At the the Government it took and official document three weeks to cross the country; now it takes two minutes- San Francisco and Galvestion and Dcs Moines arc to-day nearer Washington than Richmond was then. There never has been a day of more thorough consolida tion and unity than now. Would that the people [all appreciated it. You sec the whole impression of my Southern journey was one of encouragement.
