GRANT CAN SPEAK.-On the Goth
ult., upon the official information of
the Generals nomination rs a candi-
date for the Office of President of the
United States. Gen. Grant made the
following short and pointed speech,
which is perhaps the longest one he ev-
er 'made. The hearts OF those Repub-
licans who have auxiously watched
from, day to day. since his nomination,
for some expression committing himself
to the principles of those who have thus
honored him will be satisfied with the
few honest sentences spoken by the
General, and will feel assured that he
will indeed shave 10 policy of his own
to interpose against the will of the peo-
pie"

electors at large. OF Major J. b. Young
the Register is especially entitled to
speak, the Major having long been a
resident of Marion.
'Of Major Young it is unnecessary for
us to speak. Our people all know him
and know that the standard of Republi-
canism throughout the canvass, so for as
he is concerned, will not be lowered an

of which he was chosen Major. He al

Last eve, in meditative mood,
strOlled along Cedar street,
When just by the Drug Store
Who should chance to meet
But Katie H., the darling maid
For whom Eve sighed so long,
And on whose curls Of shining gold
I've penned full maf1y song.
Though lovely always to my eyes,
She seemed just then more fair
Than e'er before and in surprise
could not help but stare:
why. Charlie, goose cried Katie H..
what ails you now, you fright;
Have you gone mad! or seen q ghost!
Or taken to second sightS"
Then burst my speech in accent wild,
'-Oh, no! dear maid" said,
but your uncommon beauty has
Has almost struck me dead.
/ know you fairest OF the fair,
But now more fair you seem
Than ever you have seemed before
Or have dared to dream.
Now tell me why this glorious change:
That which has wrought this change;
What gives you this unneeded power
This bursting heart to harm >"
"Why, this it is" she archly said,
And showed her dainty foot,
lis this that adds this untold charm
This neatly fitting Boot,
THAT have this day bought at DEANS,
Just on Fifth Street you know,
Where Boots and shoes are sold so cheal
And all the people go;
And Charley, dear. just look again
And see how we'll it suits.
And Charley you must go there too
To get n pair OF Roots.

I am happy to inform you that am WELL and

been all my family. I am very well satisfied
with the country-better satisfied than l ever
was in all the days Of my life thought was
free in America, but was not until stepped
ashore in Liberia; and thank God that L can
now declare my freedom without fear. 1t was
twcnty-nine days after we left Charleston before
we saw any land and the first land We saw was
Cape Verde, inhabited by the Portuguese; the
next was Monroyia, and then We landed at our
station-Grand Bana Country; and of al lands
that I have never seen before l have seen IN
this country; and all the trouble you nave IN
getting your land is to walk about and PICK 1t
out for Yourself. landed here on the Attn day
of January and came ashore on the 9th OF ian,
uary and on the 9th went out to inspect Iand
and found it good. On the 9th went out again
and picked out my land between two towns
one mile from each. Of all the fruits found
on the land my tongue is unable to explain, but
I will give you the names OF come; First, q
field of thirty acres of coffee. Second c0coanul
trees in any quantity. Third, lemons by the
bushel. Fourth, the great palm tree, the most
important and precious tree in the country,
from which we get nice oil, cabbage, butter,
then the kernel, shingles, then cord and thread.
And then, best of al, we can get wine OF 1t TO
drink. All ofthese we have on the farm. Tell my
brother Washingto that this is the country TO
come to. will now close by saying remain
yours, HENRY LEWIS.
