teen millions OF acres more or less to aid the State,

lions of acres, granted to the State at the last

maintained That economy required prompt steps to
be taken IL this government would avert series
of wars like that Of Florida.
Mr.. TOOMBS rose and spoke n, length in rela-
ton to the expenditures OF the army, which had
increased TO an alarming extent, while there had
been no corresponding increase in the army itself.
Referring to the desire Of the Committee Of Ways
and Means 10 reduce the expenditures, he said that
communication had been had with the proper off
GERS Of the War Department, but they expressed
the opinion that the estimates could not be re-
duced. The committee then determined to strike
at the estimates in the gross. He referred to the
immense increase of expenditures in the Quarter
masters department, and stated that every soldier
in New Mexico and California cost 81 900 per
year. He was for leaving the defence Of the ter
rItories to the people. The employment Of vol
unteers was not ms is sometimes alleged the most
expensive system of defence. Formerly, men
who wanted liberty, were able to defend them
selves. The people of Oregon and California do
not want mercenaries to defend them. Three
fourtbs Of our soldiers nre foreigners, from which
1t would seem that our people are unable to defend
themselves. Such men dangerous to our lib
critics. Standing armies should not be supported
except at the lowest possible staadard.
Mr.. BURT regarded his position one Of great
difficulty and delicacy. If he could have any pur-
pose in view aside from the faithful discharge Of
public duty, that purpose would be to restrict the
power Of the government and especially The mill
tary power. He had inquired of himself and his
friends, whether the performance Of his duties
upon the Committee on Military Affairs were in
compatible with his position. Had he thought 20,
he should have resigned place which was con-
ferred without his knowledge or wish. Mr.. Il.
would assure the committee and the country, that
bis course in this matter had been controlled by
considerations solely referabe TO the public inter-
est. lie had never been placed in position where

USING UP THE PIG.-Coeridge declared that
in Cologne he ''counted two-and seventy stenches,
all well defned'' How many he might have de-
tected in Cincinnati is matter of curious conjec-
ture. Although admirably suited for sewerage, and
abundantly wealthy, it is par with the old
towns of Europe in the barbarism of open drains,
with undisguised tributaries from every yard and
dwelling Typhus and cholera are there, as in
quarters nearer Bow-bells, less dreaded than lit

to be about $4,000, including, probably, the two
villages on the opposite bank of the Ohio which, TO
all intents and purposes, are part of it. or this

Septembers comet
The sober Autumn. with face serene.
Smiles bland adeu to Summer, like queen
Discussing a gay favorIe; the hum
vi bird and bee is still upon the breeze,
And though no leaves are fallen from the trees
Septembers come!
By the sea side
Sitnow, when morn is mellow and the shells
All white beneath your feet, seem tinklipg bells
FUN OF the drowsy murmur of the tide;
While sweeping of the winds, all sad and low
Chords In the nourniul harmony, as though
Some spirit sighed.
Ay! summer things!
Well may you tune together all your notes
10 pour sound of mourning from your Threats;
For brieier even than the reign of kings
Is your swift booming; cease your busy hum;
Droop summer insects; for September's come
To close your wings!
Now hours and days
Go rolling by, and weeks away recede,
so noiseessly that we may scarcely read
The calm, slow change of nature as we gaze
Until the speeding season yellows DER,
And we look round for what was green before
With fond amaze.
Still, need we sigh?
That bright season passes on its way,
Nhile newness only springs from old decay?
Why mourn we over what has lallen-why?
While the old lesson chases us from youth,
Unheeded till we bow before its truth,
That all must die.
Yet are there some
Bright hues of summer left to gid the scene;
And long shall linger YET the summer green,
While DER the glowing land the drowsy hum
OF insect voices, mournfully in night,
Sings fainter, lower to their old delight
September's come!
