Tho ciM'rt'Sinn(U'nou between Goneriil Leo nnil Rcucirul Grant is now licinrii me, and I hitvr lii'ca much struck hy tho Immlwrititig of time two uliloal fieutirala tho war has hruulit ftirwnrd on cither sitle. General Loo'i hand nriling ii bold and rather still', li ia letters bit ing lurgu, round and vary distinct. Ilo heara heavily upon the pen probably a goose (jnill and abbreviates ninny of bis words as if writ ing were a labor to him. Tlio following is an exact transcript of tho first sentence in his let ter to General Grant! "General: I have read your letter of the 1 8th lust., uocmnp'g copies of letters from Judge Ould Cntinn'rof Exchange of l'ris'rs on the part nf tho Conf ale Htates Ac the lloub'l E. M. Stuntou Sec'y nf War Lt. Col. Mulford Asst Conitn'r of Exo. of tlio U. States." He does not, as yon perceive, punctuate closely i and nowhere in his letter dues he wrile oat tlio word "and," but invariably uses the abbreviation "4c." And yot be pauses lung enniigh to dot nil hit "i's" und cross all his "t's." All bis letters uro drawn nearly up mid down I lie paper; iu other words they are like himself, round, full, bold and npwiight, inclin ing neither to tlie right nor the left, and staud iiiK firmly ou their base, us if they disduiued all iimis, mice. They are so clear uud precise, so round, and weighty, and distinct, that each let ter reminds one uf a solid cannon ball, :tid each word of u cluster of grnpeshot. Geiierul Grunt's huudwritiiig.on the contrary, though not so bold and distinct, nor the letters so lurge nnd round and erect, is, nevertheless, very legible nnd very striking. It is full of en ergy and uctinii, and his letters ull incline to the right, and follow one after another with a little space between them as if they represented an equal number of his brigades ou a rapid mureli round Lee's right. Among cliinigraph ers his band would be called a running liund. The words occupy much spuco from left to right, nnd slill they are very clour ami legible, lie pays mure attention to punctuation than General Lee. abbreviates less, and is equally careful of his i's and t's. It may lie Ihe work of imagination, yet ir reading his letter I can not but picture the writer as u restless, nervous, energetic mun, full of tiro and action, always in milium, and always in a Lurry. savannah llepublican. Tub Uw Rivnit Campaiqn. Little by lit tle, the people are finding out who planned the expedilion up the lied River in March last, and who is to bo blamed for its failure. At first, tho whole blame was cast upon theshaulders of Mnj. Gen. Hunks, who, like it trjto soldier, did not seek to justify himself befure the public but waited until the publication of official doc uments could triumphantly vindicate him. Meanwhile, fact after met has found its wnr into print, and we now havo a curious article ou tlie subject, in the United Service Magazine nf the current month. The writer of this ar ticle, which has a somi-nQicial charautet, is rather disposed to find fuult with Gen. Banks, yet says : " Hut it is no less truo that Gon. Hanks did not originate this campaign ; that his views were opposed to it; thut lie wits neither di rectly nor indirectly interested in ootton specu lations or in trade of any kiuO ; that he shared with his troops the fatigue, the exposure, the privations of the campaign, and the dangers of battle. Gen. Hunks is not a great Generul ; but he is a man of great personal bravery , too apt, Indeed, to run into needless exposuro. Allll I It'" Slim that n-ilhi-e tfolJ flyr COtttllt, which is worst than gold, cau corrupt linn. lln thirst is not for money, but for power." Then the writer goes on to make this impor tant statement, ull the more important because it is known to be true: " That the campaign was planned in Washington it evident from the co-operation in its execution of troops f in three separate departments." It might liavo been added that Gen. ilullcclc not only lanne I the campaign, but that be directed it from his office at Washington, And that in the opinion of military men h is respotisilile for its failure. Iu time this will be proved, nnd then will Gen. Hunks be triumphantly vindicated. "Stand ijv the 1'lao." No lesson has been more severely taught, at diver- times, than the woo that betides the political party that even seems to be treacherous in times of wur. The suspicion 'hat the once powerful Federal putty was not sitiurely loyal in tlie w ur ol lal'-l. Inn led that putty beyond all possibility of res urrection. The opposition til' the Whig party to tha Mexican wnr, inuVfen-ililu uud unpro voked us thut wur was iu its inception, prepared Ihe way for tbe downfall uf that party and its final extinction. And now for a third time the lesson lias lieeu repealed. Tile falsely so-onllcd " Detnoerutiu " party, untaught by past ex perience, bus just ventured upon tlie fatal ex periment of crossing the wnr path uf its couu try, only to be iininiiii.ited. Two years ago, when pretending to lie advocates for a morn active management of the war, they obtained for the moment the confidence of the people, and swept the great States of New Yolk. IVuu sylrnuia, Obiu, Indiana and Illinois. Had liny retained them now with their 107 Iceland votes they would have had a majority of twenty seven iu the eleo oral o dlege. Happily for tlie country their seeming gurli of patriotism wus torn off in time lo expose the lurking tlenion of treurou within. I lie people, true to lueir na tural instincts, rallied round the truo standard. They refused to vote the war a failure. They refused to sue for a humiliating peace. These fire great .States which two years ago elected fifty-eight " Democrats " to forty-one Kepobli cans, have now chosen seventy-one liepubli c his to twenty -six Deuiocruts, and elected tho war electoral tioket by an aggregate majority nf more than one hundred and fifty thousand ! Will nut politicians heed this lesson. Boston Journal. An'eouotb of IIknry Clay. Mr. Clay was Speaker of the House of Representatives when he was retnincd hy the Governor of Kentucky to appear before the Supreme Court and main tain the rights of that State) against the pre tentions nf Virginia, in a long-contested suit growing out nf v hat was termed the "Occupy ing Laws." It was Irs first appearance befoie the tribunal in Inst resort, and a largo concourse of spectators was attracted by a uulural curi osity to determine whether tlie orator ol tlie West would bu aula to sustain nil UirIi reputa tion upon this new and untried theater. When be rote, it was with mine slight agitation of manlier, but he soon recovered bu wonted com posure, and held its audi tore in admiring at tentiiin, while he pronounced a most beautiful cnlogiura upon the character of the suns of Kentucky. The judges sat in their black robes of office, sedate and attentive. One of them, Judge Washington, (a nephew of tho Patrr Patnte.) was an inveterate snuff taker, and availed himself of a momentary pause in the argument to indulge himself with the titillating reilorutire.

