[Special Correspondence of the Preu,
THE UNION PACIFIC RAILWAY.
Fort T., August 15,1807.
The summit of the Sandro de Christo
Pass, as obtained through barometric ob
servations. is 9,200 feet above, tide-water.
In one mile the incline rises dver seven
hundred feet, offering a very serious ob
stacle to the construction of a road across
that particular part of the mountain. The
wagon road across the mountain has been
followed year after year without being at
all improved, while its course ran in op
position to every principle of engineering.
Fortunately for the success of Mr. Millers
expedition, there are otherpasses heading
on the Huerfano wbioh oner no obstruc
tion, either in grade or location, to a good
lino. The principal of these is theMoscn
Pass, which bos never been traversed by
wagons on account of a few rough boulders
that obstruct it at points, ana then it is
some fifteen miles longer to Fort Garland
by that route than by the Saugre de Chris
to. Another “pass” perfectly feasible is
that of the Cbicharus, about seven miles
south of the Sangre de Christo. Mr.
Miller will make a thorough survey of
these passes, as well as of one that offers
a fine line through'a valley that heads
within one thousand feet of the waters in
the Sangre de Christo valley.
The people in this vicinity have been
remarkably kind, offering their services
gratis, to guide our surveyors, and exhib
itingtbo deepest interest in our.success.
SANGRE DE CHRISTO VALLEY.
I expected from the very name of tlio
mountains, “ Booky,” and in accordance
with my preconceived notions of tho
range, to find the elevations sterile and
covered with large or fragmentary rooks.
Tho mountains bordering on tho Huer
fano, disappointed us' agreeably. The
slopes, up to an elevation of 10,000 feet,
are covered with dense forests of pine
trees, well suited for lumber and building
purposes, besides large groves, of straight,
beautiful aspen trees., The ground, even
in the shade of tho forest, is covered with
line grass, mnoh superior to that found on
the Huerfano, and which ourhnrd-Work
ed animals appear to enjoy very much.—
The valley of the Sangre de Christo is of
much more elevation than the plains east
of the range, and it is certainly the most
charming spot my eye ever beheld. It
averages about a half mile In width, by
twenty In length, Through It flows tho
clear, cool Bangre de Christo, which heads
In a spring near the Pass. It is filled with
fine trout, some of them weighing two
pounds, and on which our party has been
and ’still is revelling. The mountains,
covered with trees, slope down to the
ntrAjun,.and na t.ha haavy grass referred to
occupies what is usually coved-witH
underbruah in woods, the landscape has
the appearance of abeautlfuland carefully
tendeddemesue. Yesterday Cant. Btuart
and Lieut. Hanoy, accompanied by my
self, traversed the whole length of the
valley. to Fort, Garland. At. times we
stopped- to fish and gather bouquets of
the most beautiful flowers which we found
In abundance along the stream. As we
neared Fort Garland, the valley widened
and the Bangre ’de Christo, increased by
the addition of hundreds of clear moun
tain springs, assumed the size and digni
ty of a river. Tp the right of tho road the’
mountalnsbecame more elevated and pre
cipitous, rising at length into tho snow
clad peaks of the Sierra Blanca. The ele
vation of tho valley was so great, that It
brought us temptingly hear the snow,
though the change in the atmosphere
destroyed our desire for ice.

GOLD MINING.
■ From tho Sangre de Christo summit to
Fort Garland wo passed many places
where the ground had been worked for
gold; and at the fort I have since learned
that a large party is now engaged in pla
cer-digging ul " The Graybaok,” near the
Sangre de Christo summit. The claims
In that vicinity pay to individual work
ers from five to seven dollars per diem,
and this while laboring under many dis
advantages. A company is organized,
and is now making preparations to con
vey water to the placer, whore they ex
pect to be well rewarded for their enter
prise! As the organization is composed
of experienced miners, I feel they will
meet with that success which they so
well deserve.
FORT OAKLAND.
