' " Ai I continued looking, an expression of sublime benignity came gently upon the vis age, and, for the last time, I heard this slow, solemn voice, saying- to me gomething like this: "General JlcClellan, while yet in the fiesh, I beheld the birth of the American Republic. It whs, indeed, a hard and bloody one, but God's blessing was upon the notion, and therefore, through this, her fi at great strug struggle - gle struggle for existence, he sustained her, and with His mighty hand brought her out trium triumphantly. - phantly. triumphantly. " A century has not passed since then, and yet the Child Republic has taken her position, a peer with nations whose pages, of history extends for ages into the past. She has, since those dark days, by the favor or God. greatly prospered. And now, by every rea reason - son reason of this prosperity, has she beet brought to her second great struggle. '"I'h; is by far. the most perilous ordeal she has to endure. Fassing, as she is, from childhood to opening maturity, she is called on to accomplish that vast result, Pe'l'-conquest, to learn that im im-the - the im-the future, will place her in the van of pow power - er power and civilization. It is portant lesion, Self Self-control, - control, Self-control, Self-rule, that inhere that ali nations have hitherto failed, and she too, the Republic of the earth, had not God willed otherwise, would, by to-morrow's sun-set, have been a broken heap of stonea cast up over the final grave of human liberty. ''But her cries have come up out of her borders like sweet incense unto Heaven and she will be saved. Thus shall peace once more come upon her, and prosperity fill her with joy. But her mission will not then be ;et f.nihed, for ere another ccnlury shall have gone by, the oppressors of whole earth, ha'itig and envying her exaltation, shall join themselves together and raise up their hands against her. " Bt;t if cho still be lound worthy of her high calling, they shall surely be d'.wo'.nStted, and then will be ended her third and last Great Struggle for existvnee! " Thenc eforth shall the Republic go on, increi ;ng in goodness and power, nntil her borders hall end only in the remotest corn et of the earth, and the whole earth shall, beneath her shadowing wings, become a L niversal Republic. Let her in her prosperi prosperity, - ty, prosperity, however, remember the Lord, her God: J let her trust be always in Him, and she shall never bo confounded. ,: The heavenly visitant ceased speaking, andi 6a 1 stuI continued gazing upon him f , , . , i.aei to i.i". aiM ra; ;eJ autt efjiei'J out hi hii.dri above me. No sound now passed hw !i;.. but I felt a strange iniluance coming ovr ci. I inclined my head forward to re re-coive - coive re-coive the blessing, the baptism of the spirit of rVehington. "The following instant a peal of thunder rolld in upon my ears, and I awoke. The Vii-ioji hfi-i departed, and I was again sitting in ray derartuieut, with every thing exactly s it was before I fell asleep with one ex exemption. - emption. exemption. " The map on which I had dreamed I had been n.f.rking. was literally covered tvith a a K'tf-yrk of pencil marks, signs and figures. " I rose to my feet, and rubbed my eves, and look a turn or two about the room, to convince myself that I was really awake. I JCain seated myself, but the pencilinga were as plain as ever, and I had before me as com complete - plete complete a map and repository of information as though I had spent year in gathering and recording its details. "ily mind now become confused with the strange and numberless ideas and thoughts that crowded themselves into it, and I invol involuntarily - untarily involuntarily sank down upon my knees to seek wisdom and guidance from on high. As I arose refreshed in spirit, that same solemn voice seemed to say to me, from an infinite distance : " Tour ii, ne is short! Tarry r.otP' "In an instant thought became clear and active. Hastening out couriors.wilh orders to have executed certain maneouvcrs at certain points, (guiding myseli by that now, in mv eyes, unearthly map,) I threw myself into the saddle; and long ere daylight, galloping like the tempest, from post to post and camp to camp, had the happiness to divert the enemy from his object, which, my friend, I assure you, would have proved entirely suc successful - cessful successful by reasons of the last piece of treachery, had not Heaven interposed. " That map i looked upon by no human eye, stve my own, and, therefore, treachery can uo us no naim. i nave on it every w:ut of information that I ne-.'d, information that the enemy would give millions to keep from us. The fate of the war is settled. ' The rebellion truly seems Very form'dable, but it is only struggling .in the path ot an avalanche, The mighty, toppling mass of National power and retribution will, until the proper moment comes, now and then let, slip down upon its victim forerunners of its approach. And when the proper moment dees come it will sweep down. upon, ami forever annihilate disunion with a th uider that shall reverberate ' throughout the world for ages upon agea to come. " Sir, there (hall be no more Bull Run affairs ! "God has stretched forth his arm, and the American Union is saved ! And our be beloved, - loved, beloved, glorious Washington shall again rest o'lietlv, sweetly in his tomb until perhaps. the end of the prophetic century approaches i that is to bring tho Republic to her third j and Enal striK'Ho. when he may. once more ' laying aside the cerements of Mount Vernon, come a messenger of succor and peace, from the Oreat Ruler, who has all the nations of the Earth in His keeninsr.

