General Grant.

MT. McGREGoR, N. Y, July a.
Notwithstanding the apprehensions
that Geu. Grant would pass restless
night last night, he rested well and slept
fully seven hours. Col. Fred Grant, as
he entered the hotel TO breakfast at o
o'clock this morning, said: Father
was sleeping when / left the cottage
just now and know he slept well until
after O'Clock, for / was up and at work
at that hour" Ur. Douglas remarked
this morning that when the general
awoke last night to take his food or
have his throat dressed that he did so
with a clear mind. There seemed TO be
no drowsiness In his waking intervals
and he slept again rapidly. The night
was a good one despite the mental work
yesterday. The day is a bright one
though it continues chilly, as during
the past four days of wet weather.

MT. McGREdoR, N Y, July g.
General Grant required little attention
of the doctor last night. During twelve
hours from 0 o'clock last night until 0
o'clock this morning the patient slept
fully eight hours. He aroused shortly
before o'clock this morning and an
nounced his intention of being dressed.
AT once this was done, and before
O'Clock the General was ready to go out
upon the piZza. which he did. He stroll.
ed the length of the cottage on the yer.
aida and then sat IN his chair enjoying
the bright, fresh air. The Generals
movements are f1rmer this morning, and
his strength seems greater than at the
beginning of the week, and there are to.
day, those in the family, who have firm
belief that the General may live till au'
tumn. Those near To the patient to day
are feeling not little encouraged.

hogs, 5000 having been prepared for

Cincinnati, which formerly did a large

begged the officers TO put him out of his
