The weather since our last was of a
eha,ogeable nature. During Tuesday
night and up TO noon yesterday the
temperature was exceedingly close
and oppressive, and In the afternoon
we had a couple of heavy thunder
showers, which flooded the streets
and cooled the atmosphere to a con.
siderable extent.
There was no improvement mani

day. There we're numerous boats adj
vertised to leave port, and but one
half of those announced to leave got
off, and with but moderate trips.

Things to be Remembered.

/. That the late rebellion, which
cost our nation three thousand
millions OF dollars, and hundreds
OF thousands OF lives carrying
mourning into almost every iami
y III the land, was II Democratic
rebellion, Ct up in the interest OF
slavery, because the party was de,
feated in u Presidential election.
2. That Democratic Northern
politicians, from ex President down
TO members of Congress and May
Crs ol ourlqrgest cities, encouraged
their Southern friends to rebel,
with promises that the friends of
the Union should ''haye fighting
enough 10 dU ut home" that that
war should not be south of Mason
x DiXon's line, but here in The
North" " and that "blOod should
run in our own streets
3. That the war commenced was
prolonged tor years BY the etl1rts
OF the Democratic party III the
North to cripple the Government,
to discourage enlistments, and in
every practicable way to encourage
the rebels in their desperate con
spiracy against the lifo of the Re-
public.
4. That every single Democratic
State, except liltle delaware, went
into the rebellion {; and that was
only prevented from doing so by
tte strong arm OF the Government
5, FhaL while Democratic Con
gressmen, Governors. and Generals
violated their oaths, ,abandonded the
flag Of their country and went into
Congress and the armies of the
rebel Confedcracy, not solitary
Republican from: one end Of the
country to the other, ever turned
traitor to the flag o. the Union, OF
went iGto tho rebel Congress OIL
rebcl armies.
6. That while the Republican
party is now laboring to restore
the Union upon the basis of impair
tial justice and the equal rights o
all loyal men, the Democratic par
ty is arraying itself against such
restoration and striving by every
means in its power to oposlpone re
construction, as it did postpone fol
years the end Of the war.
Z. That the only restoration de
sired by the Democratic party II
its own restoration and that of i'll
rebel allies to place and power il

General Grant.

The New York Ledger gives tho
following interesting anecdotes
about the General:
AT the,beginning Of the war, Grant,
OF rather Mrs. Grant, owned three
very likely slaves in Missouri; but
be told them, before any procla.
nation of Emancipation was issued,
to go free and look out for them.
selves.
The history of General Grants
subsequent military career, Of his
great Western aud Eastern cam.
paigns, and Of his respective prom.
otions up to his present rank, is a
part OF the familiar history of the
country. and | do not propose to
enter upon that.
When the great outcry was made
against him after the battle Of
Pittsburg Landing, one of his aids
wrote several letters in his defense,
and sent them to me for publication.
| published one, which seemed to
have q very salutary effect on pub
lie sentiment in this part of the
country; but as soon as General
Grant learned it, he ,eIegraphed
me not to publish any more.
General Grant wrote mo once
from the West during the war, that
the Government had asked good
deal of him, but it had never asked
any more than he folt himself
equal to. He always wrote in good
spirits.
On his way to Washington to
take command OF the army of the
Potomac, he stopped an hour to
see us. His mother asked him
if he was not "afraid to attack Lee "
"Not at ALL he replied. II know
lee ss well he knows himself |
know all his strong points, and all
his weak ones. intend to attack
his weak points, and flank his
strong ones"
He wrote to us occasionally
throughout the war; but his time
was too much occupied for him to
write frequently or at much length.
His mother suffered much less
anxiety about him than she did
during the Mexican War. She
seemed to feel throughout the re-
belIion that he had been raised UP
for tho particular purpose of that
war, and thought the same Power
that had raised him up would pro
tect him.
Ills family were with us for
about six months. They came up
from Cairo just after the battle Of
Fort Donclson. There is an Incl,
dent connected with thei., arriva'

mentioning; for IN few years i
