A NEW IMPLEMENT OF wAR.-Mr. Brown, an in
genious engineer, from Illinois, and formerly of
Massachusetts, has laid before the board of naval
officers, and also the President, a plan for the
construction of a steamship of war, that will be
perfectly secure against shot of any kind or
weight. Several very scientific officers having
examined the plan, pronounce the opinion that it
will be entirely efficient for its object. The ves-
sci may be armed in the usual manner, or as the
inventor proposes, with new and patent element
of destruction-liquid fre-which, by steam
power, is to be discharged from the vessel, and
thrownto anypoint, andto aconsiderable distance.
This latter peculiarly probably consists in an ap-
paratus for projecting stream of hot and ignited
spirits of turpentine, by the force of its own elias.

THE GREAT WEST IN COMMO TION.

The shabby treatment of Western members
and the worse than shabby neglect of the grea
interests of the West by the present Congress
has awakened the general indignation ofthe peo
pie, without respect of party, throughout the
Lake region and the Mississippi valley. "The
great West is in commoton," and Justly so.-
Not single measure of any importance to the
West, but what has been defeated, either by the
acts of Southern Diplomacy, or the aid of a
Southern President. Oregon was basely sur
rendered to the British, after declaring that sour
title was clear and unquestionabe;" the West
ern Land Graduation Bill was thrown overheard;
and last, though not least, comes the Harbor Ap-
preparation bill, which, after slumbering foI
months in the hands of Southern Committee,
was brought forward only to serve purposes o
gross deception, passed and went into the hands
of the President, where it lay until its mission o
fraud was consummated; then it was deliberately
throued by an Executive veto. And this is
called the most provoking mockery ofour rights

OFFICIAL ECoNOMY.-The management of the
War Department, in carrying out the details con-
nected with the operations of the army, appears
to be marked by continued ineffciency and ex-
uavagance. A fresh evidence to this effect is ad-
duced in the annexed extract from New Orleans
letter of the 7th instant:
A large ship from Philadelphia brought car
go of these wagons, which were landed some time
since, and after laying exposed TO our tropical
sun on the Levee for eight or ten days, splitting
and cracking, with their wheels and springs, the
same ship is chartered to reload them for the
Rio Grande, at a freight double that from Phila-
delphia-at least double what it ought to be from
thence though think it probable there, as well as
here, the Government pay at least double what
individuals would. Iti really enough to disgust
any body to see the manner the whole affair is
being conducted; and the way they are going on,
the Treasury, even after issuing the ten millions
of Treasury Notes, will be bankrupt before Con-
gress again meets.
The same letter says: The Government funds
are entirely exhausted here not only in the hands
of the dsbursing officers, but in the deposit bank
where they run down to a very low figure

A SAMPLE OF THE WAR EXPENSES.

Government StOreS.-The steamer Archer
will leave here to-day (the 31st) for Fort Lea
venworth, with three hundred barrels of pork,
and twelve hundred sacks of flour, for the use OF
the army in the expedition against Santa Fe.-
The pork was purchased al ten dollars barrel
and the flour at ten dollars and eighty cents a
sack, each sack containing one hundred pounds.
The pork is carried to Fort Leavenworth for one
dollar barrel, and the flour at thirty-seven and
a half cents a sack. The transportation of a bar
rel of pork from Fort Leavenworth to Bent's
Fort will be about five dollars, and the prime cost
and transportation to Santa Fe will make each
and every barrel cost the Government ffiy-three
dollars; at this rate the three hundred will cost
fifteen thousand nine hundred dollars. At the
same rate of transportation, a sack of flour will
cost in Santa Fe eighteen dollars and seventeen
cents, the twelve hundred twenty-five thousand
four hundred and forty dollars; making the total
cost of about eghtyfve tons ofprovisions, thirty
eight thousand three hundred and forty dollars
about enough TO ration an army of one thou
sand men twenty days. And, by this same rule,
ifit will cost near fifteen hundred dollars per day
to furnish one thousand men in meat and bread
alone, what will it cost to furnish all the me-
cessaries which soldiers use and are obliged to
have during the time of war-and what will TWEEN.
ty thousand men consume and destroy! AT the
same rate the sum would be enormous.-St

RERR MEETING.

