What Grant Fought About.

In November, 1861, just after the
battle of Belmont, when Il COnfeder-
ate steamer, the Ingemar. with one
hundred and twenty-One wounded
United States soldiers on board,
was boarded by General Grant, just
below Cairo. that the cartel tor ex-
change of prisoners might be signed,
lie said the west had gone to war
against the south simply because it
was not designed that the MISSISSIPPI
pi should be da mmed up at Cairo,
or Memphis, or at Vick>burg. In
the course of the jocuIar conversa
ton that ensued. Grant said he was
on his way to New Orleans, and
that when the Mississippi. the joint
property of all States, was restored
to its proper common ownership, he
was done with the bloody business.
AS Grant rose upwards in authOri-
ty, his views, it seems, were expand
ed, and he has finally grasred the
full Radical apprehension of the
purposes of hOstiIifies as waged by
the north against the south. In any
event, in Grants eyes. the freedom
of the Mississippi was worth war
between the States. He was not
singular ia this view of the purpose
of the late conflict. The west will
lingly gave thousands of its best
sOns, and countless millions of
wealth, to secure an unobstructed
water way to the sea. No sooner
was its object attained than the
prize for which it struggled lost val
lue, and railways have been substi-
tuted for the cheapest means of car
rying freight yet discovered. 1t
seems, strangely enough, that west
ern men fought for a commercial
right, and, having won. abandon it
in behalf Of an abstract idea. The
political end sought is conceded,
aud the resulting practical good
abandoned. Eastern cities appease
the west 10y a shallow sham invOlv-
ed in trihing annual expenditures
at the BaliZe, designed to perpesu
ate The impOssibilIty OF cheap access
to New Orleans from the gulf. 1t is
well enough to compel the improve
ment by Congress of the Ohio, Ten
nesSee, anil other tributaries of the
Mississippi, each, singularIy enoue h
running down stream. and, without
exterior force, depOsIting at the
wharves of New Orleans the wealth
of an empire. The primary good to
be attained is to make New Orleans
as cheaply accessible from the sea
as from the source of the meanest
of thousand rivers that give vol,
u,ne and majesty to the father OF
floods. Let the Great Eastern cast
anchor at the foot of Canal street,
and every river of this great valley
becomes instantly navigable.-

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE -

]
Quite an excitement was created in
our city on Wednesday last, by a
| matrimonial affair which came of
about the hour of 2 O'Clock, P. NJ, at
the office Of S. w. Wood, j. P. That
functionary joined together, in the
holy bands of wedIock. Charles
Dancy, (col'd), to Laura Anderson,
livery cOl'dD. Although there were
''no cards." there was quite a large
crowd present to witness the cere
mony, and the affair created great
merriment. After the nuptials the
happy Charlie took his "bonnie
BRIDE on his arm and "went on his
way rejoicing" down Peace street,
receiving the cheers of the assem-
bled crowd.
We must not fail to say that the
CITIZEN was not forgotten on the
interesting occasion. A bottle OF
lager beer, a cracker, and small
slice of Bologna sausage constituted
the "printer's fee' in this case; for
which we think we are indebted to
that innocent young man, John
of BankSaloon. "Small
favors thankfully received, and
lager ones in proportion"
