We reproduce from the Press a sketch of Gen. Grant, from a private letter of Mr. Fred. Law Olmstead:
“He is one of the most engaging men I ever saw. Small, quiet, gentle, modest—extremely, even uncomfortably modest—frank, confiding, and of an excessively kind disposition. He gives you the impression of a man of strong will, the impression of a man of strong will, however, and of capacity underlying these traits. As a general, l should think his quality was that of quick, common sense judgment, unobstructed by prejudice, and deep, abiding, quiet resolution. The openness of mind, directness, simplicity and rapidity of reasoning, and clearness, with consequent confidence, of conclusion, of Gen. Grant is very delightful. Those about him become deeply attached to him.
