GRAUT'S TALK ABOUT THE WAR. The Story of App:>nxattoi, an Told by the Victor?The Sllr.it General's View of Friends and Foes. Hambueg, Geemasy, July 6. I have some memoranda of odds and ends of conversations in idle momenta while wandering about these old towns, and it seems to me that I can do no bet? ter service to the historian than to throw these memoranda into some shape. There are few men more willing to con? verse on any subject which he knows than the-General, and although, his fame is that of a silent man, those, who. know him at all.know that in reality we have few better talkers in America. The charm of the General's talk is that it is never about anything he does not know, and what be does know he knows well. He is never vindictive and never gossips, and when referring to men and things in ? the great events of his career, he is as passionless and jurt as a historian. He never refers to the war unless you put the subject to him directly. I ant afraid I have been Gurion* on this point, not that I ever wanted to trouble Gen. Grant, but because the. judgment and opinions ,of such a man belong to history, I hope, therefore, that what I gather up and send you from various &;ble-talk memo? randa will have a value to the historian.' I do not hope to give-you- the General's : exact words, although as far as memory serves I do so.. the 6tjbsexdeb of lee. We were conversing one evening about ' Lee's surrender. The General told the story of the memorable event. "The night before Lee surrendered," he said, "1 had a wretched headache?headaches to which I have been subject;?nervous Srostration, intense personal suffering, iut, suffer or not, I had to keep moving. I saw" clearly, especially after Sheridan, had cut off the escape to Danville, that Leo must surrender or break and run into the mountains?break in all direct tiens and leave us a c ozeu guerilla bands to fight My campaign was not Rich? mond, not the defeat of Lee in actual ' fight, but to remove him and his army out of the contest, and, if possible, to have him nse his influence in inducing the surrender of Johnston and the other isolated armies. You see the war was an enormous strain upon the country. Rich as wo were, I do not now see how ;we could have endured ifs another year, even from a financial point of view. ? So, . with these views,* I wrote Lee; and open? ed the correspondence with which-the world is familiar. Leo does not appear well in that correspondence?not nearly so well as he did in our subsequent in? terviews, where his whole bearing was that of a patriotic and gallant soldier, concerned alone for the welfare of his army and his State. I received word, that Lee would meet me i t a pointrwith in our lines near Sheridan's headquarters. I had to ride quite a distance through a muddy country. I remember.- now -that ! was concerned about mj personal .ap? pearance. I had an old suit on, without my sword, and without any distinguish? ing mark of rank except the shoulder strap, of a lieutenant-general on a wool? len blouse. I was splashed with mud in ' my long ride. I was iffraid Lee might think I meant to show him studied dis? courtesy by so coming?at least I thought so. R?t I bad no other clothes within reach, as Lee's letter found me away from my base of supplies. I kept on riding until I met Sheridan. The Gen? eral, who was one of the heroes of the campaign, and whose pursuit of Lee was perfect in its generalship and energy, told me where to find Lee. I remember that Sheridan was impatient when I met him?anxious and suspicious about' the whole business?feared there might be a plan to escape; that he had Lee at his feut, and wanted to end the business by going in and forcing an absolute surren? der by capture. In fact, he bad his troops ready for such an assault wberr Lee's white flag came within his lines. I went up to the house where Lee was ! waiting. I found him in a fine, new, splendid uniform, which only recalled my anxiety as to my own clothes while on my way to meet him. I expressed my regret that'I was compelled to meet him in so unceremonious a manner, and he replied that the only suit he had available was one which had been sent him by some admirers in Baltimore, and which he then wore for the first time. ? We spoke of old friends in the army. I remembered having seen Lee in Mexico. Ho was so much nigher in rank than mysdf at the time that I supposed he had no recollection of me. But he said he remembered me very well. We talked of old times and exchanged in . quirius about frieuds. Lee then broach? ed the subject of our meeting. I-told him my terms, and Lee, listening atten? tively, asked me to write them down. I - took out my manifold order book and pencil and wrote them clown. Gen. Lee put on his glasses and read them over. The conditions gave the officers their side