Sherman'S Interview with Grant.

The HeratdS army of the Potomac spec
ial says:
Sherman, on Monday evening, reported
in person to Grant, at City Point The inter
view was cordial and friendly in the extreme.
A number of Grants staff and corps COM
manders Were present at the reception of
Sherman.
''Gen. Sherman, in reply to congratula-
tons presented to him, represented that his
success was assured from the commence
ment, and the enemy were unable to make
any serious opposition. He said his boys
had no trouble at all in chasing rebels
Gen. Grant and Sherman, after brief con-
sultation in the headquarters tent, had an
interview with the President. Sherman
gave Mr. Lincoln graphic account of his
operations and represented his army as a
capable of accomplishing the grandest re-
suits. A council of war was held during
the evening, at which the President and
Generals Grant, Sherman, Meade, Ord and
Sheridan were present. The session was
prolonged one, and no doubt related to the
spring campaign, now inaugurated. On
Tuesday morning Sherman took leave of his
old companions in arms and returned to
Goldsboro in special dispatch boat"

that the Caucus called for Friday evening
Is adjourned until Monday evening next.

Senator win be held on Tuesday "a -
It's just o. difficult now as on the first
day of the session, to predict with oonfd-
ence who will receive the nomination. We
understand that M. Wnknsos's friends
claim twenty one members as pledged to
support him. But if this claim is well
founded, he will still lack four votes Of .
majority in the caucus, and may be de-
fested If his opponents can concentrate all
their strength on q single candidate. On
this contingency the whole question now
hangs. It is understood that neither Mr..
Sw1HT, or Mr.. NoRron, or Mr.. WMDok,
have yet ehown any disposition to with
draw from the contest, and the postpone
ment of the caucus was probably for the
purpose Of allowing further time for the

Rumors are current that our State
quota will be large-much larger than
was expected-and it Is quite time that
efforts should be made to ell it, as far as
practicable, with volunteers. If our City
Council intends to encourage volunteering
in any manner, now is the time to do it.
A short time ago, when men could have
been obtained in sufficient numbers to
ell our quota for very moderate
sum, we urged the subject on the
Council, but in vain. Now the draft,
freighted with desolation to hundred
homes, is impending over us. we again ap-
peal to the Aldermen to. devise some eff
fective measures to promote volunteering
We are aware of the financial difficulties
under which the city labors, but we have
reason to believe the draft can be stayed
if earnest efforts are made to raise
recruits before the day appointed for the
memorable wheel to commence its revolu-
tons. In connection with the city au-
thorities the people at large should inaugu-
rate at once some system by which the
work can be carried on. We cannot be-
ieve that citizens who are now so earnest
ly engaged in Sanitary efforts, are prepar-
ed to see men with large families dragged
away from them, when others can readily
be found, for reasonable bounties, to vol
unfairly take their places The members
of the Council must take the lead in this
matter, and all classes will zealously CO.
operate with them. ,..-...f

which they could accept with self-respect,
