Adjourned. dienern] Grant. The following is an extract from a pow? erful and eloquent speech by Gen. Hillyer, at a meeting of soldiers and sailors in New York, a few days since: Thank God, the nation is safe so long as the army and navy stand by the President of the United States in his efforts to re? store tho Union, and hold themselves pre? pared to defend thc rights of the States and tin- people against the usurpation of any Congress not organized in accordance 'with the policy of tho Constitution of our fathers. [Cheers.] A Voice- -"What of Grant?" followed with cheers, , . , (len. Hillyer -A gentleman asks*me what of Grant? What feel le human voice would be heard in his praises amid tie- rattle of musketry ami tho roar of artillery with which his name has been thundered down by history from almost a hundred victo? rious battle-fields? [Enthusiastic cheers for Gen. Grant.] There is a daily beauty in his life; there is a grandeur of charac? ter, coupled with an honest and modest simplicity of manner, which has given him place in tho nation's heart that no mun ever held before--[Voices- "That's so," and applause]-until the partial eves of his countrymen say: Around him bangs such a perpetual spell, What'cr he does, none else did e'er so well. What could such a soldier bo other I haji the embodiment of magnanimityV How could such a man feel aught but Christian charity? How could such a citizen be loyal to less than tho whole country? [Ap? plause.] I tell you, soldiers, that General Grant, your lalo Commander-in-Chief, stands by tho President of tho United Suites in his efforts to restore the Union. [Renewed applause.] I speak from a re? cord which all univ see and read. The same spirit which Cirant manifested at the surrenderor Lee has characterized every act of Johnson in his treatment of the subjugated South. When General Grant, in his ?'mal report, expressed the wish that you might live in perpetual pcaoe anti har? mony with that enemy whi se manhood, however mistaken the cause, had drawn forth such herculean deeds of valor, he meant what he said. [A voice, "That's so."] ? One ol' the tirst, if not thc very lirsi ap? plications made by a prominent Southern man to the President of the United States, was made by General Robert I-'.. Lee, late Comniander-in-Cliief of the Confederate forces, and on the back of that application is an endorsement a warm, earnest, do? nnent endorsement asking that that par? don should be granted; and that endorse? ment is signed by "C.s. (?rant. General Commanding the Armies of the United States." [Cheers.) When thc President had prepared his first letter to the Provi? sional Governor of North Carolina, before ho sent it or published it, bo submitted it to General Grant for bis opinion and criti? cism, and General (Irani endorsed every word and syllable of that letter. Thal loller was thc key-note t-' the subsequent policy of the President. In the tliflicnlty between Congress and the President upon Hie veto of thc freed? men's bureau Rill, Gen. Grant stood hy the Prcsiifcnt. Congress adjourned, and tho representatives of the people assem? bled a!

