LETTER FROM MR. FILLMORE

BurraLo, Aug. 12, 1864.

Joux Bezz Roginson. Esq.—Dear Sir :—Your kind favor of the 30 ult., came to hand on the 6th inst. and now I have just received yours of the 8th, and while [ fully and gratefully appreciated your kind attentions, I hesitate about responding to your inquiries chiefly because I am unwilling to write anything for publication. 4 While I take the deepest interest in the fate of my country, and look with painful apprehension to the fu” ture, yet I have retired from public life, and can hardly appear again before the public, even by letter, without having my motives impugned and misrepresented, and therefore 1 have invariably refused to attend any public meeting or write anything for publication. Ris J sincerely feel that the country is on the verge of tuin, and unless the policy which governs out national] affairs can be changed, we must soon end in national bankruptey and a military despotism. Perhaps the former cannot uow be averted, but the latter may ; but in my opinion the policy can only be changed bÿ a change of Administration.

Every thing seeras to have been made to unite and exaspérate the South, and intensify its hatred to the .Nortti,so as to render a union impossible ; but still I am uot without hope that a change of Administration mey

change the feelings of the South towards us, and ultis mately bring about a restored union and an honorable peace ; but Ï have no faith in that policy which purpo-: ses {0 exterminate the South or hold it by military sub. jugation. | :* To maintain this Union by force of arms merelÿ: would require a Standing army that would exhaust all the ressources of the nation, and necessarilÿ convert our Government into a military despotisin. This is à result that no patriot can contemplate without horror, But I have said more than I entended and you will please consider it private, and beleive me.

Yours, &e., | MILLARD FILLMORE.

On hjs arrival at Greenboro the cars were closed round by a throng of citizens of all ages and both sexes, to catch a glimpse of the immortal hero. Bring waited upon, Gen. Beauregard presented himself on the car platform, and after the band had finished a patriotic air, he made a handfomeencouraging, conversational speach. He said we have been crowned with many victories ; that we must look for some reverses ; that every rose had its thorns, and we are ever ard anon to feel them; that he never despairs, even in the midst of the most terrible bat tes : that all is going well at Richmond and Peters. burg ; that we must endure, hope and fight, and our independance will be vouchsafed by the wise and be. neficient Ruler of 1he Universe.
