The bill was discussed by Messrs. Armstrong and Brannon until the hour of 3 o'clock arrived, when, on motion of Mr. Quesenberry, the S

pon him as a man that should be honored for the faithful performance of his duty. Some of us called upon him immediately upon his arrival, and it is probable he would not meet the Secretary with more courtesy than he met us. His conduct and deportment toward us characterized him as a friend and a gentleman. We have confidence in General Sherman, and think that what concerns us could not be under better hands. This is our opinion now from the short acquaintance and interest we have had. (Mr. Lynch states that, with his limited acquaintance with General Sherman, he is unwilling to express an opinion.
