Gen. Rcsecrans on the Crisis.

The following is an extract from letter
written by Gen. w. S. Rosecraps, at the
headquarters of the army of the Mississ-
ippi, July 10th. 1862. Gen. Rosecrans
is a Catholic, and a devout believer in the
testimony Of Gregory XVI, concerning
the ''hatefulness and wickedness of human
slavery" Gen. r., says: 2:
"For more than year we have been
engaged in this struggle, into which an
arrogant and dictatorial slave oligarchy
has driven free, happy and peaceful
people, fighting for the rights of all:
With true bravery and inyincible patience,
our citizen soldiers have stood on this
ground to the present moment, against
violators Of the laws Of war and humanity,
Remaining true to their principles, they
have said by words and actions TO their fell
low citizens in the South, we light for
common rights. If we win, you win. If
the Government is maintained, you will
dwell under its protecting shadow as freely
as we And there we stand, and thus we
say to-day.
"But if the Confederates prevail, fare
we'll peace and safety to US; farewell
freedom, forever, Their principles and
leaders are known to US. They cheated
as crying out no coercion holding ont
false hopes and deceitful assurances isof
friendly regard, while, assassin-like, they
were preparing to destroy our geyerameqt
and reduce us to anarchy or servitude.-
The past years experience renders it Ger,
tain thai if they triumph, blood and DESC
lation, fire and sword, or arbitrary subiec--
tion to their viii, awaits every white man,
who has manhood enough 70 dislike their
SYSTEM of slavery, tolerable cnly as a cruel
necessity, but as principle hateful to God
and man.
''They will omit no means, honest .or
dishonest, to insure success. Misrepre-
seutinS, eliminating our motives, ridicu-
ling our honest efforts TO mitigate the
horrors of war, and infiaming the passions
of the populace by low epithets-these ere
among the nilder and more ordinary
means resoTted to by this pseudo ehivsyy.

Gn the Eights--EEarper's Ferry.

A correspondent of the New York Tri-
6ome gives the following graphic sketch
of the scenery and various points of in
terest in the vicinity of Harper's Ferry,
| Virginia:
"The view from the mountains at Harper S
Ferry" said Jefferson, ais worth Journey
across the Atlantic" Let US purchase it
at the lower price of climbing Maryland
Hights.
DowE through Harper's Ferry, where the
ruined walls, astonishing street-angles,
quaint old Catholic Church perched upon
the hill, wooden shutters, and low stone
houses half buried in the earth, recall
some ancient Mexican city. Through the
trestle work under the railroad by the
sentry, who examines your pass; across
the narrow pontoon bridge, where the dry
planks on their anchored dat-boats give
a hollow rattle under your horses feet, and
you are in Maryland.
Over the canal, then sharp turn to
the left, up the river, along the shelf road
barely wide enough for two wagons A
deep gorge, cut through the Blue Ridge
in some prlmeval period, when the Poto-
mac was an ocean torrent. On the right,
abrupt rocks, rising two hundred feet,
overhang your head-a continuous sword
of Damocles. Far up are great caves,
gaping mouths Ill the rugged face, worn
by the wash OF waves in those ages when
deep answered unto deep. On the summit
one huge block has somewhat the contour
of a human face---the Old Man OF the
Mountains.
Diagonally to the right, and your pant
ing horse climbs the steep wagon road,
over the rocks, through the dense woods
4 great open field half way up the
mountain. Here is battery, with its
bottle shaped Dahlgrens, sure at $500
yards, capable, at their utmost elevation,
of three and half miles its black, slim
PARROTS, with iron banded 5reech, and its
shining howitzers of brass. Some are the
guns which were spiked and rolled down
the hill at Ford S most shameful evacuation;
others have been brought up since from
Harpers Ferry.
Zach conical tent Of The garrison is set
upon a circle of upright logs rising three
feet above the ground, '.chinked" and
plas.ered with mud In the center within
is a fire place, with one covered trench
leading IN to- ventilation, and another
passing out on the opposite side to carry
off the smoke. The occupants are well
protected against the bitter breath of
Winter.
A third Of mile to the north are the
white tents Of the First Division of the
Twelfth Corps-Ranks' heroes, who have
melted away In so many trying marches
and hard rd-fought fields have left their
honored dead at Winchester and Front
Royal, at Cedar Mountain, Bull Run, and
Antietam. Now their stricken ranks are
filled up with fresh regiments, aud under
Gordon, who, rising from the colonelcy of
the I'd Massachusetts, has won en- viable
repute throughout the army, they are
again ready FOR the field.
On again, up the lonely road, then to
the left, climbing the brow of the ridge,
over stones and fallen trees, until the path
studded with sharp rocks: grows impracti.

Up with the sun at morning,
Away to the garden he hies,
To see if the sleepy blossoms
Have begun to open their eyes
Running a race with the wind,
With a step as light and fleet,
Under my window | hear
The patter of little feet.
This child is our speaking picture"
A birding that chatters and sings,
Sometimes a sleeping cherub-
(Our other one has wings.
His heart is a charmed casket,
Full of all cunning and sweet,
And no harp-strings hold such music
AS follows his tinkling feet.
When the glory of sunse. opens
The highway by angels trod,
And seems to unbar the city
Whose Builder and Maker is God,
Close to the crystal portals
l see, by the gates of pearl,
The eyes of our other angel
A twin born little girl.
| asked to be taught and directed
To guide his footsteps Alright.
So that be accounted worthy
To walk in sandals of light
And hear, amid songs OF welcome
From messengers trusty and fleet,
On the starry floor of Heaven