arms, private horses and personal baggage. I said to Lee that I hoped and believed this would bo the close of the wir; that it was most important that the men should go home and go to work, and t he government wonld not throw any obstacles in the way. Lee answered that it would have a most happy effect, and accepted the terms. I handed over ray pencilled memorandum to an aide to put in;o ink, and we resumed our con? versation about old times and friends in the armies. Various officers came in? Longstreet, Gordon, Pickett, from the South'; Sheridan, Ord, and others from our side. Some were old friends ; Long street and myself, for instance, and we had a general talk. Lee, no doubt, ex? pected me to ask for his sword, but I did not wiint his sword. Its would only," said the General smiling, "have gone to the patent office to be worshipped by the Washington rebels." There was another - pause when he said that most of the ani? mals itt his cavalry and artillery were owned .by the privates, and he would like to Icnow, under the terms, whether they would be regarded as private prop? erty or the property of the government I said under the terms of surrender they belonged to the government Gen. Lee read over the letter and said that was so. I then said to the General that I be? lieved and hoped this was the last battle of the war, and I saw the wisdom of these men getting home and to work as soon as possible, and that I would give orders to allow any soldier or officer claiming a home or a mule to take it Gen. Lee showed some emotion at this?a feeling which I also shared?and said it would have a most happy effect The inter? view ended, and I gave orders for ration? ing his troops. The next day I met Lee on horseback, and we had a long talk. In that conversation I urged upon Lee the wisdom of ending the war by the surrender of the other armies. I asked bim to use his influence with the people Of the South?on influence that was su? preme?to bring the war to the end. Gen. Lee said that his campaign in Vir? ginia was the last organized resistance which the South was capable of making ?that I might have to march a good deal and encounter isolated commands here and there, but there was no longer any army which could make a stand. I told Lee that this fact only made his responsibility greater, and any further war would be a crime. I asked him to go among the Southern people and use his influence to have all men under arms surrender on the same terms given to the Army of Northern Virginia. He replied he could not do so without consultation with President Davis. I was sorry. I saw that the Confederacy had gone be yopd the reach of President Davis, and that there was nothing that could be done except what Lee could do to benefit the Southern people. I was anxious to get them home and have our armies go to their homes and fields. 3ut Lee would not move without Davis, and, as a matter of fact at that time, or soon after. Davis was a fugitive in the woods," JEFFERSON DAVIS AND THE SOUTH. An allusion was made to the feeling in the South that Davis was an injury to the Confederacy and did not do his best. "I never thought so," said the General. "Davis did his best?did all that any man could do?to save the Confederacy. This argument is like some of the arguments current in history?that the war was a war against windmills, and that if one man or another had been in luthority the result would have been different-;, that some more placable man th an Davis could have made a better fightv This is not true. The .war was. a tremendous war, and no one knows better than those who were in it. - Davis did all .he could and all any man could for the South. The South was beaten from the begin? ning. There was no victory possible for' any government resting upon-the plat? form of the Southern Confederacy. Just aa soon as the war united and aroused the young men of the North and called out the National feeling, there was no end but the end that came. Davis did all he could do for his Bide, and how much he did do do one knows better than those who were in the field." STONEWALL JACKSON. Your correspondent asked the General how he ranked Jackson among soldiers. "I knew Stonewall Jackson," said the General, "at WestPomt'andTn'Mexirjori At West Point he came into. the. school at r.n older age than the average, and began with a low grade." But h e bad so much courage and energy, worked so .hard and governed his life by a discipline so stern, that he steadily worked his way along and rose far above others vrho had more advantages. Stonewall Jackson at West Point was in a state of constant im? provement. He was a religious man then, and some of us regarded him as a fanatic - Sometimes his religion took strange forms? hypochondria?fancies thas an evil spirit had taken possession of him. But. he never