destined to be the of the times this moment ex-
citing the profound attention of the world. Weread Fanny
Buffers description of him. the accounts of travellers who

should be spared and his brave spirit should be permitted
to display all its energies it is to be hoped that he will
stamp his name upon the church and the age of
its wses rmest, most liberal beneacors We shall con-

as may be calculated to illustrate his character and de-
monsate the services he is rendering We clip the fol-

"Leters from Bologna of the 9Th inst announce that the
Pope had issued decreesthe one authorizing the
nation of national guard on the French principle through

"Saye from my friends" is the motto which critic
OF the New York Evening Post adopts, who comments
upon the scene OF the celebration OF the 4th July IN Gen
Taylors camp.
On that occasion, Lieut. Fuller, of the Massachusetts,
regiment gave in the presence of the commanding gene
raj, this toast:
Gen. Taylor; We hail him the President. May
his civil be as brilliant as his military career"
II seems that this sentiment was drunk with three
times three and that Gen. Taylor acknowledged the
compliment at once, and declared that if his fellow
comtrymen think proper to elevate (bim to distn
gushed and honoabea position, he) certainly shall do
(hs best TO discharge the duties OF that responsible posi-
ton faithfully p modestly adding, If any other candi-
date preferred and offered who may be competent
than myself need not say that shall acquiesce most
cheerfuly in their decision" etc, etc
The correspondent of the Post" does not approve the
reply of the General given to the toast OF subordinate,
such subject, such day, and in the midst OF has
soldiers. Let this be it may; for my own part, !
consider camp the Objectionable OF all places for
nominating candidate TO the presidency. Few things
appear 10 be in much TASTE than TO have com
handing general in the midst of war, the midst OF his
camp and to his face, nominated TO the highest office IN
the republic

was hailed by his triumphant egons as the head Of the

An anecdote is going the rounds of the papers, that
Mr Edward Bates, of Missouri, the president of the
Chicago convention, said he had never seen railroad
When he emgrated, in 1912, to the French village of
u,s called St Louis, which has now fifty thousand in
nbitants, he obliged to hire guard against hostile
ayages to accompany him across the unbroken wilder
ness which is the State of Illinois, with civilized
population OF six hundred thousand freemen..
We cannot doubt that the anecdote is true. We pre-
sumo there many citizens in the west who have never
seen railroads for, twenty years ago, there were only
two very short railroads in the United Statesone at
Boston, the other at Mauch Chunk We notice the cir
msance, however, to remark, that all these railroads
which have been since erected have started up without
any OF the hot bed influence of Chicago convention
and without the assistance of the funds of the federal
government We are indebted for the whole to the
agency of the State governments the force of ind
vdua enterprise. There is power in the general con-
tuon TO justify the application OF federal funds to the
improvement OF rivers the establishment of railroads
and il is fortunate that there other MEANS when
properly exerted, to accomplish these objects
