AMENDING HIsToRY.-One of the most incon-
venient things for the Liberals, is the history OF
the rebellion, much of which was written by
themselves, and which is yet fresh in the public
memory. They are all busily engaged in correct.
ing history, to help their side of the question,
even if it is at the expense of gallant soldiers.
The Charlottesville disaster worries them, partic-
ularly the disgraeeful panic of CARL sCHURz's
Corps, caused by the incompetence or cowar,lice
of its commander. To help them ont in this, they
have retained the services of Gen. HOOKER, the
commander of the army at the time of the ilisas-
ter; and among them, they have saddled the blame
upon Gen. HowARD, whose competence or cour-
age have never heretofore been doubted. But
when We remember the array of Generals who re-
treated north of the Rappahanock in disgrace.
HOOKER among them and also remember that
GRANT was the only commander who ever crossed
to the south side of that stream, and went stead
il! forward, without turning back, through the
Wilderness, through swamps, over rivers and over
Notifications, We do not wonder that the Failures
have banded together for selfprotection, under
the friendly wing of liberalism"

WASHINGTON, May 81.
All attempts the Greeleyites to smoke Senator
Schurz out from the position which he has taken
have signally failed, thus leaving him still mas
ter Of the situation. The New York Tribune, Of
yesterday, says in referring to the Greeley rati-
cation meeting to lie held in New York on Mon
day, that a letter has been received from Schurz,
which will he read at the meeting. Schurz's at
tention being called to this statement to-day, be
SAID 1t was true that he had written letter, but
only to say that he would not attend the meeting,
as requested. He had not said one word which
could be construed a. indorsiDg Greeley's nomina-
ton. Schurz spoke favorably of the frre trade
meeting last night, and tersely said: "Matters
are very much mixed, and no person can tell
what the end will be, which plainly mean: that

A DANGEROUS MAN.
BY CORPORAL BUMP.

mfr. Summer says that Grant is bold bad, dangcror
"A bold bad man Is General Grant,
As out frum Don-ison he crrpt
And took his hasty flight
From Pillows trembling lips there came
An echo, sounding much the same;
And Buckner thought his chief was right
Nor longer burst maintain the fight;
And then came down the rebel "bars."
An. from the fort hung stripes and stars.
That Grants dangerous mani said they;
And doubtless think the same to-day.
a bold bad man is General Grant,
Said Beauregard. morn.
As from the haushty traitors brow
The victors wrath was torn;
And from the field his legons went
BY orders General Grant had sent.
Then Shiloh's field was again,
Despite the host Of rebel men,
Who came an army boasting loud,
But went panic stricken crowd;
For Beauregard and all his men,
Perhaps thought Grant dangerous then.
"A bold bad man is General Grant,
Said Pemberton one day;
"Entreaties Of no avail
He will not 90 away.
A stubborn. mulish. dangerous man,
He wants rebel hides to tan
And still Grant cannon raked the town,
Until the rebel flags down;
And then banners. rent and torn.
Were through the streets of vicksburg borne
The bold. bad man, = that glorious FOURTH
Sent gladsome tidings to the North.
A bold bad man is General Grant,"
And poor Bragg eyes were dim
With tears. Said he: Il know
'Tis useless fighting him.
And soon the cheers from Grants brave men,
On Lookout's crest told where and when
The rebel General had to run,
And And what that bold, bad man" had done
That Grants q dangerous maui" he said,
As from the field his army aed.

Said Lee, that's plain to see;
He must he very bold indeed

Y GRANT is the only President whose father
and mother lived to see him elected to that high
honor. Perhaps this is not matter to felicitate
them upon, when We remember that these vencr-
able people have come in for large share of the
surplus abuse from their sons enemies.

Y The Olatha Mirror undertakes to give the
reason why certain Kansas editors are in favor
OF GRANT. Among others, it says the editor of
the Chief is for GRANT, because he has been elec-
ted to the Legislature number of times. As
the editor Of the Chief was elected every time by
the people, and every time but once without op-
position, it looks as if the people were of his way
Of thinking. We are satisfied to let il go at that

of the Mirror will feel better, when he is able to

The Hiawatha Dispatch publishes cock-and-
bull story, probably obtained from some person
who is interested in bringing such . thing about,
that the Atchison and Nebraska Railroad Compa-
nv are preparing to move the road from White
Cloud, running it through Highland, and passing
some miles wsst of us; and that the citizens Of
Highland have offered them 10000 to run the
road through that place. This yarn is being cop
led into other papers, and circulated as . fact.
The Dispatck has either Been imposed upon, or
the managers of the Atehison and Nebraska Road
are very untruthfnl men. They assert positively
that they have no'such idea. Major FIRTH has
repeatedly given assurances, and did so among
the Last things he said before going upon the train
upon which he was injured, that they did not in
tend TO remove the road from White Cloud They
are making surveys, with view of changing the
line in several places, to avoid heavy grades and
curves, but all these surveys contemplate re-en-
tering the present line before reaching White
Cloud. They made that back country survey full
ly before building the road, as did also the Denver
Company, and both satisfied themselves that they
would not make anything grades. They are
not going to abandon heavy grade, for the sake
of finding heavier one.
There is also good deal Of bOsh about High
land offering $4,000 Citizens of Highland assert
that they have not offered dollar-indeed, their
adventure with the Denver Road has satisfied
them with that experiment. One of the new
routes surveyed, takes the road along Mill Creek,
q short distance from Highland; but $4,000
would not begin to pay for building the road
over the backbone west of there.
These reports convey rather an exalted idea of
the calbre of the Atchison and Nebraska Railroad
Company. When their charter fixes the main
points of their linc and they received over $780,
300 for building the road that line to suppose
they void 80 round diekering for $4,000 bids to
induce them to make a change involving 800, 900

GREELEY AS PRINTER.-An old New York
