GEN. SCHUIz's REPoRT.-The report of Gen.
Carl Schurz on the condition of affairs in the
South has been published. Speaking of the
peculiar state of mind of the South, into which
the surrender OF Lee had plunged il, he saws
The public mind was so respondent that If
readmission at some future time, under what
ever condition, had been promised, it would
then have been looked upon as favor The
most uncompromising rebels prepared for
leaving the country. The masses remained in
a state of fearful expectancy" The first recon.
struction proclamation broke the spell substi
tuted hope for apprehension, and prepared the
South for the resumption of much of the old
spirit As this spirit was developed, one proc
lamation after another by the President was
made necessary, and week after week fresh
conditions were demanded, to which the peo-
pie have submitted, but unwillingly. Gen.
Schurz finds four classes of persons in the
South, none of whom are entirely loyal, though
one class is honestly endeayoring to accommo-
date itself to the new order Of things. All of
these classes, he says, are agreed that further
resistance TO the power of the National Gov
eminent is useless, and submission TO ITS au-
thorlty matter OF necessity. All movements
In favor OF separation from the Union have
therefore, been practically abandoned, and re-
sistance to our military forces, on that score,
has ceased. The General thinks that this kind
OF loyalty, produced by the irresistible pres
sure OF forces" F" is of a negative character.
