Gen. RawIins, speech.

The speech of Mai. Gen. john A.
RAwL1Ns at Galena, last Friday evening,
is attracting n great deal of attention.
The source from which it comes gives
It great interest and importance. Gen.
R4wLINs is Gen. GRANTS chief-of-staff.
He is moreover the most intimate and
trusted friend Of Gen. GRANT. Resi-
dents of the same town before the war,
they entered the service together and
have since been constantly associated -
From Fort Donelson on, through all the
vicissitudes of the war, in evil report aud
in good report, until the final victory
was won, Gen. Rawlins has been the
trusted aid aud nearest personal intimate
of the General in chief.
RAwLINs was at that time practising
law in Galena, and was Douglas Dem
ocrat in 1890 Since the breaking out
of the rebellion, and until the other eve
ming, he has remained silent on the sub
ject Of politics. On that occasion, with
out INDUCING in any offensive remarks
in regard to any portion of the OPPOSITE
on, be submitted most clear and forcible
argument in support of the policy of the
Republicans during the war, and of the
action of Congress looking towards the
reconstruction of the South.
The speech, without doubt, conveys
substantially the views of Gen. GRANT,
and will be generally accepted as an evi
dence of the entire harmony which exists
between his opinions and those of the
Republican masses of the country upon
the leading political issues Of the day

the continued rains should injure the wheat

fear is that the growth OF straw may be so
heavy as to prevent good yield of grain.
