examination, but may serve to choke oft the other sida with a mistaken opinion. Here in England we are not to be taken by storm. A liberal interchange of opinions be tween the Embassy, who are soon to sail from Mew York, and the Representatives of the English Government, will demonstrate tbe changes in tho positions of Great Britain and China, which aie demanded by the times, and which will be beneficial to both.

On presenting his credentials the Baron addressed the President as follows: His Majesty the Kmperor of Austria, King of Hun gary, my august sovmeign. having recalled (Joint Wydenureok by these letters from tho diplomatic pofit lit lias hitherto occupied In the United mates, has bten graciously pleased to ppolnt me hla Envoy Ux traurolnary and Minister Plenipotentiary in this country. In consequence I tiuve thn honor to present the credentials by which my overelgn has accredited. m In that capacity to your Rxcellency. I shall endeavor lo perform uiy duties by being a faithful Interpreter ol his sentiments to your Kxcel b ncy and the American nailou, and by continuing to develop and expand thn good and friendly relation which so happily exist between my own country and the United (States. The development ol the American Constitution aud Insulation, and the growing pros perlty or the Uulted (Hate, have been a source ef great Interest to A ttstrla, a well as that of the great Erogrfss made by my country In the Inn few years, as found manifest sympathies In th'scoantry. I hope, therefore, that these reciprocal feelings will form a new tie betweoo the two nations. The President made the following reply: "Bsron Lederer. I give you a cordial welcome to tbe lulled mates. Your sovereign, the Kiuperor of Austria and King ot Hungary, has always neon friendly to the Lulled mates, and the people over whom he presides have been uniformly kind, liberal, and generous In their appreciation of us, Your Gov ernment is now sedulously and loyally engaged In strengthening the foundation of civil and religious freetlom. We should not only be unjust to tbe Austrian people, but unfaithful to our own tradition and pilnclples, if In such a crisis we did not extend to them our frattrnal sympathy and moral support." Resistance to Civil Process. The facts in relation lo armed resistance to the process from the United States courts and United Slates commission In Lilue, Nelson, nnd Marion counties, Kentucky, show, la additioa to what has already been published on that subject, that the outrage occurred about the first of the present month. The lives of the oflicers were saved when they showed they were special and not regular deputies of Marshal Mernweather. It is stated that, in tho present condition of affairs In that part of the State, it is impossible to organize a civil posse to be of any avail. The subject being one of military cognizance, has been refened to the Secretary of War, who has taken prompt aotion in the premises. lie will be governed by the opinion of the Attorney-General, addressed to the Mar shal of Florida on the 20th ult., and applied to this case namely, that the law gives the Mar shal the power to command all necessary assist ance in the execution of a process within his district, and that the military are not exempt from the obligation to obey, in common with all others, his summons in esse of necessity.

A large Democratic mass meeting was held at Waynesboro yesterday, which was addressed by Generals Toombs, Wright, and other Democrats. The meeting was very enthusiastic throughout. It is believed the programme is to eject all objectionable persons from the Legislature, and that the expulsion will not be confined to negro members, but be extended to many whites, who, it is charged, are not eligible. The Democrats are very bitter against that class, whom thev term "scalawags" and "carpet-baggers," and "are determined to unseat all against whom charges are proved. It Is now evident that the Democrats can do what they please in the Legislature, the radicals being entiiely powerless in the lower House, and not able to hold their own iu the Seuatc The negro Bradley Is out as an independent can didate for Congress from the First District,' against Clift, the regular nominee. It is believed that Bradley will be elected If he runs. Turner (negro) is spoken of for the candidate for Congress In tho Fourth District. The He publicans are working hard for Grant and Colfax. Negroes are being organized Into Democratic clubs in various parts of the State. In the cities and towns the negroes are strong radicals, but in the interior they will be con trolled by the Democrats. From Arkansas.

An applicant for registration Is also required to prove his innocence by evidence satisfactory to the Kegister that he has not been guilty of a number of specified acts during a series of years, one of which is that he did not sympathize with the rebel lion. If he fails to establish this, be cannot regis ter his oath to tho contrary notwithstanding, un less he voted for tho present constitution, lr the Register is satisfied, or thinks he ought not be re gistered, and before being allowed to register, ho must subscribe to an oath setting forth that he ac cepts civil and political equality of all men, and agrees not to attempt to make any changes.

By oar advertising columns it will be seen that anew feature is about to be introduced in the North Broad Street Presbyterian Church service. The pastor, Rev. Dr. Strjker, who is a great friend of the children, proposes to-morrow afternoon and the afternoon of tbe first Sabbath in each month to preach a sermon to the children. This will be a regular church service, and we have no doubt will prove very popular.