The table was still before me, aud the maps, 11 crumbled in my lightening clutch, were still before me; but everything else bad dis disappeared. - appeared. disappeared. The furniture was gone, the walls of the apartment were gone, the ceiling was sot to be seen. All I saw was the tableau I am ibont to describe to you. "My gaze was turned Southward, and there spread out before me, was a living map, yes a living map, that Is the ouly expression I can think of as befitting the scene. In on grand, covp Tril my eye took in the whole expanse of country, as far south as the Culf of Ifexico and from :he Atlantic ocean on the eia lo tie Xfii-;isinpi river wftwartily. "But before fully fixing my attention up on the immense scene, however, I thoujlit of the mysterious visitant, whose voice I had kt?ared but a moment previous aud, I looked toward him. An apparition stood on my lelt, somewhat in front, at a distance ol about six feet for me. I (ought for his features, hoping to recognize him. But I was disap disappointed, - pointed, disappointed, for the statute-like figure was nought but a vapor, a cloud, havinp only the general outlines of a man.

To de Editor of the Xew Yorli Tribune: Sir : Allow me space in your columns to say . I. It is with much regret that I mark the surprise of Northerners and Northern presses at the "discovery of a s'rong L'nion senti sentiment - ment sentiment in Teunesiea" and elsewhere in the South. Three months ago, I took occasion T: along letter, published in the Tiioune and copied into many other journals, to give to the pub public - lic public a detailed expose of the state of affairs South. In that letter I claimed, and I nor, nor,-repeat, - repeat, nor,-repeat, that the Unionists are. as to numbers, in the majority in Tennessee. Senator John Johnson - son Johnson concurs with me in this opinion. So does Mr. Haynard. So does Ifr. Lithe-ridge, Colo Colonel - nel Colonel Trigg, R. J. Meigs. Esq., now of your city, and every other Tennessee e-iiln with whom I have conversed. Are we all mista mistaken - ken mistaken ? or" what sinister purpose have we to subserve in making an unfounded statement of so gravo a nature ? II. You chronicle wtlh delight that old men shed tears of joy upon the ascent of the old flag up the Teuue3c-e. I venture to as assert - sert assert there are this day in Middle Tennosspe twenty thousand men anxious to imperil their blood upon the battle-field to share in the im immortal - mortal immortal honor of crushing out the most un ungracious - gracious ungracious rebellion known since the secession ot tiie devil and Ins angeis irum heaven to hell's abyss. Twenty thousand ! I hope the Government will trive them arms and. a chance. III. The Union party of the South is com composed - posed composed of one-half the regular Democrats, four four-iifths - iifths four-iifths of the Douglas voters, and three fifths of the Bell and Everett men. -IV. "Now I e ,: ill it ting question Why are not Southern L'nion men in the L'nion armies? Lor the same reason, Sir, that Northern Secessionists are not in the Secession armies. The other side in Tennessee