Freedme
| New YORK, October 13.-The object Of the
| present visit to the South of Major General
| Howard, Commissioner of the Freedmen's
Bureau, is, as explained by a recently issued
| War Department order, to endeavor to effect
an arrangement between the former owners
of certain lands on the coasts of Georgia,
South Carolina and Florida, and the freed
men who were located on them by General
sherman at the time of his operations in
that region. 1t appears that the negroes
have got the impression, that they are to
have the lands in question. 80 :,
General Howard was in Raleigh last
night, and addressed the members of the
State Convention and large assembly of
citizens. '-.''
letter of Gen. Grant Made Public.
A letter written by General Grant in the
spring of 1851 when he was about to be
made Lieut.. General, to General Sherman,
and the reply thereto of the latter, have
been made public.
With characteristic modesty General
Grant said that for his success he was
deeply indebted to many officers, but more
especially to Generals Sherman and McPher-
son, for whom he also expressed the warmest
friendship ...
General Sherman said "You do yourself
injustice, and US too much honor" and pro-
ceeded in a most cordial and unaffected
manner to declare his unbounded admira-
tion for the character and ability of General
Grant, and the happiness afforded by his
friendship. "My only point of doubt" said
Sherman, twas in your knowledge of grand
strategy, andof books of science and history,
but confess your common sense to have
supplied all these"

The Washington correspondent of the
Evening Post speaking of the Presidents
'peech says; The feeling here is that the

,eople, but this may be partly in conse-
luence of Mr. Johnson's repeated private
assurance Of his desire to do everything for
he freedmen which is really for their good,
md he has repeatedly assured in private
hat if he was at home he would vote to give
