GENERAL GRANT.

of His Life in and Pencil.

THE NATION'S HERO.

Story of the Great Warrior's itary Career.

PETERSBURG.

"I wtil have Petersburg secured if pos» sible," Grant had telegraphed Lincoln. He indeed got his anny south of the Potomac before a move was made to defend the town. June 15th the Federal forces stormed Petersburg. The outer works were taken. But some of Grant's subordinates hesitated, delayed, and the day was lost. Lee seized upon the town, and as usual threw up the earth intrenchments and filled tbem with his best troops, and presented "a powerful fortress iu face of the foe." The opportunity was lost. The assault was continued some time with tremendous losses. But on the 18th Grant said: ''All has been done that could be done. Now we will rest the men and use the spade for their protection till anew vein con be struck."

So once more the army of the Potomac went to "fighting with the spadq." Grant was obliged to extend his liues still farther to the south. The "new vein" the General struck was to get possession of the Weldon railroad. Lee's supplies came by way of this and of the Southside roads. Those roads takes, thee the Confederate army would be surely starved out.,..

For the possession of these Grant struggled more than three-quarters of a year. Had he not said: "I shall take no Dacicward steps"? Ho got possession of the Weldon road first. What then? Once mora the eternal earthworks to the south. Cold weather came, and the soldiers built log huts and went into them, with Grant's headquarters still at City Point. Winter wore away in seemingfr stupid inactivity beforo Richmond. The nation grew weary. The only gleam of hope it had had for more than half a year had been the fall of Atlanta, Sept. 2,18&L Then the people clamored, "Sherman is the only victorious general, the man to load our armies. Give us Sherman."

GRANT AND SHERMAN.

Tot the fall of Atlanta was only apart of the grand plan Grant himself had made. Sherman ended the task Grant had laid out in the west. War is terrible enough at its best, yet in looking back over our great contest this perfect and abiding friendship of Grant and Sherman gilds one part of the retrospect with perfect light. Both had enemies not a few on their own side of the line both had been abused and slandered without end, in that amiable way American journalists have of treating their great men. Able writers had even gone to the extent of reporting that one of our greatest generals was an inebriate, the other a lunatic. At this it is rumored that Sherman laughed and remarked: "Grant stood by me when I was crazy, and I'll stand by him when he's drunk

From tho beginning of the war to the end they worked into each other's hands. B» tween the two large souls there was not a thought of jealousy or enyy. When Grant was appointed commander-in-chief Sherman heard the news in sober silence at first, in Grant's presence. Then he said to his fast friend: "I cannot congratulate you. The responsibility is too great."

In January, 1SC5, after the triumphant march to the sea, once more a strong feeling in favor of Sherman arose. Again there were those who said he ought to have been the head. Sherman heard of it and wrote to Grant: "I have been told that congress meditates a bill to make a lieutenant generalcy for mo. I have written to John Sherman to stop it. It would bo mischievous, for there are enough rascals who would try to sow differences between us, whereas you and I are now in perfect understanding. I would rather have you in command than anybody else, for you are fair, honest, aud have at heart the same purpose that should animate all. I should emphatically decline any commission calculated to bring us into rivalry. "doubt if men in congress fully realize that you and I are honest in our professions of want of ambition."

Probably it would be rather hard for "men in congress" to realize how a public officer of any kind could be wanting in ambition.

Grant wrote back: "I have received your very kind letter. If you should be placed in my position, and I put subordinate, it would not change our relations in tho least. I would make the same exertions to support you that you have ever done to support me, and I would do all in my power to make our cause win."

And once more the faithful Sherman replies: "I am fully aware of your friendly reeling towards me, and you may always depend upon me as your steadfast supporter. Your wish is law and gospel to me, and such is the feeling that pervades my anuy.'^ g.

7 NEARING THE END. •*. On the north side a threefold liuc of fortifications defended Richmond. That was the side which Grant never besieged. A curious fact about these fortifications is that they were built by slave labor. In the first part of the war every ownci in the vicinity had been forced to funiish a quota of a third £o a sixth of all his slaves for the work.

In the autumn Grant had re-enforced his army again. A draft of 500,000 men had been ordered. The middle of September he wrote: "We ought- to have the whole number of men called for by the president in the shortest possible time Prompt action in filling up our armies will ha-Ce more effect upon the enemy than a victory. The enforcement of the draft and the prompt filling up of our armies will save the shedding of blood to an immense extent."

