FEW REMARKS FROM GEN. BURNSIDE.
New YORK, Sept. 25.-Gen. Burnside in
reply to certain remarks of Mr.. Greeley at Pitts
burg, in regard to the veterans convention,
issued to-day letter denying that any word Or
act Of said convention justifies Greeley's re-
marks. Burnside says: In view of the fact
that Greeley has charged us with desire to
engender feelings of hate toward the survivors
of those who were in armed rebellion against the
government, we desire to reiterate our wish that
all differences may be obiterated with this one
single condition, that under no circumstances
will we support man for chief magistrate of
the nation who, in the hour of the country's
greatest danger, did not appreciate the situa-
ton, and by words and acts step forward to its
defence"
