Gen. Sherman on the Southern Situa-
ton,

The late address of Gen. Sherman to a re,
publican political club in New Orleans. in
which he alluded to some Of the leading cues.
tons of the day, has been spoken OF as re-
markabIe and significant. Referring to the
surrender Of Gen. Joe Johnston and the Con-
federatc army under his command, Gen. Sher.
man said
81 believe this government will keep on
growing until it spreads itself over the entire
American continents; but in order to gain this
much,deSired end, aud to maintain ourselves
as a free and independent republic, VIC have
got to show more charity toward each other.
II has been remarked by some gentleman who
has preceded me that it was generally conce-
ded by the soldiers Of both armies at the close
of the late civil war that il the questions. and
all matters OF the settlement of the differences
between the North and South, were left To
the armies It would be settled ut once. and
everything would become quiet and ORDERLY.
so believed, and before signing the agree
ment with General Joe Johnston | called to-
gether all the generals under nv command,
and without a dissenting voice they agreed
with me. l believed they surrendered in good
faith, and would have lived up to the very
letter OF the agreement !; and, in my opiuion.
IT there had been no reconstruction acts of
Congress, and the armies had been left at the
time to settle all question Of difference be,
tween the different sections of the country.
the people would have at once become ouiet
and peaceable."

THE FLICK ELEOTION.

Returns Ofthe election, Csays the Wheeling
Register of Friday,) come in slowly, indeed.
That apathy which caused n remarkably light
vote to be cast, seems to extend also to the
forwarding of returns. Very few of the peo.
pie took the trouble to vote, and = still smaller
number seem to feel a sufficient interest in the
result to send in the figures for publication.
West Virginia is PrOverbialIy slow in furnish
ing exact returns of any election no matter
how important the issue may be, but when so
little interest is taken as has been manifested
Iatterly in relation to the FLICK amendment,
there is no telling when, if ever, we will get
= complete aud Official report.
We publish elsewhere all the returns that
have yet come to hand, together with extracts
from letters and from tho county newspapers
lnrelatiOn to the election. 1t will be observed
that the vote was exceedingly light at every
locality heard from. Many Of the reopIo
were not aware that an election was to be
held ; many had forgotten all about it and
many chose knowingly to let it go by default.
In some localities, the Democrats voted for
ratification. and the Republicans for reflections;
In other places, these positions were reversed I;
aud the vote generally seems to have been as
completely nou-partisan as the most strenuous
opponent OF political parties could DESIRE
The amendment, in the shape in which it was
submitted, was not acceptable to the mass of
either party, and neither looked upon it as
purely a party measure. The consequence is
seen In tue very small vote polled.
