Grant.
We are happy to say that we believe the rumor in circulation yesterday and Sunday, with regard to the death of this man, is altogether without foundation. We cannot afford to loss him just now. Were he killed, the Yankees would attribute to his death the stupendous failure they are about to make, and we wish them to have no apology. Besides, no General has ever played so handsomely into our hands, has exposed the lives of his men so frankly in impossible enterprises, or obtained such small results from such enormous means.--We might be worsted but could not be bettered, and therefore we are unwilling to part with Grant.
