FROM WASHINGTnN.

Gen. sherman Going at once TO a1exi.
COILS Mission both Diplomatic aud
MiIitary-Gen. Sheridan's Order.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The Times Wash
ington special says Gen. Sherman had an
other interview with the President to-day,
after the session Of the Cabinet, at which he
accepted the military-diplomatic mission to
Mexico, which 1t was stated yesterday had
been rendered to him. He will therefore
leave for Ohio tomorrow, and after arrang-
ing some private affairs he will leave for
Mexico, probably within ten days, accom-
panied by Col. Campbell, Minister to that
Republic.
The Administration Is gratifed at the
prompt action of Gen. Sherman, and the
hope is confidently entertained that the
presence of an officer of such rank and dis
tinction will be a sufficient indication of the
| earnestness of this Government in the meas
ures it is taking to aid the restoration of the
Republic, and that it will render the actual
presence of United States troops on Mexican
| soil unnecessary.
Gen. Sherman's mission is both military
and diplomatic. He goes to sustain Minis
ter Campbell in all the diplomatic relations
which may be re-established and improved,
and is also authorized to bring into use, at
his discretion, the military power in any
emergency which may render this power
necessary. The very important nature of
this work is thus apparent and the Presi-
dent is anxious that it not only should be
in safe and able hands, but that our repre-
sentatiyes should reach the scene of action
as soon as possible.
The name of Gen. Grant was at first sug-
gested as the proper person for this position
of military envoy, but as he cannot we'll be
spared from the arduous work consequent
upon the reorganization of the army, Gen.
Sherman was selected, he having declined
the tender of the War Department which
was made to him by HSrident johnson,
When the change does occur in the latter
department, it is altogether probable that
Gen. Grant will be called to assume its du-
ties
The Times Washington special says the
Administration does not entirely approve
the vigorous language of Gen. Sheridan's
late order, so far as it applies to Maximili-
an sHd his French relations, Thus far all
our intercourse with France on this subject
has been of the most amicable nature, and
there is neither intention nor desire to inter
cept them. At the present time everything
desirable promises to be accomplished with
out any bad feeling whatever, unless 1t be
on the part of those bandits whom Gen
Sheridan very properly styles buccaneers.
The reports of Gen. Sheridan's being re-
lieved were coined and set afoat at New
Orleans by the minions of the Government,
for the purpose of iniuring the status of that
officer

TOUCHING INCIDENT-DEATH OF
HENRY, 4 FAITHFUL SERVANT OF
THE PRESIDENT.

The Washington Union, Of last Saturday
afternoon, has the following, which aptly
illustrates the kindly tenderness of the Presi-
dent and his family towards the honest and
faithful, however humble their condition in
life
Quite an affecting episode occurred at the
Executive Masion to-day which may be
properly noticed here. At eleven o'clock, a
funeral procession moved off from the
White House, with Colonel ROBT. JoHS-
son, Private Secretary of the President, and
Mrs. Col. SLOWER, the Presidents daughter,
accompanying the wife Of the deceased, as
chief INQUIRER, in the Presidents private
carriage. HENRY Brown, the deceased, TO
whom allusion is made, was an esteemed
servant Of the Presidents, who died after a
brief illness on Thursday afternoon. He
was an intelligent and valued colored man,
who lived in the Presidents family in Ten
nessee, served in the first Tennessee Union
cavalry regiment commanded by Col ROBT.
JOHNSON, and came with the Presidents
family to Washington, where he has lived
ever since, occupying the responsible posi-
ton as assistant steward Of the Presidents
household. The funeral cortege was COM
posed Of large number Of carriages filled,
except by the members Of the Presidents
family, with persons Of color.
The deceased was buried at Harmony
Cemetery. The coffin, which was beautiful,
was supplied by HARVEY &Co, undertakes,
and was Of polished mahogany. II was dec
GRATED with silver mounting, and on the lid
was large wreath ofexquisite and fragrant
flowers from the conservatory attached tothe
Presidential mansion.
Thus has passed away faithful servant
Of the President, a oolored man, but who, as
a last tribute Of respect and affection, re-
eeived the marked and tender recognition
from the President and his estimable family
which we have here recorded.

THE CONSERVATIVE RALLY AT THE
MARKETHOrSE


., The meeting announced in the papers
Yesterday morning as an election rally, was
large and enthusiastic meeting. 1t was
composed of the most substantial citizens,
and manifestation of zeal and interest was
exhibited most gratifying to the Conserva-
tives, and auguring auspiciously for full
vote to-day.
Mr.. LELLYETT delivered a clear, sensible,
and forcible speech, three-quarters of an
hour in length, in which he discussed the
questions likely 10 come before the APP
preaching Legislature. He drew the line OF
demarcation between the true, original, con-
sistent Unionist and the Radicals of the
present day, broad and deep. He announced
himself opposed to the franchise law, and
unalterably opposed to the constitutional
amendment His remarks were loudly ap-
plauded.
When he had concluded, Ex-Governor
Brown was called for, and delivered one o.
his ringing hortatory efforts which reused
the enthusiasm Of the audience. He planted
some direct and telling blows at the leader.
of the Radical party Of this State, who set
ting at defiance the policy of the Govern
ment towards returned Confederates, as
sumo to ride rough-shod over the Constitu.
ton and the laws, and TO crush out the lib
critics Of three-fourths of the citizens of Ten
nessee. Gov. Brown is always effective
and is always listened to with profound at
tention. His remarks of last night will b,
felt in the result Of to-day's election.
The meeting last night was full of inter
est and spirit and in strong contrast to thu
dull, cold, mechanical affair of the Radical
sect at the Capitol on the evening previous

JUDGE BRIEy, our present Representative
is a very able and very great man, but to
make the voice of his people felt and re-
spected he wants another able and industri-
Gus man to stand by him and pull with him
10 the contest with legislative Radicalism.
That man is JOHN LELLYETT If Captain
WILSON should be elected, he would pull
against Judge BRIEN, and his votes would
nullify those of Judge B. and the people o.
the country have no positive voice in the
legislation of the State. Every one who
desires to avoid such state of things should
vote for Mr.. LELLYETT.

THE Knoxville Commercial has suspended
its daily issues, and will hereafter appear as
weekly. We regret that any condition of
affairs should necessitate this course on the
part of its proprietor; for, in addition to
the fact that Knoxville ought to have and
support a daily, the Commercial was so I'M
ainchingly Conservative, that we dislike to
be deprived of its daily visits. As weekly,
however, it will stand steadfastly to its guns,
and WELD powerful influence.

SHAKESPEARE said some men were born

having it forced upon them. In which cate
CORY is Capt. WILSON, the Radical candi-
date? The question is one for the curious
only, and has no practical point for Con-

from county to county. and State to State for
political purposes. They are traueliRg uo'eTs
