General Grant.

General Grant is the most prominent char
ac;er Of the times, not only on account Of
the overshadowing magnitude and fadeless
glory of his martial achievements, but be-
cause by virtue of these he is most likely to
be the successor of the present Presidential
incumbent. Everybody most implicitly con-
fdes in his honesty and patriotism, and ad-
mire those noble traits Of character which
have illustrated his conduct since be became
q star actor of the Union in the drama of
blood and death, forced upon the country by
the parricidal ingrates of the South. The
eyes of the people are upon him, His move
meuts are anticipated with as lively d solicit
tude as when he was encompassing the capt.
tol Of the Confederate DespotiSm with bur
nished circles Of deadly steel. The most art
full and stratcgetie attempts to extort his
views on the political situation have sigually
failed. We have climbed mountains of spec
ulstiag manuscript and waGed through
oceans of theorizing ink, and still are no
nearer the solution Of the problem than at
first. 1t is still a point around which bangs
q halo of mystery.
We do not depend upon the conjectures OF
newspaper editorial, the unreliable morccaus
Of newspaper correspondence or the sinister
dellyerances Of politicians to instruct us rs
to General Grants position. He laid down
his creed before the b~ristllng ramparts Of
Vicksburg, reiterated it on the immortal
fields OF Shiloh and MiIliken's Bend, wrote it
in the lightning glare of battle upon the cloud
palled skies Of the Old Dominion" and
Numbered it into the ears of a terrified and
beaten oligarchy Of t]eoi,ors, thieves aud mur-
derers, in tones that startled the dreamful ST.
lcnce Of her yal,ies aud shook her cid hills
from summit to base.
General Grant at the proper time will re-
move the anxieties of the people, and dis
perse the ten thousand suspicious entertain
ed pro and con, in regard to his status, Predi-
eating his future course upon his past record,
the conclusion is inevitable, that his views
when be sees ct to express them, will be any
thing bat acceptable or comforting to the en-
emies Of Republican liberty and government.
The press is reproaehing the Generals non
commitalism with great severity, deuouncing
him as a time server, waiting TO discover The
respective strength Of the two parties, and
then intending to join the strongest. Those
who indulge such a passion do not under
stand the "stuh7' Of the Hero, for he is a man
of strong convictions and positive opinions.
He differs from the generality Of public men
in the respect that he knows what should al
ways be said and the proper time Of saying
il. He has persistently refused the noisy
o~vations of bis grateful countrymen, and
spurned with Indignation the disgusting
toudyism of tn: people, that unchecked
would have made him q god. IF we are not
most egregiously deceived in General Grant
if he does not give the lie to his former life
by joining the democracy, we are for him for
the next Presidency above any other man.

A Returned Exile Harris
visits Gov. BFOWnlOW,

Yesterday morning Ex- Soy. Tsham G. Har-
ris, accompanied by General Dunlap, called
on Governor BrownlOw Mt his room in the
Capitol. Governor Harris left Liverpool on
the Glib inst, and came directly through from
New York, wi:hou; pausing to pay his re-
specls to his old friend, the President. He
was plainly but well dressed, and appeared
to be in fine health, q fact which be attrib-
utes to the rough and tumble and somewhat
migratory life which no has led for some
years past, during which he has oficiated ID
the v0rions capacities of travelling executive,
Confederate agent, President of the CordUva
colony, and commission merchant In London.
His friends sny that he appears no older than
he die SIX years ago. He greeted Governor
Brownies very cOurteously aud cordially,
and was received by the Governor with his
uniform urbauity and EeRtleness of manner.
\ brief conversation ensued between them,
in which no ]allusion was made to politics.
Harris remarked that he had come to give him
self mp, and expressed much gratitude for
the kind mention which the Governor had
made Of his family in mis- message. Governor
Brownlow. remarked that he would parole
him to appear at the Spring term of the Fed
erpl Court IN this city.
The Ex-Governor showed some feeling
when his successor inquired Il he had not a
poor opinion Of his quondam neighbors at
Cordova. Harris replied that the Mexicans
were the most unpfincipled, hollow-hearted
vagabnnds on the face Of the earth. After
an experience Of several years among the
Mezicans Of Cordoya, and thu Europeans, he
has wise y concluded that life nuder the
Brownlow %despotism is a great deal prefer
able to a wretched existence dragged out
among either anarchists or monarchists. He

We propose q few articles on the subject of
education snd the interests growing out of it.
This Is a practical subject and has become
exceedingly interesting to rs as a people. In
almost everything, il is said, we are behind
the age. The cause Of this is, in a great
measure, the want Of proper training. The
mind, like the body, requires certain exercise
for ius healthy Development. In fact, without
some kind Of training, the mind fails to act
at all, or acts feehly on whatever subject it
may be exercised. Hence it is that every
thing is IN a kind Of confusion. Go where
you may, you will find marks Of decay, land
lying ont, farms going TO wreck, houses fall
log down over the heads Of the inmates.
schools il a sicklY condition and churches
vacant. There must be a change We must
either fall on a better plan Of doing things,
or gather up our " goods and chattelsn and
leave the undcveloped resources of our coun-
try to men who will think and WORK. All
men have common sense in about me same
degree; but differ widely in the power Of
thinking. Il IS this that makes the great DIFF
ference we fnd among men in the zane So
ciety, in the same profession. II is the object
Of all training n sharpen the faculties of The
mind and make them ready for constant use.
Education IS development Of mind, 90 while
we are nziou that our country should be
developed, but let US not forget the great Sc
cret Of progress, thoughts followed By action.
II is mind that makes the man but educa-
ton moulds the mind. Now, it is well known,
thatBo country can be developed faster than
the minds Of its citizens. LIST us, then build
up SCHOOLS and thereby promote the cause Of
education, for by it, we can devise a better
plan Of living, a better plan Of teaching, a
better plan OF farming. If the people 90 to
