There Ia one incident in the life o.
Gen. Grant that seems TO be enshrouded
in impeneirable mystery Personal ana
military biographies have been spread
before Us, but in all Of them the General
biographers have found one period OF has
life a Terra iacognifd, or IL fam lllar with
The facts, have carefully avoided, any ex-
nlanation of the incident TO which we
allude. We have seen many accounts OF
his early military aspirations, and the
Circumstances under which he went 10
West Point; and have read graphic
DISSERTATIONS Of the manner in which the
finger Of fate pointed him out from q
number of clerks in militia AdJntant
Generals Office as a proper person to be
commissioned Colonel Of an Illinois reg
iment. thereby securing to the army its
present Commanding General, and 10
the Radical party its candidate for the
Presidency. But we must confess our.
selves unable to understand why General
Grants friends should be so reluctant TO
give us any information as to why he LETT
the army when be was Captain in the
Fourth Infantry.
The inclinations OF men generally FOL
low the bent Of their genius. III Gen-
eral Grant is military genius, we may
presume that he he'd a preference Tor
military life. He was educated at West
Point. he had served in the army num-
berof wears. and, as The saying is among
military men, he had nothing. to resign
on. Why, then, did he resignf And
why have SONS of his friends not graft
fed the curiosity Of the public on this
poipt? We would like 10 hear from
General Bndeau or the elder Grant on
this subject; or, if they will not give US
the details. we should like 10 be informed
nv General Buchanan, whose orders
Gen. Grant was ruthlessly overhauling at
New Orleans few weeks ago, whether
il is true that when he was Major in
the 4th Infantry, and in command of
Fort Vancouver, Washington Territory,
that Capt u. S.. Grant, who was sta
toned at the same point, imbibed so
freely and SO continually that his where
abouts could not be learned for several
days, and that when be was finally dis
covered his commanding officer gave him
his choice, to submit to trial by a court
martial or to write out his resignation
and Mace It in the commanding officers
office to be forwarded on the next repe-
tition of the ogense We. should like
Gen. Buchanan to tell us whether Capt.
Grants resignation was not SO placed in
his hands, and whether he did not for
ward il about month thereafter, and
why he concluded to forward it to the
War Department

The Hoxt anuarnnr

The following distinct announcement
by the "senior editor" Of the Knoxville
Whig, comes with all the weight of au-
thoriiy as from the mouth of the King:
Hon. De Witt Clinton is the speaker
of the Senate of Tennessee. He was
elected to that position with the under
standing that Gov. Brownlow would be
elected United States Senator, and that
Col. Senter would fill out the unexpired
portion Of his term, which will be seven
months. 1t has been erroneoualy sup
posed by certain interested parties
that Seuter was an asplrant for
Congress in the Erst district For
the information of these men we will
say that, under, no circumstances, will
Senter be candidate for Congress. If
he were we doubt not he would be elected.
In accordance with the wish Of the loyal
people of the whole State, be will serve
out the unexpired term Of the present in
cumbent az Chief Executive of our State.
After tbis aushoritave statement of Col
onel Senter's position, we expect no
further Misrepresentation Of his senti-
ments and purposes.
