Letter from Gen, Grant to Gen. But.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14-The following Is
the letter of instructions from Gen. Grant
to Gen. Butler, which is appended to Gen.
Buffers report of the Wilmington expedi.
ton:
HEADQUARTERS ARMIES OF TIE o. s.,
CRY POINT, Dec. 6, 1s64.-To MAJ. Gen
Butler, Commanding Army of he james
General: The first object of the expedition
under Gen. Weltzel is to close to the enemy
the port of Wilmington. If successful in
this, the second will be the capture OF
Wilmington ITSELF
There are reasonable grounds to hope for
SUCCESS if advantage can be taken of the
great part of the epemy's force now looking
after Sherman in Georgia.
The directions you have given for the
number and equipment of the expedition
are all right, except in the uuimportant
of entrenching tools to be taken.
The object of the expedition will be
gained by efecting landing on the main
land, between Cape Fear River and the
north entrance to the river. Should such
landing be effected, whether the enemy
hold Fort Fisher or the batteries guarding
the entrance to the river, there the troops
should entrench themselves, and by CO.
operating with the Navy effect landing
and the capture of those places. These in
our hands, the naval force could enter the
harbor, and the port of Wilmington would
be sealed.
Should Fort Fisher and the point of land
on which it is built fall into the hands of
our troops Immediately on landing, it will
be worth the attempt to capture Whining
ton by a forced march and surprise.
If time is consumed in gaining the first
object of the expedition, the second will
become a matter of after consideration, the
details for the execution of which are
entrusted to the officers Immediately in
command of the troops.
Should the troops under Gen. Weitzel
fail to effect landing at or near Fort
Fisher, they will be returned to the army
operating against Richmond without delay.

The upper classes among the people Of
Richmond profess to be confident of the
success of the oonfederacy, but the poorer
classes who have severely felt the effect Of
the deprecated currency, are heartily sick
and tired of war, and are anxious for any
mode of relief.

FRAHKFoRT, KY, Jan. 14.-The speech
of the Hon. W. R. Kingsley before the
Legislature to-day elected much remark.
He said he had heretofore sustained legal
enactments favoring slavery, because he
believed slavery in some respects benef-
cent to both races, although he had never
believer in the inherent righto one man
to hold another man in bondage; but that
those benefits had ceased to occur, and the
rebellion was responsible therefor. He
justified the act of the Administration in
regard to slavery, and vindicated the right
of the people to amend the Consultation
and abolish slavery, believing the Union
to be the immutable basis of government,
and the Constitution its mutable policy,
to be changed as necessity or e1pediency
required. BE concluded by saying that
Kentucky required that the Constitution
be amended, as slavery had retarded her
development in the past, and in the future
would more seriously check her advance
ment.

UM-A Doc F1eHr.-On Market Street

w-A Doc FIeHT.-On Market Street
there resides very digniied dog that has
built himself reputation as fighter. In
former years he vas disposed to be rather
quarrelsome, and was in the habit of jump.
ing upon every dog that came in his way,
but latterly he has doae no more fighting
than seemed to be absolutely necessary to
the preservation of his dignity and rep
utasion, and is very rarely the aggressor.-
He reminds us very much of DR.. John
Browns description of his friend Rab. "He
is brindle and gray like Aberdeen granite,
his hair short, hard and close, like alion's,
his body thick-set, like little bull-a
sort of compressed Hercules of dog. His
head is SCARED with the record of old
wounds, sort Of series of fields of battle
ALI over it. he has the dignity and sim
plicity of great size, and having fought his
way all along the road to absolute supre-
macy, he is as mighty In his own line as
Julius Oeaser or the Duke of Wellington"
Well, on Thursday last certain logged
looking dog faucier, having heard of our
Market street friends prOwess, came to ex
amino him. After inspecting him with
practical eye, he remarked that he thought
he had dog that could whip him. he
was told to bring along his purp, and that
every facility would be afforded for fair
contest. The strange dog was forthoom-
ing at the time appointed, and after fight
of some fifteen minutes our Market street
friend came out all covered with glory and
gore. Still the dog fancier was not sat-
isfied, and the next evening was appointed
for renewal of the contest. The second
fight took place on the evening appointed,
and quite crowd of sporting people as
sembled to witness the engagement. After
fierce fight of half an hours duration
the Market street dog was declared the
winner, and now rests secure upon his
we'll won lsurels.

E@~ SUSPECTED NEGRO IscEnD1AR1Es..

E@N SUSPECTED MICRO IScEaD1AR1Es.-
We noticed on Saturday morning the ar
rest OF twonegroes, boy and girl, upon
the charge of burning the barn of their
master, Mr.. George steenrod, who resides
on the peninsula, east of the city. They
had an examination before Esquire BuIger
and were committed for further hearing.
Mr.. steenrod, who ia mute, gave his evi-
dence in writing. He stated that he had
suspected the girl, who is about eighteen
years of age, of burning his barn and
also of attempting to burn his residence
Her object was to force Mr.. S. to move to
the city, 'as she preferred city to coun-
try life," At the time the barn took FIRE
the girl pretended to be sick in bed, and
her actions we're generally suspicious.
The boy, upon being questioned closely,
iutimated that white boy, by the name of
Reels, was the guilty party, and he was
accordingly arrested. There appears to be
very little evidence against any of the
parties. y
