 Truth,

General Stewart l.. Woodford, of New York, has immortaiized himself in peace, as well as ID war, by tLe forgiving, patriotic tone of the ad- dress which he recently delivered at Cleveland, Ohio. on the occasion of the fourth annual re- nnion of the army of tue Potomac, an extract from which we copy below
 This hour is no time for politics. Mine not the lips. l trust, to introduce them here. But when think Of that heroic past; which your faces and presence so yiYidly recall, and then how trading,
 rickser politicians, fOrgetiul Of what baptism of blood sealed the new birth of the nation, seek to array races in needless hostility to excite the ig norance of the one and the brutal prejudice of tue other, would like to summon guard, haif from tue rebel Army of Northern Virginia and half from the loyal Army of the Potomac, take such indictments out. give them drum-head Court martial immediate execution, and soldierly burial under the apple-tree at Appomattox. Let us have peacei No stealing by carpet-bagsers. No mid night murders by cowardly Ku-KluX. But camp followers and suffers 10 the rear and true men to the front.
 That Sabbath day, in beautiful fidelity 10 the Christian brotherhood which is stronger than section, hoIer than creed your soldiers took rom their tattercd hagersacks the scant ratIons lelt from your last three days supply, and shared them with your beaten and hungry foe. fittlnS end 10 strife between brothers. That Sabbath evening the bells rang out jubilee, from cathedral chimes and in village spire, as the lightning whispered
 from city 10 city and hamlet to hamlet tne siau lidings of victory and peace, The nation Tell on pended knees and revcrcntly thanked the tod or battles and of love. Widowed hearts were sadly proud even in the hour of desolation. Old men and women ceased to mourn their loved ones slain, and reyereEtly thanked God that they hau been permitted to give their frst-born, iree-wiii offering upon the altar oi country and lioerly. And loving womanhood, and pratling childhood, and age with its silver crown oi honor waiting in heaven, slept peacefully and well that Sabbath night, and dreamed of the brave boys-cominS home.
 Around us press those thronging mem ores Back comes that past. Into these asles and by your sides shadowy forms are gathering. The comrade who wasted in the hospital; he who fell by the waysde; he who with you you went over the rlne- pit 1; and all are hcre-the living and the dead We take the old touch of elbow and are one in the deathlcss bonds of eternal union. By the memories so tender, so beyond all uttcrance, oy the brave ones gone, by the defeats so patiently borne, by the victories so justly won and so mercifally used-we plead with Thee thou God of our fathers, to keep the land thus saved. And may the peace which fell that Sabbath morn so tenderlv on land and flag long remain unbroken.
 Il is not alone the eloquence of the foregoing section of country; no, the sentiments Of charity for all men, for brothery love and alice ton the plea for honest government and the re5ukc it administers to the guerilla carpet-bag- gers and army camp followers who have plum dered the South and dsgraccd the Republic, will go far towards, inpressing its welcome truism upon every honest heart.
