They keep a standing army in ten States, to overawe their citizens and control their elections, and say : "Give us peace." Under loud professions of retrenchment and economy* they are enriching their favorites, — there- by increasing the national debt, by millions, every month, in times ot profound peace and enormous taxation. They white wash their infamous negro equality doctrines, by telling you they are not iu favor of it, but ask you to vote with them for the men who vote for it, at every time and "place, when and where they have the power to establish it.

THE SENTIMENT OF THE SOUTH. The Correspondence Between General Rosecrans and General Lee at the Wrote Sulphur Springs. The following is the correspondence be- tween General liosecraus and the promi- j ncnt Southerners at the White Sulphur Springs : GEN. ROSECRANS TO GEN. LEE. I WHITE SILFHIR SPRINGS, 1 WEST VIRGINIA, Aug. 2d, lßt>B. ) GENERAL : Full of solicitude for the fu ture of our country, I come with my heart in my hand to learn the condition, wishes, and intentions of the people of the i i Southern States ; especially to ascertain the sentiments of that body of brave, en- j eigetic, and self-sacriticing men who, after I sustaining the Confederacy for four years, 1 laid down their arms and swore allegiance :to the Government of the United States, I whose trusted and beloved leader you have been. 1 see that interpreting " State Rights " to conflict with national unity has produc- j ed a violent reaction against them, which is drifting lis towards consolidation, and . also that so great a country as onrs even ! now* is, certainly is to be, must have State ! governments to attend to local deiails, or go farther and fare worse It is plain to us at the West and Noith that the con | tinuance of semi-anarchy, such as has ex istid for the last three years in ten States ol our Union, largely increases the danger l of centralism, swells our national cxpen j ditures, diminishes our productions, and our revenue, inspires doubts of our polili- J cal and financial stability, depreciates the | value of our national bonds and currency, and places the credit of tlie richest below i that of the poorest nation in Christendom. We know that the currency must be de i predated as long as our bonds are below* par, and that therefore the vast business 5 and commerce of the country must suffer the terrible evil of a fluctuating standard of value until we can remedy the evil con- I dition of things at Ihe South. We also , see otln r mischief quite possible, if not probable, to arise, such as from the fail— ! ure of crops, a lceal insuirection, and many other unforeseen contingencies which may* still more depreciate our credit and currency, provoke discontent and dis order among our people, and bring dem agogical agitation, revolution, repudiation, ai<d a thousand unnamed evils and villain ies upon us. We know that the interests of the people of the South are for law and order, and that they must share our fate of good and til. I believe—every one I know who re flects believes—that if trie people of the Southern States could be at peace, and their energy and good-will heartily ap plied to repair the wastes of war, reorgan ize their business, set the freedmen peace i fullv, prosperously and contentedly at work ; invite capital, enterprise and labor i from elsewhere to come freely amongst them, they would soon rebuild their ruin— ' ed fortunes, multiply many fold the value of their lands, establish public contidence in our political stability, bring our govern ment bonds to premium, our currency to a gold standard, and assure for themselves and the whole nation a most liappv and prosperous future. Seeing this, and how all just interests concur in the work. I ask | the officers and soldiers who fought for the Union, as every thinking man of the great West and North asks, why it cannot be idone ? We are told by those who have con trolled the Government for the past four years, that the people of the South will not do it. That if ever done at all. it must be done by the poor, simple, nncdu cated, landless freedmen, and the few whites who. against the public opinion and sentiment of the intelligent, white people i are willing to attempt to lead, aud make ' their living off of these ignorant and in | experienced colored people, mostly men who mint be needy adventurer*, or with out any of those attributes on which reli ance tor good guidance or government can be placed, We are told that this kind of government must be continued at the South until six or eight millions of intelli gent, energetic white people give n to it or move out of the country. Now I think, the Union army thinks, and people ot the North and West, I daresay, believe, there must be, or there ought to be, a shorter, a surer way to get good government for all at the South. v\ c know that they who organized and sustained the Southern Confederacy four years agaiust gigantic ef forts, ought be able to give peace, law, or der and protection to the whole people of the South. They have the interest and power to employ, protect, educate and ele vate the poor freedmen, and restore them selves and our country to all the blessings of which 1 havejnst spoken. The ques tion we want answered is— 44 Arc they willing to do it ? ' I came down to find out what the peo ple of the South think of this, Hrid to ask you what the officers and soldiers who served in the Confederate army, and the leading people who sustained it, think of these things. I came to ask more. I want to ask you, in whose purity and patriotism I here ex press unqualified confidence, and as many good men as you can conveniently con sult, to say what you think of it, and also what you are willing to do about it. I want a written expression of views that can he followed by a concurrence of ac tion, I want to know if you, and the gen tlemen who w ill join in tne written ex pression, are willing to pledge the people of the South to a ciuvalrou* and magnani mous devotion to restoring peace and pros perity to our common country. I want to carry that pledge high above the level of party polities, to