the gentleman was at bis country seat with
some friends, he was informed that man
with two horses, that he led, waited on the
bridge and desired to speak to him that he
could not be persuaded to come nearer. When
the gentleman appeared, accompanied by lis
friends, the stranger called out:
"Stop, sir; l have but word with you.
Those to whom you promised. twelve years
ago, not to publish what you knew regard
ing them. are obliged to you for the observ
ance of this secret and now they discharge
Won from your promise. They have got a
competency. and are no longer in the king
dom but before they would allow me tt
follow them, they engaged me to beg your
acceptance of two horses, and here l have
them"
The man, who had tied the two horses to q
tree, setting spurs to his horse, went off sc
rapidly. that they instantly lost sight of him.

GRANT. on SHERIDAN.-In the course of
visit to Washington the present week, we
had the pleasure of hearing remark made
by General Grant, which we think should
be given to the country. During the period
Of the Rebellion, it was our advantage to
enjoy the personal intimacy of some of the
most prominent members of the Government,
and we have always made it point never to
repeat any Of the expressions elected during
such intercourse in the columns of this paper
There are exceptions, however. to the strict
est rules; and We propose now to make such
an exception in relation to General Grant :;
not because be usually says very little, and
therefore the public are anxious for his
opinions, bat because the matter we have to
state is SO very worthy of him, so Just to
Sheridan, and for both these reasons so
useful to the country, that we do not think it
ought to be withheld. General Grant, on
the occasion we refer to, had introduced to
the three persons present the subject of
General Sheridan's late dispatch in relation
to the Attorney Generals opinion, and with
view of justifying its style, explained that
it was in the nature of personal dispatch to
him, mot intended as an official response to
that opinion.) and consequently not meant
for publication. Nevertheless" said The
oeuefal, Teau copy OF IL IN tue news
paper before l received the original, and
am curious to learn how such result could
have come about" The General then went
on to say that Sheridan's dispatch was almost
in the nature ofa confidential communica ton.
and that it was characterized by an easv
frankness, which was leading feature Of
Sheridan's character. He was, consequently
sorry to see that the papers were making
such noise about it; but attributed this
fierceness of the attack in Louisiana to the
fact that Sheridan was not in any of the
rings" down there, and that they conse-
quently hated him heartily, and therefore
fell upon him all together. Warming with
his subject, General Grant further remarked,
that the public did not thoroughly under
stand Sheridan. He had popularity enough,
it was true in fact, all that a man could
desire, but not appreciation. He was a
much broader man than was generally sup
posed. He was usually regarded merely as
brave, of hand, downright fighter, with
not much calculation but he was in reality
a man of fine Judgment, and fully capable of
handling. under any circumstances, all the
armies the United States ever had together!"
This was said with great animation. and.
after moments pause, was repeated with
an increased emphasis JVikes' Spirit.

Extraordinary Adventure.

servants, night surprised him in poor
hamlet, where there was not even an ale
house. He asked could he lodge at the
manor one night, and was answered that 1t
had been forsaken some time; that only a
farmer was there by daylight, whose house
stood apart from the manor which was
haunted by spirits that came again and beat
people The traveller said that he was not
afraid of spirits, and to show that he was
not, his attendants should remain in the
hamlet, and that he would 60 alone to the
manor house, where he would be match for
any spirits that visited there-that he had
heard much of the departed coming again.

them.

intend going to bed, had pipes and tobacco
brought, with wine; he also laid on the
table two brace of loaded pistols. About
midnight he heard a dreadful rafting of
chains, and saw man Of large stature, who
beckoned, and made a sign for his coming
to him. The gentleman placed two pistols
in his belt. put the third in his pocket, and
took the fourth in one hand, and candle IN
the other. He then followed the phantom,
who going down the stairs, crossed the court

and desired leave to speak to them. This
was granted.
"Gentlemeu, said he, "my coming
