A REPORTERS BREAKFAST WITH GRANT.
TGEN HORACE PORTER IN THE cENrURY]

IGEN HORACE PORTER IN THE CENTURY
 After the officers at headquarters had obtained what sleep they could get, they arose about daylight, feeling that in all proba bIity they would witness before night either a fight or foot-race-a
 fight if the armies encountered each other, foOt-race to secure a good po- stion if the armies remained apart.
 Gen Meade had started south at dawn, moving along the Germanna road. Gen Grant intended to remaIn in his present camp till Burnside arrived, in order to give him some directions in person re- garding his movements. The general sat down to the breakfast-table after nearly all the staff officers had finished morning meal. While he was slowly sipping his coffee, & young newspaper reporter, whose appetite, combined with his spirit of enterprise, had gained a substantial victory over his modesty, slipped up to the table, took 8 seat at the further end, and remarked, "Well, wouldn't mind taking a cup of some thing warm myself, if there's no ob- jection." Thereupon, seizing 8 coffee pot, he poured out full ration of that soothing army beverage, and, after help ing himself to some of the dishes. pro- ceeded to eat breakfast with an appetite which had evidently been stimulated by long hours of fasting.
 The general paid no more attention to this occurrence than he would have been paid to the flight of bird across his path. He scarcely looked at the intru der, did not utter a word at the time and made no mention of it afterward It was fair sample of Ithe imperturba- bility of his nature as to trivial matters taking place about him.

OLD BoEnAs PAYS Us A VISIT

Boreas, the reputed son of Astracus and Aurora, paid us a visit, last week He gave us to understand that this visit was a fOrerunner of what we might ex- pect while his reign lasted, this season He did not say as Kehoboam said to the combined assembly of the Israelites, My father made your yoke heavy and will add to your yoke; my father chas- tised you with whips but will cha-tise you with scOrpiOns.' All this was in- ferential. It is not easy to understand him. However, we have endured his wis., it with good will and hope to be ready for him at any time.
