Tliu Quincy (111,) Whig rclatea tho following :
In coiineotiun wilh the issuing of tho procla
mation of amnesty, thcro may ho itatcd one
fact, which U well known in thia city, ami
which it would pcrlmp now be proper to place
upon record as giving a view of n pari ul' the
secret history of tho war, and .ImwioK to those
who only me tho outside phaaea of passing
events what nrcoautiona our noble President
take) to keep liiunelf informed of the atntu of
feeling at the South, and how carefully every
measure Is considered and tested beforo tin
adoption. i
About tho 10th of Juno last. Col. James 8.
Jaiiiics., of the 73d Illinois, a personal friend
of President Lincoln'., was detailed by liim
with, the advice and consent of Gen. Rose
crune, to proceed to Richmond ou acoret ser
vice, tho object being to ascertain, by mingling
with all olaanea of rebels, how nearly the rot
ten Confederacy was ready for tho great col
lupse. by a p roller of general amnesty. The
aiunesly then contemplated, included, with
what was recently offered, also to guarantee to
the Icadora (unprovided for in the Ute proclu
miUioii) acourity to their lives, ou condition nf
tlie confiscation, of their properly and porpet-'
ual disfranchisement, or banishment, or both.
Col. Jaque.a entered upon the duty with en
thusiasm, as be heartily t.ivored the plan, and
believed that the time for such a proclamation
was near at band. He proceeded to Washing
ton and received hii instructions and embarked
upon bis perilous journey.. Ho was gono more
than three months. Where be went and what
he did, we have never learned, but from con
versations with him we inferred that the result
of hia investigations had convinced him and
tho Government that tho uieasuro would be
proper at an early day. , ,
Alter spending a few daya at his borne in
thia city, he returned to his regiment, arriving
just in time to lead it through the battle of
Chieltatnauga. where one-halt' of hia men were
killed or wounded. Tho disastrous result of
this battle, by the temporary encouragemuiit
which it gave to tho rebels, probuhly delayed
the issuiug of the proclamation until a redeem
ing victory, like that of Chattanooga, should
ugain pluce the odds in our favor.
Tim Rba', Condition of tub Confbdkr
acy. Tho full and accurate digest wo nrint of
tho dieoussiona in the Southern papers reveala
the real condition of the South. The mad rad
icalism of the rebel Consresa, the fierce denun
ciation of their measures by the papera atill
professing to adhere to tho rebellion, and the
frequent threat! of counter-revolution and a
ficacu movement nnlesa the Congress will do
letter, are facta the significance ol which can
not bo mistaken. The obvious fact is that the
warcunuot goon without just audi despotic
use uf the meu aud menus of the Sooth as the
Congress proposes, aud if the rebel papers are
right iu supposing that the people are not will
ing to he sacrificed, then the collapse of the
rcbelliou is close at hand. The conviction, if
not already geueral iu the South, ia spreading
and deepening, that the rebellion ia a failure,
and that the Duiou ia ccrtaiu to be maintained
at last, however long tho struggle may bo pro
tracted. With such a certainty beforo tlietn,
the Southern people will uot by any means
buck up the determination of their leader, to
sacrifice "the last man aud the last dollar."
The spirit of the rebel prraa furnishea much
moro reliable indioationa of the real state of
ullairs tliau anything we get from contrabands.
reiugeee, auu aeserters. ilul tlie testimony of
all who now come from the South confirms tho
general conviction. A printer who has juat
readied Washington from Richmond thinks
the rebel lenders ure making great exertions tu
fill up their ur lilies, und will get a great many
men, such us they arc, by the general conscrip
tion; ho believes too that they will consent to
an exchange nf prisnuers in order to get their
men to put iu the field in tlie spring ; never
theless a universal feeling of terror and do-
spuudency pervades tho Suulli, aud it ia with
uilliculty tlie rebel government can stem the
current of popular feeling setting against it.
a ingitive plainer iron) central V ugmia rayi
that a majority of the people iu his aeotiou of
tho State would Tote fur a return to tlie Union
if they had tho chance; that the leaders pri
rateJy admit there ia little hope of sucoess. aud
that in h a oniuion one campaign will wind up
on the rebellion. These signs of the approach

