NEW YORK, November 26.-The Times con-
tains letter from the Andersonville stockade,
Georgia, of 3lst ult., showing some further fear
ful revelations Of it, horrors: evidence of the
inhumanities practiced there, and details of its
responsiveness.
The Herdlfs Washington specials contain
the following: Gen. Grant and part of his
staff will leave here on Monday, TO visit Rich
mond, Charleston and other internal cities.
They will be absent about ten days. Ii will
be remembered that General Grant has not
visited Richmond since its surrender.
Among those awaiting intercourse at the
White House, ON Saturday, Were Albert Pike
and Mr.. Cummings, Ex-Governor of Utah.
The latter joined the South in the rebellion,
but is reported to have just had his claim al
lowed for about $500 back pay due him at the
commencement Of hOstilities. Mr.. Pike is an
applicant for pardon and restoration Of his
law library. valued at $4,000. now in Federal

men who were educated at their cOnntry's eN-
penSc, and who plungtd into the rebellion at
the first bugle call. The pardon was granted
ON the recommendation Of the Attorney Gene

The young man has an invention which i

and which he could not get patented without
pardon Hitherto the President has steadily
refused 10 pardon men Of this class but old
army officers vouch that he i not mistaken in
this case of clemcncY.
- The Government detective force, 80 far from
being disbanded. n was doubtless the inten-
tion of the President at one time, has a new
important and legitimate wolk laid out for il.
in the chief cities of the Union and along the
borders, TO attack and apprchend counter
feiters of grecnbacks ,smugglers and defrauders
