GOSSIP ABOUT GEN. GRANT.
The vexed Question lie Gem
erals Politics Settled mt Last
Mrs. Grant Says Her Husband
is "A Very Obstinate Man.

Correspondence of the Boston Journal.
Many inquiries have been made
about Gen. Grants politics. am happy
to inform your readers from his own lips to
what party he belongs, and under what
banner he marches. A near relative of his
has been passing some time in this city. -
While with General Grant at the West, be
fore he was made Lieutenant-Gsn the
friend said to him: General, have been
inquired of to day about your politics. -
Did you give the parties any information?"
was the quiet query. II did not" was the
answer, ''for don't know what your poll
tics are" Knocking the ashes from his
cigar, the General continued: "When | re-
sided at the South, | had the opinions and
prejudices of Southern people against the
Republican party. brought those opin-
ions and prcjudices with me when | came to
Illinois. Had | taken an active part in
politics should have been with the party
opposed to the Republicans. | watched
Mr.. Linceln's course, and was satisfied with
his patriotism. But these are not the times
for parties Indeed, in this crisis, there
can be but two parties-those for the coun-
try, those for its foes | belong to the par.
ty for the Union. Those who are the most
earnest in carrying on the war and putting
down the rebellion have my support. As a
soldier, obey the laws and execute the or
ders of all my superiors. expect every
man under me to do the same" When
Mrs. Grant left Washington for her West
ern home she remained short time in thi.
city at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Several
gentlemen called upon her, and in the
course of the conversation congratulated hei
on the elevation of her husband, and ex
pressed hope that he would be successful
in this campaign. Her whole manner, qui
ct, digni6ed and reserved, seemed to ex
press surprise that any one could doubt hi
success. Pausing moment, she replied: =
Il baye no doubt the General will succeed
for he is very obstinate man." This re
mark ended the conversation. A Galen,
neighbor OF the commanding General ha
been stopping here for some time and seem
uttery confounded with the sudden growtl
of his neighbor, the tanner. He can't ac
count for it. for he was not marked maj
in his home. and nobody supposed him
great man; he seldom talked, asked no cd
vice, gave none to any one, but always di,
what he agreed to and at the time.

A Slave Incident.

A very touching incident occurred
while headquarters were halted sa the New
ton farm, Friday afternoon, connected with
these unfortunate beings. A. the time
Mcclellan 5 army occupisd the Peninsula, a
father and two sens belonging to Captain
Newton ran away and joined cur army
The father and eldest boy, on reaching
Washington remained there, the Younger
remaining with the army as a servant at
headquarters. This bay, following en- in
rear Of staff officers, 30, suddenly found
himself on ths plantation of his birth-tho
residence of his old grandmothe. and moth
er. and an innanerable multitude of broth
ers. sisters, aunts, uncles and cousins. These
focked around the poor boy, weeping and
carsssing him until he was nearly suffocAted,
and glad to extricate himself from their OPP
pres-ive endearments. Last night we met
John escortipg at least three score con-
trabands, including Samy and mother, from
the rebel Captain Newton's farm toward
our headquarters. 1t is evident that tho
widow heirs of Captain N. twho was kill

any further. The editor has attempted
to prove all Of them falsehoods, and
does it in the same way and with the
same disregard for truth manifest in
the above examples. The evidence he
produces, even when he attempts to
misrepresent geographical facts, is the
mere assertion: "This was all lie, +"
"Now it is very well known" "Now
there was not word of truth in any
part of it," "The whole country
knows" "It now turns out" &c, and
winds up with this bombastic assump-
ton:
WE think it is not necessary for US to
review further the dispatches cf Stanton.
Surely WE hare shotcn there is no more re-
liability in them than in the dispatches
from any other quarter.
Ugh! Ugh! Big Iyin, me!
Now all this has been done without
the production of particle of evidence.
The editor expects his credulous read
ers to believe him, to take his mere
word, in preference to believing the
official dispatches of Gems. Grant and
Butler and Secretary Stanton.
The editor processes, in one instance,
to cite some anonymous correspondent
from Washington as authority, but was
ashamed to give his name, or even the
paper for which he coresponded. "It
now turns out" that this letter was
written by dirty rebel sympathizer
who has been tolerated at Washington
City, and is in the habit of transmitting
his ISLANDERS and misrepresentation of
the army and its officers to that con-
temptible sewer of treason and false
hood-the Cincinnati Enquirer pa
per even more reckless and unreliable
than the St. Clairsville Gazette, if
such a thing is possible.
After reading the Gazette's article,
of last week, the "sympathizers" who
patronize it no doubt feel very much
rejoiced at the prospect of an early ex-
termination of the Union army, as the
editor succeeds in getting Grant and
Butler whipped quite frequently, We
would just inform them that after every
Mrashing Lee gave Grant, Grant re-
treated toqcard Richmond and that he
is just sixty miles nearer the latter
place now than when his army was
whipped at the Wilderness, and about
the next time he is whipped and retreats
he will have possession of the Rebel
Capital.