Restitution. . Thc Richmond Ternes discussca this srtb cct as follows: It is said that many of tho lino blooded torses of tho South might bo recognized md idcntilicd by their owners, on any Ano ?vening, when there is a largo turn-out of reticles and equestrians at Central Park. Vnd it is also stated that many of our adios might lind their lost jewelry, if they it tended some of tho fashionable churches >f the Northern towns and cities. Indeed, i Southern lady did lind ont antUrccovcr, )ii a recent occasion, a very valuable shawi md set of ear-rings, broast-piu ami brace? ?is, in tho manner wo have indicated. There is good reason to believe that a very wholesome re-action is transpiring in ;hc North with reference to this very ques? tion of Southern spoliation which ive are mw discussing. Wo have always felt as mred, and have so expressed ourselves, ?hat tho day would come when tho docent [icfoplo of the North, who mould public icntiment and represent tho honor and gentility of their section, would bc heartily ishamed of thc wholesale plunder of a acoplo whoso wealth was taken in violation jf every rule of civilized warfare. Cur po? verty-stricken condition, thc suffering of ?ur people, the utter prostration of all our resources, constitute a standing reproach :o those whose acts, outside tho channels if legitimate war, have contributed very largely to our dest itution. When war has been waged by land and sea, as if the fruits of robbery and piracy ivcro tho chief incentives to hostilities, his? tory has not dealt lightly with a people ivhosc triumphs were obscured by such statu?. When, on one occasion, a Hornau consul returned loaded with tho plunder d' a conquered pcoplo, and his soldiers locked with the jew els and apparal of non? combatants, he was met with tho scorn md contempt of the virtuous old Romans. PUc; august assembly of Conscript fathers lias toned to pass a burning resolution of -.ensure, and it was considered that the Kliman name had been disgraced. This was before tho virtues of the republic had become quenched in tho vices and corrup? tions of tho empire. Public condemnation <>r those oiUccrs ind soldiers whose robberies have caused ilmoststarvation in many Southern house? holds, will increase with each revolving year, until it Hhall attain such strength that tho finger of public scorn will point ont and tho hissings of public contempt will follow every one whose acts have in? dicted such a disgrace upon his people. Even now, tho men who were most conspi? cuous in despoiling our wives and daugh? ters of their plate, pianos and jewelry, are becoming a by-word and jeer with all honorable men and women. This feeling has crossed the Atlantic, and every ex officer or military tourist who airs himself and his fly-blown reputation in Eurone, linds that there is an unpleasant odor about those pcoplo who have grown rich by "trophies" which excludes them from refined and polished society. Not long ago, an (..minent Northern di? vine, in commenting upon a great awaken? ing upon the subject of religion, which pre? vailed in certain localities in New England, uttered Hus sentiment, hi connection with the religious manifestations that were transpiring, that there would never be a true, genuine, sincere and permanent reli? gious reformation at the North, until res? titution had been- made to tho South? ern people, whose private goods had been taken from them. We should think there could be no reposo for Northern con? science until such restitution has been made. As each father shall hand down to his son somo watch, or each mother to ber daughter some rich jewel, snatched from the Southern planter or his dame, an heir? loom of shanie will be transmitted, which will carry the taint of infamy to the latest generations of those whose ancestors were robber-warriors in tho South. ? WENDELL PHILLIPS FOU ('ONOHESS, ANO TO DEPOSK XME PRESIDENT.- We see bj* ll boston correspondent in tho Tribune, that Wendell Phillips is to be run for Congress from boston, in place of Mr. Rice, the now sitting member. Ile is to be strengthened as a revolutionary Radical by running on the eight hour movement also. Mr. Phillips ha? recently, in a letter to the Anti-Slavery Society, been re-defining his position, which is as follows : "Our duty is to put there (in Congress) men who will at every hazard save the na? tion, remembering that they stand where tho Long Parliament stood in l'JW ; and though tho block and axe in fr?nt of the palace may be no fitting measure now, they aro bound to find and to uso some measure fit and efficient to secure their purpose-the deposition of tho perjured and usurping traitor." The Radical leaders more especially of Massachusetts -with Rout well in Congress, xt their head, have, no doubt, revolution in contemplation, certainly another civil war, if they cannot rule. Men of means iud property, if they wish to protect w hat they have, will be very careful that such men do not get into power. Rut, we shall bo told again, as before, '.Wendell Phillips is not the Republican party," "nor Thad. Stephen.-,'' nor "Eout ivell." They are. The party follow them blindly, and when business men or otb* rs troto tiie Radical ticket, thev directly vote for Wendell Phillips, Thad. Stevens .V Co. Thad.

