Gen. Grant's Health.
New York, Feb. 20.—Gen. Grant's proposed visit to Norfolk, Va., has been postponed indefinitely. A few days ago he was feeling so well that he thought he would be able to start for Virginia in a few days. However, he has had a relapse, and all day he was scarcely able to leave his bed. Gen. Grant has not yet been able to leave his room, and, although he is considered much better than he had been, he was bolstered up in his big arm-chair all day, not even attempting to walk with the aid of his crutches except from his chair to the bed.
