THE SULPHUR SPRINGS MISSION.

We publish to-day in a letter from
White Sulphur Springs to the Richmond
Wing, which the reader will see is con
4 irmatory Of the views we have express
Y ed as to the nature of General Rose
Grams political business at that place.
Il will be observed that there is dis
crepaucy between the statements of the
Wing and those of some other newspa-
u pers, whose correspondents profess to
d have derived their information from
"a General Rosecraus himself, relative to
N she question of correspondence having
N passed between him and the rebel Gen
erals. However that point may be,
there is abundant evidence that General
q Il. s claims of non-partisanship are at
n once hypocritical aud dishonest. The
Richmond Enquirer repre- ents him as
81 follows:
a General Rosecrans atfirms that the soldiers
s Of the Northwest are tired of war, and want
y peace and prosperity. He says that the Radl-
IN Gals are conducting the campaign there upon
n but single issue, and that Is that the election
Y Of Grant viii secure peace and prevent war.
lie says that the Radical papers are daily
a dealing ont the most atTOclous falSehoods
n about pretended insurrectionary state OF at
u fairs il the South, and declaring that nothing

n 80 give these lies an authoritative denial.

d From these witnesses ii appears that

that in his opposition to the latter he is

As to the question whether General

'urney, we fad the following statement
n the Washington dispatch of the G
Tribune from which we quoted above:
General Rosecrans is in constant commu-
nication with the President, and one of his
kecretarieS said to me, this evening, that he n,
the secretary had the whole plan in conf u

We believe we shall do General Rose
