Graut and kee. General Grant is now a candidato for the Olli ef Magia tracy, and bis claims to that office, being based upon his assumed military greatness, it ia but fair to show that whatever good qualities he may possess, and owever superior ho may be to the feeble commanders ,who preceded him, he does not fill the measure of military greatness. We have had some experience be? fore of running succsesful Generals for $he Presidency; but their achieve .ments were, in this particular, a great contrast to those of General Grant. General Jackson won his brilliant victory at New Orleans with 7,000 men against a British army of 12,000. General Taylor had but about 6,000 men at Buena Vista, and the Mexicans twice or thrice that number. General Scott had 8,500 at Cerro Gordo, the Mexicans 12,000. Tho splendid victory of Contreras was achieved by Scott with 4,500 against 12,000 Mexicans.' General Scott, in his report to the Secretary of War, speaking of tho battle in front of Mexico, said: "And I as? sert, upon accumulated and unques? tionable evidence, tbat in not one of these conflicts was the army opposed by fewer than three and a half times ito numbers-in several of them by a yet greater excess." If it be said that Grant had disadvantages of ground and position to encounter in advancing through an enemy's coun? try, the same is equally true of Scott, who, nevertheless, with great? ly, inferior nnmbers, advanced rapid? ly from triumph to triumph, while Grant, operating with superior num? bers against a nearly exhausted foe, required a whole year to capture Bichmond, which finally succumbed to exhaustion rather than to military genius. The following is an authentic state? ment of the respective forces and losses of Generals Grant and Lee be? tween the.Bapidan and the James: Grant on assuming command, May 4, 1864, had of effective men besides the reserve, when he crossed the Espidan, 125,000. Lee at the same date had an effec? tive force of 52,000. Grant's reinforcements, up to the battle of Cold Harbor, June 3, were 97,000. Lee's reinforcements, up to the same date were 18,000. Grant's total force, including rein? forcements, was 222,000. Leo's total force, including rein? forcements, was 70,000. Retama to their respective Go? vernments showed that when both armies had reached the James, June 10, the number of Grant's army that had been put hors du combat, was 117,000. TJp to the same date, the number of Lee's men who bad been put hors du combat, was 19,000. The two armies then met in front of Petersburg. The opening Presidential campaign may result in placing Gen. Grant in tho Presidential chair, but it -will have another result. It will subject his military campaigns to a rigid sorutiny, and open up the -whole his? tory of his conduct of the war. Facts of which the Northern masses are now ignorant, will be brought to light, and they will come to under? stand that the commander whom they so much extol, succeeded not because of his genius or skill, but because failure was impossible. His enemy had dwindled to a handful, while his own numbers and resources were boundless. Suppose he had failed; what would have been tho verdict of the Northern people? All former failures would have been vic? tories compared with that. He headed a muster of tho nation, and had at command its whole treasure and all its resources. [Richmond \\7iig. IMMIGRATION TO THE SOUTH. -We have made arrangements with Dr. W. H. Letterman to furnish us a series of communications on the soil, climate, health, productions, geolo ?y, &c, of Virginia, North and outh Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, North Alabama and North Missis? sippi. He has been for some time professionally engaged in making careful geological surveys of this most interesting section of the coun? try. His reports will contain much valuable information. For the benefit of our subscribers at the South, North and West, we will take great pleasure in dissemi? nating any more detailed informa? tion, sent to this office, which may be mutually beneficial to those who have oheap Southern .lauds for sale, pr who desire to move from the - more sterile but higher-priced lauds of the North and West, to the cheap? er but more productive lands of tho South. We do not propose to act as agents for the purchase and salo of lands, but merely to contribute our part in n good work, by putting buyers and sellera in communication with each other-hoping that thereby much benefit may result to all parties, and to the country generally.
