Yours, truly, U. s.. Grant,
Lieutenant General.
This is a copy of a note ad-
dressed by Gen. Grant, before
his election, to MIR. Markland. of
the Postoffice Department. We
have no idea of criticising the
Generals language, although he
was educated at the expense of
the country at West Point. But
we must say that his note is one
Of the most laughahle specimens
of writing that we remember
ever to have seen. He could
not have written it if there hadn't
been q thicker fog upon his brain
than ever hung over swamp or
fen. What he meant to say
every reader can guess for him
self. What he does say is that
'the great rebellion commenced
at Cairo, Illinois, and he 'hopes
it is not yet ended..'' If any Of
his friends, jealous for his literary
reputation. are disposed to swear
that he means in good faith ex-
actly this thing, we shall not
quarrel with thems on that ac-
count.-Co1rier-Jouyn

A REMARKABLE EscAPB.-The
Crockett (Texas) Sentinel gives
the following particulars Of one
Of the most remarkable escapes
on record: aae ss.c'. .rsa
A week or so ago Rev. Henry
Jennings, colored, went from
this place to Tyler, Smith county,
and on his return he was caught
in a thunder storm. He was on
horseback, and had a led horse
tied to the tail Of the, horse he
was riding. His horse became
frightened andh alighted and
held him by the bride Bit. While
down.. a tree near by was riven
by lightning and himself and
horse prostrated to the ground.
When he recovered conscious
ness, his own and horses head
were lying together; the horse
was cold and still in death. The
led horse ives uninjured. sJen-
nings had a silver watch melted
in his pocket. This is one Of the
most miraculous escapes we ever
knew of. .e -.. d: +. ''

THEI lINsuLr- 70 HARM,

| The Insult TO HAYTI.-A
second time it is announced that
President Salnave conceives that,
as the head of = black republic,
he has been insulted by the ap.
pointment Of a negro to represent
the United States as minister to
that republic. Preposterous and
paradoxical as this may seem
upon a cursory view, it has its
logical aspect. President Salnave
has seen that only to Hayti and
Liberia have negroes been sent
in s1ch a character by an admin.
ietration that was, theoretically,
unidentified with doctrines which
utterly repudiated distinctions of
color and race. Why this limi-
tation, he might argue, if no
discrimination is intended. and if
practice is TO be in rigid accord
with theory! h.. If the ad,ninistra-
ton carefully refrains from
making anybody but a white man
minister to any respectable gov
ernment Of white men, what can
prompt it to this course but the
belief that no negroiis fit for such
. position /? And if that is. its
belief, does it not put an affront
upon me, upon the Haytien re-
public. and upon my race, BY

Fon OUR YOUNG Men ABOUT
TowN.-We clip the following
from the Gonzales (Texas) In
quirer
Two sons of our friend, Capt.
j. Z. Renfro, aged respectively
thirteen and fifteen years, set out
this year to make a crop for
themselves. Their father gave
them the land, which they broke
up and planted early in the
season, putting in thirty-ive
acres Of corn, two of cotton and
three of millet, making forty
acres in all. The whole crop has
been thoroughly cultivated by
themselves, is now in fine condi-
ton, and gives promise of re-
wardlng the little fellows very
handsomely. ..
Those boys never did any farm
work before, but were sickly and
delicate i; now they are in fine
health and can do as much plow-
ing as any negro on the captains
farm. We wish the kid glove
gentry of our towns and cities
would profit by the worthy exam-
pie of these noble little boys. 10

UNDER THE Rosn. This saying
took its origin from the carnival
usages of the Romans, with
whom it was an ancient custom
to wear chaplets of roses on their
heads at feasts. When they
desired matters spoken Of at table
to go no further, they would OBJ
serve, remember this is said
sub rosa," i. e. under the rose or
in other words, it is sacred, from
the very nature of social and con-
fidential intercourse. The Ger
man custom of having a rose
painted on the ceiling, over the
dining table may have come from
the same source, and have been
originally meant to remind the
guests Of the sanctity Of unre-
strained convivial intercourse.
With the Greeks and Romans the
rose was also used as the symbol
of silence, which gives this pro-
verbal expression significance.

each parish to pay the expense of this
work including tn. map. One Of these
pamphlets might be sent to to every Posi-

to twenty thousand could be sent to neigh

where such information is most wanted
All the lands for sale in this country
might be advertised iu the same pamphlet

Each parish could get up its own lie
scrpton and statistics, or furnish Us all the
