GEN. MCPHERSON ON GRANT. The
gallant General MCPHERSON, who
fell mortally wounded before Allan
ia, Georgia, was for time men,
Der of Grants military family, and
served through the memorable
Vicksburg campaign as commander
of the Seventeenth Army Corps, has
left the following record, written
but short time before his untimely
death, of his opinion of our great
Captain, General Grant:


General U. S. Grant I regard as
one of the most remarkable men our
country. Without aspiring to be a
genius, or possessing those charac-
teristics which impress one forcably
at first sight, his sterling good sense,
calm judgment and persistency of
purpose more than compensate for
those dashing brilliant qualities
which are apt to captivate at first
glance. To know and appreciate
General Grant fully one ought to be
a member of his military family.
Though possessing remarkable re-
ticence, as far as military operations
are concerned, he is frank and affa
BILE, converses well, and has a pc
culiarly retentive memory. When
not oppressed with the cares of his
position, be is very fond of talking,
telling anecdotes, &c. His purity
of character is unimpeachable, and
his patriotism of the most exalted
kind. He is generous to fault,
humane and true; and steadfast
friend to those whom he deems
worthy of his confidence. He can be
relied upon in case of emergency.

A German Campaign Article.


The New York Criminal Zeitung,
a German weekly paper, which has
very large circulation among the
Germans of this country, contains
the following article in its last is
sue: ..5


The Presidential campaign, as far
as the north is concerned, is no very
passionate one till now, although
some newspapers are not free of ut
terances of ire. The quiet of the
North is chiefly to be explained by
the uneasiness in the South, which
shows the North what duty it has to
perform There were indeed in no
campaign more principles involved
than there is in the present one, and
nearly every person knows what to
do. If on one side are Wade Hamp
ton and Forest, and on the other
side Grant and Sheridan, no doubt
can rise, because the form of Frank
Blair is to be seen between both
sides. One party says, "Down with
Congress and its reconstruction D
while the other party wants to sup
port Congress in its national policy,
and to maintain its work andI com
plete it, Here they are threatening
a new civil war, while there we hear
the words, s'Let us have peace"
Here the disputing and doubling of
the obligations contracted by the
nation is stigmatized as crime,


while on the other side they openly
demand the breach of a solemn
promise. Under such circumstan-
ces it cannot be hard for q man to
set himself right, and there is no
cause for him to be. exasperated.-


Who likes Forest and Wade Hamp-
ton will join their company. Those
who had just enough of such per-
sons during the war, will keep away
from them. Who wishes the coun-
try most of all peace, will vote for
Grant and Colfax. Who thinks that
the interests of the country demand


new rebellion, renewed bloodshed,


will Join those who declare things
done and existing null and void, and
whose theory, if. executed, would
have no other meaning but civil war.
Quite as precise and naturally the
followers Of the different ideas about
the sanctity or nulity of a contracted
debt will separate from each other.


In all these questions there is so
little room left for mistake, and the
principles are so plain that it would
be foolish to treat of. subordinate
questions. ..~ .....-...... ....-.rs
We believe that the majority OF
the people want peace. We believe
the country will not frivolously
squander what was won by so hard
struggle, and expose the ship OF


state to new storms. We believe
the people do not intend to restore
to power those persons who caused
the country so much misery. We


are convinced that the American
people will pay their debts exactly
as they were contracted. We, on


our part, patiently wait for the re-
suit of the campaign, and our only
wish is that the people might treat
with contempt those men who try


to desecrate the struggle for princi-
pie by personal attacks. We never
shall SANDER the private character
of Seymour or Blair, or deny the
merits of these men in their respect
i've spheres. But we expect and de-
mand that our adversaries in princi-
pies will show the same justice to
our candidates. The fair fight is
for men, the dishonorable one for
knayes.

oticers:--


II have transmitted to your counties copies
of my proclamation declaring marshal law in

