SOUTHERN ACCOUNT OF RosECRANS'
MIssIoN.-A letter in the Richmond
wing from White Sulphur Springs
dated Aug. ~, says that Gen. Rosecrans
addressed a note to Lee and others, pro-
pounding certain inquiries relating to
the South, and adds;
" a careful and well digested state
ment was prepared and addressed to
Gen. Rosecrans in reply to his letter.
All the parties to the conference signed
it, and others are expected to. After
Gen. Lees name came that of Gen. Beau
regard, and the signature of Mr.. Ste
phens of Georgia, is the third on the
list. Gen. Lee, in his reply, stated that
he believed the people OF the South sim
cerely desired peace and restoration OF
tire Union. He did not think it possible
that the country could prosper while the
control and management OF the Govern
ment of the States of the South remain
ed in the hands of the negroes and n few
whites, and the mass of the men repre-
senting her intelligence are dis
franchised. He believes if the whites
of the South were relieved of all
political disabilities and thereby given
ascendency they would, if left to them
selves, treat the negroes with kindness,
forbearance and justice. The Southern
people, in his opinion, regard the ques-
tons of slavery and secession as settled
finally by the war, and they have no
disposition or inclination to re-establish
the one or to again try the other. 1t is
the unanimous wish, says General Lee,
of the Southern people, that we shall
have lasting peace. They long for it,
The people of the South have the great
est interest in having good and stable
government, that Will protect them in

PLEASURES. - Marault's Plattsburgh
Band arrived in town 10y the I" River
Queen last evening, to accompany the
eXcursionists Of the Society of St. John
the Baptiste, to-day. Fuller's best con-
veyed them once around the Park on
their arrival, during which time they
discOursed to our citizens number OF
favorite airs, and afterwards selenaded
the Brigade Band at their quarters.
The St. Adams Brigade Band voun-
teered Il musical address to Hon. Brad
ley Barlow about 8 o'clock in the even
ing, and did not retire until they had
partaken Of the Inequalities Of his bOun-
tiful table. n number of citizens had
anticipated the Bandin going, and with
them, enjoyed the festivities of the oc-
casion hugely.
The old town clock had struck ten,
and was almost tempted to strike eleven,
when welcome sounds greeted our ears
in front of Union Block it was the
Pittsburgh boys playing to the st. AL
bans Band, ''listen to the hooking bird, !"
but the execution of the piece was no
mOckery. Their playing was of the
highest order according to our judgment,
and the still hours of the night rever-
berated the notes through the village de
lightfully. In the absence of Mr.. Kins-
ley, Mr. Wilson, of the Brigade Band
welcomed the serenaders in handsome
speech, during which he paid them a
merited compliment, and invited them
to the rooms of the band :" up three
| flights of stairs" At midnight we left
them in and around the " fremont
House," and their joys of meeting SEEM
ed to be undimmed by any thought "that
we alas must part"
AT an early hour this morning Mar
ault's Band, provided with one of Full
ler's covered carriages and four, struck
up again and wendell their way toward
St. Adams Bay and the "River Queen. F"
The st. Johns Society took the same di-
rection with teams in large numbers,
and we wish them all merry time on
the road to Pittsburgh, which doubt
less, they will enjoy. representatives

Vermont has done nobly, rolling up

or twenty-cight thousand at least for
our excellent State Ticket. But Frank
lin County, which has, throughout the
state, had the bad reputation of being
delinquent in her duty, does the thing
" brown this year. She elects Mr..
Barlow, the " straight Republican
candidate for Senator, and Mr.. Place,
the "straightn candidate for Sheriff,
against an individual who set himself
up as an independently candidate. We
do not care at this time to discuss the
merits of the ISSUES which have been i'll

Gated in the columns Of the TRANSCRIPT

4 BRACE or BEAUTIES.

The Radical Rebels had a meeting
in the Court House on Wednesday
night of last week, which was address
ed by w. NJ. Hall and John Cessna.
We are informed that Hall said that
the Democrats are 'jack-asses with
blind brides On, and push straight
ahead without looking to the right or
to the left" How long is it since
Hall and Cessna belonged to this same
class of "bIind-bridled jack-asses ?"
Like the ostrich, they imagine that
when they stick their heads in the
sand, they can't be seen, because they
can't see. The truth is that when they
were with and Of the party which they
now vilify and denounce, they were so
greedy that they gnaWed through the
bits of their "blind-bridles," and be-
coming Ws6Tidled in their ambition,
they "looked to the right and to the
left" and finally went 10 grass in the
Abolition pasture-field. This brace OF
beauties can't understand how it is that
men can go straight ahead, in the path
of principle, without docking TO the
right or to the left" But II is the pride
and the glory of true Democrats, that
they 90 strGight for'ct;yd and avoid the
devious windings and crooked ways of
those who turn aside for the flesh pots
of Egypt. We are not at all astonish-
ed that straight-forwsrdness and devo-
tion TO principle, are not appreciated
by such chaps as YIN, M. Hall and
John Cessna.

LIMPY LUTz.