This fort is about seven miles west of
what was once Fort Massachusetts, now
abandoned. It was established in the fall
of 1858, and is certainly the best arranged
post I have seen in the West. It is beau
tifully located on the Sangre do Christo,
where that stream enters the San Luis
valley. Fort Garland is now garrisoned
by the first battalion of New Mexican
volunteers, known as Kit Carson’s battal
ion. They have served longer than any
volunteers our Government has had in
its service, and with afldelity that reflects
the highest credit on the officers and men
of the command. It was raised at a time
when the Territory was in the greatest
danger; when Bibloy with his Texans
was marching on it, and since then it has
kept treason down in New Mexico. The
celebrated Kit Carson, now brigadier gen
eral, commanding the organization from
the start, being assisted by his old.frlend,
Colonel, Albert'H. Pfeflfer, and an able
body of officers, several of - whom, are
Mexicans, ns are the ■ greater number of
enlisted men. It is my intentlonto speak
more fully of Fort Garland and its kind,
gentlemanly officers, on nfy return from
the north. I will say* however, in this
connection, that In soldierly bearing and
proper discipline the men of this celebra
ted regiment will. equal any in the regu
lar service,do which this regiment should
have been attached. I regret not to have
found General Carson ’here, he having
gone to Santa Fe oh business.; I will see
him’on my return. ; In the meantime his
place is well filled by Colonel .Pfeflbr,

SOLD TO THE EVIL ONE.
Onco upon a time lived a mighty king,
who had a lovely wife, but no children.
The deficiency vexed him to Buoh a de
gree as to force from him a declaration,
that if the Evil One himself gave him a
son, the banting should be right wel
come. Shortly after the utterance of this
conditional promise he was honored with,
a visit by a distinguished foreigner, whom
he entertained hospitably in his castle.—
In the course of conversation, the lack,
or an heir to the throne was mentioned,
and the stranger made a most liberal of
fer, saying that the king should havatwo
children within the course of a year, if
he would present him with one.
Finding that no reasonable objection
could be made to this proposal, the king
closed with it at once, and before a
twelvemonth had passed, his queen bless
ed him with a pair of twins, a boy aud a
girl, both as beautiful as the day; He
was so highly delighted that tho contract
ho had made nearly faded from his mind.
However, before another twelvemonth
was gone, his memory was refreshed by a
visit from the stranger, who asked which
of the children he was to have? The
king, with a dismal face, made the awk
ward confession that ho would rather not
part with either. Tho boy was necessary
as heir to the throne, and tho girl was her
mother’s pet; so what was to be done?—
The stranger—who, of course, was the
Evil One, but who clearly made good tho
Eroverb, which states that he is not so
lack as he is painted—was touched by the
King's solicitations, aud told him that he
would let him have both the children for
five years longer, • At the end of that pe
riod, he would assuredly return.
On rolled the five years, and back came
the stranger, to find the king more un
willing than ever. Hard words were
spoken on both sides, till at last a com
promise was effected. The stranger was
not to return until tho girl had comple
ted her sixteenth year, and the king was
then to give her up without resistance.
Years glided dismally away, and the
father's spirits became lower as ho ap
proached the sixteenth anniversary of his
daughter's birthday. His increasing mel
ancholy attracted the notice of his son, a
youth of singular precocity, who did his
beat ,to learn the truth, but failed in every
attempt. At last the boy besought him
self pf his tutor—a priest of eminent piety
—who, as soon.as he heard bis pupiPs re
port; at once proceeded to the royal suf?
ferer. . > - . ..
“I have sold. my. daughter tothe —,”
' waa the brief, but pregnant confession of
the fneianoboly king,
The priest was not courtier enough to
dissemble his opinion that transactions of
this kind were highly improper: but he
comforted the mourner with-the-assur
ance that the case was pot quite hopeless.
