A Race With the FInmes.

The Yankton Press tells of a lively
race wich General Crook and l.. A.
Carney had with the recent prairie
fire Travelling upon an unburned
strip, they came close to the line of the
fire, which extended miles northwest
and southwest, and was edging slowly
northeastward. When they were
within twenty rods Of this line the
the wind suddenly increased and
shifted some twenty degrees toward
the east and from the west, sweeping
he flames directly upon them. What
was FIVE minutes before harmless
FIRE, to be crossed with ordinary care,
was now a mass of continuous flame,
often ten or fifteen feet high, and
sometimes twenty feet across. 1t
reared like half q dozen passenger
trains at full speed. They sprang from
the wagon and fired the grass, but it
made very slow progress, and had not
burned ten feet square when whirl-
wind came down the line with high
gale, There only chance was flight,
and they aprang into the wagon and
whipped up their Texas horses for a
race northward to some higher stony
ground. The ponies understood that
game and went readily. 1t was all
done in less than the telling. The
very cause Of danger was at last the
means Of safety, The whirlwind,
which was twenty rods wide, passed
by. 1t had changed all the adjacent
currents of wind. This had deadened
the wind ahead and prevented the fire
from spreading, and now that it had
passed, it gave chance to cross in its
rear upon the ground where the grass
was thin, and within ten minutes oi
the first apprehension Of danger thoy
were among the smoking cinders on
burned ground. phe whirlwind went
over the bluff and down the river bot
tom, filing it with fire in places above
the level Of tbo bluffs, and sending uI
a column Of black smoke which mus
have been over half mile In length,

his mind whether to accept the nomination.
But 1t is not o threat that will frighten the
GRANTEES, nor Is it conveyed in language
caiculatad to damage General GRANTS rep
utation half as much as IT win that
of the Herald with its numerous
Army and Navy readers. 1t is exactly
this kind of aippant slander that helps
to make General GRANT prominent just
now as candidate. Perhaps If Nc
CLELLAS, BURNSIDE, HOOKER, or MEADE
had "butehered" to tho same eff
feet that GRANT did, the war
would have ended sooner II is one
thing to create (?) an army and another
thing to fight it successfully, as MEADE did
the Army Of the Potomac at Gettysburg,
and as GRANT did all the armies, East and
West, under his command. Right here it
may not be impertinent TO remark that
MEADE, after his great victory at Gettys-
burg, was as slow of movement in pursuing
the enemy as MCCLELLAN had been at An
tietam. The result was the enemy had
sufficient opportunity to recuperate and re-
organize. II was not until GRANT began to
follow up his blows with stronger ones, and
his flank movements from the Rappahan-
mock to the James with other flank move
ments, and with battle hot followed by bat
tie, that the Union forces began to reap the
benefit of victory. or the two, MEADE was
a better commander than MCCLELLAN; but
there was nothing aggressive about either
Of them. MEADE simply defended his lines
at Gettysburg against LEES assault, and
SICKLE unauthorized charge was
the only offensive movement on our
side during that battle. MCCLELLAN,
as all the world knows, always resembled
the stalwart prize-fghter, manoeuvering
and parrying to get one blow in upon his
antagonist, and then retiring to his corner
to be groomed, instead Of following up his
advantage. But GRANT was butcher +"
because he made war, and made II success
fully, as SHERMAN did, and because he took
advantage of his advantages, so to speak.
In the end, this kind of butchery proved
not only to be economy in blood and money,
but it saved the Union.
