ERN CONFERENCE.
The correspondent Of the Richmond Whig
writes from White Sulphur Springs (va.) the
following in his letter Of August 22d:
The arrival of Gen. Rosecrans by the stage
yesterday created quite . stir among the male
largely Ia other days in the councils of the ma.
ton. The object Of his visit, before his arri.
val. was understood to be for tho purpose oil
comforting with Gen. Lee and others as to the
best means Of placing before the North state
ment Of the real feeling Of the people of the
South towards the Union. He had stopped in
Staunton to see Mr.. Stuart and compare views
with him, but that gentleman was here at the
time. Gen. Rosecrans had, however, q long
interview with John b. Baldwin, which he
says was very satisfactory TO him.
As soon rs dinner was over Gen. Rosecrans
sought Gen. Lee. and they conversed freely for
some hours. There sat in the same room two
general officers, who, early in the bloody drama
not long closed, figured as the leaders of two
opposing armies talking of peace and concili-
alton and a restoration Of the Government
And what Robert Lee said then and there the
South said; for he is the embodiment Of her
sentiment, and she 10 willing 81 confde her
honor. her interest. and her oil 10 his keeping.

Rosecrans. who is very fluent talker, and
who expresses his opinions with n soldierly
want OF reserve, as your correspondent knows.
said that there were many honest, well mean.
Ing men in the North aud West who have been
led to believe by the misrepresentation of the
Radical press. as we'll as by the speeches of the
leaders of that party, that the people Of the
South are just as hostile Ia the onion now ls
during the war, aud rrall, MS much emb,tered
against the Northern people as they were hen
both were IN arms: that they hate the negroes
with deadly hate because they have been SET
free, and but for the strong arm OF the military
would reduce them To u state OF practical ser
