ENCOURAGING View Of the Military Prospect

General Grant has never deceived the ma
ton. He has ever made his word good.
There is neither humbug nor exaggeration
IN what ne says, and he has taught the ma
ton to confide in his ability to do whatever
| he undertakes. Keeping these things in
mind, shall we reject the steady assurance
! by Grant himself that he needs but the CO.
operation of the nation to crush the rebellion
and that, too, at an early day =? From differ
ent sources we hear that ne has undated
confidence and he knows whereof he speaks
lie knows the foundations he is surely
though, perhaps slowly Undermining. Like
the skilltul physician who knows perfectly
the condition of his patient, he knows he is
eXhausGing the rebels, and what and when
the end must be- He is TRINA no egpey-
| inae@t, but proceeding according to Il plan
that works with mathematical certainty.
One of the principle elements is time An
other is the progress OF cooperating move
ments-chiehy Shermans in Georgia
which is as sure as fate itself Grants
grand achievements have all partaken of
this character, this grinding of the mill slow
ly but surely towards the last.
There is one thing which ought to ell
courage us, and inspire the nation to cour-
age and patience. 1t is the unwavering be-
, lief of the best informed men, those having
the means for knowing the inside as well as
the outside, i'll the ultimate result. Militia
ry critics abroad as we'll as at home, con-
cede the thoroughness with which the work
has thus far been done, and the inevitable
deduction from the means in hand and the
plan on which Grant works.
The fact that everything is staked on the
result should inspire us not only to be pa
tent but to yield whatever is required. The
grand example of General Grant himself,
should not be lost on the people. He keeps
right ahead, not blindly, but is all the while
developing those things which have already
caused him to he recognized throughout
Europe, as well as this country, as master
man at his work. 1t was weeks before
Vicksburg fell-but fall it did, and the time
was not long, considering what was won.
lie was sanguine then. He is not less san
guine now. The nation trusted and was
not deceived. Let it trust him again, for it
will not be deceived But let it perform it's
part. What greater inducement can it have
set before it, than the certain end of the war,
through the overthrow of the rebel army in
Virginia, and,a as consequence, of the REBEL
ion This is the certain prospect-the pros
pect which should move the nation to bear
and be patient-to dare and do everything.
The men we are now raising will be of
immense value to Grant; they will relieve
veterans, who will join him. Let US, then,
send every man of our quota and then let
us keep right on as though we really meant
never to let up till the work is done-fn-
ished, in the complete overthrow of the re-
bellion, and peace restored to our afflicted
country. Pitt8Jurg Daily Commercial

Strength and submission always do come,
No mans lot is ever made quite too hard
for him. Somehow he can bear it. If there
is a faint in the blood he may go mad if
there is fragile frame, he may die, but if
he has average strength of mind and body
he lives on under the weight.

How Secretary FeSSelden Looks.

The following pen portrait OF Secretary
Fessenden was written some time ago, by
the late G. W. Pearce of the West Chester
Republican civilian Pitt Fessenden stands
at this time, without doubt, at the head
of the American Senate. | suppose him to
be nearly six feet in height, possibly two in
ches under that measurement, and he would
not in my Judgment, weigh over one hun
dred and fifty or sixty pounds. His face
long and rather severe in expression, heavy
eyebrows, dark-brown hair streaked with
grey, worn rather long and with slight in
cIination to curl. judge him to be about
ifty-fve years of age. | should not think
him man Of friendship, and yet he seems
to be on familiar terms with all the Sena-
tors occasionally enjoying kind OF dry
laugh with those who come to him or to
whom he goes to chat He pays little at
tention to style in dress, being behind the
fashion, but there is nothing Of the sloven
in his appearance. His voice is clear, rather
sharp in tone, and he speaks naturally, and
with about the proper amount Of gesture.
He impresses any one who hears him that
he is not talking for talks sake, but is sim
ply filling his position as a Statesman by
bringing the powers Of his mind to the clue
idation of the subject matter under discus
sion There is nothing forid in the style of
Mr. Fessenden, but OH the contrary his ora
tory is solid, probing, and yet sufficiently
graceful to secure the attention OF his audi
ence. presume the great point which at
tracts attention to, and produces admira-
ton for, the Maine Senator, is the exceeding
clearness of his fine intellect"

OF all the ingenious ways of raising money
for Sanitary Commission, that devised by the
people of the town of Catawissa PennsyIva-
MIA, is probably the oldest. The male cit
liens agreed to decide by vote who was the
prettiest girl in town, and it was declared
in favor Of Miss Hattie S. Reifsnyder, by a
majority Of two hundred and eighty votes,
Each vote was accompanied by the sum Of
twenty-five cents, and the proceeds were
given to the Sanitary Fair as the contribu-
ton Of the favorite beauty. What makes
the matter more interesting is the fact that
Miss Reifsnyder is nursing the wounded SOL
diers in the Army of the Potomac.
