GRANT'S TALK ABOUT THE WAH. Tho Bio ry of Appom*tt??? a? Told hy tho Victor-Tba Silent General's View of Friend? iu?d Foes. HAMBURG, GERM AN V. July 6. i have some memoranda of odds add ends of conversations in idle moments wliilo wandering about these old towns, and it seems to me tbnt I can do no bet ter service to the historian than to throw these memoranda into some shape. There are few men more wiliiog to con verse on any subject which ho knows . than the General, and although his fame io that of a silent man, those who know him ot all know that in reality we have few better talker? in America. The charm of tho General's talk is that il is never about anything he does not know, and what he does know he knows well. He is never vindictive and never gossips, and when referring to men and things in tho great events of Ms career, he hs os passionless and just as a historian. He never refers to tho war unless you put the subject to him directly. I am airaid I have been curious 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 fable-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 BURHENBER OF LEE. We were conversing one eveuing about Leo's surrender. The General tdd tho story of -the memorable event. "Tho night before Lee nur rendered," he said, "1 bad a wretched headache-headaches to which I have been subject-nervous Srostration, intense personal suffering, tut, suffer or not, I bad to keep moving. I saW clearly, especially after Sheridan lind cut off tho escapo to Danville, that Lee must surrender or break ana run into the mountains-break in all dir<*> tiona and leavo ua a dozen guerilla bandi to fight. My campaign was not Rich mond, not the defeat of Lee in actual fight, but to remove him and bio arri) out of the contest, and, if possible, t'c have him uso bia influenco in inducing the surrender of Johnston and tho otbei isolated armies. You seo the war wai an enormous strain upon the country, Rich as wo were,' I do not now aee hon wo could have endured it another year, even from a financial point of view. .So, with these views,'I wrote Leo, and open ed the oorrespoudonoe with which th? world is familiar. Leo doc? not appeal well in that'correspondence-not nearly so well aa be did in our subr.cqucut in terviews, where his whole bearing wa? that of n patriotic and gallant soldier, concerned aloa* for the welfare of hi: army and his Stnto. I received word that Lee would meet mo at a point-with in our linea near Sheridan's headquarters I had to ride quito a distance through c muddy country. 1 remember/ now, -that I was conccrued about ' my personal ap pearance. I had an old suit on, Without j my sword, and without any distinguish ing mark of rank except the shoulder _i"_ll_?_. - - 1 -T :???? wiitin ui n ucuvuanitb-gcucrai on n wool len blouse, I was splashed with mud in my lung ride. I was afraid Lee might think I meant lo show bim studied dis courtesy bv eo coming-at least I thought BO. But I had no other clothes within roach, as Lee's letter found mo away from my baso of supplies, ? kept on riding until I met Sheridan. Tho Gen cral, who was one of tho heroes of tbc campaign, and wheeo pursuit of Leo waa perfect in its generalship and energy, told mil .fruero ?o nnd Le?, i remember that Sheridan was impatient when I met him-anxious mid suspicious about the whole uiuluesa-feared thor* might bc a plan to escapo ; that be baa Lee at bia feet, and wanted to end the business by Suing *o and forcing an absolute Barren er by c?ntaro, in fact, he had bia troops ready for such sn assault when 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 ou my way to meet him. I expressed my regret that I was compelled to meet him in so unceremonious a manner, and ho replied that the only , ault be had nvaUablo r.i* one which had been sent him by come admirors in Baltimore, and which he then woro for the first time. - We apoke of old friends in the army. I rc m eui he icu having seen Lee in Mexico. Ho was so much nigher in rank than myself at the time that I supposed ho hod no recollection of me. Bat he said ho rcaiomborod mo very well. We talked of old times and exchanged iii*' qnirles about frieads. Leo then broach ed tho subject of our meeting. I-told . him my terms, and Lee, listening atten tively, asked mo to write thom down. 