And is tho report if tho illness of the Emperor pari of th" Prologue to th.- mw drama which is to io played in Europe? Such reports, and the facts on which hoyare based, will naturally excito tho millie mind of Europe to an unusual de? cree, and attempted explanations by ofli .ial or semi-official journals will fail, for h.? (imo at least, to allay anxiety. I LouiseiUe Journal. General Lee. Tho following tributo to General Leo is extracted from a long article inthe London Standard, written on tho subject of a sub? scription in London in aid of Washington College: "Tcerc is no living hero there aro few, if any, among those whose names shine with tho purest lustre in history -whose character has commanded HO high a tri? bute of affection and admiration from their friends -of respect and honor from their foes as that of Gen. Lee. No lifo moro perfectly heroic, no reputation moro untar? nished, even by tho minor blemishes which are not uncommonly found in union with' tho highest heroism, has ever been con? nected with a greaUnat ional struggle. No shadoof vanity or egotism nothing of thc self-will or petulance so often characteris? tic of conscious genius no t inge of ailee talion -no taint even of the pride almost inseparable from ordinary greatness of mind, which eau endure everything but humiliation, and regards submission as disgrace alloy tho simple- grandeur of the Virginia soldier's nature. A piety without tim slightest shadow of Pharisaism, a sense of duty to which the sacrifice of every personal fe ding and interest appeal s a matter of course, having marked his whole course and guided his every public act, whether as a soldier or a citizen. A family connexion, and tin- nearest living representative, of tin- great champion of American independence, Gen. Leo has been tlie Washington ol' tho Confederate war; like Washington, a man '"whom envy dire not hate." but without even the olio dark stain of doubt, if nut of dishonor, which the death ol' Maj. Andre has left on the memory of his prototype. No more "selfless man and stainless gentleman" ever lived; no soldier ever set a more admi? rable example of tlie soldierly virtues ol honor, chivalric generosity and manly sim? plicity; no great man ever retired into ob? scurity, after witnessing alike the ruin of his cause and the destructioh id' his privat' fortune, with more of Christian patience and unshaken fortitude. "Of his military achievements, we ucee! not. speak, lt is enough to say that nearly ?ill his victories were won against nnor mons odds, and t hat his four years' de felic? of Virginia has few parallels in history a: an example of great results accomplisiici with sundi mean: and at fearful disadvan tage. What, is now more interesting ti remember is the personal character of th' man, as displayed m the various exigen cica of that trying struggle; the simpl honesty and kindly feeling which prompte' him to console his soldiers as they recode from the cannon-crowned heights of Ort tysbnrg, with the assurance, 'lt is all m faull;' the unaffected self-depreciatio which pronounced, when Jackson fell, ' would wish, for tho sake of our cause,tba I had been disabled rather than you;' th Christian chivalry, which no outrage conl provoke to retaliation, which, after Virg nia had been rendered a desert, witbhel the army that invaded pennsylvania froi indicting the most, trivial injury on perso or property; which, when his own estut? had beeil plundered, ravaged and conti! cated, took care to protect the houses an property of his enemies; the horror of us less bloodshed which withstood the cry fi retribution excited by the murder of Sollti ern prisoners in cold blood, and support? the resolve of the President, that utile: the actual murderers were taken, no blo? should bo shed but.

Richmond Disp By tho arrival of the steamer Stars ami Stripes at Philadelphia, we have news from Mexico to the 1st inst. Tho crisis of tho empire had evidently arrived, judging from the lugubrious tone of the French ami Mexican Imperial press, as well as from tlio combined movement of tho Liberal forces for an attack on tho very seat of Maximilian's power. The Imperialists themselves are anxious for sonn- compe? tent power to take charge oT the destinies of Mexico, ami look imploringly to the United States as their only salvation.

The truck lias two smooth rails, and between them lies a wrought iron ladder, tu which Hie fingers of thc cogged driving wheel hike hold and climb np. The ascent is one foot in three. A singular notice has been given by Mr. ilcardcu, a member of Parlia? ment, namely, that he will introduce a bill next year for the dissolution ol tilt; union between England ant Ireland, and, at thc same time, ti appoint a royal prince to permanently reside in ireland as viceroy. It is said that a church near (?rea Bethel, built l>y a society of Friendi and negroes, has been binned dowi by vagabond negro incendiaries because the negroes worshipping therein would not listen to tho conn sels of certain preachers arraying th hincks against thc whites.
