The cavalry who captured Mr.. Jeffer-

LETTER FROM GEN. LEE.

We hope the following extract from a
letter of Gen. Lee to one of the editors
of the petersburg VA Index. will be
read with as much pleasure as We have
in publishing it. 1t is timely counsel from
a source of great weight with tho South
ern people, and breathes a spirit in exact
accordance with the wishes of the leading
officers of the late armies of the South
Il should be the object Of all to avoid
controversy, to allay passion. give free
scope to reason and every kindly feeling.
By doing this, and encouraging u citi-
zens to engage in the duties of life with
all their heart and mind, with the de-
termination not to be turned aside by the
thoughts of the past or fears Of the future,
our country will not only be restored in
material prosperity, but will be advanced
in science. in virtue aud religion.
wishing you every success, l am
most truly yours,

THE LOUISIANA CONVENTION.

The Democratic Convention Of Louisi-
ana, which met last Monday in New Or
leans. adjourned On Tuesday. There
were no dissensions among the members ;
and there was nothing done by it which
a Southern man can be ashamed of-and
yet nothing done by it which can offend
any reasonable man North or South. 1t
approved the policy Of the President and
adopted nearly all the opinions Of similar
Conventions at the North. The chief diff
ference between them and it is expressed
in the following resolution.
Resolved, That the institution of slavery
havi0g Seen etIectually abolished in the
Southern States, we consider it our right
to petition Congress for compensation for
all losses sustained By the emancipation
policy.
Jefferson Davis was not forgotten by
the gentlemen Of the Convention. ]. W.
Overall, Esq offered a series Of resolu
tons in behalf Of our late President
arking for him clemency ana kindnes and
pardon. The True Delta says that Mr..
Overall introduced them with a ~fervent
and most eloquent speech, which was ap-
plauded heartily by the members. We
rust that no Convention within the
south shall be held without asking the
government this favor. Every true man
in these States will be hurt, if Mr.. Davis
be hurt.