the late officers and sol dier* of the Union army and the people of the North and West, and to ask them to consider it and to take the necessary ac tion, confident that it w ill meet with a re sponse so warm, so generous and confiding that wc shall see in its sun-bine the rain bow of peace in our political sky, now black with clouds and impending storm, I know you are a representative man ; in reverence and regard for the Union, the C onstitution and the welfare of the country, and that what you would say would be indorsed by nine tenths of tin whole people of the South ; but I should like to have the signature of all the repre sentative .Southern men here, who concur in your views, and expressions of their concurrence from the principal officers and representative men throughout the South, when they can he procured. This concur rence of opinions and wills, all tending to peace, older and stability, w ill assure our Union so diers and business men, who want substantial and solid peace, ail I cause them to arise above the level of parlv politics and take such steps to meet yours as will insure a lasting peace, with all its countless blessings. Very truly your friend. ( Signed ) W. S. IiOSECRANS. General H. E. Lee, White Sulphur Springs West Virginia. HIE REI'LY. W iiirE SULPHUR SPRINGS, WEST ) VA., August 26, 186 S. GENERAL : 1 have had the honor to re ceive y our letter of this date, and in ac cordance with your suggestion 1 have con ferred with a number of gentlemen from the South, in whose judgment I have con tided, and who are well acquainted with the public sentiment of their respective States. They have kindly consented to unite with ine in replying to your commu nication, and their names will be found with my own appended to this answer. With this explanation we proceed to give to vou a candid statement of what we believe to be the sentiment of the Southern people in regard to the subject to which you refer. Whatever opinions have prevailed in the past in regard to African slavery; or the right ot a State to secede from the I'nion, we believe we express the almost unanimous judgment of the Southern people when we declare that they consid er that those questions were decided bv the war, and,tliat it is their intention in good faith to abide by that decision. At the close of the war the Southern people laid down their arms, and sought to re sume their former relations with the United States Government. Through their State Conventions they abolished slavery and annulled their ordnances of secession ; and thev returned to their peaceful pur suits with a sincere purpose to fulfil all their duties under the Constitution of the United States, which they had sworn to suppoit. If their action in these particu lars had been met in a spirit of frankness and cordiality, we believe that ere this old irritations would have passed away, and the wounds inflicted by the war wou d have been in a great measure healed. As far as wc are advised, the people of the South entertain no unfriendly feeling toward the Government of the United States, but they complain that their rights under the Constitution are withheld from them in the administration thereof. The 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 accus tomed from childhood to look upon them with kindness. The change in the rela tions of the two races has wrought no change in our feelings toward them They still constitute the important part of our laboring population. Without their labor, the lands of the South would be '•omparatirely unproductive. Without the emplo\ment which Southern agricul ture a fluids, they would be destitute of the means ot subsistence, and become paupers, dependent on public bounty. Self respect, even if there were no high er motives, would therefore prompt the whites of the South to extend to the ne groes care and protection. Ihe impor tant fact that the two races are, under ex i-ting circumstances, necessary to each other, is gradually becoming apparent to both ; and we believe that but for influ - enccs exerted to stir up the passions of the negroes, the relations of the two races would soon adjust themselves on a basis of mutual kindness and advantage. It is true that the people of the South together with the people of the North and West, are for obvious reasons opposed to any system of laws which would place the political power of the country in the hands of the negro race. l>ut this opposi tion springs from no feeling of enmity, but from a deep seated conviction that at pres ent the negroes have neither the intelli gence or other qualifications which are necessary to make them safe depositories of political power. They would inevita bly become the victims of demagogues, who for selfish purposes would mislead them to the serious injury of the public. The great want of ihe South is peace. The people earnestly desire tianquility and the restoration of the Union. They depreciate disorder and excitement as the most serious obstacle to their prosperity. They ask a restoration ot theii rights under the Coustitntiqn. They desire re lief from oppressive misrule. Above all, tlicy would appeal to their countrymen for the re-establishment in the Southern States of that which has justly been re garded as the birth-right of every Ameri can—the right of self-government- Es lahli-h these on a fiim basis, and we can safely promise, on behalf of the Southern people, that thev will faithfully obey the Constitution and laws of the United States, treat the negro with kindness, and buinaui ty, and fulfil every duty incumbent on peaceful citizens, loyal to the Constitution of their country. We believe the above contains a suc cinct replv to the general topics embraced in your letter, and we venture to say, or. behalf of the Southern people, and of the officers and soldiers of the late Confederate HI my, that they will concur in all the sen timents which we have expressed. Appreciating the patriotic motives which have prompted your letter, and reciproca ting your expressions of kind regard, we have the ho ior to be, Very rt-spectlully and truly, K. E. LEE. Virginia. G.

