Maarir M.—New* was re

ceived to-day of the destruction by fire of. the entire, business portion of Samana, Santo Domingo, on the 9th inst. Estimated loss $150,000. The fixe covered a space of about six acres. As there was no insurance, nearly all the merchants are ruined, and the poor would be on the verge of starvation were it not that the country around Samana abounds in fruit upon which ail are subsisting. The most die graceful scenes of pillage followed the fire. The custom house is damaged by the conflagration. It is said the pillagers of the place quarreled over the distribution of the booty, and several of them were killed in a fight that followed. A servant of J. G. Borch lighted afire in the kitchen, and feeling sleepy, went to bed. A high wind started some of the burning embers, and in a short space of time the building and those adjoining were on fire. The fire burned with great fierceness and the flames leaped across the street and swept everything away to the custom house. In the custom house was stored a large quantity of tobacco ready for shipment, but it was all destroyed. The custom house stopped the further progress of the fire. Only the stores of Grullon & Fonden and G. Reves are left.

"WHO IS GENERAL GRANTT'

The Que«tIoii Aiuwcrvd by Chark* A. -fi liaaa, sf the New lark Man. Washington National Republican.

Charles A. Dana aaks this important uestion of a recent date. Ho asks it in csc terms If we elect Ulysses 8. Grant President of the United States, and thereby make him Commander-in-Chief of the army and navy,

who ia the man in whotn toe re-

pose this great trust

It must not be forgotten that General Grant while President refused to give Mr Dana a lucrative office at least so the story goes, and it is undoubtedly true. Inasmuch as that disappointment nas either impaired Mr Dana's memory or changed his opinion, it may not be

mat uproot

to settle this very important question, "Who is Ulysses 8. Grant?" by quoting the opinions of Mr Dana himself before he bccame soured by disappointment. He says:

Great soldier, sincere patriot, and nat urally astute statesman.—Dana's Life of Grant, preface.

It is not strange that the offspring of such parents should be virtuous, honest and truthful.—Dana's Life of Grant, 19. was then, as now, cheerful, amiable, good-natured and tenderhearted to a degree rarely attained by men.—Id. page 28.

PTc

Fortunately, In this emergency, he displayed that profound knowledge of character for which he has since become so justly distinguished.—Id. page 47.

From the time of the surrender down through the entire period under consideration, his official intercourse with the Southern population of all classes was that of an urbane magistrate rather than a soldier clothed with supreme powers.— Id., page 880.

But the dispassionate pen of history will record that in the face of these severe provocations, and spite of these barrassing difficulties, he bore himself with exemplary caution, patience and urbanity, and performed his high duties with extraordinary ability, vigor and success. Suffice it to say that, during these five eventful months, he filled bow his offices

(Secretary of War and General-in-Chief) to the measure of the expectations of is most sanguine friends.—Id., page

Upon all such subjects—in fact, upon all the vital questions of the day—he thinks carefully and profoundly, and expresses himself with great ease and good sense. His understanding is of that incisive character that soon probes a question to the bottom, no matter how much the politicians or newspapers mav labor to confuse it, while his judgment so de liberate, honest, and truthful in its operations that it may be implicitly relied upon to arrive at a fair and unbiased conclusion.—Id. page 405.

While so much will be freely admitted respecting his military genius and services, it is contended in some quarters that General Grant has given no evidence that he possesses statesman-like abilities In reply to this, it might be insisted that, to accomplish the great objects we have enumerated, it required something in ad dition to mere soldierly qualities, and that the tasks were of such a complex charac tor that their performance demanded the talents of a statesman not lew than those of a warrior.—Id. page 417

Grant is as unsuspicious aft a child, and as free from harmful intent but be i* stirred to the very depths of his nature by an act of inhumanity or brutality of any sort white meanness or ingratitude or uncharKablenem excites him to the display of the iivlieet indignation. He ia not. slow in the exhibition of contempt or disgust for whatever is unmanly M*uniP coming.—Id. page 4M.

Perhaps Mr Dana may be able to giein some information from these opinions of General Grant, which ran torn his own pen before he dipped it in the gall of disappointment* that will satisfy him "who is this man in whom we repose this great trustr f1* ——f—SPl 111!
