GEN GRANT ON THE SLAVERY CUES
rIoN.-Senator Wilson, in a speech be-
fore the American Anti-Slavery Society
at their third decade anniversary in Phil
adelphia, the other day, quoted the fol-
lowing extract from letter written by
General Grant: 81 have never been an
anti-slavery man, but try to judge just
ly of what see. l made up my mind
when this war opened that the North and
South could only live together in peace,
as one nation, by being free nation.
Slavery, which constituted the corner
stone of the so-called Confederacy, is
knocked out, and it will take more men
in future to hold the black race as slaves
than to put down the rebellion. Much
as desire peace, ] am opposed to it un'
til this question of slavery is forever set

The indianapolis J3;f tdl SAYS Cap
Osborne, of our 20th Sattery, arrived
here yesterday directly from Chattanooga.
He left on Monday, 9nd brings, theFefore,
as late, if not later news than the public
has received from any other source. He
says that he>was' informed by Gen. Rous-
seau, little while Before he left. that
Longstreet was in full retreat into Viz
gina, pursued and constantly harrassed
by our cavalry, which, under command
of Gen. Shackelford, hung upon his rear
capturing stragglers, wagons and stock
constantly. His forces are greatly dis,
pirited, and many were stopping and
giving. themselves up. 1t was General
kousseaus opinion that by the time he
got back to Eastern Virginia, if he ever
got there, his command would be ruined,
and what was not left among the noun
--y,--...lS L..--7--I-i, = - -
country between him and the nearest
point where supplies could be found at
all, as his horses were giving out, his
stock dying, and his means of moving
being constantly cut down. The exact
direction of his retreat was not known,
but it was known that he could not Get
up into Virginia by the railroad, as Gen.
Foster was there with considerable
force-not having yet relieved Burn
side but holding this important po-
sition-and Sherman filed up the gap
between Generals Grant and Burnside
completely, so that there was no hole
through which he could escape to Bragg.
With these fences on either side he had
to retreat through long stretch of wild
mountain country in Eastern North
Carolina, or enthusiastically through a
country equally wild and impracticable
for army movements into South Western
Virginia. He might escape our pursu-
ing forces, but the mountains were an
enemy that he could not escape. Though
we count very little upon any prospect |
of seeing rebel army destroyed, we can
not fail to see that Longstreet is in a
dangerous position, not so much from
what we may do to him, as from what he |
may be unable to do for himself The
force pursuing him was composed of
Shackleford's brigade, which captured
John Morgan's band, reinforced by the
brigade which our list or 9th Cavalry
Regiment belongs, and by the two bat
teries which our citizens know so well,
the 23d Indiana, Captain Myers, and the
18th Michigan, the explosion of whose
caisson in our streets formed such fear
fu! feature of the Morgan excitement.
Captain Osborne witnessed the cap
ture of Missionary Ridge, and says tits
regarded by the army as the
most astonishing achievement of the war
and as universally eoncadad that Indiana |
was foremost.

How the President Spends His Time

In one ofhis recent letters from Wash
ington TO the Boston Journal. " Perlev y
gives s0ure uersIrs Ur-Tae uaIIY lie OF the
President He says
Mr. Lincoln is an early riser, and he
thus is able to devote two or three hours
each morning to his volumnous private
correspondence, besides glancing at a
city paper. At nine be breakfasts-then
walks over to the War Office to read such
war kilograms as they give him, (occas-
ionally some are withheld, and to have
chat wi h Gen. Halleck on the military
situation, in which he takes great in
terest Returning to the White Honse,
he goes through the mornings mail, in
company with a private secretary, Some
letters are endorsed and sent to the De.
partments-others are entrusted to the
secretary, who makes a minute of the re-
ply which he is to make-and others the
President retains, that he may answer
them himself Every letter receives at
tention, and all which are entitled to a
reply receive one, no matter how they
are wOrded, or how inelegant the chirog-
raphy may be-
anu lO1 JO dIC SdOtuGbu udyS,
but on other days, visitors at the White
House are requested to wait in the ante
chamber, and send in their cards. Some
times, before the President has finished
reading his mail, Louis will have hand
fui of pastboard, and from the cards laid
before him, Mr.. Lincoln has visitors ush-
cred in, giving precedence to his ac-
quaintances. Three or four hours dc
they pour in, in rapid succession, nine
out of ten asking Offices, and patiently
does the President listen to their appli-
cations. Care and anxiety have furrow-
ed his rather homely features, yet occas-
ionally he is reminded of an anecdote,"
and good-humored glances beam from
his clear, grey eyes, while his ringing
laugh shows that he is not used up"
yet. The simple and natural manner in
which he delivers his thoughts make him
appear to those visiting him, like an
earnest, affectionate friend. He makes
little parade of his legal science, and

a metaphysical argument does he demol-

exercise, and when passing the summer

LIVING IN THE DISMAL SwAMPs.-The
progress of the war has developed the
ability of our soldiers to surmount al
most any physical obstacle, and to live
in places hitherto regard ed as uninhab-
liable. Now we learn that not only is
the Great Dismal Swamp habitable, but
even salubrious, according to the war
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
who says:
"The name of the Great Dismal
Swamps starts feeling of ill-de6ned
dread and horror in the breasts of those
who have became acquainted with its
soft and Shiny labyrinths only through
| the medium of romance. 1t is impossi-
BILE to conceive of any one but black,
| herculean, enthusiastic Dread who could
exist amid the noxious miasmas of the
| Great Dismal SYamn-. ThaE-haliauA a
| man who attempts to live beneath the
shade of these upas-like trees is sure as
destiny of certain death. Yet this Great
Dismal Swamp is actually healthy, is oc-
cupied by onr soldiers and is pronounced
Salubrious by our surgeons. The l77th
Pennsylvania regiment went there with
almost two hundred on the sick list
and now they have scarcely two dozen.
This is miraculous, when we consider
how they have to contend against frogs
snakes, lizards and wood-ticks. The
Salt Sulpher Springs of Magnolia were {
favorite resort of the creme de la crens
of Virginia and North Carolina; yet thi
beautiful watering place is almost upol
the margin of what l would call tn
northwest lobe of the swamp, on tn
road leading from Suffolk to Portsmouth
Juniper water alone can be found in tn
: depth of this waste. 1t is of light clal
ct color, and very wholesome"
