ALaxkHbaiA, Va., May 22d, 1865. . .'' " . . , You will see by the date of tMa letter, that I am nearer borne now than I have been for soma time. . One year ago, to-day, our Regt. (61st 0, 0. V. I.) was for the second time engaged with Hood's army, after reporting back to the field from veteran furlough, and since that time we have been almost continually on the more, and we are now lying at rest near the Poto mac, after one of the longest and bardeet campaigns of the war. I will give you as nearly as I can the distances to the different places we have 'been marched. From Chattanooga to Atlanta, one hundred and thirty miles- Atlanta to Savannah, three hundred miles- from there to Goldsboro', via Columbia and Winsboro', S. S., four hundred and ninety- six miles from Goldsboro' to Raleigh, K. C, fifty-five miles Raleigh to Richmond, one hundred and eighty-fire miles Richmond to Alexandria, one hundred and thirty-one miles; making in all a march of twelve hundred and ninety-seven miles. So you may well suppose we are sorely in want of rest. I had only two pairs of shoes and two pairs of pants in all that time, that I drew from Government. If you had seen me when I came into Goldsboro yOu would hare laughed. I was attired as follows: a Southern Confederacy Palmetto straw hat, with the rim half torn off! And mv hair stick. ng out at the top ; one old boot without a heel and one shoe, a number twelve, with my toes out in front: a pair of rebel pants, with corporal's stripes down the leg, and on one knee an normous patch of XJ. S. blue ; ou the other a hole of about six inches in diameter. aervel the place of a patch. To crown all, a coat that had once been the pride of some dashing confederate officer, with a star -on each side of toe collar and two rows of buttons on the breast and gold lace on the sleeve, from the cuff to the elbow, not forgetting the spike tail, which came down to jot "calves." Of tails I ann- pose it once had an ample share, but when I got this never-to-be-forgotWn plec of gobds. or yor most recollect that spike tail are generally lh twb parts, arid this was the case with fiiitie,) was almost torn off. lace, buttons and all. and looked rerr much to ma aa if tha gallant weifet had been In a very great hurt ry in getting through a thltket.

" VTrite soon, and gire me the history of ererything and erery body within the corporation, for the last nix months. '. v'. :. ' ' ":" Jack. '-' ITet Terr Complimentary to the Keir England Puritan. ? The editor of the Chicago Times notices the statistical fact that the children of foreign pa rents m Massachusetts, born erery year, now exceed the births of natire parents in a man ner by no means complimentary to our pleasant and self-satisfied oouotrymen near the rising of the sua. It says : '. :' There is a comforting assurance in thecon" tem plat ion of these facts that eoes far toward- dissipating the fear, entertained by many, that Puritanism is about to inundate this continent. One can notice in this decrease in the natire New England stock the working of one of . na ture's wisest .provisions. We find in examin ing tbe eooneiuy of animal reproduction that fecundity in a species is in the reverse propor1 tton to its harm fulness. Lions, tieers. ele phants, hyenas, and other beasts of destructive natures, propagate with difficulty, and only at long intervals- On the other 'hand, animals, whose existence is of value to the World, mul tiply with rapidity, and to an extent that defies extinction. . ; , i "Man is only a sort of superior animal ; and there is no reason to doubt 'that nature : har. embodied in the economy of the human vann the same provisions which are used torr-rnlA.te the increase of inferior species. It : may be that precisely the fiama means are not employed in the case of raracious anH Mimx. tive races Of men that are used to hindar .thii undue increase of the sam types amone the lowef orders of animal Vife. Thus, whil the constitutional characteristics of th bloodthirsty tiger or the destructive elephant pre vent procreation, berond a certain and limited extent, the same result is reached by different, but not less sure means, in tbe cases of destructive clap'aes of mankind. a - ''In place of putting 'rats and mice' in her front hair, and cultivating her back hair, and her appearance and emotions with reference, to securing a husband, the Massachusetts Mies puts on a pair of spectacles, and cultivates theology and philanthropy with reference to the amelioration of the condition of the odorous bondmen of the South. In place of gravitating toward maternity, the -Puritan-daughters lend toward school-teaching. Instead of anxiously anticipating the time when ehe shall love, care for, and educate her own children, the New England maiden looks forward to the time when Blie shall be permitted to superintend a few dozen young niggers somewhere in the 'Sunny South." :. ,v If the Times doea'not look 0ut, tbe Massa? chuaetta -women will put rata and mieax4n 4is Appearanee of .General Bherman. v The Cleveland (O.) Leader - thus ' describes the personal appearance -of General Sherman who has lately passed through that city; It says:... ' . " He has a fine figure, is tall, slim, and wears an extremely nervous aspect. The pho-tdgraphers give his head with 'consjdeeable correctness, although art has given . him a more Websterian brow than nature allows.- His head is massive, broad high and deep. His eye. is full, and of a hasel color; we judged in the gas light. It is restless, and when not bent sharply on distance has an introverted expression. His nose -is prominent and wears a fierce, insatiate, hungry expression, resembling a symetar. His sandy beard is close cropped, and moustache $nd goatee of light color. The lines of his face around the eyes and mouth are very expressive, and a physiognomist would say: Here ii a man born to command. And yfetthere is nothing in the man's appearance calculated to infuse awe into one approaching him. This' is due to tbe fact that be puts on no 'style' whatever and also to tha fact already: noted, that he seems so self-involved and unconscious of others. Hedoes Udt seem to see you, and that absehce of scrutiny relieves one of the fright one usually feels in the presence of th great." the Opposition of the Badicali. The Nashville Union, which may per b ape, be regarded as the home oran. of President Johnson, in its issue of the 6th inst.,' says: -The failure of the Administration to coma up to tbe standard of the most progressive of the anti-slavery Radicals, will, probably, cause the formation of a strori? onnoaiiion party, composed of active, enterprising aggres sive elements. The loss of thea tn tlf A. ministration party might be regarded with seriousness, were it not for the assurance that their places wonld soon be filled by Headier and more reliable supporters. . If this should be me result; the country would be benefitted by the change. '- "The holier of c.WMntTa aHa n bHHli hti.

