General Grant nj Home.

A few years ago, there lived in Ca
lena, Illinois, y retired army captain,
who assisted his father in the leather
business, and lived on a salary oil $40
per month. His manner of lite was
very plain, and his circle of acquaint-
anc, ) limited. He was rather unlor-
na;e IN his business affairs, aud Was
MOI considered exactly lie man to rise
III the word. His manner was aIwa, 5
thoughtful, and h. seem d more given
10 r. tiecii0n than to action. Al The
break ing u Of the war he raised "A

Sion OF the member Of Congress from

pointment, aud iett Tor The field al The
head OF a regiment.
Such was tue departure Of Lt.Gen.
Grant from Galena, some over four
years ago. A few days since he re-
turned TO his former home, after la
bors and triumphs such as few mn
have accomplished. lie passed
through crowded streets under trium-
phal arches TO a house which his for
mer neighbors had purchased and fur
nished for the use of their distinguish

We have received the first numbers OF
a very neat and attractive NterdrioPo-
ltico Sunday paper, named the South,
published in New Orleans. 1t is quite
readable, and filled with interesting
original matter, from the pen Of its able
editor, John w. Overall, formerly lite
rary editor of the Delta, then of the
True Delta, and finally, during the war,
of the Richmond Punch, a poet of dis
tinction, and as tall as Willis. In poli-
tics, the South is of the South Southey,
and is bent on the total humiliation of
the Northern radicals. Why choose a
name that must perpetuate cruel amino
stiles, heartburnings and arrangements?
We do not see papers and magazines
with sectional titles in any other portion
of the country. To forget that there is
any North, South, East or West, should
be the earnest desire of every true
American. Nevertheless, we welcome
the South, and recommend it to those
who wish to take a good weekly paper
from the far South. Three other papers
are about to be started in New Orleans
the Star, Crescent and Bulletin.

WITNESSES o WIRz.-Mr. G., HI,
Emmerson, who was sent South a few
weeks ago to subpoena witnesses before
the Wirz military commission, returned
to this city a few days ago. Mr.. En-.
merson had a list of sixty witnesses t,
summon for the defence, most of them
being rebel officers and soldiers who
have been at various times on duty at
Andersonville prison. He visited the
States of North and South Carolina.
Georgia, Alabama and Florida. :,
In the list of those summoned are the
commissary, quartermaster, and sutler
of the unreasonable post. Officers Of
all grades have been summoned for
Wirz. 2
A large number of the witnesses
named by Wirz could not be found, they
having gone to Mexico and Texas
Others did not want to come for fear
they would be punished for their cruelty
towards our prisoners. Mr.. Emmerson
succeeded in summoning thirtv-three
witnesses out of the list WASHINGTON

letter from Madame LIE Vert, of Mobile,
now temporarily stopping in New York:
NEW TcsK, FlrfA AVENUE HorrL, Aug, 8, 1865.
Dear Friend: ! write to tell you of
u safe arrival here at this magnificent
hotel. We had a most delightful voy-
ace on to New York. There was not
wave sufficient to rock the immense
steamer the North Star, or a cloud to
dim the sunlight during all the weeks
of our sea wanderings. IThTT
I find New York full of Confederate
offieers-many just out of prison. They
are most kindly treated here. At a SUI
perb supper party given to us by Mrs.
u, there were five Confederate GEN
erals-Marmaduke and Wheeler among
the cumberland colonies, majors, and
captains in profusion.
The Confederates are dined and supped
by the very men they fought against.
Every one expresses the highest admit
ration of the Confederates, and 1 have
not yet heard one word of bitterness
against the South. Two publishers have
called on me, hearing L intended writ

most gallant man in the world, and the
coolest in battle.o. o,s 4sersr va1t
Although we have not sent our cards
to any one, yet many of ourfriends have
found us out, and throngs have been to
see me, inviting us to dinners and par
ties Supper parties at this season y and
every one manifesting the greatest re-
spect and delightto see-us once more in
New York. aE0YQTI g8WEW
Tits said that there is an effort being
made by politicians here to get up an
other revolution in the South. So much
money was made during the war that
they wish it to begin again. God grant
it never, never may.
An old friend to whom my beloved
papa rendered some great service in the
''long, long ago." invited us all too ac-
company himself, wife and family to

I would gladly have gone; but o. and
