Grants BIOyaatiOn.

Bloyia,ion is not, we believe, character
istic OF General Grant. IL he entertalns
peculiarly high opinion Of his own ability
and proves rs a soldier, he has had the
good taste thus far to keep it to himself, OF
at least not to make an ostentatiouS dis.
play Of it. An exception to the rule OF his
conduct is found in his remarks dprop6S OF
the siege Of Vicksburg and the approach OF
General Joe Johnston to the relief OF Penn
berton, published in Yesterdays GLOBE.
Said Grant:
II had known Johnston was coming
would have told Pemberton to wait in
VickSburg until l wanted him, awaited
Johnston's advance, and given him battle.
He could never have beaten that VlcksburS
army, and thus would have destroyed two
armies, perhaps. Pemberton's was already
gone, and was quite sure OF Johnstons.
I was sorry did not know Johnston was
coming until it was too late.
These remarks are an exhibition OF van
ity that i'll becomes a successful general,
and are, besides, untruthful. The facts are
that not only Grant, but every private SOL
der in the army Of investment, knew that
Joe Johnston was coming to the relief OF
the beleaguered garrison, and were eX-
tremcly solicitous lest he should arrive in
season TO AFFORD relief. 1t is matter OF his
tory that with this knowledge the greatest
exertions were put forth to compel captu-
lation before Johnston arrived. Had the
army OF relief come to hand it is not i'm
probable that the campaign in the South
west would have had an entirely differ
ent result, and that Grants subsequent his
tory would not have been what it is. 1t is
in exceeding bad taste that be should at
this late day attempt to magnify his own
proves by an exhibition Of boastfulness
such rs this. He has honestly won laurels
enough to satisfy the ambition OF any man :;
it is unnecessary that he should boast OF
what he could have done or would have
done in certain contingencies--to declare
that the brave army at Vicksburg could
have successfully fought force double its
own. II is OF piece with the ante-beilum
boust that one northern man could whip 4
dozen southeners, and, in view of the
wholly creditabe record OF both armies, IT
is unSecmly that the victor should indulge
in such Senseless bloviation. ltwould have
been better il these words had remained
unsaid, for, besides being calculated to
lower Grant in the estimation OF those who
view his military record with pride, they
are at variance with the truth, and Will bt
apt to provoke resentment which can bt
productive only OF harm and il-feeling.-

life, he deserted his commanded Fort Reno
about six months ago. He purchased q
horse and equipments and made his way
through to Caddo, where he sold his

until lie arrived at st. Louis, where
ne had q rich uncle, from whom he
borrowed Sl50r-and proceeding to New
York, sailed for his native land,
Germany, where his mother was still liv-
ing. The old lady was rich, and tried to
keep him from returning to the United
States, but he would not heed her advice,
when she gave him large sum OF money,
and he again recrossed the briny deep, To-
eating for n time at Chicago, where he mar
ried young lady OF wealth and refinement.
But he was not satisfied, and left her, going
to Cincinnati. There he was recognized
by an old army comrade, and was ''given
away to the police, who arrested him and
sent him to Jefferson barracks. He was
forwarded from there under guard OF a SER
geant and four men, WHO had instructions
to take him back to his command at Fort
Reno, to be tried upon the serious charge OF
desertion. They arrived here Friday night
and took the d., K. and T. train South.

letters from him until he arrived in Omaha,
when they suddenly ceased. The days
wore into weeks, the weeks into years, but
still no word from the absent one to the eX.
pectant girl, who waited and watched all
IN vain. His friends gave him up Tor dead !;
but she, with woman's persistency, re.
fused to think so, and declared ner Deliet
that he would some time return 70 claim
his bride. SIitors came and went, her eyes
became dim from weeping, the roses faded
from her cheeks, and, gradually withdraw
ing from the scenes she had graced with
her presence, her very existence was almost
forgotten by society.
Two weeks since, while sitting alone IN
her quiet parlor, the bell rang, and IN mo-

Indians, and he was taken prisoner and
carried away far into the interior. Every
effort to escape was futile, and he was

chance, he managed to deceive his 1aiiers,
and, after incredible hardships, reacheo
