In tho Sonato ITouse, the twentieth daj of December, in the year^f our. Lord ono thousand eight hundred and sixty five. W. D. PORTER, Speaker of the Senate. C. II. SIMONTON, ' Speaker of the House of Representatives. -: The Southern States. message of president johnson?report of lieut. gen erat grant. The following is the' messag3 transmit .- ted by President Johnson, on Tuesday, .. December 19, to the Senate, in answer to ? a resolution of inquiry of that body. Pre? sident Johnson says: To the Senate of the United States : In reply to the resolution adopted by the Senate, on the 12th, I have the honor to state that tho rebellion waged by a portion of the people against the properly consti? tuted authorities of the Government of the "United States has been suppressed; that the United States are in possession of ev? ery State in which the insurrection exis? ted, and that, as far as could bo done, tho Courts of the United S:ates havo been re? stored, post offices re-established and steps taken to put into effective operation tho revenue laws of the country. As the re ? suit of tho measures instituted by tho Ex? ecutive, with tho view of induciug a re? sumption of the functions of the States comprehended in the inquiry of the Senate, tho people of North Carolina, South Caro? lina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Lou? isiana, Arkansas and Tennessee have re .cognized their respective Stato Govern? ments, and are yielding obedience to the laws and Government of the United States with more willingness and greater promp? titude than, under the circumstances, could reasonably havo boon anticipated. The proposed amendment to the Consti? tution, providing for tho abolition of sla? very forever within tho limits of the country, has been ratified by each one of those States, with the exception of Mis? sissippi, from which no official informa? tion has been recoived; and in nearly all of them measures have been adopted, or are now pending, to confer upon frecd men tho privileges which arc essential to their comfort, protection and security.? In Florida and Texas, tho people are making commendable progrcr.s in resto? ring their State Governments, and no doubt is entertained that they will, at an early period, be in a condition to resume all of tiieir practical relations with tho Federal Government. In that portion ot j the Union lately in rebellion, tho aspect j of affairs is more promising than, in view ? of all tho circumstances, could well havo been expected. The peoplo throughout tho entire South evince an audible desire to renevr their allegiance to the Govern? ment, and to repair the devastation of war by a prompt and cheerful return to peaceful pursuits. An abiding faith is entertained that their actions will con? form to their propositions, and that, on acknowledging the supremacy of the Constitution and tho laws of tho United States, their loyalty will be unreservedly given to tho Government whoso leniency they cannot fail to appreciate, and whose fostering"caro will restore them to a con? dition of prosperity. It is true that in some of tho States the demoralizing ef? fects of the war aro to be seen in occa? sional disorders, but these are local in character, not frequent in occurrence, and are rapidly disappearing as the authority of civil law is extended and sustained.? Perplexing questions wero naturally to be expected from tho great and sudden change in tho relations between tho two races, but systems are gradually develop? ing themselves, under which tho frcedmen will receive the protection-to which he is justly entitled, and by means of his labor make himself a useful and independent member of the community in which he has his home. From all tho information in my possession, and from that which I have recently received from tho most re? liable authority, I am induced.to cherish the bslicf that soctional animosity is sure? ly and rapidly merging itself into a spirit of rationality; that representation, con? nected with a properly adjusted system of taxation, will result in a. .harmonious restoration of tho relations of the States to thp National Union. The report of OarlShurz is herewith transmitted, as re? quested by the Senate. No reports from tho lion. John Covode have been received by tho President. The attenlion of tho -Senate is invited-to the accompanying report of Lieutenant-General Grant, who recently made a tourof inspection-through sovcral of tho States whose inhabitants participated in the rebellion. ANDREW JOHNSON". ? Washington", I). C, Dccouiber 18, 1805. general grant's reioiit. Uo'qrs Armies or the United States, Washington, December 13, 1865. Iiis Excellency A. Johnson, President of the United States : Sia: In reply to your noto. of tbe six? teenth instant, requesting a report from me, giving such information as I may be possessed of coming within :hc scope of tbe inquiries made by the Senate of the United States in their resolution of tho twelfth instant, I have the honor to sub? mit the following: With your approval, and that of the Honorable Secretary of War, I left Washington on the twenty seventh ol last month, for tl o purpose of making a tour of inspection through some J of the Southern States, or States lately in. rebellion, and to see what changes were necessary to be made in the disposition of the military forces of the country; how these forces could be reduced and expenses curtailed, etc., and to learn, as far as pos? sible, tho feelings and intentions of the citizens of these States towards the Gen? eral Government. The State of Virginia, being so acccssablo to Washington City, and information from this quarter, there? fore, being readily obtained, I hastened through the Stato without conversing or meeting with any of its citizens. In Raleigh, North Carolina, I spent one day; in Charleston, South Carolina, two days; in Savannah and Augusta, Georgia, each one day. Both in travelling and whilst stopping I saw much and conversed free? ly with the citizens of those States, as