Speeulations Regarding StantOn's
rHa Withdrawal.

WAsIfNdroN, Oct. ls-The Ma !
tionat Republican, of this morning,
says that IL has the highest authority
for denying the report that Mr.. Stan
ton has rendered his resignation as
Secretary Of War While the Ma
hondt HttifiDetcet' remarks that the
statement that he had written letter
30 the President requesting TO be re-
lieved OF his position was, at least,
premature; but, the latter paper says,
10 h understood that Mr.. Stanton has
signitied his intention TO ask TO be re-
leved ~ soon as his annual report is
completed, and also, that, on account
of his health, he would not be ayerse

troverting the authority on which the

tempting TO state the particulars, the
substance Of the general newspaper

cd, viz: There seems 20 be no doubt

GRANT ON 9EaL YFmER.

While General Grant was in Philadelphia
with the President, en- rouse to Chicago, a
bread-and butternut Of that city, who claim
ed to be a soldier, accosted him IN the Cont
mental Hotel, and introduced the subject Of
Pennsylvania State politics. Said the fellow
to him, We are having a very warm canvass
for Governor in this State.
So | hear, replied Grant
We are very sanguine Of beating General
Geary and electing Mr. Clymer by hand
some majority, continued the butternut.
What makes you feel 50 confdent?'
asked the General.
Because, said the Johnsonite, we
count on getting the larger part of the sol
diers' vote for CIymer"
4 think you viii be mistaken in that.
Clymer is a Copperhead, and the soldier
who votes for him viii disgrace himself aud
the flag he fought under, was the General S
reply, as he turned on his heel and walked
away.
General Grant makes no secret of bis de
sire that the gallant General GeaIy shall be
elected Governor Of Pcnnyylyania. - Cbjca-

Glad of what? Why, glad that Abraham

so that he could become President. No

"THE CANr, THE BArTLE-F1FLD 4Sb mn
HosplrAL" is the title of handsome volume,
just issued by the National Publishing Com
pany 5o7 Minor Street. Philadelphia, Pa.
The author has delved most industriously
amongst the masses of curious incidents
which have marked the late war, and has
grouped and classified them under appropri-
ate heads, and in a very attractive form.
There is a certain portion of the war that
viii never go into the regular histories, and
win rot get embodied in romance or poetry,
which is very real part of it, and viii, if
preserved, convey to succeeding generations
better idea of the spirit of the conflict than
many dry reports or careful narratives OF
events, and this part may be called the gos-
sip, the fun. the pathos, Of the war.
These illustrate the character of the lead
ers, the Lumor of the soldiers, the devotion
Of women, the bravery of men, the pluck of
our heroes, the romance and hardships OF
the service. From the beginning of thewar
the author. DR.. L. P Brockett, has been en-
gagged in collecting all the anecdotes eonnec-
ted with or Illustrative Of it.
The volume is profuselY illustrated with
over 100 engravings by the FIRST artists, which
are really beautiful; worthy Of examination
as specimens ofthe art. The books contents
include "reminiscences of camp, picket, spy,
scont, bivouac, siege and battlefield adyen-
lures; thrilling feats OF bravery, wit, drollery-
comical and ludicrous adventures, etc, etc.
Amusement as well as instruction may be
found in every page, as graphic detail, bril-
liant wit, and authentic history, are skillfully
in this work of literary art.
WM. J. PALMER, st. Clairsville, Agent.