'I took out my manifold order book and . pencil and wrote them down. Gen. Lee. Sut. on his glasses and read them over, "fie conditions gave tho officers their sido arma, jprivato homes and personal haggftgo. I said to Lee that I hoped - and believed this would bo tho close v$ tho war ? that it was most important that tho men should go home and go to work, . and rho government would not throw any obstacles in tho way. Lee answered j that it would have a mest happy affect, and accepted the terms. I handed over, *ay pencilled memorandum to an side e0 j put Into ink, and we reaumcu our con- ? versati?n about old times and friends in the armies. Various officers came in LoucBtreet, Gordon. Pickett, from tko South : Sheridan, Ord, and others from our aldo. Sonic were old friends; Long Btrcot ?nd myself, for instance, and wo had a general talk, Lee, no doubt, ex pected me to ask for his sword, but I did not want bia-sword. ; It would only," said the General smiling, "have gone to the patent office Ky bo worshipped by tho Washington rob?is." There was another pause when he said that moat of the ani mals in his cavalry and artillery were owned .by tho privates, and ho would liko to know, under jthe ten?f, whether ??wy r>viiiiu ira itgontcu ari yTVi?i/o pfOp .-? erty or tho property of the government. I said under the terms of surrender they belonged tu the government. Gen. Lee read over the letter and said that was so. I then said to tho General that I be lieved and hoped this waa the last battler! of the war. and I saw the wisdom of these men getting home and to work aa soon OB possible, and that I would give orders to allow any soldier or officer claiming a horaeor a mule to tako iL Gen. Lee ahowed some emotion nt -bis-a feeling v/hich I also aha? ed-and said it would . .Vu*** ii Ha mw? s?bcL- Thc inter view ended, anq ^gavo.o?dora for ration-i lug his troops.

Hut Leo would not move without Davis, and, as a matter of fact at that time, or tx.on after, Davis was a fugitive in the w " fis." JEFFERSON DAVIS AND TtlS ROUTH. An allusion was road o to the fooling 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 t ie arguments current in history-that tue war waa a w?r against windmills, and tbat if one n .r or another had been in authority the result would have been different} that some more placable man than Davis could have made a better fight. 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 Bouth. Tho South was beaten from tho begin niug. There was no victory possible for any government resting upon tho plat form of the Southern Confederacy. Just as soon as tho war united and aroused the young men of the North and called out tho National feeling, there was no end but the end tV-vt carno. D' rh did all ho could do for bia side, and bow much he did do no one knows better than those who woro in tho field." STONEWALL JACKSON. Your correspondent asked tho General how he ranken Jcckseu among soldiers. "I knew Stonewall Jackson," said the General, "at West Poiut and in Mexico, At West Point ha came into the school at an' older age than the average, and began with a low erode. But he had sc much courage and energy, worked st herd sud governed his life by a discipline so stern, that he steadily worked his wa; along and rose far above others who hat i more advantages. Stonewall Jackson a i West Point was Sn a suite of constant im provomcnt. He was a religion* mai then, and soine of us regarded him os i , fanatic. Sometimes his religion tool I strange formt?-hypochondria-fancie f< that an evil spirit nad taken possessio) of bim. But. he nevor relaxed in iii i studies or his Christian duties. I kno\ '? him in Mexico. Ho waa always a brav i and trustworthy officer-nono more so i: ' the army. I never knew him or encoun ? tered him in tho rebellion.

From all I know of Jackson and all I BC I of his campaigns I have little doubt < ' the result.

Thsy would h* vs insured destruction { i any commander who tried them upo ?1 Sherman, Thomas, Sheridan, Meade, o . in fact, any of our great generals.

