Like Lincoln, hi early intellectual advan taget were of the most ordinary kind, but be was enabled to educate himself sufficient ly to enter the Military Academy at Wett Point, to which he waa fortunate in procu ring a codetshtp, though at the expense of bli name, Hiram Ulysses, which waa given him in infancy for the one which he has be come known all over the world. If the clerical blunder which inacribed him TJlyascs B. could not be erased from the records of the Academy, neither can that name be blotted from the scroll of honorable history, lie graduated la 1813, and was brevetted Second Lieutenant in the Fourth Infantry, lie served through the Mexican war, receiv ing brevets of First Lieutenant and Captain, for meritorious conduct at the battles of Molina del Bey and Chepullcpec, After tho war with Mexico he continued in the army for a few years, and while serving in Oregon, in 1853, was promoted to a cap tnncy. The next year be resigned, going into business at St. Louis, and iu 1859 be removed to Galena, III., where he was con ducting an extensive tannery when tho late war broke out. Captain Grant was among the first to offer his services to the govern ment, and was given command of a regi ment by the Governor of Illinois, with which be went into active service in Mis souri. It was not long until ho was appoint ed a Brigadier General of Volunteers (Au gust, 1861), and assigned to the command of the District of Cairo. The unfortunate battle of Bull Run and the varying fortunes in the Southwest, had a depressing effect upon the country, aud the people were willing to take a leader on trust if he would only come heralded with a victory, however insignificant. Rich Moun tain gave McClellun command of the armies of the United States ; the unfortunate ex pedition to Belmont doomed Grsnt to com parative obscurity at Cairo, until near the close of tho first year of the war. Then the brilliant victories of Fort Donclson and Pittsburg Landing, the first of any signifi cance gained by a Union army, could do but little for him, and while the former made him a Major General, the Utter deprived him of a command. All eyes were turned to ward the Qrand Army of tho Potomac, ia anticipation of the great things it would ac complish when its leader cuoso to move upon Lee at Manassns; and decisive actions upon the Cumberland and the Tennessee were not considered, while people were amused with promises never to be realized, and kept in constant expectation by assu rances that all was quiet along lines a little nearer home. It were useless to attompt a description of these actions now, but when Grant com pleted a victory that bad begun as a defeat, by leading in person a charge of six regi ments, he showed that a General might pro niifte little and yet accomplish much. Soon after he bad worsted the ablest Rebel leader in the South, who was killod in that fierce engagement at Sliiloh Church, Llalleck as sumed command in the Southwest, and the victor was rewarded for his two successes by subsequent neglect until September, 1863. Iio waa then appointed to the command of the Army of West Tennessee, his force con stituting the Thirteenth Army Corps, and fixed his headquarters at Jackson, in that State. In the meantime MtClellan had been driven from before Richmond. Pope bad been defeated at the second battle of Bull Run, and an uncertain victory at Antietam bad closed the career of a Geueral who was called to the head of the army ia the fervor of popular enthusiasm, end had been re stored to command ia a moment of popular despair. During the dark and terrible winter that followed, the Army of the Potomac, under its successive commanders, lay on tho banks of the Rappahannock, and fought the ill fated battles of Fredericksburg and Chan cellorsvilie, while Grant and Sherman were quietly working out their plans on the Mis sissippi and the Yazoo'. When Lee moved northward, in the spring and summer of 1863, and Meade was enabled to gain his great victory afGettysburg, the capitulation of Pemberton added Vioksburg to Gettys burg in the associations connected with the ever-glorious Fourth of July. In detailing the appointments of Major-Generals which had been made in the regular army, Grant once modestly said : "After the capitula tion of Vicktburg I was added," as if him self unconscious of the importance of an event that had given the army a leader who conquered a peace for the country, and makes him to day the candidate of the great Republican party for President, an office which he would not desire were not the people intent on giving him this last mark of their confidence and esteem. One who was within the