NEw YoRz, Jan. 2O.-The Tribane's
Washington special says one Of the
results of Secretary stsuton's visit to
SIvannxh, Is 70 solve a doubt as to
the soundness Of General sherman on
the negro question. This soldiers views
and policy are those Of the Government,
and his treatment Of the negroes Of savan-
nah has inspired them with confidence, and
they rely on him wholly. He has borne in
his heart a great scheme for the esneht Of
their race Ia Georgia and it is understood
here that the countryswill belelectri6ed in
f-w days by an order from him par itiol lag
among them the abandoned sea Island prop
srty of fugitive rebel plsntsrs, and esta6-
fishing them in their new freehold, and
laying the foundation Of new social con-
dtion in the South upon a suPe-strueture
which few politjsians in the country arc
now permitted clearly 10 see.
The Herald's Washington special says
P. Blair, sr., will start for Richmond sgain
Tomorrow. Since his return he has been
in frequent and close consultation with the
President snd other leading members Of the
Administration, bat what the character Of
bis oonmunication has been, OF with what
authority be is low clothed, is, IS Jet, IN
known. That he should 50 soon return, is
sn indication Of his having been charged
with some communication By Mr.. Davis, the
tenor Of which has not been msde public
and which, in connection with the success
es achieved oy our forces since his interview
with the rebel Executive, and the evident
dlsinclination Of the mass Of the Southern
people to continue the war, induces belief
on the part Of the Administration that the
resources Of satssrnauship may now be use
fully employed, , in connection with vigor-
Gus prosecution Of military and naval oper-
ations, aud bring about termination Of the
existing difficulties. At al events, tits GER
that he returns at once 70 the rebel Capitol.
This would indicate that Mr.. Blair's frst
mission was far more successful than wss al
lowed to transpire.
