and his views one way or the other made put
little difference. The case was dl1ereut whn
Rawlins, however. He was widely kno Rn as q
Democrat and in his speeches had bitterly de
nounced the Republicans. His declaration In
favor of cOercive measures was all the more
surprising from the fact that at the time the
great leader of his wing of the Democratic
party Senator Douglas, had notyet made known
his intended action. -
In August. 1851, at the special request OF then
Brieadler General u. =. Grant, he received the
appointment of Assistant Adjutant Genera1,
with the rank of Captain, aud was assigned to
that officer. AT this time Mr.. Rawlins WAS
SPOKEN OF as the Major OF the famous 46th IilI-
pois Volunteers other wise known as the Lead
Mine Regiment; and the drst lntimatiOu he had
of his appointment was through the neWspa-
pers, aud mmediately after through an order
from General Grant assigning him to duty. The
order was dated SeptemberS, 1861.
From that time up to the present he has been
continually at the side OF General Grant, aud
accompanied him in all his campaigns, tue
landmarks of which are the battles OF Belmont,
Fort Henry, Fort Donelson, Shiloh, COrinlh,
Iuka, the Tallahachie expedition to Oxford,
Mississippi, Port Gibson, Raymond, Jackson,
Champions Hil', Big Black, the Gro wniag vic
tory of vlcksburg, Chattanooga, the Wilder
hess, North Anna Pamunkey, TOlooo0tomoy,
Cold Harbor, and the front OF Petersburg and
Richmond. At Culpeper Court House, Va,
General Grant presented General RaWlns wi h
a sash. with the following noe:-

citation OF him 9 a officer and friend.
u b. GRANT, Lieutenant-aeneral
In the line OF promotion Captain Rawlins was
made mai jor February 16, 1862, and brigadler-
general OF volunteers August IL, 1868. He was
first appointed chief OF staff to General Graut in
November, 1862, aud has held that position,
either by full rank or acting, ever since. The
special enactment of Congress creating the
office of chief of staff TO Lieutenant General
Grant conters upon General Rawins, who has
been appointed to the position, the status of q
brigadier general of the regular army. On
March 3, 1855, General Rawlins was confirmed
by the United States Senate as brevet ma jor.

The subject OF this sketch received q common
school aud academic education, and until nearly
tW enty three years OF age lived OIL a farm and
was engaged in agricultural pursuits. In

p. Stevens, of Galena, where he made the
acquaintance Of President Grant. In October,
1854. he was adaItted To tho bar, aud opening
an Office, commenced the practice OF his pro-
fessioD. N which, although he did not make a
fortune, he may be said 10 have been tolerably
successful.
Although General RaWlins held no public
Offices prior TO the war, he was known in Galena
az sn active, influential, and able Democratic
p0l'ticien. He was nominated In 1860 for the
Office OF Democratic elector on the Douglas

Special Despatch TO The EUent'0 Telegraph.
PORTLAND. Me-, March IA train on the
Grand Trunk Railroad which arrived here las:
night brings news of a very severe storm in
Canada. The storm extended as far as Gorham,
N. Fl. The railroad and highways are COM
pletely blocked. In some places the people are
suffering for provisions, it being utterly impos.
sible to reach them with supplies. One or two
trains on the Grand Trunk Road have succeeded
in getting through. 1t has been some two or
three days since freight train has been through
from Montreal. In many cases freight ls being
sent through by express. 1t is feared that
much of that now on board the trains will be
badly damaged, as some time must elapse before
the road can be cleared sufficiently to allow the
goods to get through.

cordial assent to the arrangement
1t was understood that at some time during

which could be made by the Democrats; and IT
was equally understood that the Democrats. II
they were so disposed. could make the process
very annoying and troublesome. even although
they were In the minority. The movement this
morning was fair and just effort at concllia-
lion.
Mr.. Bum, n,ofPhilsdelphis, of Republican, moved
TO restrict ali speeches 10 thirty minutes which
was opposed by Mr.. Davis, Republican, as q
violation OF the spirit of the agreement just
