Ye life of Ulysses 8; Grant, one of the greatest men Americ: ever produced. His name isso closely interwoven with the events of the Jas tory is almost a history of the country during that period. In.1860 be held the fitle of Captain, which was se Mexican war, bot was ans clerk: in his brother's } ‘Ha had failed as a fariner aud as real "estate agent, and was then indebted te relatives for position that would afford a living for himself and wife, ---.enown -to searcelyany one ia the _ city of his residence. He bad never interested himself in politics, and never voted but once. He spent his Ne otes, “nnd in prmawee hae 4 PP can war. “He was reluctantly given ‘a position bythe Governor of his State, at the earnest solicitation of two of his Galena friends. One year after, he was a generally recognized hero, In three years after\he was in command of a million soldiers, and was honored with the title of Lieut, General of the United States, -and im seven years ho was the general ‘choice of the people for President of the United States, to which position he was elected, and which he has since filled, and which he to-day will turn over to his successor, His wame.and his fame are known from the Occident to the Orient. ° History will aceord to him the praise he so justly deserves. While Washington — will always be known, asthe “Father of his Country,” Grant will be . equally entitled to the appellation of othe “Saviour of his Country.”’ It is ‘true he has not escaped calumny,and numbers tis enemies by scures, but that is one of the rewards of greatness. “No might nor greatness in mortality “Can censure ‘scape; back-wounding cal“The whitest yirte strikes.” {"™” The century has not produced a @reater man, and our Republic has never developed a character more truly American.

His ia ‘one ‘of the few, the immortal names that were not born to die.” -An Extra Session ef the Senste-~ Proclamation by the President. Wasurmeton, March 2.—President Grant has issued a proclamation, convening the Senate in extra session on the 6th inst., at nooa. The proclamation is as follows: The President of the United States ‘of America—Proclamation, Whereas, objects of interest to the United States require that the Senate ‘should be convened at 12 o’clook _ noon on the bth day of March next, toreceive and act upon sach communications as may by made to it by the Execative, Therefore I, Ulysses 8.

It was an outrage on decency to tolerate the thing as Jong as it has been done. _ Dex Ridley has some iauetiaien friend in the region of the summit, who ly sends him an invoice of small speckled treet, caught 2 Independence Lake. <e received a lot yesterday morning, and before this item reaches the eyes of our readers, a fine mess of hea will be steaming on the table of. our reporter, Independence trout = as pretty asa red gi oes We learn from Conduetor McKinEddy was insiantly killed in the Rising Sun mine, at Colfax, on Friday evening, The night shift was just ready to descend into the mine. The bucket came up loaded with ore and was emptied. Eddy got into it for the purpose of descending, and another man was in the act of doing so, when the cable parted and precipitated the deceased down the shaft to the five handred foot -level, where he was found, an unrecognizable mass of flesh and bones. One leg was found at the bottom of the shaft on the 800 foot level. From the same source we obtain the following: John Haffock, who lives some five miles below Colfax, started home last Friday evening. Waren about one mile from that town he was thrown from his horse and had his left leg broken just above t ankle, and lay in the road all night in the storm. He was found yesterday morning, about 8 o'clock, by a butcher, and taken to Colfax, where he now lies in a critical condition, Bars the last issue of the. Visalia Delta: The prospects for sheep and cattle owners in. this valley, and probably throughout the valley portions of the State, are truly deplorable.

Those fartiers who can get in large fields of alfalfa this season . meed have no fears that it will not prove us good as any investment they can make in the way of a crop, taking two or three seasons together. eee Kewrvcx, an old trapper who has been catching beaver, lynx, coyotes down the river, brought two large beavers to town yesterday, says the Winnemucea Silver State of Febra-' ary 24th, which he caught about five miles below town.

Whethor this is exactly true in fact, is » matter of conjecta-ed fancy; but it ig evident the party is divided against itself into'two factions, which seem ae be drifting more and more widely apart, and if there is sufficient wisdom displayed to arrest the aisintegration threatened by the paralizing. shock under Which it now rolls and. staggers like a topor in hia cups, it will surprise everyone who has observed the lack of generalghip which has led it into ite present di ing Plight. 3 : It had been far better if the tels. gramsof Z.

The appearance jof Mr. Field in a capacity which everyone thought he understood, was regarded as an evidence of ingratitude on the part of a candidate who needed all the friends he had, and the wounded vanity of self-respect of some really ablemen, produced a lukewarmness that has had its share inthe disastrous result.
