11 ,JII|III,I ILII m m mmmm w Grant aud Washburne, „

(Corrcapontlcnce of the Clevo|Aiid Loader.) ltueontly I met Mr. KHhii 1 . Wiish-

buruu and bis brotlior, tho Gsperal You are iictiimintpd with their faees-— earnest, energetic, clear-headed, posi­tive men, with large frames. Th^y began in Maine, where many Wash-burnes live at present. They have nseq, to a large oxtent, independently of oaoh other, and by no means agree in small issues. Elibu B. Wasbburne has been a consistent, kindly, and ad­miring friend of Gen. Grant. He has been accused of taking no notice of Grant in Galena j but Grant was a new-comer there, and Washburnc was away from homo in Congress three-fourths of the year. Grant's lather sent for his sou not long before the war, and offered him eight hundred dollars a year to take charge of his leather and hide business. Grant went to work, mado lew acquaintances, and was one of the most unknown men in Galena, When the war began Wash-burno stirred himself to raise a com­pany in Galena, and as it was known to a few that Grant had been a Cap­tain in the army, be was looked upon as the proper man to bo chairman. Mr. Washburno described to me this hard-working, commonly-drossed man, with an old, faded dragoon cloak to his shoulders, mounting to the bench of the court-house, and stating the ob­ject of the meeting. When the com­pany was raised Grant was found to be perfect in all the" details ot equip­ping it Iroiu boots to buttons. WaMii-burne, Grant, and the rest took the company down to Spring Hold. There, with scanty means, paying three dol­lars a day for board, Grant waited the disorganized process of the State au­thorities, with Dick Yates, Impractica­bly us now, at the head of the State. Finally Grant said to Washburno:

"I dan do nothing here; I am rap-ning Short; I shall go home and go to Wofk."

"Hold on!" said Washburno. At last Grant was placed in tlio Adjutant-General's .Department, and by happy lack Was one day placed at the head of a regiment afflicted with a drunken Colonel. So began the fame which has gone round the World,

Washburno's relations with Grant are nothing more than those between rwo friends who believe in each other. Washburno finds in Grant latent Abil­ities developing eyery day. powprs coming out of his modesty, like a bee's nest in a violet bod. Ite had no aid whatever in writing any of las letters or battle bulletins. The celebrated dispatch;."! will fight it put, on'this line if it takes all summer," was brought from Spottsylvania to Wash­ington in Mr. Washburne's pooket. He said to Grant as he. quitted the field:

"General, have you any messago to send to tho War Department ?" "I guess not," said Grant. "I think it would bo well," returned Washburno, "if you sent some little word to tho people." "Very well."

Gen. Grant sat down in the tent, and, as, quickly as he could transcribe, and without reading the message over, gave it to Washburno, sealed. The latter pamo to Belle Plain, took a boat, landed at tho Navy Yard, rode in a horse oar to tho War Department, where he found everybody blue and doubtful, and delivered the letter to Stanton. That simple bulletin thrilled the country, and went into tho opt gianimiitie literature of mankind.

. . . . . . • , - . - • ; , t ; : 1 . ' ; . • M

So wjth Gen. Grant's letter, resnoii sive to his nomination at Chioiigo. People were saying among themselves; "Somebody ought to give Grant ad-vioo about that letter., l ie might put hiS foot in i t That letter is vital."

"Never mind," said Washburno, «He'U do it up right.*••'- i » ; n ...I. J!.

* 1 e And without labor, spontaneously,

clerically, (Jrant wrote the letter, whioh hi njjpre to the point and more eledtirloM^an' anjjr mere' platform in the bi'stifify .61 politicians.

Waslilsine's' regard for Grant ia not that of a father, nor close as a bijother^TItls the same admiration, only hotter informed, that tho country has of jm General-ln-Chiof. He ad­mires, Grant's simplieity, introspection, si|ioority, and capacity for every new occasion, '-.-' • • i"

JOHN <JBINAMAN ON BIB DIGNITY.

()ji0 of the members of tho Chinese Kmb^Asj^i^UeinSanyranolsoo late­ly; strolled into a billiard room one day and -was intently watching the' play of i twoi first-rato amateurs, who were' ma­king capital shots, and ovidontly tin-'

dqrstanffling i% game in ali^s. b>a^ ings. At last one of tho players mado a brilliant shot, and getting the balls cornered, nursed thorn until ho had made rtn immense run. At this a member of the genus snob who stood looking on, slapped the grave (Jhjna-. man on.tho back familiarly and said, "Well, John, how do you like that, ehi?J' T|ie reply, in perfect English, and in a loud, clear voice, attracted tty attention of all round: "Sir* yoa sliovdd know that that is UPt a proper manner to address a s ratjgsr*" The young man sumo what abashed, but Bot yet fssdfr to; get down from bis high lior»o, blurted out, half apolot gejti aljjf "Well, you needn't tiaks. ankr lOfijeose, you, ;kno w f I don't h»pr

pep to kuow your name, and when we speak to.a Chinaman w e always call him John, you see." The celestial bowed and waved his hand in a man­ner that said unmistakably, "Go about your business," and replied, "Well,1

sir, if you have any more communica­tions to make with me you had bettor seo Mr. Builingamo and have an intro­duction." This hint was as good as a kick, and the omcious youth slunk away in i silence, while tho celestial turned quickly to watch the game, as if nothing more important had oc­curred. . \

