As We ExPECTED.-As we expected,
the Radical papers are scofing at the
Sulphur Springs correspondence. Gen.
Rosecrans is styled self-confdent'"
" bombastic" and "ridiculous,' and his
letter a " windy epistls." Gen. Lee and
his associates are called old rebels"
their pledges but "specious promises"
and they are following the demagogues
lead" It is in such a spirit of suspicion
and injustice that every effort TO promote
good feeling between the North and South
is received by the Radicals. If Gen 70.
~secraus had robbed the Treasury, or
cheated the Government 10 a contract or
divided money with Illicit whisky distill
ers, and been found out, he would not
baSe been more roundly abused by some
Of the Radical papers ; possibly be would
not have been abused at all. The crime
for which they have no forgiveness is
that of trying 10 disprove the Radical
fables concerning the South, by showing
in black and white that the foremost
SOuthefners, those who have been regard
ed as the most ~Intractable, are sincerely
DESTROYS of peace, aud are truly loyal lin
the full meaning of that much,sbused
phrase to the Union a1d the Constitu.
ton. Congress would not send a com.
mission to the South with olive branches.
1t would be unofficial 10 the President to
confer with Lee and bis associates Who
could do it but a private individual, and
who better fitted for the undertaking than
a Union general who had fought gallant
~ against those men !? The radical critics
all of a sudden have a great admiration
for the one virtue of modesty." They
think that Gen. Rosecrans was not " mod
est in bringing about the conference,
aud in writing his letter. A partisan eli.
tor and political hack ~descanting on The
loneliness Of modesty reminds one of a
highway robber pausing in the midst of
his crimes to enlogise politepess and hon
esty. But we let that pass. Nice ques-
tons Of etiquette and delicacy are minor
considerations when the interests of the
country are at stake. We think that all
candid persons who have carefully read
the correspondence will admit that it is
highly honorable to both sides, and that
the document ELECTED from the Southern
gentlemen and soldiers possesses a
real value as expressing once and for all
in u~nmistakeable terms their views of the
situation. For the part that Gen. Rose
Grams has taken in this pleasant affair,
he deserves the thanks of the public.

The game between these clubs yesterday for the

In the defeat of the Greenpointers The game, taken
as whole, was not remarkably brilliant, although
the figures were small and the time Of the game
short. The New Workers decidedly outplayed their
opponents and entitled to great deal Of credit.
There was, of course large amount OF excitement,
OF the results OF the game was to be the reln

the Unions of Morrsania played second base for the
New Workers, and played 1t wen, although the
Greenpointers protested against his admission, on
the ground that he had not resigned from the Union
soon enough to be entitled to appear in this game
The score OF the game is as fOllOWS:-

THE NATIONAL GAME.
Social w. Empire.

SOCIAL VS. Empires
The home and home game between these clubs
came on yesterday and proved to be decidedly in
teresting contest. The Socials were on hand with
good strong nine while the Empires were minus four
or i've Of their nine. Old times Miller was present,
and at his post first base, played 'up TO the handle"
Duncan, Post Wilson, Reltsen and the others Of the
Empire played very nicely although the knowledge
OF tnelr weakness acted seriously against their
spirlts Mott, on the second base; Layman, Dalton,
Chase, Clute and Ryerson, OF the Socias each filled
MS position well. The game was sharply fought
throughout, and the ninth inning had progressed so
iar that the score stood at tie when account OF
the darkness, the game was called, and the score
