Foney's Washington Chronicle of
the 18th says; "An officer OF high rank,
who has just returned from q trip to
the south learned while in Charleston
that the Goth South Carolina rebel regi.
ment had been re%organized, and that
they boasted of having rendered their
services to President johnson to aid
him in any attempt which he might
make to dis,erse congress. 1t is owl.
dent that there RE a few citizens Of the
palmetto state anxious for annihiIation.
Being soundly whipped does no. satisfy
them"
Such faIsehoods as the above are
kept floating tirouh the northern press
to infame and excite me hatred of the
people there against the south. 1t is
scarcely necessary 10 explain that thcle
is not a word oftruth IN the paragraph.
AN officer of high rank" deserves to
be stripped of his stars or shoulder
straps for i%nventing so %atrccious q
~falsehood. Our people in the south
patiently await the day and the hour
when they may know the worst and
meet it like men. -Memphis appeal.

MEXICO.
General Sherman Going at Once to Mcxi-
coils Mission both Diplomatic and
Military-Gcn. Shcridan's Order.

General Sherman Going at Once to Next
coils Mission both Diplomatic and
Military-Gcn. Shcridan's Order.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.--Gcn. Sher.
man had another interview with the
President to-day, after the session oil
the Cabinet, at which he accepted the
military diplomatic mission to Mexico,
vi ich it vas stated yesterday had been
rendered to him. He will therefore
leave for Ohio tomorrow, aud aft,rar
ranging some private affairs, he will
leave Tor Mexico, probably within ten
days, accompanied by Col. Campbell,
Minister to that Republic.
The Administration is gratined at
the prompt action OF Gen. Sherman,
and the hope is confidently entertained
that the presence of al officer of such
rank and distinction will be n sufficient
indication Of the earncstness of this
Government in the measures it Is ia
king to aid the restoration Of the Re.
public, and that it will render the &C
tual presence of United States troops
unRece sssay.
Gen. Sherman's mission is both mil
itaIy and diplomatic. He goes to sus.
tain Minister Campbell in all the diplo-
matte relations which may be rt-estab-
iished and improved, andis also author
lied to bring into use, at his discretion,
the military power in any emergency
which may render this power necessa-
ry. The very important nature of this
work is thus apparent, and the Prcsi.
dent is anxious that it not only should
he in safe and able hands, but that our
representatives should reach the scene
Of action az soon a possible.
The name of Gen. Grant was at first
suggested rs the proper person for this
position of military envoy, but as he
cannot well he spared from the arduous
work consequent upon the reorganiza.
ton Ofthe army, Gen. Sherman was Sc
lected, he having declined the tender
Of the War Department which was
made to him by President johnson.
When the change does occur in the
latter Department, it is altogether prob
able that Gen. Grant will be called to
assume its duties.
The Administration does not entire
ly approve the vigorous language of
Gen. Shcridan's late order, so far as it
applies to Macmillan and his French
relations Thus far all our intercourse
with France on this subject has been of
the most amicablc nature, and there is
neither intention nor desire to inter.
cept them. At the present time every.
thing desirable promises to be accom-
plished without any bad feeling what.
ever, unless it be on the part Of those
bandits whom Gen. Sheridan very
properly styles buccaneers.
