no GEN JOHN A. McCLRRNAND, who command
ed the 18th corps at Vicksburg, is out in sharp
letter saying that Gen. Grant never did his
corps justice in his report, Though maleyo-
hence to its commander, and the proofs are ON
file in the War Department. Gen. Grant, he
says, would stand very differently in the pub
lie estimation if his real character was known.
So goes an Associated Press dispatch Of yes
terday. When Grant was before Vipksburg, at
that time comparatively an unknown man,
McClernand, who had been in CONGRESS. was
inclined to put on airs and treat his superior
patronizngly. For this conduct he was most
effectually snubbed, and feels sore accordingly.
a
fA WENDELL PHILLIPS would evidently an
swer Mr. Summers question, "Are we, a. ma

thinks it proper for the general government
to establish proper system of common school
IN every State. "The right shonld be claimed
by the National Government to oversee this
aud to set up at the States expense an efficient
and impartial system, if any State fails to pro-
vide one" There is nothing revolutionary in
this, however, for he proposes 10 effect his OBJ

Defending the Apostates.


The Chicago Tribune, and the Evening Post,
have undertaken the job of defending Trum-
bull and Grimes. We can easily account for
the course of the Tribune, but are at loss to
find q reason for the attitude of the Post. We
know that while the Illinois State Republican
Convention was in session at Peoria lately.
the editors of those papers used their person.
al influence to defeat resolution urging the
Conviction of Andrew johnson. This was
when the public had only suspicion that
Grimes and Trumbull would not vote to con.
vict. Did the editors Of those papers knew at
that time what the Sen ators would do? Why
were they SO anxious to suppress . resolution
which they knew expressed the sentiments of
the Republican party Of Illinois? Before
Trumbull and Grimes declared how they would
vote the Tribune in lachrymose editorial
pleaded the cause Of any Republican Senator
who might vote for acquittal. 1t sought to
prepare the way very nicely. No sooner had
Grimes got off his speech than the Tribune
rushed it into print, from the first word to the
last, inclusive. Does Mr. Grimes control thu
columns Of the Iribunc9 How much stock
does ne own in that paper? But, however
much these ,ceU posted papers may blow in
behalf Of their pets, they cannot screen them
from the condemnation their apostacy deser>

FINE PREACHING.

The curse Of this age is fac preaching, atl
morbid and pestilential. Tie want Of the
age is plain intelligent preaching-preaching
suggestive and illustrative-prcaching ao-
sorbing oil that eloluencc can offer; elo4uence
adapting itself to the wants and tastes OF the
people, avaihng itself Of the light Of history
fer illustration, or Of science for confirmation
or Of phiology for calculation, and holding all
so aloft, that they may reflect their rays upon
the genius Of christianity, and develop its su-
perior lustre, adaptibility and power. TO at
tempt to say fne things is q solemn sin and
fine sermons, Qikc all other fnery,) are very
evanescent in their influence. Let the fine
sermon system die out as fast as possible, un-
less it is to God and man. 1t devolves upon
q few men to show to those not gifted with
rs much moral courage, that there is every,
thing to gain and nothing to lose, by adopting
o pure and religious course through life, and
an honest system ofrcligious instruction. In
tclligence will ever HE its way to the minis
ter able to teach, sound practicable religion.
Eloouence consists in feeling truth yours
self, and making those who hear you feel it
Eloauence is not vociferating, it is not stamp
ing hole in the platform, or beating the dust
out Of the pulpit cushions; or tearing your
coattail in the violence Of your gesticulahons
a Ia George Francis Train,) it is not hoid'n
your breath, until your face is purple ana the
eve blood shot; it is not the kissing through
the teeth, like the hiss Of viper nor the
crouching down, then bounding upward ike
wild cat springing upon 'possum; nor the
raying about from one side Of the pulpit to the
other; until the skin is drenched in persplra>
ton, and the bodyweakened into helplessness;
you are not eloquent in all this, unless II DC
for the grave, for ii is suicidal and impruden'
and does more harm than good.