lute the Oovornineut to vigoroua action, that it

Gf.n. Grant and His Life in Missouri
I hare been profoundly interested in studying
the history ol General Grant while a resident
of til. Louia and county. All of our readers
know that the Daily W'ucotuin has had few
lovontes in una war. , Une of these ia Gen.
Grant, whuni it baa never deserted, aud whom
it sustained with nit unfaltering trust when ao
many others condemned him. This man has
rendered such inestimable services to his coun
try that I have been tracing his early aud mod
est history here with an interest I have rarely
icii iu any snnjeci. aix years ago, lien, liraul
occupied a little farm to the southwest of St.
Louis, where he was in the habit of cutting the
wood and drawing it to Carundelet and selling
it in the market there? Many of his wood Dur-
chasera are now calling to mind that they hud
a cord of wood delivered iu pcreou by the great
General Grant. When he cume into the wood
market, he was usually dressed iu an old felt
hut, with a blouse cout, mnl his pants tucked
iu the tons of hia boots, in truth, he lioro the
appearance of a aturdy and honest woodman.
1 his was Ins usual winter s work. In the sum.
mer, he turned collector of debts ; but for this
he vtns not qualified. He had a noble aud
truthful soul; so, when he was told that the
debtor had no money, he believed him, aud
would not trouble the debtor again. Une of
the leading merchants uf St. Louia mentiuued
Ihia circumstanco to uie. From all I can learu
of h e history here, be was honest, trothful, in-
ueiittiguuie always at worK at something; but
he did not possess the knock of making money.
He was houorubie, for he always repaid bor
rowed money. His habits of lilo were hardy,
inexpensive, and simple. About bis being an
iuehnate, 1 find nothing to confirm it. On a
cold day, when he brought a load of wood to
the Carundelet market, he would take some
thing tu keep himself warm. This, so far aa I
can trace, is tho foundation nf many reports of
ins ...eurieiy. or. tyimt Uirrespondenet of
the Miltcauket lf'iironta.
Thia ia very interesting aa aa evidence to
Europe aud tlie arialocralio South of oar true
democracy. The lickspittles who upheld 'Lit
tle Mac' made, aa the heaviest charge against
"Fighting Joe," tlie statement that, in Calilor-
nia lie (Joseph) had been a "wagoner." And
they would hit their hands in holy horror at the
thought of the Army of the Potomao being mi
commanded. H if ires' .Spirit.

taken part in tho rebellion, are accepting, and

Srociaiiiaiiou, as sonteiiiiiig as liberal as could
expeckd under the circumstances, the cop
perhead members of Congress meet and resolve,
"that the President's Proclamation of the 8th
of December, r?tki, is ounise, inexpedient, rev
olutionary and unconstitutional, and la there
fore disapproved."

