letter from General Lee.

LEXINGTON, VA, September l3, 1869.
Dear Sir,-L have had the honor to re-
ceive your invitation to attend as an homo
rary member of the Commercial Conven-
ton to assemble ut Louisville Oh the 18th
of October next. The important measures
proposed TO be considered by the Conven-
ton will attract the earnest attention OF the
whole country, and, I feel assured, will re-
ceiye the calm deliberation which so mo-
mentous subject as the advancement of
the interests of all the States, and the de-
velopment of the wealth and resources
of each, require from American citizens.
If we turn to the past history of the
country and compare our material condl-
ton with that of our forefathers when
they undertook, in the face of the difficult
ties which surrounded them, it's organiza-
ton and establishment, it would seem to be
an easy task for us to revive what may be
depressed, and to encourage what may be
languishing, in all the walks of life.
We shall find it easy if we will cher
ish the same principles and prac-
ticc the same virtues which governed
them. Every man, however, must do
his part in this great work. lie must carry
into the administration of his affairs in
dustry, fidelity, and economy, and apply
the knowledge taught by science to the pro-
motion of agriculture, manufactures, and
all industrial pursuits. AS individuals
| prosper communities will become rich, and
the avenues and dep0ts required by trade
and commerce will be readily constructed.
In my particular sphere have to attend to
my proper business, which occupies SO much
of my attention that have but little time
to devote to other things. l am unable,
therefore, to accept your kind invitation,
but am happy in the belief that the en-
lightened delegates that will be present at
the Convention will do all that can be done
for the good of the country.
Thanking you for the kind manner in
which your invitation has been extended,
am, with great respect,
Your obedient servant,
r. Z. LEE.

sPAIN-MR. s1CKLEs's NOTE.

sPAlN-NR. SllhLES NoiGs
LONDON, September 22.-The Paris cor
respondent of the Times says: " The di-
plomatic experience of Mr.. Sickles Is liml-
ted, and probably insufficient to enable him
rightly to estimate the value and effect Of
his words. Doubtless be is much surprised
at the excitement they have created, and it
will be difficult for his Government to ap-
prove them"
LONDON, September 22.-The Times says
the Spanish have found their advantage in
q bold display of patriotism and national
courage. They meet imagined afront with
immediate defiance though their threatened
adversary is ten times more powerful than
themselves. Minister Sickles is mani
testify alarmed OF the result Of his pro-
ceedings, and has requested further in
structions. Pending reply from Washing
ton, he desired to withdraw his note. If
this is actually the position Of the case,
Spain owes it to her own fearlessness, which
may SAVIOR Of unreason, but does not par
take of the nature of bravado. She de-
clares that if driven to extremity she
will fight. No doubt she will. For her to
gain advantage by doing 90 is out OF the
question but as matters stand she would
lose less than her adversary. America
may fairly decline an easy victory on sucn
onerous and partial terms. The people and
Government of Spain have resolved not to
part with Cuba without o struggle. The
contest could only result in the sacrifice OF
Cuba, coupled with other but slighter losses.
Sickles expected no such resistance as his
note has provoked. Possibly in the face OF
such opposition his proceedings may be
qualified or repudiated by his Government.
t is believed he exceeded his authority,
and that America is not responsible for his
act.
MADRID, September PA treaty OF
commerce between Spain and England is
about completed.
The first action of the Cortes on reassem-
bling will be the election of King. Thus
far the King of Portugal is the favorite.

COLONEL. PowELL--A DESCRIPTION OF TIL
COUNTRY EXPLORED, &C.-Chicdgo, Sep
scmber 2l.-Colonel J. W. Powell, the Colo
RADIO explorer, returned to this city yesteT'
lay, having successfully travelled the en-
tire grand canon from Green river, the
point where the Colorado debouchcs into the
open plain il. the territory of Arizona
From the point where Colonel Powell's last
letter was written the expedition descended
about 400 miles between walls almost verti-
cal, ranging from 500 to 800 feet In
height, the exterior of the canon being from
$500 to 1000 feet above the bed of the
river. More than 200 waterfalls and cas-
cades, emptying themselves over the walls
of the canon into the main river, were in
this distance presenting almost every vari-
ETY. of natural scenery. The geological for
nation of the canon consists principally in
limestone and sandstone. Granite was
found only at three places and in limited
amount. No discoveries of precious metals
we're made, and no indications of gold Or
silver found in the bed of the river. One
section of the canon was found to consist in
very fine and beautifully polished marble,
which is ut present entirely Inaccessible.
The country traversod is barren beyond de-
scription, and is pronounced by Colonel
Powell not susceptible of cultivation even by
irrigation.

TIE PORES REPLY TO DR.. CUMMINGS
London, September 2l.-The Pope has sent
communication to Cardinal Manning in
reference to the proposal of DR.. Cummings
to appear at the Ecumenical Council. The
Pope refers DR.. Cummings to the terms Of
the letter of invitation addressed to Protest
ants, and says he will find. it is IN invita-
ton not to a discussion, but only to profit
by the opportunity, and return to the
Church. The Pope says, in conclusion,
there is no room at the Council for the de-
fence Of errors already condemned.
The Times, commenting on the above,
says the decision of Romo on DR.. Cum
mings's application is pronounced with I'M
expected promptitude. The Pope must have
acquainted himself with the purport Of DR.
Cummings's letter through the newspapers,
and replied before its receipt. DR.. Cum
mings is to be congratulated on the authori-
tativc reply elected. The Pope speaks
plainly. II Dr.. Cummings had considered
the claims of the Church he would have
seen there could be no room for him in the
Council.

General Sherman, nd interim Secretary of

Iiccrcnt rights Of the Cubans as was his
predecessor, and his influence with the Adj

Diplomacy.

WASHINGTON, September 22.-The Go
vernment of the United States, learning
through parties who had visited Spain that
it's mediation between that country and
Cuba would be accepted by the former, in
structed Minister Sickles to tender Its
friendly Offices. Spain has formally re-
piled, thanking the United States, but de-
clining TO enter into On arrangement with
the insurgents On the basis proposed. There
is no reason to believe that Spain invited
other European Powers to interfere in Its
concerns regarding Cuba. Spain having
declined our mediation, there Is nothing
else proposed by our Government. There
are no war apprehensions here.
