The Tribune's correspondent says:
You should see the brilliant cavalcsde
and hear the tramp and clangor Of hoOf
and ssber when Grant and Meade and
their stats and the whole mounted retinue
Of headquarters 20 sweeping by. OF
course the small man on the small black
horse leading the troop is Grant. If you
did not know it before, the soldiers
who rush out 10 the road, or half halt on
the march. and point him out to each 9TH
er, have told you. The smslI black pacing
horse, halfs queens pony, balf kings
Bueephslus, with arched neck end champ
ing bit, and small, alert, hexile ears, snd
short, mouse ike hair, and great tail car
ried royalty like q banner whose form is
symmetry, spite Of the sloping hips that
belong to all PAGERS, whose muscles are
watch springs, whose impatient AIR seems
to resent his ANAL siEe-this little black
imp Of horse, horse that is Hall horse
is JEFF Davis" and Grant is on his back.
The rider sits him with uncommon
grace, CONTROLS him with one single gaunt-
Ieted hand, never once regards the torrent
Of horsemen that follow, looks nor right
nor left, but never fails to acknowledge
with quick gesture the sslutes Of the
soldiers sll-observed, silent
insorutsble, he controls and moves srmiss
as he does his horse.
The rider at his side is not LEES worth
marking we'll. His horse ;s the ideal war
horse, tall and powerful, and horse and
rider look like a picture Of helmeted
knight Of old, gaunt tall, grizzled, with
the large Roman nose OF will and power,
and wearing a slouched hat the wide
brim bent down all round, but not conceal
ing the lightning glance Of eyes that are
terrible In snger-suoh is George G..
Meade, nOblest Roman of them all, rsIent-
less fighter, and good General, to whose
hearty and wise seconding Grant does not,
aud the country should not, hesitate to so-
knowledge the greatest Indebtedness.
j A Radical CopPeThend Combination. ~
The Radical and Oopperhesd organs are
billing and oOoirg. They think it would
be nice thing to join fortunes and 20
into the campaign on the common platform
| Of opposition to the present Adminisirs-
tiOn. The New Nation, the organ Of Frs-
mont, says:
"Fhere is SO little difference between
this party (Fremonts) and the Democratic
party that it would be easy 10 adopt q
common ticket, which would sweep every
thing before it. Such step would be to
the interest Of the Democratic ticket if it
would not remain four years longer in the
ack-grOuRd"
And the New York World meets the
New Nation half way as follows;
"But why should Democrats have any
choice in toe action of the Republican par
ty (suPposing it we're TO be successfully as
between Lincoln aud Fremont2 On the
slavery question their policy would indeed
be the same; but an honest snti-slavery
man would be better st the head Of the
Government than q trucking, time deserving
AbOlihonist. And then Fremont is un-
equivOcolly for free speech, free press,
the right Of asylum, the Monroe doctrine,
and guarantees ofpersonal liberty. Tsere
is nothing in the slavery question to be
weighed Tor one moment against these.
So far ss the Radicals consent TO stand
upon these principles Of the Cleveland
platform, they have sfbOnd Of sympathy
with the Democratic party and with sll
true patriots.
