GeneraI Grant and the Soldiers.

A correspondent of the New York Post,
writing from Fredericksburg, under date
of the 18th, says:-The confidence of the
army in Gen. Grant exceed anything ever
before witnessed in this field Every SOL
dierreligiously and solemnly believes that
the Lieutenant General means, as they
phrase it, to ''mash the rebellion" and
that he irih do IT,; and they tell. with the
utmost gusto, of the novel methods he
adopts to bring every man squarely up to
the spirit of his own high purpose. The
night before the last grand conflict the
General went out to the line of skirmish-
ers, and passing slowly along, encouraged
the men with generous praise You have
never had a fair chance, boys he said,
'at these Johnny Rebs; mean that you
shall have it now. You can whip them;
| am sure you CAM" and at that the men
cheered; and the story. flying from camp
10 camp, sent every soldier into the fight
of Thursday with faith in their leader
and a confidence in themselves which
made them perfectly irresistible. Such
charges as these brave men made were
never heard of in history; such slaughters
as they inflicted on the enemy, crouching
in their rihe-pits, even the veterans of
this royal-souled Army of the Potomac
never saw nor dreamed of. The soldiers
have entered fully into the spirit and pur-
pose of their commander.
In one of the first conflicts last week,
one of our divisions broke and fell back
in disorder. Gen. Grant, riding up, said
to the men: "Boys, you may break
if you choose, but you must fight in the
end | have taken up the bridges in the
rear: there is no communication with
Washington; we must fight the thing out
right" This story has been told me by
several soldiers, all of whom exhibited
the most unqualified acquiescence in the
Generals tactics. Another thing the men
like General Grant in his unostentation.
"He is like one of ourselves" they say;
''he avoids fuss and show; even his staff
is limited, and composed of men like
himself" 81 have more than once" said
an orderly to me, while in the glow OF
conversation about the General, ''seen his
aids get down from their horses to let
wounded men ride TO the hospitals" In
a word, the spirit of the army is magnih-
cent; it is animated by sublime deter
mination to succeed, whatever sacrites
success may involve. One poor fellow,
whose wounds we cleansed and bound up
this morning, actually sobbed with vexa-
ton because he could not at once return
to the field and continue in the fight un-
til the end.

The Evacution orDaItOn.

A letter from a correspondent of the
Cincinatti Commercial gives the details of
the movements of Sherman against John
ston's position at Dalton, which he brief
ly summed up as follows: rrf
Gen. Sherman moved the main body of
his army directly against the mountain
range held by Johnston in front of Dal-
ton, but sent the right wing under Nc
Pherson, to threaten Johnston's rear
There was in front of Dalton good deal
of severe skirmishing, and two partial
assaults, in which we lost 800 men in kill
ed and wounded, but when Mcpherson
took Snake Gap, six miles from Resacca,
which is fifteen miles in the rear of Dali
ton. Sherman threw his whole force after
McPhrson; and Johnston retreated.
General Sherman's success in the in
itiation of his campaign, is highly import
ant. IL Johnston could not stay in Dal-
ton. we do not know what place in Geor-
gia he can hold.

CAMP OF THE 6TH OHIO Cav.
OK THE JAMES RIVER,
May 18th.
DEAR BRoTHER:--0ncem more | am per-
mitted to write you. We have just reached
our lines having been on one of the great
est raids of the war. Our whole corps of
cavalry was along. We started on the 9th,
fought every day. On Thursday we fought
inside of the Notifications of Richmond,
81 miles from the city. The rebs. had pre-
pared trap for US, by placing thirteen
torpedoes ~ the road, and all connected
by string ready to pull off as soon as
our column passed overit; but two bursted
however, killing one pack horse. The rebs
surrounded us and for four hours the bat
tleraged. Finally Gen. Cester cut his way
through in front across the Chickahomi-
ny swamp and we all came out safe.
We burned three or four depots, cars
and engines, four or FIVE thousand stand
of arms, recaptured lots of our own men
cut Lee s communication TO Richmond
entirely, and have joined Buffers forces
W hich are across the iver from our camp
his he ct is in the river off Harrisons Ian
ding, and we are camped some four miles
up the river from it. The first day we start
ed out, our Regiment was rear guard.
About P NJ, the rebels charged two or
three times on US; it being bad place, we
could not repel them at advantage, and
came very near creating panic; we lost
some good men, about thirty from the
Regiment in killed, wounded, and miss
ing; seven from our co. Sergt. Baker NOR
tally wounded in the right breast; we had
to leave him; Sergt. Drew and Garfield
wounded slightly; Lucius Fenton, Daniel
Randall slight; Grin Wolcott, Edward
Northway, missing, Captain Abbets of
co. |, was killed; we had one man wound
ed accidentally inside the Notifications; so
on this trip we have lost eight from our
CO.; the wounded were all sent down the
river this morning. We have passed over
the famous battle fields of McClellen,
Mechanicsyille, Baton Bridge, Malvern
Hill &c. We captured 300 prisoners, and
one Brigadier, .--r
Orlando and Alcine are well. t-
want you to write as soon as you can;
the address is the same. We will be here
three or four days. perhaps longer. We
have had a hard trip, went without any
thing to eat for two days, but coffee; now
we are all right again. | am in haste
Love to all the friends, &c.
Your brother,
W. o. B.

