Lieut. Gen. Grant and staff, consist

Babcock, accompanied by Major Gen.
Wilson, were in our city on Thursday.
They reach hero on Thursday evening "
remained over at tho Central Hotel,
and loft on the State Road train yes
terday morning. The General travel*
in a very quiet manner, igooring
displays on every and all occasions.
As an illustration of the unpretending
character of this distinguished officer,
we will state that he ordered supper
at tho Vienna boarding house or P.
Staback Esq., on Prior street, tad
himself and staff passed part of tho
evening discussing the wines and euùh

While at Raleigh N. C., a few dijf

Grant was treated with distinguished
respeot by Gov. II olden , the mom,
bers of tbo Legislature and others. H«
spoke freely on the present posta» of
political affairs and listened attentive
ly to what others had to say on th«
subject.
He disclaimed any authority or de
sire to interfere, in any manner, with
the Legislature or civil Government
in the State, to the full and early res
toration of which he was desirous to
do all in his power.
lie said he thought that the eXfr
tcnce of parties of different opinion
was neccssary to a healthy condition
of the country, thought preservation
of the Union should always be the
paramount aim of all parties. Hn
said he had always avoided the ex*
treme of Copperheadism or Radicalism.
He belived the South would be riebet
tea years henco than before th« tor,
