in my letter 10 you of the 26th inst, you
will please relieve him, and assign them in
sll respects TO William T. Sherman, Lieuten-

States. By way Of guiding Gen. Sherman
in the performance Of his duties, you will
furnish him with copy of your special
DrCers to Gen. Grant made in compliance
with my letter of the 10Th inst, together
with copy Of the instructions OF the Secre-

of War.
At the Navy Department ! learned
that the United States ship Susquehanna,
Capt. Alden, WAS fitting out in New
York for the use Of this mission, and
that there would be time Tor me to re-
turn TO St. Louis to make arrangements
for prolonged absence, as also to com
municate with Mr.. Campbell, who was
still at his home in Hamilton, O.
BY correspondence we agreed to meet
in New York, Nov 8, he accompanied
by Mr.. Plumb, Secretary OF Legation,
and | by my Aid, Col Audenried.
We embarked Nov. 10, and went to
sea next day, making for Havana and
Vera Cruz, and, as soon as We were out
side of Sandy Hook, / explained to
Capt. Alden that my mission was ended,
because i believed by substituting my
self FOR Gen. Grant had prevented a
serious quarrel between him and the
Administration, which was unnecessary.
We reached Havana on the 18th,
with nothing to vary the monotony OF
an ordinary sea-voyage, except of
Hatteras We picked up one woman and
20 men from open boats, who had just
abandoned a propeller bound from
Baltimore to Charleston, which found
cred. The sea was very rough, but by
the personal skill and supervision Of
Capt. Alden every soul reached our deck
safely, and was carried to our Consul al
Havana. At Havana we were yer,
handsomely entertained, especially by
Senor Aldama, who took US by rail Il
his sugar-estates at Santa Rosa, and bacl
by Matanzas.
SITUATION AT VERA CRUZ.
We took our departure thence on tn
25th, and anchored under Isla Verde
of Vera Cruz, on the 18th.

He said that it was generally understood
that Gen. Grant construed the occupa-
ton of the territories of our neighbor,
Mexico, by French troops, and the
establishment of an Empire therein,
. with an Austrian Prince at its head, as
hostile to Republican America, and that
the Administration had arranged with
the French Government for the with
drawal of Bazaine's troops, which would
leave the country free for the President
elect Juarez to reoccupy the City Of
Mexico, ETC.; that Mr.. Campbell had
been accredited to Juarez, and the fact
that he was accompanied by so dis
tinguished a soldier as Gen. Grant would
emphasize the act OF the United States
| simply reiterated that Gen. Grant
would not go, and that he (Mr. John
SOM could not afford to quarrel with
him at<that time. further argued that
Gen. Grant was at the moment engaged
on the most delicate and difficult task of
reorganizing the Army under the act OF
July Is, 1866; that if the real object
was TO put Mr.. Campbell in official COM
munication with President Juarez, sup
posed to be at El Paso or Monterey,
either Gen. Hancock, whose command
embraced New Mexico, or Gen. Sheri-
dan, whose command inclCded Texas,
could fulfill the object perfectly; or, in
the event of neither Of these alternates
proving satisfactory to the Secretary OF
State, that | could be easier spared than
Gen. Grant.

HOOO'S Pills pills. aid .i digestion. t aoo.
The Brunswick times. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 188?-1900, 1897-10-19

The workman often eats his lunch
on the same bench where he does his
work. The office man turns his desk
into a dining-table. Neither gets the
out of doors exercise he needs, neither
takes the proper time for eating. 1t
is small wonder that the digestion Of
both gets out of order. In such cases
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets come to
their assistance by aiding nature in
taking care of the food.
The cause of nine-tenths Of the sick
ness of the world is constipation.
From this one cause come indigestion,
disorders of the stomach, liver and
kidneys, biliousness, headaches, flatu-
lence, heartburn, impurity Of the
blood and the serious complications
that follow. To begin with, ooustipa-
ton is little thing, and little thing
will cure it. The pleasant Pellets"
are tiny, gar-ooated granules. They
will perfectly cure the worst case Of
constipation and indigestion. If the
druggist tries to sell you some other
pill that pays him greater profit, just
think Of what will best pay you.

AN INVITING LIST.

THE TIMES publishes in its local COL
umns today the official list Of attrao-
tons that will be available for the
Brunswick lyceum this season in case
the organization Is effected.
1t makes an inviting array, and
should certainly prove a stimulus in
securing the additional members re-
quired without delay.
The list includes some of the most
eminent men in the various learned
professons-men who are at present
leaders in thought and action. Bruins
wick is large enough to enjoy the lux
ury of visitations from these great
speakers, writers and musicians and
the fact that the lyceum assures them
to us at such trifling cost should be
sufficient to get the organization per-
footed right away.

DANA.

The death of Charles A. Dana is an
event epochal in newspaperdom, be-
cause it removes the most striking in
dividuality in the whole field of jour-
nalism, and if not the ablest, surely
the most brilliant of editors.
The paper to which he has impaired
the force and vigor of his genius will
live after him, but it will live soul
less thing, lacking the dominant brain
that made it notable. 1t may be said,
with much of truth, that the Sun has,
in the death of Dana, lost its fire, and
remains only a repository for the
ashes of his fame.
Dana was strange character, with
type of ability peculiar unto himself.
In politics, he was an erratic figure,
that fingered not long by any one
cause or under any one standard; in
literature, he shone, not because he
was particularly learned, but because
he was brilliantly unique; in journal
ism, the master of editorial sareasm-a
combination of Horace, ridiculing the
follies of his time and of Juvenal, lash
ing its vices. He was often wrong,
but never dull; 1t was in advocating
Ct unpopular CT n erroneous policy
that h,s genius blazed brightest. This
was a distinct and original trait of the
man. He could have set his mind to
conviction of the advantages of He'll
and written almost unanswerable dis
sertations on the desirabilty of every
body going there.
The people of the south have never
loved Dana, because he, too often,
went out OF his way to stab the fair
reputation Of this section with the
poisoned dagger of his bitterness. But
the south has always admired his
ability, though it was most frequently
directed against US. Indeed, the
south will keenly feel his loss, because
he added spice to life, and delighted
US while he damned US.
Dana can be easily rated as great
editor, for great editors make great
newspapers, and the test of the great
ness Of newspaper is found in the
influence it wields, and is estimated
not only by the number of its friends
but also by the number of Its enemies.
We could easily apply to the dead ed
itor of the Sun the saying of Tennyson
Never yet
Was noble man but made ignoble talk,
He makes no friend who never made foe.
