Report OF Gen. Grant.

.,, Lieut.. Gen. Grant submits to Congress
detailed survey of the entire operations of
all our armies from the date of his appoint
ment to the general command, to the final
overthrow of armed resistance to the Gov
ernment. THIS report fills fifteen closely
printed columns of the New York Times.
We cannot better express the character and
Importance of the document than by quoting
the Times, as follows: -. ggl n.
There is nothing in military literature or
history comparable with the report of Lieut..
Gen. U. S. Grant, which was published com.
plcte in the Times of yesterday. b 1t is more
compact than Caesar, more lucid than Jomini,
more pungent than Napier. 1t covers the
operations of mightier army, operating
over vaster service, than ever was mar.
shaled by any commander 1t will COM
mand the attention of the soldiers of the
world, and will be read by all generations
as long as the great war of secession is re-
membered. The report embraces but one
year out of the four years of war But it
was year in which such mutitudinous
battles were fought and won-in which such
bewildering mass of movements were
made from points almos: innumerable-in
which such number of commanding officers
figured honorably or otherwise--that it
seems in pcrusing tie report, which embra-
ccs the whole in its scope, as if we were
reading of a century of battles covering the
surface of the world" .... - g.

On the 1st inst, Mr.. Noah p. Hill, q
member of Company X. 123d New York IN
tantry, while hunting near Granville, N. y,
had his attention attracted to certain cave
by his dog. Surprising a fox might be
within, he placed lantern on the end Of
his gun, and by STOPPING he entered the
cave and proceeded about seventy feet when
he saw the eyes of "a varmint," and per-
ceived at once it was no fox. The animal
was crouched upon kind of shelf, and Mr..
Hill, not daring or wishing to back out,
pointed his gun at the creature, when the

mouth. MIR. Hill succeeding in wrestling
his piece away, pointed it again, and again
the animal caught it, when Mr.. Hill dis
charged the gun, heavily loaded with buck
shot, into the creatures mouth and through
the back Of his neck. The animal bounded
forward, but, with Ratchet and the aid of
his dog, Mr.. Hill despatched Inn at once,
without receiving any injury. 1t was a

Causes of sudden Death.

Very few Of the sudden deaths which are
said to arise from diseases of the heart do
really arise from that cause. To ascertain
the real origin of sudden deaths, an expert.

bourg. Sixty.six cases of sudden death
were made the subject of thorough post
mortea examination; in these cases only
two were found who had died from disease

Arlington Heights.

Arlington Heights still remains in the
possessions of the Government, but it is
said the wife of General Robert E. Lee has
recently written to friend that she intends
to return there, even if she lis obliged to
live in the black quarters" This is indica-
tive Of the strength OF her determination to
reassert what she considers the rights of
herself and husband to this historic pro-
perty; but among the other obstacles she
will probably encounter, is the fact that
twelve thousand Union soldiers have been
buried upon its soil. Sixty brave Union
officers sleep their last sleep IN the grounds
which surround the family mansion; and the
head stores which mark the last resting
place of six thousand of our soldiers are but
a short distance beyond the remaining six
thousand, being buried in soldiers ceme-
tcry about one-ha,f mile distant. 1t is of
course impossible that the nation can sur
render the graves of so many of its defen-
ders to the leader of the armies they volun-
tecIed TO opposc.-PhiLa. Press.

Brigham Young is reported to have lso
wives, Silas Roeder 129, Jeremiah Stern III,
Job Billsen 90, julius Hoffman 92, Hebacue
Croatzy 81, and Gideon Rutian "a. These
gentlemen, we suppose, are the notabirties
of Salt Lake, particularly the last named.
Brigham's oldest wife is not over AZ, and
his Youngest not above IA, while he Is the
survivor of no fewer than 2s spouses. hSilas
Roeder, the next in authority among the
Saints, as might be supposed, is so apt-to
forget the names of his wives that he has to
call them by numbers.
/ The masses in the Mormon country haze
only one wife, and the average does net ex.
ceed two or three apiece. Brigham Young
is the reputed father of 242 children, Of
whom 80 are dead The surviving balance
I.of 213 consists of 50 boys and 1913 girls.
| Slas Roeder is thrice ard jeremiah Stein
nine times Brigham's brother.in.law, these
wQrthies having respectively married. three
and nine sisters of their chiefs wives. The
preponderating natl nality among the male
| inhabitants is that of Sweden, and the
Danes come next. The Scotch, noted fol
their metaphysical propensities, surviving
all the whisky of the land of Burns, out
number the Norwegians. Next to them are
the Swiss, Germans, and Americans. al
for the French, there are only two in all tho
vast Mormon domains, and there are moi
more than three Italians, and only ont
Spaniard, an isolated representative of Dor
Quixote, in Salt Lake. AS far as the fe
male population is concerned, it is note
worthy that there is not single French
woman, while there are eight Italians ant
two Spanish women, aud even one represen
tative of classic Greece. A French lad,
would be looked upon as the most preciou
of acquisitions, and other Latin females ar
also in great demand, in proportion to thei
! greater scarcity. The majority of the wo
men come from the United States, Scandi
navia, Switzerland, Germany, and Mexico

rg Our neighbor of the Democrat affects
to be greatly pleased to see that we heartily
endorsed the policy of President johnson.
If our neighbor is really sincere IN his con-
version, in favor of the principles of An
drew johnson, we shall be pleased also.
And he should explain why he and his
friend refused to Andrew johnson, when in
Harrisburg, less than two years ago, the
poor privilege of delircring an address in
the Hall Of the House Of Representatives., O
privilege often granted to persons of ques.
ticnablc standing and character.
There is also another essential point Of
difference in the democracy of the President
and our neighbor. He was in favor of re-
storing the revolted States and bring then,
back into the Union, by force, if necessary
whilst the editor of the Democrat asserted
that GAS for now restoring the revolted
States of the Union, by war, that is the
widest chimera that ever entered the brain
of man." If our neighbor is really sincere
and no longer thinks the coercion Of the
rebels an6 the restoration of the Union by
force of arms, "the widest chimera" ht
should be frank enough to say, that not

changed his opinion. ......,,.. .s.. ...