About 10 o'clock on Tuesday last Mr.. BEBB,
the Wing candidate for Governor, reached this
place. During the remainder of the forenoon he
was busily engaged in receiving and conversing
with our citizens. Our friends from the coun-
try began to assemble, and eagerly paid their
respects to their distinguished guest, who receiv-
ed them with the frank cordality of Buckeye.
At 1 O'Clock the citizens assembled in the Court
house. The meeting was called to order by ap-
pointing John Riley, ESQ.,, President, John
Shober and Samuel Semple, Vice Presidents, g.
Joseph Doll, Secretary. After few prelimina-
ry remarks by Mr.. Upham, of New Lisbon, Mr..
Bebb took the stand and addressed the meeting
for the space of about three hours, in the most
happy vein of thought it has ever been our for
tune to listen to. His arguments were so clear,
comprehensive, and convincing that none could
fail to understand them; his language so courte-
Gus that none could feel offended. Would that
every voter of Carroll had heard Mr.. Bebb on
Tuesday last, as he portrayed with master
hand the prohigacy-nay, the villainy, so long
practiced by the Board of Public Works-how
those bood-suckers of the State Treasury were
retained in Office after their peculatons had been
made known to the Legislature-how the State
debt had swelled from five and half to nearly
twenty millions of dollars in eight years, and
that too, after the Ohio Canal, from Portsmouth
to Cleveland, and the Miami canal, from Dayton
to Cincinnati, had been comPleted-the inevta'
BILE and widespread ruin which must necessari
ly follow the destruction of the Banking institu.
tions of the State-the blghting effects of the
Sub-Treasury, and the destruction of the Tariff
upon the commerce and industry of the country;
and, finally, the absurd, yea, ridiculous position
occupied by the so called Liberty Party. His
address throughout was one of uncommon inter
est, and was listened to with profound attention
1t cteated for him host of friends who will use
all the honorable exertions men are capable o
using, to place him in the Gubenatorial chair O
Ohio.

AUGUST ELECTIONS.

We have not, as yet, received the official re-
turns from any of the elections which "come off,
during this month. Enough, however, has been
ascerained to enable us to form an estimate of
the result in most of the States. The official re-
turns may vary somewhat from the following
statement; but will not materially change the po-
sition of the respective parties:
NORTH CAROLINA.-William A. Graham, the
present Wing Governor, has been reelected by
majority of about 5000. Both branches of the
Legislature will be Wing: the majority on joint
ballot being about 90; thus securing the election
of two United States Senators;-one to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation of the Hon. w.
II. Haywood and the other in place of the Hon.
W. P. Mangum, whose term of service will ex-
pire on the Sd of March next.
KENTUcKY.-The Wing majority, on Joint bal.
lot, in the Legislature of Kentucky is upwards o.
40. We believe that the Locofocos have no
been able to elect single Senator this year, ant
only 26 Representatives.
iNDIANA.-The Indianapolis Sentinel (Locofo
COY claims that the majority for Gov. Whitcoml
is between two and three thousand; and that thu
Locofocos have a majority of two in the Senate
it admits, however, that the Wings have major
ity of six in the House Of Representatives; Civ
ing them majority of four on joint ballot. In
formation from other sources induce us to believe
that there will be tie in the Senate, and Whis
majority of eight in the House. The returns
so far, indicate that the people have decided IL
favor of calling convention to revise the Con
stitution of the State.
ILLINoIs.-The returns from this State are still
conflicting and uncertain. tits, however, admttet
on all sides that the Wings have elected one, an
the regular Locofocos four members of Congress
Robert Smith, independent Locofoco, is electe
in the first District, over Lyman Trumbull, tn
regular candidate. In the remaining District tn
result is uncertain; the candidates, however, ar
both Locofocos, and it is Of little consequence
which succeeded. The Locofoco candidates TO
Governor and Lieut.. Governor are elected D.

large majoriics. We can form no estimate in
regard 10 the probable strength Of parties in the
Legislature; bat why waste words about ill the
State is largely Locofocoi "EPhraim is welded
To his idols" and We will let him alone.
MlsSoURI.-The Locofocos have elected four
members Of Congress from this State, and, we
think. ivei have carried the Legislature by large
maorities in both branches and, from present APP
peaunces, we think, have not carried the new
Constitution. Sothaihard moneyism is TOO hard
for Missouri Locoiocoism to swallow.
ARKANsAs.-We have but few returns from
this State. Robert w. Johnson, Locofoco, is
elected to Congress without opposition. The
same party have undoubtedly carried the Legis.
lature by overwhelming majonties; if the Wings
have been able to raise a"Corporal's Guard, - we
shall feel agreeably disappointed.
lowA.-The returns from this Territory lead
us to believe that the new Constitution has been
adopted at the late election. This, we believe,is
the third time the same constitution has been thrust
uponthe citizens of Iowa; already twice reectedby
calm and rejecting people, it is still pressed up
on them by factious minority, who have man.
aged to secure the control of the Legislature, and
have now managed to secure the adoption of their
bantling. Iowa may, therefore, be regarded as q
State, and might have been such year ago, had
she no, rejected the same Constitution which she
has recently adopted.

