GRANT has always been disloyaE Eas is proved b!
his entire conduct during the wsr-it is rathe
hopeless to look for change In him at this lat

Aldispstch from St. Louis, September IS, in the
New York Herald, publishes the following "The
Montana Post says that an exploring party, which
has been to the headwaters Of the Yellowstone
River, has just returned, and reports seeing one
OF the greatest wonders of the world. For eight
days the party travelled through a volcanic coun-
try, emitting blue flames and living stream of
molten birthstone. The country was smooth and
rolling long level plains intervening between roll
ing mounds. On the SUBMITS of these rolling
mounds we're .craters from four to eight feet in
diameter, and everywhere on the level plains were
smaller crsters from four to six inches in diane
ter. from which streamed blaze and a constant
vhistling sound The hollow ground resounded
beneath their feet as they travelled and every mo-
ment seemed to break through. Not living thing
WAS seen in the vicirity. The explorers gave it
the significant appellation of He'll.
Washington correspondent of the New York
Post sends the following to that paper : can
officer of General GRANTS staff relates converse
tion which he had with the General a few days
400 wherein the General remarked, concerning
the talk of making him President, that che would
ot be President of the United States if the oppor
4unity were offered; that he was no politician;
that he hated politics; that, so far as reputation
and honor were concerned, he thought he ought
to be satisfied with what of these he already en-
1oyed: that holding the Office of President would
mar his present comfort, and drag him into the
storms and excitements Of politics; that, as the
General of the Army, he had all the work ne could
do, and time enough to enjoy the comforts OF his
family and home; and that he, as a soldier, had
Gained friends enough in the country without now

The New York Tribune, Of September 11th,
savs ssThe Trustees Of the Peabody Fund having
deternained to apply the funds which the muni6-
cence Of Mr.. PEABODY has placed in their hands in
encouraging the introduction OF the system OF
free schools into the Southern States, by supple
1nentins the work of the people in the cause OF
ronnlsr education, the Rev. MIR. AMOS, the South
ern agent of that fund, is now on a visit to the
North with the object of obtaining contributions
in aid of the available means at the disposal OF the
trustees. Those means, though ample, are far from
adeouate to the wants of the population which it
In sought to benefit. Hence che necessity Tor fur-
ther help. MIR. AMOS is furnished with testimo-
malls of character from Generals GRANT, THOMAS,
and Howard, and severa, influential gentlemen IN
the North have already signihed their warm appro-
val Of his mission. In view Of the immense beneht
which will accrue to the South, and, indirectly, to
the whole Union, from the success Of the plan
which the Trustees Of the Peabody Fund have
adopted, We cannot doubt that the appeals of Mr..
Aftos win bs fberally responded to by all who
have faith in education as sn ally of free govern
pent,
