GEN. AVERILLS LETTER.-lt was noticed
in yesterday Gazette that Gen. ". ". Aver
i'll had entered his protest against the proposed
Soldiers Convention. to be held in Pitts
burg, next month, in the interest of Grant. In
his letter he gives his reasons for his course
When the war broke out he says he believed It
to be ''an inevitable and unavoidable struggle
between two distinct and conflicting social
forms, and he, among others, accepted the
issue to preserve the nationality Of the Repub-
lie, aud prevent disunicn. Nevertheless he
says:
In the conflict that en>ued, those who
tough, the Southern side We're no more TO
be reproached for living under aud believing in
the social system Which they had Inherited,
than We who shed our blood in maintaining
the purer Democracy In which We had been
born and educated
After the war was over, and its results had
been accepted by the Southern people. oppor-
tunities, says General Averill, were offered to
General Grant greater than any since the days
of Washington, aud yet, he adds:
mo man, living or dead, has ever exhibited
such absolute lack of intelligence to understand
or will to embrace them. The sol
diers of the South had not only laid down their
arms, but had at once gone TO hard work at va
rious occupations formerly despised. showing
that they had we'll learned the lessons of the
war Every consideration of honor, dignity
aud even of mercy, demanded that we should
encourage them in their struggle for life and
peace, no less heroic than their conduct in bat
tie. The shattered fragments Of their former
social structure were ready at hand to recon-
struct society on Democratic foundation: but
those fragments have been ground into dust
under the vindictive heel of L. s Grant and
the men who control him. Ignorant. supersti-
tious negoes who will abide with us forever
have not been instruct ed in the duties of self:
governments but bv the special efforts of the
they had their apprehensions aroused and q
race hatred begotten. If this be peace. then
the frmest ralying cry of his partiSans, Let
us have peace, is cruel mockery."
General Averi declares that the people
want peace, and that the demand for it is more
imperative to-day than ever He does not be-
lieve in keeping up class distinctions, nor does
he think that convention of soldiers, called
for the purpose of controlling or influencing
the political action either Of late comrades, or
of other citizens, is in keeping with the spirit
of our Democracy" AS against Grant he is
for Greeley. and closes his letter by asking !:
'Is it not our imperative duty to replace an
Executive who has shown himself officially in
competent, and in many ways Objectionable, BY
man of the people and not of a Ring-a man
whose unquestioned honesty, intelligence and
marvellous industry will enable him so to con-
duct the executive affairs that the General
Government shall do its duty toward relieving

THE WEST VIRGINIA ELECTION. The tele-

definite from the election held in West Virgin

The vote in this city is the largest ever cast.
There will probably be a majority of 200 or 500

for Jacob for Governor The news from other
points is mcager, but of the same character.
Returns from portions of Preston and Han
cock counties give heavy majorities against the
constitution, and in favor of the independent
candidates for Governor and Congressman. A
White Sulphur Springs dispatch says that
Greenbrier county has gone largely for Camden
and the adoption of the constitution. Math-
ews Democrat,) for Attorney General, runs
largely ahead Of the ticket in the county. The
colored vote, with few exceptions, went sol
idly against the adoption of the constitution