Rebel Hues du ring the invasion of Pennsylvania ia 18G3, was told by an arrogant Southerner, whose deserted home was near the spot where Grant's army lay, 'that the dark and fetid waters of the Yazoo would destroy bis men, even if there were bo intrenched enemy in front to pick them off in detail. But the same flash of the lightning that brought the news of Meade's victory at Gettysburg brought wotd of Pembertoa's defeat at VickBburg. As a reward for this victory, Grant, in his own modest words, was added to the Major-Genorals already appointed for the regular army, but unlike the time when he was commissioned a Major-General of Volunteers, no fortune now could doom him to inactivity. Before he was ordered to as sume command at Chattanooga, after the unfortunate battle of Chickamauga, Presi dent Lincoln wrote him a characteristic let ter. It waa dated July 13, 1863, and was at follows: "Jfy Dear Oonral:-lio not remember that you and I ever met personally. I write this now at a grateful acknowledgment for the almost inestimable service you bate done the country. I wish to ssv a word further. When you first reached the vicini ty of Vicktburg, I thought you should do what you finally did march the troops across the neck, ruo the batteries with the transport, and tbut go below, and I never bad any faith, except a general hope that you know better than I, that tba Yazoo ex pedition and the like could sucoeed. When you got below and took Port Gibson, Grand Gulf and vicinity, I thought yon should go down tb river and join General Banks ; and when yoa turned northward, east of the Big Black, I thought it waa a mistake, I now wish to mak tb personal acknowl edgment tbst yoa wrt right and X wai wrong." A victory which could call forth tuch a letter as this from President Lincoln would produce in tho mind of the Executive the most nnbounded confidence in the capacity of the commander by whom it was gained. It is gratifying that that confidence was never betrayed end never disappointed. He first justified tho President's faith, soon after he assumed the chief command la Ten nessee, by the brilliant victory at Lookout Mountalo, driving tbo Rebel General Bragg from the Chattanooga Valley and Mission Ridge, and opened up the way for Sher man is great march to tho sea. Then the National House of Representative passed a unanimous Tote of thanks to General. Grant for his victories, and ordered a medal to bo struck In bis honor, whilo both Houses of Congress concurred in the passage of an act reviving the grade of Lieutenant General, a rank never held by any one except Wash ington, aud Grant was recommended for the post, It being prescribed that tho Lieutenant Gencral should have command of the ar mies. President Lincoln formally presented him with his commission March 9, 1864, and having opened up the path to the final vic tory ia the Southwest, he at once proceeded to pave the way to success in the Southeast. The Qrand Army of the Potomac, smart ing tinder its many misfortunes, notwith standing the bright spot of Gettysburg upon its banuers, and its imperishable record for heroism, needed the prestige of Gen. Grant to give it confidence in itself. Those noble veterans felt that success was assured when they found hint willing to join his great famo with theirs, and to link his destinies with their fortune. He received his com mission from the hands of the President I with but few words, and without indicating his purpose, left the Executive presence to begin his advance upon Richmond. The Rapidan was crossed, and Lee fought in the terrible battle of the Wilderness ; then he ' advanced to the North Anna river, and ! making a flank movement upon Cold Har bor, fought another fongtiinury battle, the assault upon the Rebel works at that place ; and then twinging around the trenched j lines of the enemy, he crossed the James aud , invested Petersburg. I Desperate engagements followed, and du ring the investment, he mined and blew up ! Fort Hell, a Rebel stronghold, with the view of taking the town by assault ; but the operation failed, with severe punishment on our side and heavy tosses to the euemy. This, together with the desperate straits to which j Leo was reduced, emboldened him to take the offensive, and on toe night ot tue 27 tu of March, 1865, he moved three divisions of his troops before Fort Stcadman, and sur prised and captured the position. Before night it had bcou retaken, and at the same time the battle of Hatcher's Run was fought. continuing until evening. On the 2d of April the Rebel Intrenchments, with 6,000 men, at Big Five Forks, were captured, and an attack was ordered along the whole