-At the-time when the enemy was
forminihis divisions for the charge,
General Grant was standing on the
skirts of the pine - grove referred to,
leaning !with one hand on a sapling,
smoking a, cigar, and surveying the
sirrounding country: • The move:
of the rebel commander did not'es

it he removed his cigar, and, gazing
for a moment toward the woods on
Ida Agist, turned 'and' beckoned a ,

The•
one. writer of this was sitting
within al,few feet of the General at
the tinse,;, and was intently watching
him,. and ' wondering whether, 'under
the •
leadershir„of that plain, unas
suming little man, the army of the
Potomaa was destined to better luck
than under its former unfortunate
commanders. Under the latter its
history had been but a series of- re
verries4f long, weary marches over
the, burtheg sands and through-the
dreary pine woods of Virginia, and
quick-time tramps over the-hills of
Maryland and Pennsylvania; of
bloody and desperate encounters
with the [enemy, more or less succeS
ful, it is /true, but not sufficient to
materially injure his mora/e. I re
vert to the circumstance of my dis
trusting that same unassuming little_
man with a smile when I remember
how sooni afterward ho convinced the
world of his superior generalship.
The hurried manner of the aide as
he left the General's 'side attracted
the attention of the large group of
officers near byeand in a moment
a score of glasses were levelled in
the direction their chief was gazing.
Simultaneously several sprang isp.
and appreading the General 'called
his attention to •the suspicious move
ments oil the canny. Without re
moving his eyes, he replied calmly :
"I have i been watching them ,for,
some time • they are preparing for a
charge on le second corps' line."—
By this time Meade was at his side,
pale„ neivone;_ and apparently maxi
mil; to bei in the saddle at once ; but
a few w•:srds from Grant, in di low
tone, a' stile lit up the grim warrior's
face, and [all signs of anxiety vanish
ed. Together they stood; observing
the en my's ," movements ,_ until the
rebel 1 nes crossed the open space
refer to,. Grant smiling with a
kind of i xuberant satisfaction as
re k
they disappeared in the 'woods. In
thirty amends after the jungle rang
with the rebel yell (the same as that
heard 'at the New York Convention)
and a' continuous peal of musketry,
and thed commenced one of the
fiercest hand-to-hand encounters dur
ing the war,: lasting for nearly half
an hour. i The result history has told.
Rancor:Os men, weary from hard.
fighting On the day previous, were
scarcely prepared for such , a desper
ate assault, and after a' terrible strag
gle gave limy, leaving - the , enemy in
full possession of the cross-roads.—
They were taken at il dear price,
.however,las the enemy lost five to

directly in front of our works.
Meanwhile, by General Grant's or
der trooPs had been rapidly trans

The ineffablyl. weak attempt of. the

the contempt of any sensible min,
especially of a soldier. It is the; t
tempt of 'a leading Democratic organ
to glorify their friends, the. rebels,

falsehoods whic are 'too transparent

fought that the Union might live can

of the Wilderness was but 98,019, as
shown by officia reports, :instead of
200,000, as, presented by 'this

remembered tha %twice or thrice the

Those who think the best interest of

by - Vallandinghata, Pendleton and
Blair, will naturally and rightfully
vote the, democratic ticket. It will
secure their objects. 41 But let no one
else, support that ticket under the

control the administration. He is a

Tnts Doss rt.—Time has a, wonder-
ful power in taking the conceit out of
persons.. When a young man first
emerges from the - schools and enters
upon the career of life, it is painfully
amusing to witness his self-suffitiency
—he would have all the world under
stand that he has "learned ont."—that
he is - master of all knotiledge, and
can unravel all Mysteries.' But as .
he grows older, he grows (wiser, he
learns ;that-he:knows a great deal
less than he supposed ke.did,_ and by
the time ho . reaches to three score
years. he is prepared to . adopt as his
own the sentiment of 'John - Wesley :
"Whenl was young I was sere of
everything ,-' in a few years, having
been mistaken a thousand times, I
was not half so sure of Most things
as I was before. At present lam
hardly sure of anything but what God -
has_ revealed to man.
