~ Lieutenant General Grant, the frat
man in our country who has fully enjoyed
the title, has been duly commissioned, and
is now, under the President, the highest
officer in the army. 1t is lofty position
he occupies. If success be evidence Of
merit-and in the army we think 1t is
then General Grant has earned his honors
nobly. II the war were concluded, we
should say that Grant had given the rebels
the hardest blows, and contributed most
towards their overthrow. But it is not
ended. There is more fighting to be done,
more strategy to be developed, more and
desperate battles to be contested. Grant
will have the opportunity to earn new and
even greener laurels. Will he do it, No
one can tell, though all loyal hearts sim
cerely hope he will. 1fhe continues in the
field, where he has hitherto been, We pre-
sumo he viii furnish new vouchers Of his
ability, energy and success. But If he
should be buried at Warrington in tho po-
sition occupied BY Halleck hitherto, we do
not zee how he can add anything to his
fame. Perhaps We are deceived. But We
shall regret his elevation in rank II that 10
TO remove him from the field he has titled
90 serviceably to the country to another In
which he 10 altogether untried. Besides
We don't think the Washington atmosphere
salutary-for Generals. 1t may spoil
Grant. Let him keep away from it.

M We take it that the soldiers Of New
York will have an opportunity to vote at
future elections. The vote on the Constitu-
tional Amendment authorizing the Legis-
lature to provide means to take their SUI
frsges, came of on Tuesday last. We have
seen no returps save those from New York
City. The vote there was small but en-
phatic-l6,4 0l for tho amendment, and
$50 against it. II it obtained 80 over
whelming support in that Copperhead
den, We may safely assume that the vote
was nearly unanimous in the rural dis
tricts."

The Northern Copperheads don't like it
either. The fact is that we have been

OLUsTEK.-We preferred TO print without
comment yesterday OurcorrespOndents ac-
count Of the battle Of Olustee. To-day it
| ia necessary TO say word on the causes OF
the defeat.
There is no essential disagreement be-
tween the three narratives which were
published yesterday, though one OF them
that Of the 1Smes-is written in . manifest
wiah to shield Gen. Seymour from blame.
But since it is also truthfully written. it is
more damaging to him than any other ac-
count.
The decisive facts are these:
ten. seymour was 1t BARRIERS Station.
thirty-four miles from Jacksonville. on
the Florida Central Railroad, on the 18th
Of February, with column Of 4, 500 infant
~, 400 cavalry, and 20 guns. He started
ed that column on the morning Of the 10th.
at O'Clock, toward Olustee, At which
place, according to his information, the en-
envy were posted in force. Although NOV
ing avowedly in search of q fight, no skir-
mishers were thrown out to cover his
TANKS, but the troops we're marched in
close order, in three columns, cavalry and
mounted infantry in front. The advance
came upon the enemy at 2 p. m. At that
time, Gen. Seymour's troops had been in
motion. over difficult roads, without rest
faint, and hungry" says the Times nara
tive, they were suddenly attacked BY q
large force Of the enemy, concealed behind
thick wood, waiting with compliment sat
isfaction the entry Of our men into his am
bush; very much after the manner that the
spider would have the fly walk into his
parlor."
The action lasted three hours. Gen. Sew
mOur, having permitted his troops ii the
FIRST place to be fianked, established them
finally between two swampe, one in front
preventing them from attacking the ene-
my, one in the rear preventing their re-
treat. In that horrible trap, subjected TO a
tire in front from twice their number. to q
fire from sharp-sh0Oters in the trees which
rendered artillery nearly useless, and to
"a enfilading fire which demoralixed ut
least two regiments in succession. Gen.
Seymour held his brave troops. and sur
veyed their slaughter " with unmatched
eQuanimity." When out Of less than s 600
men, 500 had been killed or wounded. the
remainder were allowed to fall back. The
o4th Massachusetts and LIST North Carolina
-colored regiments covered the retreat
And 20 ended the battle Of Olustee.
we have only to say that whoever again
trusts Gen. Seymour with the command OF
troops will deserve 70 be held criminally
reeponsible. for their defeat. Once before.
at Fort Wagner, he flung away his men
with the same recklessness and inoapacitv
which Olustee now exhibits. It ought not
20 be permitted again.-N. +. 1rib1ne.

