I sent you a check fior $*0, aud have received no receipt or anything from you since. To day I received a letter fro'm Ilar 'per's Ferry in which is the followiong sentence : "The report is current helow1 that Ihro. lunljee has gone over to tlhe'rebeii, and is going to stuimp for Tildeu and Hendricks. I am afiaid it is so." ' Stv ';ua brother D., is ;lh'tr, any truth in that reportl I ave you evln had a thoulght of doing such a thing ? If Nou have, I pray you pa u.e helote you take a single step in lhat direction. Such a course wouldhi he a causet of great grief to all your true friend,, and all the trule lovers of 1 freedom and pIiety. In doing this t you will bring a woundi andl re prunch upon your mission-work among freedmlen, and ruin your own usefulnuess as a lituilster of Chrlist. Hlow will all those feel who have con tlihuted frolt your support in ourI mission work for Richutond meeting house, etc., if you now desert your brethren and go over to the old Rebs, I the haters of the colored man and the, I causc of freedom, andl oive your in fthlnce to strengthenu the hards ofl such men as Jettf avis and those who have mulrdthed thousaodl and I thousaidls of yo'ur colored blrethren at i the South wit'hin a few years pIst, to, Idwevenlt thel f1'1ron voting for the 4ncause of their own God-given rights tit this cua not he ; I will no believe it can be so till 1 hear ori)e' from youI. . )Do writo me by return mail ald send, receiptt far lifty dotllu s, and tell ome if there is any voundation for the re Iprt to which I have all: Med.; and S>~i entreated to go nio tht'l'br iin tlha; direction, if you tave .t ikeaI oirle ,'ep, until \Vot consult %vith vy ur , (to friends., H'rtlhers Murtkil, Branck.tit, Stewart, allrgess, Anthony, Chase, ' &c.,|&c.

I7t6-.ear flrother (. urtist : 10uits of July 2o is before ime, aslking mle abouit rmnors which you have heard in regard, to my going over to the "rebels." First, I would state that I have tried to fulfil my whole duity in myo work here, atnd have not at any time l ol - glected my missuion duties. No iman is more interested in all that pertaius to the best welfare of the colored peo ple and their highest development. I .So, I have tried to conduct myself! teach Ilmyl people that it is their Chris tian duty to make friends with the white people of the Somth, amongi whom they live. This can be (done without sacrificing aniy principle of mauhood; in fact, the Southern tp)eo ple do not ask the colored petople to comlpromise a single right. But we who lhe here see the great imlpor lance of a full and manly reeoncilia tion betweenI the two ralces. This can be dloue by dividing the colored ' ivote between the two parties. As soon as it is thus divided they will Cease to be an object of ostracism' and hone of contention. Both partleus will then treat them with due respec',. Take Virginia, and the white people of this State are ais fieindly to the colored peopllle as they ae anywhere in Americal the most frindly feel ings exist betwe te ti two races. Whlat we who are interested in the great cause of humanity are endelev oritug to do is to hreak dowu all cil or lines,a ndl altogether forget slavery, the war and tire past, aum go on to higher attainments and a broader Christian manhood. I ielieve the white people of the South are true t t the lprofessins they are now making. t They do not desire any ore slavery ;. they will stand by all tie results of tle war; they are in thle Union to go K out no more forever. They are lablor iog nobly in our State foir public eldu cation, ivithiut regard to color. I have every right inll Richmond that I Y woul have n in Bostion. They are t doing all for the colored people in a t benevolent way they caIr (.o You t know the late war laid( its witheritng hand upon the South, and there are imany poor people, both white and black ; notwi'thstanding, there are manv of thie white geitlemiei wihe have contributed largely to missio' work for our people in Ricihmond and other places in the South. There are 31,hI)i colored people in this city who U are dlependinig on the whites for the bread they eat. .Manly pak pel Ille ofn olor would starve to deathll he a but for the kindness of the whites in giving them sheltter and food. Yoiu can have no idea of the tute onmdi tion of things here. Now in the face of all these facts, I iti tillt think the whiite people of the South very dnn gerots rebels. Just a word abiut some of ouil' troubles. You haIve heard mleh talk about carpet baggers." Yoir have no idea the amount of trouble these men have given us. Men' who| were of the worst character in the Noilth, who were from the lowest haunts of New York and Boston, men as bad as crime could make them, who were negro haters in the North, have come South and taken advan tage of the ignorance of the colered people, and have been elevate( to places of high trust in our State g )v erniitetS, for the sole plurposoe on their part to plunder the public. This same class of ieen hlave arr;lyed the colonle:l people against the whites for political iurposes. and, wheu trouble cotiuo., desert thaon. All the isobs which we have hlad in the South have lbeen gotten up by badi men. I know we haive some lawiless white men here, but tihe good iteople of the South niust not be bla:med fol' their acts. You have them at the Not th with you. This e ihi and fruitles tcOlltelt has beetn goiing, on for years, and who are the snibfrers I 'lThe cnl ored men, being the teake'r pairty, ialways lose groiund, and iiitist at last go to the wall if the flght. i.s kept tip. , klow yvout, il N' i'' H"'trtpl'lir e, Itlt.v not see this matter as I do, but I tell you that the negro of the Mouthl mioist go unider if the policy of the last few years is to be contintued. Not, If the Honme Missions ll,aird dischalrges tie for these enlltil eilt:, I rtegtilt it, but canniot yictd ilty honest convic tions, I taut morry" I {canot make theist Ssee ilti rightftntuess of m.' positionil. You ask ome what the iplrsotns wlho have conltribhted froiht ,timeo to tiime . flmy m! lplo t wouhl think. To this I wouldl say, if' they uoIn idstootd lly trte position they woutl, I think, malke tlhose conltrihltiton InIore read ily than ever. The tie-io is iow i passin through the most critical pe riod of his history, and his detiny fior good iOl evil will le sealhed by hi.s action. If he :arrays himself against the white people. lie Inst, sooiner or later, he grotnd to powder. There is tno natulral latagottlisltl be tween the two races in the iillthi ; the whites and blacks were born and broiught iup togethelr, atld roust live and i tli togtlther.

Out of oflice, he would return to olsculi ty, and he a ltnre cipher socially awl politically. Nothing but the dread of i conviction would drive himi into voluntary retiremenet, and on that subject lie has no great cause for alani, after the action in lelknap's case. The senate is organized to acquit all Repubtican rogues, uo matter what may be the proofs of their guilt. The stiongetr the evidence, the more cer tain the acquittal. Belknap confessedt. his rascelity in office, and yet he es caped, though he resigned while the committee was actually trying hisi case. The President did wvbat he could to help him by collusioi. Upon this mui-erab!e pretence, twenty-four lReplublican Selnators protnouncedl him not guilty. Belknap is estimated to have put aside about three hundretl tlhousand dollars as the resullt of his corrupt de iling, while Secretary of War. lie was in a cl Ionliintl to pay well for tcounsel, and for all the arts of de. ifence.

Thera are heads of bureausa is the navy taken from civil life. and in those blureaus s`omre of the greatest ifr;ills hlve been perpetrated. With all these facilities, Robeson must have piled lup more money thani ih elknap. The greater part of it is doubtless in coupon bonds and other securities which pass like a bank note by delivery. lie is too sharp to in. vest largely in property that might be- discovered and reached. If Cat tell had followed his ad\viec there would have been no record of the riscally. tranilactions in whlicll they were matutally concerlned. RobesoBi has oit love for record , and the fact that the Navy, Department was set oni fie live f tirmes in a few!\ week., shalos that his f, iends cherish a simic aveleiotl. - ---~.e - -- A Representative Radical.