We give below an exposition of the I character of the Radical military secret so ■ ciety. which has been organized for the j purpose of overthrowing the liberties of the people. The attention of the Govern— i ment has lecently been called to the trea sonable character of the organization known as the "Grand Army of th; Republic," and J the ritual, oath, Ac., have been discovered and are now in the possession of the detec tives. The oath of the Supreme Com- j mandery, which we print b low, is of a most hurt id and revolting character, and j should op n the eyes of all men who still j cling to the Constitution and a Republican form of Government. Concerning the character of the lower degrees, we are fur- • nisht d the following: "The "Cost" is the initiatory degree in this order, and here the rite ot initiation j is very simple. In order to delude those j wiio have been in the service of the United j States into joining them, the statement is j made that the G A. R. is not of a political character and that its object is only to pro mote the interest of those who were in the annv. Rut upon initiation the novice is obligated to vole for a soldier as against a civilian, unless otherwise instructed hv the order, which means that in case a Radical civilian is a candidate for office against a Democratic soldier, the order will instruct members to vote for the civilian. Thus the " I'ost" is used as a political machine, and as ibis under the control of the Su preme Commandery, this subordinate i branch is subject to military duty under the orders of tbe upreme Commander. — This, however, is studiously concealed from | the knowledge of the members of the "l'ost,' ' and so are many other things which are j deemed safe only in the breasts of the | members of the higher degrees. Only those who have risen to the grade of "Rrigadier Generals" in the order, can take the highest degree, and only on taking the following oath: " 1, , in the presence of Al mighty God and upon his Holy Evangely, ! do solemnly swear that I will bear true al | legiance to the American Nation, that 1 i will leeognize all men wi'bout distinction j ot race or color as my political equals, and that I will oppose and stand ready, at all hazards to a>Mst in abrogating, or if need , be, in overturning, all laws, under what euer name, not in harmony with this doc tiine of equality; and I furthermore swear that 1 will, at all times and under all cir- , j eumstances, favor the concentration of pow er in the Federal Government and oppose 1 the idea of reserved rights rosining in the | States, or in the people; and I furthermore swear that 1 will resist, to the extent of my I power, even if it should require the sac rifice of my life itself, the continuance of the State R ghts theory in the policy of the Government of the United States; and in I token cf my sincerity, I hereby announce 1 my willingness to submit to the extreme j penalty, even death, which this order may I choose to inflict upon me, if at any time I i should prove unfaithful to this, my oath of loyalty. So help me God and keep me : true."' Thus are the revolutionary and treason able purposes of this oath bound conspir- I acy unveiled It can scarcely be possible that any soldier, who fought for the pres i eivation of the Constitution, which this or ! der seeks to subvert, will continue in fel lowship with it, after learning its atrocious ! designs. We call upon all who are mem ! bers of the inferior degrees, those who have united themselves with various " l'ost" throughout the country, whether they are Republicans or Democrats, to at once dis engage themselves from the snaro iuto which they have been led. Come out ! Leave this revolting and revolutionary cabal, and dbdaui to be the tools of the con spir.itors who seek to make you their in | strumeuts iu overthrowing your own, as 1 well as the public liberty.— Exchange. The Power of Music. The following from the N. Y. Journal of Music will be read with interest by the many friends and acquaintances of Trof. T. E. Perkins, in this vicinity : u One evening sometime since, as Mr. Theodore E. Perkins was sitting in the room of the Howard Mission, New York, conversing with the liev. Van Meter, they were interrupted by a wild looking man, who exclaimed : 1 M ls Awful Gardener here ?"' "No," replied Mr. Van Meter, M Then," exclaimed the man in accents of despair, lam lost. If Awful Gardener was here he could save me. He'd know how becuse lie's been the same road; but now I'm lost !" ar.d drawing a bowie knife from under his vest, he was about to plunge it into his bosom, when Mr, an Meter sprang forward and caught his aim. Seeing.that it would be useless to attempt to wrest the knife from his grasp, Mr. Van Meter sought to distract the man's atten tion from bis suicidal purpose; but the un fortunate crest ure was seized with a fit of delirium tremeus and became unmanage able. Mr. Perkins, not knowing what eles to do sat down to the melodeon and began to play and si'igi nme ye disconsolate. The