If lid only knew the exact time at which
the hateful visitor was expected, he Would
he oh the apot and prove a match for all
mysterious strangers in the world. _
The speolfled birthday arrived, and so
did the visitor; but ho found the priest
at,the princess’ chamber-door, clad in all
tholnslgnla Ofthe holy office. Ho durst
■nob enter-the room. An altercation en
'suedl which ended in the retreat of the
enemy; not;’ however, without the dec
laration that he would bide his time. 1
As long as the worthy priest lived, the
girl Was well -protected, and throve ex--
ceediugly;-but when at the end- of two
years be died, she feU sick and did not
, Tong-survlve him. While on her death
bed she entreated her , lather not to bury
her St once; but to allow her to lay for a
week in the church, under a strict guard:
With this wish the king Complied, and
the princess was laid on a' bier erected in
the church, while a sentinel was placed
.’at the door. . „, ~,, ’
On the very first midnight a frightful
event occurred; -The princess, starting
from 1 her coffin, shrieking aloud, “ where
is xny abominable father and without
more ado seized the eentlneland.tore him
to pieces. In the morning the church
> door was open: the princess quiet :tn
(her’doffln, and the remains of the senti
nel-lay scattered in various directions.—
'lntelligence of these facta spread far, and,
wide; and a second sentinel was 'not.easi-,
ly to he obtained. Lots; hoWever, were
cast for. the appointment of. a, person tc
.’the undesirable. vacancy, and. the victim
'-wo».-a..ypnng.Bp!.<her who
was in the habit of paying, his devotions
every evening 'to J an imago of the-Holy
Virgin. !After' fervently 1 praying; he set
off for the church, and met on his way an
old woman, who asked the cause of his
melapoholy, and learning the danger
with Which he;was menaced; urged him
to present himself at the altar of the Ma
donna, when he bad entered the oharob,
and to close the rail behind him.
With, this advice he complied, and
when mldnightartlved the princess again
raised herself from the coffin. “Four and
twenty hours have passed” she said,-
“ since T have drank human blood, where
Is my abominable father, that I may tear
him to pieces for his dastardly promise ?”
Again mie raged about the church but
hot perceiving the sentinel, returned to
her coffin without doing further harm.
The sentinel was terribly tightened,
MI
but the king convinced that be bad got
the right man in the right place, persua
ded him to keep crimed another night.—
, Again the young man performed Ufauuu
itual devotions, and again be met the old
woman. The incidents that now occur
red were nearly identical with those of
the previous night, only the indicated
place of refuge was the confessional, and
the deceased princes was nioro violent
than before. It may be taken as a gen
eral rule that, In the popular stories of all
nations, the second or third adventurlcs
is generally similar to the first.
The king hod sdme difficulty iu per
suading the young man to perform the
awful duty of guarding the princess for a
third night;, but his entreaties, and st.iU
more bis representation that the safety of
a soul was at stake, ultimately prevailed.
On his way to the church, after ho had
prayed with unwonted fervor to his pro
tectress, he met, not the old woman, but
a sately Indy, who went with him Into
the building and told him to hold in his
loft band a bottle of mixture which she
gave him, to take the monstrance from
the tabernacle, and hold it in his right
hand, and thus armed to sit down close
to the high altar. She also warned him
of the novel circumstances for which ho
was to bo prepared.
After the departure of the stately lady,
the sentinel awaited the signal of the
midnight hour in great uneasiness. At
the last stroke of the clock the princess
again arose, with fire darting from her
eyes and mouth, cursing her father more
bitterly than over, and seeking with in
creased violence a victim for her wrath.
Presently four men made their appear;
anco, who seized her violently, ami stand
ing two on each side of the church, tossed
her backward and forward like a shuttle
cock. At the end of this strange perform
ance*they spread a carpet over the altar
stops, and flinging the princess upon it
were about to chop her to pieces with a
huge sword. .Warned than the time for
action was now come, the sentinel flung
the monstrance, containing the Host, at
the impious four, and they all vanished,
leaving the princess gasping at his feet.
