LETTER FROM MR. BEEoHER. Cos hocton (Ohio) Democrat having interpolat- ed @ word in Q sentence of Henry Ward Beecher'r letter to the Boston Advertiser which perverted the meaning, the Editor of the Coshocton Republican wrote to MT. Beecher on the subject and received the following reply:
 '.Peekskill Aug. 13, 1868.
 'Dear Sir: You ask mo whether I wrote the following sentence:
 ''Rey. Henry Ward Beecher in the clos ing sentence of letter to the editor of the Boston Daily Aduertiser utters an honest sentiment in the following:
 " There will be no third candidate be- tween Grant and Seymour. It will be a fair fight between rugged Democratic) honesty and plausible craft. -Coshocton Dena0cTdt.
 q did not. The word Ldemocratic] was interpolated by the editor of the paper from which it comes on purpose to deceive his readers. regard Grant as an upright honest man, of good administrative skill the very man to be president in times 1 which require steadiness, clear sense, and tried patriotism. l not only believe administration will be as remarkable as his military career.
 ''Since the men who sought to destroy this government are rallying around Sey. nnour it is fit that all men who stood up for the Union should gather about Grant. It is an honor that will not happen twice in man s life time to have chance to vote for such man as Grant. No young man can we'll afford to throw away his chance. Even if done, it ought to be in favor of some better man than he who, through all the years, from 1860 to 1868, studied how to help southern treason without mourning the risks and pains of overt and courage ous reasonable acts.
 am very truly yours,
 CHENEY WARD BEEcHER."

Another of the current campaign Ii

Another of the current campaign lies about Grant has been nailed down. The hand which yields the .hammer belongs to no less distinguished Democrat than N. B. Forrest. Few Northern Democrats will venture to discredit statement made by a Confederate Major-General. This is what he said, on a recent occasion, to cores pendent of the Cincinnati Commercial :-
 A report has been published in some of the papers, stating that while General Grant and lady were at Corinth, in 1862, they took and carried off furniture and other property. I here brand the author as a liar. I was at Corinth only Q short time ago, and I personally investigated the whole matter, talked with the people with wh om he and his lady lived while there, and they say that their conduct was everything that could have been expected of gentleman, and dese1 ying of the high est praise. I am opposed to General Grant in everything, but would do him justice.'

JEFFERSON DAVIS IN ENanAND.-Th Lon don Erening Sta'. has the following in re- gard to Jeff. Davis:-
 cone of Saturdays papers has 0 study of MT. Jefferson Davis and his cause, which presents the subject both in new and in- teresting light. sTo one class of minds,' we learn, Mr. Davis was the representa- tive of the cause of law and order against the anarchial and democratic tendencies of the age-the chosen champion of people who, from the peculiar time and circum- stances of their struggle, appeared to be maintaining the critical and decisive con- test against democracy, of liberty against the despotism of majorities, of conserva- tism against political chaos and social rev. olution. In the opinion of many,
 'This by no narrow bounds was circumscribed
 It was tho cause of chivalry at large
 It is, according to the same authority, the chief of the southern armies, the head of the southern people, the statesman, whose wisdom, skill and tenacious cour- age We learnt during that arduous struggle to appreciate and admire-the suffering prisoner of Fortress Monroe-the exiled patriot, who was so heartily cheered on the quay at Liverpool, and will be cheered whenever he appears before crowd of En- ] glishmen."
 At time like the present, when the coldness that lately existed between this country and the United States is in fair way of giving place to more kindly feel ing, we can conceive of no more shameful
 insult to @ great nation than cheer in honor of person in MT. Davis position
 unless it IS the assurance which follows the
 words we have quoted, to the effect that
 the cheers are not to be taken as 8 de government of the United States w,
 have blundered once with our precious
 sympathies,' for heavens sake let IS no
 blunder 8 second time."

To conclude, Messrs. Editors, these and these alone were the causes which prevent ed the exchange of prisoners, and these causes were in operation until the close o1 the war. The difficulties in the way were insurmountable, and were so looked upon by the United States authorities. Gen. Grant had. no more power to overcome them than any officer who preceded him. He took the only means in his power to of feet the release of our prisoners, and in 1865 succeeded in accomplishing his pur- pose. much to the disgust, no doubt, of such patriotic vindicators of the ;truth of historty' as Mr. Robert Ould.

TRUE.-In Q recent speech Wade Hamp-

1VOO11V ton said:
 ''The old government was honored at home, and respected abroad; taxation was light and plenty blessed the land"
 If this were 50, thon why did Ham pton wage furious bloody and protracted war to destroy "the old governmental" Those whom he and his associates now traduce gave half million of lives and five thous- and millions of money to preserve that government. These southern gentlemen should know that tho people of tho north estimate at it's real value their present so- lieitude for the honor of ''the old govern ment." The advice they arc so layishly rendering in the pending campaign is not relished by loyal men of either party. If they really desire the election of Seymour, prudence if not modesty would bow them to the rear. They don't look we'll in front.