well as with officers of the army who have been stationed among then". The follow? ing arc the conclusions con e to by me : I am satisfied that the mass of thinking men of the South accept the present situ? ation of affairs iu good faith. The ques? tions which have heretofore divided the two sections?slavery and State Rights, or the right of a State to Eccede from the Union?they regard as having been set? tled forever by the highest tribunal?arms ?that man can resort to. I was pleased ! to learn that the leading men whom 1 met, that they not only accepted the de? cision arrived at as final, but that, now t[>e. smoke of battle has cleared away, and time has been given for reflection, that this decision has been a fortunate one for the wholo country, they receiving tho liko benefits from it with those who opposed them in tho field and in council. Four years of war, during which law was executed only at the point of the bayonet I throughout tho States in rebellion, have left tho people, possibly, in a condition not to yield that ready obedience to civii authority the American people have gen? erally been in the habit of yielding. This would render the presence of small garri? sons throughout those States necessary, until such timo as labor returns to its proper channel and civil authority is fully established. I did not meet any one oi ther those holding places under tho Gov? ernment or citizens of the Southern States, who think it practical to withdraw the military from the South at present. Tho white and the black mutually require the protection of tho General Government There is such universal acquiescence in tho authority of the General Government throughout the portion of tho country visited by me, that the mere presence of a military force, without regard to numbers, is sufficient to maintain order. The good of tho country and economy require that the forco kept in tho interior, where thero are more freedmen than elsewhere in the Southern States than at forts upon tho sea coast, where no fjrec is necessary, should all bo white troops. Tho reasons for this aro obvious, without mentioning many of them. The presenco of black troops, lately slaves, demoralize labor both by their advice and by furnishing in their camps a resort for the freedmen for long distances around. Waite troops general? ly excite no opposition, and therefore a small number of them can maintain order in a given district. Colored troops must be kept in bodies sufficient to , defend themselves. It is noi, the thinking men who would use violence towards any class of troops sent among them by tho General Government, but the ignorant in some places might, and the late slave seoras to be imbued with the idea that tho property o:f his lato master should by right belong to him?at least, sho.ild have no protec? tion from the colored soldier. - Thero is danger of collisions being brought on by sich causes. My observations lead mo to the conclusion that the citizens of the Southern States are anxious to return to self-government within the Union as soon as possible; that, whilst reconstructing, they want and require protection from tho Government; that they think is re? quired by the Government, not humilia? ting to them as citizens, and that if such a course was pointed out, they would pur? sue it in good faith. It is to bo regrotted that there cannot baa greater comming ling at this timo. between the citizens of the two sections,1 and particularly of those entrusted with the law-making power. I did not givo thojjoperations of the Frcod men's Bureau that attention I would have done if more time had been at my dispo? sal. Conversations on the subject, how? ever, with officers connected with the Bu? reau, led me-to think that in some of the States its affairs have not been conducted with good judgment or economy, and that the belief widely spread among tho frced? men of the Southern States that tho lands of their former owners will, at least in part, bo divided among them, has como from tho agents of this Bureau. This be? lief is seriously interfering with tho wil? lingness of tho frcedmen to make contracts for tho coming year. In some form the Freedmen's Bureau is an absolute neccs sit}-, until civil law is established and en? forced, securing to tho frcedmen their rights and full protection. At pre3ont, however, it is independent of tho military establishment of tho country, and seems to be operated by the different agents of the Bureau according to their individual notions.- Everywhere General IToward, tho able head of the Bureau, mado friends by the just and fair instructions and ad. vice ho gave; but the complaint in South Carolina was, that when ho left, things went on as before. Man}-, perhaps the majority, of the agents of the Freedmen's Bureau,- advise the freedmcn that by their own industry they must expect to live. To this end they endeavor to secure em? ployment for them, and to sec that both contracting parties comply with their en? gagements. In some instances, I am sorry to say, the freedmen's mind does not seem to bo disabused of the idea that tho frced? men havo tho right to live without care or provision for the future. The effect of the belief in division of lands is idleness aud accumulation in camps, towns and cities. In such cases, I think it will be found that vice and disease will tend to the extermination or great reduction ot tho colored race. It cannot be expected that the opinions held hymen at the South for years can bo changed in a day, and therefore the freedmcn require for a few yearn, not only to protect them, but the fostering care ?f thoso who will givo them good counsel, and on whom they can rely. Tho Freed? men's Bureau being separated from the military establishments of the country, requires all tho expenso of a separate organization. One docs not necessarily know what tho other is doing, or what orders tboy aro acting under. It seems to mo this could be corrected by regarding every officer on duty with troops in the Southern States as agents of tho. r reed men's Bureau, and then havo all orders from the head of tho Bureau sent through department commanders. This would create a responsibility that would socuro uniformity of action throughout the South, would insure the orders and instructions from the head of the Bureau being carried out, and would relieve from duty and pay a largo number ot employees of tho Gov? ernment. I have the honor to be, very respectful? ly, your obedient servant, U. S. GRANT, Lieutenant-General. eager_?