The Correspondence on the new Or
lcnus Riot.
CHICAGO, August 2S.-The dispatches
of General Sheridan about the New Or
leans riot, are attracting much attention
and comment. They were fairly smoked
out by the clamor of the radical press,
and it Is believed Gen. Sheridan demand
ed their publication as q measure Of JUS
tice to himself; since the only one OF his
dispatches given to the public had been
garblsd in ar important particular.
Soldiers MISUNDERSTANDING Mt the
Soldiers Rxpense.
The soldiers bounty question is now
being much talked about, and it is claimed
that the commission heretofore appointed,
consisting of Surgeon-G General Barns,
Gen. Candy and others, have reported in
favor of paying bounties; but that their
report Is suppressed for political effect on
the soldiers. So much of this appears to
be true, that the Secretary of the Treasury
has ordered nc payments to be made for
the equalization of bountIes until further
legislation by Congress.

sional men of oil kinds, who recognized
him as Chief Magistrate of the Republic,
the chosen protector Of their rights and
liberties. The people Of Philadelphia
heartily congratulated him on the close of
the unfortunate rebellion ; that peace had
returned /; that brother was no longer en-
gagged in war against brother; that oil the
States were restored to the Union and the
Constitution, and the Union was one and
inseparable.
"They believe" he said, "that you,
through the Divine blessing, will bring
back peace in fact as we'll as in name /;
soon all good citizens will throw aside
partisan considerations for the nations
welfare. Wishing you pleasant enjoy
ment of the mission you are now perform
ing, and a safe return, we tender you a
hearty welcome; believing that it will be
as acceptable in its informality as il it
came more properly from u municipal
authorities"

Permit me in response to what you
have just said, to tender you my sincere
thanks, and the thanks of those who &C.
company me, for this cordial welcome. l
hope you believe me when I say I know
how to appreciate this welcome, made by
the citizens Of Philadelphia, you have
uttered. Certain sentiments and wishes are
addressed to myself, and l respond to
them most cordially; and I believe they
are shared by those who are with me on
the present occasion. I trust peace has
come, not only peace, but permanent
peace; and in the future we shall learn
war no more. Peace should be peculiarly
adapted to this Nation, and to the feelings
Of the great mass Of the people OF Phila-
delphia. We have had war enough. Let
there be peace. In allusion to what you
have said about the Constitution and my
past conduct, 1 will merely say that every
effort and all my influence, either as Chief
Magistrate or private citizen, shall be ex-
erted to bring about peace and restore q
distracted and divided country.
The speech was heartily ~applauded.
