The Ncw-York Tribune publishes an
intercepted letter, one Of those captured
in the rebel mail at Sheppcrdstown on the
10Th inst. written by lat New York
democrat, but now Col in the rebel
army and with Genl. Early in the Shcnan-
doah, addressed to a Mr.. Bishop in Brock
lyn. This modern democrat and model

democrats upon what terms they can have

would do much to pacify and eonciliate

dependence would be acknowledged, and
that terms of reconstruction would he of

1t is my opinion, as it is the opinion Of
