Of the thousands of messag es of con-
dolence and sympathy sent to General
Grant the past month from men of all
classes, creeds and parties, in all Sec
lions of the country, few, we believe,
have more touched our dying old hero
than the resolution offered by William
Preston Johnston-the brilliant and
worthy son Of Gen. Albert Sidney
Johnston, whose attack on Gen. Grants
forces on the 9Th of April, 1862, was
one of the greatest displays of skill and
valor made during the whole war-at
the reunion of the Louisiana division of
the COME derate "Army of tho Tennes-
;see." Col. Johnston's resolution is as
follows: That the Association of the
Army of the Tennessee hear with deep
regret Of the pain and peril now en-
-dured by Gen. U. S. Grant. Twenty
three years ago our soldiers met him on
the field of battle and foun 4 him then,
as ever, soldier without fear and ma
Lightly. In his own suffering and the
sorrow of his family we tender him and
them our heartfelt sympathy and ask
for them the comfort and peace which
come from Him who is not only Lord
of Hosts but Father of us all.

Express Car Robbery In Indiana.

oAQI09B V8T 6OU0eIy IN x001609s
The Louisville express, on the Louisville,
Kew Albany & Chicago railway, wse
nabbed near Harrodsburg, Ind, short
ly before midnight Shortly before
the train should have reached Bloom
ington, man having the appearance of a
tramp entered the express car armed with q
heavy hickory stick. In this car were George
X. Davis, the express messenger and Peter
Webber, baggageman. Weber says that he
and Davis were asleep when the robber en-
tered. Weber was awakened by a violent
blow on the head The robber then struck
Davis evidently while he was asleep. Davis
managed to loosen his right hand and draw
his revolver, but before he could fire the man
wrenched the weapon from his grasp, and
leveling it, pulled the trigger The
ball struck the messenger in the head and he
fell dying to the floor. The robber then made
the baggageman open the safe and take out
the money. Then the tramp pulled the bell
cord and stopped the train, but first fired al
Weber, the bullet striking him in the fore
head. Weber succeeded in reaching the
smoking car, and gave the ALARM but the soli-
tary train robber had disappeared in the dark
ness. The alarm was not given until the
train reached Bloomington, when the search
commenced The amount stolen is not known
but exceeded ST, 300 Davis and Weber are
both alive, but the former cannot recover
passenger on the sleeping car, looking out of
the window, saw the robber emerge apparently
from the trucks. This was at Smithville, two
miles from Harrodsburg, where the train
stopped for water, thus enabling the robber to
enter the baggage car.

A gentleman DOW IN 'Washagton;yw was
formerly an officer Of the United Statessnayy,
and subsequently served in 1.-The Confederate
navy, expresses the belief that should. wer oc-
cur between Russia and England it will be a
great naval conflict. ssJust noN. says this Of
fcer, Russia is searching the high seaspver
for a port That is the first necessity And
England is actively engaged in frustrating her
designs That is the reason ofthe activity at
Nassau, Bermuda, and the Canary Islands
The Russian corVettes are searching in every
direction, but you will notice that an English
man o-war is in the track of almost every Res
sian vessel afoat IL the South had been able
to secure place for it's captured gunboats
there would not have been federal flagship
on the high seas. If we could have towed
them in British ports and got sprlze money
the naval feature of our strife would have
been memorable one. Russia is exactly in the
situation we occupied She has notan Atlantic
port, and as long as England is active she
never will have one On the other hand, Eng
land can draw men and means from ahe whole
world, and is to day mistress 0fthe sea. Dur
ing our war the north drew recruits from all
quarters of the earth We hadnone because
we had no ports. There is scarcely g spot on
the European map that will not be touched
by England's recruiting service. Butyou will
notice all the ships sailing the Atlantic are
carrying hundreds of Russians, who are flee
ing conscriprs England's delay signifies that
she is indu1ging in her old tricks Of blscking
Russia's game on the high seas, and when war
is declared it will break out in hundred places
at once Therefore, with the British :srmy
massing in India, and the British navy secur-
loss of Herat signify? Gladstone knows his
business, and rest assured he is not negleoting
it in the slightest particular Which will whip?

the Russian army on a war footing is,
in round numbers 1,100,0 men, Of
whom 45,500 are reckoned as non COM

vice, number $4,000, and there still
remain 142,0O Cossacks, besides depot

The Russian War ship in New York.

The Russian man of war Strelok which lef
Norfolk, is at New York A special says, tho
arrival of the Strelok in the North river has
caused a great deal of speculation as to ita
object. A prominent shipping man said: ''N
is more than probable that the Strelok has re-
ceived secret orders; that war has or will be
declared within few hours, and has been or
dered to pick up a transatlantic steamer II
is certain that the enterprise is by no means
so difficult as it looks, and that any of the
great ferry steamers between New York and
Liverpool is liable to be surprised. The
strelok is not large vessel, being only 1885
register, and mounting ten guns, tour Of which
are heavy rifled pieces Her crew numbers
100 men. She has a great spread Of canvas,
with double top sail, and might by devices
known to seamen, mask her warllke character
and pass for an innocent merchantmen. A re-
versed ensign, the signal of distress,
would enable her to approach Gu
harder, Guyon or National liner, or
any of the splendid vessels that enter and
leave this port almost daily" It is said that if
war is declared during the next twenty -four
hours the different lines may unite, hire the
Yosemite or some other fast steamer and send
her out to warn vessels.

