affairs ofkhe country and requested
a written expression Of the lattelss
views Of the best plan Of restoring
good feeling. Gen. Leo responded,
expressing reverence for the COnsti-

union OF the States as of old, and .
belief that his desire was shared by
the great mass Of rejecting people Of
the South, The Southern people, be
save, are anxious for peace, aud the
peaceful administration Of the Gov
erBment. They long for the priv
ilege Of self-government, and says the
Southern people viii treat the coIored
people kindly and hnmanely, if left TO
themselves. He emphaticallY de-
plores the attempt to commit the
political d%estinies Of the South to the
cOlored people before they are pre-
pared for such responsibility, and
considers such an attempt fraught
with misfortunes and oalamities to
the white people, as well as destruc-
ton to the negroes themselves, His

Crops Near BatesYiIle, Ark.

The Batesville Republican Of the ed
says: Weare gratified TO announce
that the prospects for an abundant
yield of corn are remarkably good.
Cotton is not very promising, owing
TO unfavorable weather, but AS it has
not been planted so extensively this
season as formerly, the loss will not
be severely felt by farmers, many of
whom have acted wisely in planting
only enough for domestic use. We
observed some fine patches Of tobacco
which indicates that tho soil of North
Arkansas will produce as fine an
article of tobacco as North Carolina
or Virginia.

LETTER FROM WEST VIRGINIA.
Great Political Ercitenent-Adle Speakers
Camp meeting, dc.
f,orresnondence of the Richmond Dispatch.
BRIDGEPORT, WEST VIRGINIA,

.9 August 20, 1868.
We are having great Democratic meet
ing in this place to-day. Indeed, IN every
section of the State there is the widest ex-
element. Every day the prospects OF the
Democrats are growing brighter. Mont
gomery Blair, General McCook, ana many
other able speakers have heard the Mace
DOMAIN cry and have come to our heiP. IL II
is said that not less than a thousand hadl,
calls in the State have become dlsgustea
with their party, and will vote our ticket.
A Methodist camp-meeting is in progress
ten miles from this place, at which at least
5000 people are in attendance. Inc dls-
order has been such as almost to break up
the concern. On Sunday there were thirty
fights, while all during the meeting the
most desperate men for fifty miles around
have been on hand, greatly to the annoy
ance of the godly.
Our little town is very much exclteu oy
the assembling here of the Union Baptist
Association, which numbers some 2,5oo
regular Baptists. Governor Joseph John
son, now in his eighty fifth year, has within
q few years become Jealous Christian.
He is one of the prominent members OF the
Baptist Association. ..
Our crops are excellent. No cattle disease
or anything else to mar our happiness but
Radical rule, which We hope Will soon
come to grief. n.
