GRANT EATS HUMBLE PIE.
CHICAGO, Jan. 6-Orville Grant, in refer
ence to letter recently published, ack nowl-
edges he wrote a similar letter long ago, but
has since written to the President generating
both Bloomfield and J1ssen from all blame
and expressing regret for having unintention-
ly prejadiced him against honorable men and
good officers. He says:-'I also in that last
letter recommended that Bloomfield and JUS
sen be retained in office" Grant very frankly
apologized to Bloomfield and Jussen, which is
regarded here by Republicans as highly honor
able, and who are also gratified that the Presi-
dents retention of these men in Office is so
well explained. In reply to suggestion that
the President would be much annoyed by the
publication of the letter, Orville Grant said:-
Eyes, of course it will that. 1t will annoy
him more than my own personal feeling. My
near relation to the President up to this time
has kept me out of ever meddling with polti-
cal matters. AS l said before, am plain
business man, and know nothing about poll
tics. The President has enough to worry him
without having me dragged into public notice.

A Bordeaux despatch says that during the
battle which recently took place in the vicinity
of Bapaume, tho ground occupied by the hos
tile armies was several times lost and retaken.
The French troops took six villages during the
engagement. storming and capturing every po-
sition in which the Prussans endeavored to es-
tablish themselves. Slowly but irresistibly
they were driven back by the Brilliant and i'm
petuous charges of the French battalions The
Prussfans lost 5000 troops in the engagement.
The decisive victory gained by the French
troops on this occasion was mainly attributa-
BILE to the excellence of their artillery and the
splendid manner in which it was handled.
The enemy observed this. and several times
during the battle made determined charges
with the view of effecting capture of the bat
teries and position held by the enemy's artill-
erists, but the efforts proved futile. Every at
tempt was met by q tremendous raking can
nonade, which so|thinned their columns that
they were forced, after several attempts, to
abandon the project as hopeless.
Great excitement prevails at Bordeax, where
nhe details of the engagement have been re-
ceived. The people and troops are wild with
exultaton over the success of the French arms.
Gen. Manteuffel telegraphs from Amiens on
the Sd inst, that Gen. Bentheim with troops
from the first army corps attacked the French
early Tuesday morning on the left bank of the
Seine andI captured three cannon, three flags
and five hundred prisoners. Gen. Bentheim
himself telegraphs from Cloneu the 14th, con-
frming the above intelligence and adds that
he has pursued the enemy beyond Bourgach-
ard. The battle lasted throu hout the day.
