PRAISE OF ALL THE ARMIES.
With the following paragraph General
Grant closes his report: gums lin
1t has been my fortune 10 see the
armies of both the west and east fight
battles, and from what | have seen !
know there is no difference in their
fighting qualities. All that it was posi-
bic for men to do in battle they have
done. The western armies commenced
their battles i'm the Mississippi valley,
and received the final surrender OF
the remnant of the principal army
opposed to them in North Caro-
lima. The armies of the east com
menced their battles ON the river from
which the army of the Potomac de-
rived its name, and received the sllrren-
der of its old antagonist at Appomattox
Courthouse Virginia. The splendid
achievements of each have nationalized
our victories, removed all sectional jeal-
ousies (of which we have unfortunately
experienced too much), and the cause Of
crimination and reeriminaton that
might have followed had either section
failed in It's duty. All have a proud re-
cord, and all sections can well congratil-
late themselves and each other for hav-
ing done their full share i'm restoring the
supremacy of the law over every foot of
territory belonging to the United States.
Let them hope for perpetual peace and
harmony with that enemy whose man
hood, however mistaken the cause, drew
forth such herculean deeds of valor.
| have the honor to be very respect
fully, your obedient servant,

ment exceedingly demonstratiye. The
escort was composed of the Forty seventh
regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers.

fourth New York, and detachment of

were present, and on the arrival of their
cOmmander-in-chief,s everaIly extended
their welcome. General Grant Then
proceeded 10 the headquarters of General
SIckles. The evening was the occasion
of demonstration by the colored citi
zens. These, to the number of five or
eight hundred, gathered in procession,
with a flag and a triangular Transparent
cy bearing the words Union League
Number One, and marched to tic resi-.
dence of General SckIes, in Charlotte
street. rf+t-l y -iC+is' |
General Grant came forward TO the |
railing of the portico of the mansion,
and simply bowed his thanks. |
At this moment a white man, Mr.. Cof-
I'm, addressed the General as follows:

The correspondence between General
Mejia and General Weilzel is, as we say
in the country, spicy. Maximilian's
.MNlaatamoros commander had complained
among other things, that Weitzel's Off
GERS fraternized with the Mexican
" liberals" General Weitzel replied
to this that it would be impossible to
prevent it, and reminded Mejia that
during our late war, the officers and
men of French and English men-of-
war lying in ports in our military DOS
session affiliated continually and excIu4
siveiy with our enemiesAlas at New
