GENERAL GRANT AND THE ENC
LIsHmAN

An incident of General Grants visit to
Canada has recently been told us which has
not before appeared in print, and which is
warranted as true:
While in Montreal, and just after an in
terview with number of Canadian officials
and others, he appeared much disturbed, and
calling Mr.. ("Bowie-knife') Potter, our
Consul, said:-"Potter, sit down. want to
talk to you; never was so angry in my
life.n
1t seems that some one had been intro
duced to the General, and remarked gratui-
tously:
General Grant, 1 am an Englishman, and
wish to assure you that my sympathy is
and always has been with the South and
President Davis. hope your Government
will not hang him."
"And hope, sir, that he will have an i'm
partial trial, and if he is convicted, he will
be hung, as he certainly deserves to be. He
has murdered hundreds of our men; he has
starved our prisoners"
THAT sir" interrupted the other, 81
don't believe
II have unfortunately meta great many
men of your stamp who will never believe
anything against the South, but who are
ready to believe everything against the North
and the United States government"
''Sir, " said the Englishman, 81 am in the
habit of associating with gentlemen" "
'How little apt we are to improve our ad-
vantages, " was the quiet reply of the insult
ed and indignant General and the English
man walked out crest Hartford Post.

IMPORTANT LETTER FROM PREgI-
DENT LINCOLN.

AHiFohTANT LETTER FROM PREBI-
DENT LINCOLN.
WHAT HE THOUGHT TWO YEARS Aeo-HF Is
STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF UNIVERSAL suF-
FRAaE.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.--The Southern Ad-
e0ea'e, OF September 1s, publishes the fol-
loWlhg extract from letter of the late Pres
iucht Lincoln to General Wadsworth, who
ieli IN the battle OF the Wilderness The
iet'er' which is of private character, is to
oe sent to General Wadsworths family. 1t
shows that Mr.. Lincoln desired the bestowal
oi the elective franchise upon the blacks,
ana was also at an early day in favor Of
granting universal amnesty.
Mr. Lincoln says:-"You desire to know
IN the event of our complete success in the
neld the same being followed up by a loyal
and cheerful submission on the part of the
South, if universal amnesty should not be
accompanied with universal suffrage. Now,
since you know my private inclinations as to
what terms should be granted to the South
IN the contingency mentioned, l will here add
That If our success should thus be realized
and followed by such desired results, can't
see if universal amnesty is granted how, un-
der the circumstances, can avoid exacting
in return universal suffrage, or, at least, suf-
irage ON the basis of intelligence and mill
tary service.
"How to better the condition of the col
ored race has long been a study which has
attracted my serious and careful attention,
and hence think am clear and decided as
to what course shall pursue in the premises,
regarding it as religious duty, as the ma
TONS guardian of these people who have so
heroically vindicated their manhood on the
battlefield, where, in assisting to save the
life of the Republic, they have demonstrated
in blood their right to the ballot, which is
but the humane protection of the flag they
have so fearlessly defended.

THE CROPS.

The Commissioner of Agriculture, in his
statement of the first of September says that
while the wheat crop has received no further
detriment, its quality is still inferior, espe-
cially in the West, where II was affected by
by blight and rust. The quantity of old
wheat on hand has been overrated. The
crop of oats will be one of the largest ever
raised in this country. Hay was greatly
damaged at the West, very little at the East
The quality is generally good, except in
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri The
corn crop is as favorable as the oats To-
bacco is lacking only in the amount planted,
which is much less than last year. Sorghum
has thriven like the corn which it so nearly
resembles Buckwheat promises well, if
spared by the frosts Potatoes have suffered
considerably in many localities, but the
yield may still be equal to the average on ac-
count of the excess planted. The great hop
growing State is New York, which produced
o, 750, 900 pounds out of the II ,OOO, 600 raised
by the entire country in 1860. This year it
will have lost more than four-tenths of its
crop from lice. Everywhere hops have ri
pened well. Roots and gardens were never
better-The Nation.

With many a curve my banks | fret,

And many fairy fore-land set
With willow, weed and mallow.

Among my skimming swallows,

Against my sandy shadows

To join the brimming river,
For men they come, and men they go,
But go on forever-eyer-Ig go on foreverl

With here a blossom sailing;
And here and there lusty trout,
And here and there grayling;
And here and there a snowy make
Upon me as l travel;
With many a silver water-break
Above the snowy gravel
And out again l curve and flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come, and men may go,
But go on forever-ever-I go on foreverl
l steal by lawns and grassy plots,

That grow for happy lovers;

In brambly wildernesses,

And out again, curve and flow

For men may come, and men my go,
But go on forever-ever-Ig 90 on foreger!

The LOST FouND.-Two years ago the New
York papers had sensation of months
duration, over the disappearance of the
daughter of wealthy citizen on Twenty
third street. No trace of the missing young
lady could be found, and as she disappeared
without taking any of her personal effects,
her parents feared she had been drowned, or
iorcibly abducted After several months OF
Intellectual search and inquiry for the darling
child, she was given up as lost, and the fami-
ly went into mourning.
Tonight there is rejoicing in the paternal
mansion over the return of the child. II
appears that she fell in love with young sail.
or, who was first officer of sailing shir

THE nRorvNEn GABLE.

The newest thing from old ireland is the
following song, by Barney Maglone, on the
failure of the Atlantic cable:
Afro the Marriages. "
Hurrayl by the piper of Moses
The tightening got stuck in the main;
The clustering Bulls and Blue Noses
Are bafiled by Neptune again.
They've lately been cutting their capers
Across his dominions with wire,
And boasting aloud in the papers
Ofsetting the ocean ON fire.
CHoRBs-
But health to the jolly old shaver,
More power to his ponderous fistl
He has shut up their mongrel palayer
By giving the cable twist.
Am sorry--why should you be AKIN
To see the grand swindle laid fiat?
What good ever came from the Saxon
Perhaps you can answer me that?
Shure prayers, from both valley and high
land,
Went up that the project might fail;
Would you have them polute our blessed
island,
Transmitting devilish lies by wholesale?
CHoRUs-Then a health to the Jolly, &c.
By this time soft talk would been flashing
In toadying tones to the Queen;
Withblarney they'd all been whitewashing
The robber of nations, ween,
Bad luck to the haythens that grind us,
Their spies would been round us like
bees;
But the new chain they forged out to bind
us
Is lost in the depth of the seas,
cHoRUs-Then health to the jolly, &c.
Some say they are fishing to catch it
Where dolphins do merrily skip;
But the mermaid appointed to watch it,
I'll warrant she'll give them the slip
They may grapple all round, I've a notion
With little reward for their pains;
That rope will sing dumb in the ocean
Till ireland has broken her chains.
CHoRUs-Then health to the Jolly, sc.
