GRANT IL DISGRACE.
The capture OF Danelson gave us Kentucky

lake possession, which Grant and bneii pro-
ceeded to do without deiav. haieek then

Cumberland and M the tennessee as tar a.

order on the I'd OF March, and on the an hrs
army was embark ed aud on IFS Way, Then,
without having gi7en Grant any intimatlons

h. places { t. Smith IN command OF the tx
l,ad'iion, while Grant is 70 remain in disgrace
- Fort Henry. Such ia the reward bestowed
on fighting by a sedeniary General. Grant
"a likes no quarrel. but states his side OF the

tine old soldier writes kiadiy 10 Gfant, and
hopes he Will soon resume your old COM

The opinion Of the model soldier of the old
arsuy was some consolation at all events.

Landing, to move when the attack above
should prove TO be serious. He then went te