line, under General Grant's direction, which end ed in driving Lee from his works and the abandonment of Richmond. Lre's retreat was cut off by the rapid movements which Grant instituted, and on the Sth of April, just ono week after the last great battle, tho Army of Northern Virginia capitulated. Soon after the Rebel General Johnston sur- ! rendered to General Sherman on the same terms granted by General Grant to Lec, and tbo great civil war was stided. If General Grant was appointed to the command of the armies wuu a rank ncvaxj held ly any one before except Washingtoij a greater honor if possible waa la store for bim. He is now simply General of the Uni ted States Army, and soon be will be Presi dent of the United States. TDK HON. SCnrTLErt COLFAX. Schuyler Colfax, tho popular candidate of the National Union Republican party for the office of Vice President, is a native of New York city. He waa bora in N. Moore street, March 23, 1823, bis father having died but a short time previous. With but limited means, his widowed mother could afford to keep him at school but a short time, and at the age of ten be was placed in a mercantile establishment where he re mained for three years, contributing ma terially from his small salary to the support of both himself and mother. In 1836, he and his mothor, ia company with others, left their home ia that city and settled ia St. Joseph county, Indiana, Shortly after his arrival la the West, he was appointed Deputy County Auditor for St. Joseph county, and employed hi leisure hours in tbe study of State law, in which be is said soon to have become an acknowledged expounder. Ho read law pretty thoroughly during these leisure hours, but not with a view to adopting it as a profession. He had but little idea of what great beuefitthe informa tion he was then gaining would prove to bim in after years. In 1815 he started a week ly journal at South Bend, the county seat of St. Joseph county, called lh St. Joseph Valley IUguUr, becoming its sole proprietor and editor. A writer in Tha Indianapolis Journal correct a mistake into which tbe public bat fallen relative to Mr. Colfax's connection with tbe printing business. Mr. Lanman, in his Dictionary ofCongress, says : "He was bred a printer." He never was apprenticed to the printing business, and knew nothing of tbe practical part of the "Art preservative of all arts" until after be bad commenced the publication of Tho Jit aitter. With bis ready tact and quick per ception, however, and great anxiety to econ omise, for bis mean were yet very limited, be soon mastered the art sufficiently to "help out of the drag," but be never attained to any great proficiency in tbe business, bis editorial labors, tbe business of the office, and other duties soon claiming bit entire attention. 1'ho EogUtor prospered, and toon became a aource of profit to th proprietor. It.wa ably edited, and was a model of courtesy and dignity. Every paragraph, however (mail, seemed to have passed under tb su pervision of and to reflect th mind and ele vated thought, of it editor. He continued Disconnection with this paper until thro or four year ago, writing a regular weekly letter for it column during his first two term ia Congress. It was during th early day of Tl liegitter that Mr. Colfax was laying th loundation for th reputation be baa sine attained as a debater. A debating club was formed, which bold regular week ly meetings during th winUr season, ant it was isx occurrence indeed to fiod Mr. Colfax absent from on of the stated gatherings. Politics, tb Umperanc reform, and other subject war often aa ably deba tad in this society as kindred question ar lo many deliberative bodies of much greater pretension of th present day. Tb Hon, John D. Defrse, now Superintendent of Go vernment Printing, and lor many years edi tor and proprietor of tb Indianapolis Jour- rs!, to which Mr. Colftt was alio attached as ScnateQeporter for some time after he commenced the publication of the Heguter, was also a participant ia these debates. They were both Whigs, both ardent and sincere advocate of, and believer in th temperance reform, and were consequently seldom pitted against each other in these debates. The attachment formed at this early day between those gentlemen still con tinues with unabated fervor. In 1848, Mr. Colfax was chosen as a delegate, and elected as Secretary of tho Convention which comi nated General Taylor for tho Presidency. In 1850 be represented St Joseph county in the Convention which framed tho present Constitution of Indiana. In this Conven tion be opposed, with all his ability, the adoption of tbe clause prohibiting free