armed first arm armed - ed armed under the Gnvernoi-'sprochuuationand the authority of the Legislature. There were no arms left among us. We could get none from Washington. We Were subjugated prison prisoners - ers prisoners of War. . My voice was for war from the beginning war for preventing enlistments in our neigh neighborhoods - borhoods neighborhoods for the Southern Confederacy. But my party overruled me, on the ground that a display of bravery under the circumstances would be mere foolhardiness. I left the State. I V. And now some unpalatable facts. The Democratic party had so long talked of se seceding, - ceding, seceding, that the mass of their own voters and of Ihe Whigs never would believe they would attempt secession in fact. The mass of Ten Ten-ncssceans - ncssceans Ten-ncssceans were so amazed that a rebellion should break out without a decent bill of grievances, that they still regard it as a mere party trick to make the Administration back down from the Chicago riatform ; and hence the' took no active part against them in time to be effective. In Tennessee, we were Whigs and Demo Democrats, - crats, Democrats, between whom, as parlies, there al always - ways always has been a bitterness, political and so social, - cial, social, which for years I expected to result in appeals to arms, in addition to the duels and fisticuffs frequently growing out of it. Mr. Lincoln's proclamation caino out aud the question was: Who are you for. Lincoln or Davis? We old Whigs Union men repli replied: - ed: replied: " C e!it!or,-.n Democrats, you have arms, we have none. You sec we can't light you. We think it very ungracious of you to ask us to fight for you. This is a democratic rebellion. You got it up you must fight it out. We wash our hands of this great treason. We cannot help yon ; we wiil throw tin obstacles in your way. If you whip Lincoln ws will yield you the undivided glory of that achieve achievement. - ment. achievement. If Lincoln whips yo t, your be the undivided shame !"' " Yes, but,'' replied the Democracy, " ye are fighting for ihi- rights of the South!" We ret lied : ' We ih.u't see it. We on!" sec that you are beaten in an election oust ousted - ed ousted from place aud you now make war for office. We concur with the Northern people, that you are unfit to rule this nation. We cannot fight to reinstate you." That is what we said. VI. It so happens, that the leaden; of the Southern rebellion are personally and politi politically - cally politically the most odious men in the South. And hence, even if wc did not care a straw for the L'nion, we would rejoice to see them beaten in the contest. For ten years, Toombs, Da- vis, Slidell, Mwm, Hunter, Yancey, Rhctt, Harris it Co.. have been as hateful to South- I ern L'nion men, as ever were Weed, Giddhtgs, ! Greeley, or Wendell Phillips. And yet you ' are surprised that Tennessteans shed tears of: iov. as defeat after defeat overtakes these in- ! tenia traitors! Let me asmre you the most j melancholy news that ever came to Temies- I see was that of the battle of Manassas.! I Thank God. we can offset that now I !

