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.
