the support of the poor of the place etc.
Being a temporary sojourner here, I
would like to say a few words ou. tho
In tho first place, to what use arc
the commons applied? Tjie "poor
nun's friend" claimed. I think, that
they afforded pasture for the stock of
those who were too poor to liiro it.
3Iow much do they furnish in a year?
About enough to support two cows and
a pig. Any one who will go and
look at their condition now, and then
sty they are ufany benefit to the poor
certainly lias not an over lot of good
Sense. A few cows that look like the
remains of a contraband camp hold
dispute with the filthy hogs for the few
Wades of grass that grow upon it. I
3iave been told, that, in the summer
at is beautifully decked with dog fen
nel, but that is not of much practical
Lcnefit. I learn that in the summer
it is also a resort i'or tlio stock of an
evening when arc seen exhibitions that
ought to take place somewhere else.
Will the editor tell how much benefit
the poor derive from this ground in the
course of a year ? How many pounds
of butter could be made from a cow
that pastured on it?
' Tho only use to which we have seen
it applied, is ns a play ground for the
boys and young men. This is nice,
you say ? Let any one who has not
been raised iu the ranks of the Demo

stream never stops its flow. It is a

to blush. If the parents will not keep
their boys away, tho officers of the
town should do it for them. No per

l'rom The World, May 21,
It was possible for Grant
after his failure ''to tight out on one
line" in his advance of 18G1 upon
Richmond, to lavish the lives of thous
ands of American soldiers and to ex-
nend thousands of dollars of the nn
iinn'rf treasure lmnn ft new ramnoi.rn !
and so finally wear and worry down
the strength of the rebellion which had
already been mortally wounded bv
Meade at Gettysburg.

From The World, April, II, ti;.
Gen, Grant's history should teach
us to discriminate better than wo
Americans are apt to do between glit
ter and solid work, ( )ur pronenass to
run utter demagogues and spoulers
may find a wholesome corrective in the
study of such a character as his. The
qualities by whie.i great things are ac
complished are ficro seen to have no
necessary connection showy and super
ficial aoenmplisliiiients. When the
mass of men look upon such a charac
ter, they may learn a truer respect for
themselves and each other ; they are
taught by it that high qualities and
great abilities are consistent with tho
simplioityof taste, contempt fir pa
rade, and plainne-s of manners with
which direct and earnest men have a
strong natural sympathy. Ulysses S.
Grant, the tanner, Ulysses S. Grunt,
the unsuccessful applicant for ton post
of City Surveyor of St, Louis, Ulysses
S. ( i rant, the driver into that cily of
his two-horse team with a load of wool
to sell, had within him every manly
quality which will cause the name of
Lieutenant-General Grant to live for
ever in history. His career is a lessou
in practical Democracy ; it is a quiet
satire on tho dandyism, tho puppyism,
and the shallow affectation of our
fashionable exquisites as well as upon
the swagger of our plau.sible, glib
tongued demagogues, not by any
means that great qualities nrc incon
sistent with cultivated manners and a
fluent elocution , but that such super
ficial neooinplisments are no measures
of worth or ability.
Gen, ( rant's last campaign sets the
final seal upon . his reputation. It
stamps him as the superior of his able
antagonist ns well as of all the com
manders who have served with or un
der him in the great campaigns of the
list year, it is not necessary to
sacrilieo any part ol well-earneil
reputations to his. Sherman and
Sheridan deserve all that has ever
been said in their praise ; but there has
never been a tiui ', since Grunt was
made Lieutenant-General, when any
body but Sherman, on our side, could
have been classed with him. Since
Sherman's bold march through Geor
gia, and his capture of S ivannah and
Charleston, tlx re have been many who
in their strong admiration ot Ins great
aehievments, inclined to rank him as
the sireater general of the two. That
judgment, we take it is now reverse 1
by tho court of final appeal ; not by,
dwarfing the reputation of Shcrm in
which suffers no just abatement, but
by the expansion into grander pro
portions of that ol Grant.
Grant stands preeminent among all
the generals who have led are armies
in the late war, in that he has exhibit
ed the utmost strength of will of which
the highest typo of manhood Is capable. ,
Tho delense of Vicksburg and the de
fense of lliehmond were both deemed
inpregnable, and were defended with
a proportional confidence and obstina
cy; but they both yielded, at last, to
Grant's matchless persistence and un
equaled strategy, And in both cases
he not only took the long-contested
positions, but compelled the surrender,
of the whole force defending them.
Nothing could he more eleam and
complete, even in imagination, than
Gen. Grant's masterly execution, lie
did not merely, in each case, acquire po
sition which was the key of a wide
theater of operations ; he did not mere
ly beat or disable the opposing f'oreo ;
he left no fragment ol'itiu existence
except as prisoners of war subject to.
his disposal.
If anybody is so obtuse or so wrong
headed as to see nothing great in Gen
eral Graut beyond his marvelous ten
acity of will, let that doubter explain,
if he can, how it has happened that
since Grant rose to high command,
this quality has always been exerted in
conspicuous energy precisely at the
point on which everything in his
whole sphere of operations hinged.
There has been no display of great
qualities on small occasions ; no ex
penditure of herculean effort to accom
plish objects not of the first magnitude.
It is only a very clear-sighted and a
very comprehensive mind that could
always thus 'have laid the whole em
phasis of an indomitable soul so pre
cisely on the emphatic place. How if
ho be not a: general of the first order
of intellect, as well as of the most, he
roic determination, doc3 it happen that
in assigning great an brilliant parts to
his subordinate commanders, ho has
never, when the results of his strategy
were fully unfolded, appeared in the
picture except as the central figuro ?
Ilowcvcr it may seem during the
progress of ono of his great combined
campaigns, it always turns out at last
when it reaches that completeness and
fiuish in which he contrives to have his
campaigns end, that we see him stand
ing in tho foreground, and that the'
glory of the other generals' instead of
eclipsing his own gives it additional
luster. It is this sureuess of jude-j
raent which sees precisely where lies