'I a ways respected Jackson personally, on esteemed bis sincere and manly chimu ? ter. He impressed me always aa a ma of the Cromwell stamp-a Puritan much moro of tho New Englander tim the Virginian. If any man believed ! the rebellion, ho did. And .'his natui was auch that whatever he believed i became a dcop, religions duty-a dui he would discharge at any cost. It is mistake to suppose that I ever had ar feeling for Stonewall Jackson but respec Personally, w were alway? good friend his character had rare points of merl and although he made the mistake i fighting against his country, if ever man did so conscientiously ho was tl mau,"? LEE AB A COMMANDER. This led to a remark HS to tho TC; and universal fame of Lee, especially j Europe-a reputation which seemed < grow every day. "I sever ranked Loo as high os son others of tho army," said the Genera "that ia to say, I nevor had na""mue anxiety when Le was in ray front i when ?foo Johnston was in front. L< was a good man, a fair commander, wli had everything in his favor. He was man who needed sunshine.

Th whole population were in the war. Th four million of negroes were tho same i soldiers, because they did the work i the fields which white men would hat) to do. I believe the Sooth had aa man men under anns as the North. Whi defeated tho Southern arms was Nortl ero courage and skill, and this, too, wit detraction .all around. You cannot in agine how disheartening it waa at .ti time, not only io GSCVTS i>ut men." ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON AND JOSEF E. JOIINUTON . An allusion was made by your co respondent to Albert Sidney Jobnstoi Snd the General said : "I knew ?!bo idney Johnston before the war.

I was very sorry, If I had known Johnston was coming, I would have told Pemberton to wait in Vicks burg u jtil I wanted him, awaited John stons .\dvance, and given him battle, lie coull never have beaten that Vicks burg r.vmy, and thus I would have de stroyed two armies, perhaps. Pember ton's was already gone, and I was quite sure of Johnston's. I was sorry I did not know Johnston was coming until it was too late. Take it all in all, tho South, in my opinion, had no better sol dier than Joe Johnston-uone, at least, that gave me more trouble. KO COUNCIL? OF WA?. Some remark was mode 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 ao. Of course I heard *?11 that every one bad to say, and in headquarters thero ia an interesting and constant stream of talk. But I always made up my mind to act, and tho first that even my staff I.new of any movement WPI when I wrote it out iu rough and gave it to be copied off." (Ml ANT THINK? I'OOKLY OK 1'ILLOW, FLOYD, AC. 1'eoplo think that Douelson was cap tured Ly pouring men into it ten to one, or somo such odds. The truth is our army-a ?:ew army-invested a fortified filace and compelled a surrender of a oreo much larger than our own. A large number ot tho rebe's escaped under Floyd and Pillow, but as it was I took more prisoners than I had under my command for tho first two days of my in vestment. After the investment we wore re-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. Thero were 22,000 effec tive men in Donelson at the beginning of the siege. Of courso there was a risk in attacking Donelson as I did, but," Baid tho Qenerai, smiling, "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. "Supposo Longstreet or Jackson had been iu command?" said your correspon dent. "If Longstreet or Jackson," said the General, "or oven if Buckner had been in command, I would bav? made a dif ferent campaign. In tho beginning we nil did things more rashly tuan later, just os Jackson did in his earlier cam paigns. Tho Mexican war made tho offi cers of the old regular armies moro 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 tho General, "was os much the knowledge I had gained of its commanders in Mexico as anything else. But ns tho war progressed and each side kept improving its anny, these experi ment:-, were not possible. Then it be came hard, earnest war, nnd neither side could depend upon any chance with the other. Neither aide dared to make a mistake. It was steady, hard pounding, and tho 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 adversary. That made it so hard for both aides,) abd especially for tho-Sbuth." OUR PARIS LETTER. Trocadero Falseo-From tho lime of Ad am to EU I ?on-Italics and CurlosIUea of all Asea and from aU Countries- Anferi can> Aftrocd. PARIS, July 20,1878. I The right wing of the Trocadero Pal ace, tho annex to tho main building, ia dovoted to antiquities, which have been ao arranged as to give a connected view of tho progressive development nf tho arts, and foi m a fitting introduction