GENERAL GRANT AT HIS FATHERS
GoUsE.-From we'll written bio gra-
ply of Gen. Grant in the Ohio State
Journal, we take the following account
Of General Grants visit to his fathers
house about two weeks ago:
"On his way from Washington last
Saturday he called at the Spencer
house, Cincinn att, about half past ten
in the morning and sent his son across
the river to Covington to te Il his father
to be at home, for he would call as soon
as he could take breakfast. In about
half an hour he came up on foot, and
for the first time in three years, found
his father and mother and three sis.
ters at home. They saluted each other
very affectionately and conversed for
a few moments. The neighbors soon
gathered in, and children who knew
his children when last there, and some
soldiers also who said to him they
"knew him on the battle field" He
answered all questions that were asked
him in brief sentences, as his manner
is, and did not smile while in the
house. He pulled out his watch on
coming in and looked, and said he had
only fifteen minutes to stay; looked
again and said he must 60, and started
off,
We find in the Nashville Union the
following notice of the death of Mr..
Hamilton:
"Henry G. Hamilton of Two Rivers,
Wisconsin, Sutler of the 9Th Wisconsin
Battery, died in this city last Monday
evening at o'clock at the corner Of
Cedar and Cherry streets. He was
formerly Regimental Quartermaster of
the 2lst Wisconsin. He was very
highly esteemed by the Suffers in the
army of the Cumberland and by all
army men to whom his many excellent
traits of character were known. He
was at one time member of the legis-
lature Of Wisconsin. Though away
from home he died among friends"
PRESENT COST OF THE WAR.-Half
a million of northern men have been
sacrificed and four thousand millions of
dollars expended to force the South to
submit to Lincolu's party and to the
amalgamation of four millions of ne
groes into general citizenship on So
cial and political equality with the
whites.
The resolution of Congress not to
permit monarchy in Mexico is about
the most impudent thing they have
done yet. After having worked for
three years to fastsn military des-
potism upon their own country, they
profess to be mighty concerned for the
freedom of the Mexicans while estab-
fishing the principles of monarchy
here in it's worst and most despotic
form, they profess (the hypocrites) to
be shocked at an empire in Mexico.
