Insult to Grant at st. Joseph.

A gross insult was offered tc General Grant and
his party On the occasion Of then passage through
ST. Joseph the other day The crowd st the depot
OF the Generals arrival was immense and most
cordial aud enthusiastic welcome Wa given to him
A man named / o. Hayes, having been filled
with whisky for the occasion, footed horn aud
Others cheered for Seymour and hoosed and howled
IL the most boisterous and insulting manner. As
as the excitement subsidized little, Gen Sher-
man spoke rs follows General Grant and myself
know how to appreciate any spirit Of respect but
neither he myself are TO he Disconnected BY any
large crowd. We are used to large crowds and we
cannot be Disconnected Gen. Grant has declined ~
make speech, and think-occupying the position
he does before the countryhe acts the part of wis
dom
Here some one called for three cheers for Blair
and the cheers of the rufans and the grosns of the
loyal people interrupted the General FOR some time
As soon as partial quiet was restored, Gen Sherman
said Gentlemen, l do not in general counsel yio-
lence, but we're l citizen of ST. Joseph, l would
take that nan referring to the one who commenced
the disturbance down TO the Missouri river and
duck him. We have fought rebels and We thought
they had enough Of fighting. This sentiment
called out prolonged and hearty cheers, and the
General finding he could not be heard further, re-
tired.
A ST. Louis dispatch says IN connection with the
above:
THE cid rebelllous spirit Of 1861 Is cropping out
IN many parts vi the State and there will be lively
times and not little bloodshed before the cam
paign is over. Frank Blairs letter and the teach
ings of Wade Hampton, Governor Wise, Robert
Toombs and their allies, are having their legiti-
mate effect and cannot result but in tuuult and
conflict

to that barrel of "Burbon County, painted
blue, and branded on the head g George
81. Thomas" He said that this would be
statesman and played-out military chieftian
in his letter in answer to the Governors
dispatch, either branded himself as a fool
ora liar. If the General, in fact did not
have troops enough to spare few to send
TO Tennessee in times of imminent peril
and there was absolute danger of the Ku-
kiux, he had it in his power to order up a
sufficient achievements 10 assist him
General Quarels, however, convinced his
hearers that the whole correspondence be-
tween Thomas and Brownlow had been
gotten up for political effect.
This man QuareLs no doubt uttered his
real sentiments in his speech, the document
he signs, he signed for effect.
The Banner thus further reports thls re
bel agitator, in this same Paris speech
His remarks upon the suffering privation
and oppression inflicted upon the masses Of
the people Of Tennessee were listened to
with great attention. He addressed HIM
self particularly to the returned rebels Il
large number OF whom were present, and
spoke Of the hardships and privations they
80 nobly and periodically contended against
during the war, and OF the oppression and
insults dow daily heaped upon them. He
advised them TO submit to these things a
short while longer that the day Of deliv-
erance was near at hand. But, said the
General, forbearance may cease to be a viz
tue, and when you have submitted as
long as your manhood will Justify it, then
rise up in one solid column and tens of
thousands of friends North will be at your
side

nand upon her ample bosom, but Illinois gets the
particular benefit of her successful lsctstion. Mr.
Edward Bates, in Mr.. Lincoln's cabinet, was 4 Vir
GINA man hailing from Missouri. Pennsylvania
produced Bingham of Ohio, Kentucky yielded
Baker of Illinois, Virginia brought forth Blow of
Missouri, Ohio may claim Hendricks of Indiana,
and this list of men born in place and reaching
greatness in another might be considerably pro-
longed. Even Yancey of Alsbams was d carpet
bag transfer from Georgia, while John Slidell Of
Louisiana was the valuable gift of New York Of
the two men who st great historic period were the
most prominent in the Republic it may bs noted
that Abraham Lincoln of Illinois vas born in Ken
lucky, and Jefferson Davis of Miss issippi in Ken
lucky.
The cry against Northern men who settle i'll the
Southern States is the last dying gasp Of the rebel
lion the final eballition of hatred which we be-
lieve is destined to pass swsy with those who child
ishly entertain it; The sign OF prejudce OF which
the next generation will know nothing At least feel
nothing. 1t wss by no means the smallest evil Of
slavery that it engendered and nourished that petty
jealousy with which prosperity Is usually regarded
by mon Of failing fortunes. We do not suppose
that the Union will ever be free from local rivsries,
but we do confidently anticipate the time when, as
between the North and South, even these will be
free from that small and suspicious passion with
which the slave States have been accustomed 10 re-
gard Northern prosperity; and this desirable con-
summation emigration from the free States will I'M
doubtedly hasten.
