NEW YoRK, Dec. 10.
The Posts Washington special says tho
Presidents message, inclosing the Report Of
Gen. Grant, strongly favors an early restora-
ton of all State governments. 1t appears to
have deeply offended some of the members.
When II was read in the Senate, Mr.. Sum-
ner rose and pronounced it only psralleled by
Pierce's washing message on Kansas.
The Commercials Washington dispatch
says the President has sent Gen. Grants Re-
port on the condition of the South to Con-
gress 1t presents the resalt of the Generals
observations during his tour TO the South, and
is a highly favorable expression of the great
confidence in the good faith Of the Southern
people, and their readiness to accept the is
sues of war. The tenor Of the Report is IA
vorable to the restoration to the Southern
people of their full privileges of citizenship.
The communication has produced marked
effect here, as great confidence is rsposed in
Grants judgment.

Appropriations have made reduction Of sev.

Christian Unity.

Among tho prominent movements
in Religious things now, is vigorous
effort to promote truo unity among
Christians. There is in New York
City a Christian Unity Society"
composed of prominent clergymen and
mombers of the Episcopal Church; ;
and a Christian Unity Society" find
ing its members among other denom-
nations. The two lately camo to-
gether. The former being invited
by the latter to send delegate
to o meeting for discussion, COM
plicd by sending the RI. Rev.
Bishop Coke. The meeting was held
in one of the Methodist Churches,
and was marked by one of the fullest
and most kindly interohanges of opin-
ion ever known. Tho prominent
speakers were Rev. DIR. Vermilye
Dutch Reformed), Rev. DR.. Weston
(Baptist), and DIR. Coke Episcopal).
The Dutch Reformed speaker said:
Remain distinct as we arc, only love
each other better" The Baptist said,
=" hold stoutly to every point of
doctrine cling closely, hold tightly,
speak bold, but love warmly" The
Episcopalian urged to insist only on
points absolutely essential, as stated
in the incene creed, and then to sock
organic unity; to combine the guer-
rilla-like squads of Protestant dcnom-
nations into ono organic army. No
man, of course, looks for immediate
unanimity from such confronces; yet
it must do good to have men who
differ thus meet and in kindness COM

FROM TIE SOUTH.
NEW York, March 2

NEw York, March 27.
The Richmond Eraminer of the 9th,
has letter from Fayetteville, which
says Fayetteville is ruined. All the
arsenal buildings and market, court
house, printing offices, both foundrios,
all mills, cotton factories, and oil
works were destroyed. They robbed
the people of everything in the way
of food. Tho destruction in Cheraw
is said TO have been very extensive.
Tho Raleigh Adrocate says, Judging
from what we hear of operations in
East and Middle North Carolina, we
consider the signs more encouraging,
if not decidedly cheering. Sherman
will be prevented from crossing the
North Carolina Railroad. Sherman
and the Yankee nation will soon learn
that marching through country is
not conquering it.
Tho Raleigh Progress says much
unjust abuse has been heaped upon
tho cavalry under General Wheeler.
Much of the marauding and plumber
ing charged TO them has been perpe-
trated by others. Several of them
have been quartered with the editor
of this paper for nearly week past
We with truth say we have never seen
a moro orderly or well behaved set of
men.
The Richmond EcamiaG' says on
the lines before Richmond and Peters
burg there is unbroken quiet. Our
troops have within the last few days
been addressed 10y varions speakers,
though politicians have more need to
DO encouraged by the army than the
army by politicians.
There is an impression that Grant
is sending, or preparing to send, q
portion of his troops TO North Caro-
lima, to help Sherman out Of his
trouble. The lattor gentleman is de-
cidodly brought to stand. Those
wonderful mfrches Of his, in which
tho Yankees so much exult, seem to
be over for the present. Instead of
burning towns and Iobbing people,
he finds an army now in front.
The Eramiacr abuses Foote for his
public address to Southerners abroad,
and hopes he will remain sequcstered
for the rest of his existence.
The Dispatch of the oath says -
Mails for the South which should have
been forwarded this morning, were
not prepared for transmission in con-
sequence of the clerks being ordered
out to perform military duty.
The Dispatch appeals to deserters to
return to their commands, and says
tho war will soon be ended if the
soldiers will mako an earnest and
combined effort.
The Sentinel calls for n generous
support of tho policy of putting ne
groes into the army, and requests those
who are not favorable to the move
ment to withhold all adverse criticism.