Folding tne carpet, the sentinel, laid
the princess gently upon It. and touched
her with the contents of the bottle till
she fell into a profound sleep. On-the
following morning the king found his
daughter and her guardian, neither of
. them awake. Causing them to be raised
gently, be had them convoyed iu a four
horse carriage to bis palace, when he as
signed to each a separate apartment.—
Scarcely bad the princess awoke when
she called for her father and mother, who
was anxiously watching at the foot of her
bod, and osproasadUor dollgUt that, .after
her long and and heavy sufferings, she
COUlQ'Ouce 'more embrace them. Next
she called for her deliverer, vowing that
she would,have no other, husband.
On that Very day,the princess and the
seutinelwere married; and in grateful
reraembrance.of their deliverance from,
peril, the image of the Madonna was
placed on the altar of the chapel in the
royal palace. :
TALE.
The amusing adventure is
from Colonel Maroy’s 44 Thirty Years of
Army Life on the Border,” , A naval offi
cer, many years ago made the experiment
of hunting with the lasso, but his succes
was by no means decisive. The officer
had, it appeared, by constant practice
upon the* snip, while making the long
and tiresome voyage round tho Horn, ac
quired . very considerable proficiency in
tue use of the lasso, and was . able, at
twenty or thirty paces, to throw the noose
over the head of the negro cook at almost
every cast. So confident had he become
in his skill that on his arrival upon tho
coast of Southern California, he employed
a guide, and, mounted on a well-trained
horse, with bis lasso properly coiled and
ready for use, he one morning set out for
the mountains, with firm resolve of bag
ging a few grizzlies before night. He
ad not been out a great while before he
encountered one of the largest specimens
of the mighty beast, whose terrific aspect
amazed him not a little, but, os he had
come out with tho firm determination to
capture a grizzly, in direct opposition to
the advice of his guide, he resolved to
show him that he was equal to the occa
sion. Accordingly he seized his lasso
and riding up to the animal, gave it sev
eral rapid whirls above bis head in the
most artistic manner, and sent the noose
directly around the bear’s neck at the
very first cast; but the animal, instead
of taking to his heels and endeavoring
to run away, as he had anticipated; very
deliberately sab up on his haunches, fac
ing his adversary, aud commenced mak
ing a very careful examination of the
rope. He turned his head from one side
to the other in looking at it; he felt it
with his paws, and scrutonized it very
closely, as if it was something he could
not comprehend. In the meantime the
officer had turned his horse in the oppo
site direction, and commenced applying
the rowle to his side most vigorously,
with the confident expectation that he
was to ohoke tho bear to death and drag
him off in triumph; but to his astonish
ment, tho horse, with tho utmost efforts,
did not seem to advance. The great
strain upon the lasso, however, began to
choke the bear so much that he soon be
.camo enraged, and gave the rope several
violent slaps; first with one paw and theh
with the other, but seeing that this did
not relieve him; he seized the lasso with
both paws; and commenced pulling it
hand over hand, or rather paw over paw,
and bringing with it the horse and- rider
that wore {attached.to'the opposite ex
tremity; The officer redoubled the appli
cation of both, whip and-spur, but It was
all of no avail— he had evidently “caught
a Tartar,;” 1 and In spite of all ■ the efiorts
of his horse he recoiled rather, than ad-,
vanced.- In tbistintensly-exciting, and
critical juncture he cast a hasty glance to
the rear, and to his horror, found himself
steadily) backing- towards the frightful
monster; who sat up with hls eyes glar
ing like Walls of: fire,-his huge mouth
wide open and frothing with rage, send-*
Ing forth the mostterrlffio and deep toned
fonts, Ho now, for the first time,’ feit se
riously alarmed, and cried out ferociously’
for his guide to come to his-rescue.- -Tho
latter responded; promptly,-rode. up, cut
the lopso and extricated the amateur gen
tleman from his perrllous position. He
was much rejoiced at his escape, and in
reply to the inquiry of -the-guide as. to
whether he desired to continue the hunt.,
he said it was getting sa late ! ho: believed
he would capture no more: grizzlies that.