color ed men from settling in the State. His op position to this measure was tho cause of his defeat the following year, when nomi nated for Congress, In opposition to Dr. Fitch. But, with all the ability, tact, and shrewdness of this old political wiro-worker, he only distanced his young competitor two hundred votes, in a district which bad been strongly Democratic for years. In 1853 be was again a delegate to tho Whig National Convention. He took an active part in the campaign which followed, speaking often and writing much. In 1854, when the "great deep" of Indiana Democra cy was broken up, and tho old Hunkers laid in a grave from which it is hoped they may never be resurrected, be was rc-nomiua-ted and elected to Congress, and was subse quently more active than ever before. His experience as a debater, and familiarity with State and national politics, rendered him an overmatch for his opponents, whom be was always anxious to meet in an open and fair discussion before the people, where he was always certain of a victory. In 185S be was again nominated for Congress, and ro elect ed by a handsome innjority. His entrance into Congress was la tho midst of the great struggle over the Locompton swindle A writer says of his maiden speech ia the House, "His first speech in Congress went forth to repel the tide of terror which was sweeping ovor struggling Kansas, and clear ly showed that even then he was one of the best debaters in the Lower House." Over five huudrcd thousand copies of this speech were printed aud circulated a compliment Cerhaps never before rccoived by any mem er of Congress. He was first chosen Speaker of the Thirty eighth Congress by a vote of 101 to 814 He hat been thrice elected to the same position, each time by an increased majority. He was appointed Chairman of tho Committee on Post OtDces and Post Roads on the or ganization of tho Thirty-soveuth Congress, and did much to extend mail facilities throughout tho West. He was one of the first advocates, and is still one of the warm est fr'.ends of the Pacific Railroad. Indeed, be takes a warm interest in any movement looking to the development of tho bound less resources of the great West It wss, doubtless, tho interest he feels in this sec tion of tlto country which .induced bim to take his celebrated trip "across tho Conti nent." His trip was a perilous one, but his welcome at "tho other end of tbo lino" was so spontaneous, truly genuine and heartfelt, that it more than repaid bim for all the dangers and hardships ho passed through. This trip prepared bim for one of tho most entertaining lectures ever delivered in this country. It has been listened to w ith wrapt attention by the people of almost every city in the North. Pecuniarily, how-, ever, it has profited bim but little, for with that liberality which has ever been a mark ed trait in bis character, the eutiro proceeds of a lecture have as ofteu been donated to aomo charitablo object as they have found their way iuto bis own pocket. He has now served in succession fourteen years in the House. He was urged, but he declined, to accept a seat in tho United States Senate, preferring his presiding chair in the House. As a presiding officer,r)e is the most popu lar the House has bad since Henry Clay. A writer in Putnam Slagttiin truly observes that Mr. Colfax "has no eccentricities, but great tact. His talents are administrative aud executivo, rather than deliberative He would make good appointments and adopt sure policies. He would make a better Pre sident, or Speaker of the House, thau Sena tor. He know men well, estimates them correctly, treats them all fairly and candidly. No man will get through bis business with you lo fewer minutes, aud yet none is more free from tbe horrid bmsquenew of busy men. There are heart aud kindness iu Mr. Colfax's politouess. Men leave his presence with tho impression that be is at once an able, honest aud kind man. Political oppo nents like him personally, as well as his po litical friends. We have never beard that he has any enemies. The breath of slander has been silent towards bis fair, spotless fame. Tbo wifo of his youth, after being for a long timo an invalid, tank to flual est several years ago, leaving bim childless. His mother and sitter preside at hi recep tions, which, for many years, have been, not the most brilliant, but the most popular of any given at the capital. Socially, Mr. Colfax it frank, lively, jolly. It may be that be fcelt bis oat in loute degree, but dignity hasn't spoiled bim. The everlasting I hood and Ut nest of great men I forgotten in bis presence." His manners aro not quite so familiar as those of