THE RETURN OF SPRING.
BY 5. c. ". BENJAMIN.

Now genial days once more prevail,
The skies assume a softer blue.
The forests dof their icy mail,
And waiting stand, as if they knew
The near approach of festive Spring,
And heard her heraldis trumpets ring
Come, gentle spirit. laughing Spring,
o, hasten With thy magic wandl
To every heart new gladness bring.
And spread rejoicing through the landl
Forsake awhile the bowers OF Faery,
And come, for we eXpectant tarry.
Bring yerlure for the mountain bleak,
Give ere unto the fading eye,
New health unto the wasting cheek,
Soft moOnlights in q purple sky,
And tune the voices of the streams
With music from the land Of dreams.
And let the lark thy footsteps follow.
The mellow blaekbIrd and the thrush,
The woo-dOye and the chattering swallow,
That hoyers in the twilight's hush
Round messy gables of the farm.
When ali the air is faint with BALM
Broider the hills with columbines.
And deck the fields with daisies white;
Festoon the brooks with leafy vines,
Through which shall play the emerald llgnt
And bring meek violets for the brave.
To deck the patriot soldiers grave.
We bid the winds attune thy praise
With wild wierd music evermOre,
Where birehes shake their quivering sprays
Beside the lakelet's silver shore.
Or where the pine its crest uprears,
And wave away the passing years.

A spIendid steam Yacht.

Early in the Spring we stated that
Messrs. Peck & Masters had entered into
a contract with T. W. Kennard, Esq, to
build for him steam yacht, and at the
same time gave the dimensions of the
boat and other particulars, as far as then
known. Since then the work has been
commenced, and is now being pushed
forward as rapidly as possible. The yacht
is intended more particularly for the
ocean, and will be constructed with spec
ial regard TO swift sailing qualities and
the comfort of passengers. By the fol-
lowing dimensions it will be seen that
she will be no diminutive affair, but larg-
er than some of the floating palaces" Of
twenty years ago. Her length will be IA
feet; breadth of beam 95 feety depth of
hold, IA feet, and will measure 500 TONS
The engines are being built at Jersey City,
by the Atlantic & Great Western Loeomo-
tive Works, and are calculated to be mod
els of beauty and power.
With the exception of the engines the
boat will be built and furnished entirely
by western labor and with western mate
rial. Her furniture will be costly and
luxurious. Solid woods-the growth of
western forests-and not mere Yeneerings
and limitations, will be used IN all the fur
niture of the boat, all the belongings of
which are to be of first order. No pains
or expense will be spared to make the
yacht triumph of American skill and
taste. The boat is as yet far from being
yet entirely erected, and the plans of its
cabins, &C., not having been drawn. We
understand, however, that it will be
launched about abe middle of July, and
in readiness for use within a short time
thereafter.
At the close of the season Mr.. Kennard
proposes to take the boat aronnd to New
York, and will take trip to Europe at
the opening of next season. But during
the present summer he intends to make
a complete cruise around our whole chain
of lakes, and in the meantime make
full collection of our native ores and min
erals.-CsUvla1sd Herald.

ON GUARD.
At midnight, on my lonely beat.
When shadows wrap the wood and lea.
A vision seems my view TO greet.
Of one at home that prays for me
No roses bloom upon her cheek,
Her form is not a lovers dream,
But on her face so fair and meek,
A host Of holier beauties CLEAN.
For softly shires her silver hair,
A patient smile is on her face
And the mild lustrous light of prayer
Around her sheds moonlight grace,
She prays for one that's far away
The soldier in his holy fight
And begs that Heaven. in mercy. may
Protect her boy and bless the right.
Till. though the leagues lie far between,
This silent increase Of her heart
Steals DER my soul with breath serene,
And we no longer are apart.
So guarding thus my lonely beat
By shadovy wood and haunted lea,
That vision seems my eye to meet.
