GEN. shermnn ON Negroes.

Gen. w. L. SHERMAN, in letter to Mas
sachusetts negro recruiting agent in his de-
partment, expresses his ideas in the follow
ing forcible manner:
| do not see that the law restricts you to
black recruits, but you are atliberty to col
lect white recruits, also. 1t is waste OF time
and money to open rendezvous in North
west Georgia, for | assure you have not
seen an able-bodied man, black or white,
there, fit for soldier, who was not in this
army or the one opposed to it.
You speak of the impression going abroad
that am opposed to the organization of
colored regiments.
My opinions are usually very positive,
and there is no reason why you should not
know them.
Though entertaining profound reverence
for our Congress, ! do doubt their wisdom
in the passage of this law:
1st. Because civilian agents about an ar
my are nuisance.
I'd. The duty of citizens to fight for their
country Is too sacred an one to be peddled
off by buying up the refuse of other
States.
Sd. 1t is unjust to the brave soldiers and
volunteers who are fighting, as those who
compose this army do, to place them on a
par with the class of recruits you are after.
4th. The negro is in transition state,
and is not the equal of the white man.
9TH. He is liberated from his bondage by
act of war; and the armies in the field are
entitled to all his assistance in labor and
fighting in addition to the proper quotas of
the States.
9Th. This bidding and bantering for re-
cruits, white and black, has delayed the re-
enforcement of our armies at the times
when sIch re. endorsements would haveen-
abled us to make our successes permanent.
9TH. The law is an experiment which,
pending the war, is unwise and unsafe, and
has delayed the universal draft which /
firmly believe will become necessary to
overcome the widespread resistance offered
us; and also believe the universal draft
will be wise and beneficial; for under the
Providence of God it will separate the
sheep from the goats, and demonstrate what
citizens will fight for their country, and
what will only talk.

The city of Mobile may likewise be saved
If her defenders will only determine that
she shall not be smrenderedl If they have
the moral courage to stand shelling, as
Charleston has been doing for more than
twelve months, as Petersburg has been do

knock down or burn up a certain number
Of houses-they may compel the women

security of their lives-they may furnish

they can take Richmond. True, the outer
Notifications have been taken or rendered
useless. Fort Powell has been blown up,
and Fort Gaines has been surrendered, with
strong suspicious of treason. True, Fort
Morgan, isolated and surrounded, may be
taken or blown up. But there are formida-
BILE defenses and distractions before the
shellfng point can be reached, and then,
and not till then, Mobile will be put upon
her mettle and afford an opportunity to
rival the glory Of Charleston, Peters
burg, and of Atlanta. Then she will
have an opportunity to show, what has
been so often shown in this war, that bold
heart is superior to all mechanical contri-
vances, and that determined courage and a
resolution to win or die, are more than
equal to the largest physical odds. For the
present, she Is not so badly off as Rich
mond was two years ago, when Norfolk
had been taken, when York had been aban-
doned, when the James and York gave ac-
cess to the Yankee fleet almost up to her
very doors. Fortunately, too, it is under

cities. The case of New Orleans will not

With regard to the alleged treason OF

yesterday, but of South Carolina, He en-

"Many have declared themselves dissatis-
fled with Mr.. Lincoln, and inclined to Sc
iect new candidates: to which end Con-
yention has been suggested, to meet at Buff
falo, on the 22d of September. But to run
two Electoral tickets is to brave certain de-
feat; and this neither party can afford. Let
those Unionists who dislike Mr.. Lincoln
hold their Convention; let them name their
candidates: but let there be but one Elec-
toral ticket on our side; and let the People
severally vote their choice fox President;
and let a choice of majority BIZ respected
by all the Electors chosen by the Union
party. Thus we may differ as to men,
without scattering our votes, and throwing
away the election; and thus each party
may concede to the People what they have
never yet enjoyed-the high privilege OF
freely choosing President and Vice Pres
ident of the United States"

THE Herald of Progress, Spiritualis
newspaper, and the most widely circulated
of the papers devoted to Spirltualism, has
been forced to succumb to the high price of
paper and is dead. With the powers of
divination claimed by our erratic friends
now in sessionat Bryan Hall, it is astonish-
ing some of them did not foresee the rise in
paper, and advise through spiritual medi-
unis, the publishers of the unfortunate sheet
to lay in Stock Chicago Tribune.
The Nep World says: Andrew Jackson
Davis, the seer, and editor of the defunct
Herald of Progress prophesied thus:
When Gen. Grants last campaign OPEN
ed. Davis stated upon the authority of the
spirits that the Union army would destroy
the rebel army, and that gold before the
first ofJuly would fall topaz. This pleasant
fiction went the rounds of the press, but,
shortly after, gold went up to 240, and we
did not have victory. The reason finally
given for the suspension of the paper was
the high price of gold.

