TUESDAY JULY mmRnMHi

Gen. Grant in Action. Nearly every General in co trim and of an army has a peculiar habit "which ho exhibits only on the battle-field.— Jn civil life wine frequent^ develops traits of character never revealed in a state of sobriety. In military life battle takes the place of wino in this respect. I could name men who are noted for their observance of the second commandment, in camp, but who exhibit signs of profanity while the skirmish lino is being formed, and get to swearing before the battle is fairl}' begun. (I will mako a remark here, to save others from doing it, at the expenso of this paragraph: That while the intoxication of wine renders locomotion difficult the intoxication of battle accelerates it in too many instances.)

You cannot read in General Grant's countenance how a battle is going.— "Whether the enemy is driving him. or he is driving the enemy, he wears the same placid features—neither a smile nor a frown. You look in vain for hope, fear or anxiety depicted in his facial expression. But there is one key by which some idea may be formed as to how he feels while the struggle progresses. The General is, in camp, addicted to the "use of the weed" to a moderate extent, but on the battlefield he indulges more than usual.— The more desparate the battle, the more extravagant his use of Cubas and Principes. When his men are pushlag forward, and the enemy giving way, the blue smoko ascends at regular intervals in small and scarcely perceptible curls. When the ground is being contested, his face is lost in Cuban exhalations. "When there is a prospect that the day will go against him, he ceases to smoke, and commences to punish his innocent exotic by vigorously biting the end of it. When he rides along the lines without a cigar, there is no enemy in front except a small body of rebel cavalry, and he knows it.

Gen. Sherman is an inveterato smoker on the battle-field also. When he was wounded at Shiloh, he wrapped his pocket hankerchief round his hand, lit a cigar, and became more earnest than ever.— Cin. Com.

Unprecedented Drouth in Minnesota—Its Effects on the Crops— Tlie ProbabJe Failure of tlie Indian Expedition.

From the St. Paul Press, 15th.

It is now nearly six weeks since we had a fall of rain. Within our memory no such drouth has occurred in this State. The effect on the young grain has of course been disastrous.— Spring wheat is everywhere throughout the State shrivelled and yellowed by the burning sun, and is prematurely heading out a few inches above the desiccated soil. Grass on the prairiew is parched to an autumn&l hue. Indian corn alone, of all other crops, holds up its head against the drouth, and has a vigorous and thrifty look. Winter wheat also looks weli. The rivers arc lower than was ever known before.— Even the wells are getting dry.

On Saturday last the sky bore all the tokens of an approaching storm.— We are glad to learn—though the blessed boon was denied to this locality— that rain fell that day over an extensive district of the State, and we hope in time to save the wheat crop from destruction. The afflication has not, we are sorry to say, been confined to our own State. It extends throughout Iowa, and, in a still more aggravated degree than here, over the whole rogion west beyond the Missouri.

The fact is destined to have an important and, wo fear, calamitous bearing on the success of Gen Sibley expedition.

Parties connected with the liuJson Bay Company's trains, just arrived, report the whole country between Fort Abercrombie and Pembina burnt over by Prairie fires, except, of course, in the bottoms and meadows. Under these circumstanoes it will bo almost impossible for Gen. Sibley to subsist his animals, and, for what we see, the whole enterprise will have to be abandoned till a more favorable season, or prosecuted by other means.*

P. S.—Since the above was written we have been favored with the commencement of a shower. It is to be hoped that it. will continue a sufficient period to prevent further damage from the drouth.

jjar A Washington correspondent of the Ohio State Journal exposes the clap-trap used to secure tho recall of MoClellan to the Army of the Potomac. He says: ''Gov. Cuvtin telegraphs to the President to restore the wooden-headed god to tho command of the army of the Potomac, or the people of Pennsj'lvania will not rally to the defence of their own firesides. This looks well on paper, but it becomes an extremely small and contemptible thing when we learn that the dispatch was first written in this city, by on« of McClellan's friends, and Sent to the Governor with the request to have him telegraph it to tho President. The whole trick being known to the President before tho dispatch arrived, it did not produce, perhaps, that stunning effect which iteor it