1 Gambling on Base Ball.—. The most
curious and amusing ,of the 1 many, hasp
ball 1 contests that have occurred this year
was that which took place at Chicago a
■few days since. The 1 Bxeelsibr.olub of
■that city, which has been : fondly
ed by its citizens as the best In the coun
try, has been fearfully beaten by the-Na
tlonal, of Washington.. To add to the hu
miliation, the Washington blub vves boat
on' tho day before by a rural olnb from
■Rockford, in Northern’’lllinois; 'lt ap
pears tliat a large number of heavy bet
ters accompanied the National club and
invested ail their spare money* in bets
with the Ohioagonlans.;* -■ '.
One of our Western exchanges estimates
that thoi Washington party’Won a* hun
dred thousand .’dollars- and that . half as'
much more was taken* out bT the city by
other betters. -The -Milwahkeb ‘ Wiscon
sin says‘ that one ' Milwaiikean brought
back two thousand dollars, another one
thousand two hundred dollars and anoth
er all the Way from fifty to one thousand
dollars. The Chicago people unwisely
got Into a rage and made cnarges ‘Jock
eying’ against tho winning club, but these
accusations were soon abandoned and a
clean confession of defeat had to bo made.
Tho match may be regarded as the culmi
nation of the base ball mania, which has
been so rapidly on. the increase during
the past year. The gambling accompa
niments of this fine, athletic sport will
we fear, cause it to sink into disrepute..

JUDGE WILLIAMS TO' ENFORCE IT.
THU LAST DISC VISE CAST ASIDE /
If there ia a man In Pennsylvania still
doubts that the Radicals are ; determined
to force Sumner’s universal negro suf
frage and negro equality bill through at
the next session of Congress, to him es
pecially do wo commend a perusal of the
account of the “ Equal Eights Meeting"
at Wilmington, Delaware, as reported at
length in Eorney’s Press of yesterday.—
Tho assemblage is said to have been large
and tho special reporter of tho Press ex
hausts tho vocabulary in describing the
excitiugaoenesoftheoccasiou. Womako
the following extracts:
[s|pccfaZ Correspondence the Prcst:
Wilmington-, Sept. 4, 1807.
The largest political meeting over held
in the State of Delaware, assembled yes
terday at Wilmington, to demand the re
cognition by law , over all the country, of
the entire equality of all American citizens
in all civil and political rights, without re*
gard to color,, and to appoint delegates to
a Convention of the Border States, to. bo
held at Baltimore on the 12th inst., to
solicit the passage by Congress of the Sum
ncr-Kclley bill establishing impartial suf
frage throughout the whole Union:
The vast assemblage convened in and
overflowed the largo hall of the Wilming
ton Institute, and was called to order at
twelve o’clock. .......
After the appointment of a long list of
officers, part negroes and part white men,
the Press goes on to say : .
A list of a hundred delegates to the com
ing Convention at. Baltimore, was, then
read by Samuel Bancroft Jr., Esq., and
unanimously adopted; a third of the dele-''
gates chosen being colored men, about six
hundred of whom were present at the.
meeting, .
The following resolutions, as read by
•Mr, Harrington, were received with the
greatest enthusiasm, and adopted by ac
clamation, the whole audience rising to
their feet: • ■
Resolved, - That- the- theory of -our
government, the claims of impartial jus
tice, the equal rights of citizens, and the
loyalty and faithful services of the color
ed people demand that the right of suf
frage shall be extended to them in common
with all other , loyal citizens ; and we. re
spectfully petition Congress to confer and
secure this right at the earliest ’ possible pe
riod, bysuohieglslatloaasthey may deem
right and appropriate,.,
.Resolved, That in the Slate of Delaware
there does iwt exist d Republican form of
government, because of • the exclusion of a
large .number of her colored citizens from
participation in the enjoyment and exer
cise of political rights and because of the
gross inequality of representation in ‘the
Legislature, whereby loss than one-half
of the, citizens wield the power of the,.