---:jt.;_u ?-s=.t=j_;_l_t? ? ? - ? ?{je person $nfe([tgntter. THURSDAY KORIJTIYG, JAJT. 4, 1866. JAMES A. HOYT, Editor. LOCAL ITEMS. Military Citasoe.?Wc learn that Lt. Col. C. S. Bkow.n" has been rclievod from the command of this Sub District, which now comprises the Dis? tricts of Anderson, Greenville, Fickens and Abbe? ville, with head quarters at this place. Capt. Bex?. A. B.vnnbw's, Co. "A.," First'Maine Bat? talion, has boen placed in command. The Holidays?Concluded with rather more noise and disturbance in our village than was ap? parent in the early part of the week, but no mate? rial damage was effected save to thoso who " drank deep" at some fountain ether than Nature's. The action of tho Town Council, in closing" the liquor establishments, has had a salutary effect, and we arc assured by the new commandment of the mili? tary that better regulations are to be enforced, to insure quiet aud peaceabto behavior amongst nil clarses. _ Tue New Year.?This is not exactly a subject of locnl comment nlonc, as it is fair to presume that one-half the editors over the globe havo sent forth their customary greetings ere this. But wc 1 wish to speak of it in a circumscribed sense, and hence the local application of this article. With the advent of January, there was either great hope or apprehension pervading the minds of the com? munity ; aud now that the dawn of the New Vear has broke fully upon our anxious visions, there seems no satisfactory solution of the vexed ques? tion, M What is to become of the frcedmen ?"? Some have made contracts with their former ow? ners, others again have found homes elsewhere, but the vast majority are idle and unemployed. It is our belief that the burden of blame for this slate of things is attributable to the common desire among the freedmcn to " set up " for themselves? freedom they conceive to be a luxury which re? quire;; no effort to maintain, and hence they evince no anxiety nbout obtaining situations. But liiere is a share of responsibility which fulls upon the community generally, in the fact that many land ownors utterly refuse tp make contracts with their former Blavcs, or take no pains to teach the igno? rant and unfortunate negro that his condition is uncertain, and honest, hard work alone can estab? lish a respectable status for him. Every one is in? terested in making contracts for the present year. Hwc are to have an idle, thriftless and vagrant population, then may not the burden of their sup? port fall upon all? They aic here in our midst, and we see no chonco but for farmers to offer in? ducements for their labor. "Do your duty and leave the consequences to God! " ^ j VALEDICTOEY. Yt'ith this issue my connection, both as Assistant Editor and Proprietor of the Anderson Intelligencer, ceases. A few weeks before the commencement of | the great struggle through which we have passed, this connection was established, and until " war's dread alarms" summoned us to put aside the pen for the sword, I luxuriated in the proud distinc? tion of being an Editor. Since the return of Peace, I have been but nominally conne' 'ed with the editorial department of the psper?the Senior Editor having had the entire supervision of its con? duct and management. That ho has " acted well his part"?that ho has catered successfully, to the public, is amply attested by the liberal patronage with which his efforts have' been rewarded. Beset with difficulties, cut off from mail facilities, his ac tive'energy has overcome all opposing obstacles, and he now has tbe paper established upon & basis alike profitable to himself and creditable to his in? telligence and industry. In severing this connec? tion it has been with great reluctance, as it has ever been of the most cordial and friendly charac? ter. But other duties demand my attention, and in taking leave of the friends who have so cheer? fully supported and encouraged us, I would assuer them that whatever may be my destiny in life, 1 will cherish in grateful remembranco their many kindnesses, and feel a friendly interest in their welfare. To the members ofjhc press, my sincere thanks are due for the courtesy and ngard which have marked their bearing towards my connection with their fraternity. W. W. HUMPHREYS. It has been my fortune, on so many occasions, to appear before this community in a public manner, during the last nine years, that I deem it useless now to indulge in any lengthy asseverations as to my future course. My record as a journalist is before tho pnblic, and the success which may ut tend my efforts hereafter is committed to the tribu? nal of popular opinion. The present circumstances, however, afford me an opportunity of extending to my late partner a warm reciprocation of the sentiments he has so kindly uttered; and to assure him that, in his new and more pleasant field of labor, he has the sinccrcst wishes of my heart for his success and prosperity. Whether in the tented field or amid the blandishments of peace, our long and intimate connection has been perfect and harmonious, and the regret at its severance in this capacity is keen? ly felt by tho writer. As sole editor and proprietor of the Intelligencer, I beg leave to offer the " congratulations of the season " to patrons and readers generally, and pre? sent them with my respectful assurance of regard and good feeling. May each one be blessed with a "Happy New Year," and the consciousness that they are not indebted to this ollice. JAMES A. TIOYT. jjctkil |lottccs.