relaxed in his studies or his Christian duties. I knew him in Mexico. He was always a brave and trustworthy officer?none more so in the army. I never knew him or encoun? tered him in the rebellion. I question whether his campaigns in Virginia jus? tify his reputation as a great commander. He was killed too soon, and before his rank allowed him a great command. It would have been a test of generalship, if Jackson bad met Sheridan in the valley instead of some of the men he did meet. From all I know of Jackson and all I see of his campaigns I have little doubt of the result. If Jackson had attempted on Sheridan the tactics he attempted so successfully upon others he would not only have* been beaten but destroyed. Sudden, daring raids, under s fine gen? eral like Jackson, might do against raw troops and inexperienced commanders, such- as we had in the beginning of the war, but not against drilled troops and a commander like Sheridan. Tho tactics for which Jackson is famous, and which achieved such remarkable results, be? longed entirely to the beginning of the war, and to the peculiar conditions under which the earlier battles were fought. They would have insured destruction to any commander who tried them upon Sherman, Thomas, Sheridan, Meade, or, in fact, any of.our, great generals. Con? sequently Jacksor/s fame as a general depends upon achievements gained be? fore his generalship was tested?before he had a chance of matching himself with a really great commander. No doubt so able and patient a man as Jack son, who worked so hard at anything he attempted, would have adapted himself to new conditions and risen with them. He d>cd before his opportunity . T al? ways respected Jackson personally, and esteemed his sincere and manly charac? ter. He impressed me always as a man of the Cromwell stamp?a Puritan? much more of the New Engl?nder than the Virginian. If any man believed in the rebellion, he . did. And Jiis-nature was such that whatever he believed in became a deep, religious duty?a duty he would discharge at any cost. It is a mistake to suppose that I ever had any feeling for Stonewall Jackson but respect. Personally, we were always good friends; his character had rare points of merit, and although he made the mistake of fighting against his country, if ever a man did so. conscientiously be was the man."* LEE AS A. COMMANDER. This led to a remark as to the great and universal fame of Lee, especially in Europe?a reputation which seemed to grow every day. "I never ranked Lee as high as some others of the army," said the General, "that is to say, I never had TOT much .anxiety when he was in my front as when Joe Johnston was in front. Lee was a good man, a fair commander, who had everything in his favor. He was a man who needed sunshine. He was sap gorted by the unanimous voice of the outh; be was supported by a large party in the North ; he had the support and sympathy of the outside woild. All this is of an immense advantage to a general. Lee had this'in a remarkable degree. Everything he did was right. He was treated like a demi-god. Cur generals had a hostile press, lukewarm friends and a public opinion outside. The cry was in the air that the North only won by brute force; that the gen? eralship and valor were with* the South. This has gone into history, with so many other illusions that are historical. Lee was of a slow, conservative, cautious na? ture, without imagination or humor, al? ways the same, with grave dignity. I never could see in his achievements what justifies his reputation. The illu? sion that nothing but heavy odds beat him will not stand the ultimate light of history. I know it is not true. The South and North were more nearly matched than you would suppose. The ? whole population were in the war. The four million of negroes were the i ame as soldiers, because they did the work in the fields which white men wou d have to do. I believe the South had as many men under arms as the North. What defeated the Southern arms was North? ern courage and skill, and this, too, with detraction all around. You cannot im? agine how disheartening it was at the time, not only to officers but men." ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON AND JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON An allusion was made by your cor? respondent to Albert Sidney Johnston, and the General said: "I knew Albert - Sidney Johnston before the war. When be was sent to Utah I had a high opinion of his talents. When the war broke out j he was regarded as the coming man of the Confederacy. I shared that opinion, because I knew and esteemed hi n, ana because I felt as we all did in the old j army, where there was a public opinion among the officers as to wno would come out ahead. In many cases, in mast cases, our public opinion was in error. Bragg had a great reputation in the South. Bragg was the most contentious of men, and there was a story in Mexico that he put every one in arrest nnder kirn and then put himself in arrest. Albert Sid? ney Johnston might have risen ii fame, and we all had confidence in hit; doing so, but he died too soon, as Stonewall Jackson died, too soon for us to say what he would have done under the later and altered condi .ions of tho war. The Southern army had many good generals. Lee, of course, was a good soldier, and so was Longstreet, but I do not kt> ;>w that there was any better than Joe Johnston. I I have had nearly all of the Southern Generals in high command in front of me, and Johnston gave me more anxiety than any of the others. I was never half I so anxious about Lee. By the way, I saw in Joe Johnston's book that, when I was asking Pemberton to su Tender Vicksburg, be was on his way to raise the siege. I was very sorry. If I had known Johnston was coming, I would have told Pemberton to wait in Vicks burg.until I wanted him, awaited John? ston's advance, and given him battle. He could never have beaten that Vicks burg army, and thus I would have de? stroyed two armies, perhaps. Pember ton'b was already gone, and I was quite sure of Johnston's. I was sorry I did not know Johnston was coming uutil it was too late. Take it all in all, tho South, in my opinion, had no better sol? dier than Joe Johnston?none, at least, that gave me more trouble. no councils of war. Some remark was made about councils of war, and how far their deliberations affected an army's movements. "I never held a council of war in my life. I never heard of Sherman or Sheridan do? ing so. Of course I beard ali that every one bad to say, and in headquarters there is an interesting and constant stream of talk. But I always made up my mind to act, and the first that even my staff knew of any movement was when I wrote it out in rough and gave it to be copied off." grant thinks poorly of pillow, floyd, &c. People think that Donelson was cap? tured by pouring men into it ten to one, or some such odds. The truth is our army?a new army?invested a fortified place and compelled a surrender of a force much larger than our own. A large number of the rebels escaped under Floyd and Piilow,' but -an it was I took more prisoners than I had under my command for the first two days of my in? vestment. After the investment we were I e-inforced, so that at the surrender there were 26,000 Union troops, about 4,000 of which were sent back to guard the road to where the steamers lay with our supplies. There were 22,000 effec? tive men in Donelson at the beginning of the siege. Of course there was a risk in attacking Donelson as I did, but," said the General, smilingj "I knew the men who commanded it. I knew some of them in Mexico. Knowledge of that kind goes far toward determining a movement like this." - the attack on fort donelson. "Suppose Longstreet or Jackson had been in command?" said your correspon? dent. "If Long8treet or Jackson," said the General, "or even if Buckner bad been in command, I would hare made a dif? ferent campaign. In the beginning we all did things more rashly than later, just as Jackson did in his earlier cam? paigns. The Mexican war made the offi? cers bf the bid regular armies more or less acquainted, and when we knew the name of the general opposing we knew enough about him to make our plans ac? cordingly. What determined my attack on Donelson," said the General, "was as much the knowledge I had gained of its commanders in Mexico as anything else. But as the war progressed and each side kept improving its army, these experi? ments were not possible. Then it be? came hard, earnest war, and neither side could depend upon any chance with the other. Neither side dared to. make a mistake. It was steady, hard pounding, and the result could only be ruin to the defeated party. That was a peculiarity in our war that wo were not fighting for a peace, but to destroy our adve.sary. That made it so hard for both sides,: and especially-for tW-South." OUR PARIS LETTER* Trocadero Palace?From the Time of Ad? am to Edison?BoUcs and Cariosities of all Ages and from, all Countries?Anferl cans Abroad. Paris, July 20,1878. . The right wing of the Trocadero Pal? ace, the annex to the main building, is devoted to antiquities, which have been so arranged as to give a connected view of the progressive development of the arts, and form a fitting introduction to their present advanced condition. Even the pre-historic relics of the human race are displayed there to complete the series. The Exposition is thus not only of the present, but of the past. It gives the history of human labor in various coun? tries from the earliest periods, and be? come.