[signed] q. s. GRANT:
General GOrslOn's EDeeek cal the Salary
Bill.
b WASHINGTON, january 12.-The speech Of
General Gordon, of Georgia, in the Senate
to-day on the salary question was listened to
with great attention, especially that portion
of it which partook OF the nature of per-
sonal explanation, and which referred to the
surrender of General Lee at Appomattox.
MIR. Gordon made it because, he said, he had
been charged with being influenced by per-
sonal prejudice against the Administration.
BE said he was one Of those who held q
command in the Confederate. army when it
toN, and until that time he had never known
what grief was. The negotiations occupied
four days and four nights, and during all
that time not one word of exultation escaped
the lips Of the Federal commanders. In
fact they eVaded all conversation relative to
battes,in which the Union arms had been
successful, and spoke only Of those engage
ments in which they bad been defeated. It
sunk deep into his heart, and he mentioned
tue fact to prove that he was not personally
hostile to President Grant.
