A FRENCH OPINION Or GEN GRAET.-
The Paris Presse, in an article upon the
American war, in which it arrived at
the conclusion that the South is about
to abandon the struggle, thus speaks of
Gen. Grant:
Grant is the American Massena, the
beloved child of Victory; who has never
met with reverse, but who is as valiant
and interchangeable as if he had one to
fear. Alone he is able TO resist the
three armies of the Conlederacy."
This compliment to the Lieutenant
General is well deserved. Europe is
generally coming round to true appre-
citation of the situation in this country
and in few years will do rs full and
ample justice. Already some of their
papers are pronouncing our army the
best in the world, and this fact will soon
be universally acknowledged