State Government must sustain itself at the
point OF the bayonet II necessary. The Ameri-
can people have 6y overwhelming majorites
declared in favor OF the validity of the recon-
stfuction measures and the Government
set up here under the United States
authorities. In Difference to the decision of the
people we ask no help from abroad. We must
show willingness to help ourselves. The ene-
mica OF the State and the Government are de-
moralized by the effects OF the stunning blow
received on the Sd instant, and now is the aus
picious time for the officers of the Government
State, county, and municipal, aided by the loyal
people, to recover their lost authority, aud by
one grand, thorough effort establish peace and
order permanently in this State, 1t is the de-
termination of the Executive to bend every
energy towalds the accomplishment of this
desired end and If the officers OF the various de-
partments in the State aud the law abiding people
will but heartily second him in his efforts it will
be accomplished. | therefore urge upon the
officers of your county to put forth united and
determined effort fer the enforcement OF the law,
and towards bringing criminals TO punishment.
You must make your authority respected or
bring on an open Issue. If alter making a
vigorous attempt you fail, then martial la v will
be extended TO your county, and upon the
heads of the people thereof dreadful responsi-
bility must rest. You are requested to perfect
an organization OF the militia in your county.
If the loyal people do not volunteer IN the
State, reserve militia must be organized,
and when called upon you must furnish your
quota of militia to operate in other portions of
the State. Urge upon the citizens not to act
upon their own opinions against the authorities.
A general plan is determined upon, and all must
render cheerful assent in order to make it sue
cessful, Warn the people against unauthorized
interference in the affairs of other countries,

THE Sun AND MOON DINING ouT.


One day the sun the Moon and the Wind
went out to dine with their uncle aud aunt,
the Thunder and Lightning Their mother,
Zone of the most distant stars you see far up
in the sky,) waited alone for her children's
return.


Now both the Sun and the Wind were
greedy and selfish. They enjoyed the great
feast that had been prepared for them, with
out thought of saving any of it to take
home to their mother-but the gentle Moon
did not forget her. OF every dainty dish
that was brought round, she placed small
portion under one of her beautiful long finger
nails, that the Star might also have share
in the treat.


On their return, their mother, who had
kept watch for them all night long with her
little bright eye, said, d" "Well, children, what
have you brought home for me2" Then the
Sun (who was the oldesi) said, / have
brought nothing home for you. went out
to enjoy myself with my friends-not to fetch
dinner for my mother % And the Wind
said, Neither have brought anything home
for you, mother You could hardly expect
me to bring collection of good things for
You when | went out merely for my own
pleasure" But the Moon said, ' Mother
fetch plate, see what have brought you.
Aud shaking her hands she showered down
such a choice dinner as never was seen before


Then the Star turned to the sun and spoke
thus, " Because you went out to amuse your
self with your friends, and ieasted and enjoyed
yourself, without any thought of your mother
at home-you shall be cursed Henceiortl
your rays shall be ever hot and scorchng, anC
shall burn all that they touch. And mel
shall hate you, aud cover their heads wher
you appear"


(And that is why the Sun is so hot to thi'
day.


Then she turned to the Wind and said
You also forgot your mother in the mlds
of your selfish pleasures-hear your doom
You shall always blow in the hot dry weather
and shall parch and shrivel all living things
/ And men shall detest aud avoid you from thi
very time


(And that is why the Wind in the ho
weather is still 80 disgreeable.)


But to the Moon she said, Daughter, be
cause you remembered your mother, aud KEEP
for her share in your own enjoyment, from
heneeforth you shall be ever cool, and ealn
and bright. No noxious glare shall accom-
pany your pure rays, aud men shall Away

Alta meeting ofthe Anthropolgica Society
of Paris, member recently gave the result
of his researches on this subject He thought
that there was no reason for supposiDg an
anatomical resemblance between man and
the gorilla As regards the brain, that of
the gorilla is the lowest of the various elias
ses of apes, since the brain does not cover
the eerebellnm. Its not in his size and
strength that we must look for human char
acter, but in the conformation of the hands,
and Just in this he differs considerably from
man. The thumb is very short in the goril-
la, and has no independent movement of
opposition, In the orang though the thumb
is shortened, ii is still capable of independ-
ent bending. The fact that establishes a
great relation between man and the ape is
that in them the optic nerves are in direct
connection with the hemispheres ofthe brain,
whilst in the other vertebrate, or the ami
mails with backbone, their nerves reach
the brain through the intervention Of two
small nervous bodies. But it does not follow
that with equal possession Of the senses
there is identity in the danger of their in
telligence, for though the senses are sub
servient to the operations of the intellect, 1t
cannot be said they produce it. five place
