and Butler took equal parts, furni hinl
both Information and suggestions. John

the same terms as the Army OF Northen
Virginia. .-..r
Butler, in reply to a question, answered
that probably not more than four thou
sand cavalry remained to be paroled. The
rest had already left for home. JEFF. Davis
had fled with large body guard Of cavalry,
as soon as soon as Shelman's dispatch had
reached Greensboro, on the 24th. He had.
probably, sought the mountains. There
were, in all probability. eight thousand in
in the cavalry corps. Wade Hampton had
probably left too, as he went to Greensboro
from Hills horo on either the oath or 18th

to supply quartermasters with funds to re-
compense country dealers for supplies, and
thus restore confidence, currency and enter

It is due to Sherman to testify that from
what ! could see on my nde through Nolth
CAROLINA meeting citizens and soldiers of Ill
anks, Sherman seems to have conquered
vice, the second time by his magnanimity,
md SO effrctualy that those ] spoke with
coupled name so hated by them with sin
ere honor and reverence. Sherman, by
he South, at least, seems likely to be re-
RENDERED next to Lincoln as q pacifcator