State. ’Wo hereby call upon Congress.to
assure to us the guarantees of the Con
stitution of the United States in every
particular.
Resolved, That we demand the recogni
tion by lav), of the entire equality of all
American citizens , without regard to cot
or, in all civil and political rights and
privileges, and the protection and en
couragement of the Government to en
able every man to occupy whatever posi
tion his virtues and intelligence may
qualify him to hold. ......
John-Andrew Jackson Cresswell, of
Maryland, an ex-Unlted States Senator,
made a long and .exceedingly Radical
speech, demanding that the Sumner-
Kelley bill be passed at the very begin
ning of the next session ofCohgresa. He
took the ground that no State which re
fused the negro a vote or the Tight to hold,
olllce, could be, said to have a republican
form of government, and expressed the
firm conviction 'that-the next Congress,
would at once pass a law abolishing eve
ry distinction between, the races in every
State of the Uniou. A prominent Radi
cal Congressman from Pennsylvania fol
lowed the blustering ox-Senator from
Maryland. We give the Press report of
how ho was received and what he said ;
The colored band cf Wilmington then
played .“ Hail to the Chief,” when the
president .amidst a perfect storm of en
thusiasm, introduced Hon. William D.
Kelley, a member of Congress from Phil
adelphia, the colored portion of the audi
ence especially rising to .tholr feet, and:
giving nine cheers for the Judge, whom,
since his Southern* tour, they seem to
consider their especial spokesman in the
halls; of Congress,: •. ... i ‘
The Judge said he could not help think
ing how rapidly the world does move and,
how good old John Brown’s soul Isjead
ing it on. Ho hoped thatsdme one ofthe
distinguished delegates just appointed :tO;

would bear'to it a'message froin.hlm/viz:
• that he endorsed every word of the ad
mirable resolutions Teported by his friend
Geno Val. Harrington. Ho saw early in
the War that it-was the duty of .the Gov-,
eminent to:rally all of Its citizens around
its flag, : . and to allow all to peril iliolr.
livesin its'defence. Fromthebeginning
of our great conflict he saw that our Im
perilled country-heeeed the aidof four
millions of. its most robust .citizens, and
felt that the .Almighty would hot allow
victory to perch: upon our banners till wC
at lost did justice to l our American citi
zens of African descent; 'And now we
need the political power of-theso. four
millions or people,, as. we needed their
military power before.**. Without their aid
we cannot reconstruct a singleioyal State
in the South. govern
hibnt must be organized there. - W© can
not send white men there, because they
don’t want to go, and If they did, they
would hardly bo welcomed by their whit©-
brethren: , But in all those States there
are bravo and true men, who all through,
the war'perilled'their lives

Judge Kelley logically reviewed the
Sresentfltate of Southern society, illlustra
ng bV the experience- pf his-late 1 tour,
through the reconstructed region, the ne
cessity of impartial suffrage os the sole

The Judge closed amidst great enthusi
asm, and after three tremendous cheers
for Kelley, the convention, on motion of
General Harrington, adjourned sine die.
Comment upon the above account
would be superfluous. None is needed.
