FitZ John Porter.

General Grants letters in reference
to the case of Fitz John Porter have
just been made public, and give an in
teresting insight into the means by
which the great commanders CONVEX
sion from believer in General Porter's
guilt to an earnest champion for his
reinstatement was brought about 1t
appears that up to September, 1881,
General Grant had never reviewed for
himself the testimony in the case, con-
tenting himself with reliance upon
the ability and integrity of the court
martial which originally pronounced
the sentence. AT that time, in compli-
ance with personal request from Gen
eral Porter, General Grant went care
fully over the evidence, and, in so do
ing, came to the conclusion that the
famous order for an attack did not
reach General Porter until nightfall;
that a literal obedience was then i'm
possible, and that all was done to obey
that could be done in the face of Long
streets superior forces.

The Way to Win a Fight.

General Grant has often told me that
there comes time in every hard
fought battle when both armies are
nearly or quite exhausted, and it seems
impossible for either to do more. This
he believes to be the turning-point;
whichever after first renews the fight is
sure to win. The general or the man
who does what can neither be expected
nor required is the one who succeeds.
This theory was exemplifed. At a
certain moment in one battle the ma
tional troops were thrust back nearly to
the river. The reinforcements had not
arrived; part of the command was
broken, thousands had been taken pris-
oners and thousands had fled to the
rear. AT this juncture General Buell.
came upon the field, in advance of his
troops, still miles away. 1t was the
darkest moment of the day. He rode
up to Grant, near the river, and, seeing
the crowds of cravens there, supposed
that all was lost. What preparations
have you made for retreating, gen.
eral?" he inquired. Grant replied, Il
haven't despaired of whipping them
yet" " But if you should be whipped"
said the other, show will you get your
men across the river? These trans
ports will not take 10000 men," elf
l have to cross the river,' said Grant,
100000 will be all l shall need trans
ports for" His army was 10000 strong.
In battle, as in strategical movements,
Grant always meant to take the initia-
| tive; he always advanced, was always
the aggressor, always sought to force
his plans upon the enemy; and if by
any chance and circumstance the enemy
attacked, his method of defence was an
attack elsewhere. AT Donelson, as we
have seen, when his troops were pushed
back on the right, he assaulted on the
left; and this was only one instance out
of hundred. This, too, not only be-
cause he was the invader, or because
his forces were numerically stronger,
but because it was his nature in war to
assail. In the Vicksburg campaign his
army was smaller than Pemberton's,
yet he was the aggressor. In the oper-
fensive one, but he attacked the enemy
all the same. 1t was his idea of war to
attack necessarily and advance invaria-
bly,, and thus to make the operations of
the enemy part and parcel of his own.
Like most soldiers, Grant was indiffer-
ent to fatigue in the field. He could
outride the youngest and hardest of
his officers, and endured the lack of
food or the loss of sleep longer than
any of his staff. Yet he slept when it
was possible, and never put himself to
needless trouble. So, too, he never
braved danger unnecessarily; he was
not excited by it, but was simply indif-
ferent to twas calm when others were
aroused. | have often seen him sit
erect in his saddle when every one else
instinctively shrank as a shell burst in
the neighborhood. Once he sat on the
ground writing dispatch in fort just
captured from the enemy, but still COM
manded by another near. A shell burst
Immediately over him, but his hand
never shook, he did not look up and
continued the dispatch as calmly as if
he had been in camp.-Adam Badeau,

