"WHTE SuLpHER SPRINGS, Aug. %

has. been intensely excited over the visit of
Gen. Rosecrans here. priort0 his departure
on the Mexican diplomatic mission. Hay
ing first visited Hot Springs, were Gen.
Robert +. Lee had been and finding that
distinguished gentleman had left for this
beautiful resort, where he was cordially
welcomed, Rosecrans set out in hot pursuit,
and here found not only Lee, but d very
large collection ofthe representative South
erners that he wished to consult with. The
laudable object of the General is to effect,
through the agency Of his former West
Point companions and prominent civilians,
u reconciliation of the entire people of the
country. He comes here with a desire to
know the real disposition and true inten-
tons OF the Southern people in the coming
presidential campaign: lie believes that
they represent more fully the intelligent
people of the Southern States than any
leaders ever represented the mass Of their
people, and that the power which for four
years sustained the Confederacy is capa-
BILE of accomplished great good for the ma
ton If set benefcially to work. To put
this great influence actively at work is the
Generals object. He thinks that il it can
be done our political status as the greatest
OF republican governments can be secured.
Our financial stability, will follow, and our
bonds would rise to par, and also our green
backs-the brood Of insatiate spectators
and military land the de-
Epreciated, credit reputation and ruin which
now threaten the country would disappear
and the sunshine Of long and glorious
career would then dawn upon orr future.

suits may be looked for