GpssiPFiNG.—It is not alone in small neighborhoods that scandal exclusive­ly operates. Out in tho world it in­terferes with, a thousand things, caus­ing unbounded troubles. In trado, in friendship, in politics, its of tools aro seen; and half the evils of life that ono encounters is oaused by tho obtru­sion of some hand in his dish besides his own. How much heart-burning is caused by it, how much bitterness, how .much hatred, how much annoy-anoo! And yet those who meddle most are often the vory good people, who would not do any harm for the world, and aro quite shocked at tho results which their abominable inter­ference has brought about. Eyery thing is heard to be repeated, and sug­gestions ' are made by them which af­terwards'become affirmations of your own, that do all manner of harm. And yet the meddlers do not know what they have done. They might, indeed, Weep with you over crushed hopes that their very propensity has caused, and bear no malice in their hearts towards anybody; as any inno­cent colt might, m his excess of lov-bigness, kick his owner's and best friend's brains out. If people would but mind their own! business, there would be less bankruptoy of comfort in society, and the machinery of life in all its departments would run more smoothly.

CITY VBR8V8 COUNTRY Lira—The cities live at the expense of the coun­try. Families are exhausted and die out, and their places arc iillod by new comers from the country. This was illustrated by the case of Paris, where it'was estimated by a writer in 1B42, that among 300,000 people then living at Paris, there were probably not a thousand who could trace their fami­lies in that oity back 200 years ; or, the SJOO.fJSO people^ '• livibg in Paris in tpe roign of f.onis XIII, instead of multiplying t6<t00,000 in two contn-rios.liad dwindled down to 1,000. Ac­cording Hi Price,10,000, and according to Hume 5,0001 from the country are necessary to keep the London popula­tion up tolts number.—Mid. anit Surg. Reporter. '

JOURNALISM.—A writer in Public Spirit^ hoping to sec journalism rec­ognized in our college and university courses, says:

A successful journalist must have a thorough knowledge of the present state of science, of passing events, a quick perception of the value of busts, and a mature judgment in regard to the tendency of actions; fit* office'is to exhibit tho panorama of life, and he should bo so skilled as to present each scene in the order of its natural subordination; Ilo deals with inter­ests, intellectual principles, and moral agencies, and bis power in a communi­ty may be1 a blessing or a curse, as he uses it wisely or unwtBely. The Press, mdre tnajfjr any other agenpy, shapes and dlrpo^;pn^blio' opinibp, and in no dopiti-tmcut of human interest is there a greater n^ed >of men especially trained fbl> their work. '

Scene I. I860.

Snter President, Senator Sherman, Secretary Harlan, Governor Oox, Ti.ui low Weed, Montgomery Blair, Raymond, Hugh Hat-tings and Seward. Sherman.—-Mr. President: I de­

sire to bo informed whether you will approve of "The Civii'Kigbts Bill" if Congress should pass it ?

I^etiderU.—^l am not aware of any valid reason for withholdiut; my sig­nature to it.

Sherman.—I shall assume you will approve it, aud shall, therefore, make a conciliatory speech in the Senate.

Harlan to Sherman.—-[Aside. | "Trust not him that once liath broken

ftutli." Coo.—Mr. Prosidont: I will write

a lotter for publication in Ohio to pre­vent the alienation of Republicans from you there.

I*te8ident.—\ shall bo greatly oblig-od to you for your kind acts.

Harlan.—[Aside.] Tho President may believe what ho says ; for ho has

" Mado suoh a sinner of his memory, To credit his own lie." [Exeunt Sherman, .Harlan and Cox. W<xd.~-1 am fully persuaded that

tho Union Party should be so reform­ed as to driyo Greoloy, Sumner and Thad. Stevens out of it. It ought to be mado so conservative they cannot remain in it. I confess I should have voted the Democrat in ticket in 1864 if the Chioago Platform had been a little moro loyal; for I always thought well of MoClollan. And I now pro-dlot that tho Democrats will regain power unless the Union Party be made more Conservative.

Seuard— The Intractable Greeley, Speaks his mind quite too freely ; He spares neither age nor creed, And sacrifices Thurlow Weed.

Ho defeated my nomination for President in 1860. Ho was a delegate to the Convention from Oregon. He had previously sent correspondents all over tho country to oreate public sen­timent against me. I desire to pun­ish him for bis conduct towards me, by driving him out ot the Union Par­ty ; and that can bo accomplished by a Conservative movement in favor of the President's policy, , .

Wvcd, Tint- Tribune lias altogether too much influence in the Union Party for my comfort. It prevented the adaption of my prepositions fot a com­promise with the South in I860—«1. Greeley has abused me, and he it a bad, uncontrollable fellow.