The dapper little chap who now
struts about as straight as if he had a
ramrOd for back bone, but who, dur
ing the war, when draft was to be
made, used to limp and hobble around
spawned jack-ass for fear he would
have "to go for a soldier" or, what
would have hurt his feelings just as
much, to pay for substitute, says in
the last Inquirer, that sire (thot is the

ing is to be done for the Radical rebels,
you'll get the ''limps" again, and most
certainly the negroes will have to do
your share of it, for no white man

THE Bedford Inquirer has the effron-
terry to say that President Johnson
Whom it styles drunken maudlin,"
boori- tailor" "lecherOus manikin,"
&c. &c. has "attempted to- force out one
and forcein another cabinet officer with
out the advice andscOnsent of the Sen
ate." 1t is hardly Worthwhile to cast
the pearls of truth before such swine as
the author of the H1QuireJ''S article, but
for the benefit of the decent men who
read that sheet, we ask the Inquirer to
say in its next issue, 1ctether all
Presidents lcho preceded Mr.. Johnson,
did not re0aoUe Cabinet officers aohen they
chose so to do? Did not AndrelC Jack
son reh1oUe some Of his Cabinet officers
and ,0as he not sustained by the people in
so doingF Now, answer these ques-
tions and let us have no dodging J
The Constitution provides that the
President shall, "with the advice and
consent of the Senate" appoint certain
officers, among which members of the
cabinet are included but it does not
say that he shall ask the consent Of the
Senate when he decides to rentOUe such
officers. The Act of congress of 1889,
which is unrepealed to this day, settles
this matter in the most explicit man
ner. Now, President Johnson sent
his appointment of Mr.. Ewing as Sec
retary of War to the Senate for confir-
nation, as all other appointments have
always been sent, and that body can
reject Mr.. Ewing whenever it pleases.
Therefore, he has not attempted to
force any body into his cabinet "with-
out the advice and consent of the Sen
ate." The Inquirer simply and fatty
lies. AS to the appointment of Gen.
Thomas, every body but the ignor-
amuse5 of the Inquirer, knows that he
was only to act as Secretary of War
ad interim, (he being the Adjutant
General of the Army that is, until the
President and the Senate could agree
upon the appointment Of permanent
! Secretary.

the Union propose to defend the Presi-

at them as though they were monstrous
criminals. The editor of that sheet
forgets that Capt. Lyons and his gal

stood many day and many a night
between the encmy's torch and the
beautiful "Norland." Shame on such
ingratitude! But nothing better can
be expected from the valiant fellow

NAPIER


The Dem ocrats Of Napier tp., have
nominated an excellent ticket for twp.
officers, and every Democrat in the
township should make it point to go
to the election on Friday, Goth inst,
and vote the whole ticket. The Radi-
cal tricksters are busy in trying to SOW
the seeds of dissension in this gallant
old township. Their latest dodge is to
set the Democrats by the ears on local
question in regard to the schools of the
township. John Cessna boasted the
other day that Napier would be put
through" Democrats of glorious old
Napier Be on the alert and show
the tricksters who are trying to destroy
you, that they ''are reckoning without
their host" Turn out to the election and
give the Radicals such defeat as will
teach them hereafter to mind their
own business and to let yours alone.

PARAGONS OF CHRISTIAN GENTLE.
NESS.

The editors of the Bedford Inquirer
profess to be christian gentlemen.
They are, truly, paragons of christian
gentlene8s. Their several articles, last
week, contain these words as applied to
their neighbors in Bedford: "Misera-
bic Cowards," "Worthless Hides"
"Meanness and Selfishness'-"unscru-
pulous Knaves"- "Stringfellows of
Border Ruff1an fame'-"No Souls'-
"NO Character''--"Pecksniff'-"WOuld
strip the dead"-"Rob the orphan of
his crust of bread"-"Would betray
his God'-"DoOmed spirits"- -"Black-
guard" -"Fools''- '--"Cops''- s''-"Par-
ty hacks''-"A Asses s''-"Pusillanimou
Reptiles "Slunk away'-"Burned
Barns"- -"Bah !''-"Infamous lie"-
Miserable, contemplate Cowards"-
"Small ry"-"Drunken maudlin"-
"Lecherous Manikin," &C., &c. If this
sort of warfare is to continue, we shall
be obliged to go to the Inquirer Book
Store" and purchase a copy of the
Fishwoman's Dictionary which is evil

for sale at that repository of elegant
literature. There is another Book,
however, that might be of some service

peoples "piety," if they would only
read 1t.

THERE are some men who have
hitherto acted with the Radical party,
whom conscience tells that Radicalism
is wrong and that they ought to dis
card it. In fact, they say as much to
Democrats. But they hunt around for
something to smother the outcries OF
conscience, and they are willing to
accept any thing, in.this line, no mat
ter how ridiculous, that is offered them
by Radical politicians. They know
that their party is perpetrating outra-
ges unheard of in all the history of
politics, but when John Cessna tells a
story about Quitting bull off a
bridge" or some other leader of their
party, yells "Copperhead" at them, or
when they read the fiimsy lies of the
Bedford Inquirer, they think, "Oh
well, if poor excuse answers for 9th
erS it will answer for u.s." not remem-
bering that they will some day them
SeLUes be called upon to give an account
of every unjust act they perform and
to suffer for every instance in which
they set conscience at naught.

At the expiration of the morning
hour the Chief Justice and attendants
entered the Senate. The President
pro tenn. vacated his chair, and the
Chief Justice advanced up the aisle,
clad in his official robe, assisted by Nj.
PomerOy, Chairman of the Committee,
with Judge Nelson, of the Supreme
Court, on his right. he Chief JUS
tice having assembled to the IRE 3ident's
chair, said, "Senators, in obedience to
notice, have appeared to join with
you in forming court of impeach-
ment for the trial of the President of

tors as they will be called by the Sec
retary in succession" The Secretary
called the roll, each Senator advancing
in turn and taking the oath pre-
scribed in the rules. When the name
Of Senator Wade was called, the ques-
tion was put whether he, being the
person who would succeed to the Presi-
dental office, was entitled to sit as a
judge. The question was argued at
considerable length by Messrs. Hend-

gathered in knots to take counsel in
the moment of sudden danger, and
many of them left the hall in trepida-

their fright they noticed that the DEM

eXplode-with laughter at the expense
