Dana, late Assistant Secretary Of War, and J. III.
Wilson, Brevet Major General U. 8. a. Gordon,

The authors state that they have been led TO pre-
pare this life OF 6enera Grant through their relations
with him during the war and their desire to pre-
serve the Impressions so gathered material part
Of the mans history, and though "the wish TO do
justice far possible to man who, highly as he
is admired by his fellow citizens is not yet suf-
cienty esteemed for heroic steadness and courage,
transparent simplicity and honesty and profound
and disinterested wsdom.v Perhaps the latter
phrases might have been accepted with more sim
cerity by the people their subject not candi-
date. The words imply that other lives, of which
there are now 80 many are all more or less defective,
and In this are quite right. Badeaus book Is good
one, but az II treats only the Generals military ca
reer and as no other goes amply through his whole
history, life doing this was still desideratum.
The present work seems very complete and satisfac
tory on all points, and IL well done az to justify
claim to be considered something more than mere
campaign ISSUE

Postponement Of the Trial Until the 21st OF
September.
WASHINGTON, June &c. 1s6s
At the opening OF the Criminal Court to-day, Dis
trict Attorney Darlington called the Surratt case.
The prisoner was present with his former counsel,
Messrs. Merrick and Bradley, Jr.
Mr.. Merrick, on behalf OF Surratt asked for q con-
nuance OF the case stating that the prisoner being
without funds had been unable to engage counsel,
and the professional engagements Of himself and
Mr.. Bradley were such as would not permit them at
this time to enter upon the case. Surratt had writ
ten to Messrs. Groesbeck and j. s. Black to serve
his counsel, and although no answer had yet been
received, favorable response was expected.
Mr. Darlington thought HIS duty to the public
would not permit him to agree TO any such contnu-
ance.
The Court asked him whether he intended to try
the first indictment or notY
Mr.. Darlington responded that he understood the
Court heretofore disposed OF the first indictment
Judge Wylie said-l did not discharge the prisoner
from the Indictment but discharged him from Jail.
thought that his long incarceration and the fact
that the prosecution was not ready to try him
on the indictment for murder warranted me in
releasing him from further confinement. IL you are
ready to try him on the indictment for the murder OF
President Lincoln he IL now in court, and presume,
Is ready to proceed TO trial.
Mr. Merrick replied that they were ready to 90 to
trial on that indictments and addressing himself to
the District Attorney, said:-Mr. Darlington, wish
the first indictment n0tS believe 1t Is generally
understood that this indictment Will never be tried
Mr. Darlington remarked that lie did not know
what would be done in the matter; but az far he
was personally concerned without consultation with
the associate counsel employed specially by the gov
ernment, he would not prosecute the first Indictment
Judge Wylie said-Then consider that matter out
OF the way. r..r f.r r...
Mr. Merrck remarked that he wanted either a
7lOle prOSeQtH or an Indictment II was unfair to
leave the matter unsettled. The prisoner was en-
titled to one or the other.
Mr. Darlington wished to know, ir he entered q
nole prosequi on the first Indictment, whether the
prisoner would be ready to to trial the second
charging him with conspiracy to abduct President
Lincoln &cp
Mr.. Merrck replied that his professional engage
ments would not permit him to do lie was will
ing to proceed to trial on the 10Th OF September at
special term OF the court.
Judge Wylie then said:-I will give you special
term on the 2lst Of September.
Mr. Merrck said they would be ready for trial on
that day.
The ball bond of surratt was renewed and filed at
quarter past eleven O'Clock.
