'sTelI it not in Gath''-Th Public Mon
ey- Where il gees 10!

The Legislative documents just received
from Columbus, bring to light the extraor-
dinary fact, that over HALF A MILLION
Of the public funds called for and paid by
the people, have been taken from the Treas
ury Of Ohio and are now loaned by the
Auditor and Treasurer of State for the con-
venience aud benefit of Railroad Monopo-
lies in central and southern Ohio! These
funds, be il remembered, belonged to the
surplus revenue, and were taken from the
Treasury at the very moment when the
State Auditor was issuing his circulars (in
the summer of 1856, } to the various coun-
ties of Ohio, informing the Commissioners
that the necessities of the State and the con-
ditlon of the Treasury demanded STILL
GREATER LEVY OF TAXES!
This single transaction, which through
the vigilance of Senator Hatch, was drag
ged before the Legislature and has been
strangely allowed to slumber there, is but
a chance illustration of the manner in
which the interests and convenience Of
THE PEOPLE are made subseryient to
the MONOPOLY POWER of the State.
No law and no authority exist for reloaning
these.funds after being once returned to the
Treasury. If they had not been needed
for State purposes, the taxes should have
been lessened to that extent SO long as these
funds remained on hand. But under no
circumstances, had tho State officers author
ity to entrust the public funds to Railroad
Companies, whose bonds, like the notes Of
the Urbaaa Banking Company, night be
par hen the loan was made, and yet worth
nothing when they were called upon to re-
fund. -TrumbaH Democrat.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
IT. The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by a resolution OF
that body, g to invite plans accompanied by esti-
mates for the extension of the Capitol, and to al
low premium Of five hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings of the two Houses of Congress, .
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, TO be
delivered to the Secretary OF the Senate on or be-
fore the first day of December next.
| II is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Capitol
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south of the present building, or by the
erection of separate and distinct building within
the enclosure TO the east of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise OF
architectural taste and judgment, but they would
| prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference TO and correspondence with
the present building as to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete
Although but one plan can be adopted, the com
miee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts of different plans
submitted, should such course be found necessary. in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide or apportion, according
TO their own judgment, the amount of premium TO
be awarded for the whole, TO those whose plans
may in part be adopted, according to the relative
importance and merit of each part adopted

THE GALLERY OF TLLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Dagueneotypcs by Brady--Engraved by
D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
llusrious in the service Of the country Every por
ton of the work will receive the most careful atten
ton, and nothing will be spared to render il worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men o! the Re
public.
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense IN collecting Portraits tor National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed TO be superior TO any that have
been taken In the accomplishment. of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Bradys
reputation has been too long established TO need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes in the
highest sense the works ot art, glowing with the soul
OF the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste to be fully
equal and in respects superior to those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The typography will he exc
cued as carefully and In as superb style as the en-
cravings themselves The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % schcs rade
expressly for this purpose
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names of those only are admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partments of life viii have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great men OF the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend of our glorious mon, viii respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in so ocommendable
undertaking, that lis publication may make
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
illnsrious OF the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyondthe reach of most OF our citizens the publish
crs have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