effect was magical. The man was sufficiently calm for Mr. \an Meter to march hiin up and down the room, while Mr. Perkins continued to play and sing From "Gome ye disconsolate," be struck into "Jesus, to Thy dear arms I flee." The effect was stili marked. After singing that beautiful hymn, Mr. Peikins commenced "Flee as a bird to your mountain." As the strain of ibis exquisite composition filled the room, the maniac paused, sat down, covered bis face with bis hands, and sob - bed like a child—or rather like a broken hearted, remorseful man. By this time, Mrs. Van Meter, who was present when the man first hurst into the room, came in with a bowl of strong Cofl'ee which she had thoughtfully made, and as soon as the weeping stranger b- came sufficiently com posed, she gave it to him. That quieted liis nerves and renewed bis strengh, and in a little while he became completely re stored to the possession of bis faculties. "Who is this man ?' was the question which rose spontaneously to the lips of his deliverers. All tfforls to Ascertain who he was proved fruitless, lie presistently re fused to give bis name, or to furnish any clue to his residence or iudentity. Mr. Perkins accompanied him to the St. Nich olas hotel, were lie took a room under an assumed name. But in bis conversation be had chanced to mention a clergyman living in Newport R. 1., whom Mr. Van Meter knew. The latter immediately wrote to the clergyman, stating the cae, and ask ing him to come to llie city. The clergy man came bv the first boat, and was taken at once to the hotel, where th-y fortunate ly found the poor man. The clergyman kr.ew bim well. He was a neb resident of the city of Hartford, (,'onn . highly connect ed, a married man, and the father of sever al children. On coming into bis patrimo nv, he fell into dissipation, and the result is indicated in the foregoing sketch. Hut bis day of salvation bad coine. The cler gyman took bim back to Hartford, lie threw off the thraldom to rum which had degraded him. He took bis former posi tion in society; and be is now living in llarttord, a respected Christian man, and affording in his own peis >n and history the most remarkable instance of the tiiumph of music over delirium that Las ever come to our knowledge." Who Did It ? It was the party that now asks you to support GRANT and COLFAX, that repeat ed the tonage tax on the Pennsylvania Railroad, and thereby robbed the taxpayers of the state over six millions of dollars. It was the party that asks you to sup- j port GRANT and COLFAX, that sold the public works to the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., and thus placed the peopleofthe States , at the uicrcy of that soulless corporation. It was the men who now support GRANT, 1 that said, when secession was first talked of, i '•let the South go, we can get along better ! without it than with it," an I who called the Hag of our country a "flaunting lie," a "polluted rag." It was the party that now asks you to suppor GRANT, that caused the war, and after they had it inaugurated, robbed the j soldiers who enlisted in it, and taxed their j families left at home. It was the party that now asks yon to support GRANT that hired soldiers for Gold j ami compelled them to take greenbacks— j that f-d them on rotlon herring, clothed | them in shoddy and gave them paper sohd shoes to wear. It was the party that now asks you to | support GKANT, that told you the war was waged "only for the restoration of the Un ion," and now when the war is over pre vents the Union from being restored. It was the party, that now asks you to support GRANT, that established National Ranks for the benefit of the rich, and by which the laboring men of the country are j robbed annually of over eighteen millions of dollars. It was the party that now asks you to support GRANT that concocted the infa- 1 mous bond scheme, by which the wealthy \ men of the country are exempted from tax i aticu, and the poor—the farmers, mechan- ; • ica, and the. laboring men —made slaves i to bond-holders. It was the party, that now asks you to j support GRANT, that gave tax exempted i bonds to tbe rich f<.r greenbacks, and now says that these bonds must be redeemed iu i gold. It was the party in power that establish ed, and now maintains, the negro bureau, to feed and clothe the negro population of j the &iuth at an expense to the laboring white men ofthe North, of forty millions of ! dollars annually. It is the party that asks you to support i GRANT, that keeps a standing army in times of peacs, to attend to niggers and Bureau ollicers, at an expense of one hun dred and fifty millions o) dollars per year. It is the party that a.-ks you to support j GRANT, that has made the public debt what i it is, and increases it at the rate of fen mil lions of dollars per month. It is the party that asks you to support GRANT, that makes the expenses of the Government/ice hundred millions of dol- Urn per year. W hen the Democracy cot. trolled, the expenses amounted to bi eighty million* per annum.