The resolutions speak for the Radicals of
Pennsylvania os well as for those of Dela
ware. The Keystone and the little Dia
moud State are in the same boat. In tho
estimation of Congress neither of them
has a republican form, of government.—
They will both bo reconstructed by the
Sumnor-Kolley bill, unless Radaoallsm
receives a check In this State at the com

He will not deny that charge. No Re
publican paper dare deny It for him. It
is part and parcel of the plan of the pres
ent political campaign. The Republican
press in different parts of the State have
so nanouncod it. The issue is fairly and
squarely made up, and it must bo boldly
met. Nothing can prevent tho passage
of a bill making all tne negroes of Penn
sylvania tho full political and social
equals of the whites, except the election
of I Judge Sharewood. Even that may
not be sufficient to deter ■ Congress; but
with him upon the bench of oar Supreme
Court the obnoxious law could not be en
forced. ■ : '

THE TRUTH ABOUT OEK. BHEBIDiS,
-Now that General Sheridan ban been
peaceably removed the u loyal” prqsa of
New Orleans, so called, are beginning to
tell the truth about him. It now appears
that even the Radicals did not like him
and that they welcome any change in the
command of that district. The
paper—the Republican —edited by a mix*
ed Corps of whites and negroes is forced
to spy; .
As the connection of General Sheridan
with this military district is now brought
to al close, we deem it appropriate to give
a cursory review of his oivif administra
tion, especially Jn Louisiana. This is the
mote Important'at this time, because
some of the recent acts of this distinguish
ed officer have been so misrepreseuted by
newspaper correspondents as to produce
quite an erroneous impression at the
North. 1 We see by Northern Republican
journals that General Sheridan Is regarded
throughout that section of the country
os having taken an advanced position la
the promotion of Republican principles,
aud that his removal is looked npon as
an insult to the republlcanparty. Hods
considered, to have done efiloleut service
in this district to the cause of reconstruc
tion on the Congressional plan, especially •
by the prompt removal of disloyal offi
cials. and the appointment of able and
patriotic men in their stead. Now It is
not our intention to detract, In the lease 1 ,
from the glory which encircles the brow
of the hero of the Shenandoah. We de
sire to recognize and acknowledge all his
eminent services, and to pay the tribute
due to hlß.eminenl quaUues. We regret
that among the latter we cannot consol*
entioualy place statesmanship. Indeed
it Is very seldom that two gifts so rare
aud so brilliant as military genius and
statesmanlike insight are bestowed on
the one individual. Nor does General
Sheridan himself layclaim to any such ex
ceptioualdlstinctions. Oh the contrary, ho
unostentatiously proclaims himself sim
ply a soldier, aud makes no secret of the
small estimation in which he holds those
qualities which nature has denied him.
Ho fraukly announced on first assuming
command of this district his utter con
tempt for politics aud politicians; an un
fortunate prejudice in one destined to
exorcise political powers so entenslve as
those conferred by. the military recon
struction laws. Tuat this prejudice has
bad a paralyzing tendency which greatly
diminished his usefulness and retarded
instead of advancing the cause intrusted
to his care, we are about to show.
After detailing his shortcomings at
greats length the Republican goes on to
say: j .
. To sum, up, r Geueral Sheridan, after
twb'years of authority and five* months
of absolute‘ control In this District,
leaved the City of New Orleans, the chief
pointr of interest ln .it, in a deplorable
condition, financial, political, and sani
tary ;lits treasury robbed by rebel officials
under his Very nose; the cause of Repub
licanism no more : advanced among ite
white citizens, than it was two years ago;
and . ad epidemic raging which the expe
rience ofthe last five years seems at least
to teach, us might have been avoided by
care ; and.cleanTineBs.,.
- Undoubtedly this is all true os gospel, and
Isas well known in the Tribune office and
at General Grant’s headquartes as in
New Orleans. General Sheridan made a
dashing, brilliant soldier, but his course
as commander of a military district
showed him to be wllful|’ insubordinate,
a creator of. confusion, and utterly with
out the temper, tact and discretion nec
essary for the position he was placed In.
T«d Negroes in Virginia.— A corres

The result of registration shows a white.
majority:of about twenty thousand; but
os therefore more than ten thousand
white Radicals in the State, it may bo
considered as in the hands of the Radi
cals... About forty thousand whites are
not registered, while every negro over
nineteen years Is. The result shows the
negro'population 'to have diminished
twenty-five percent slncelSGO. The de
crease is probably about half owing to mi-,
