From Washinyton.

WAsHISGToN, December 1.-There is no
doubt that the House of Representatives.
will be organized without difficulty. The
credentials of seven Virginia members, and
all of the Tennessee representatives, have
been received. None others have come to
hand from the South. About one hundred
members have arrived.
Judge Warmoth is here, claiming ad-
mission as a delegate from Louisiana, on
the ground that by the act of secession,
that State reverted to u territorial condi-
ton; He was irrcsularly voted for by
blacks and whites.
The Government has no present appre-
hcnslon of difficulties with France or Maxi
milan. Gen. Grant speaks for himself
In perhaps the best and highest quarters
here, where friendship exists for the South,
the advice is to refrain from pressing
claims to seats in Congress. Such a
course, it is considered, will challenge the
masnanimity of Northern representatives,,
iflt does not excite IA sense of the great
responsibility resting upon them in pro-
posing to let the South go unrcpresented
and her people disfranchised believe
tA%t NJ; EePherson will not put on the
roll of the House the names of any men,
bers from Tennessee.

LETTER FROM BEVERLY TUCKER TO SEcRE-
TARY SEwARD.-The Toronto Leader pub
fishes long letter from Beverly Tucker to
Secretary Seward, dated August Goth,
demonstrating against the continuance Of
the reward for his apprehension on account
Of alleged completely in the assassination
OF President Lincoln. He states that he
had no knowledge of the plot, and never
heard Booths name until after the deed
has been committed. He insists that the
lengthy conspiracy trial at Washington
failed to elicit a particle of evidence against
to Secretary Seward's sense Of justice to
withdraw the stigma cast upon his
(Tuker's) name by the retention of his
name in the list of persons for whose ar
rest q reward is offered.

and the rest OF the Canadian refugees, the

TELEaRAPHING- LONG STRErcH.-The
Memphis Bulletin, Of Goth, says: Last
night for the first time in ten wears,
telegraphic communication was held be-
tween New York and New Orleans direct
The first message transmitted from New
York to New Orleans was: Weather clear
and pleasant-S.55; when the answer re-
turned was: Weather clear and cool
time, 7.50.' Another despatch from New
York was followed by thirty-one messages
from New Orleans to New York, occupying
about forty minutes. Each message
averaged twenty words. This length OF
line has been worked only once before, and
that was between San Francisco and New
York, few months, the only success at
tending which was the transmission Of
few words. This leaves the credit to the
stretch Of line between New Orleans and
New York, of being the largest over which
any business has ever been done in this
country"

SUITS AGAINST CONFEDERATE OFFIcERs.-
During the war, Robert Stoner, Of Bath
County, =, Major in the service Of the $50
called " Confederate States, entered Flem-
ingsburg and seized a large number of
horses belonging to private citizens and in
no way connected with the army Of the
United States. A civil suit was entered in
the Fleming County Court, against Stoner
by the owner Of these horses for damages
equal to the value, and Stoner, in answer,
plead that he was acting under the orders
OF his superiors requiring him to press
horses for the Confederate service, and
claimed that his act in obeving his orders
was in accordance with the law and usaces
OF war, giving to the belligerents the right
military service, whenever an c1igency
may require it. We understand his Honor
Judge Andrews sustained the plea Of
Stoner, affirming that the Confederate
armies were entitled to belligerent rights.
that to take the property Of the citizens OF
the opposing party, when the necessity OF
the case demands it, is one OF those rights,

in the calm light of history, General
Sherman will stand out, in purely mill
tary view, as q genius Of the very first
order-that his operations upon the field
will have tendency to modify The tao
tics of European nations, and that mill
tary criticism will award him lofty posi-
tion among the great commanders Of the
world. 1t becomes us, We think, to be
more careful of the reputation of men,
who have shown heroic dcgotioa TO the
cause of The Union and of Freedom, and
not suffer n single mistake to cloud en-
tirely chr appreciation of the incstimab!e

I,i.-Gen. wm. II. Sherman. !
Running the rounds of the Northern
press there is great deal of indiscreet
matter in relation to the recent action OF
General Sherman-stuff, that in cooler
moments, when every thing becomes
sifted and properly weighed, will have to
be taken back. We admit We are sorry
ahe eGeneral ever signedthe now renowned
:" Memorandum" We admit he should
have placed himself on tho basis of nego-
tiation indicated by the President and
studionsly followed by General Grant
respecting the surrender of Lee-that OF
taking into consideration military mat
tcrs alone, leaving those of civil eharac-
Ter to the Government. But, We do not
countenance the idea for one moment,
that General Sherman was influenced by
any other than the most patriotic of i'm
pulses, and an intense desire to bring the
country 10 q state Of reposc. Had he
other, aud particularly ambitious motives,
why should he have stipulated to send
the document to Washington for appro.
vals We ore afraid men do not take into
consideration the fact, that the mind Of
The country was irritated by the brutal as
sassination of our Chief Magistrate-in-
tensifed almost to the point ofindiscrim-
in,te revenge upon the instigators of re-
tellion-and that Sherman and his army
were not yet apprised Of the occurrence.
Neither do they think ofthe peculiarposi-
ton of commanding officer, and of the
necessity for his acting with promptitude
and decision in great emergencies. His
line of conduct may have been faulty, to
some extent, but for this, generous peo-
Pile should not ihpugn the motives Of so
devoted public servant.

quarters of the Department of the South,
under the command of Major-Gen. Q. A..
Gilmore. When our forces took osses-
sion Of the place it consisted Of one or
two unimportant buildings and the usual
spattcring OF negro huts. Although IA
vored with a magnificent harbor. the peo-
pie OF this section do not seem to have
regarded it in any other light than as a
good cotton district On this group of
islands the best cotton in the world was
raised, but it never occurred to the unin-
genuous planters that from this harbor it
might be shipped at once to all the mar
kets Of the world, without the necessity
of sending it first to New York, and from
thence to Europe. If the idea ever en-
tered their brain, there was no energy to
put it into execution.
Tie enterprising Yankees soon diScov-
cred in il the best harbor from New York
to Pensacola, and on this account, chief
ly, it became the headquarters of the De-
paItMent. The violent fluctuations Of the
tide rendered the building Of long pier
necessary. This obstacle, however,, was
soon overcome, and now we have pier
extending about a quarter of mile out
into the bay. Here the largest ships can
come up, and with great facility dis
charg, or receive their cargoes. This
