The grass burned rapidly and at one time there
was great danger of its reaching the barn, but
some hands, who were blowing near, quickly
ran furrow around the barn and thus saved it
from destruction.

General Lees Opinion Of Grant.

The Cincinnati Commercial publishes
q letter from an Ohio regiment, which
describes an interview with General Lee
in Richmond, in 1866. In speaking OF
General Grant, General Lee ascribed to
him the possession Of the noblest attn.
butss OF American manhood. and that
he possessed all the requisites OF and
talents for the organization OF armies.
At the present hour. says the writer,
when not q few apprehensive gentlemen
and reckless partisans are charging the
illustrious ex.President with Cnsarism,
and with desperate ambitions 70 over
throw the Government, 1t will DO some
satisfaction to his many friends to recall
the high estimate in which be wal held
by the Southern chisftaiu. In the gen.
erous terms accorded to the impovsr.
ished South. Grant won for himself i'm.
perishabls renovn, and they furnish q
shining example Of how btavsly he
could light his oountry's battles. and
how nobly he could treat the van.
pushed. In NO quarter OF the world
has there been such magnanimity a.
that displayed BY General Grant, and Of
all the lsurels won by the mighty Cap

and freshest OF them all Is bis splendid
conduct to Lee and his soldiers. ~

say that his treatment Of the army Of
Southern Virginia is without parallel
10 the history Of the civilized world.
When my poor soldiers. with famishsd
faces, had neither food OF raimsnt, II
Was then that General Grant issued the
humane order that 40. 900 rations should
b. furnished to the impoverished troops.
And this 10 not all OF his ~msgnsnimity.
I was giving directions to one OF my
staff officers, when making out the list
OF things to be surrendered, to include
the horses. At that moment, General
Grant, who seemed to be paying no at
tsntion to what was transpiripg, quickly
said: "No, NO, General Lee. not .
horse-not one-keep them all! Your
people will need them for the Spring
crops!" It was o scene never to be Tor.
TO watch Lees manner, when,
with q spirit Of obivalry equal to his
sallautry. hs told, with moistsnsd eyes,
this and many other instances OF the
magnanimity SO nobly displayed BY his
illustrious rival.
"In the course OF the conversation,
hs spoke OF Sheridan as Q brilliant and
magnetic commander. Iasked him who
was the greatest Of the Federal generals.
Indeed. sir, I have nj hesitation IN
General Grant. Both as q gen.
and organizer Of victorious war.
General Grant hath eIoelled all your
