The litt artiliery of the troops Ppiaced tn baitery on tne Mouralla, or ram- parts of the fortifications, had beea employed with the greatest activity at tatervais during sun- day and Monday, but with little effect. Sheil, shot and shrapnel were Ored against the City Hall and upon the volunteers manning the parapets of every roof and guthering avout every wiadow of the buiid- ings on the Piaza de san Juan de Dios, Some ugly Wouuds were intictol on the City Hall, a great deal of gi1ss was broken and the faces of the houses mach mutiiated; but it is doubtiu! whether ma.y nen were killed. Some women and children, apparentiy @ Securely placed in interior apartments, were kiiled ot wounded by sueils penetrating to their very asy- lum and bursting therem, and carrying death and Goestruction wiih them. The citizens had on Monday brought down from the saluting batwery, on the ramparts, four oild-(ashioved, long brass twentyiour pounders, mounted on iron carriages, and placed them in position im the streets on either side of the City Hall, bearing on the Puerta del Mar and the troops manning the ra parts. “Shetwo pieces om the right of the City lial were somewhat protected by a barricade of casks Lied With cartn aud square blocks of stone: tou up trom tue Geigian pavement of the square, “doe barneade Wes aot more than taree feet tugh, And oo sight lo be of tse against artulery.

The conversation turning upon the probable rev sults of the Presidential election, General Blair ead that ne was filled with apprehensions for the future. General Grant tsen able and sagacious man and proved himself to be by far the most skilful genoral in the two armies which fought out the great rebel- Hon; but he se'also a very ambitious man and cun- ulng to'the last degree. He bas'an objective point toward which al! his plans and exertions tend, far cievated, in personal aggrandisement, above that ever aimed at by any other American, living or dead. He believed that his modest deportment and tus @ppareut aversion to being lauded and feasted as & hero are: the effects of deep dissimulation and the shrewd measures ofa wily and amoitious man, as- sumed for the purpose of gaining the object sought, General Grant is too wise to raise opposition; he reaches the object he has in view by means: of masterly strategy. He protests agalast being made the recipient of honor and power, confesses his un» worthiness and incompetency to meet the respunsi- bilities sought to be imposed upon him; but ne is fully aware of the limit to which he can carry his modest opposition without incurring the danyer of be- ing takenat hs word, and gractousiy permite himvelf to be dragged into power. His motives in resisting the olfer to make him @ ruler wero simiiar to those which actaated Julius Cwzsar when he thrice refused ‘the Roman crown. When Geueral Grant commanded in the fold he displayed his wiadom and sevured success by uever happening in the way of other ambitious nen, who were for the time being his superiors, Tha was the mistake which proved fatal to tue hopes of many of our military leaders, Waed General MoCiellan was within a few miles of Richmond w.tha large and well appointed army he did not make any attempt to concval his political aspirations. The radicals saw that if he weat tao Richmond they would have to evacuate the White “House in 1865. He thus excited nis opponents tao action. His plans were defeated and he was overe thrown. He afterwards made a bid fgr the repunll- can nomination by writing ® letter declariug as his opiuion that s'avery ought to be abulished a8 a military necessity in his district. This bold stroke was parried by President Lincoln, who appropriated all his thunder, abolished slavery in every district, and cut off Generai McClellan's oMicial head. General Graat never committed such bluuders; his manase- ment was so skilful that he obiiged others to per form, seemingly against his wisnes, the very sere vices for the attaimument of which he had been manwuvring. i Having veen asked what got of General Grant's could be selected to furnish a falt proof of the daa- gerous ambition iat Geaeral Blair thought he pos- sessed he replied that the very position be now 00+ cupiod was an uonustakabie indication of it.
