Gen. Grants Report.

Our readers will find, on the second page
of this paper, Major General ULYSSES S.
GRANTS report of the operations of the
Army OF the Tennessee, from the day he
assumed command ofthe expedition against
Vicksburg to the surrender of that place.
1t will be read with intense interest. 1t
has been well characterized by cotempo-
rary as document for the present hour
and for all time. 1t is full, clear, vivid,
able and modest. His gallant army and
his subordinate commanders deserve all
the praise he gives them, and he himself
commands honor from the whole country
and the world. Those who from the frag-
mentary details of the correspondents, and
the contradictory dispatches Of the tele-
graph, were unable to gain an accurate
idea Of the splendid operations at Vicks-
burg while they were in progress, will find
the whole thing set forth here with the
skill OF master.

Parson BRowNLow writes that DR.. Ev-
ERErrE of the 9Th Tennessee Infantry, who
was confined in Libby Prison, was in the
same room there with Ex-Governor AIKEN,
Of South Carolina, who had refused to take
the oath of allegiance to the Confederacy,
and to contribute means to sustain the re-
bellion. Gov. AIKEN was the largest
STAKEHOLDER in the South. In 1856 be was
the candidate for Speaker in the House of
Representatives, and was supported by
the united opposition to Mr.. BANKS. He
was man of great wealth, thorough
gentleman, and firm friend to the Union,
for which he now suffers such wrongs.
The fact OF his Imprisonment has been
kept out of the Southern papers, indeed it
was said he had gone to Europe. Parson
BRowNLOw insists that our Government
ought, without weeks delay, to arrest
five prominent rebel citizens, and confine
them in irons until this odd man eloquent,
is set at liberty"

Rebel Loss OF the Battle OF dsetIys.
burg,

Rebel Journals attribute the loss of the
battle OF Gettysburg to the timidity and
hesitation Of Major General Anderson,
on the first day, when the rebels were
successful in the attack upon Gen. Rey-
nolds, who was killed, and his corps, the
advance at Gen. Meade's army, driven
back with the loss of three or tour thou
sand prisoners. 1t is stated that on
this opportunity chad Anderson, as he
might very easily have done, taken pos
session of the mountain range upon
which the subsequent battles were fought
by the enemy, there can be no doubt that
the whole Yankee army would have been
destroyed, As it was, the delay of AM
dersOn prevented Heth and Fender from
taking possession of this important posi-
ton, and permitted it to fall into the en-
emy's hands. | have no hesitation in
saying that this fatal blunder was traught
with the most disastrous consequences to
our arms. learn that all the brigade
commanders in Anderson's division were
anxious to advance, but the Major General
would not consent"

A WHOLE FAMILY IN HEAvEN.-The fol-
lowing beautiful passage is from the pen
of Rev. ALBERT BARNES:
A whole family in Heaven-who can
describe their everlasting joy? No one is
absent. Nor father, nor mother, nor son,
nor daughter, is away. In the world be-
low they were united in.faith, and love,
and peace, and joy. In the morning of
the resurrection they ascend together.
Before the throne they bowed together in
united alteration. On the banks of the
river of life they walk hand in hand; and
as family they have commenced career
Of glory which shall be everlasting. There
is hereafter to be no separation of that
family. No one is to lie down on a bed
of pain. No one to wander away into
temptation. No one to sink into the arms
of death. Never in heaven is that family
to move along in the slow procession, clad
in the habiliments of woe to consign one
of its members to the tomb God grant
that in his infinite mercy every family
may be thus united

Death of Little Crow.

All doubts which may have existed as
to the death of LITTLE Grow, are removed
by the statement of his son, who was cap
tured BY detachment of the Indian Ex-
pedition. LITTLE Crow was killed on FRI
day evening, July I'd, about six miles
north of Hutchinson, by Mr.. LAMsoN and
his son, CHAUNcEY. His body was carried
to Hutchinson, and upon examination,
(the people not knowing that it was LIT
TIE CRow,) it was found that both arms
were withered and deformed, by breaking
and displacement of the bones, but as the
complexion of the dead Indian was lighter
than LITTLE Crows. the body of the
Great Chief was not recognized, al
though he was we'll known in that
vicinity When the account of the killing
of this Indian reached the expedition,
Gen. SHELLEY, Major BROWN, Maj. FORBES
and others were of the opinion that the
Indian was the veritab!e LITTLE Crow, as
no other Indian of the tribe, as far as
their knowledge extended, had ever known
or heard of any other Sioux but LIT
TIE Grow having withered arms and
a permanent displacement of the
bones" 1t seems singular that this per-
sonal popularity of LITTLE Crow could
have been so lightly regarded by the citi-
zens of Hutchinson, among whom he was
so we'll known. We understand that his
remains are to be disinterred and pre-
served

We are pleased to meet our old friend.
Governor W. +. N. Army, of New Mex.
co, who is in this city, and has with him
an interesting cabinet Of minerals, Illus
trating the meteorological riches of New
Mexico. During the past year he has Wis
tied every county in the Territory, and OBJ
tanned specimens of the gold, silver, cop
per, lead and coal from every locality yet
discovered, which he intends to place with
the Commissioner of the General Land
Office, in the Interior Department. He
has several ounces of gold dust, very rich,
washed out from the surface dirt at the
Placer Mines, which are owned by a COM
pany, several of the members of which
reside in this city. Also a specimen from
new discoveries made near Fort Stanton;
another specimen Of tine gold from the
Rio PrietO, which he obtained from Lieut..
Martin, of the California Volunteers, who
has been stationed on that river He also
obtained some fine specimens from Capt
Joseph Walker, ''tlie Old Mountaineer. 5"
who has for some time been engaged on
the ella river, and who reports discove-
ries of rich gold deposits, and who says
that thousands OF miners could be en-
plOyed on this river in gold washing, if
the Indians were removed. In the col
lection there are specimens of rich gold
quartz from various localities in New Mex
leo, also specimens of silver ore from the
Organ Mountain, which will Weld from
one hundred and fifty to two hundred
ounces Of silver to the ton Of ore. to-
gether with rich specimens of silver from
the Cerrelios mines, near Santa Fe: also
specimens from Pinos Altos: from large
deposits lately discovered by DR.. Sur
geoE, of the United States Army, on the
ella and Rio Priet0 Rivers Several
specimens of copper ore, some OF which
is almost pure, found near Pinos Altos
in inexhaustable quantities These mines
were worked protitably Until the Texan
invasion and he breaking ont of the In
dian troubles The Governor has also
several pieces of ancient pottery, speci-
mems OF which were examined by Dr.
Sturgeon on the site Of Fort West; and
the pot from which the fragments were
broken contained the charred bones of a
human being.
lie has also specimens of agricultural
products and Indian manufactures, among
which are sugar, tobacco, and wines from
the grape of the country, which are album
dant; willow Indian basket: Navajo
Indian blanket, similar to those brought
back from that country by Colonel Doni-
pHnn in SAY. also thn. tJanL,etS which
show the good quality of the wool and
cotton Of that country. Cotton and sugar
cane can be raised on the ella river OF
superior quality and in great abundance.
The Governor has been deeply Interested
IN exploring and bringing to light the hid
den and inexhaustible mineral treasures of
the Territory of New Mexico, and he ex-
presses the confident opinion that were the
Indians removed, in two years gold and
silver enough could be obtained to redeem
all the Treasury notes now in circulation
and as many more.

out fifty dollars ahead.