suspicious, but on his claiming to know
General Longstreet, and that he had
important communication to make to
him, he was at once taken to Long
streets tent. AS soon as Longstreet
put his eyes on him he grasped the
poor soldier by the hand, and, shaking
it heartily, said, " Good Lord, am
glad to see you l thought you were
killed !" He proved to be the brave
and faithful scout, Harrison, that Long
street had sent into the federal lines
while his corps was still in Culpepper
county, Virginia. Longstreet exam
ined him on the spot, and from this
man received the first information that
the federal army had crossed the Poto-
mac at Edwards Ferry, and its advance
had reached Frederick City, Maryland.
He sent the scout to General Lee, by a
staff officer, and followed himself soon
after. Longstreet, in one of his con-
tributions to the "Annals of the War;"
page 410, in speaking of this very mans
appearance on the night as stated, says:
Late on Monday evening, June Doth,
a scout named Harrison, who had been
sent by me into the federal lines to OBJ
tain information, while our army was
yet in Culpepper county, Virginia,
came to my headquarters at Chambers
burg, and reported that the Union
army had crossed the Potomac at Ed
wards Ferry, and his advance was at
Frederick City, Maryland" General
Longstreet saw at glance that the in
formation brought by this scout was of
vast importance, and might involve
momentous consequences. In this
connection, little further on, Long
street says We had not heard from
the enemy for several days, and Cen
eral Lee and myself were in doubt as
to where he was. Indeed, we did not
know that he had yet left Virginia. In
the absence of all knowledge of the
position of the federal army, General
Lee had issued orders to General Ewell
for an attack on Harrisburg, part of
whose corps was, on that very night,
Monday, June Goth, near the intrench-
ments, on the west bank of the Sus-
quehanna; but on receiving the in
formation brought by this scout he at
once countermanded the order and di-
rected Ewell and all his other generals
to concentrate on Gettysburg" The
work of concentration was begun at
once. We thus see that the capture of
the capital of Pennsylvania was one of
the objects contemplated by the COM
handing general. He knew that no
regular or efficient force was there to
defend it. And he also knew that the
raw militia could effect little or nothing
against Ewell's veteran troops.-South-
ern Bir0udc.

Selected Storp.
The Exhaustion of Life.

The life of man is made of many lives,
His heart and mind of many minds and hearts,
And he in inward growth most surely thrlves
who lets wise nature order all the partsi
To each disposing what BELTS their scope
To boyhood pleasures without care or plan,
To youth affections bright and light as hope,
Deep-seated passions to the ripened man.
oh, well to say, and well If done as said
But who himself can keep each separate stage?
Stand twxt the living feelings and the dead,
And give its special life to every age2
who can forbid the present to encroach
on what should rest the futures free domain,
Holding the past undmmed by self-reproach,
Nor borrow joy at usury of pain?
Boyhood invades the phantasies of youth
Rocked in imagination's golden arms,
And leaves its own delights of healthy truth
For premature and visionary charms.
Youth, to whom poesy by right belongs,
And every creature of the fairy race,
Turns deaf ear to those enchanting songs,
And sees no beauty in that dreamy face
But will, though by experience uninjured,
Plunge into deepest CULTS of mental fire,
Trying what angels have in vain endured
The tolls of thought-the struggles of desire;
So that when manhood in its place at last,
Comes and demands its labors and its powers,
The spirits energies worn and past,
And life remains a lapse of feeble hours.

old people had sung all they wanted to,
ladies for their drive home.
John Gushing and Charlie Leonard
went out to help hitch up the teams"
and one by one the wagons came up to
the door and the good women were
piled in, until the last one had driven
away. When Lottie and Amy, John
and Charlie returned to the now de-
serted parlors, from which Mrs. Girls
void had escaped to her kitchen, they
found Mr.. Hunter still talking with
Mrs. Hutchinson.
Cushing, come herep' shouted
Hunter. "You'll be glad enough to
know that I've found what I've been
looking for, right under my nose. Mis-
Hutchinson, here, turns out to be my
little sister Jane"
They all crowded up to hear the
story and congratulate the reunited
brother and sister. Mrs. Griswold,
too, was called in, and the committee,
to hear the good news.
Jane says she's got two children
over to Newport" said Hunter, "and
l reckon tomorrow we'll hev to go
over and git 'em, and then, if l kin
find place that suits, we'll settle down
here. 1t will seem good, after the way
I've been living, to hev home of my
own and my sister in it, keepin' house
for me-"
The young people now began to come
in for the evenings entertainment, put
ting stop to further conversation
then, but Mr.. Hunter carried out his
plan, installing Jane as mistress of q
fine house, to which he came and
went as he pleased, not being inclined
to stay long in one place, after the
rowing life he had led for so many
years. He provided plentifully for his
sister and her children. Grandma
Merivale took all the credit to herself
and never wearied of telling how she
brought Mr.. Hunter and Mrs. Hutch
inson together at Charlie Leonard's
donation party. But it was generally
conceded that the donation was a great
success, and it is certain that more
than one poor family dated their hap