Mr. Lincoln, but nearly so. They are gentle, natural, graceful, with a bird like or business lik quickness of thought and motion. But they are very far from tbe high and mighty style of Saraner, or the judicial coldness of Fessenden, Sherman and Trumbull. Though manly, they are genial and winning. American mothers believe in Schuyler Colfax. There are more babies named for bim than for any public man since Mr. City. Tbo intimacy and confidential relation of Mr. Colfax with Mr. Lincoln are well known. They labored band in band at brother in the causa of tb6 Union, holding frequent and protracted interview on all subject looking to tbe overthrow of the Rebellion, for there were no divisions be tween tbe executive and legislative branches of the government then as there ar now. During th darkest hour of that bloody drama which shall vr remain a reproach upon tb people of one section, of th na tion, tbay wrs ever cheerful and hopeful. Confident in the justness of tb war waged for the preservation of tbe Union, and pla cing a Christian relianc in that provideno which guide and shapes ths destiny of ca tion, great reverse, which caused other to fear and tremble, at timet almost to despair, seemed only to inspire them with great seal and a firmer belief la th ultimate triumph of our cause.

He possesses great vitality, and can endure an extraordiusry amount of labor with but little fatigue. This, coupled with bit temperate habits, baa caused him to wear hi age to well that but few persons would place him even at 40. II i yet in the prime and vigor of manhood, with all hi care and responsibilities, as most people at 80. MISCELLANEOUS RAKT'irmEss roitur. ice. We Lav said that it is only in cases where great merits of a peculiar kind exist, or where statesmanship and soldierly science are combined in the same person, that the nation seem to take delight in honoring it military chieftaioa. A large class of Democratic journala deny that Grant ha these peculiar merits, and it is the duty of tha Republican press to meet the iisue at once. In the beginning we must call atten tion to tbe fact that while these Journals hasten to accuse Grant of unfitness for the management of civil government, they at tho same timo underrate his military genius, so that tho burden of proof applios to that point as well as to his civil capacity. We ask candid men, who intend to vote independently in the ensuing election, to ponder over thit. What weight ought to be attachod to a denial of Grant'a civil capacity, when made by parties who ridi cule bis abilities a a general t If we should not notice tbo assault upon his mental endowments for administration at all, this fact that the depreciation comes fiom those who bold him inferior as a general to any other of our great heroes, ought to be suf ficient to induce patriotic citizens to disre gard all such partisan sneers, and to rep pec t and trust the object of them. We do not claim for Grsnt any more credit than is justly his duo, and when men choose rather to dwell upon the achievements of Sherman and others, we humbly suggest what is the indisputable fact, that Sherman, McPher son, Wilson and Sheridan wote tho subordi nates of Grant, and acted by hit orders. In the case of a general like George U. Thomas, who won so brilliant a victory at Miil Spring before be came under tbe order of Rosecrans, Sherman or Graut, no one can question that tho merit of bis two great victories belongs to himself. But until Graut got them under bis command, no ono heard of any brilliant achievements of Sher man, Sheridan, Mcpherson or Wilson. Tho same malicious detraction that at tempts lo take away tbe credit of Grant's campaigns triad to give McPhcrson the praise for planning Sherman's. Yet it was after McPhcrson's death that Sherman exe cuted bis march to fbe sea and bis cam paign though the Carolina. As regards Sherman's abilities, his campaign against VickBburg was a miserable failure, and bis great reconuoissauce through Mississippi aud Alabama from tbo river eastward re sulted ia nothing at all. Grant, ia fact, trained up these great commundcrs, and they learned the art of war under his direc tion. He found Chattanooga beleaguered by a victorious euemy, and be relieved both it and Knoxville so effectually that tho rebels never returned upon them again. He planned the campaign through Georgia, and directed it as long as telegraphic communi cations were kept up. It is said that Grant's final campaign was only successful inclosing the war because of the great work that had been previously done, which it true enough. But who did that groat work ? Hi battlo of Belmont broke up a whole