Y.»dispatch: "The casket for Gen. Grant’s remains was shipped from this city to Saratoga last Sunday. It is an elaborate coffin, and was built from entireiy ■original designs at an expense of over SLOW. At the solicitation of the public the manufacturers permitted it to be seen at their warerooms by such as desired. It is estimated that 20,000 people visited the spot where it was exhibited, and there were many who shed tears at the sight of the receptacle for the dead hero’s remains.” Dr. Douglas has in his possession the following remarkable document, which was writen by Gen. Grant in the Lector's ‘ presence on Thursday, July 2. I ask you not to show this to any one, anlesa the physicians you consult with, until the end. Particularly, I want it kept from my family. If known to one man the papers will get it. and they I the family] will get it. It would only distress them almost beyond endurance to know it, and, by reflex, would distress me. I have not changed my mind materially since 1 wrote you before in the same strain; now, however, I know that I gain strength some days, but when I do go back it is beyond where I started to improve. I think the chances are very decidedly in favor of your being able to keep me alive until the change of weather to war, I winter. Of course there are conting ncies that might arise at rny time that might carry me off very suddenly. The most probable of these is choking. Under the circumstances life is not worth the living. I am very thankful (for thankful glad was written, but scratched out and thankful substituted,! to have been spared this long, because it has enabled me to practically complete the work in which I took so much interest. I can not stir up strength enough to review it and make additions and subtractions that would suggest themselves to me and are not Jikelv to suggest themselves to any one else. Under the above eircumstances I will be the happiest—the most p iin I can avoid. If there is to be any extraordinary cure, such as some people believe there is to be, it will develop itself. I would say, therefore, to you and your colleagues to make me as comfortable as you can. If it is within God's providence that I should go now, I am ready to obey His call without a murmur. I should prefer to go now to enduring my present Buttering for a single day without hope of recovery. As 1 have stated, lam thankful lor the providential extension of my time to enable me to continue my work. I : m further thankful, and in a much greater degree thankful, bemuse it has enabled me to see for myself the happy harmony which so suddenly sprang up between those engaged but a few short years ago in deadly conflict. It has been an inestimable blessing to me to hear the kind expressions toward me in person from all parts of our country from people of all nationalities; ot all religions and of no religion; ot Confederates and of national troops alike, of soldier organizations; of mechanical, scientific, religious, and other societies, embracing almost every citizen in the land. They have brought joy to my heart if they have not effected a cure. So to you and your colleagues I acknowledge my indebtedness for having brought me through the ▼alley of the shadow of deash to enable me to witness these things. , U. S. Gbant. Mount MacGregor, N. Y., July 2,1835.

MISCELLANEOUS. .' The sad tidings of the demise of Gen. Grant, though not unexpected, were received throughout the country with universal manifestations of grief and sympathy. In London flags were placed at half-mast on the American Exchange and American Consulate. Mr. Gladstone and Mr. John Bright were much affected on receiving the news. President Cleveland sent the following dispatch to Mrs. Grant at Mount MacGregor: “Accept this expression of my heartfelt sympathy in this hour of your great affliction. The people of the nation mourn with you, and would reach, if they could, with kindly comfort, the depths of the sorrow which is yours alone, and which only the pity of God can heal.’’ Immediately upon receiving the news of the death of the General, the President directed that the flag on

Grxat expired tn» norainr a.s peacetuil'y and yaialessiy a- a tsared child might drop into a qtdet sleep, itoithceaid hardly ceuie to any mas in ferm rreer ftwnt terror than it came to hits.

