THE New York Tribune, in a bitter
attack upon the Grand Army of the
Republic, contains the following SEN
tence:
1--WE say, let all the fearful memories of
the past sink into the hell to which they
belong; let us think only of Wounds to be
healed, of harvests to grow again, of seas
once more covered with our commerce,
education for the ignorant, protection to
the oppressed, justice to aIl.n nol5@J
How easy it is for those who have
no fearful memories of the past, to let
them sink and be forgotten! How
pleasant for those who never had any
wounds, to think only of wounds to
be healed We presume that the
poor boys who suffered in rebel pris-
ons, and still carry with them the eff
fects of rebel bullets, can't so easily
sink the fearful memories of the past,
or think only of wounds to be healed.

General Grants Opini0n Of Phil.

There is no man In the country who
is now more thoroughly abused by
the entire Democratic press than
General Phil. SHERIDAN. and by
none more heartily than the Evans
vile Courier. 1t is one of the natural
instincts of a Copperhead newspaper
to abuse any man who was successful
in his efforts to putadown the rebel
lion of its Southern friends. General
SHERIDAN, in his position as Military
Commander of one of the insur-
rectionary districts. has found the
spirit of rebellion as bold and defiant
as during the war;, and like a true SOL
der he has met it In the same manner
he did in the Shenandoah Valley and
at Five Forks, and hence the Copper
head onslaught upon him. We are
grati6ed to know, however, that his
recent action has in no wise shaken
the confidence which his Chief enter
talns for him. GEORGE WILKES,
editor of the New York Spirit Of the
Times, relates editorially an interview
With General GRANT, in which the
General, speaking of SHERIDAN's re-
cent letter and action, said: He was
sorry to see that the papers were
making such a noise about 1T; but
attributed this f~erceness of the attack
in Louisiana to the fact that Sheridan
was not in with any of the 'srings T"
down there, and that they conse-
quently hated him heartily, and there
fore fell upon him all together.
Warming with his subject, General
Grant further remarked that the
public did not thoroughly understand
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 supposed. He was usually
regarded merely as a brave, of-hand,
downright fighter, with not much cal
culation; 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 togetherI' This was said with
great animation, and, after a moments
PAUSE, was IcpcdIcu Will du lHcTcdscu
emphasis. The surprising generosity
of such a declaration as this, from a
man who, it would naturally be sup
posed, would crave such commanding
glory solely to himself, made a deep
impression on those of us who heard
it, and the childlike earnestness and
simplicity with which the words were
uttered, carried the conviction that
they came spontaneously from a big
heart and a great nature. After this
evidence of m%agnanimity and self-ne-
cation on the part of General Grant.
the most jealous patriot need have no
fears of the integrity and f%aithfulness
with which he will perform his duties,
in whatever station he may be called
upon to fill. Such men as he do not
betray.

4 ,udicrous scene occurred at New Al
bany on the 3rd. An EmeraIder, who is
called Pat, for short. under h somnifer-
Gus influence of good old Irish whisky,
made his bed near an cistern
near the depot, which had been made as a
receptacle for dead rats, cats, dogs, hogs.
&c. Pat snoozed soundly for a while, but
a change of base esulted in the breaking
of his peaceful slumbers, by a frightful
plunge into the dark waters below. He
was fished out a soberer and nastler man.
On the 10Th ult.. as we learn from the
Roonvilles Enquirer, three horses were
stolen from parties in that place. Suspicion
was directed towards a young man named
Thomas Wilcox. who had been 'laboring
on a farm in hat vicinity, who had disap-
peared about the time the horses did. He
was traced to the Ohio River, thence to
Muhlenburgh County, KY, where the
horses were recovered and the thief ar
rested. He acknowledged his guilt, and
implicated an old man named Neal, who
resided about four miles from BoonviIle,
h was also arrested. Both were lodged
in Jail. Neal formally resided in Ken
lucky.

THE death of a prince always
.awakens emotions in some people who
are Indifferent to the death of ordina-
ny individuals. Some of the papers
In this country, just now, are making
an unusual to do" over the sad
fate of the Emperor Macmillan, the
crowned adventurer who staked his life
against an empire and lost. While
the Emperor had manytraits of char
acter that rendered him attractive, we
cannot see wherein his death should
occasion much surprise or unusual
horror. The people of this country
have not been educated to regard fill
busters with great consideration,
whether, like WALKER and LOPEZ,
they carry on their designs for the
purpose of givinga Republican form
of governments to what was regarded
as an oppressed and badly governed
people; or, like MAMMALIAN, to give
an Emperor to a people who seemed
to be unable to govern themselves.
LOPEZ and WALKER lost their lives
without o~ccasioning any great cry of
distress on the part of the press or
people of the United States, and now
that MACMILLAN has met a similar
fate, in a similar undertaking, we see
no reason for a greater display of sor7
row We do not know that the blood
of a prince is any redder than hat of
ordinary men, and if princes turn ad-
venturers, they must meet all
the dangers and share all
the consequences of such un-
dertakings. Besides, MACMILLAN
staked everything on a game of ter
ror. He shot or hung everybody who
fell into his hands, whose lives in the
least jeopardized the success of his
new Empire. MIRAMoN. his chief
military commander, was as cruel a
wretch as ever cursed Mexican soil.
We have yet to learn that MAxIMIL-
IAN made any serious effort to re-
strain his cruelty and barbarity.
With others, we think the Mexicans
had a grand opportunity for the dis
play of magnaminity when they Sc
cured the person of MACMILLAN,
but like many others, they didn't
choose to profit by it. The success of
our Government in tanning rebels by
displays of magnaminity was not cal
culated to give them a good opinion
of that mode of treatment for desper-
ate diseases, and they, consequently,
fell back upon the old and more, he
role practice for the cure of rebellion,
treason and revolution. We are not
certain but that the result will prove
