The weather 10 intolerably warm
yet the general health Of the troops is
excellent. They are all anxious tc
make one more assault, for after vicks
burg is captured they anticipate q
rest from their tolls and fatigues.
There is now no doubt that the reb
els are suffering severely from want Of
food. The very looks Of their men
manifest it, while the first thing pris
oners and deserters clamor for is bread
All their animals are turned loose and
show unmistakable signs of hard
times. " a
Of course you have seen the photo
graphs of Gen. Grant, now being cop
led SO extensively in all the illustra-
ted papers. They are remarkable for
only one thing, and that is looking ex-
actly like any one but Gen. Grant. To
him the pictures have no resemblance.
They invariably give him a pair of inn
mense whiskers, slouch hat, and a
most brigand look.
Gen. Grant is about forty years old,
five feet and nine or ten inches high,
has light hair, ruddy countenance,
blue eyes, and a keen wandering
glance, and ,oears his beard cut close, said
beard being of q sandy cast. He is
very negligent in regard to his dress,
and presents strange contrast to
some of his officers who "come out in
STYLE" He is an inveterate smoker,
and has cigar in his mouth continu-
ally. He is very chary in his speech,
acting well up to the old adage of
hearing much and saying little. He
is decidedly a plain looking man, hav-
ing stoop in the shoulders, and being
somewhat bow-legged. When walk
ing he invariably has his hands in his
pockets and his eyes upon the ground.
When he rides his horse goes at the
top of his speed. His weight is
about one hundred and eighty pounds.
He has also the Yankee habit of whit
Ting. On the memorable 22d of May,
when his army was making the as
sault on the Notifications, he coolly
seated himself on a fence, in full view
of the rebel fire, and whitfield furi-
ously. He is very determined in his
own mind, and when once resolved on
deed he is not easily persuaded from
it. Gen. Grant is not brilliant man,
not Young Napoleon" but he is an
energetic man, live general. He
possesses great caution, yet can make
a dashing campaign, as the one lately
made amply testifies. He is now very
popular with his troops who familiarly
term him "Old Trumps."
l have endeavored to give your rea-
ders truthful description of the gen.
eral who was lately pronounced by the
President the best of the age, if not
Of the world" MAJOR GENERAL ULYSSES
s. GRANT, commanding the Army of
the Tennessee. WINFIELD.

QUEEN v1cToR1A ArprHE BIBLE,

1t was a noble and beautiful answer
of the queen, the monarch of free
people. reigrirg more by love than
law, because seeking to reign in the
fear of God lit was a noble answer
she gave to an African prince, who
sent an embassage with costly presents
and asked her in return to tell him tho
secret of England's greatness and
England's glory |; and the beloved
queen sent him, not the number Of her
feet, not the number of her armies, not
the account Of her boundless merchan-
disc, not the details of her inexiiaustis
BILE wealth--she did not, like Hezekiaii
in an evil hour, show the ambassador
her diamonds and rich ornaments, but,
handing him beautifully bound copy
OF the BIBLE, she said, Tell the prince
that this is the secret of England's
greatness" ,fa E 80

thrown from q mortar. placed in such a

Our nine-inch guns still thunder at
the rebel forts, the sappers are still at
work busily, and in all probability the
grand assault will be made soon.
Directly in front Of this command
are two forts, known to us as " Fort

and our guns are now working at the
strongest of the rebel land defences,

GREAT SALT MISE.-It appears from
scientific investigation that the salt
deposit at New Iberia, Louisiana, is
Of the most extensive and wonderful
description. For vastncss and purity
it is unequaled on the globe. One ac-
count says : :" 1t is to imagine, if you
can, the granite quarry of Massachu-
setts, or the marble quarry of Ver-
mont, to be solid deposits of pure rock
salt, clean and transparent as so much

SUNSET.
BY +. J. COLE.
Calm and serene the evening sun
Sinks at the close of blazing day;
Its glorious course of light is run
Sweetly departs each lingering ray.
Sweetly beneath its setting blaze.
The scorched and thirsty flowers revive;
We gaze a-down life's chequered maze,
Longing to see the morn arrive,
The suns refulgent lingering rays,
Swectly remind of life's last even,
When earths bright scenes so slow recede,
Rejecting back the hues of heaven.
o q O
The morning breaks, darkness has fed
Ger earth radiant halo rests
Thus nations, waking from the dead,
Arise to mingle with the blest.
