Major General L. S. A,

Mr.. WM Il. SrEER, of Tennessee, who has
Just been appointed n Brigader General to
aid in organizing a Union Government in
that State, writes to the n. Y. TriJune from
his peculiar stand point, as follows. His
views are worthy of consideration:
IL DO not write often for the press, and
while am mt it, l want to whisper a word in
thine ear-in thine especially. 1t is this:
Let slavery alone till this war be over.
detest slavery as much AS you or Cha les Sum.
ne,-pcrhaps more, for have passed all my
life in the very midst Of it.. We Union men
South are willing taht slavery shall take the
legitimate consequence Of tho war, that, in
50 far as nggers are in the way of suppresSing
the rebellion, nggers must be put out of the
way; that slavery shall perish, rather than
Union and Liberty. But
But we Southern Unionists can never agree
that slavery shall be abolished, and yet mig
gers net be removed from among us. You
advocate free niger barbalanism for the
South. "No, more o'that, Hal, and thou
west usl'
"Three propositions are cl ar to my mind
First-the abolition II slavery at this time by
any means is an absolute impossibty. Sec
on1--The advocacy Of an indiscriminate abo,
lition of slavery through the South 10y loyal
presses and Congressman tends only to sre1g
then the rebellion by infuriatng and enlarg
ing its sollicry, and driving oth,rw,se good
Union men from the support OF tho Admin
istration. And tEird-An attempt 10y the
Federal Government TO abolish slavery gen
erally will be a virtual procl" nation ct endless
dissolution, the death-knell OF the Republic;
for the simple reason that you can never con.
ouer a consolidated South with divided
North. With the North unit and tho
South divided we have our hands full. Re-
verse til, position and tho case would be hope
less.
mo; the business now before us is to put
down the rebellion; punish the rebels by con
fiscation, banishmeut or death, restore the
Union; re-estabish,,he Constitutions; enforce
the and uufurl the National banner from all the
ramparts Of the Republic, as in the time gone
by. Is il not our Union, our country, our
Constitution, and laws and flag, as much as
you,s! Are you waring on the South or the
rebels that are in iti'

With what has been said concerning the
situation of affairs in Missouri, a glance at the

point which first demanded attention. The

able, while the loss Of Springfield, should our
army be compelled to fall back upon Rolla,
would only carry with it the loss Of part Of
Mssouri-a loss greatly to be regretted, but
not irretrievable. Having reinforced Cape
Girardeau aud Ironton by the utmost exer.
tons, succeeded in getting together and EN-
barking with force Of $500 men five days
after my arrival in st. Louis.

An while examining INTO the conduct and
events Of the war, | think it right to call the
attention of our Committee to the fact that n
Committee charged to investigate frauds
came into Department which was under
martial law, in tho midst OF civil disscnsions
encouraging iusubordiuation, discrediting aud
weakening the authority Of the Commanding
General then absent in the field, and | offer
testimony to show that their conduct while at
st. Louis created public opinion that their
special object was to make out case against
myself which should justify my removal from
that Department. See page 10 of that re.
port. And | offer testimony to show that
they avoided and declined to receive, and have
suppressed, testimony which initiated against
this object and further to show that there are
in their report many inaccuracies and prever
sions and some positive falsehoods.
The labores Of the Investigating Committee
appear to have resulted in a single resolution
in which the purchase Of certain arms by my
self is made a prominent subject. With res
pect to the sale cf these arms by tho Govern.
meut, have nothing to say. They were
new, aud | am told wcrc sold without being
condemned. The contract price at which
they were bought by the Government was, |
believe, $l7 80. Tho price at which they
are set down in the Ordnance Manuel is S2l
After they had been rned and otherwise im-
proved, ] purchased them at S22. Taking
into consideration the advance in price Of
arms, caused by the war, | submit that the
purchase is not deserving Of special ccnsure.
