General Grant.
New York, December 3-The Raleigh
Progress, of November SOth, describes the
visit of General Grant and his reception in
that city as follows,
The hero of the war arrived in this city
on Tuesday night. He breakfasted with
General Cemstock alone. For one hour or
more afterward General Grant received the
members of the Legislature and other citi-
zens in the parlors of the hotel. During
their interview with General Grant he con-
versed freely, the most of the time listen
ing 10 tf1r rrmarKs OF DR.. Sloan ann orfIer
gentlemen upon the situation of North
Carolina. He disclaimed, however, any
authority or desire to interfere in any man
ner with the Legislature or the civil gov
ernment in the State, to the full and early
restoration of which he was .desirous
to do all in his power. He said that
he thought the existence of parties of
opinions was necessary to a
healthy condition of the country, though
the preservation of the Union should al
ways be the paramount aim of all parties.
He said he had always avoided the ex-
treme of cOpperheadism or radicalism. He
said he believed the South would be richer
ten years hence than before the war.
During the whole interview the General
was putting his accustomed cigar. AT ten
o'clock, General Grant, accompanied by
General C. B. COmstock, Colonel A. Baden
and Colonel o. E. Babeock, of his staff;
5eneral Ruger, commander of the Depart
nent of North Carolina; General Hardin, |
of this district, and DR.. William |
Sloan, Provisional Treasurer, called on Gov |
rnor Holden, at his residence, and re- |
NAMED an hour or so. The conversation |
vas generally as to the state of the country, |
nd on other topics. Governor Holden ex-
PRESSED regret that the state of his health
vas such as to prevent him from paying
more attention to the distinguished General
nd his staff. While at Governor Holden's,
eneral Grant was waited upon by Block
ler, Manly and Henry, being a committee
rom the House of Commons, and invited to
isit the hall of the House of Commons and
ccupy a seat on floor. General Grant re-
eived the committee with much respect,
nd intimated that he would be pleased to
lsit the Legislature. After leaving the
overnor's, General Grant and party visited
le Capitol and were introduced to both
-ouses of the State Legislature.
We learn that the General left last night
r Wilmington and Charleston. All were
impressed with the plainness of the Gen
ais manner, and his expression in favor
cordial and good feeling between the
lrious sections of the Union. Though his
ay was short, it will be recollected with
ost pleasurable emotions by those of our
contact with him.
