MISCELLANY.
A CONFEDERATE REMIN1S-
ENCE.


The Washington correspondence of
the New York Times had given the
bubble some revelations concerning the
attempt to remove Gen. Grant from the
eunmand of the federal army during the
Mississippi campaign, and of a curious
correspondence between Generals Hal
leck and Banks pertaining to that point.
It appears, according to the Times
narrative, that Halleck had become dis
pleased with Grant after the battle OF
Shiloh, and had sought his removal,
Offering the position to Quartermas-
ter BY the name of Robert Allen, but
had failed. In the Fall of 1862, the
attempt was renewed by influences
brought to bear on Lincoln in favor Of
Gen. McClernand, who had been bold
enough to declare that "he was tired of
furnishing brains for the Army of Ten
nessee." But this intrigue only result
ed in assigning McClernard to an in
dependent command. After the fail
ure of the second assault on Vicksburg,
positive order was sent to General
Banks, then investing Port Hudson, to-
displace Grant and assume the command
of the army and operations at. Vicks-
burg. This drew forth an expostula-
ton from Banks against the policy OF
abandoning his position as the key OF
the lower Mississippi. This expostula-
tiou drew forth renewal of the com
maud accompanied by sharp repri-
mand for previous disobedience of Or
ders. The correspondence and in
.rigues were closed by the fall Of Vicks-
burg. This correspondence, it is prom
ised, will be published to the world
Grant has come to the knowledge OF it,
.-s..l-s4.-..--7--:--<s--Vf-0fsOf"f froIo's s.
has announced his determination to re-
tire from public life.
These revelations recall an incident
related to the writer by the late Con-
tederate General ". H. T. Walker
About the time Of the second assault
O. Vicksbu g, scout, d tached, we be-
live, to Writ Adams command, hav-
ing duly reported, paid an evening WIS.,
it to some army acquaiutances. Seated
in small circle of subalterns around
camp fire of course, he was the centre Of
attraction. Many incidents of adven
lures were told, and Items concerning
the news from the United States, and of
operations of the "Yanks" were related.
Among other things he stated that
plan had been proposed for creating
negro insurrection, with a simultaneous
c ,perative movement of the Federal
army, bat Il a General Grant had re-
fused to join in carrying it out, sayin.
that he would march his army back
until the negro fighting was over that,
that was not his mode of warfare: that
this refusal had occasioned great i'll feel
ing toward the Federal commander;
that his removal was looked forj tina,
General McCleruand had come from
Washington with an order in his pock
ct from Lincoln to assure CONN and,
w!.ich he lad presented to G nera'
Grant; but that Grant had thrown the
order into the fire, and told the General
that his Divtston uouH more nert mar
ming at three o'clock, and adoised him
to go vith II.
1t would be strange if subsequent
historical developments should prove
the exactness and faithfulness Of a
Confederate scout.

THE AMERICAN LEGATION AT THB COURT OF PORTUGAL
Minister Harvey, at Lisbon, is not a very popular
man with the good easy people OF the Portuguese
capital. He is what they call "a mean man. > the
definition Of which they give as man who accents
They say the citizen does not live who has tasted of
edibes at his table, while Mr. Harvey, on the other
hand, dimes out every day of the year almost.
Strange to say the United States naval officers cor
roborate these assertons they also say that he is
'mean man" He never gives them dinners lie
never even invited Admiral Godsborough or Farraqut
to his house. This last is bad very bad If true lie
should at least have shown the courtesy of gentle
man to these two great heroes, which perhaps would
have cost him in all just ten dollars, and the Admit
rails, being gentlemen, would have recprocated the
courtesy very readily, / have no doubt which would
have diminished the expense third
But there is charge made against him which is
not consistent with the law laid down for the guild
ance of officers in the service of the United States
Government, viz that he writes to newspapers for
pecunary pay, which he performs in a very ingen-
Gus manner II is said that he is the correspondent
OF an AmeriCae newspaper, who is supposed TO write
from Paris. This is in toto contra to the law Per-
haps change might be beneficial here also, as in
the others which have sketched out
AMERICAN AMBASSADORS AND CoNsUIs AT OTHER
PLACES.
We possess some men, however, who forget not
their country who forget not that they American
gentlemen, supposed to represent one of the
grandest nations on earth, whose characters are
spotess, and of these, OF the rank of ambassador
Bancroft, at Berlin; Dix at Paris, and Bartlett at
Stockholm. We have also very many first rate men
as COnsuls, Of whom we may mention Farrell. at
Cadiz; Conway, at Marseilles; Goodfellow, Consul
General, at ConstantinOple Johnson, at Beyrout
Webb, at Zanzibar; the Consul-General at Calcutta
our Consul at Bombay; Seward, at Shanghae, and
several others. But then we have Consuls and
Consu-Generals who are nothing more than low
drunkards brutes, who disgrace the very name Of
man, and then we have men who are in other WAYS
utterly unit to hold office, and General Grant should
exercise the very greatest that such men as are
totally ncapacated from performing their duties,
mentally as well as morally, should no longer he a
reproaCh to the nation of which he is the elected
head.

CHAMPION SAFES !!
UNSUCCESSFUL BURGLARY.
LETTER OF MESSRs. DAVID DOWS Il co.
NEW YORK, April 10, 1869.
HERRING, FARREL y SHERMAN,

HERRING FARREL d SHERMAN,
No. 251 Broadway.
Gents:-On the night Of the 22d ultimO our store,
No. 20 South street. was entered and desperate at
tempt made by burglars upon one Of your safes in
COunting-room.
The key to the safe which we kept our securities
was locked inside of fire-proof book safe, the
doors of which literally cut to pieces; from this
they obtained the key to the other safe and opened
it. Fortunately we had one Of your Burgar-ProOf
Bankers Chests inside, in which our valuables were
deposited. This they went to work at with will,
and evidently used up all their time and tools in vain
attempts to force it, The night dark and stormy,
and the fact OF their knowing where our key
kept shows that their plans were well matured. They
tried wedgng the door and body OF the Chest, and
the faithful safe bears evidence Of the labor and skill
devoted to the work. All useless and it is with
great satisfaction report that upon opening it we
found our securities all SG and can therefore cheer
fully ndorse the Burglar-Proof work recommended
by yOu
You Will please send the new safe purchased by us
to our countinghouse and take the old one to show
that some safes are still manufactured worthy of the
name. DAVID Dows Il co.
