GEN. GRANT, when in Louisville the other day,
gave it his opiuion that the worst spirit in the
South is to be found in Kentucky and Virginia. -
Gen. Grant has excellent opportunities for learning
the facts, and we only differ from him in one par
ticular-we think the whole South is alike-that the
rebel population is rebellious and are fixing for
another out break. They are only in allegiance I'M
til they get enough of men and means to bring on
a second conflict.
