General Grant.
Our esteemed cen empor es of the

Qutrer mite in an acknowledg gment of
General Grants fricndliness of feeling
toward the South. From certain most

possession, we are induced to believe
this kindly disposition has not been
overrated, and, in that impression, ten.
der to the Lieutenant General orr own
sense Of his humane and upright bear.

the victim Of a hate as cowardly as it is
great. At the first whisper of an intent

ceediRgs in utter derogatien of his pa
role, General Grant, we are informed,
ut once stated that were such atrocity
committed. he would forthwith throw up

be retained without some degree of
military disl,onor. Though the person
