GRANT, the greatest general oi modern limes, who commandedmore men in the field than any leader in the world, had a firm friend in PresidentLincoln, who admired his genius for fighting. After Shiloh, when an almost universaldemand arose for Grants dismissal, Lincoln was his only friend. 1 cant spare thisman; he fights! said Lincoln. The latter never saw Grant until March, 1864, when hehanded the General his commission as Lieutenant-General commanding the United Statesforces. Lincoln liked Grants way of winning battles.

ROBERT E. LEE, who stands among the first of the mighty military commandersof genius the United States has yet produced, had a marvellously successful career until,first, he was beaten back at Gettysburg, and second, he found himself face to face withGrant. He had defeated McClellan in the Peninsula, Burnside at Fredericksburg andHooker at Chancellorsville, but Grant wore his army out in the battles beginning withthe Wilderness.
