The canvass, has been quite thorough
Gov. Humphreys has stumped the State
against the proposed new Constitution, and
Senator AIcorn and Major JEFF Ybfsasa:
have spoken in nearly every county, urging
its adoption. These men were all engaged
in the Rebellion. Some of the Republican
candidates were Confederate officers, while
one at least of the Democratic nominees
fought in the Union Army. Mr.. Humphrey
was elected Governor under the Rcconstruc-
ton policy of 1865. Last year the vote was
nearly all in favor of the Convention for the
formation of a new State Constitution
The most of the whites refused to vote
The total vote was Sc, 309 The whole num-
Der registered was much larger-nearly
100000 This year there is prospect for a
fair vote.-M T. Tribune quo.
The gallant General Mcpherson, who fell
MORALLY wounded near Atlanta, Georgia,
was for time member of Grants military
family, and served through the memorable
Vicksburg campaign as commander of the
18th army corps, has left the following
record, written but a short time before his
untimely death, of his opinions of Grant and
Sherman: .o1i lid ts... 5ssr-s.ff g5nu =
Gen. u S. Grant regard as one of the
most remarkable men of our country.
Without aspiring to be genius, or pos
sessing those characteristics which impress
one forcibly at first sight, his sterling good
sense, calm judgment, and persistency of
purpose more than compensate for those
dashing, brilliant qualities which. are, apt to,
captivate at u first glance. To know and
appreciate General Grant fully, one ought to
be a member of his military family.
Though possessing remarkable reticence US
far as military operations are concerned, he
is frank and affalfe, converses well. and has
apeculiarly retentive memory. When not
oppressed with the cares of his position. he
is very fond of talking telling anecdotes,
&c. His purity of character is unimpeach
able, and his patriotism of the most exalted
kind. He is generous to fault, humane,
and true and steadfast friend to those
whom he deems worthy of his confidence, he
can always be relied upon in case of emer-
gency. General W. T. Sherman is what
might be called a brilliant man, possessing
broad and comprehensive intellect. A
rapid thinker and ready writer, fertile in
his resources and untiring in his exertions,
he possesses those characteristics which
forcihly impress you at first sight He has
mingled largely with the world, and has
tried various professions: has read and re
flected much, and, having a remarkably re-
tentive memory,is well informed on most
subjects which come within the scope of
hnman thought. He is of much more ex-
citable temperament than General Grant,
and more apt to be swayed by impulses,
though his judgment is not so cool and re-
liable. In other words, though a more
brilliant man, he does not possess that ster-
ling good common sense which prominently
distinguishes General Grant. He is, how
ever, most brave and generous man, thor
oughly in earnest, and ready to sacrifice
everything for the good of his country. He
is is a true friend, and thoroughly unselfish;
and there are no better men-or few, at least
than General Sherman. Teb
