“ THE U. E. SENATORS ELECT.
In the selection of Hon. A. H. Stephens
and Hon. Herschel V. Johnston,to represen-
Georgia in the Senate of the United States,
the General Assembly of the State have
discharged the high and responsible duty
devolved on them in a manner that wili
meet the general approbation of the people
whom they represent and should be accept
able to Congress and the National Adminis
tration. In these distinguished citizens Geor
gia preseuts two of her ablest and most ex
perienced Statesmen whose exalted talents
and purity of character could not fail to ex
ert a salutary influence in the councils ot the
nation, at a time when conservative wisdom
and prudent moderation are so much needed
10 calm the angry passions and soothe
the bitter animosities by whhich the
sections nave been so widely estranged.
Both the gentlemen have a record in the
Congress of the United States as national
men—both resisted secession while there was
a hope of preserving the integrity of the
Union, both are known to be warmly in favor
of reconstruction and reconciliation, and both
in a pre-eminent degree possess the confi
dence of the people of Georgia. Their ad
mission, with our delegation to Congress
■would bo hailed with gladness by our citi
zens, while it would revive their hopes for
the establishment of mutual trust, confidence
and good-will between the sections and for
the future peace, prosperity and happiness
of our common country.
GENERALS SHERIDAN AVDEiRLY
The public has been much interested in the
late controversy between Gen. Sheridan, of
he United States army, and Gen. Early, late
of the Confederate States army, touching the
relative strength of their respective com
mands during the stirring campaigns in the
Shenandoah Valley. The widely descrepant
and apparently irreconcilable statements of
these distinguished officers present an issue
of great historical interest aud importance,
which should be settled now, whilst the
proofs are fresh, and the witnesses are alive.
We concur fully iu the opinion expressed by
a cotemporary, that to arrive at such a re
sult, it is incumbent on those who engage
iu what ought now to be an exclusively his
torical question, to avoid anything like pas
sion and partisanship, and consider the facts
iu dispute, with a rigid impartiality and a
stern fidelity to historical truth and justice.
A communication written by a prominent
and intelligent citizen of New Orleans, who
was an officer of Gen. Early’s staff, recently
appeared in the New Orleans Picayune, pre
sents the facts involved in this controversy
in a clear and impartial light, and reconciling
most happily the conflicting statements.
The writer says Gen. Sheridan’s statement
of facts is correct. From August 4th, 1864,
to March 1st, 1665, he has no doubt that
about 13,000 Confederate prisoners were
taken in the valley of Virginia. Notwith
standing this fact, he says he knows of his
own knowledge, that Gen. Early’s statement
is also correct when he states that he had
about 8,500 muskets in the second engage
ment with Gen. Sherman. That be knows
rom the official reports that he himself made
and from actual observation at reviews,
drills, inspectious iu camp aud on the march,
the effective strength of every brigade aud
division of infantry under Gen. Early’s com
mand. Of the cavalry and artillery he could
not speak so autbentatively. He says the
prisoners (13,000) captured by Gen. Sherman
were taken from the department over which
Gen. Early was supposed to have the nomi
nal command. Iu these arts to be included, of
course, all the straggling cavalry that in
fested the valley of Virginia, a greater ter
ror to their friends than their foes ; the guer
rillas made up of deserters and skulkers from
the army of Northern Virginia, the forag
ing details sent out to supply that army with
forage, teamsters, laborers, detailed men of
the quartermaster and commissary depart
ments, all of whom were legitimate prison
ers, as they were enlisted men, the hangers
on of the medical department, ptivttes ab
sent on furlough, captured iu their homes,
and the disabled men that followed the army
(adding nothing to its effective strength)
rather than remain in the hospitals to which
they had been ordered. All these made an
aggregate of prisoners captured by Gen.
Sheridan, corresponding with the number
stated by Gen. Sheridan.
He concludes hia letter with the remarks
that Geu. Sheridan and Gen. Early are both
capable and brave officers and honorable
men, and that neither would make a state
ment which he did not believe.
