The Porato-ItS History.

1t was cultivated by the Indians
before the arrival of the Europeans
in America, but was very small
tuber: 1t was taken to Ireland in
1856, and Spain and Portugal some
years previously. 1t is said to be
well authenticated that Gel Mure, of
Caldwell, in west of Scotland, within
the present century, had some
indurated clay soil, taken from
a coal PIT being sunk on his estate,
forty feet beneath the surface, which
be carefully treated so as to prevent
it's being impregnated by any floating
germs of seed and that from this
piece of clay seven exotic plants
unknown to the local botany came
up, and also one which turned out to
be species of the Stonum tuberosuns
or potato. The produce of that plant
(Which ia four years after its DIS
covery, bore large white potatoes1 is
cultivated extensively in the west
of Scotland,

THE ADVANCE ON RICHMOND.
What General Grant Says In Reply to Messrs
Welles and Taylor.

General Grant has been interview
ed by the Herald in regard to the arti-
Giles in the North american ReUie.o by
General Richard Taylor, and those
in the GALAXY and Atlantic by the
late Gideon Welles, which referred
to his Potomac campaigns He did
not desire to say any thing about Mr..
Welles, for he is dead, but in regard
to Taylor be said that he was a
friend of his who would not do an
intentional error, but that he was a
great talker, and occasionally blend.
ed fact with fiction. In regard to
the statement that he bad an inter>
view with Messrs. Lincoln and STAN
ton, where he insisted on marching
his army on to Richmond by the
James River, he declared be never
said word to anybody as to how he
would advance, and the charge that
be said that by taking another route
would cost 1905 men was pure
fiction.
General Taylor says that the
story comes to him we'll authenticat-
ed. and BIO has no doubt Of his cor
rectneas. There are only three
persons who could authenticate such
story-Mr. Lincoln, Dir. Stanton,
and myself Lincoln and Stanton
are dead, and | say tho whole story
is a fabrication, and whoever vouch-
ed for it to General Taylor vouched
for a fiction. | feel it due to the
memory of these great men, apart
from any sentiment of self-vindicas
ton, 90 make this denial as cmphat.
ic and clear as possible"
GRANTS INTERVIEW WITH LINCOLN
AND STANTON.
This denial of General Grant led
to an interesting resume on his part.
/" remember" be said, very well
my first interview with Stanton.
You know | did not come to Wash-
ington until came in relation to an
order to assume command OF the ar
mics. / had once been there as a
young man, but otherwise it was my
first trip. / fourd Stanton cordial
and willing to do anything, so we
suppressed the rebellion. Nothing
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1878-06-06

could have been more earnest and
hearty than his treatment of me.
Now, says he, General, l do not
want to know your plans. Tell me
what you need to carry them out.
That is all care to know. And
when You go to see Mr.. Lincoln you
will do well to observe the same dis
erection. Mr.. Lincoln may not want
to know any more OF your plans than
/ do, but / can understand how you
might naturally seek the confidence
of the President. Now, Mr. Lincoln
is of q gentle and tender nature, apt
to confide IN many people, and what
you tell him about military move
ments he may tell to the next Sena-
tor with whom he has an intimate
conversation | saw Lincoln. He
was as cordial and hearty as Stanton /;
if possible more so, because he was q
man of more affable and gracious
manners. When Lincoln and / were
alone the President began by repeat
ing story from an article by Orpbe-
US 9. Kerr--a comic article sstiriz-
ing the conduct of the war. 1t was,
as 1 remember, story about Cap
tain Bob Shorty and the Mackerel
Brigade, and the anaconda policy !;
something about Generals in the
field being hampered by a food of
orders. When he had finished, Lin
coin said very much what Stanton
had said-that be did not care to
know what was to do, only to
know what l wanted that l should
have all l required. He wished me
to beat Lee, and how | did it was
my own duty. He said he did not
wish to know my plans or exercise
any scrutiny over my plans so
long as beat the rebel army he was
satisfied. He spoke of plan he had
long thought over, and took down a
| map. He drew an imaginary line
between two of the Virginia creeks
or rivers, the names of which have
escaped me, and said that l might
| move on that line and have the
streams for supplies. l looked at
the plan, and saw in 9 moment that
if I put my army on such line
would be in much the same position
as the army of the James. | would
be powerless l could do no good to
our side and no harm to the other.
| would be locked up. / told Mr.. Lin
| coin | would consider the plan, and
that was the last of it. The route
was an impossible route, and was
never mentioned again by Mr.. Lin
| coin. That is, as far as remember
the exact story of the conference
between Mr.. Lincoln, Mr.. Stanton
and myself when | took command
of the army. The question of my
plans and their wisdom and unwis
dom were never atterward aeubject
of conversation or correspondence
1t there were plumbers in that cam
paign, the plumbers were mine, anC
not those of Lincoln or Stanton
