The GRIT OF GRANT.-A peculiar kind
OF grit, not falling under any of the special
expressions l have noted, yet partaking in
some degree of all, is illustrated in the
character Of Lieut.. Gen. Grant. Without
an atom OF pretension to rhetoric, With
none OF the external signs of energy and
intrepidity, making no parade of tho i'm.
movable purpose. iron nerve, and silent,
penetrating intelligence God has put into
MIN, his tranquil greatness is hidden from
superficial acrutiny behind y cigar, as Pres
ident Lincoln's ID behind q joke. When
anybody tries to coax, cajole, overawe,
nuraes his leg, and is reminded OF story;
when anybody tries the same game with
Grant, the general listens and-smokes. II
you try to wheedle out Of him his plans for
q campaign, he stolicly smokes; il you cali
him M imbecite and q blunderer, he bland
~ lights another cigar; ii you praise him
rs the greatest general living, he placidly
returns the puff from his regalia; and #
you tell him he should run for the presi-
dency, it does not disturb the equaniInity
with which he inkales and exbales the I'M
substantial vapor which typihes the poll
tician's promises. While you are wonder
ing what kind OF man this creature without
4 tongue ls, you are suddenly electrified
with the news OF soMe splendid victory,
proving that behind the cigar, and behind
the face discharged of all tell-tale express-
ion, is the best brain to plan and the strong
est heart TO dare among the generals OF the
Republic.
From the tone of the Irish press we infer
that the people OF the Emerald Isle are r.-
pidly organizing resistance to English au-
thority, and that an outbreak, of more
formidable character than that Of l6A8, may
occur at any time. The police arc kept
busy rumaging the houses Of suspected
men, arresting them on suspicion, and
throwing them into prisons, without form
or examination or trial. A case of this
kind occurred in Skibbereen, recently, and
the people were so indignant that they
burned their priest In ethgy, it having been
reported that he was instrumental IN fur
nishing the authorities with information
which led to the arrest. The debates in
Parliament, on the condition Of Ireland,
show that the statesmen Of England are
not without grave approximations oftrouble.
The Fenians appear to BE at the bottom OF
the mischief, and the authorities are indus.
trious in ferreting them ont. Those who
act AZ informers for the police are stigma
tized as s.falon- setters,'' and execrsfed by
the populace everywhere. Meantimei eve
~ new arrest adds to the excitement, and
increases the prejudices Of the people. An
|insurrectton appears to be inevitable, I'M
less Parliament makes concessions that
will relieve the people Of the expressions Of
which they complain, and justly.