We take great pleasure iu giviDg addition
al publicity to these interesting facts of the
campaigns referred to, because they make
consistant and harmonious statements which
appeared irreconcilable, aud will supply
the most valuable of all materials for the
future historian.
IN GENERAL.
—In the Washington City Criminal Court,
on Wednesday, the case of Mrs. Cobb, the
pardon brokeress, against L. C- Baker, late
chief Government Detective, came up for
trial on a charge of false arrest and imprison
ment. In her evidence Mrs. Cobb narrated
the manner of her arrest, stating that Baker
took two hundred dollars from her under
threat of handcuffing her if she refused. She
acknowledged to having obtained three par
dons for Southern meD, and that these two.
hundred dollars forcibly taken from her by
Baker paid for one of them. The defence at
tempted to break down her reputation for
chastity and veracity. The trial will last for
several days.
—It is stated that $100,000 of the new is
sues of fractional currency, which are in
tended to supercede the old issues of small
circulating notes, will be issued daily during
the coming week.
—The Russian Government have given

A New Paper in So dtiiwestern Georgia.
The first issue of a new paper entitled, “The
Quitman Banner" . published at Quitman,
Georgia, has reached us. It is strikingly
ueat in external appearance, and bears evi
dence of able and faithful editorial labor. Con
taining a well prepared digest of the news of
tiie day and a godly store of attractive read
ing matter, thoroughly devoted to the inter
ests of its section and conducted by exper
ienced hands, it cannot fail to become a
widely popular and influential journal, while
the great inducements it offers to advertisers
in that locality will insure remuneration to
its public-spirited projectors.
people
Bishop Elliott.—We see it stated in tbe
Nashville Union and American that a Phila
delphia paper indulges tbe luxury of a sneer
at Bishop Elliott, of Georgia, for signifying
to Bishop Hopkins, of Vermont, his readi
ness to reunite at once with the Episcopal
Church North; and that Bishop Wilmer, of
Alabama, also comes in for a due share of
like courteous remarks. This sort of thing,
says the Union, is so characteristic that
might pass, but from a lamentation in the
same paper, that somehow or other New
York is getting pretty much all. tbe South
ern trade, while Philadelphia is getting little
or none.
Not many weeks since Bishop Elliott was
severely criticised by the same journal lor
alleged antipathy to the proposition to re
unite the two branches of the Church; and
now that he has generously acceded thereto,
it continues its aspersions by insinuating
that be has been constrained to “surrender'
by the force of popular sentiment in his dio
cese.
As the Union and American says, consid
ering the eminently generous and magnani
raous spirit with which the “surrender” of
such men as Bishop Elliott is met by our
colemporary, it certainly is rattier strange,
why, iu renewing their trade, Georgia people
should pass by Philadelphia and go.to New
York to buy!
The editor of the conplaiuing journal cer-
taiuly has the right in this free country to
minister gratification to sectional prejudice
by a licentious use of his pen; bat selfish
motives, if no other, should admonish him to
refrain from this, wantonly wounding the
feelings of the friends of men so universally
respected as Bishop Elliott.
Personal.—Bvt. Brig. Gen. Burns return
ed to Hilton Head via Savannah last week,
having been north on furlough. He resumes
his position os Chief Commissary of South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida, with Head
quarters tor tbe present at Hilton Head.
Major Langdon, the popular and efficient
Acting Chief Commissary during Gen. Burns’
absence, remains at Headquarters.
Government Workshops closing Up.—The
number of employees in tbe Quartermasters
Department at Hilton Head, has again been
reduced.
There is now scarcelyenough employed to
do tbe necessary labor of the Post.
The U. S. Quartermaster’s machine shop
at St. Helena, S. C., will be entirely closed
on the 1st February. Ail the work to Quar
termaster’s boats in the Department of South
Carolina, will hereafter be doue at Charles
ton.
—The freezing over of the St. Lawrence
river has put the Treasury Department upon
its mettle to prevent smuggling, and au ad
ditional force of officers and detectives has
been despatched to the scene of operations.