the turning point ; which see exactly
what iiro tho objects that justify the
utmost stretch of persistence; it is this
ability to take in the whole field of
view in just perspective and due
subordination of parts, that is tho mark
oFa suiierior mind. (ion. Grant has
- iilKu out m tlu! '"amis ot all critics ttie
question whether it belongs to llilll,
lie has won his greatest triumph over
tho most skillful and accomplished
General on the other side ; over n
General who foiled him longenoogh to
prove his great mastery of the art of
war ; and the completciies of whose de
feat is a testimony to Grant's genius
such as a victory over any other Gen
eral of the Confederacy, or earlier vic
tory over Lee himself, could not have
given. Apply to Gen. Giant what
test you will; ineiisure him by tho
magnitude of the obstacles he has sur
mounted, by the value of the positions
he has gained, by the fame of the an
tagonist over wlio'in lie has triumphed
by the achievements of his most illus
trious eo-workess, by the siireness with
which he directs his indomitable ener
gy to the vital point which is the key
of a vast field of operations, or by that
supreme testof consiininulcahility the
absolute completeness of his results,
and he vindicates liis claim to stand
next after Napoleon and Wellington,

ry, it' nut ou a level with tho latter

General Grant was born on the
27th of April, 1822, nt Point Pleasant,
Clermont county, Ohio. His father
was of Scotch descent and, by occupa
tion, a dealer iu leather. The son
entered the military academy at West
Point in his eighteenth year and grad
uated in 18 1;', standing twenly-lii'st iu
rank in a class of thirty-nine members.
Ho served for cleveif years in the army.

passing through every battle of the
Mexican war except two, and held the
rank of Captain at the date of his res

and a brother, nl Galena, ' I llinois, he
engaged in business as a leather dealer
until tho outbreak of rebellion in 1801.
A few days after Sumpter was fired
upon, ho was found drilling a company
of volunteers, nnd, a few days later,
led the company to the State capital.
An offer of his services to the authori
ties nt Washington not being heeded,
he tendered them to (Joy. Vatkh, of
his own State, and niter a few weeks
service in the organization of tho vol
unteer forces, accepted command of
the Twenty-first l!egimeiit, nnd pro
ceeded with it to Missouri. In Au
gust, 'i1, he was co'.nmisMone 1 by the:

his horse killed under him, and by his

liichiuond, the surrender of Lee's

well remembered by our readers to
require more than this brief mention.
The grateful acknowledgments of his
country were evidenced in liis further
promotion to tho newly created oflijc
of General, and, as tho Conimander-in
-'hiofof tho Federal armies, during
the three years of great civil anxiety
and danger which have succeeded, it
Ls not too much to say that the popular
confidence in his discretion, vigilance
and patriotic devotion to the cause of
the Union, have ever been the hope
and the consoling assurance of the land.
In tho many dark hours when official
treachery and a disloyal ambition have
cast a deep gloom upon patriotic hearts,
his presence at the head of our military
strength has afforded a cheering assu
rance of the ultimate safety of the
Republic. S'ot even the anxiety with
which the people watched the cam
paigns of '03, 'A and '5 could exceed
the deep intensity of trusting hope
with which their eyes have since stead

now charge him with a greater power
and higher responsibilities, and he will
inaugurate his last nnd crowning tri

Pubjio Unworthiness.

The peculiar demerit of the so-e ill

became a .law-defying, law-breaking

reproach that the revolutionary ac

did it encourage and buttress human
slavery until the foul institution was so

that it assumed to a overu the country
with nil abuol ute sway, and being curb

degree essayed to destroy by force of

arts of peace, and developing the re
sources of this noble country. Hut
contrary to this reasonable expectation
we, find rebellion again endeavoring to
raise its snaky head, and its northern
allies onuo inoro appealing to the bad
passions and violent impulses of the
more reckless among its partisans. As
if the combative propensities and h.-s-

words of .Iu Igo Woodward, not utter

hate, hut deliberately written down for
express publication, to use the army
nnd navv to "make nn end iif'imiie.ie!

Jy no means is this imprudent ut
terance of a man who by this tima
ought ha a statesman instead of a par
tisan an exceptional case, as all oir
readers are well aware. 1) "nocralie
editors nnd speakers continually in-
dulge in the menaces, and to tl
extent of their nbilitv prepare tho way
for future trouble. They openly ad
vocate nullification of the laws by the
President whenever he chooses to as
sume that these are unotistitutional ;
andas every other execution officer
who has sworn to support the Consti
tution might with equal show of right
refuse to enforce tho laws, it is needless
to portray the confusion and anarchy
which must inevitably follow. Vainly
do tho anarchs pleifll that former
Presidents havo also nullified legal
statute2. It was a grievous departure
from duty to have done so, and by no
means exonerates their successors who
venture to tread in tho same perilous
path.

not reckon upon our loyal soldiery to

of State sovereignty and the right of

ideas inimical to the right of man,
that they would readily endow the
President with absolute power if only
ho would aid them in frustrating the
extension of universal suffrage. They
continually urge the present incumbent
ot that high olhee to strike a blow lor
absolute despotism, and thus they keep
tho country in constant apprehension
of widespread canvulsion. Sfosftrully

In 185.5 ho was ro-noininalcil ,on tho
anti-Xebraska issue nnd elected by
two tho'i-iind majority, and assisted to
procure the election of Ranks to the
Speakership after a memorable contest
of sixty days. His speech oh the Kan
sas question at that session was eonsid
sidcred of such ability that half a
million copies were circulated in the
canvass of that year. From that date
to the present time, he has been success
fully elected by largo majorities. Mo

enjoyed tho confidence and admiration
of tho Republican party. In 1803 he
was first cho-icn to the Speakership,
and lias since retaile d that position,
acquiring a high reputation us a
prompt nnd shrewd chairman and a
skillful parliamentarian. Since yiat
time, as before, he has been most fiivor
ably known to his countrymen, mid
has secured the most implicit confidence
of the Republican party.

Says a Washington dispatch: The
Democratic nomination talk has recent
ly received new impetus. The Indiana
Copperhead, D. W. Voorhees, is open
ly advocating Mr. Chase's nominationi
He is nt work industriously' pushing
the matter. Within a day or two the
draft of u proposed DeiiKK-ratie plat
form has been submitted to both Chaso
and Andy Johnson, and receivcil ap
proval by both; tho former making a
few verbal alterations. It indulges in
some generalities about slavery ud ho
longer a living issue,' and in a vague
sort of a way indorses the. Watle Hamp
ton prctenso of equal franchise, based
on education and procrty for all
newly made citizens. Tlic rest of the
draft denounces the reconstruction
policy -of-. Congress, leans strongly
against protection, denounces high
taxation, and demands
universal am-
nesty.
