From tho best informed sources we

/. Gen. Gilmore's, total losses since
no commenced operations with reference
to Cha, lesion do not exceel one thous-
and men.
2. Tho rebel loss is nearly or quite
equal to this. At the first collision,
when Gen. G.. obtained foo.hoid on
Morris Island, the rebel loss was 500,
while ours was but so.
3. The rebels vie with our officers in
Ydmiraton Of the heroic gal!antry cviuc-
al by our men in the last desperate as
sauit on Fort Wagner. Il has never
Leen eqaaied on this continent. Though
our men fought under every disadyan-
ta2e, including that Of suffering from tie
fire Of some of our own iron-clads, they
took good portion Of the fortress aud

officers and most OF the men were killed

Of the residue Of the works by our SUR

The Politics of Gen. Grant.


The Ga,ena Advertiser, published at
Gen. GRANTS home says:
at is alike unpatriotic and ungracious
to be higgling as to what may have
been the politics Of men now nobly
fighting for tie Republic. With truly
loyal aud patriotic men it makes no DIT
ference as TO what party soldier may
have belonged before the rebellion.-
Rushing to the defence of his Govern
ment and his country, rlsking his lie on
the battle field, he challenges the respect
and the gratitude of the good citzen.--
Yet we find that certain Coppcrhead
newspapers, that preach peace and de-
nounce the war, have the unparalleled au-
aacity 70 claim certain successful Gener-
ais as democrats" using the term ~
their own sense. Some papers sympa-
thizing with the rebels. having claimed
our fellow citizen, Maj. Gen. Grant, rs
democrat" it may be proper for US to
say word touching his politics, spack
ing by the best authority. Being in the
army up to within few years before the
war broke out, and beng military
man, he never cast a vote III his life. In
1860 be was freddy 10 the success of
the late Judge Douglas, though he oft
en- expressed himself as having great con
fiience in tie honesty and patriotism OF
Mr.. L;ncoln. His father, the venerable
Jesse Il. Grant, now residing in Coving
ton, Kentucky. IS stauncL Republican,
and voted for Lincoln ard llamlin. His
brother, Mr.. 0. Il. Grant, now in charge
of the business house in this city in
which the General was engr-oi before
entering the service, is one OF ;he most
active and efficient Republicans and
Union men. The General himself IS
now supporter Of the Administration
and its Whole policy, without qua!fca-
ton or evasion. In 1862 he was one Of
