Lieutenant General U. S. Grant.

While the bill was pending in the House of
Representatives to revive the grade of Lieu
tenant General in the United States Army,
Hon. 4. b. Washburne, of Illinois, made a
brief speech from which the following will be
found an interesting extract:
am not here TO speak for General Grant
No man with his consent has ever mentioned
his name in connection with any position.i
say what l know to be true, when / allege
that every promotion he has received since
he first entered the service to put down this
rebellion was moved without his knowledge
or consent; aud in regard to this very matter
of Lieutenant General, alter the bill was in
troduced, and his name mentioned in connec-
tion Herewith, he wrote me and admonished
me that he had been highly honored already
by the Government, and did not ask, or de-
serve anything more in the shape of honor or
promotion; and that 4 success over the enc
my was what he craved above everything else /;
that he only desired to hold such an influence
over those under his command as to use them
TO the best advantage TO secure that end.
Such is the language of this patriotic and
single-minded soldier, ambitious only of serv-
ing his country and doing his whole duty.
Sir, whatever this House may do, the country
will do justice TO General Grant. We can see
that. / think can appreciate that myself
After the battle of Shiloh, little less than
two years ago, wava of calumny and de-
traction swept over General Grant with a
power that would have overwhelmed any man

of less strength and courage My neighbor
and my friend, appointed Upon my own recon-
mendation, sought in my place on this floor
the earliest occasion to tell the country some
thing of this General, denunciations of whom
were ringing from one end OF the country to
the other. believe can say scarcely had the
| sympathy Of single member on this floor in
making that speech, which was only regarded
| as somewhat extravagant defence of friend.
| Willing to take the responsibility of standing
by my record then, | now appeal to history
for my justification, and ask il General Grant
has not far transcribed everything that l
claimed for him.
Look at what this man has done for his
country, for humanity, and civilization--ths
modest and unpretending General whom gen.
tiemen appear TO be so much afraid Of He
has fought more battles and won more victo-
ries than any man living; he has captured
more prisoners and taken more guns than any
General of modern times. To us in the great
valley of the West he has rendered a service
In opening our great channel of communica-
ton to the ocean, SO that the great Father of
Waters now goes "unvexed to the sea-" which
endears him to all our hearts. Sir, when his
blue leglons crowned the crests of VIcksburg,
and the hosts of rebeldom laid their arms at
the feet OF this great conqueror, the rebel
confederacy was cut in twain and the back
bone OF the rebellion broken.
The following paragraph from the same
speech shows the simplicity and unpretentious
spirit of this noblest of heroes.
When he left his headquarters at ''Smiths
plantation" below Vicksburg, to enter on
that great campaign he did not take with him
the trappings and paraphernalia so common
to many military men. As all depended on
quickness of movement, and as it was impor-
tant to be incumbered with as little baggage
as possible, he set an example to all under
him. He took with him neither horse, nor
an orderly, nor servant, camp-chest, an
oyercoat, nor blanket, nor even a clean
shirt. His entire baggage for six days-I was
with him at that time-was tooth BRUSH
lie Jared like the commonest soldier in his
command, partakiug of his rations, and sleep
ing upon the ground, with no covering ex-
cept the canopy of heaven. How could such
soldier fail TO inspire confidence in an army,
and to lead il to victory and to glory?

REPORTED BY W. H. DRAPER.
Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1864-03-10


For months past there has been large
migration Of people from the South into
the North. The terrible despOlism Of JEFF
Davis is driving thousands from the South
in search Of peaOs and homes in the mere
secure society Of the East and West. Es.
PeeiAlly is the Mississippi 3 highway for
these fugitiyes. The military authorities
furaish transportation to ell who come
within cur Lines, and most Of them sre
landed ct Cairo, without money, food,
clothing, or friends. They are wanderers
on the earth.
Il is calculated that several thousand
will srrive each month. Now here is an
opportunity for the exercise Of a generous
charity. While we are providing for the
eOntrsbands, while efforts are being made
in behalf Of the loyalists Of East Tsnnes-
zee, these white refugees also demsnd some
what Of public sympathy and charity.
They are certainly entitled to II, coming
as they do, fleeing from horrible despc-
tism.
We urge this subject upon the attention
Of sll men and women, without regard tC
their politics.