to their present advanced condition. Even the pro-historic relics of the human race are displayed there to complete the series. Tho Exposition ia t'.us not only of tho present, but of the past. It given the history of human labor in various coun tries from the oariieat periods, and be comes to a great degree an exposition of mental development of the human race. It is impossible to pass successively from tho inspection of tho : -ipi em en ta of stono, brour.0, iron and fina,.y of steel, without recognising c. progressive dovoi opment of humanity. Tho galleries of the an tiquities makes the Exhibition an unwritten history of civilisation which every ono can r?ad, of whatever nation or language. It attracts the peasant and th- acholar, and teaches history and phi losophy by the contrast of tho produc tions of human !>>bor of r U periods and countries. The French exhibit is i\o . .oat com plete as a whoie, and is divided by parti tions into a series of halls or apartments, ao as to more distinctly mark tho differ ent periods. The prehistoric period ia brought boldly forward b;r the extensivo collection* which hsvo been made !n va rious parts of Eu ropo during the past ten years-auch as implements of atone from the bono caverna, peat bogs, and from the lake dwellings of Switzerland. Tho cases are filled with enormous spear heads of flints, hatchets and o'Jior rudely made implements formed ?.- chipping and without polish. These occur in as sociation with tho bones and teeth of the extinct cave-bear, the clophant and the mastodon, and specimens of those are displayed in the same cases. These rudely-made implements are supposed to I belong to the first or earliest stono period. A second or later period of tho stone age ia indicated by implemento of a su perior finish-such as were ground down to smooth abruces, and in nome instances polished. Tho next hall contains in struments of tho bronte 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 j bronze and of gold, rings, and pins. Of j the latter; a large collection contains pins with a shield for the points,' and a spiral spring at the back, almost identi cal in form with some of tho patent pins of the present day. The next hall is devoted to the Celtio and GalHo relics, and wUi?aSo tho ?oiMarkap?e gobion necklaces from thc museum of Toulouse. Tho. representation of the work of Che rnidtllo ag?i Is characterized by a variety of church ornaments and relics, auch aa oak chests, seats, caskets; croziers, bronzes set with masses of rock-crystal, like those of Chira and Japan ; ivory carvlngo, illuminated missals of vellum, awards and chain armor. The fifth hall' contains objects of the sixteenth century, or Renaissanceperiod. Here aro found curiously fashioned if on locks and keys, catting instruments; jewelry and a few n?Kirly ?perica! watches. At tho outrance J of the sixth hall, representing the arts of j tho seventeenth and eighteenth centu ries, a curions Collection cf hleh-heeled tenticn. Here also are seen old furni ture, mirrors, inlaid cabinets, black let ter books and specimens of book-bind ing. The collections of this period aro continued in the balls beyond, and con tains richly wrought table-services of silver, tapestries, snuff-boxes, thread-lace and elaborately decorated fan*. Al though the collection of antiquities es | 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. Tho wonderful advances made in the mechanical arts of the pres ent century, and the various applications of science to tho arts are not histroni cally sbown. The collection is also de ficient in representations of tho ancient arts and civilization of China, Japan, Egypt, Mexico, Central America and Peru. Somebody has said that Americans make the best Frenchmen of all !be foreigners who flock here from all parts of the globe ; and from what I have seen of our beloved countrymen nb?oad, I am inclined to believe that such is really the fact. The English aro always English, and promenade in London styles on the avenues ; affect nothing but dog-carts and drags, and when they condescend to learn French, never ?peak it without the peculiar nasal cockney twang pf 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-1 tionable women than all the other for eigners put together. The Germans, of whom we have also a great many hero, 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 hos not yet forgotten 1871. But an American has not been a week in Paris before ho waxes his moustache, buys a plug hat of tho latest Parisian styles, sports lavender kids and a whale bone cano with an ivory leg for a ban dle, wear narrow trowsers, sack-coat and patent leather boots, end says "pardon monsieur" every five minutes.