Proclaim it to the World,

That DR.. Mazoni's Sicilian Syrup, or Tropical Hy-
gene will cure seven out of every ten cases of con-
sumption. Read the following statement from ve-
nv respectable citizen of Carrollton, Ohio:
SHTTING OF BLoOD.-This is to certify that my
wife has been for some years afflicted with pain in
the breast and side, accompanied with harrassng
cough, and all of the concomitant symptoms of con-
sumption. A short time since while on visit to her
friends in New Lisbon, while coughing, about three
O'Clock in the morning, she ruptured a large blood
vessel of the lungs from which she lost nearly quart
of blood before medical assistance could be obtained
The bleeding for the present was arrested but she
was so much reduced that fatal issue was expected.
About twelve O'Clock the bleeding returned but was
again arrested by the ordinary remedies AT b o.
clock it again returned with increased YoenceWhen
all hopes of her surviving through the night had fled
In vain were all the usual remedies resored to again
arrest the hemorrhage, and being nearly hopeless
there was no hopes that she would another rising
sun. AS last resort, at this eventful PERIOD DR.
Mazoni's highly celebrated Siciian Syrup or Tropi-
cal Hygiene was obtained and administered. And
most astonishing to relate in the short space of five
minutes the bleeding subsided, her cough gradually
abated, and by continuing the use of it, there has
been no hemorrhage since. She is now rapidly i'm
proving by its agency and contrary to the expecta-
tons of herself she promises well for speedy reco-
very. make this statement, that Others alike sui
ferng may be likewise benefited by the use OF this
invaluable and unequaed remedy for this most fright
full and fatal disease CHARLES ELSON.

A Y0ING CAN

widow Fife, about SIX or seven years Of age, a
few days since, killed his brother, aged about
three months, whilst his mother was absent on
an eTand 10 a neighbor. We learn from the
Banner that
Upon returning, the child was missing, and
after searching while for il was found laid away
in some bushes near the yard, with its head CASH
ed in two or three places. The boy when inter-
rogated upon the subject, replied that the child
had fallen out Of the door and when going out
himself he accidentally let the axe fall on il that
he was holding in his hand. Although there is
no positive evidence TO prove him guilty Of in
iennonal murder, yet the jury Of inquest was un-
anlmous in the opinion that such was his inten-

ReSOlUed, That this meeting is in favor of hard
money, and opposed to ALL systems Of banking
tohateUer-systems ALL false in theory, and per-
nicious in practice.
And yet, in the face of such open avowals,
there are men in almost every community, who
profess to be friendly to banks, who will vote for
the candidates of the party, pledged to their de-
struction. Strange it is that men will act so in
consistent Urbaaa Gazette.

THE DOUGHFACES AT THEIR VOCA-
TI0N

The Statesman ventured, few days since, to
speak but what it felt to be the universal senti-
ment of the West in regard to the outrage perpe-
trated by the President in vetoing bill providing
for the improvement of our western rivers and
lakes, notwithstanding the fact that such appro-
prations have received the sanction of every
President down to John Tyler, and after having
demanded FIFTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
to sustain and defend the Texas iniquityl 1t
said, what every man knows to be true, that Mr..
Polk has been false and perfdious in his course
towards his followers, and the whole people of
the West, and proved himself the instrument of
the pro-slavery South. We did not suppose that
sucha an honest and thoughtful expression of SEN
timent would be tolerated by the train-bands Of
the administration, however much called for by
the actual state of the case, hence we were not
surprised at meeting with the following resolu-
ton adopted at Locofoco meeting held at New
ark, on Saturday last. This resolution bespeaks
your truculent doughface and spokesman in eve-
ry line, and shows what is to be hoped for by the
West, should the country continue under Loco
foco rule:
Resolved, That we deprecate the stand taken
by the Ohio Statesman, against the administra
ton, and however tolerant we ought to be towards
one another for an honest difference of opinion
vet we cannot but condemn and disapprove the
spirit which characterizes that papers opposition
to the President.