Pennsylvania Volunteers, Is now at his home in
Bucks county, and that his wound, received
while at the head of his brigade in the recent
attack on Charleston, Is now rapidly improving.
IL is feared that the Colonel will never be able 10
use his right hand again. This is the second time
Colonel Davis has been wounded. He has com
manded brigade for over eighteen months, and
we trust will soon receive the star which he so
Justly merits. His loss, though only temporary,
is deeply felt in the brigade. An officer writes as
from the l04th Pennsylvania Volunteers :-"I
never knew any one missed so much. When II be-
came known among the men and officers that he
had been seriously wounded by a shell from the
Rebel batteries, every one seemed depressed and
disheartened." This IS a noble record, comag,
as it does, from one whom We know to be man
Of truth aud honor, and himself respected by all
who know him.

special 60 The Evening Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, August by the arrival OF
the mail steamer this morning from City
Point we have news from the Army of the
Potomac of not 80 encouraging nature as
we had been led t, expect.
It appears that after the Rebel fort was
blown up, General Ledlie's Division, Of the
9th Corps, pushed through the ruins to the
second line of the enemy's inrenchments,
when other portions Of our army pressed for
ward and engaged the enemy on the right
and left of Ledlie.
The Rebels, however, still remained on the
right and left OF the demolished fort, in their
front line Of iutrenchments, OF which the fort
formed part Thus the Rebels were able TO
pour a steady fire into our troops, who were
resting in front Of their second line, while the
Rebel artillery belched forth heavy fire from
right, left, and front.
The enemy charged several times upon our
lines, and were handsomely repulsed. About
nine o'clock in the morning. General Ferrero,
"Colored," Division made charge to carry
the crest of a hill beyond the second line OF
intrenchments.
They advanced well under heavy fire, but
broke and retreated in disorder. All efforts
TO re. form this division were in vain. About
this time Humphreys Brigade of Wilcox's
Division assaulted the front line Of intrench-
ments to the left of the demolished fort.
For time they were successful, and held a
portion of the line.
1t soon became evident that to carry the
Rebel works was impossible, and about 2
o'clock p. NJ. our forces retired and assumed
their old positions.
Our loss was about two thousand killed,
wounded, and missing. We captured two
hundred prisoners.
General Bartlett, Colonel Marshall, Of the
Cd Brigade, and Colonel Wild, of the 55th
Massachusetts, were captured.

REVIEW OF TIE SITUATION.


WASHINGTON, July 3l.-Despatches herewith
transmitted bling betO,e tn imagination the
opening Of a grand 0it.le-drama, which began
with early sawD Of Sa ur ay.
Unlike customary skrmishing, with which the
INST sal les Of battle begin, the comb L of Satur.
day opens midst explosions OF mines aud the
rude Gamer OF IA huntIed pieces Of artillery. Un-
happily the curtain dTops with the first Act OF the
drama, and the rest, whether OF glory or disas.
ter, is silence. We sha have 70 wait vet a
few hours ere We know the results of the contest
Never before during tic rginii campa gn mas
the military situation inspired at ouce such inte-
rest and such soliciude. For six weeks che army
has remained IN apparent deadlock In front OF
the lines Of Petersburg. The passage of the imes
bad exhausted the category of possible haaking
movements with Richmond as an objective.
A movement to the left, though presenting the
high strategic advantage of planting the army on
the enemy's lines of railroad communication
seemed 70 expose too much our own communi-
caIiOns to be adventured. A movement to the
right, SO long as the enemy's position az Bermuda
Hundred was unassatlable, would only carry the
army once more TO the northern side Ofthe james.
For season 1t seemed TO DO General Grants
intention 20 force the enemy by cavalry raids 70
an abandonment Of his strong position. Hence
followed the operations of Wilson and Kautz
which, though vigorously and successfully exc
cutod, ana which, no doubt, caused = severe
temporary strain on the Rebel CommiEsariat and
QuGrermasters Departments, did not prove ade-
quate to-the desired end.
In this state of facts there seemingly re-
mained, therefore, only TO essay once more on
the lines of Petersburg those bloody assaults
which, tried n score of times on the ntrench-
nents of Spottsylvania aud the Chickahominy,
served bat TO show an incompatible EalOr op-
posed 70 obstacles too formidable 10 be over
come. The most hopeful could not see a solu-
ton OF thds most perpexizg problem, while the
less hopeful declared the snmmer campaign at
an end.
MeanWhile, one man has been day and night