He hesitated at nothing which would further the end in view—the stamping out of the rebellion. Men must be had, dr%ft or no draft.

Ttt9 tau or AtiantiTinfusea a more hopeful spirit into the northern people. The men called for by the draft were obtained without difficulty.

The forces lay in front of Richmond, apparently doing nothing. Except two or three indecisive small fights, nothing seemed to be done during the winter. What was Grant about? Yet at this time, when he seemed most inactive, he said, one day, to a foreign officer:

I feel as sure of capturing Richmond as 1 do of dying."

GRANT AND LINCOLN. S

Hero also to that historic leg cabin came frequently one greater than all—Lincoln, the martyr president—he whose great, gentle heart bore charity for all, with malice towards none. He spent weeks altogether at the headquarters during that fateful year. Between him and Grant there was full understanding and warm feeling. Grant said that in the course of this familiar acquaintance he had come to regard Lincoln as by far the greatest man who had occupied the presidential chair uince Washington. Lincoln liked to unburden his anxious soul to the general he had chosen. In that troubled time he was urged to remove Grant and appoint somebody wnu bad dash and would hasten matters.

quaint phrase, Lincoln answered only: "It's a bad plan to swap horses in the middle of a liver."

The plunness of dress of both these historic Americans harmonized. In Febrtiary, 1865, Grant w«int to see Lincoln at Washington. While there he called at the capitol and paid his respects to the senate in session. That solemn body was not a little scandalized by the carelessness of his attire. So much was this the caio that after ho had gone one of the senators actually arose and asked the consideration of the senate on the matter. "It is evident," said this fine-spun serator, "that gross mistake has boon made in appointing Grant lieutenant general. I tell you, there isn't a second lieutenant of the Home Guard in my state that does not cut a bigger swell than this man who has just left our presence."

THE WILDERNESS.

"J purpose to fight it out on this line if it takes ail Summer. Grant had bean appointed commander-in-chief of all the armies of the United States, east, west, north and south. This meant that he was at the head of an army of nearly a million men. It had been gathered up by four years of education and. development of the energies of the north. About 700,000 were actually available for service. Of all these Grant from his headquarters was to direct the movements. Sherman had succeeded him in the west at Chattanooga with the fine army with which Grant had won his victories hitherto. Grt.nt himself took personal command of the army of the Potomac, tho forces that were to move against Richmond. May 4, 1864, this army, under their uew commander, marched out of Washington, with their laces to the foe, 150,000 strong. "It wtis an army," says Lawrence, "that has scarcely been surpassed in efficiency by that of any commander in history." Grant was not an accident any more than the trained army h« led was. The military genius that was in him bad been naturally developed by his four years' experience of war. "Advancement came to him slowly» naturally and regularly."

The plan of his Richmond campaign was* to gradually close in on and worry and starve out Lee's army. At the outset, in the Wilderness, the Confederate general struck him a severe blow. He recovered and pushed on to Spottsylvania.

His idea was not to drive Lee into Richmond, but to keep him out of it. He said: "It will be better to keep the enemy out of tjie intrenchments of Richmond than to have them go back there." He gave orders meantime for Sheridan to keep the Valley of Virginia a barren waste till the end of the war. It was there Lee drew much of his army supplies. To permit Sheridan to do this, Grant meant to keep the army of Lee constantly engaged and worried at the front, so that none could be spared to go against Sheridan.

Before Spottsylvania the general sent this dispatch back to Washington: "The enemy hold our front in very strong force, and evince. a strong determination to interpose between us and Richmond to the last. I shall take no backward steps. We can maintain ourselves at least, and in the end beat Lee's army, I believe. "Send to Belle Plain all the infantry you can rake and scrape. With present position of the armie3,10,000 men can be spared from the defences of Washington, besides all the troops that have reached there since Burnside's departure. Some may also be brought frt)m Wallace's department. We want no more wagons or artillery. "U. S. GRANT, Lieutenant General."

It is characteristic. No society soldiers were left dawdling about Washington after Grant took hold. Every man he could "rake and scrape" was forced to go on duty. At no time does the general appeal- to have worried himself greatly about the safety of the noble army of office holders in Washington.

