Some OF Cen. Crant,s oninio


Rev. Dr.. Thomson, editor Of the N. Y
Christian Advocate. reports conversation
he had with Gen. Grant in the cars, feW
days ago: 1913 -s.7r- .er1ss = -..
Gen. Grant is man of medium height
and unassuming manners, His dress was
plain aud in no respect indicative of his
rank. The stranger is struck with his
youthful appearance. He seems to be not
more than thirty FIVE years of age. Gen
eral Grant is democrat in the true sense
Ct the word. He is for the people, for all
the people. He has none of the airs, or
the spirit. or the philosophy of an arstocrat
Without freedom or want of dignity, he is
at home at once and everywhere. He is
very modest, seeking to hide from the pub,
lie gaze. Though called for by the crowd
at every station, it was with difficulty he
could be persuaded to step forward and raise
his hat; he made no speeches, but retired
in silence.
In speaking of Gen. Mcclellan he exhib-
tied both good sense and generosity, while
at the same time he indicated an intention
to avoid his errors. He attributed General
McClellan's failure to no want of ability or
education, but to the fact that he rose too
rapidly, was intoxicated by his elevation,
and afraid to make bold step lest should
be false one Moreover. he unfortunate
~ allowed himself to be manipulated by
politicians and bewildered by the false lights
which they held out before him.
Gen. Grant is hopeful aud while he
makes no such extravaganza utterances as
Gen. Scott and Gens Me Clellan' did, he vet
leads US to understand that events are in
train for decisive spring campaign. He
speaks in the highest terms Of Gen. Sher-
man, who succeeds him in the Western De-
partment, who. he says, has no superior in
the service, and of Gen. MCPHERSON, on
whom much will devolve, as we'll as Of Gen.
Gilmore, who is yet 10 play an important
part. Each Of the two latter graduated at
the head of his class. Gen. Sherman would
have done likewise but for some demert
marks. THAT said the General. Twas
my case-lhat is. to have demerit marks
only if they had been cancelled might not
have reached the head of my Glass; He
gave us to understand, that although he
would have an Office in Washington, be
did not intend to do much Office work, but
would take the field whichever and whenev-
er he deemed his presence would be most
useful. We could not but compliment him
upon the brilliant campaign which brought
him successfully to Vicksburg. He replied
that it was hazardous, but had to be done.