~ According to DR.. Lord, very Rev
erend, and doubtless equally pious gentle
man, "if there had been no New England,
there would have been no war! That's
exactly equivalent to another phrase-"if
there had been no Heaven there would
have been no He'll" Perhaps the gentle
man, being theologian, will comprehend
the logic of the latter phrase, though we
doubt if he does his own. For our part we
have no doubt that great many things
would not have been, had there been no
New England. There would have been no
Revolution of '76, no Republic, and not
much more freedom for White men than
there has hitherto been for the Blacks
That, probably, would suit DR.. Lord. He
don't like freemen-therefore he hates New
England. nice Lord, he is.

ia There are many good and true men
who detest the Blair and Bates influence in
the Cabinet and quarrel with Mr.. Lincoln
for other reasons, which it is unnecessary
to mention. But oil must admit that the
Rebel and Copperhead hatred Of Mr.. Lin
coin and anxiety to defeat and get rid OF
him is a very high compliment to the Pre-
sident. The Rebels have a last hope, and
that is that Mcclellan will be elected over
Lincoln, and they be able to hold out till
that time. Vain hope!

70 The other day, when Mr.. Schenck
moved the passage of the bill dropping
from the Army Rolls the unemployed Gem
erals and staff officers, there was a terrible
flutter in the Congressional camp of the
Cops" They didn't like that mode of sa-
wing money. II was not according to the
rules Of their economy. They protested
maliciously against it, and made loud
threats Of ''fillibusteriug' to the death to
prevent it. Cox and Voorhees, and Kerr
nan, and other Copperheads, who are terri
bly, outraged at the cost OF the war, would
not consent to this mode Of making it less.
Honest men do not need to be told why.-
The unemployed Generals are mostly those
who don't like to hurt rebels. That's the
whole story. They are not going to vote
their friends out Of fat salaries. or course
not. That is q violation Of democratic
principles.'

Gas~ 1t is said that poor Pierce once
President, but degraded now to the level of
copperhead, has been anxious to be made
Senator from New Hampshire. If our &C.
counts of the recent election are correct, we
guess his prospects arc about as brilliant az
those Of our beloved Augustus Caesar.

~ According to the Commissioner of
Pensions, only tcelre Revolutionary SOL
diers, receiving pensions from the Govern
ment, are now living. Their ages range
from 81 to los years. These extreme ages
warrant the opinion that in very few
years the last links which connect the pres
ent with the revolution will have gone for
ever.

MARYLAND has communicated to the Secre-
tary of War, q written statement to the ef-
feet that Gen. Mcclellan, on the night after
the battle Of Antietan, at the request Of
Gen. Lee, held an interview with the rebel
General within the lines of the latter. Du-
ring that interview, he says, Lee told Gen.
Mcclellan that his army was then crossing
the Potomac! The report adds that the
writer, who was formerly member Of the
Maryland Legislature, and some ten or
twelve other persons who are alleged to
have knowledge of the fact, have been
summoned to testify concerning the mat
ter before the Committee on the Conduct Of
the War.
We hardly credit the story. Our opin-
ion Of Mcclellan is not excessively fatter-
ing. But if this new tale Of perfidy be
true. or has o shadow Of truth in it, We
shall conclude that Fitz John Porter and
Benedict Arnold were models of patriot
ism compared with him. If he knew that
Lee was crossing the Potomac, and then
refused to strike what must have proved a
fatal blow to the rebels, how shall we mea-
sure the depth Of treachery which impelled
him to withhold the blown But the coun-
try has long desired to know why he hesi-
tated to follow Lee when he knew he was
retreating. Hitherto VIC have believed it
was simply incapacity. This story makes
it the result, apparently, of reasonable
agreement.
