CHARACTER OF GEN. sGRANT.--Grant is 8 brave man. not only fearless in all necessary exposurc of his person in battle, but cool, cal- cuiating, and clearly administrative in danger A splendid horseman, and sof great personal endurance. perhaps he is seen to best advan- tage on the field of battle directing the moves ments. ss sa.aas
 He is true man true in his aims, and in his adherence to them; true in speech and in act. He has no tortuous policy, no subterra- mean movements. He does not parade his thoughts, indeed. but he does not mean one thing and say another. He has no talking gift and he cuItivates silence, which, ifspeec6 be human, the philosopher has declared to be divine. He is no boaster no temporizer, no dreamer; he builds no Arcadian castles. He is simply straight forward actor; between his thoughts, words, and deeds there is an exact accordance and very often the thought and deeds dispense with words-always, when possible. .
 He is a man of strong will and great mental endurance, not dsheartened by disaster al-- ways ready to repair and retrieve it. Vicks- burg in especial demonstrated this. Repulsed at the north, he tried the cutoff. When that would not do, he landed on the,south. Threat ened oy the Rebel armies gathering in his rear he besieged the town Repulsed in his at tempts to storm the works, he pushed forward the siege, and at length Vicksburg fell, because Grant adhered to his purpose.
 lie Is generous man, ready to give full credit to his co workers and subordinates He scorns to receive praise which is their due, and tells of the invaluable aid and cooperation of Sherman. McPherson and others with no stin- ted enlogium. With such a General, men can work for such chief they will do all in their power.
 He is an unambitious man. This needs a word ofexplanation Ambitious men seek, as the great end of their labors, self-exulation. Grant has thus far worked for the good of the country. Each battle has been for it without uterior view. If God sends honest fame at the reward, he does not disdain it but it must be sequel not an aim. Heaven preserve him long from this "last infrmity of noble sninds!" It ruins all it touches. 1t has al- ready paralyzed some of our best men.
 In concluding word he is strong iron, liv- ing busy, honest. capable, self sustained com nader, who will plan wisely, fight terribly, fol low up his victories and leave the rest to Providence, in whom, after all must be our trust. He has large and varied talents. He has what Guizot calls the genius of common sense,' and with that the power and determi- nation to go ahead" which we have lacked more than anything else in this war.
