CUTB OLD LADY.-The Rev. Mr.. French,
who has recently been engaged in mission
sry work among the contrabands at Fortress
Monroe, relates the following:
On passing an old woman returning from
camp, with large bag of clothes on her
head, and her arms heavily laden with wood,
we said: Hard times for poor coloFed folks,
when. kind masters have run away from
them"
her face lighting up, she replied: "Oh
no, indeed, these be good times, bress de
Lord; we praying for such times meny
years"
"You can not support yourselves, can
your"
"Ohl yes; if we could support ourselves
and masters too, guess we could support
ourselves, if we had chance"

Sketch of General Grant.

Brigadier General Ulysses s. Grant wa!
born at Point Pleasant, Clermont County
Ohio, April "a, 1892, and entered West Point
Military Academy, from Ohio, in 1885, where
he graduated with honors in l943, and was
attached as brevet Second Lieutenant to the
Fourth Infantry. He was promoted First
Lieutenant at Corpus Christi, in September,
lS45, and served as such through Mexico,
under General Taylor at Palo Alto, Resaca
de la Palma and Monterey, and under Gen.
Scott from Vera Cruz 10 the city of Mexico,
and was twice promoted for his bravery. He
was regimental qusrtermaster from April ],
ls47, and when he resigned the service on
the 3lst Of July, 1854, he was fall Captain
in the Fourth Infantry of Regulars. After
his resignation he settled in st. Louis Co lnty,
Missouri, and moved from there to Ga
lena, Illinois, in 1860 Upon the break
ing out of the present war he offered
his services to Governor Yates and was
appointed Colonel of the Twenty-frst Regi- |
ment of Illinois Volunteers, and served
with his regiment until promoted to a
Brigadier General, with commission and
rum lIOm tuo 1dLu VI DldyI 1oOl' ne was
engaged as Colonel and acting Brigadier- |
General in several of the contests in South |
eastern Missouri; and his course as COM
mander of the Southeast district of Missouri
has been thoroughly scrutinized, aud among
his most praiseworthy acts was the occupa-
ton of Paducah and stoppage of communica-
tion and supplies to the rebels by way of the
Tennessee and Cumberland rivers. The
manner in which he conducted the battle of
Belmont is still fresh in the minds of our
readers. The rest of his course as commander
there is too we'll known to be repeated here,
and certain it is that his action in every in.
stance, has been applauded both by his su-
perior officers and the people. After the
capture of Fort Henry new district was
created, under the denomination of the Dis
trict of West Tennessee, and General Grant
was assigned by General Halleck to the
command Of it.

WHO ORIGINATED THE CHARGES AGAINST
GEN. SToNH.-The Washington Star states
that General Mcclellan is the mover in Gen.
eral Stones arrest. 1t says;
We have satisfied ourself that the charges
against General Stone do not emanate from
or come through Congressional Committee,
but are the result of the convictions of Gen.
eral Mcclellan, after a careful survey of all
the facts involved that it is due equally to
the public interest and the accused himself
that the various accusations against him
should be formally investigated by court
mari ial.

AN UaLY CUsToMER-"Don't put on no
eTtrds."-A wager was made few days
since on board steamboat, between couple
of jokers, one Of whom, pointing to an ex-
tremely ugly man, bet bottle of wine that
an uglier customer could not be produced.
The other, who had seen one of the firemen
as he had passed on board the boat-a man
whose face was screwed out Of all shape-at
once took up the bet and started down stairs
for his man. The Joker had an impediment
in his speech, but he nevertheless soon made
known his business to the fireman, and obs
tanned his consent to show himself to dec de
the wager. When inside the social hall the
ugly man, whose nose was on one side of his
face and his eyes on the other, began to
screw and work them about, to give his face
greater degree of ugliness. "S.s-top," said
his baoker; don't put on n-n.no extras.
St-st-and Jest as the Lord m lde you-you
can't be bestp The other acknowledged
that he had lost and paid the wager.

TreaSuFy-NOtes.

Regarding Treasury .notes, the Boston
Transcript makes a good point, as follows;
Every person knows that these demand-
notes, or Government promises are in every
respect as good as the many millions of Sc
curities which have already been issued, and
are now constituting large part of the loan
Of all the banks in the loyal States. If the
Government fails TO meet its promises, OF
course the banks will be under the necessity
OF following It's example, and ruin most dis.
astrous will be sure to come upon the people.
Hence the necessity Of all uniting in suStain-
ing the Government issues, whether they be
in demandSnotes or twenty years-loan. We
have no fears as to the ultimate result. The
country is young and vigorous, with stores
of wealth within its borders far exceeding
any nation on the face Of the globe, and the
people are a working, active and determined
race, ready and willing 10 make any sacrifice
for the salvation Of the country.
There is more in those few sentences than
in fifty columns Of such stuff as makes up
the staple of nine-tenths Of the speeches
which are parsded in the Congregational Globe.

Abe Fight Mt Nashville Looked For.

The rebel officers taken prisoners at Fort
Donelson say that the rebels will concentrate
all their available forces at Nashville, and
will make a desperate stand and fight there
There are centainly enough Union troops
now in and on their way to Tennessee to
overcome any rebel force that may be con-
centrated at Nashville. We may look for a
bloody and desperate fight, however, and
that within a short time.

We have in our possession a gun captured
at Fort Henry. 1t is entirely different from
any thing we have yet seen, with barrel
fully four and a half feet long and an inch
bore. The piece has no lock, and was proba-
bly, carried by the secesh for the purpose of
frightening the Yankees. A number of ex-
cellent double-barreled shot guns are in the
city, having been purchased by the visitors
to Fort Henry at prices from So to 81 each.
The soldiers are driving brisk trade in the
captured trophies taken in the rebel camp.

The publisher, j. B. Gilmore, Boston, has
furnished US the March number of the Con-
tinentaI. This new candidate for public
favor has been received in a variety of ways;
some have praised it highly, while others
condemn it in strong terms. We have found
its contents interesting, some of the articles
being of high literary merit. We are not
aware that it is for sale in this city.

We notice that some members of the Leg
islature, whose chief motive for seeking a
place in that body appears to be ''pay and
prevent" are busy in devising an excuse
for an extra session--when no extra ses-
sion is needed, and If needed it can be
called by the Governor when the exi
gency to make it necessary arises The tax
payers expect the members to do up the busi-
ness before them, to do it right, and adjourn
without DELAY.

THE Vermont troops in the army of the
Potomac are to be envied by all their fellow
soldiers. Their State has opened bank
account with each one of them, and regu-
larly passes to his credit 81 month. This
sum may be checked for by the volunteer,
if he is a single man. If married, it is paid
to his family. If permitted to remain un-
drawn by the State Treasury for six months,
the rate of six per cent. is allowed on it.
