The Soldier at Mt. MoGregor Makes
a Good Fight. but is Los
ing Ground.

Mr.. MoGREGoR, July 4.-Dr.
Douglas thought this morning that
Gen. Grant had slept fully nine hours
between s o'clock when he retired,
up to s o'clock this morning, when
he aroused for the day. Through the
early morning hours the physicians
had not been called upon, and it was
not until after the patient had taken
food, about 6 o'clock, that DR.. Doug
las was called upon to clear his throat.
After that Gen. Grant dozed until
soon after 8 o'clock, when he was
dressed and strolled out upon the
piazza. Through the night there had
been less of mucous secretion than
the doctor anticipated. Last evening
the pain was slight and this morning
the General is feeling pretty well
though rather weak.