His three phvsiciars, sr wa to aim more Ute near personal friends than mere professional attendants, stood a little back from’ the family group. The devoted Harrison leaned dejeetevtly by the doe*, and Henry, the nurse, sat in a distant corner. The little grandchildren ha-.t not been etoed and were fas: asleep tu their beds. It was eight minutes past eight by the clock. It was Dr. Shrady wte first spoke aft.r the soul had tak.n its flight. Seeing the buttering breath had ceased to come, he bent his head and said: 'At last.* Dr. Douglas—haggard-worn with anxiety—chokingly lutirmuted; 'A 1 is over.* There was a silence for several moments, broken occasionally by a subdued sob. as th: family bent their heads with handkerchiefs to their eyes. There were no excess ve demonstrations of grief. The event had been so lone hanging over the heads of al! as inevitable that its advent was calmly received. No one who had witnessed thedesd man's lona agony could wish to see it hopelessly prolonged. Of all, none was calmer than Mrs. Grant, though it was ferred she would be most prostrated. She wept but little, snd soon raised her head and wslked quietly, escorted by Dr Newman, to the sots. Then the physicians and the family crept one by one from the room, and the end of Grant's brave struggle for Ute had indeed come at last. '1 he General's death was, as it had been i redicted by his physicians it would be, through sheer exhaustion. When he died he weighed much less than oue hundred pounds—a mere skeleton. The moments he was conscious during this last relapse he knew that death was near at hand, but he did not fear it in the least. He had not, in tact, from the firstashown anv dread ot death, his only a; prehension being that the end would be accompanied t y extreme pain. His doctor assured him that he should no. suffer, and thereby took measures that he did not. His dissolution was absolutely painless. From midnight until the momert of his death he never made a motion, except in opening his. eves and in now and then faintly stirring his lips, when moisture was applied to them. The Associated Press reporter at Mount MacGregor telegraphs an interesting chat he had with Dr. Douglas the day after Gen. Grant's death. “I am going to tell you of an experience I had with Gen. Granton the afternoon of Thursday, July 16. During the afternoon of that day the General wrote this,” and Dr. Douglas drew from his pocket several slips written by the General, and read what the General had written, which was as follows: I feel sorry at the prospect of living through the summer and fall in the condition I am in. I do not think 1 can. but 1 may. Except that 1 do not gather strength, I feel quite as well from day to day as I have none heretofore. But Jam losing strength. I feel it more in the inability to move around than in hny other way. or rather in the lack of desire to try to move. When ho had read that. Dr. Douglas said that he turned to the General and tried to cheer him by telling him of the apparent improved condition of his throat and neck, to which in reply the General again wrote: After all that, however, the disease is still there, and must be fatal in the end. My life is precious, ot' course, to jny family, aqd would bo to me it I could recover entirely. There never was one more willing to go than I. I know most people have first one and then another little thing to tlx up, and never get quite through. This was partially my case. I first wanted so many days to work on my book, so the authorship would be clearly mine. It was graciously granted to me. after being apparently much lower than since. My work has been done so hastily that much was left out, and I did it all over, from tho crossing of the James River, in 18U+, to Appomattox, in 18C>5. Since that I have added as much as fifty pages, I should think. There is nothing more t<> do, and therefore I am not likely to be more ready to go than at this moment. It is now considered probable that the administration will decide to throw open the Oklahoma territory to white settlers.

Hancock, met in conference at the City Hall in New York, and. afterward visited Central i'ark to view tho proposed sites for Gen. Grant's sepulture. Tho New York Legislature has been invited to meet at Albany Aug. 4, to take action respecting Gen. Grant's death. There is mueh feeling against the proposed interring of the dead hero in Central I'ark. From all classes, except perhaps tho less thoughtful of the people of New York, who seem willing to have the great General's grave in their leading park as an additional attraction to a publie show, come tho same expressions of a belief that some other point should be chosen." A Philadelphia dispatch, says: "The uprising all over tho country which has been caused by the seleetlou of Central' Dark as the resting-place for Gen. Grant finds considerable vent in this city, whore resides the dead hero's most intimate friend, Mr. Georg® W. Childs, who is in constant receipt of letters and telegrams from public and private citizens voicing their disappointment al tho course proposed. Though no appeal can bo made to the family. Mr. Childs and tho other friends of tho ex-Dresident in. Philadelphia are decided in their convictions that tho remains belong to the nation and should repose in one of the national burying grounds, like Washington or West Point.”
