An exchange tells this story:
awhile General Grant wss n Aking his
tripto Montreal, it was currently reported
at Manchester, N. r., that he would pass
through that city over the Concord BAIL
road. So the Waggisb ticket master at that
ststion informed few friends one morning
that General Grant was expected on the
morning train. Accordingly at that time
q large crowd assembled, and when the
train came they were grati6ed with the
sight Of large, new engine bearing the
name of our fortunate soldier
"Among the victims of this misplaced
curiosity was jocose lawyer, Familiarity
known IS "Sam," who had seen the Gem

Of Blackstone saw the engine and the sell
at the same time, and, eOmprehending his
situation at glance, bolted incontinently
for the street and his Office As he reached

It is confidently entertained in many

A PLAUSIBLE Trick,

The Ouyshogs County Democratic Con-
vention on Saturday adopted the following
resolution, reported by its Committee on
Resolutions:
ResolUed, That as the mechanics and Ia
boring men are the bone and sinew of the
country, and IS the public veal largely
depends upon their prosperity and intelli-
gence, therefore the hours OF the day should
be 80 divided, as 70 sff5rd not only time
for that personal culture enjoyed by more
favored classes.
The resolution was probably drawn by
the Chairman of the Committee, Mr.. j
w. Heisley, as we judge from its spirit sDd
character. But whoever its author may
be, it certainly reflects very little upon his
ingenuity, and its passage is far less com.
mendable to the sense of the Convention.

Reports say that Gen. Price is whipped in
Missouri. If so, this department is gone up
and will 90 back into the Union in very few
months. Our soldiers and citizens are very
much discouraged on many accounts. Among
them are the following, to wit: Ours has become
perfect military despotic government. Our
officers, from lieutenant up to general seem to
know nor practice but the severest tyranny. The
soldiers get no pay. The officers have all turn
ed to be perfect horde of spectators. Patri-
otism is played out. The poor non-slaveOwner
says he is fighting for the rich mans property,
and at the same time at his own expense, and all
the time wearing out his life, while his family
are at home only on sufersnce. And, dear faith
er, am of the opinion that if Mr.. Lincoln is re-
elected, the armies of this department viii dis
band about the first Of May next, except few
hangers on of The old secesh clique, who will
hover around their officers and guard them to
Mexico. Further, believe that majority Of
this people would not only vote for re-construe-
ton, but would vote for gradual emancipation
with q restoration of all their other rights as
American citizens. Such viii no doubt be the
the ultimate consequences of this unholy war.
