WASHINGTON, February ll.-T President, in his letter to Gnu opens: "The extraordinary characl of your letter of the 3d would set to preclude a reply; but the mann in which publicity has been given tho correspondence whereof that 1 ter forms a part, and the grave qa tions iuvolved, induco this mode giving a proper sequel to the comn nications which have passed betwc us. Statements of five members tho Cabinet, who were present di ing the conversation on tho 14th, a copies of their letters to me, aro < closed." Quoting from Grant's 1 ter, tho President says: "Whon controversy upon matters of f reaches a point to which this has b; brought, farther assertion or der between the immediate parties sho cease, especially where on either s it loses the character of respect discussion, which is required by relations in which the parties sb to each other." After quoting ivgf the President says: "The point that before you changed your vic you had secretly determined to tho very thing which you at last -surrender tho office to Mr. Stant You may have changed your view. I .to tba law, but you certainly did not change your views as to the course j you had marked . ont for yoursolf from the beginning." Tho President argues at some length the legality, of his order to Grant to disregard Stan? ton's orders, making the point that Grant will not obey his direct orders, bat will obejl uu> ibu ir cot orders, tho President concludes: "Without fur? ther comment upon tho insubordi? nate attitude which you haye as Burned, I am at a loss to know how yon can relieve yourself from obedi? ence to the orders of the President, who is made by the Constitution the Commauder-in-Chief -of the army and navy, and is therefore the official superior as well of the General of the Army as of the Secretary of War." The following is the President's letter to the Secretaries present at the 11th of January conversation: "This morning's Chronicle contains the correspondence between the Pre? sident and Gen. Grant, reported from the War Department, in answer to a call from the House, which 'calls attention to the cor resp on de nee-and especially that part relating to the conversations between Grant and the President, and requests a statement of what was said on that occasion." Secretary Welles says: "My recol? lection of the conversation corres? ponds with yonr statement of it, in your letter of the 31st January. The three points specified in that letter, giving your recollection of the con? versation, are correctly stated." Secretary McCulloch says: "I can? not undertake to state tho precise language used, but I have no hesita? tion in saying that your account of that conversation, as given in your letter to Gun. Grant of the 31st, sub? stantially and in all important parti? culars accords with my recollection of it." Seoretary Randall says: "I hav? read carefully tho correspondence ir question, and particularly the lettei of the President to Gen. Grant of th( 31st. The following extract fron that letter is, according to my recol? lection, a correct statement of thc conversation that took place bet weer the President and Gen. Grant, at th? Cabinet meeting on tho 14th of Janu arv." Randall then quotes the Pre sidon t's version. Seward's letter is quite long, giv inga detailed account of his recoll?e tion of what occurred, quoting tin substance of what occurred. Se wan says: "I did not understand Grant a denying nor as explicitly adtnittinf these statements in the form und ful extent to which you made them. Hi admission of them was rather indi root and circumventive. I did no understand it to bo an evasive one.' Seward's letter caused shouts of alter nate derision and incredulity fron the Republicans,* as his cautious nar rut iv i proceeded. Secretary Browning's letter is alsi quite long, and mainly a repetition. Graut has already written a reply opening as follows: "I have th honor to acknowledge tho receipt o your commnnication of the 10th inst, accompanied by statements of fiv Cabinet officers of their reooUectio; of what occurred in Cabinet meetin on the 14th of January. Wi thou admitting anything contained i these statements, where they di fie from anything heretofore stated b me, I propose to notice only thu jrtion of your commumcatio therein I am charged with insuhoi dination." Grant then proceeds t argue the point at some length. Limestone Springs Female Hig School. KEV. WM. CURTIS, LL.D., PRINCIPAL.

AN ascription of praise more worthy the triumphs of art than gilded obelisks, or monuments of stone, is tho voluntary testimony of a grateful people A thou? sand hearts, and as many ready tongues, yield a willing and a thankful tribute of praise to the merits of that incomparable panacea, HEINITSH'S QUEEN'S DELIGHT. These are tho living trophies: "Snatched from the curse disease has brought. To speak thc triumphs skill has wrought." In the brief period of twelve months, ovor 3,000 cases have been treated so suc? cessfully as to entitle it to be the wonder of tho ago. For debility, prostration, nervousness, mental depression, impaired digestion, loss of appetite, restlesness, want of vital force and low spirits, it is more invigorat? ing and strengthening than all tho com? pounds of bark or bitters. As a liver invigorator, it is of inestimable value. As a stimulant, it is safer and surer than all tho ram and whiskey tonics of the day, and if you value your lifo and health a flin's fee, avoid these quickening stimu ants to the gravo and use the Queen's Delight.
