GRANT AND MCCLELLAN.
Gen. Grants High Estimate OF M'Clel-
Ian's Capacity as an Ofhcer.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE recent
statement that Gen. Grant fully appre-
ciated the military ability Of Gen. Nc
CleIlan, and would have been glad If he
could have>had his services after ne was
made Lieutenant General in 1864, has
caused the records Of the War Depart
ment to be thoroughly searched FOR docu-
mentary evidence on that point. Nothing
can be found in the archives supporting
the statement, but the information was
originally derived from an officer holding
the most confidential relations with sec
retary Stanton. And the officer, VINO was
on Gen. Halleck's stan at the time, says
that the General never men,
toned the matter TO him IN
anv form. andwhile it was true that
there was nothing in writing on the
subject, that did not disproye the
statement for he remembered that Gen.
Grant was here for several days in april,
1864. and his requests might have been
verbal There was also an all night con-
ference between Secretary Stanton, Gen.
Grant and Gen. Halleck, the object OF
which is also without q record. the Ofii-
Ger whose room they occupied found his
cigar box empty when he came on duty;
but during the day he received full box
Of equally as good Hayanas IN return Tor
his half box. with an apology from Gen.
Halleck, telling why they We're consumed.
That is all that is known Of that ali night
council Of war.
One member Of Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet,
it is known. kept a diary Of everything
done at Cabinet meetings, and that among
other entries in 1862 is one 70 the effect:
AT the Cabinet meeting to-day Mr.. Lin
coin said that he had decided to appoint
Gen. Mcclellan to the command Of the
army in Virgnia. This is done against
the protest OF every member OF tue Cab
met"
An army officer familiar with the official
spondence Of Gen. Grant during the
war, who has read every letter in posses
sion Of the government, says: II have
never seen a line in any of Gen. Grants
letters that he would now have the 81 yht-
est reason to regret. Considering the
vast number Of pages written bY him on
the most important matters, involving
men most prominent in the army, that is
perhaps the greatest compliment that
could be paid 10 his just estimate Of the
Generals Of the army"

MYSTERIOUS MOUNDS.
A Strange Formation Found in Missis
sippi and Their Contents.


sippi and Their Contents.
FREDoNIA, Miss, April 14.-In Union
county. near this place, and miles
southwest of New Albany, the county
seat, is situated a group Of Is mounds, of
various heights and circumference. The
largest is ~ feet high, 100 around and
$50 feet across the top. Many theories
have been advanced as to their formation.
1t is said the Indians acknowledge their
existence as far back as their traditions
extend, but how far that was
no one could tell. Mr..
Charles NJ. Smith, Assistant Ethnol-
ogist for the government, has been very
busily engaged for the last 6 weeks in
examining these "bumps of nature" as
they have been called. With the excep-
ton Of the largest one he has honey
cOmbed them in every direction. He has
now packed and shipped to Washington
100 pounds of his ''tnds."
1t is an interesting old curiosity shop.
Perhaps some portion OF everything the
Indians ever nodded from clay or cut from
rocks is here to be found-spear heads,
hatchets, pipes, paint rocks, beads,
spades, ornaments, etc. But the most
interesting as to who built them and how
long since, are bit of glass, the iron of a
saddle tree, case knife, and a piece OF
alloy containing the Spanish coat of arms.
Some have been used as dwellings, as
Goals and ashes and distinct forms Of fire.

Others were used as cemeteries. As

Is happy again, as her club shone forth
today in the game with the Nashville
Americans with their old-time strength
ana glory by returning the Americans
their basket Of goose eggs and defeating
them BY a score of S to 1. The Americans
would have been shut out but for
an error on the part Of hap-
nell. tie catcher for Columbus, who
in the seventh inning allowed a ball
to pass bIm, on which the Americans
scored their only run. This man was
properly out at second, but the umpire, as
the decision was close, gave 1t to the run
uer. The Americans have fallen in line
with the other sQuabblers, and say that
tbev VIII contest the game on account as
tncy saw of unfair decisions made by
Umpire Green. and they have asked
Tor his suspension. The spectators eX-
urass the opinion that mis- decisions were
Strictly impartial. and think that the
Americans should accept defeat as grace
fully as Columbus did. Crowel, the
crack pitcher for the Americans, was
batted freely. The home club played SUI
