From the Baltimore Sun.
FROM WASHINGTON.

The President and General GrRnt--CnuSes
of DiSaSreement-AuthOr of the E1-
ecative Against that of the General
Claims of Both Under the Accommodation
Acts-Freedmen's Bureau and the CoIored
People.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28,-Dispatches sent
hence last night Indicating an irreconcila-
BILE difficulty between the President and
General Grant are calculated to mislead.-
The variance in the views of the Executive
and the General of the army relate only to
details of the orders relieving Gen. Sheri-
dan and the assignment of Gen. Hancock
to succeed him.
General Grant is understood to be OPP
posed to relieving General Hancock from
command of the department of Missouri,
and objects to directing General Sheridan
to go without delay to Leavenworth. Cen
eral Grant also raises legal question upon
that paragraph of the Presidents order
which directs General Hancock to exercise
any and all powers conferred by the acts
of Congress.
The authorization is construed as annul-
ling section five of Gen. Grants order Of
the 18th inst, and the General regards it
as encroaching upon his functions, as fixed
by the reconstruction acts, which give him
supervisory control over the acts of the
District Commanders.
The President holds that the law gives
the district commander original and absO-
lutte discretion, and that although the Gen
eral of the army may annul or disapproye
the acts of the district commander, he can
not in the first instance direct that officer
as to the course he shall pursue, as Gencr-
al Grant directed Gen. Thomas, in section
b lie
that General Hancock, as the successor Of
General Sheridan, has power to revoke any
order heretofore made by the latter, such
as the removal of State officers but Gen.
Grant may afterwards disapprove such &C
ton, and thus &nnul it. And further, that
the section of the army appropriation bill
fixing the headquarters of the army at
Washington, and preventing Gen. Grants
removal without the consent of the Senate,
does not vest the ger eral of the armies with
any power over the orders of the President
as commandments, but simply requires
that any such orders shall pass through
the general of the armies.
Though this variance of views exists be-
tween the President and General Grant,
there is no irritation felt or exhibited by
either of them, and General Grant does
not, as reported, refuse to issue the order
The interview between the colored orator
Langston and the President, yesterday,
was not sought by the latter, but by the
former. 1t was not for the purpose OF con,
sidering the removal of General Howard
from the Freedmen's Bureau, as reported
Langston gave an account of his visit TO
the South, stating that he was well received
by both white and black people ; that the
Freedmen's Bureau has ceased to be OF use
for any other than educational purposes
and asked the President if he would re-
ceive suggestions on the subject from HIM
self and other colored people. Mr.. John
son said any such suggestions would DO
gladly received and respectfully considered

Marrying In Einste-iGomant

Some two or three weeks since, gentle
man from a neighboring city went to a
watering place in the mountains and took
with him his daughter, a young lady of
about sixteen. They we're having very
nice time ; but one fine morning the young
lady was missing. Search was made for
her but she could not be found. A mes
senger was dispatched to the nearest rail
road station to make inquiry for her, and
was told that lady answering the de-
scription he gave had left there on the
last train that passed, in company with q
gentleman. The father bore it as we'll as
he could. and i'll day or two she re-
turned, Mrs. ---. She had not known
her husband more than ten days. She
married in haste may she escape the
latter clause of the proyerb.

New Cotton.

We have received from Mr.. D. j. Gilbert,
of Bayville, Robson county, five bolls of
new cotton, selected from the crop now
growing upon his plantation. The sam
Piles before us show that the bolls are ripe
and open, out owing to the rain the cotton
has not fully matured. We have in this
evidence of the injury worked by the rain.
The cotton is retarded in its progress to
maturity by the continued fall of water,
and the stalks of the plant are said to be
materially affected. But for the rain the
samples before us show that the crop would
have been ready for picking.

"A Sensation Report.
A letter from New York says:

A letter from New York says:
A startling piece Of intelligence is made
public through well-informed sources at
Washington, in regard to the Spanish revo-
luton. Gen. Prim's programme includes
the seizure of Cuba, with view of trans
ferring it to the United States, for con-
sideration, the same to be applied, by
agreement already made, to the English
holders OF Spanish bonds, a proceeding
which will effectually tie the hands of John
Bull. Prim's plans in Cuba are said to
meet with the most cordial approval of the
revolutionary party there, and, as we are
now in daily telegraphic communication
with the gem of the Antilles, we may
speedily look for news of vigorous fol
lowing up of the recent revolutionary
demonstration at Matanzas. Prims af-
fairs in this country, it is also said, are in
very competent hands, and are not to be
thwarted or spoiled by kitchen cabinet ar
engagements. If Prim succeeds, and Uncle
Sam refuses to buy the island, then, we are
told, the richest jewel in the Spanish
crown will be turned over to Great Britain
to satisfy the claims of her bondholders, at
the same time securing a powerful Eu-
rOpean ally.

that it mparts degree of vigor and activity to
