How Grnnt Bccsmc q General.

Gen Grant entered the service for this war as
Colonel Of the 2lst Illinois Infantry lie bad raised
bis regiment near Springfield and was about to have
II mustered into The service, when many OF bis men
gave evidence Of dsaiicclion and expressed an I'M
willingness 10 be sworn Ia. They bad tined camp
life a short time and did nj like IL well enough to
bind themselves to II for the long PERIOD Of three
wears. Grant was getting disheartened, and was
mourning the prospective oss Of his eagles, when
he accidentally met Gen. Logan, who happened 10
be In Springfield about that time. He made his
troubles known 10 him. They counseled together
on the subject for n while. and finally Grant told
Logan that be thought if be logan would make 4
speech to the men il might do some good. Logan
consented, and soon after the 2lst was drawn up III
line to give him audience. Logan made speech
in wbicn he urged them 10 enlist, and all; be
painted the soldier life 10 rainbow huos, and soon
dispelled the prosaic ideas which the new recruits
had Of what was 10 store for them. His address
had the desired effect. Every man was sworn in
ard Grant was commissioned as Colonel lie has
often sad since that If il bad not been for Logan
ho would probably never have been in the army.

1900 men in camp. A second regiment OF cavalry
is nearly completed, and will soon take the field
As there many Rebel stragglers in the noun
tans south of Carlisle, this cavalry can augment the
number of prisoners considerably, by securing the
roads and picking up these straggiers.
As close this letter news comes Of fearful bat
tie raging along the Potomac below Wlliamsport.
Gen. Meade is determined that Lees retreat shall
be marked by blood. Let us hope that it may
prove fatal to his army. The rain of the past few
days is all in our favor, and the Potomac must be
swollen larger than for any time during the year.

The Late Fight ON the Kappa
hammock.

From papers found on the field of the late
conflict, it would seem that the recent ad-
vance of the enemy on the line Of the Kappa
hammock, was designed as something more
chan mere Reconnaissance These papers
disclose the fact, if we are correctly. informed.
that the expedition was. first, for the destruc-
ton Of the Central Road at Gordousville by
tearing up as much of the track of that road,
either way from the above point, as might be-
found convenient in the time allowed then,.-
From thence they were to proceed to the
James River and Kanawha Canal, which they
were expected to strike at or near Columbia.
IN Fluvanna. Thence, crossing the James
River, their course was laid out through Cam
.herland county, to Farmyilie, Or the High
Bridges, overthe Appomattox .ncar that place.
The destruction Of this bridge was one If the
pet objects of the expedition.
After the accomplishment of this feat the
expedition was to work itself out of difficulty
BY passing round between this city and the
North Carolina line, SO as TO strike tie Yam
kee lines in the neighhorheod of Suffolk.
ID: impossible OF accomplishment as this feat
would seem to be, the distance to travel and
tine risks to run are no greater than those in
qeurred BY the daring Morgan in some of his
raids into Kentucky and Tennessee. But the
Yankees not only lacked Morgan to execute
this bold scheme, but met with such men a.
the Lees and Stuart, whose vigilance il a
sure guarantee that no Yankee raid into our
lines can ever be successfully undart,ken.-
