New ORLEANS, Sept. 5th, 1866.
d Friend Democrat: General Granger
of the United States Army has written
alctter to President Johnson, after a
tour through the Southern States, Civ
ling q report Of what he saw and heard,
and the opinions he formed in relation
to the state of feeling existing amonst
those lately in rebellion 1t is one
Iof the best documents that has been
written on the subject. He found the
people ready to conform to the require
ments Of the Presidents restoration pol
icy, conyerscd freely and unknown,
without nolestation, the political sit
uation Of the country, and believes that
if the people Of the North could only
know the real sentiments of those
South, union and harmony would be
easily created. He found that the
swarms of Treasury Agents, Bureau
and petty army officers, thathave over
run these States since the war, have
robbed and outraged the people to an
extent that would not have been borne
by any but those who had honorably
determined to accept and abide by the
situation. He found also, what we
all know is growing each day, feel
ing Of apathy amongst our people in
regard to the future politics Of the
country, and says that if it were not
Tor Q few in each State, who agitate
these questions for a living, the mass
Of the people, disguised by the cold
shoulder they have received from Con-
gress, would not care for representation
lat all which he thinks would be a
great injury to the country at large.

That he has made by it, and more, too,
than any other itinerant occupant Of
the White House, or aspirant thereto,
we have many reasons to believe. At
every place he has stopped he has been
received by such crowds as never be-
fore assembled to pay their respects to
any other individual, and. with an en-
thusiasm which must be gratifying ey-
licences Of the satisfaction Of the peo-
pie with the policy which guides him
in the administration of the govern
ment. Wherever he has spoken his
speeches have had the most salutary
effects, and the holiness with which he
has declared his principles, unpopular
as they are with such a large party at
the North, cannot fail to win over to
his support many who have hitherto
been ranked among qns his opponents. To
see the President of the United States
Imingling with the people, from whom
he sprung and to whom he owes his ad-
vancement to the highest offices in the
Republic, will have salutary effect on
the minds of many men whose opinions
are swayed by tile most trivial objects.
And there are, besides, other circum-
stances connected with this tour, which
cannot fail to add to the Presidents
strength. Among the distinguished
persons who accompany him are Gene
raj Grant and Admiral Farragut, the
fayorite Yankee General, and the IA
yorite Yankee Naval Commander. The

The Church at Linden, Michigan,
has been blessed with a revival that
resulted in the hopeful conversion of
rs or 30souls; about one half of these
will unite with the N. S. Church.
A series of meetings have just been
closed at Manchester, Michigan. Some
twenty or more have been hopefully
converted eight of these united with
the N. s. Church, on profession of
their faith.
Special services have been held at
Minneapolis, Minnesota, for twelve or
fifteen weeks, following the week of
prayer; the result is that twelve to
fifteen have expressed hope.
