THOMAS AND GRANT.--A correspondent of a
Western paper gives the following as the
facts regarding the alleged movement to su-
persede Gen. THOMAS, just before the battles
at Nashville:
"Grant autographed Thomas that he was
rather slow in moving, and ordered him to
attack Hood. Thomas sent back reply
saying that he was not ready to move, and
could not move until his. plans were CON-
pleted, and if Grant had any man that he had
more confidence in than himself, to send
him at once to relieve him, and he would
take subordinate position. Grant replied,
that there was not a man in the army that he
had more confidence in, and to go ahead and
do what he thought was best. Grant said,
probably the distant view he had taken was
wrong, and thus the matter rested"

IN WINTER.
BAYARD TAYLOR.

The valley stream is frozen
The hills are cold and bare,
And the wild white bees Of Winter,
Swarm in the darkened air.
I look on the naked forest
Was IL ever green in Junef
Did &c burn with gold and crimson,
In the dim autumnal noon
I look on the barren meadow
Was It ever hesped with hay
Did it hide the grassy cottage
Where the skylark's children lay 2
look on the desolate garden:
Isit true the rose was there
And the woodbine's musky blossoms,
And the hye..cth's purple hair
Hook on the heart and marvel
If love we're ever its own,-
II the spring of promise frightened,
And the summer Of passion shown.
Is the stem of bliss but withered,
And the root survives the blast
Are the seeds OF the Future sleeping
. Under the leaves of the Pastf
All, yesi for a Thousand Aprils
The frozen germs shall grow,
And the dews of a thousand Summers,
Wait in the womb of the snovl

to raise his children to a condition better

Corn SUGAR.-The Buffalo Commercial of
the 7th states that the parties interested in
the recent discovery of sugar to be manufac-
tured from corn are actively engaged in max
ing preparations for the extensive manufac-
ture of sugar by the new method, and that
they will be prepared to put new staple up
on the market in few days The CONNER
cial adds: Developments which have been
made since the matter was first announced by
us, have more than confrmed.the statements
made at that line, and more than justify the
anticipations we then INDUCED in as to the
complete success of the enterprise.
Every sugar consumer viii be glad to hear
this, and will hopefully await the advent
of the 'new staple" in large quantities at
cheap rates.