} to a great degree an exposition of mental development of the human race. It is impossible to pass successively from the inspection of the implements of stone, bronze, iron and finally of steel, without recognizing a progressive devel? opment of humanity. The galleries of the antiquities makes the Exhibition an unwritten history of civilization which every one can read, of whatever nation or language. It attracts the peasant and the scholar, and teaches history and phi? losophy by the contrast of the produc? tions of human labor of all periods and countries. The French exhibit is the moat com? plete as a whole, and is divided b" parti? tions into a series of halls or apartments, so as to more distinctly mark the differ? ent periods. The pre-historic period is brought boldly forward by the extensive collections which have been made in va? rious parts of Europe during the past ten years?such as implements of stone from the bone caverns, peat bogs, and from the lake dwellings of Switzerland. The cases are filled with enormous spear? heads of flints, hatchets and other rudely made implements formed by chipping and without polish. These occur in as? sociation with the bones and teeth of the extinct cave-bear, the elephant and the mastadon, and specimens of these are displayed in the same cases. These rudely-made implements are supposed to belong to the first or earliest stone period. A second or later period of the stone age is indicated by implements of a su? perior finish?such as were ground dow n to smooth surfaces, and in some instances polished. The next hall contains in? strument) of the bronze period, extend? ing to the Gallo-Roman. The objects consist chiefly of cutting instruments, agricultural implements, lamps and ob? jects of ornament, such as bracelets of bronze and of gold, rings, and pins. Of the latter, a large collection contains pins with a shield for the points, and a spiral spring at the back, almost identi? cal inform with some of the patent pius of the present day. The next hall is devoted to the Celtic and Gallic relics, and contains the remarkable golden necklaces from the museum of Toulouse. The representation of the work of the middle ages is characterized by a variety of church ornaments and relics, such as oak chests, seals, caskets, crozicrs, bronzes set with masses of rock-crystal, like those of China and Japan; ivory carvings, illuminated missals of vellum, swords and chain armor. The fifth hall contains objects of the sixteenth century, or Renaissance period. Here are found curiously fashioned iron locks and keys, cutting instruments, jewelry and a few nearly sperical watches. At the entrance of the sixth ball, representing the arts of the seventeenth and eighteenth centu? ries, a curious collection of high-heeled boots and shoes attract considerable at tendon. Here also are Been old furni? ture, mirrors, inlaid cabinets, black let? ter books and specimens of book-bind? ing. The collections of this period are continued in the halls beyond, and con? tains richly wrought table-services of silver, tapestries, snuff-boxes, thread-lace and elaborately decorated fans. Al? though the collection of antiquities as a whole is very large and interesting, it cannot be regarded as a complete exhibit of the progress of human labor up to the present time. The wonderful advances made in the mechanical arts of the pres? ent century, aud the various applications of science to the arts are not histroni cally shown The collection is also de? ficient in representations of the ancient arts and civilization of China, Japan, Egypt, Mexico, Central America and Peru. Somebody has said that Americans make the best Frenchmen of all the foreigners who flock here from all parts of the globe; and from what I have Been of our beloved countrymen abroad, I am inclined to believe that such is really the fact. The English are always English, and promenade in London styles 00 tue avenues; affect nothing but dog-carts and drags, and when they condescend to learn French, never speak it without the peculiar nasal cockney twang of London. The Russians, of whom there are always a large colony here, are intensely Rus? sian in everything, and spend more mon? ey on diamonds, champagne and ques? tionable women than all the other for? eigners put together. The Germans, of whom we have also a great many here, are as a rule of an economical turn of mind; patronize cheap restaurants and third-class hotels, and assimilate 'with nothing as readily as beer. They are the least popular of all the foreigners here, for Paris has not yet forgotten 1871. But an American has not been a week j in Paris before he waxes his moustache, buys a plug hat of the latest Parisian styles, sports lavender kids and a whale boue cane with an ivory leg for a han? dle, wear narrow trowsers, sack-coat and patent leather boots, and Bays "pardon monsieur" every five minutes.