For four yeara I have been in camp dealing wkh soldiers, and I can assure you' that the conclusion at which tbe Cabinet arrived with such singular unanimity differs from mine. I conferred freely with the best officer in this army as to the points involved in this con tro-ressy, and, strange to say, they Were singularly unanimous in the other conclusion ; and they will learn with pain and amazement that lam deemed insubordinate and.wanting in common secse : that I- whri.ib the 'complications of last year, worked day and night, sum mer and winter, for the cauae.and the administration, and who hare brought 'an army of seventy thousand men - in magnificent style abross a country deenied impaasaole, and placed it just where it waa wanted almost on the day. appointed,' hare brought discredit on our govern- aent.- I ao noi wian ouast oi.mia; out -i dear that It entitled me to the courtesy of being consul te-1 before publishing to the world a proposition rightfully submitted to higher authority for adjudication; and then accompanied by other statements which invited the press to be let loose tipon me. - It ia true that non-combatants men who sleep in comfort and security while we watch on the distant lines-are better able to judge than we poor aoldiers, who rarely see a newspaper, hardly can bear from oar families, or stop long enough to get our pay. a- :. v ' '-" -' : I envy not I be task or reconstruction, .and am delighted ibat the Secretary, has .relieved ma of it.

Johnston admitted the terma- conceded to General Lee Were maguanimoua and all he could ask, but wanted some concessions that would enable him to maintain his control over them until they could be got back to their homes. He also wanted to embrace in the same general proposition the fate of all the Confederate ar mies that remained in existence. I never made any concessions as to his own army, or assumed to deal finally or authoritatively in regard to any other ; but it did seem . to me that there was presented a chance for peace that might be esteemed valuable to the gorem ment of tbe United states, and waa at -least worth the few days there would be consumed In reference thereto.

United States; and last, and not least, tbe general and last, and not least, the general and universal desire to close a war any longer without or ganized resistance, were the .leading facts that induced me to pen tbe .'memorandum of April lo, signed by myself and General Johnston- it waa aesignea 10 ve, ana so expressea on its face, as a mee 'bases' for reference to the President of the United States and constitutional Commander-in-Chief, ' to - enable himi, if he chose, at one blow, to dissipate the military power of the Confederacy which had threatened the national safety for years. It admitted of modifications, alterations, and change. It had no appearance of an ultimatum, and by no false reasoning can it be construed into a usurpation of power on my part. I. have my opinions oh the questions involved, and will stand by the memoradum. But this forma no part of a military report."

A Point 2Iade in the Jefferson Davis Trial ,--; The Dayton (O.) Empire makes the following point in connection with the trial of Mr. Daris. We think it well taken : ' Thb TaiAL or Jxrrsasow Dans. AThfere seems to be no doilbt now that the charge of complicity in the assassination of President Lincoln, on the strength of which a reward of $100,000 was offered for the arrest of Mr. Daris, is to be abandoned and the prisoners put on trial for treason. The bill of Indictment drawn by District Attorney Carrington and returned by the Grand-Jury, is published. It predicates the. charge bpon tbe attack on Fort Strong, near Washington, by Early dad Breck-enridge last July. " . ' It is due to President Johnsbh. reputation, to the dignity of tbe Government and to Mr. Davis, that the charge of his complicity in the assassination should be withdrawn as formally as it was made, or he be given an opportunity to disprove it. The utter failure of the evidence adduced by Stanton and Holt to implicate any of the Southern men named, lea res the impression that they intended to stigmatize them with the . infamous .charge, without being called Upon for tbe evidence upon which it rested. Tbe clamor, of the press against a secret star-chamber, trial, obliged them to open the doors of their court." and expose the character of the " Bureau ,of Military Justice."
