entire State, and the delegates elected to
State convention are mostly of a strong |
Union character and strongly endure the |
policy indicated by Governor Marvin
Judge Burritt was elected delegate from |
the Jacksonville district
Ex-senator YOuIee.
Strong efforts are being made to induce |
the President to release ex-senator David |
l.. YOulee, of Florida, from Fort Pulaski. |
Mr.. Youlee is President of the Jackson
vile and Tallahassee Railroad, and is a |
man of wide influence in the political and |
material interests of the State. His re-
lease is generally desired by the people of |
that State in order that he may exert him
self for the restoration of the business
prosperity of the State. A delegation is
hore from Florida urging the suspension
General Howard's order as to the occupa-
tinl of the sea islands. They want the |
freedmen kept there temporarily till all |
arrangements can be made for their trans
mission to the State, where their labor is
much needed by the planters.
Colonel J. w. Fairfield.
The Herald's Washington special says
| Col. j. w. Fairfield, of Louden County, |
ex-chief of Gen. Longstreets staff who
| L
dent short time ago, forwarded the ne
eessary documents to secure the restitution
of his property in tho above County, now
held by the Freedmen's Bureau, and which
is known as the Monroe estate.
Execution of Ferguson.
Since the execution of Ferguson at
Nashville, certain parties here, who are
familiar with Col. Mosebys war history,
are interesting themselves to bring the
latter to what they call justice. They al
lege that Moseby, although a rose colored
gentlemanly sort of person, was guilty
of guerrilla atrocities which would have
made Champ Ferguson blush. They claim
to have the names of ex-rebel officers
among the list of witnesses wherewith to
prove inhuman crimes upon the Virginia
partisan.
General Grant is understood to favor
the mastering out of all the troops except
the regular army. If this should prove
Inadequate to the exigencies of the future
Congress can nincrease it from time to time.
The controlling reason of the Secretary
of War and General Grant probably is
that the privates of the Veteran Reserve
Coprs universally desire to be mustered
out. The officers as unanimously oppose
it. As the latter's disinterednees is not
aOve suspicion their recommendation has
less weight
The death sentence of the Indian chiefs
Medicine and Little Six, implicated in the
Union masacres of three years ago, has :
been suspended by the President in defer
ence to the remonstrance of Bishop Grace
of that State to the execution of the SEN /
tence. The original records and testimo-
ny taken in the premises are;therefore re- 6
