Gen. Grant and Gen. Joe Johnston

The Baltimore Commercial has the
following notice Of the meeting of Gen,
Grant and Gen. Johnston at the Mary
land Horse Fair:
About half.past four clock p m Gen.
Grant arrived on the grounds in the pri-
waite carriage of VIM. J. Albert, Esq, OF
this city, accompanied by Maj. Gen.
Steneman, of the U. S. army, and John
Merryman, Esq, respected President Of
the Horse Fair Association. The dis
tingushed party were Immediately invi-
ted to the judges stand, where Gen.
Grant, OF course, at once became the OBJ
served of all observers, although it was
somewhat difficult to convince many per-
sons that the plain and unassuming man
with sloached hat was the com
mander.in-chief of the armies Of this
great country. After the customary in
PRODUCTIONS, the General drew forth the
inevitable cigar, and was soon puff
6ng away, now chatting now smoking,
and patiently awaiting the opening of
the race.
Shortly before the beginning Of the
race, some one called attention to Gen.
Joseph Z. Johnston, late Of the Southern
army, who was surrounded by several
prominent citizens, on the ladies' stand.
II was Immediately suggested to invite
him also upon the judges stand, but
some one interposed an objection by
questioning the Propriety of doing So
The inquiry was made Of Gen. Grant as
to whether it would be agreeable, when
he replied: Certainly, sir, he's the very
man / should like to see" The invita-
ton was at once given, and, in few
moments, Gen. Johnston was escorted to
the stand, when a most cordial meeting
was had between the two great military
chieftains, both seeming TO be entirely
'forgetful Of the past in the social inter-
course which characterized the true gen.
tleman. After sslutiEg Gen. Grant in
the warmest manner, Gen. Johnston
turned about and recognized Gen. Stone
man, who grasped his hand warmly, the
spirit of true greatness and bravery seem
ing TO uproot and entirely obliterate all
past differences.
Over an hour was spent in social con-
verse by the three heroes, and when it
became known to the assembled hun
dreds below, the effect was perceptible in
the smiling faces and earnest, friendly
criticisms, all seeming to concur in say
ing: " That's right; that's as it should
be-" During the day, a most significant
remark fell from the lips of Gen. Grant,
who was heard to say, speaking of Gen.
Johnston That's one of the men whose
aid we all want in efiecting happy re-
construction.
