Lieutenant General Grant.

The appointment of L. 5. Grant to the
command of the army of the United States
is the signal for new life and important
movements Throughout, the military. No
ostentation, no sounding of bugles or beat
ing of drums, no proclamations or mani
fes,os, no boast,ng Of what is to be done
or will be done; but silent, telling work
is all that is known Of A thorough re.or.
ganization of commands and comma ders,
poor officers removed and good ones In
stated, tried brigades and divisions placed
in the front. and all necessary prepara-
tions inaugurated for an earnest effort to
crush the rebellion with the spring cam.
paign. 1t is stated that General Grant
thinks that Richmond should be captured
before any other place, and the moveme nts
now on foot tend to confirm the opinin that
tina, is his belief. This spring campaign
is to be the campaign the war, aud should
Gen. Grant succeed in capturing the rebel
capital, he will twice have earned his i'm
portant position, and prove 100 that he is
the General of our army. The indications
COW are, that by the first day of June,
1854, the rebellion will be "squashed," or
we will be "squashed" trying to perform
that desirable job.

THE WEIGHT OF A TEAR.


A pph of scales before him, rich man sat and
weighed,
apiece Of gold-a widows all, and unto her he
asaid -
"YOurc is not the proper weight, SO take it back
, again, a..
Or sellit me for half its worth it lacks single
grain"
With fearful eyes the widow said, "0h! weigh it
5, once more: ,a.
Ipray you be not 50 exact, nor drive me from your
door"
"Why see yourself, it's undrr weight your tears
are of no avail
The second time he tries it, it just bears down the
scale;
But little guessed that rich man, who held his gold
= SO dear,
Thstithe extra weight which bore it down Ind been

ANoTHEa JOKE FROM "OLD ABE Mr..
LuroIn is uncommonly full of jokes at the

ing illustration
Complain, was made to him by Western
Democratic Congressman, a'eR days ago, that
the Colonel of one of the cavalry regiments
from the Cougres>man's State had sen, home
eight hundred and sixty votes, of which there
we're ,sver hundred and ninety for Mr. Lin
col,,, and the balaucr of fifty for Mcclellan.
Now, Mr.. Lincoln" complained the irate NJ.
c., that regiment has not to-day in its ranks,
according to The Coones nwn uf6ciaI return,
one hundred and fifty men present for duty.
The fact is" continued the Congressman,
'.tIlat the Colonel and Adjutaut just took the
old muster roll of the regiment as it left the
State over two years agu, and returned the
votes of every man they saw theron just as it
pleased themselves" The complainant wound
up " ith vigorous appeal for justice against
the offending officer. "My dear sir" replied
the President, rubbing his lean hands together
and chuckling away down to the bottom of his
boufs, ''it would seem that these officers have
taken my words, there is nobody hurt, some
wl,a, too literally; but the matter of cnrrec-

Execution.

Several paragraphs have been published
from the latest Yankee papers, announcing the
intention to shoot six Confederate soldiers in
retaliation for six Yankees who were killed
during General Prices expedition. The MUIR
des took place at St. Louis on the 1st instant
Six Confederates were elected from the prison
ers in the Gratiot street prison, but one of them
proving to have been teamster, his name was
stricken from the death roll and that of George
T. Bunch, of the Third Missouri Cavalry, was
substituted. The men were not informed of
their fate until the day of execution. The St.
Louis Democrat gives the following details of
their murder
At about two o'clock, on Saturday afternoon,
the Blk fnen were taken from the prison, placed
in a covered wagon, and escorted to the place
of execution by detachment of the Tenth
Kansas, followed by number of other col.
diers, and by few citizens. Fort No. 1, a
short distance south of Lafayette Park, was
selected as the place of execution, and to
that point the procession marched without
music.
On the wesN side of the fort six posts had
been set in the ground, each with seat at
tached, and each tied with a strip of white cot
ton cloth, afterwards used in bandaging the
eyes of the prisoners. Fifty.four men we're
selected as the executioners, forty-four belong
ing to the Tenth Kansas and ten to the Forty.
first Missouri. Thirty-six of these composed
the front firing party, eighteen being reserved
in case they should not do the work effectual.
ly.
About three o'clock the prisoners arrived
on the ground and sat down, attached to the
posts. They all appeared to be more or less
affected, but, considering the circumstances,
remained remarkably firm. Father Ward and
Rev. Mr.. McKim spoke to the men in their
last moments, exhorting' them to put their trus.
in God. The row of posts ranged north aud
south, and at the first on the north was Asa
V. Ladd, on his left was George Nichols, next
Harvey H. Blackburn, George T. Bunch,
Charles W. Minniken and James w. Gates.
Ladd and Blackburn sat with perfect calmness,
with their eyes fixed on the ground, and did
not speak. Nichols gave no sign of emotion
at first, but sat with seeming Indifference,
scfaping the ground with his heel. He asked
one of the surgeons if there was any hope of a
postponement, and being assured that there
was none, he looked more serious, and frequent
