The South In 1860.

lN the latter part Of 1865 General
GRANT, in hi. Official capacity, made
Il tour OF inspection through the
South to ascertain the condition of
affairs, and, as he stated, "to learn, 0s
far as possible, the feeling, and in-
tentiops Of the citizens of thO92 States
toward the General Government -
In the 18th Of December ha submit
ted his report to the President, in
which he said;
| am satisfied that the mas of
the South accepted the present situa-
ton Of affairs in good faith, The
questions which have herot ofore di-
vided the sentiments Of the people Of
the two sections -slavcry an d States,

not only accepted the deCi sion ar

smoke OF battle has cleared aw ay, snd

that this decision,has been r fortunate

those who opposed them in the field

of the country visited BY me that the
mere presence OF military force,
without regard to numbers, ia sut!i-
cient TO nsintain order.
The late slave seems TO he imbued
with the idea that the property oi his
late master should by right belong to
him. or at least should hayo no pro-
lection from the coIored soldier.
There il danger of collisions being
brought on by such causes.
Ny observations lead me ia the
conclusion ;hst the cititns OF the
Southern States are an&iots to return