The London Daily Telegraph publishes a selection of letters representing a mass, it says, it has received, alleging the possibility of Mid ler's innocence, uud gives the following speci men : II. R. writes : " Sir : I recollect some yenrs ago rending nn account af a trial for murder -J which took place in the reign uf Queen Eliza beth, nod the tollowiiig are the Inula as Dearly as I can remember; A laboring mun wus futind dead in a field, and close by him was a pitch- lurk, winch was nlentibed as belonging to an other laborer. The -proper-parties In those days ilium diutcly waited upou tlie laborer and asked him il ho had been in a certain Held on a certain day. He said, No. They searched his house uud found a pitchfork belonging to the demi man, with some stains of blood upon it.- Again they nuked him if ho hnd been iu he field, and ho gave tlie Same answer. They scan tied further, mid found some bloody clothes under his bed. He was put upon bis trial. i'ho case went tn tha jury ; they could not ngreo; llry came into Court, and tho Judge iok great pains to point out to them tho in-. ilispiitublu fuels, which I have no tloubt ho thought were sufficient to hang anybody, viz : he hinting ol the prisoner e pitclilork Dy Iho side of the dead mail, nnd ihe discovery of tho lead man s ptlchtork in the prisoner s homo, as well as the bloody clothes uuder the bed. 1 he evidence was sufficient lor eleven of tho jurymen, but the twelllh stood nut, and, nftor repeated attempts tn loroe the jory to au ad verse decision, they wero dismissed became they could not agree, nnd the man was acquit ted iu spito of such circumstantial evidence, apparently Ihe must conclusive. Sumo few years after Ibis trial the Judge went to the sumo oi reu it and dined with the obdurate juryman. lie tuked linn huwitwas that be was so ob stinate iu the case recited. The jury man re plied that if the Judgo would not tell anybody until alter Ins death he would explain tu him. This was agreed to, und the juryman confessed Hint he was Iho murderer. He said he found the man stealing clover in his field ; a sen 111 o ensued ; he stuck the murdered mail's fork into him, aud left linn dying. Ho went ou further to say thut tho accused was returning from bis work nurrlss Iho same field, and seeing the poor man iu a dying state, took htm np on Ins knee. untied his handkerchief, and did all lie could to euse and relieve him. While performing such n kind net, a thought probably came across this man's mind that if anybody should see him they might think he was the murderer. So Im ntly put the dying mun down und hurriedly ft him, by mistake taking up the wron; pilch- fork, and leaving his own behind. When the man got home he appears to hato thought of hia bloody clothes, which ho look off nnd hid them as slated. Ho finally told the lie which wuuld have been fntal had nut lite actual mur derer taken a de.nl of trouble to get himself oil the jury, and thereby tuiavoau innocent uiau's life.

Springfield Republican, Visit of British'Offioers to Grnkral - Grant's Ahmt. Two British officers, who served with high distinction in the Crimean war, one of them now commanding a regiment at Quebec having lately returned from a visit to our armies before Richmond, nave given most satisfactory reports of their observations. They speak of their visit to our armies as th most instructive In their military experience. The works of defonio and attack are regarded as couilruction of tha highest science, and ar -equal to any in the world. These officers were astonished al the achivoments of such vast and perfect military organizations by a people who, four yenrs ago, knew nothing of war. Th morale of the army, as ooinpared with that of European armies, was a matter of admiration. In l lime armies, when in tlie field, the camp follower! are mora nnmerous than soldiers, and drunkenness among th soldiort was an evil which nn precaution can prevent. They re marked that they saw nut a soldier under th inlluenoe of liquor, or place where liquor could be obtained. They conversed with th privato soldiers and found them not like Euro pean soldiers, more automatons, but intelligent as to the policy and plant of tho war. They were peculiarly impressed by the high tone ol the officers whom they regarded as comparing most favorably iu intelligence, culturo and courteousuess of manners, with those of th best European armies.
