t'Odr next visit was to Atlanta, Georgia.
Here we had a long consultation with Irea-
sury Agent, who had had ample means of in
formation on the subject Of Georgia loyalty.
He gave his opinion that to admit the south
eru States to representation at this time would
be highly iajudicious. He did not believe
there was a white native in the State loyal
enough to take his place, and asserted that to
remove him and others similarly situated,
would be not only dangerous to the welfare of
the country, but would be also the height Of
inrratitude to men who had Fisked character
and reputation for the patriotic cause OF cot
ton and ten or twelve thousand year. Your
committee concurred entirely in his opinion:
"While in Atlanta your committee heard
many expressions of sentiments which go to
show how far Gen. Grant is mistaken in what
he saws in his report: On one occasion es-
pecially we heard what convinced us that the
lava Of secession still burned in the southern
bosom. The case was that of a young gentle
man from Massachusetts,, Of poor but honest
parents, who had come TO the South IN the
capacity of a ireedman's. school-teacher. he
had casually made the acquaintance ofa south.
ern lady of two score and ten, whose husband
had fallen under the southern flag, leaving her
a widow of handsome estate. The young gen
'tleman, desirous Of matrimouy, and pianta-
tons pressed his suit, and was progressing,
as he thought, most favor ably, when one eve
ming the widow told him at a tea- party, in the
presence Of a large number Of people, that
She'd rather be: buried alive than marry a
Yankee." The patriot school-te2cher no lon
ger plied the rod of chastisemeht over refrac-
tory freedmen. The star Of his hope has
gone down, and he has gone back to Boston,
awreck of his former self. -. -.
tfYour committee went to Montgomery, Ala
bama, where, as at Richmond, the cofored cltl-
zens aocked to meet US, and Hied with each
other for, the carrying of our baggage Ne
paid them fifty cents carpet sack from the
depot, and they were enthusiastic in their de-
rrlonstratiens Of loyalty, in receiving the cur
rreency from US. IN this city evidences of dis
LOYALTY meet US on every hand. A Vermont
missionary had been insulted few days be-
fore our arrival for attempting to introduce
John Browns Body and Wen hang JEFF
Davis on. a Sour Apple Free,' as Sabbath
school HYMNS. a, hop had just taken place
at the leading hotel, to which whites only were
invited, and from which the freedmen EAere
excluded on account Of color. The conse.
.auence was an Indignation meeting of the
freedmen at which equal rights were deman-
2ded. A repetition of balls and hopes; exalu-
siveiy white in their character, will lead to
Jamaica instructions and Haytien- rebelliens
.magnifed a thousand times in their dreadful
results At Montgomery, as at Atlanta we
met a Treasury Agent, who was opposed to
immediate re, union, and warmly in favor of a
territorial condition for the Southern States.
He mentioned incidentally that he had a SON
cin-laW in New Hampshire who would make
an excellent Provisional Governor, and a cou-
SIN who would do for a territorial delegate to
Congress Above all things, he hoped Com
gressc would not listen to the hgpoeritical
cries of Alabama loyalty. Measured Us that
tbere was no Loyalty in the State, except in
-hisaofice, and, said it would be base injustice
to. .superSede .him2tiA he had finished the ma

a northern gentleman whom We know to be
in every way reliable: He had responded to

tieas, and had been unvarying inhis devotion
to the cause ever since, except at Intervals
when GeB, Grant had ordered suffers, to the
rear. Since the cessation of armed hostility
he had been down South to see what could
be done 5inffle WY of buying southern lands
He shad=found the people of South Carolina so
rebeileus at the heart as to refuse to sell their
plantations for twenty cents an, acre IN FED
eraf currency He convinced us that an armed
force soughtt to be Kept in Charleston for many
years to come, and that he ought to be aps
pointed sutler, as he had much experlenceIn
the business. He found in this, hot-6ed OF
secession and cradle of rebellion a decided
preference for gray over blue, which extend
ed itself even to the, ladies pettieo&tG, IS, many
of which your comrnitree carefully examined
It is properto stat ethat the articles thus scru-
tinized were hanging on line to dry and had
no ladies in them. p - .-z>S--&.
- 'rrYour Committee next visited Savannah,
where they found disloyalty manifesting 1t
selfunmistakably on all sides: We met an
agent of the Freedmen's Bureau, who gave 1t
as his opinion that the war was .oniy half over,
and that nnless. the powers of the Bureau
were enlarged so as to give him controll of
all the cotton exported from Savannah, the
glorious emblem of our national liberty would
not float unmolested very long. He had not
been invited to single tea party, though he
had lived in Savannah for a year, while rc-
turned Confederates were cordially greeted
by brothers, sisters, mothers and sweethearts.
He himself had been on. intimate terms with
a young ladyFWtsee represented many thous--
and bales Of cotton, but of late a one-armed
rebel had come home, and he of the F. B. had
been discarded in favor of him who had raised
his parricidal hand against the old flag. Here
was preferment for services rendered to the
rebel cause, and there are many such cases
which your committee regret to find Gen.
Grant has omitted entirely. 49,. .... = =.
