silver the Su biect.

ness prospects of the country as affect
ed by the alleged depreciation of silver.
There were present Secretary McCulloch,
Treasurer Wyman. Assistant Treasurer
Acton. New York; Messrs. William Dowd.
George T. Cole and Vermilyea, bankers of
New York. The secretary said, in refer
ring to the conference. that the vie~s of
all were in harmony on the general cues
ton that the state of the national finances
does not call for any change in the present
policy of the administration. There is no
cause, he said, to apprehend any interrup-
ton in the material business prosperity of
the country, nor anything to justify de
probation in value of silver certificates.

Immense Loss in Killed and W DUNDEE

LONDON, January 2S.-During the adj
vance of the main body of English troops
from the fareeba, the garrison left behind at
that point kept up heavy fire from their
guns and rifles. An effort was made to
erect a small redoubt some fifty yards to
the right of the fareeba under protection
OF a steady fire from the iaroeba. During
erection of the redoubt Lord Cochran with
40 men from the Life Guards and Scots
Greys, held the redoubt and maintained
a heavy fire. Throughout the battle they
did much to repel the constant charges of
the enemy. The losses of the rebels dur
ing the whole day is estimated at 1000.
The English loss was small

Desperate Fighting for Water.

LONDON, January 2s.-In the fight on
the 10Th instant which occurred within ,
miles of the Nile, many British troops
were in an almost fainting condition from
lack of water Col. Wilson ordered small
detachment of cavalrymen to obtain sup
ply of water from the river by cutting
their way through the enemy's force. This
dangerous movement was accompanied
with less loss of life than might have been
expected and enough water was obtained
to revive the troops and enable them to
continue the attacks.

TO lead to victory her loyal hostl
In all her proud array she cannot boast
A proudcr name than thine, thou favorlte sonl
All, we remember now that gloomy past
That era pregnant with the Nations fate
When the distracted and impcriled State
On him her trembling hope con1ding cast.
How n0bly he the mighty burden bore,
unmoycd by wrong or clamorous disconlcnt;
Inncxblc in his great purpose, on he went
10 win matchlcss fame for eyormore
Even his paticnce-how sublime! revealed
His greatness. Silent and sure, on and on
He went from the stormcd walls of onclson
Till Appomattox nl his glory sealed.
How modcstly he heard the worlds applause,
The plaudits of his Nation saved and free,
(That bears the hope orall humanity0
For this he fought-'twas freedoms sacrcd cause
His sword was drawn by duty's stern command
Not for unhOly conquest, sclfrcnown
Not fO"u conqucrnrs stained, inglOriolls crown
But for the veal aud glory Of his land!
Thy place was Justly won the great among,
lllustrious Grant, We this offering
A tribute to our greatest cOmrndc bring
Albeit his praise 10y all the world Is sunA
Thy course was glorou, aud thy houored name

Preserved among the great and good with deed

Editor NATIONAL REruBlIcAN:

EdltOr NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,:
In the tour of General Grant and his
noble lady around the world, public
letters and history point to many Incl
dents in their travels worthy of note at
this time.
When in Japan, they were courtcously
entertained by the officials Of that
country. There was much excitement
at that time about the possession of the
Island Of Corca, and General Grant, il was
stated, by his pacific counsel brought about
II settlement of the question between that
country and China.
When the tourists were about to de
part, the American Minister gave Gen
eral Grant and lady an entertainment,
inviting all the officers Of the Navy then
in port the nOtabcs of the country, and
manycitizcns. Duringthe entertainment,
Mrs. Grant made Il request, which was
granted, that the next evening should be
the "Midshipmen's Eve" SO that the
following evening, brought ON invitation
from all the ships in port the midship-
men and warranted officers, with the COM
pany rs before, The best music from the
ships cnlivened the occasion. Mrs Grant
was the great center of attraction for the
evening, and received much praise for the
intcrcstmunifcstcd in these youngoiliccrS,
as it was said to be the first entertain
ment ever given the midshipmcn ON
shore in foreign port, The entertain
ment was an enjoyable one, More than
two thousand attended Mrs, Gnntslevee,
and ii will long be remembered.
On the following day the General and
his great t-hearted lady steamed away, uc-
companied by the great mogul in his
yacht, and when far out in the ocean, the
yards were manned and parting salute
exchanged. l.. ID. 4.

