New York, December 27.—General Grant, while alighting from a coupe at his residence Monday evening, slipped and fell on his left side, incurring serious injury in the leg below the hip-joint. The surgeons say that no bones are broken, and the supposition is that a bruise of the sciatic nerve has been sustained. The General, immediately after the accident, was put to bed, where he has remained ever since, lying in one position on his back. While the injured leg is most painful, the General's health otherwise is good, and he is even comparatively cheerful under the circumstances.—The surgeons anticipate nothing serious, but at the same time predict it will be several weeks before their patient will be able to leave his house.
