IT is curious fact that General Grant
has not yet paid avisit to his greatprize,
the city of Richmond. More ostentatious
generals than'he would have entered the
city in triumph Immediately npnn its
capture; but, with self-restraint worthy
of highest praise, he denied himself that
very natural personal qualification, and
marched with his army To complete his
victory by compelling the surrender iof
his great opponent Even after that
event he did not care to look at Rich
mond, but hurried back to Washington
to stop the further enforcement of the
draft and curtail the military expenses
of the Government. If there could be
anything more captivating to IN Ameri-
can public than great military achieve
'ments, It would be the reticence, mod
,esty and transformations silpRlicity such.

sueech Of senator Guthrie.

We find in the Cincinnati Gazette the
following brief sketch of speech deliv-
cred at Louisville last week by Hon.
James Ghthrie, who will take his seat III
the next Congress as United States Sen
ator from Kentucky and occupy there a
commanding position as a leader of the
Democratic and Conservative side:
REMARKS BY HON. JAMES GUTHRIE AT
LOUISVILLE.
Hon. James Guthrie said he scarcely
knew what to say on that solemn occa-
sion-exoept to repeat what he said four
years ago-that this Union can never be
severed. Let no man be so deluded as to
believe sach thing possible. he had
seen and conversed with Mr.. Lincoln but
three times in his life. He was political
" at variance with him, yet he had yield
ed him THE support due from every good
citizen in the trying circumstances by
which he was surrounded, and as far as
he could consistently with his cenyic-
tions of duty. No event in his life had
shocked him so much as the assassination
of President Lincoln. 1t seems that he
was to have the homer of suppressing the
rebellion, and he (Guthrie) was willing
that he should reap all the honors of it.
As the State of Kentucky had sent him
to the Senate of the United States, he
intended to have supported Mr.. Lincoln's
administration as far as his convictions
of duty and of the public policy would
permit him He said that it was more
unfortunate for the rebels that Mr.. Lin
coin fell by assassination than if he had
died by any other means. The heart OF
the nation was for peace, with a restored
Union, and the people looked to President
Lincoln to give the country peace. His
(the Presitlent's) heart was in the work,
and all believed he would soon give the
country peace He said President John
son, like the late President came from
the people. He had served them with
ability in Congress, as Governor of his
State, and in the United States Senate,
and he had strong hope in him. He trust
ed the new President would bring to the
discharge of his duties the same earnest
ness of purpose of the man he succeeds
Coming from the people as he does, he
will naturally obey the will of the peo-
pie in shaping the policy of the govern
ment during his administration.

from the Missouri D


DR.. R. @. Anderson, of Kansas, is at
present in ST. Louis, as the representa-
tive of the Mexican Emigration Aid So
ciety. He visited Mexico (where he
spent some years. and returned from
there in 1856. Previous to leaving,
President Comonfort and other promi-
nent leaders of the liberal party earnest
ly besought him to aid their cause in the
United States. General Ortega publicly
stated to DR. Anderson, a few days since,
that with a fen hOusaad 4mericans to
back the Mexicans, Macmillan could be
driven into the Gulf of Mexico. The
speedy close of our home difficulties will
turn foot-loose tens of thousands oftried
warriors, to whom this work would he
scarcely more than pastime. He as
sured the doctor that all Americans
would be welcomed enthusiastically by
the Mexicans, that the largest and rich
est tracts would be granted to them and
every facility offered whereby their m
terests and welfare might be promoted.
To those entering the service hand
some remuneration is made in gold, and
besides regular pay, munificent bounties
and grants of land are offered, while to
thosewho aim more at the material de-
velopnent of the country, the liberal
government makes eaaally rich sssd -ad-
vantageous offers. The mission of Gem
eral Ortegas tOzaM ashingten aandx New
York isnainly th.a.yiew of obtaining
American assistance, and to promote the
success of such organizations as are rep
resented by Dr.; Anderson.

Texas 10 secede from the COnfederacy-
Meeting Between Gen. Wallace and
the Rebel General Slaughter.