At Spottsylvania there was another bloody fight between Federal and Confederate. Grant sought here to turn the enemy's flank on the road to Richmond. He failed to do so. Apparently ho gained no advantage. But after that encounter he sat down and wrote with compressed lips that dispatch which has become historic: "I purpose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer."

It was af' Spottsylvania that Gen. Hancock made one of his most famous .and brilliant charges.

Only

stopping to take time to pull

his army into fighting trim Grant pushed on to North Anna. He was stopped again by the skillful movements of Lee. The man whom nothing could discourage changed his direction again and marched his army tc Cold Harbor. Lee was already intrenched there in readiness. Grant made an assault on his works. It was unsuccessful. The reader who remembers the newspapers of the time will recall that wise editors made sometimes this remark: "Grant does not know when he is whipped." Some, too, who had yet faith in him, quoted a saying of the General's wifa on one occasion early in the war. That saying, along with ... many oi tier husband's, has also become historic. Said sap "Mr. Grant is very obstinate

THE SILENT SOLDIER. WJ

He was as calm as Washington. Without his doing much during that winter, without his saying more than was necessary, the people began at last to feel confidence in him. In November, 1864, the General visited New York

traveled thither by stage*eosfefa, in the days "nwrteo many mer aire uicr'^w

school in New Jersey. Through all his career

Grant has been passionately attached to his children. It could not help being noised about that the General at the armies of the United States was present wherever he traveled. To those who asked faim of the war he said simply that the end. was not far off. The valley of the Shenandoalvwas a barren waste. In the nature of things,. lee's army most soon be starved out. "The Confederacy was a hollow shell, which Sherman was about to penetrate. Old men and boys were pressed into the Confederate ranks, The cr«dle and the grave had bean rebbed to repair the losses in the Wildernaas and in the western campaigns."

The tide of popularity* had so turned in his favor that his journey to New Jersey and back was one triumph* as if victory had already

"FINISH THIS THING.-

Shendan and Sherman were Grant's favor ite generals. The unpardonable military sin ir his eyes was slowness. These two could catcl apian and carry it out with lightning-like dash and boldness. They could plan foi themselves, as well, and then off with a whirl anil a sweep to execute Before slower men could get a movement through their heads, with these two—lo! the thing was done.

To Sheridan, therefore, Grant intrusted the work of starting the movement which was tc ''finish this thing." The task was a welcome one. "It is to be hoped," said Grant to Secretary Stanton, "that we will have no use for more men than we have now, but the number must be kept up."

He insisted on that to the very end.

i*8"

-A FIVE FORKS

Was the beginning of the end.- It was fought April 1, 1865, and was one of the most brilliant and bloody engagements of the war. In this fight Sheridan displayed his characteristic qualities. Ho was as mad with battle-rage as the god of war himself. In the midst of the fight one of his divisions wavered and broke' momentarily. Tneir color-bearer was shot and killed, and their flag had fallen. Sheridan snatched: it up in his own' hands, and plunged into the fight at the head of the faltering men. After that he flew about like incarnate thunder and lightning. He raged and shook his fist and his Bword by turns at them he drove men who had been wounded back into the froint rank. He capped the climax of his rage by then and there relieving Gen. Warren of his command upon the field of battle. But he restored order, and gained the day.

Back at Dabney's saw-mill. Grant, wrapped in his blue overcoat, waited for news of the fight. Day wore on into darkness, and the hours advanced towards midnight. Suddenly the general heard the cheers of the camp through the darkness. He and the two oi throe staff officers with him knew what the chers meant. An aide-de-camp rode up and begun to tell of the victory. Another followed him, Colonel Horace Porter, riding

when he was a student at West Point. He that great day refemd to bis bratu*went now to see his cluMrenwho were at -^eaot yet heard

w«n. ISuorowas crowds gath-

ered an'd cheered him wherever he appeared. In Philadelphia, after an impromptu reception in Independence Hall, ho was taken by a private exit to a carriaga. But the friendly mob pressed around, him and broke the carriage windows open to have the privilege of seeing Grant. Frcm one mouth to another the country over ran® the words: "At last we have found the man able to end tho war."