VII. Another that kept L'nion men in the South neutral or quiet, was the convic conviction - tion conviction that a sectional war at some time or oth other - er other was inevitable. The argument on both sides seemed exhausted. " Let them fight, and settle it in that way," was an expression not uncommon. The Democratic presses and orators of the South were so given to lying, that it was given up S3 a hopeless task to at attempt - tempt attempt to vindicate our North n brethren from their assaults. It was natural we should be glad to have them vindicate themselves by arms. Our only regret is that this war in involves - volves involves the innocent with the guilty in its ca calamities. - lamities. calamities. VIII. I do not write often f or the pres', and while I am at it, I want to whisper a word in thine ear in thine especially. It is this: Let Slavery alone till this tear be ovrr. I detest slavery as cordially as you or Charles Sumuor perhaps more, for I have passed all my life in the very midst of it. We Union men South are willing that Slavery shall lake the legitimate consequences of the war; thai, in so far as niggers are in the way nf suppres suppressing - sing suppressing the rebellion, niggers must be put out of the way; that slavery shall peiiih, rather than L'nion Liberty. But But wo Southern Unionists can never agre? that Slavery shall be abolished, and yet nig- eers not be removed from among us. Ton advocate a free nigger baibarianism for the South. "No more o' that, Hal, an thou low est us! IX. Three propositions are clea" to my mind : First The aboli ion of sb . orv ,n thi. time by any means is an absolute impossibili ty. Second The advocacy of an indiscrimi indiscriminate - nate indiscriminate abolition of slavery throughout the South, by loyal presses and Congressmen tods only to strengthen the rebellion by infuriating and enlarging its soldiery, aud driving othvr ns good Union men from the support of the Ad Administration. - ministration. Administration. And Ihird An attempt by the Federal Government to abolish shivery gen generally - erally generally will be a virtual proclamation of end endless - less endless dissolution, the death-knell of the Repub Republic; - lic; Republic; for the simple reason that you can never conquer a consolidated South with a divided North. With the North a unit and the .South divided we have her hands full. Reverse the positions, the case would be hopeless. . X. I know you think nigger-hoh-ers ne necessarily - cessarily necessarily disloyal. I deny it. We inherited the institution, and deplore it as a great social and political misfortune, of which .at some period we hope to get rid. But when we hear such men as Horace Greeley and Dr. Reecher denounce the .South as "a devil's drn'Tjiicl uf! men -reared in n slave Slate as worthless and shiftless." we wonder why you desire a L'nion with us. No: the b: .sines .sines-now - now .sines-now before us is to put down the rebellion ; punish the rebels by confiscation, b.tnishmcn. or death., restore the L'nion ; re-establish the Constitution; enforce the laws; and unfurl the National banner from id! the rampart of the Republic, rs in the times gone by. Is it not our Union, our country, onrCoiv-ti'.u'ion, and laws, and Hag, as much as yours? Are you waning on the South, or the rebel that are in it? XL I writo to encourage the nations! patriotism, bv assuring the national heart that there is a Union element South strong enough to elect Federal Congressmen and lova! T.c islaturcs. as soon as the present despoti-rn there shall be dissolved; and that as 100a as Union men there can command the mails and presses for concert of action, and can get arms, they will help to frea themselves, I am, Sir, very respectfully, Your very obedient servant, WM. S. SPEER, of Te:i!tc?s"e. Jefferson Hotel, N. Y. City, Feb. 13, 1lM2. No, Sir! You never heard any such thing !

Two o'clock of tie Ihird night after Gvn. McClel'an'a arrival in ohirrton to tke command of trie TJaited States Army, found that justly eminent soldier pflitrfng over several maps, and reports of sesuts. As the "hour came toiling through the ht, together with the dull rumbl'ng of army wagons and artillery wheels, the weari wearied - ed wearied hero, pushing from him Lis maps and re reports, - ports, reports, leaned his forehead on his folded arms upon the table before him and fell asleep so deep that ereji to occasional booming of the heavy guns, being placed in position on the entrenchments, was insufficient to disturb it. " I could not have been slumbering thus more than ten minutes." said that Gen. to an intimate friend, to whom he related the narrative, "when I thought the door of my room, which I had varefully locked, was thrown suddenly open, and some one strode up to me, and, laying a hand upon my shoul shoulder, - der, shoulder, said, in a slow, solemn voice: u Geueral McChTtan, do you slfep at your jiost?

"There was a poculieri'y about it this time; it seemed as though I a mere atom of matter was suspended in the centre of an infinite space, and that the voice came from a hollow dis'ance all around me. As the laH word was uttered I regained, by some fit and yet vnlcnown power, my voli volition, - tion, volition, with the change, the grape-suot-dis-charge sensation in my brain ces.-ed, and a (trange tuit tiew one seized my heart; one as of a huge rough icicle being sawed baeir and forth through aud through me.
