We quote the following eloquent extract
from the recent speech Of Charles Francis
Adams, Jr., in Quincy.
president Grant was ny old general, and
as such felt toward him, not as you feel, but
as those only feel who have passed through
long days and nights of battle agony, looking
10 one man in firm reliance that he earned
with him ultimate victory, and, in the end
have found that faith justified. l had passed
through that awful ordeal in close attendance
upon General Grant, and the strong feel
ing OF faith with which he then ins pred me
long survived his transfer to civil life. and
was more than once Il matter of ridicule to
those who could not understand II loyalty
which had found itself justified amid the roar
OF the cannon. And let me further say that
/, in common with vast multitude of others,
have had my admiration and sympathy deeply
excited by the grand silence with which the
Presiden has undergone the vile torren' of
contradictory calumny which has so persistent
ly been poured forth against him. Gen. Grant
cannot at once be both the wretched imbecle
and the cunning usurper he is so commonly
described by the same lips, and | can assure
those now SO indscretely assailing him, that
they are guilty of grave error Of judgment
if they fondly believe that the men who stood
10y him while lead was in the air, will be
driven from his side by the hurlng OF hard
words

This expectation of brisk autumn's work
is based upon cautious inquiries and in

lied. The activity will, of course, not be
confined to New York, but it will be felt
in Boston and the other Eastern cities rs
well. 1t is now generally conceded that
Grants reelection is sure and that the
channels of trade will not be disturbed.

invovle too heavy burthen on our people,
But we should be glad to see them all COM
menced, SO that assurance would be given to
the people of the different sections that justice
would be ultimately done to all.
What we would propose now is, that the
City of Stanton should McAdamize all those
thoroughfares to the limits of the corporation,
and that the County should then improve, say
three miles per annum, on each of them, COM
mencing at the corporation line and extending
towards the limits of the County. By adopt
ing measure like this, we would in five years,
without oppressive burthen to our people, have
Including the Parkersburg road and the Valley
turnpike, which are already improved) eight
leading thoroughfares, radiating from Staunton
to all parts of the County.
Of the convenience of these roads, and OF
their effect on the value of lands throughout
the County, we do nor feel it necessary to
speak. The effects of the road from Staunton
to Harrisonburg, presents practical demon
stration Of both of these propositions. Let
any one who doubts, enquire of the people
along the line of that road, and we are greatly
mistaken if they will not testify that the cost
of constructing the road has been repaid twice
or thrice by the enhancement of the value OF
lands lying within mile on either side of it.
We may revert to this subject hereafter, il
we find suitable response from our readers
In the meantime, we invite full and free ex-
preston of public opinion on the subject.

The Alabama Claims

On Thursday last, Sir Edward Thornton, the
British Minister, presented to Mr.. Fisk, Secre-
tary of State, the note written by Earl Granville
to Gen. Schenck, American Minister at the
Court of st. James, in reference to the claims
submitted to the Geneva tribunal. The point
of the note is virtually what was expressed by
the Queen in her speech from the throne. This
is clothed with profuse assurances of the friend
ship entertained by the English for America,
the regret felt at the existence fany misunder-
standing and the expression of an earnest wish
that some means may be found to reconcile the
difficulty and enable the two countries to pro-
coed with the arbitration. This note is ac-
companied with the most voluminous extracts
from the English and Continental newspapers,
commenting upon the treaty. carefully collated
and arranged by General Schenck, and making
several hundred pages The Secretary, after
studying the note and the accompanying docu-
ments, and transacting the routine business Of
the department, closeted himself and prepared
draft of the note to be sent in reply.