Liko President Lincoln months bofore, they, too,.at length "began to see it." On his way back to camp Grant stopped at Washington. He was preparing to throw oft all side weights for the final struggle. To. this end he called at the war office and recommended the mustering out of service of 38 ornamental generals. Thoy were mostly brigadiers, but some major generals were among the lot. To let them down easy, he rocom* mended that numbers of them ba permitted to resign. The president reminded him that some of these were his own personal friends. Grant knew that, but he only replied: "I am satisfied the good of the service will be advanced by their withdrawal."

The winter wore away. Sherman marefced to the sea, annihilating, as he went, like the spirit of destruction. Crops, roads, arsenals and factories disappeared in his track aa if visited by a tornado. The Confederacy was able to draw no more supplies from that quarter. Fort Fisher had been captured as well, and. Thomas had destroyed Hood's army. The fabric Jefferson Davis had built on paper was trembling upon its foundations. Meantime Grant iiad been silently creeping like a mole with his earthworks, towards tin Southside railroad. At last the commandei saw that his time was ripe. At the end ot^ March, 1863, he dispatched to Sheridan. "J wish to

Then he turned to the jyroup of officers and said, calm as a May morning: "I have ordered an immediate asaalt along the lines."

The next move was to s/vid the favorable word to President Lincoln. Ho had nome down to City Point, and, with his soul fiul of anxiety, was waiting for news cf the day, good or bad.

Only one hope now remained to Lee. That was to escape by rapid retreat and join Gen. Johnston. The two armies together might still offer a formidable front to the Federal forces. This movement Grant had prepared to anticipate. Ho hurried re-enforcements forward to Sheridan, with directions vo hold Lee's army at all hazards till the rest should come up. To the flerv little cavalry commander himself he sent word: "An'attack is ordered at 4 in the morning at three points on the Petersburg front." To prevent Lee from breaking through Sheridan's lines and escaping south, however, a furious bombardment was begun before midnight and continued.

THE SOUTHSIDE RAILROAD AT LAST I The "Immediate assault along the lines" was ordered for 4 o'clock Sunday, April 2. Between 8 and that morning the General telegraphed the waiting president: "Wright has gone through the enemy's line, and now has a regiment tearing up the track on the Southside railroad."

Grant had got the Southside railroad at last! The hour had come, and he knew It. He telegraphed the officer at City Point: "Make no more deliveries of rebel prisoners while the battle is going on."

Los ANGIXBS, Oal. A$ril 7.—[Editor ^jfcZETTE]—I will write- you a small sketch of this part of world as I ftave a great many friends in Terre Haute and vicinity, especially about my aid home in Prairie Creek township, that would like to known something about this land of Paradise. I muBt say that there hes not fosen any exagerating of the place in the newspapers sentr there from here as I donot think they? have given praise enough of this lovelyr spot. I had a splendid trip over th Rocky Mountains. Harshall pass said to be 12,000 fe.i& above the sea level. Utah Valley i» a lovely place also Salt Lake City, Mid the Sierra Ne-^ vada mountains are magnificent Bnfe the finest scenery of, all is after you arrive in this city and see the lovely* flowers all in bloom* and the rich oranget fruit on the trees. 3 had the pleasure of staying all night with Ben Harbert. He has a beautiful, zanche. His peaches and appiicots are sow as large as a quail egg and all other fruits in bloom and his orange aad lemon trees areloaded with golden.fruit. Vegetables of every description are in market. Fine, strawberries are K5 cents per box. I also met Prof. Cfeeenwalt. He accompanied me arouad the city and gave mer all tbe information required. Business, here appears to- aao to be very brisk* but the business men say it is dull. Of ^|ourse people ean not come here and! nnd money growing on the trees, but they can coin© here and with a littlemoney can invest in a very profitably business and make a good living.

k:-A BAKING POWDER TRICK. All kinds of schemes and tricks are resorted to by unprincipled people 1* obtain unfair advantages over their neighbors. The latest and most dishonest of those that has come to our notice is one by which certain manufacturers of baking powder have sought to prejudice consumers against the use of other brands that have an established reputation as the best and purest in thei market, for the purpose of introducing their own.- Their method, we are in-|l formed, is to heat a can of baking powder of a well-known brand over a lamp or stove, when, if there is a gas given off

Aside from this, the best test for a baking powder is to try it in making bread, and see which makes the most and best. To this practical test all the established brands have been put, and housekeepers have very generally made up their minds which they prefer, and the tricksters will find ultimately that a brand that has been a household favorite for years will not be displaced by reason of any tricks which. they may show.