From the New Orleans Plcayune, April ~
"a Trustworthy gentleman, who has
lust returned from the Rio Grande," gives
the following / important facts: The
steamship. Clinton carried out 20 Braz0s
Santiago Major Gen. Lew Wallace, who
was sent to the Rio Grande on special
mission, supposed to concern the eXpul-
sion of our consul at Matamoras by Maxi
milan, and the return of rebel deserters
by Mejia.
The result of the consul affair is not
known 1t is not even known that any
explanation whatever was demanded;
but the conference with Mejia was en-
tirely satisfactory That officer had SIM
ply entered into an arrangement with
the rcnel General Slaughter for the de-
livery of murdcrers and thieves escaping
from their respective States. General
Slaughter sent note to General Wal
lace, requesting an interview, which was
granted, and the meeting took place at
Point Isabel, Texas. The. best feeling
existed between the Union and rebelpar-
ties, and a, good social time was enjoyed.
The result was that the Clinton, bearing
a Colonel of Wallace's staff, with dis
patches for General Candy, was sent back
to New Orleans, with orders to land at
the wharf at Galveston on her return -
General Wallace remained in Texas. He
is probably now at Galveston, awaiting
the arrival of tire Clinton. She sails for
that port today. The same informant
states that the rebel leaders of the Trans
Mississippi army, fully convinced of the
utter hopelessness of the cause, have re
solved to secede therefrom, and proclaim
the independence of Texas as sovereign
State, preparatory, probably, to seeking
readmissi0n into the old Union. The
Brownsville Rdnchero bitterly denouuces
this scheme, which proves that there
must be some foundation for it.

duty aud devotion to the cause, but press
on, uumindful of the FIRE ia front and rear.
This would all be very fine and eucour-
aging, if true; but evidence ia accumulat-
ing that soldiers, equally with civilians,
are losing heart in the cause. During
Sheruan's march from Atlanta, there was
scarcely g show of resistance on the part
of the enemy, and they abandoned ssvau-
nah without struggle. Hardee, following
the example of Beauregsrd at Branchvillep
decamped from Charleston without firing
gun, and the Richmond Wing informs US
that WheeIer's cavalry are more interested
ia plunderiDg the defenceless citizens of
Columbia than in crossing sabres with the
foe. But the most marked instance of de-
moralization and despair on the part of the
rebel soldiery, is revealed in the recent af-
fair between Sheridan and Early, at Fish.
erville, Va. The latter had fully thirteen
hundred infantry at his disposal, drawn up
in a commanding position. and able, il so
disposed, to have made most stubborn

The oil men OF West Virginia are great

struck. came up to this place purposely
to see them for myself, knowing how prone
some people were to exaggera!e-or rather
to take inferences for facts-in regard to
products of new wells.
The wells referred to are distant from
each other from six to eight miles, and all
on Hughes river aud its tributaries, and
about six miles above what ia known as

anxious, like myself to see what this new
well, in q new location, was really doing
The oil had risen, should Judge, within
about one hundred feet OF the top of the
well, and, although the force of the gas
was clearly visible in the slight rumbliug
and the intermittent bubbles, it was too
feeble to throw out the oil. But all the
usual tests were applied by practical oil
men to test the capacity of the well, and
they were all eminently satisfactory. By
all the appliances of improved band pumps
no diminution of the volume of oil in the
we'll could be effected, and am certain that
exceeding twenty barrels of oil was thrown.

The other wells found not quite so sat-

six miles from where write this letter,

TIE military news continues to be of the
most hopeful character. sheridan's raid
excites attention for it's boldness and de.
structiveness. We are without details of
it however. 1t is minated that the gov.
eminent is about to take advantage of the
buOyant prospects of the situation to con.
tinue tine Z 30 loan after the current series
shall have been exhausted. Itis altogether
likely that the present rates of subscrip-
ton can be kept up indefinitely. We
may be sure that the policy of Secretary
McCuIloch is not to issue any more green
backs, but to fund those already out as
rapidly as possible.
