II WILL We like that strong, robust
expression. No one. having uttered it in
sincerity, was ever mean, crying man.
The pigmies of the world did not trouble
him, altho' they rose in masses to-puli him
down. He speaks, and the indomitable
prevails. His enemies fall before him. He
rides forth conquerror. Would you be
great? Would you be distinguished for
your scientific or literary attainments? Look
not mournfully at your lot, but with i will
breathing from your lips and bursting from
a great heart, you can not but prevail
Show us the man that never rose higher
than toadstool, and whose influence died
with his bretb, and we viii point you to a
creeping, cringing wretch, who trembles at
the approach ola spider, and faints beneath
a thunder cloud. Let the fires Of energy
play through your veins, and if your
thoughts are directed in right channels you
will startle the sIumbering universe.

ABOUT six months ago, in dead Winter,
the Kiowa tribe ofIndians, then hostile
band in Texas, made prisoners of family,
Of white settlers, consisting of six persons,
in Cook county of that State, and carried
them into captivity. Before they reached
their camping grounds they killed four of
the numbeF-the father, mother, uncle aud
babe. The other two, who were little
girls, aged respectively four and six years,
they kept as captiyes. Several weeks
ago Col Leayenworth, the Govern
ment agent for this tribe of Indians,
had occasion to visit their camping ground,
and there found these little children
prisoners. He compelled their release,
and has brought them to Washington. He
had them at the Capitol on Thursday and
says that as they are in the world alone
without a relative, he proposes that Con
gress deduct 500, 900 from the annuities of
the KioWas to raise and educate them. The
Indian appropriation is under consideration
in the Senate, and sufficient sum viii un-
doubtledy be set aside for such an object.

GRANT IN THE mExICAN WAR.


Toward night, as very hard fighting was
going on near the plaza, it was suddenly dis
covered that the detachment engaged was
almost out Of ammunition The men we're
under hot FIRE, and could not hold their
ground for moment without cartridges.
Taylor's headquarters were mile back out
side Of the town, at Fort Number Cne, a
captured redoubt. Grant who had been
with his regiment from the firing of the first
musket. volunteered to go and find him or
Twiggs, and order up ammunition.
He prepared for his ride behind house,
and then dashed out. The moment he
emerged from cover he was under sweep
ing artillery and musketry FIRE frem forts and
houses But he was probably the best
horseman in the army, and his skill did him
good service. Before running the hot gaunt-
let, he had adopted the posture Of the Ca
manche Indians in similar peril-lying
against the side of his horse, with one foot
thrown over the saddle and his hand clutch
ed in the name. Being on the opposite side
from the enemy, aud shots to harm him
must pass through the steed
His horse was well trained, and with
Grant clinging to him in that awkward po-
sition, and ''bobbing" up and down with
his motion. he started at quick run. On
the way he had to jump an earth wall nearly
four feet high. He made the leap spleu-
didly, and though balls whisted and shells
exploded all around him, Grant had the
good fortune to reach the fort safely. He
found Twiggs, who gave the order to for
ward the ammunition, but before it could
start our troops came pouring back With
great but fruitless gallantry, they had got
into place in which they could not stay.
As Grant himself afterward described it,
they were ike the man who caught wild

At this tho Express flares up and deals the

Tho Express says.
ave regret that our articles Of yesterday

do nothing to please these gentlemen, and we

Even If the Express had gone over, 1t at

what Might Have Been.

As to what might have been, but was not,
the New York Journal Of Commerce, now the
election is over, says:
" It was clear to all intelligent observers,
not blinded on either side by partisan preju.
dice, that the people Of the country at the DO.
ginning Of the year were somewhat tired Of
the oVerbearing insolence Of the radical p0r-
tion OF the dominant party, and wore ready to
assist In any reasonable effort to effect a d.
version In favor Of a more conservative nd.
ministration. We pointed this out to tho op.
position bsfOTe the July convention, and indI.
Gated clearly the conditions upon which a
campaign could be successfully conducted
under the auspices Of the Democratic party.
1t Is little to say that our advice was totally
dsregarded. The great body Of sound con.
sentative men not bound in party chains,
whose alliance was indispensable to success,
were alienatsd and disgusted from the outset,
and no concession was made in any form to
secure their cooperation, No party in the
wantonness of unlimited power ever triAed

THE END OF THE REBELLION.

When Lee surrendered to Grant at Apo.
mattor the county and the world noted the
rebellion ct u close; and 40 indeed would II
have been had all cor=u 1t circumstances
and tbs political issues of lSs tine favored
such result 1t is safe now to conclude that
such q contamination was not In accordance
with the designs Of Providence. 1t was neces.
sary that the nation should remain q while
longer in these preparatory struggles viii h
serve to teach and lead The way to safer and
surer grounds Of peace, prosperity, and order
and these have been hard, and we have waited
and iabored, not, as we trust, wholly in vain.
Tho election Of Gen. Grant enables him to
carry out ana perfect an assured peace to
give emphasis and iull force TO all those doc.
trines announced in the protocol with Lee
offered by Grant under tho apple tree at APP
pomattoI Court House.
We can now say confidently that on Tuesday
last the rsbsllion was ended, and peace hover
with all Its divine beatitudes over our broat
lind.
In many Of its features, the election ha
been marvellous one. The lessons arc dee
runs may read" Considering the issues q
stake, the intense excitement prevailing Ii
many portions Of the country, It passed o
with rs little turbulence and disorders Of
violent nature as could have been expected.
One grand thought must not DO lost sigh
Of, and that Is the one with which we com
menced this article, that the election oil
Tuesday ends the rebellion.
Now, let u, look forth for the next fou
years to peaco-peace and Republican Gov
eminent to US and our children, heueefOrtl
and forever.
The national Republican. [volume] (Washington City [D.C.]) 1866-1870, 1868-11-07

We SUPPOSE, now that Gen. Grant Is elected
by such a triumphant majority, that We ought
to be content, and say as little as possible
about the frauds, corruptions, and murderous
deeds Of our opponents. The way things
were done in Louisiana and some other
Southern States must remain q burning shame
against the robels in that quarter but they
shall DO taught yet how to hold peaceful cleo
tious. Had glorious Phil. Sheridan been
there they would have been taught it this time
There is a good time coming, boys wait a
little longer" Peaceful elections shall ye,
be held In all our land.
The national Republican. [volume] (Washington City [D.C.]) 1866-1870, 1868-11-07

Some o. our Democratic contemporaries arc
busy in getting up programmes which they
think President Grant ought to adopt, and
they also assume to make up for him Cabi.
net. The kindness of this proceeding on their
part may TO admired by the General and his
political friends but its mOdesty may we'll be
questioned. When General Grant asks for
the advice Of those parties who declared that
he was totally unfit for President; that he
was an ignoramus, a drunkard, and butcher,
1t will be time enough for them to give it.
Don't hurry, gentlemen.
