cured. But We do know of hundreds OF

Some time after the evacuation OF
Richmond the congregation OF eoiored
folks worshipping at - Street Babtist
church, determined to be mp with the
times, procured the services OF an emil
nent negro Divine from that Hub OF the
Universe, Boston. Under the 1nsplra-

darkies soon learned,-wha they mad

superior to "all the world and the rest OF
mankind" and many of then, determined

rapid and terrible blows on that army, in
the "Wilderness.n with tile determination
to light it out upon that line,p and to figh,

attitude of sheer defense, from which nc
was never able to recover bimsclfi HAVING
thus crippled Lee Grants one aim was &c
hold him until he could make sure of his
entire army. He did not therefore move
upon Richmond, as he might have done
successfully, from the north, bGt striking
at THE key of Lees supplies, he sat down
camly to await the result of Shermans grand
campaign in Georgia aud the Carolinas
which was part of his programme for tbs
capture of Lee. And when at last, almost
at the appointed day General Sherman had
fulfilled his task of cutting off at once Iee's
supplies, and his retreat, when Sheridan had
swept the Shenandoah, and Thomas held
the mountain passes of Tennessee, then
Grant struck the final blow, and in five days
accomplished what he had been as many
months in maturing. We know not whether
most to admire, the terrible energy of the
battles of the Wilderness, or the calm tenac-
ity of the siege of Petersburg, or tho com.
prchensive sweep of the Georgia fanking,
or the rapid onslaught and pursuit at last
but in the combination of qualities here
presented, we have beyond dispute the
greatest general of the age l.sa or =9R
General Grant has been favored In his
subordinates Sherman, Thomas, Sheridan,

that he knows how to choose his generals

the course of the Lieutenant General Not

spoken, that could he tortured to "a political
use. Indeed, he has not written or spoken
at all except upon topics connected with
his official work, and then always in the
fewest and simplest words. Neither the
devices of New York politicians, the tempta-
tions of New York dinners, nor tile uproa-
rious cries of New York rhobs, during his
recent visits to this metropolis, could exort
from him anything beyond the expression
of thanks l.r. -.. ,.n .4.

thus far upheld him in his position from

somebody in the house by dropping the
reius and sitting double with his elbows on

as cricket, with a tremendous black rib

waited for what was farther to lie said.
