- GEN GRANT-THE NEXT BATTLE-What
ever may be thought said of Gen Grant in
being surprised. his bravery and galantry on the
battle field can never be questioned. Mounted
on his noble, cream colored steed, he was ever in
the thckest of the fight where ball and shot and
she'll flew thick and fast, giving words of cheer
to the men, and ordering regiments and divisions
where most needed
And now our friends at home, having once
more breathed freely after this terrible conflict,
are anxiously looking and inquirng where will be
the next bloody field. | only say that, from
my observation the day and the place are not far
distant. Already the line of the contending forces
are rapidly nearing Pea Ridge or Corinth will,
in all probability, be the place. The rebels are
now cut oil from the east by Gen. Mitchell; nei-
Their Memphis nor New Orleans can spare their
troops, and their fortunes will doubtless be deci-
ded by the coming battle: hence the necessity of
our engaging them with force that no power
they have can resist. ROut them. and the way
to Mobile, New Orleans and Memphis is open no
opposition to either place will he met; the Mis-
sissipp viii be free, and the rebellion swept from
the mighty valley it has SO long blighted and
cursed Though the approaching hour is big
with peril. yet my faith in the justice OF our
cause. aud the valor and triumph of our army
flags not nor fails, but borne up and onward will,
within brief period, find full and perfect reali-
zation.-Corres LAT Com
