Gen. Grant and part Of his sssff left
here this evening By special car for Phil

three days.
The generals report will not be compile
ted ~ early as stated, and i NOT likely to
be delivered to the war department. antil
near the commencement Of the paxt Con.
gressional session, unless specially called
for BY some inquiry.
There will probably be some consider
able delay in the appointment Of provis.
lonsl governor for South Carolina. The
delegation here do not at ell represent the
Unionists Of the States. One who claims
to be the giver Of advice to President
johnson has declared in Charleston that
he wished the Yankees had but one throat
that he might cut it. Another declared
that he would barn his house rather than
. damned Yankee should pollute it with
presence, and 50 on the entire list. Il is
likely, therefore that South Carolina will
bc suffered to lie out in the cold for the
present.
DR.. A. g. Mackey. the newly appoint
ed Collector at Charleston, has returned
to the oity after his visit to West Point,
and is showing up this pseudo South Car.
olina delegation in vivid colors. He
charges that men comprising the delega.
ton nov here we're originally secession
lists. They admit it to be true, and At.
tempt no concealment. Col. Yates of the
delegation entered Fort Spmpter immedi-
stely after its evacuation BY Maj. Ander.
son, and remained in the rebel military
service until the surrender Of Joe John
tsou. Others of the delegation voted
and acted ss consistent secessionists
throughout. They ars here now aokuovl.

ed. They ask nothing bat pardod and

The State is without law; its citizens are
completely humbIed, fearful proper
ton OF them are literally destitute OF oil
means of support, aud starvation impends,
lawlessness and crime is alarmiugiy on the
increase, and the only hope for public or
or private virtue is admitted 70 lie in the
protection OF Federal law.
The names of Ex Congressman VIM.
W. Boyoe aad Mr.. McIllily are among
those submitted by the delegation - GER
tain to give entire satisfaction to the
State, although they disclaim oil desire to
influence the Presidents appointment. -
II can be said 10 Mr.. Brycss favor tha,
he disagreed With psjority Of South
Carolinisus and declared Tor peace year
ago. Mr.. McIllily was against secessioa
in the outset. and like Gov. Aiken held
aloof ,hroughout the war. There is evil
IDENTIFY very little sympathy bteween these
delegates and Mr.. Mackey. whose loyalty
is accepted BY the north without question.
The delegation is to have another hearing

James NJ. Smith of Selma, Ala, has
been appointed U. s. District Attorney
for that State.
Hon. Richard Bustead of New York,