Blair.— [Aside.] So is Seward ; though he has eaten every dirty dish I have induced the President to pre­pare for'him, for the purpose of dri­ving him out of Cabinet.

President.—I detest Greoley. He is impudent and troublesome. Ho said in tho Tribune my conduct at my inauguration as Vice-President was disgraceful, and that I ought to rcsigu! I have resolved to teach him a lesson he'll never forget I shall drive him to the wall with Thad. Stevens and Sumner, and bring Democrats over to me to compensate for all the Republi­cans those Radicals oan draw away from me. [Cheers.] This is part of my policy, [Clapping of hands,] and I shall maintain it.

" For I am he that moves both wind and fide."

I agree with Mr. Weed that the Re-puhlioau Party must be reformed ; "' Which reformation mutt be sudden too, My noble friends; for those that tamo wild

• I horses, »• —-Place them not in .their hands to make them

. gentle, Brit stop their months with stubborn bit* sad

: spur tliimi, Till they obey the manage."

TTe*tf.—Yon certainly bav.e suffi­cient patronage to oreate a great Con­servative Party, if you will permit, me to'direct how it shall bo usod and al-Idw pie to drstfibttte it, I will continu­ally thorn Greeley by accusing him of

m being in favor of Secession in i860— •1. I'll worry him about going to Canada aad whining for peace. I'll lash the rascal through the world I

i*faf>.-~fTo Weed.} Pursue him, parsae Mm I Lay on old Oaff; "And damn'd be him that first cries hold,

enough." Rttj/niondL—

"Our grlofs and hot our maimers reason now."

But the 7\me» shall be open for any articles Mr. Weed may write against Greoloy. He is obnoxious to me. H« has called me "The LHtfe Vfflaih." I'll plant thorns in his side till they fester.: His Influenoe shall be weak­ened j and ho shall be disgraced, ST' pan, ink and types mast refuse to do their wonted work;

I know " I am a prophet new intplred," And therefore speak with confidence. Hatting*,—-Much is easier said than

done, I fear » " You look but on the outside of toll work."

SAME ACT. •Seen* 2.—OJfa of the Secretary of

State, Wathington, Evening, March 6f 1866.

Knter Seward, Senator Nye, and Sohofleld M. O. from Pennsylvania -8to<»fYf.--*<>ar well tried friendship

makes me confident you will support the Polioy of the President, when I inform you it is my Policy. I am the author of i t

JVJ/a—Then you Ire a very unpopu lar author. It is an erroneous Polioy. It violates the Pledges the President made at Nashville in 1864; also, those he made to Gov. Morton and the Indi­ana Delegation here in April, 186S. Jt it a bad Polioy. But, were it good,, the President would ruin i t He is jutt as much of a man as my mother was—just no man at all! Friend Sew­ard, the sooner you abandon him and let the Copperheads and Rebels have him, body and soul, the better it will bo for you.

Seward.—It was but yesterday you wore my friend. But, now you aro a Radical, and therefore, my enemy. "Has friendship sucli a faint and milky hoart, It turns In less tlmn two nlghu ?"

Nye.—I am -stl'l your friend and give you good ad vice, But, wrong acts for you, 1 cannot do. If this shall make us enemies, tho change Shall proceed from you and not from me.

Seteard.—The Policy the Prosidont is pursuing is mine. He is a Convert to it, and it will make me President in 1868.

Nye.—Never a bit of it. If the President be a Convert to your Policy, and not you a Convert to his, he will ultimately curse you,

"Kor making him ogreglously an ass I" Seteard.—

"A friendly eye could never see such faults." Schofield,—Senator Nye has spokeu

my sentiments. Friond Seward, I re­gret to learn you are the author of the President's Policy. I hope you will not impart tho secret to others,

"Burropent that e're thy tongue Hath so betrayed thine act."

Seteard.—You may think I am a weak old man, and that I havo no Power I [Ho walks tho room, sweat­ing, and lu lists a window.] But, you'll see I have sufficient influence to send this Radical Congress into de­served obscurity. They are nimkcil to die j I'll yet make them

know, "More valor la me than my htbtta show."

Schofield.— "J son yon are eaten up with passion."

But you display more energy in sup posting the abominable Policy of the President than you hayo ever exhibit­ed in advocating any good cause. You are able and powerful, but no ability or energy in the world is sufficient to carry out the President's Polioy. The People are unmistakably against it, and in favor of Congress doing some­thing for the Security ot Southern Un­ionists, both White and Black. It will not do to give them oyer to the moroy of the Rebels. No, never •

Seward.—Gentlemen, I seo both of you are incorrigible. You art) joined to Radical Idole, aud, must perish with them I [He stamps on the floor.] Leave mo instantly I. Quit my sight, and never bo seen here again !

Schofield. [To Nye.] "lie talks at random, sure tin- man is mad."

Nye.— "The soul and body rive not more In parting, Than greatness going off." [Kxeunt.
