BELLEFONTE, PA., FRIDAY, APRIL 2R, 1865. A TRUE PICTURE OF THE WAR Lertell FROM /14,1241" Cl/..14 WILAN- To theAlitor of the New Yurk News. —A letter has been published iu numer ous western papers purporting to have been written by myself to Mrs. Judge goirie, of the city of Chicago, earnestly pressing,the claims of peace upon the aftenpon of the country. The publication of pri;ate letters without the permission of the author or the person addeesod is a representative sample of the change which has succeeded to the change of morale of till! qubappy country,. It those who trespass upon the uniyeisally reeog., nized auleuilkes of social life are satisfied with the'new style of erilAlitation inaugura ted by themselves, I am krfectly content that tlio publio then know eter;, (Ling Jhat I wit or speak, or think, or do, 'which either their impatience or curiosity may prompt them to criticize. If to love vac° Tioic Ilir.ll ivar is a crime, then I out a crintitvil.

If it be the true character of Chri!itianity to turn hundreds of thousands of innocent women, and helpless children away from the pinee that gave them birlh, to starve among strangers, or abandon 'themselves to crime, to lay waste whole countries indis criminately leveling down !loosed, orchards and groves, to bump churches, degroy land mat ks, batter down tombstones, ravish womtn, st : irveand tort ore prisondrs, avengq the spite of imbecile and corrupt patittetans upon the helpless victims of tnilitstry cruel ty, then I confess mys, Jr an unbeliever. If to deface paintings, destroy libraries, and to give to the 3ames the 'improvements of the fine arts of ages lost in the past be act Vandalism, then I ar.. a Vandal. If it be boneet to ride in bi;Aen carriage", dril en by isolen horses, by teen dreffs'sed in cluthtti, acconipoined by wiven, 16- daughters, and mothers,. clothed in stolen silks, adorned with stolen jewelry, and enriched with money stolen float the coffers of ruined families, drinking et. olen wines, and eating stolen viands with stolen spoons out of stolen dishes, sitting down on stolen emirs, and dining off of stolen tables with stolen cloths, ileeping on stolen beds, and tanking merry and dancing to Music made upon stolen pianos, melodeons, and organs, arranging their toilet before stolen mirrors, then I am not honest. . If it is patriotism to destroy the honor of the country, to heap infamy upon the iut• mortal names of a glorious ancestry, to aClLlttillAdit our institutions in the eyes of every country where the linglish language is used so the *chicle of thought, then 1 am Rot a patriot. If briit al barbarity ,in the only. means of making men love each other, and despotism is the only bond of union, and force the only true interpretation of consent, then I shall be forever a disunist, until I am convinced that liberty means slavery, and rape be comes the necessary prelude to marriage. A firm believer is du; supreme power and obligation of the christain religion over men and nations, I cannot but place peace above every gopsideration of_goin . - quest. I was in laver peace and union—of peace because it mould preserve our union ; of the union, because it would make our peace perpetual. Hut it is fir better to have peace and separation titan war and separation, because two nations at war ale fir legs de,irable than two nations at wee; and a peaceable settlement, wills separation, opens up a brighter hope far re-union and verpetual union, than there possibly eau be i in the continuance of the war. Dut, us it now is, we have separation, practical 'nitr ous and revolting, cud war, with all Its hor rors. This is my conviction, aflet the most tho'rough examination or the doctrines of our government, the moat careful study of the laws of nations ; and the most impar tial examination of sacred and profane his., tory, ancient and modern, c?nfirnied by the events of the last four years. It is now the duty of the ...tmerictri people openly, boldly to take immediate measures fur the speedy return V.perace, ' 'Ads 'is the pre-enduent duty ordination freemen and democrats. It matters but very littlelfor the flna: set tlement of affairs who provoked the war, who commenced hostilities, who was in chief fault. That a great wrong has been committed, halo argument for its repetition or perpetuity. Tt has gone on long enough;' tr has made us bankrupt, has left our churches without religion, our cdurts with; out either justice or law, society without morale, and the country in anarchy. The longer it continues the worse it will be. The war is singularly Unjust, the men who make war are alwayp Unwilling to partici pate in Its battles, its losses and. sufferings, and the poor men who loose their lives ha l the conflict are simply so much stook in tho trade pf contractors mho riot in wealth, while the families of soldiers the aged and young are destitute of food, raiment, and shelter. The market places are filled with meo.buying, selling, bartering, trading in human blood aud human souls, saluting you at every corner of the street with men for Sale. Poor men are sold like Attie • only the slob hop themselves. clear.

Of all crimes oonlmitted in the annals of man, this war is the greatest that the, sun has lifted his light upon since be refused to shine upon the Crucifixionsof his Maker. It is a war of brothers to deMrofthe fain ily 'of Americans, to soffp/aut them with ne gro barbarians and Eusepoith criminals.. It is a war among rational iTiCh to destroy rea son in tho administration of government. It is a waramong the npo.iles of missions to frighten ihe heathen world at the very presence at missionaries wherever they may be neM. Upon principle, in the four of Ood, and tho love of country have I lifted ❑iy voice agaiimt this crime of , slaughter, of horrid..; and pillage, and sorrow.

My own child was shot at the instigation of the apostles of war, by vagabond boys, who were indicted, and re" leased simply because the child wail the son of a democrat. I have been myself confined in a loath some prison and treated with a brutality unknown to any *civilized country, from the effects of which I am yet severely Buttering. My neice, Mrs. Elizabeth Butcher, ,was driven from her house shortly after the death of her husband, and while in feeble health. She was making her way out of it. Iler house was iiet on fire by a commander of federal two, and - >their , little dog turn from the lap of her child, svAtl cast tutu the flames. The front door of my own house is filled with shot, which attest the malice en gendered in a partisan war by persons with whom I have never lied one unkind word. I here append a letter from detet.as the finishing stroke of sorrow. " Dear Uncle and Aunt: Papa has receiv e'. your kind letter, but has failed to answer it Ile has not been in a proper frame of mind to compose IL letter, for we have had sore troubles and afilietiuns. Boon after the receipt, of your letter my sister came dmidu and brought the roeltinaoly news of my brother Itundulph's murder. Ile was mur dered...lna:old blood by ten federal militia, on the 22d tray of November, 1861. Dear Cu ele—l need not tell you that it was shocking to us all.

Ilis wife has been sick and nearly crazy ever sitter. My sic? ter's family have been robbed by soldiers of about $100." Mercy and humanity are dead, and jus tice is asleep ; and it seems that it will never more awake in this unhappy country. But the God of justice and mercy still reign's, and he lot said that "all will work together for good to-those that rove and serve him," and I believe it. All people of Heathen' sympathies, and especially Americans, are ordered to leave the State. In full view of these facts, which are - but the truly drawn photographs of a ruined, blood-stained countff►.how could 1 he other than the friend of peace ?