A distinguished American writer say! of
Abraham Lincoln : m " ( ' "
"Little did the Convention that nominated
Abtahain Linonlu for President know what
they were doing. Little did the honest, fa,
Iherly, pntriotio man, who stood in bis simplic
ity on the platform at Springfield, asking tho
prnyers nf his townstnon and receiving their
Pledges to remember li I in. Inrcseo now nvrltilly
lie was to need thoso prayers, the prayers of nil
this nation, and tho prayers of all the working,
atitfering common people throughout tho world.
God'a hand was upon him with a viiiblonro
teolion, saving him first from the danger of as
sassination at Haltitnore anil bringing hitn
safely to our national oapitul. " Then the world
have seen and wondered at the greatest sign
marvel of onr day, to wit, a plain working man
of the people, wilh no more culture, Instruc
tion, or education than any snch working man
may obtain for himself, called on to onnduet the
passage of a great people through a crisis in
volving the destinies of the whole world. The
eyes nf princes, nobloi, aristocrats, nf dukes,
earls, scholars, statesmen, warriors, all turned
on the plain backwoodsman, with hia simple
sense, his Imperturbable simplicity,, hit deter
mined self-reliance, his Impracticable and in
corruptible honesty, as ho ant amid tho war of
contliotlng elements with unpretending steadi
ness striving to guide the national shin through
"tsv-uhannel at whose perils the world's oldoot
statesmen stood agiiast. '1 lie brilliant courts
of Europe leveled their opera glasses at the
phenomenon. ' Fair Indies saw that he had
horny hands and disdained white gloves.
Dapper diplomatists were shocked at his ays
tern of etiquette, but old stutesmun, who knew
tho terrors of that passage, vroro wiser than
oourt Indies or dandy diplomatists, and watched
mm with a reanul curiosity, simply asking,
"Will that awkward old baokwoudsman really
gut that ship through? 'If ho does, it will be
time tor us to look about ns." '
Sooth to say, our own politicians wire some
what shocked with his slate papers at first.
Why not let us make them n little more con
ventional, and file them to a classical pattern?
"No," was his reply, "I shall writo thorn my
self. The people will understand them." t'Hut
this or that form of expression ia not elegant,
not olusnioal." "The poople will understand
it," has been his Invariable reply. And what
ever may be said of his state papers as com
pared with tho classic standards, it has been a
fact that they havo always been wonderfully
well understood by the people, and that since
the time of Washington the state papers of no
President have moro controlled the popular
mind. And one reason for this is, that tlioy
have been informal nnd undiplomatic. They
havo more resembled a father's talk to bis chil
dren than state papers. And they have hnd
that relish and smack of tho roul, that appeal
to the simple human heart nnd bend, winch is
a greater power in writing than the most nrt
fuldevioes of rhetoric Lincoln might well say
with the apostle, "Hut though I be rude in
speech, yet not in knowledge, but wo have
been thoroughly mudo manifest among you in
all things." His rejection of what ia called
fine writing waa as deliberate as St. Paul's,
and for the same reason because ha felt that
he was speaking on a suhjeot which must be
mudo clear to the lowest intelleot, though It
should fail to captivate the highest."
ODDS AND ENDS.
A patriotic old lady recently sent three
smoking caps ns presents to olhcers in the
Army of tho Potomac One waa for Gen.
Meade, and the rem jning two she desired o
be presented to two generals, una of whom

never indulged in profanity. Gen. Williams,
Chief of Gen. Meade's Stair, took the auti-pro-fuuity
cup. and Gen. Hunt tho tempernnoeoap.

"A Fkw Facts." Under this head the
Richmond Whig nf a receut date presents the
following facts Illustrative of ihe rebel condi
tion. Three llimtsnnd men In Longstreet's
corps are luireloot ; Johnston's army ia suffer
ing terribly for want nf blankets and clothing ;
Leo's soldiers are destitute of socks and other
necessary clothing ; and the whole energies of
the Confederacy are summoned to supply the
demand ; the prospect for clothing next year is
dark and gloomy ; it cannot be got through the
Blockade, and there are on materlnla in the
home market. The eon roes both nf leather and
wool are diminishing every month ; the supply
' of food Is equally scant) very little bacon is
' I' fl ; beef ia going, and muttnn would not feed
' great armies, even il it could be had ! the crops
failing, and prices constantly going op ; besides,
' there I no lalwir, without wnieh there ean bi no
' production ; the oonecription is taking ta the
ranks all the whites, aud Ihe negrj will not
work. F.ven if he would, he could jot prevent
famine, which would bring insurrection with it.
Then, without crops, hones oaunoi bo fed, and
an army witho .t horses ia a man without limbs.
Even now, horses sufficient to serre Ihe purnuse
of the existing army are obtained with greatest
difficulty, so that it ia utterly Impossible, tu
double the army and Increase the trains, as
Mime extravagantly talk of doing ; atill further,
' besides wagons and trains, muikelt. cannon, and
I aitimniiitinn must be had, and tliwe it is not pus
i sible to proenre. There is now only a bare
! sufficiency of tnnskets and cannon to supply
I present needs, and as to ammunition, since
Charleston and Wilmington have been closed,
! ,llu nitre beds of Tennessee torn from the
'el"! grasp, the supply can never be mora than
I equal tu the demands ol the present army.

now in Paris, ohlainiug audicnoe of th French
Emperor. To those who know hia dissimulat
ing, scheming, and unprincipled career, little
doubt will remain of bi entertaining some
Benedict Arnold scheme to betray hit country,

tttlion of a prophet, by expressing II as hi be

at the very time he uttered tin affected warn