Eject of Peace Measures ON Eng
land and France.

It Is stated in Washington that the French
and English embassies have sent statements
to their respective governments, to the eff
feet that the election of a Democratic Pres
ident would undoubtedly bring about a
cessation of the war and reunion of the
Northern and Southern States. 1t Is be-
lieved by persons connected with the State
Department that upon its becoming known
in Paris and London that there is posi-
bility Of reunion of the North and South,
that efforts will be made to prevent
any such result. There Is no doubt that
it Is the policy of both the English and
French governments to divide the
two sections, and make separation
permanent. Any negotiations for peace,
therefore; which would involve
reunion, would be met, it is believed by
every one conversant with the subject, by
most energetic maneuvers on the part of
England and France, to create contention
and continue the war. 1t is even believed
that, rather than see this country come to-
gether again, England and France would
be willing to combine and prevent 1t by
force of arms. England is naturally jealous
ofthe great naval power of the United States,
and would look with extreme dlsiavor on the
reunion of the North and South; while
France knows that the perpetuity of her
new Mexican empire depends upona sort of
balance Of power being maintained between
the two sections of this country. The news
which win reach us from Europe during
the middle of September, will, therefore,
be of unusual interest, as by that time the
French and English Governments will have
understood the change Of feeling in favor
of peace which has come over the dreams
of both North and South. The measures
that will be taken by these foreign Gov
ernments TO keep the Union separate, will
need the utmost vigilance and ability to
combat, on the part Of the statesmen Of the
North and South.

Brougl, ms nProphet.

On the third OF May last, JOHN BRoUGH
Governor of Ohio, issued bombastic proc.
lamation calling out the militia for ont
hundred days service, in which he used the
following language:
I'VE cannot permit this lodr, in its presen
proportions, to liRger through another year. II
Is laying burthen upon us which, by vigor-
GUS and united exertion, we must arrest
It is true economy, as we'll as the dictate ol
humanity, to call to the termination of this
contest. force that will be sufficient for
the purpose. Time, treasure and blood will
alike be saved in augmenting our forces
and making the contest short and decisive
The hope Of the rebel leaders is in pro-
crastination of the war. In this political
party of the North sympathizes with them,
and Is laboring, by the same means, to Sc
cure political triumph at the expense OF
the unity and future prosperity of the ma
ton. The first zoe must subdne toitt oar arms
toithin the hundred days, and then we can
turn upon the other, and win over it more
peaceful, but no less glorious victory"
The hundred days have expired, and the
10000 militia conscripted by BRoUGH are
returning to their homes, but is the prospect
for the termination of this contest, which is
laying an intolerable burden upon us, any
better than it was three months ago?
BRoUaH either knew that his predic-
tions would prove false, or he did not. If
he knew he was uttering false prophecy
to the people of Ohio, he knew also that
thousands would be deceived to their in
jury and ruin by II, and no terms of indig-
nation and contempt are strong enough to
properly denounce the audacious falsifier.
If he did not know that his predictions
would prove false, then his ignorance and
credulity are sufficiently manifest to the
world, and we have incontrovertible testi-
mony that he is an improper and unfit per-
son to I'LL the Office he now holds. The in
consistency, to use no harsh term of
BRoUGH's course in connection with the
hundred days'men, is so great and unpardon-
able that 1t is not matter OF surprise that
he should remain in Washington to avoid
meeting the returning soldiers he so grossly
misled and wickodly deceived.
The wretched failure of Gov. BRoUGH's
imperious and positive prophecy that 1--WE
must subdue the rebellion with our arms
within one hundred days" is not calculated
to gain him much honor as prophet; and
this failure Of one part of this prophecy
will also lead to the conclusion that the
other prediction of an easy victory over
his political foes will prove equally falla-
cious and absurd.

JOHN BRoUGH, three months ago, an
nounced that If 10000 militia from Ohio
quietly obeyed his call and marched to the
front, the rebellion would be subdued
"within the hundred days." Time pro-
nounces BRouGH a false prophet. ABE
LINCOLN first said 5000 troops would sup
press the rebellion. Time, with accumula-
ted testimony, proves him false prophet.
Now, the false prophets again call upon the
country to give ''five hundred thousand
more" and the rebellion win be immedi-
ately crushed. The men win be given, but
they win be but five hundred thousand
more witnesses--living or dead--to the fact
that those who called them out are false
prophets. Their prophecies will prove false,
not because the troops fail to do their duty
nor because the soldiers have faltered In
their march, or wavered tthe forlorn hope
but because the valor Of the army is neu-
tralized BY the wickedness and imbecility
Of the false prophets Of the Administration
Therein lies the solution Of the problem.-
Tho false prophets who control the Govern
ment, incapable of conducting war or
concluding peace, are the evil influences
that transform all the efforts Of the army
into dead sea fruit which turns to ashes on
the lips.
