about equally divided between Sherman's and
Morgan's corps. bt4ens Grant did not at first
approve the turntHg aside of the whole army
from its attack olnVq sburg to capture post
ON the ArkansasIR RiveE,1but the promptness and
completeness of the conquest fully justified the
movement, as Cen Grant readily admitted.
The army went dawn the Arkansas in splendid
spirits, and with the generalization induced
by the affair at Ohdckasaw Bluffs thoroly cured.
Gen. Grant arrived at the rendezvous at the
mouth of the Arkansas on the 18th of Janu-
ary, took commaad Of the army, and ordered
the fleet down the Mississippi to Young's Point
on the Louisiana sides opposite the mouth of
the Yazoo River where all arrived on the 21st
of January. Grants aHmy was here reorgan-.
lied and remained until the Spring opened and
the miry and impassable roads became dry and
solid, when he, with more than Napoleonic
audacity, swung loose from his base and aston
ished the rebels by that mastery campaign
which ended on July 4, 1863 with the capture
of the rebel Gibraltar-Vicksburg. The army
was kept employed in the meantime at Young's
Point, at drilling and completing the famous
canal across the neck of the peninsula opposite
Vicksburg, which had been begun the year be-
fore. If that mueh-ridiculed project was q
failure as means of getting our vessels below
Vicksburg, out of range of the rebel batteries,
it at least furnished healthful employment to
Grants soldiers. Idleness among the troops at
that time would have been attended by great
mortality. w. Fry, Ashland, o.

From a Long Branch Letter.I


She is type. But she is reasonably young,
and there is funnier spectacle than she. That
is the matronly dudine. She exists bere-yery
numerously, too. She waddIes up and down
the hotel piazzas, decked out like an oriental
bride. She bushes like geyser spring aud
endeavors to make up for her absent youth by
the assumption of girlish yivaeity that is as
good as opera-boutfe. See her now as she sits
down to chat with that young man of 81. She
is fat, she is always fat, so fat that even her
princess skirts cover space that a circle with
a diameter of five feet would hardly bound.
Listen to her badinage; see with what ele-
phantine grace she lifts her ponderous fan and
taps her companion playfully on the shoulder
She will amuse herself with him now till the
doors of the dining-room open for lunch, when
she will go in and eat and eat. She viii be the

waiter will make the air of his soul blue with
unspoken cuss-words. At lunch at the same

Queen Yletoria,s Fortune.

From Mr. Idb0rchereS lL0ndon) Truth.
I announced last week that the Queen is
about to make new viii. Her Majesty pos
sesses an immense fortune. The estate of Os-
borne is at least five times as valuable as it was
when it was purchased by the Queen and
Prince Albert about 20 years ago. The Bal
moral property of her Majesty now extends
over 10000 acres. Ciaremont was granted to
the Queen for life in 1866. with reversion to
the country; and her, Majesty purchased the
property outright three years ago for fTS, 600.
Probably its market value is not much under
9150,000, The Queen also possesses some prop
erty at Coburg and the Princess Hohenlohe left
her the Villa Hohenlohe at Baden, one OF the
best residences ia the place. With regard to
personal property, Mr.. Nield left the Queen
over 100000. aud the property left by the
Prince Consort is believed to have amounted
to nearly f600 900; but the provisions of his will
have been kept strict secret, and the document
has never been proved" The Queen must also
have a vast sum o4 of her income, which has
always been very well managed. Since thedeath
ofthe Prince Consortthe general administration
Of the Queens private affairs has been confided
TO Lord Sydney, who is a consummate man of
business.