Russian Preparations.
A New Yafk paper prints interviewslon the
Russian preparations for war, with several
people who.have just arrived from St Peters
burg. Capt Charles S Hartweu, q. s. T., who
spent his youth in Russia and has just rst1rned
from long visit there, said:
When left St Petersburg month ago,
three of my relatives were ordered tic pre-
pare for active service and to join stheir
regiments OF the banks of the Vol
ga, near Moscow. For some time the
authorities of that city have been retaining
all the heavy scows which have been sent up
the Volga to Moscow with grain, and nowAboth
shores of the river are lined with them These
vessels are very heavily built, and with proper
sheds would make excellent transports They
are capable of accommodating fifty men, and
as there are now nearly 5000 Of them stthe
imperial guard sean be understood have
seen it mentioned in late dispatches that the
imperial guard has been ordered sto
the north This, I am confident,
is untrue If Sir Peter Lumsden shoEld
send scouts as far aaorth as Merry, imagine
if allowed to return. All army correspondence
is subject to government supervision, and naS
q 1.-THE of the military movements is publsheG
IN the Russian newspapers. 1t Is generally un-
derstood in the army barracks at St. Peters
burg that the car has.decided upon war, and
that he is only waiting 10 make a formal dec
taration until his foaees have invested Herat
The Russian troops are in splendid state of
discipline. Preparatons;h have been making for
thss movement, to my ,ewn knowledge, for
three years. The occupation of Merry was
the first great stride toward the Arabian sea,
although England willful!y. shut her eyes to it
think that you will find that this last fight
with she Afghans will be used by the Russians
as plea for more delay, or else {qstitiable
seizing it. There are no indications of peace
in this natter. Hostilities have begun. The
war party in Russia would net allow the car
to Withdraw his forces, even though he wished
to do SO. Within fortnightyou will hear Of
the Investment of the key to India.

General Grant Writing Again.

Gen. Grants condition continues to improve
He resumed his work recently. Col. Fred
Grant said: t'The general dictated to the
stenographer for nearly an hour enough mat
ter to make twenty-five or twenty three pages
mattox campaign, and from his dispatches
and other data is enabled to give perfectly
straight and lucid account to the stenegrapher.
He is without doubt looking and feeling better
than at any time since Dec. 1. We are now
almost certain of his complete restoration to
health He will remain here until July l, when
he will go to Mt. McGregor near Saratoga" In
reply to question recently, Dr. Douglass said
he could not affirm that there was an improve
ment in the cancer The cancerous lump was
not an open sore. The darting pains that have
their seat in the generous lump on the tongue
still continued, but were not so frequent nor
so severe as they had been.

Gov. Curtin Thinks War Inevitable.

Ex-Gov. Curtin, who was at one time minis
ter to Russia, expressed the opinion that war
between that country and England is newt
able, because it is necessary for the perpetual
such war upon American interests, Gov Cur
tin believes that it.would be beneficial
eff the war should continue for
some time," said he, sand there is every
reason to believe it will be pro-
longed one, it will create a demand
for many Of our products. Of course, after
war shall have been declared we can't sell arms
and munitions legitimately, but it will be done,
clandestinely, no doubt to very great extent;
but we can sell the raw materials which go to
make up the material of war, and that will in
crease trade Then, IN the event of protract-
ed war, our breadstuffs and kindred products
will be in demand. 1t will be a war which will
shake all of Europe.

The formidable, which has just. been
Launched in France, and which il
classed as the most powerful ship in the
French navy, is steel vessel of II AL
tons, with an estimated horse power of
$500 and speed of fifteen knots.
She draws twenty five and three quar-
tiers feet Of water, and carries armor
ranging in thickness from seventeen
and three-quarters to twenty-one and
one half inches. Her armament consists
of three seventy-fve ton and twenty
light guns. The only completed ship
in the British navy which is her equal
in size, power or armament is the In.
flexible, which is of iron and which
has not exhibited the speed which the
Formidable is expected to attain. In
view of the great attention which
France has for some years paid to the
work Of con strueting powerful navy
there is ground for the agitation nov
going on in England without tax
ing into account the threatened war
with Russia, for the improvement OF
the British navy. Tits remarkable that
the four most powerful ships in the
world although none of them has been
subjected to the tests which the power
full British and French ships have, and
two of them are not eompleted-belone
to Italy, which is otherwise an inferior
naval power. These four vessels are
the Diulio Dandolo, Italia and Lepanto.
Each has four 100-ton guns. The two
former are armored to the depth Of
twenty-five inches each; the two latter
TO that Of thirty six inches. The dis,
placement Of the Italia and Lepanto is
900 tons each, or from 1000 or 2, SOC
tons moro than the Formidable or In.
flexible.
