 Except to the parties 10 whom they were written the letters are uninteres sting aside from the information they give Us as to the number and character of the troops under Hunter.- Their numbers are given at from 6j,000 to 75 900, and one of the writers states that they had 2t0 pieces of artillery. At one time they were within thirty miles of Price, and expected 8 battle next day. That night they were told by their officers that news had inst come that Manassas was taken and the federal flag was waving over Richmond. This lie was told to encourage their men, but one of the letter wri ters says he thought it was too good to be true. Extravagant stories of federal victories were abundant in camo, and one fellow writing of the battle at Oak Hills, says their loss was 300 aud ours 5000! Yet they evidently dreaded an encounter aud when writing of the probability of battle, they all agree 1t would be a terrible one, and straghtway grow sentimental, begging to be remembered, and all that sort of thing Truly these Tanks are an incomp mprehensible set of beings, and their resemblance to he Chi nrse becomes more apparent the closer their characters are studied.

Ggx. PRICE NOT SUPERsEDED.--Some of our contemporaries have manifested premature regret and indignation at the unofficial announcement that Gen. Price had been superseded in his con- mand of the Missouri f,rces. Severe reflections against the President were indulged in on ac- count of the rumor, and we confess that our fears too were somewhat excited but we post poned any expression of feeling until oficialin' formation on the subject could be received, not withstanding the positive announcements made Tn the Richmond papers, giving currency to the report. W-e are now gratfed to be able to nreseu. the Presidents e~g contradiction of the report in the following dispatch:
 DicHMoND, Dec. 3, 1861. To MAJsW. A. BROADwELL:
 "rbe rumor that General Price will be sup erceded is false, ifnot malignant. II have not re- ceived tender of Missouri troops, and conse- quently have no power to ike appointments for them, or to control their ursanlzatlon.

We are also informed that the Governor was Jtifcd several days be- fore he issued the certificate of election that there was an error committed by the clerk in certifying the vote of Arkansas county.

A Coop REsuLr.-We understand that Sc
 venty. five of the men brought to this city from Searcy county few days S.nce, up3a charge of belonging to conspiracy supposed 10 De
 formed for reasonable purposes, were given the privilege of volunteering for three years in the confederate service, which ,hey giadl ' accepted. They elected officers from outside ot their ranks; gord and true men from their own county. who had accomp panied them here as guards to pre- vent their escape This m Jle of dspo:ns or these men, whether done through the Instruueh. tality of the Governor or the Military Board
 vas q humane, and we think, a wise otrp muca better than to have hung them a. has been sug gested. The evidence against these men was simply that they were members of 9 secret or ganization. and the m )st of them were so igno- rant that they did not know what the objects of it were The sinister designs of the leaders were evidently not known to the body of the members The alacrity with which they voun teered and pledged themselves to support and fight for the Confederacy, is an evidence th'.t
 hey were not badly corrupted or tainted win reasonable designs. We are glad to note this result of the matter from the fact that sensation articles written and published here have been copied all over the country and doubtIe'ss gone into the newspap pers of our enemies, giving this movement the character of an insurrection or rebellion az 4nst our government, when really and in truth, not one man in ten appears to have known the ulterior designs of the organization, and became members of it thr,ugh motives of patriotism and a desire 10 protect heir homes.

YANKEE LETTERs.-Mr Thomas E. Lewis. of this city, has placed us under obligations to him, by handing Us a package of letters taken by our troops from the federal post office at Springfield, Mo-, and which were sent to him by friend. There are a dozen or so of letters written by the officers and soldiers of the fede raj army to their friends or families in the northwestern States.
 The envelopes aod letter paper are embe-
 lined with col ,red pictures and emblems. One of these is a picture of company of soldiers with very blue jackets and very red trpwsers, in front of tall gallows, on which the figure of man is suspended. Over the gallows is the name Jeff Davis, and underneath are tue words '' He shall wlve.' There are faqs shields, portraits of Ellsworth, Lyon and Ere mont, and some very poor attempts at carica turing. The styles of these letters, with one or twJ exceptions, are decidedly low Prof;4ne swearing is an abundant element in them.- Southern patriots are termed rebels and secesh, but there is generally an expetve which be- gins and ends with the letter q, placed before these worls. II the letters before us are an average specimen Of the, literary abilities Of Lincolns soldiers, we unhesitatingly assert that the polite art of letter writing Is but little un- derstood by that class. They begin by stating that the writer takes his pen in hand to inform them that he is in good health, and hopes the letter may find, etc. The or'hography is as original as Rcctor's, and the love letters, like the Governor message to the convention, have poetica quotations. One Isaac Chance writing to his inamorato, Mss Mary C. Achors, bursts into poetry in the following astonishing style:

people, The whole people, without regard to
parties or sections, will be able 10 COM
mand settlement of The national difficult
ties, and will sac the prorriety Of having
cessation Of present Rosiiiiies so that the
measures of pacificdiion which your WIS:
dom may devise, can be calmly considered
by your constitutional authorities.
We venture to suggest, for your consid-
GRAFTON and action, two specific propositions
as most likey.sto lead 10 pacifcaiion.
ls,. That Congress shall at once propose
such constitutional amendments as will Sc
cure TO shareholders their legal rights. and
alay their apptehensions in regard TO pos
sible Entertainments in the future.
ID /: this should fail to bring about the
res ults SO desirable to us. and so essential
TO the best hopes OF our country, then let a
voluntary convention be called, composed
OF delegates IRON The people Of all the States
in which measures Of peaceable adjustment
may be devised and adopted, and the ma
tion rescued from the continued horrors
and calamities Of civil war.
To our fellow citizens of The North, we
desire 10 say, discard that sectional and I'M
friendly spirit, manifested by teaching and
action, which has contributed so much TO
infame the feelings of the Southern people
and justly create apprehension on their
part of injury to them.
To our fellow citizens of the South we
desire to say: Though we nave been great
ly injured by your precipitate action, We
would not now reproach you as the cause
Of that injury, but we entreat you 10 re ex-
anime the question Of the necessity for
such action. and if you find that il has been
taken without due consideration, as we yer
lily believe, and that the evils you sppre-
bend from continuance in the Union were
neither so unavoidable as you supposed, or
that Congress is willing 10 grant adequate
securities. then we pray you 10 return
promptly 10 your connection with US, that
we may he in the future, as We have been
in the past. one great. powerful and pros
porous nation.
Indications have already been afforded
that Divine power is ready 10 in,erpose
and prevent brethren from slaushtering
each other. While the bombardment OF
Fort Sumpter continued, no life was lost
When prOvidential interposi,ion was no
longer neededdo prevent the effusion of
blood in civil strife, several lives were lost
in the performance of mere ceremony
We would invoke the presence and aid Of
that Power 10 preserve cur fellow citizens,
on both sides, from slaughter, and we would
commit the interests o. our distracted eoun-
Try 10 His hands who can bring forth peace
aud order out of strife and confusion when
mans wisdom utterly fails.