his military life for the guidance of his
tory.
With religious composure, with a full
knowledge that his end was near, he laid
down his pencil and paper, by which he
had inscribed many tender messages to
family and friends, TO welcome the good
angels who would bear his immortal spirit
home; leaving his mortal remains in the
hands of his fellow-countrymen, whom
he had so faithfully served, honored, and
dearly loved.
Humanity to-day uncovers its head

the grand triumvirate gone before -

and memory the pillars of human liberty.

would have detached two regiments to
operate against gucrrillas and two more
to prevent struggling and keeptrains well
closed up, and thereby suffered, perhaps,
disastrous defeat. General Sheridan did
not, however let the gucrrillas altogether
escape richly morited punishment. After
the regular enemy in front had been van

llanks could be utilized no longer, he

A rRrnurE FROM MEXICO.
REMARKS OF NJ. q. PORTUGAL AT THE GRANT
MEMORIAL MEETING OF MEXICAN EDI-
TORS IN WASHINGTON.


Each day the living are governed more
'dnd1nore blythe dad. f
Permit me on this solemn occasion 10
say few words that shall be as a humble
floral tribute placed on the tomb Of that
great man whose remains the earth will
guard in her loving bosom, but whose
high and sublime acts shall serve as Il
model forall humanity, and especially for
the nation in which was developed his
fruitful activity.
TO destroy and annihilatc forever pre-
judcc in the human mind, to substitute
for the heavy and degrading yoke of race
prcpondemncc the golden band of uni
vcrSal brotherhood, is Il work worthy of
the age in which We live, and he or those
who in the face Of such tremendous diff
cultics, successfully carried to an end such
Il work, merit our eternal gratitude and
most sincere and spontaneous Ovations.
Heavy is the trial for II people when
they have to undergo the pangS of intcs-
tine commotion, for the implanting of
reform, the changing of law or
taking forward step in progress. All
human history is there 10 show the truth
of what say, and knowledge in her
golden book guards rcligiouSly the names
of ALL from Promcthcus, dcvourcd by the
vulturcS of thcocracy, To that Of Grant,
extolled by an entire people, for whose
Improvement and progress hccontributcd
50 practically and effectively.
We arluuusly look for and assiduously
investigate the reason of the development
of this American people, and we ask our
selves: Is il the race, that powerful race
that dominated the polar seas with Will
Jam the ConQucror, that sounded the
ocean depths of the conscience with tragic
Shakespeare, that weighed the world with
Newton, that classified knowledge with
Bacon, and that sung the Splcndors of
nature and liberty with Byron? Is it
education, that education that modclsan
modiics and uniforms this people until
all its cities have an aspect of fraternity,
making us comprehend that in every
home like thoughts and feelings rule, and
that all form but one heart, beating ryth-
mically and harmonically to the benef-
cent impulses liberty? Isit from cOsmic
causes or social? Let it be partly this or
all of it, but there is no doubt that one Of
the most powerful levers that raise the
American people is the essentially practi-
cal and humane spirit of all its great men,
who having effected Il victory, wish not
that it may be only for one people, but
for all nations and for all time.
Gentlemen Of the Washington press,
your nation has lost man to whom, for
his great and positive love for mankind,
might be applied these words of the
Sublime Being: "AmeHte plus guam me!
mec me mise prOpter te," Let them love
thee more than me, and let them not love
me only for thee,

Macon'S Oil Well.
Bob SHORT.

The Macon News gives the fol-
lowing explanation of the oil well
discovered in Macon:
"Some time ago Messrs. Turpin
& Co. bought a car load Of oil, and
placed it on a platform about sly
feet from this well. Some of the
barrels bursted, and about ten
barrels ran out upon the ground
and into the well. The well had
not been used, and this was never
before discovered. Simply this
and nothing more. The well con-
tains some twenty barrels of the
substance which burns very we'll. "
