"One blast upon his bugle horn
We're worth ten thousand men,"

At the close of the war, called to aid in car
rving out the great work of reconstruction,
he has convinced the world that his abilities
as statesman are not second to his abilities
as warrior. In Louisiana he brought order
out of chaos. Although he was fighting the
combined influence of resident rebels and the
modern " Moses if left alone, he would
have restored tranquility to Texas. and in
the prosperity of the district under his con
troI reared an enduring monument Of great
ness. He is a man not of words but of acts.
as has been truly said of him. he " does
things" Fully understanding the condition
of affairs in the South aud the temper of TIE
people lately in rebellion, well as the
necessities incident to practical reconstruc-
ton. and being fully conversant with the
feelings of the Northern States and the great
end to be attained by reconstruction, evincng 9
at once sagacity and firmness not only as a
warrior but a statesman unparalleled IN
modern times, we deem him the fttest man
to be entrusted with the contamination ot
the great work he began in freedoms name.

SHERIDAN AND BIDwELL.-The Marysville
Telegraph hoists the name of General P. II.
Sheridan for President, and General John
Bidwell for Vice President. Speaking of
Sheridan, the Telegraph says:
We think that the signs of the times clearly
point to General Sheridan as best fitted to
assume the Executive department of the
government. In every place which he has
been called uron to occupy, he has more
than filled it. As General fighting the
battles of the country he never knew defeat,
although his hosts might be for the moment
demoralized and his line shaken, his own
bravery and daring gave strength to his
followers, and ever turned the tide of battle
in his favor. Of him in battle may it be
truly said

ings with tho Confederate States and, a
the close of the war, were in advance to tie Con
federate States about s170,o 900 and cana into pos
session of several steam vessels, the property O
the Confederate States, which did not suffice tc
cover the balance due to them. That ut no time
IN 1861 was the said firm OF JOIN FRASER & Co..
appointed the agent of the Confederate States and
that at no time during the late war did the said firm
export cotton for import arms and goods for the
said Confederate States. That at tho close of the
war no property Of the Confederate States was in
the possession of the said firm of j. F. s. Co., ol
afterwards came into the possession of the said
firm, or is still in it's possession.
That while the defendant does not admit that
the United States is enttlc1 by operation of law,
to all the property Of the Confederate Statos he
denies that the firm of. +. & Co., has any such
property, for which it is accountable, or which it
holds in trust for the United States or which it is
bound to pay over and deliver to the United
States.
The defendant denies that any monies belong
ing to the Confederate States have ever been in
vested by the said firm in real estate; that the
said firm has ha' no communication with the
Confederate States in reg ard to any property OF
tho Confederate Stato,, supposed to be in its pos
session.
That GEO. A. TRENHOLM, VIM. l.. TRENHOLM,
JAMES T. WELsMAN, and this defendant, have been
pardoned by the President OF the United States.
This defendant also pleads in bar of the claim
set up by the United States, On agreement made
fetween FRASER, TRENHOLM & Co., and the United
States Consul in London, whereby the claim of
that firm was fixed at f15O0O0; and tho firm
agreed to pay over any surplus left in their hands
to the United States Government, after satisfying
their claim.
With the proceeding; is filed Ii tor of the
Secretary Of the Treasury of the United States, au-
thorizing tho said Consul to settle and compro-
mise tho claim OF tho United States in tho matter.
The answers Of the remaining defendants are
substantially tho samo as that filed by the de-
fen ant, THEODORE D. WAGNER.
The answer of GEORGE A. TRENHOLM states that
at the time of the appointment Of The defendant rs
Secretary Of tho Treasury Of the Confederate
States, FRASER, TRENHOLM & Co. were agents of
tho Confederate States, and continued to be so;
that shipments of cotton were made to them on
account Of the different bureaus Of the Confederate
States, of whose transactions the defendant know
nothing. The proceeds Of shipments mado on ac-
count of the Treasury, were paid upon drafts or
orders of the said department at the requistion of
tho other departments, and wero applied to tho
purchase Of arms, etc., by agents of the different
bureaus residing abroad; that these daafts were
ofton paid in advance.
We are informed that it is the purpose of tho de-
fcndants to obtain dissolution of the injunction
obtained in this case ut tho present term of tho
Circuit Court held in Grcenville.
