DANAs LIFE OF GRANT.-Mr. Charles A.
Dana, editor of the New York Sun, and Assis-
tant Secretary of War during nearly the whole
of Mr.. Lincoln's administration, is preparing
biography of General Grant, which will be in
some respects preferable to any other yet pro-
duced. Less elaborate in its details of mill
tary operations than the admirable work of
Colonel Badeau, it will yet embrace much
which the special purpose of that work ex-
cludes. Its object is to comprise in single
handy volume all that there is of greatest in
terest in the life of this foremost man of the
time, placing within the reach of all the people
what they most wish to know concerning him.
Mr.. Dana's official position during the impor-
tant period referred to afforded him unusual
facilities for obtaining an accurate knowledge
of public events; while his intimate associa-
ton, under many varying circumstances, with
General Grant has given him abundant OPP
portunity of studying the character and ideas
of the man. OF his literary fitness for the task
he has undertaken it is, of course, superfuous
to speak; his abilities in this respect are well
known.
The work, which is now nearly ready, will
be issued in single octave volume Of 400
pages, substantially bound. 1t is publ ished by
Gurdon Bill g Co., Springfield, Mass, whose
reputation is a sufficient guaranty of the per-
fection of its mechanical execution.

But greater than Stebbins was in the Sem

verge OF high treason now, but must plead

of the offence
"Mr. Fessenden said no public honor could
be paid to Mr.. Stanton that would not
crafty him and meet with his concurrence.
He could vote for the resolution with pleas
ure in all its parts. Ii there was any one
connected with the administration, not ex-
cepting Mr.. Lincoln, who served his country
merely for the love OF it, and from the desire
to save it from the dangers that he saw inn
pending over it, il was he. Under such cir
cumstances, although it is not customary TO
pass votes OF thanks for civil services yet with
pleasure l can vote for making an exception
in this case, but l am more particularly will
ling to do so because of the facts that have
transpired. 1t is a peculiar position to be
placed in, for an officer, and more especially
a member of the cabinet, to hold on to his
office under circumstances where che majority
of the lockers on would think it his duty in
good faith to retire. This
brought him into collision with the President,
and the rest of the Cabinet, and he thought
it his duty to remain, sacrificing his own
wishes and feelings to an overruling contin-
gency, as few men would have the courage
and manliness to do"
