Stephens Estimate of Grant.

In tho second volume of his work on the
Rebellion, A, II. SrEpuEN's, the Vice Prcs-
dent of the Southern Conledracy, gives the fol-
lowing ms his estimate of Gen. GRANT as
formed from personal observation:
81 was never so much disappointed in
my life, in my previously formed opin-
ions, of either the personal appearance
or bearings cf any one, about whom
had read and heard so much. The dis
appointment, moreover, was in every re-
spect favorable, and agreeable. | was
instantly struck with the great simplici-
ty and perfect naturalness Of his man
ners, and the entire absence of everything
like atfrctation, show, or even the usual
military air or mien of men in his pesit-
ion. lie was plainly ,atired, sitting in
log cabin, busily writing on small Ia
BILE, by kerosene lamp. 1t was right
when we arrived. There was nothing
in his appearance or surroundings which
indicated his official rank. There were
neither guards nor aids about him. Up
on Col. Babcock's rapping ut his door,
the response, "Come in," was given by
himself, in tone Of voice and with ca
dence which can never forget. His
conversation was easy and fluent. with
out the least effort OF restraint. In this,
nothing was so closely noticed by me as
the point and terseness with which he
expressed whatever he said. He did not
seem either TO court or avoid eonversa-
ton, but whenever he did speak, what
he said was directly to the point and
covered the whole matter IN few words.
| saw before being with him long, that
he was exceedingly quick in perception
aud direct in purpose, with vast deal
more of brains than tongue, as ready as
that was at his command.
