HNhe magnitude TO which the Sewing Ma
IL chine business has grown is only sur
passed by the rivalry of the various Compel

numerous articles resorted to for the COM
mendation and sale of the particular ma

II the number of sales be any criterion of
the merits of the different machines, il can
not be denied that the Singer, owing to the
popularity of what is known as our "New

more machines than any other company, as
shown by sworn returns of the companies,

edge and accept your nomination

That your convention saw fit to

who had been prominetly and

Republicans should present an

and would more readily have
united with us in the support of
Adams or Trumbul, Davis or
Brown, is well known. owe my
adoption at Baltimore to the fact
that had already been nomina-

centration of forces upon any
new ticket had been proved
impracticable. Gratifed as am
at your concurrence in the Gin

am that you would not have thus
concurred had you not deemed me

nothing in the circumstances cal

But that your convention saw

. profoundest satisfaction. That

How GnANr WENT INro AVID Cor Orr

OF Adh WILDERNESS. jim Nyo, the
Senator from Nevada, made a grand
spread eagle speech. recently, showing
forth the glories OF General Grant. He
dwelt with apeoial delight on his hero's
campaign in Virginia. The correspond.
ent of the New York World gives an ao.
count of the speech. and on this particu-
lar point takes up the orator, and shows
how Grant got into and out of "the
Wilderness" We quote his interesting
historical facts:
Nye launched into a fulsome eulogy OF
Grant ns soldier. and he was particu-
larly vociferous on Grant and his CAM
pnlgn from the Rapidan to Richmond and
Appomattox Court House. It is not for
the poor purposes of answering Nye,
but to anticipate the thunders of speak
ers who will be listened to far and wide
next summer, when they speak of TINT
hldeous campaign, that revive the true
record OF it here. "Grant has been in
the wilderness before" declared Nye.
'and he will come out Of it as he did be-
fore" How did he come out of it?
Let US see. Grant. on assuming com
mand May 4. 1854, hud Of effective men,
besides tho reserves, when he crossed
the Isapidau, 1875 Lee, at the same
date. had an effective force of 1900.
Grants reinforcements up to the battle
OF Cold Harbor, June 8, were $1,000.
Lees reiDforcements up to the same
date were $4,000 Grants total force.
including reinforcemen.s, was $4,000.
Lees total force, including reinforce
ments, was 10000. Returns to their re-
spcctlvo Governments showed that when
both armies hud reached the james,
Juno 10. the number Of Grants army
that had been put hors du combat was
117,O00
Up to the same date, the number of
Lees army TINT had been put hors du
combat was $4,000. Grant had moro
than three men for every one that Lee
had-222. 600 to 10000 Grant lost
more than six men for every one that
Lee los!-l17, 900 to $4,000. Grant lost
us many men rs all Lee had and Il, 900
over bali us many more besides-117, 900
to 7O, QUO. Graut having in the first in
stance more than twice us many men as
Lee-125, 000 to 52,OOO-yet had to be
reinforced by more men than all Lee
ever had-97, 900 to 10000. These enor-
NOUS armies did not suffice to overthrow
Lee. This line, which was fought on
all summer, was abandoned. All that
summer and the fall succeeding, and
then tho winter, and at last the spring
we're spent, before. by this system of ex-
changing SIX dead or wounded Northern
soldiers Tor every one dead or wounded
Southern soldier, the exhaustion of Lee
and his army became complete at Apo
mattox Court House. This being the
way III which Grant got out of the mill
tary wilderness, we may imagine over
what wreck and overthrow and ruin Of
the best interests of his country he will,
II he does, escape from tho wilderness
OF popular doubt and disfavor that now
envlrons his path to re- election.