rebel plan of campaign in southeastern Missouri, and con fined their operations to .the Mississippi river. His campaign of Donelson freed Kentucky and Tennessee, and relieved the Mississippi from Cairo to Memphis. His campaign of Vicksburg opened the great valley and cut tbe rebellion in twain, and his csmpaign of Chattanooga relieved East Tennessee and drove the war into Georgia. It may be convenient now for Democratio politicians to forget these things, but his tory will not So much for bit military science. As to bis administrative capacity, we submit that no great commander who has wielded, as ho bas, tbe entire management of an atmy of a million of men, over a field covering tho whole south, could bs devoid of that faculty. The chief command of tuch a force requires fur itt successful conduct this very admin istrative capacity of which so much is suid. That is pait of the essential elements of military success. During tha war wo were constantly confronted by this consideration when selecting men to command reginieuts, tbe objection to great numbers of candidates being that they bad no administrative capa city. The health, discipline, harmony, cleanliness, clothing, arms, food, munitious of war, tactics, courage and good oonduct of the regiraout rest with its colonel. Huw much more onerous, then, must be the duties of the chiof commander, who in ad dition to these has to plau campaigns, maintain communications, supervise every department, obtain information of the ene my' movements, provide transportation, aud do a thousand other indispensable things. It was the experience gathered in their campaigut that made great civil adminis trators of Wasbiugtou and Jackson. During the time that Grant acted as Secretary of War ad interim, by dircotion of President Johnson, the department wa admirably managed. Johnson, without intending it, furnished Grant with an opportunity of pro ving his ability to manage bil affair that had previously been entrusted ouly to states men. In that brief period Grant saved million of dollar to the government by hi economical reduction, and thus be demon strated hi detir to avoid a military government, and to bring everything down to the old peace standard. Gint stood by Pope, Sheridan, and all bis other subordinates entrusted at tbe south with reconstruction under tbe law of Con gress, and earnestly remonstrsted against their removal. His military experience taught bim how perilou It always wa to change front in th fac of th enemy. Johnwn, a ignorant of statesmanship a of military science, knew nothing of this. H removed tha commanders, snd ths reaction grew. Again, in Johnson's desperate effort to got possession of tb War Department, be pur posely placed Grant in a very awkward predicament, so a to compel him sithsr to beooms tbe instrument of thwarting Con grew or to disobey tb President, his superior officer. Ths result proved that Grant waa completely master of tb situation. H adapted tniilitarv strategy to tbs occa sion, and defeated tha iniquitous intention of tbs prsaidantla! nutlifler. Johnson ha triad all tort of trick and sxpedient to gtt th btUtf of Ortut, ial tU bv Isiltd. Other general of the civil war have proved more pliable. They bat U-an willing enough to d.i all that Juhueon ooiuniaudMd. whether to disobry tliej lawa or out. But Grant distinctly informed the President br letter that be nicaut to obey tbs law uu dor all ciroutnsunocs, and would not be in strumental is auy scbauie of usurpation or of lawless defiance of th authority. Wo think this make nut our case. It show ex. actly tbo peculiar merits the people da mand when they elevate a military hero in the Presidency of the republic. We bad these thing in our mind when w wrote - -Philadelphia Ninth American and United Statt Gazette. When tbe Impeachment question waa ponding in Congress, tbe Ntw York H'cir.V, (Copperhead,) proposed tb following vil lainous plan to defeat Impeachment : There are fourteen Radioal Senators whoaa terma of office expire in 18iit Bojond that time they ara sure of no political position ; to far as they kuow now, they are certain of do "paring pi noes " Burs ty as many aa eight nf these moo would rather ba sure of a suillioa eaoh In hand than to wait f ir tba uncertainty of a $5,000 oflloe by and by.

If the weather is warm keep him there several hour. Then remove him and rub his legs to promote circulation. If still lumo repeat the process two or three times and a cure will be effected In the wiuter twenty minute will be long enough to keep the horse in th water, when ho should be taken out and rubbed as in the other case repeating the operation if necessary.
