The special correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes from Washington:
The administration is in daily receipt of correspondence from leading men of the South, giving assurance that the great body of the Southern people are determined to organize under the reconstruction laws recently passed, and that the only disturbing elements in the South are the imported politicians from the North, who are making every effort to bring about discord between the white and colored people.
A letter just received from a prominent citizen of the North, now making a tour of the South, is particularly instructive in this regard. The writer says that the only turbulent spirits are Northern men, who appear to be in the interests of the radicals of the East. He declares that the removal of civil officers by Gen. Sheridan is considered unfortunate; that Judge Abell has ever been an uncompromising Union man; that Heth, his successor, was one of Butler's spies, and in fine, that none of Gen. Sheridan's appointments can command the least respect. The writer, in conclusion, says:
"Gen. Sheridan is daily becoming more unpopular, but the people will submit to his rule."
