The Cincinnati Commercial, in a New York
letter, says Horace Greeley is a great deal
more earnest and determined in his opposition
to the denomination of Gen. Grant than most
people suppose, or than has vet appeared from
anything he has written in the Tribune. In
conversation on the subject he expresses him
self with all his Characteristic pungsncy. He
says that it is no sham fight in which he is en-
gagged, but a real struggle, in which he "fires
bullets" and in which his side must either win
or be crushed.

the condition Of the roads, the state of the
weather. and the fact that the forces on lis side
are not yet in hand or order; but very soon all
the forees-cavalry infantry artillery and horse
marines-will be brought into action. He says
he neither expects to support Grant nor Dem
ocratic candidate, but expects to uphold and
vote for a Republican who will defeat Grant
either in the convention or at the polls.
