General Grant in the soutb.

The Mobile Register & Advertiser seems
inclined to hoist General Grants name in
connection with the Presidency. 1t says: ::
" Fortune has placed President johnson in
thegap of freedom, but he may fail, or try
ing, fall like Leonidas and his little band
at Thermopyle. In either event, General
Grant possesses great qualities and rare
gifts to fit him to take up the flag of the
constitution and bear it in triumph. Tire

of the United States, afTer fur y1aro of
fiery ordeal, the idol of the army and the
object of high esteem and respect in the
South as well as in the North, where could
the Democratic conservatives of the nation
find a worthier leader, or the restored
United States q more honest President2
As political currents are now running,
these thoughts may become prophecies be-
fore three short years roll away"

A significant Occurrence.



MONTGOMERY, Dec "A, 1865.
An occurrence took place in the Ala
bama Legislature day or so ago, which
is worth mention, as an indication of the
loyalty which prevails in this headquar-
tiers, where Yancey, Sam Rice, Tom Watts
and others Illuminated treason. General
Woods, the commander of Alabama, has
been in the city during the session Of the
Legislature. Gen. Thomas, not unknown
to lame as leader of the Union armies,
and the commander of four states ALA
bama included was in the city last week
on official business.
Gen. Swayne OF the Freedmen's Bureau
was here, watching the attempted legisla-
tion discriminating against freedmen, and
in communication with the Governor.
That august body, sworn to support the
United otates Constitution, and intended
tnaI OF New 6rK, with the nag over the
Capitol Tor it ought to be there), took no
official (and but little private) nAice of
these distinguished representatives of the
nation-invIted them not to its halls-sent
no committee TO wait upon them-ignored
them entirely. Well, this might be con-
sidered a sin of omission-a specimen Of
bad breeding-a sullen manifestation Of
disrespeet, which hurt nobody but the
Legislature and the SLate-and so it might
have passed by.
But mark the contrast General Wade
Hampton, of South Carolina, made his
appearance in Montgomery, be, an unpar-
dOned rebel, lately IN arms against the
United States. Instantly Mr. I. B.
Bethea, of Montgomery, lately specially
pardoned by the President, rises in has
seat, offers d resolution to honor Hamp-
ton, to invite him to the Hall of the
House. and that a committee Of three be
appointed to wait upon and escort him in.
IL was carried, mem. con. Bethea, Gibson,
and Worthy were made said committee.
They, a guard of honor, escorted the dis
unguished unpardOned enemy Of the
United States Government to the Hall;
the members rose to receive him; Speaker
Cooper made glorifcation speech Of well
come; and General Hampton happily
responded, complimenting Alabama ex-
ertions In and devotion ~ the cause, the
attempt 10 overthrow the Union and the
Government and the gallantry displayed
by her sons. Then a recess took place
that all the members might be introduced
to the General and get lock of his hair,
may be. But poor Swayne, Wood and
Thomas, they were nObOdies, and repre-
sented the hated tyranny at Washington
the Union.
About the same time, the Legislature
adopted memorial to the President, ask
ing that the troops be removed from the
SLate-that they (the Legislaturel were
loyal, and could vouch forthe entire State.

The st. Louis Democrat says " Lien
teuant Thomas 4. Sallee, of the Thirteenth
Missouri Cavalry, communicates the fol-
lowing deeply interesting statement from
Mound Station, Colorado Territory:
"'On the 27th of November, 1865, a
small boy supposed to be about twelve
years of age, OF rather dark complexion.
black HAIR and black eyes, came into a
rancho (near Mound Station OF the over :

military at Mound Station, on hearing of
his arrival, Immediately brought him TO
my station. He is now here, and is learn
ing to talk very fast. He informs me
that the Sioux Indians have had him cap
tive for many Years, but he don't know
how many. He don't know anything
about his parents, but suppOses that they
were killed by the Indians at the time Of
his capture. He neither knows his name
nor where he was captured. He left the
Indians on the oath inst, eighty miles
south of this place, on the Republican
river, three thousand in number. He
luckily made his escape on pony, but
running his pony 10 death the first night.
he was then compelled to take it afoot
for three days, arriving at the rancho on
the evening of the 9th. All that he had
to eatafter leaving the Indians until he
arrived at the rancho, was one crow that
he found dead, and a piece of dead OK.

lLOndon Correspondence Cincinnati Gazette.l
A very curious case and one that will
interest pathologists, has just occurred
here. A young man aged twenty-seven,
came home the other day from his work,
which was on board barge on the large
Regents Canal, which flows through the
northern part of London, and stated to his
landlady that whilst there he saw the wa
ter looking "very pretty, all manner of
beautiful colors," and that he was quite
dazzled, and could not help looking at it
for some time There was a dreadful
stencil, however, coming from the beauti-
full eolors, and he became i'll, and was
unable to eat during the rest of the day.
He continued i'll until Wednesday, when
he became alarmingly affected. Mrs.
Sarah Hayling, his landlady, deposed that
his eyes became suddenly red and swollen;
'bludders of blood an inch long appeared
about the lids, and in a short time the eyes
became black jelly-like mass. The de-
ceased said he could not see and a doctor
was Immediately sent for. Mr.. G. w.
Walsh, NJ. r. c. s. said that he found the
deceased insensible and dying. The body
was swollen, and the eyes loaded with
blood and staring. There were spots of
effused blood over the body.
Dr. Denny, who saw the case with wit
ness, said that it was the worst instance of
fever that he had seen in all his practice
either in India or England. 1t was in fact,
the black fever of the books. Witness be-
lieved that it could have been caused, as
stated by the deceased, by the inhalation
of poisonous vapor. In answer to the
coroner, the officer of the court said that he
had seen dazzlingly beautiful colors in the
Regents canal near Cambridge-heath, and
they were very fascinating TO the eye. He
believed that they were caused by the
refuse matter from chemical works on the
banks of the canal. Mr. Clark, a juror,
said that he believed the exhalations which
caused the deceased's death, were the result
of an accidental overflow of poisonous mat
ters from either the Independent or the
Imperial Gas Works, which were both
situated on the canal banks.

The Montreal Witness says Of the act
prohibiting the importation of cattle into
the United States, on accoont Of the Wind
erpest, that "the effect on Canada will be
practically very little, ipasmuch as we
have, according to all accounts, sold too
large proportion of our cattle already.
In fact, the fear of losing Reciprocity,
and the high prices last autumn, made
Canada sell nearly all her disposable grain
before the recent fall in prices took place,
and more than all her disposable cattle be-
fore this prohibitory act. We presume,
therefore, that Canada would be more
likely to import than export cattle"
