THE CHICAGO POST.

With its issue Of the 17.h inst, this ex-
eellent evening daily appeared enlarged to

editorial from Hon. David Blakeley - /
With the present number Of the hicago
Post, its senior proprietor for the first
time assumes the management and control
of its editorial columns. This abatement
is made necessary in view of tie fact that
the course Of the paper has been in many
respects essentially ut variance with the
settled principles which have characterized
his whole political life, aud which there
1ee n. At present less cause than>eve tha.
For this reason, and in order 10 secure
entire harmony in the couosels and conduct
Of the paper, the undersigned have be-
come possessed of the entire remaining
interests, and hereafter he Chicago Post
will take advanced ground as the firm
and untlinch,ng advocate Of those great
principles Of universal freedom. human
rights, and human equality, winch the
late terrible civil commotion served to
bring into partial recognition, and which,
II shall be the constant aim Of the Post
to cause to. be fully and firmly estab-
ished as the fundamental law OF 3 the
land. - ~ :. -
Mr.. Blakely IS an able writer, and =
gentleman both IN aud out OF the elitotial
chair, and this change will give to the
Post spirit and tone WHICH is has hereto
fore much lacked. We wish it abundant
success. Id ... g.,

Pot is furnished At $500, which is q
cheaper rate than the other Chicago dailies.

The s.. Louis papers are filed with ad-
vertisemcnts Of steamboats, ''for Fort Ben
ton and the gold mines Of Montana and
Idaho" They all claim to be light dsaNght
steamers, and advertise they en- run on a
moderate fall Of dew as an inducement to
accept the venture. From St. Louis to
Fort Benton BY the Missouri river is a
dangerous voyage of over 25op miles in
length, aud occupying . months time, it
snsgs do net put mtre abrupt termination
to The journey. We have been little Gu
rious to ascertain the cost IF reaching
Montana by this route. The st. Louis
Democrat supplies us with the wishcd-for
information as follows:
I'VE understand the freight charges on
round lots, Jumping all descriptions, is
elepen cents par pound, payable in gold dust
at the point Of delivery, and for small and
irregular lots as high as t1eaty cents in cur
rsncy has been asked. 4 cabin passage is
placed at t,co hundred dollars, or four hum
dred for the round trip. THIS tariff of
prices may be considered steep-and rob-
ably it is-but we must take into consider
alton the expense incurred by the boats,
one of which-the pilotage-costs alone
nine thousand dollars"
From this it appears that by the river
route from St. Louis, it will cost the single
emigrant with the amount Of freight neces-
sary to his outfit, some three Or four hun
dred dollsrs to reach Fort Benton. which is
still several hundred miles from the gold
fields. /. ..'. =, re-. =
Now by the direct overland route from
Minnesota westward to Fort Benton, a
distance from St. Paul Of about 1000 miles,
emigrants can reach Montana, with their
necessary outfit, At cost Of not more than
500 per man. We observe that Capt.
Fisk alvertises to take passengers with
fifty pounds Of baggage, through for that
sum. With thorough organization Of
transportation facilities, We presume
freights could be carried through to Fort
Benton, by this route, quite as cheaply
and expeditiously and far more safely than
they can be carried through the treach-
erous shoals and snags of the Missouri.

GEN. GRANTS INTUITIONs.

From the n. +: Herald. i"2 -
One of the best proofs of Generald
Grants greatness is tue facility with which
be reads mems characters and selects his
subordinates. Almost every early member
Of his staff, selected when unknown, and
when their latent qualities where hid to all
other eyes than those Of Grant, have be-
come successful and famous. He saw and
appreciated Sherman when laid on the shelf
as a mailman. He made Mcpherson his
chief engineer, whom all others saw in him
only q talented Captain of the Engineer
corps. He made General Barry his chief
Of artillery when Captain, and saw him
rise to be Major General. He selected
Sheridan, out of the midst Of his first
battle in which ne had ever seen him, to
command his cavalry on the Potomac. He
selected John A., Rawlings to be his Adjn-
tant General when he was but Captain in
the volunteer service, and has seen him
rise by merit alone to the position Of Briga
.dier General in the regular army. Away
back in the days Of Fort Donelson. when,
as Brigadier General, Grant was entitled
to one Adjutant. General, he selected Pri-
vate Theodore s. Bowers, in whom he had
discerned the qualities which afterwards
made him distinguished, to be sort of
assistant or chief clerk to his Adjutant
General. No sooner had he obtained the
requisite rank than he made Rawlings his
chief of staff, and made Bowers his Adju-
tant General, and saw him rise from q pri-
vate in the volunteers to be q Colonel in
the regular army. ..-..... ..--:...r-
