ULYSSES THE LlrrLE.-Under this caption Mack,'s
the Washington correspondent Of the Cincinnati En-
Gulref writes OF the removal of Gen. Frank P Blair
Jr.. as Commissioner of the Pacific Railroad:
met old man Blair" as they call him, (the father
OF Gen Bair) to-day and in tie course of short con-
versitlon the subject of Grants removal of Frank from
the petty Office OF Pacific Railroad Commissioner was
alluded to. Mr.. Blair seemed to be deeply hurt not
because of the removal but because of the manner in
which 1t was done He said he had taken pains to in
torn Grant, very soon after his Inauguration that
Frank did not intend to embarrass him by holding the
Office, but would resign it within month There was
some particular reason why he wished to remain even
that long, but Grant was also told that if he wished
TO appoint somebody else Immediately, Frank would
resign forthwith rather than be formally dismissed
The request from an old gentleman who has been
respected by every President since the days of Jack
son, in behalf of bis son, who one of the bravest
and best Federal officers from the Northwest SO far

said in former letter, the day that he removed

The conservative papers in the ex-rehelious States
express much more confidence in Gen. Grant than is
announced BY the Democratic papers in the border
southern States. Que reason is, probably, that the
reconstrncting States have much gain or lose
by the new President; another doubtless is that the
papers OF those States beginning to look matters
without reference TO party issues The Southern peo-
pie have no time or stomach for party politics. They
want to live in sort Of comfort, and to be as
least free enough carry their Industrial opera
tons in their own way, and will be slow to give up
the hope that Gen. Grant is practicable and humane
enough to appreciate their situation

SUICIDE OF ARMY CFFicEns.-Two melancholy sui
cdes lately occurred in San Francisco, both Of which
were in the regular army. The body of Lieut. John
f. Small found i'll his ROOM dressed in full uniform,
and completely covered by the clothing Of the bed.
On stand the head of the couch vial which
had contained chloroform. He left several letters,
one of which read as follows:
SAN Francisco, Feb. 10, 1869.
"My Dear Brothcr-1 cannot endure life longer.
Go to the Fort and get everything there that belongs
to me. Shoald any one speak of me in your pres
ence in terms that reflect upon my honor gentle
man, my integrity as a man, shoot him on the spot
Good bye dear brother; live and be happy if possible
and when you die, die game.

A part Of the counterpane had been saturated with
coroform; he had also covered his face with it, and
thus passed off into the sleep Of DEATH lie had plenty
of means, and held an honorabl position and
son is known why he should have destroyed his own
life.
The same day the body Of Lieut. Col. john G. Scott
found his bed, with both his wrists cut on both
Sides completely severng the arteries, the blood from
Which had flowed into washing bowl at one side and
into the water pitcher the other. Everything went
to show that after cutting his wrists he must have held
them the two vessels until life became almost ex
tinc and it must have required wonderful coolness
considering his terrible position. An empty bottle,
marked laudinum and poison, and half bottle Of
chloroform found i'll the room, but there was no
evidence that he had taken poison. :.

There is unwonted activity at the South this year.
The election of Grant has settled the situation for four
years, and the people longer listen to political lead
who delude them with such false lights they
held out year ago We have thousand evidences
in the papers, that the people turning their aten
ton to agriculture, and that they making prcpara
tons to raise larger crops than for many years past
Land, too finding market, and hundreds of pieces
of property are changing hands. There is change
in tone, ALSO and there are fewer outrases upon free
dom Of speech They begin to be tolerant Of settlers
and to speak complacenty of those who come among
them. Violence and disorder have had their reign
and have done greater harm to the South than to the
North. All these things ausur new era which shall
usher in career of prosperity and Improvement.
Let the Southern people labor inluStriously and
vigorously they fought, and they will indeed create
IA new nation, which shall surpass the widest dreams

Herald of late date gives this:

A MosT SINGULAR CAsE-The Oregon
Herald of late date gives this:
About six weeks ago Gull w Hess, of Yam
hill county, was shot by man named Morris.
The shot passed through the feshy part of his
right arm above the elbow. and also through
the skin of the right side, and came out at the
back. The wound was dressed and Hess went
home, his arm being close to his side and over
his right breast
Mrs. Hess, the wife of the wounded man,
was ut that time cncientc, and on learning what
had occurred, she was considerably agitated.
rs matter of course, but there were no unu-
sual or extraordinary demonstrations on her
part-no tainting or epilepsy whatever. Eight
or ten days ago, however, that is about five
weeks after the wounding of her husband she
gave birth to twins, seven months old and still
born, one OF whom was "marked" in the
most singular and extraordinary manner. On
examination it was ascertained that a hole had
been made through its right arm and side cor
responding exactly to that made on the arm
and side of Mr.. Hess; that the position of the
arm was that of the arm of Mr. H., and that
inflammation had ensued and the right arm had
grown to the right side; ard that the hole il,
the arm had partially healed up and cicatrized
We consider this one of the most singular and
extraordinary cases on record showing the
wonderful maternal influence often exerted
over the fcstus during pregnancy.

.lnd;nO to this late Gettysburg lob, saws


For our part we think the old Greeks were
wise when they enacted that neither stone nor
canvas nor monumental trophy Of any sort
should ever perpetuate the memory Of their ciyh
wars. Such wars like family quarres, best FOR
gotten. What Greece did Rome did as regards
her civil wars, and we find that the much coveted
honor of triumph was refused to general
"when Rome was Free" whose victory, however
important, was only over Roman citizens. Per
haps it was from some traditional policy like TINS
that we ind that tho civil wars ofSPaia, France
and England, however sangulnary Whie tney
lasted, have left no monumental trace behind
them In fact, it is far better, far wiser, that 1t
should be so, What nation is not ashamed OF its
civil wars? Could history itself be made to
forget them and "blot them out forever 1t would
be better.
This, believe is the true sentiment OF
every patriotic American, if he will divest
himself of party prejudice and look at the
matter in national Instead of a party as
