Stealing a Soldiers Honors.

We commend the following extract from
the correspondence Of the Cleveland Herald,
to those locofoco papers which are trying to
rob Winfield Scott of his well-earned honors
at Lundy's Lane. The Buffalo Courier, we
regret 10 notice, is not alone is this unwor-
thy effort:
In reading this afternoon Gen. Browns
official report Of the battle of Niagara, |
particular noticed portion of it which
shows that Scott and his command bore the
heat and burden of that day; and which eff
fectually "gives the lie to the SANDER" of the
Buffalo Courier and other Locofoco prints.
In the Courier of the 23d we find the follow
ing:
"As we have heretofore remarked; we
wish not TO deprive Gen. Scott of single
laurel that he has justly earned. But we do
say, that the assumption Of credit which is
made for him by his indiscreet friends, in
connection with the battle of Lundy's Lane,
is one of the most impudent things of the
campaign. Second in command and I'M
fortunate in his attack upon the enemy, and
not distinguished for bravery in the battle
above Ripley, Miller, Jessup, and the other
officers, 1t is species Of petit larceny-an
attempt to rob the graves of the dead, as
well as to steal from the reputation of the
living, to give to the Wing leader all the glo-
ny Of that achievement"
Gen. Brown in his letter to Hon. John
Armstrong, Secretary of War, dated Buff
falo, August 1914, says:
Though Gen. Ripley with the second
brigade, Major Hindman with the corps of
artillery, and General Porter at the head of
his command, had respectively pressed for
ward with ardor, it was not less than an
hour before they were brought to sustain
Gen. Scott, during which time his command
most skilfully and CALAMITY maintained the
conflict.
The reader can judge to what credit Gen.
Winfield Scott is entitled; and most men
will believe the statement of Gen. Brown,
rather than those of editors who seek ste
steal from the reputation of the living" for
partisan purposes. M.

Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad.

1t gives us great pleasure to be able (says
the St. Joseph Gazette of the 2Sth inst. to
announce to our readers that this great and
important work was yesterday put under
contract by the President and Directors of
the company.
The length of the line will slightly cx-
coed 200 miles, passing through a country
highly favorable, and of unparalleled fertil-
ty. We understand the terms of the con-
tract are highly advantageous; the road 10
be completed with cars, engines, and every
thing in complete order, in four years.
The means of the company being ample,
and the well known enterprise and expert
ence of the contracting party, (Messrs,
John Duff s. Co, of Boston, Mass leaves
no reasonable doubt of the ultimate compile
ton of the work within the time specified
in the contract. 1t is the intention of the
contractors to commence the Eastern anc
Western Divisions of the road, (25 mile,
at each eHd) as soon as definite location
can be made.

Cutting Both WAYS.

The Warsaw Review, a big little Locofo-
co sheet, after congratulating itself upon the
result of the late election generally, says:
"But there is dark murky cloud hanging
over some Of our pretended Democratic
friends, owing to their traitorous conduct in
the late election. We allude TO the Third
District, and to the sacrifice of James S.
Green. How gentlemen, or those profess
ing TO be such, who have pledged themselves
in District Convention to support the nomi-
nee for Congress, and then turn about, and
without any new developments or excuse,
trample that pledge under foot-how such
can expect 10 be recognised as democrats in
futere, is more than we can tell. We say,
down with all such false-hearted renegades
we allude TO the leaders-to those in the
Third District, protesting 10 be democratic
leaders, who have given their voice and in
iluence, whether of the press or from the
stump, to the election of the notorious wing,
John G. Miller, over the talented James S.
Green.
Southwest Missouri, with more unanim-
ity than any other portion of the State, con-
demncd as traitors 10 the party, those dem
ocrats who voted for Mr.. Geyer for the Sc
nate. Yet they will be found as ready and
swift TO put their seal of condemnation upon
those who have been traitors in 1852, and
assisted in the election of John G. Miller.
In fact there is less excuse for the latter
than the former"
If the Review kills off all the democrats
and their friends who voted for Miller, and
all the Antics and their friends who traitor
ousI y voted for Geyer, we want to know
what kind of party it will have left. 1t
seems that voting for Miller, however, was
the objectionable offence, and those who SO
voted, cannot expect "to be recognised as
Democrats in future"

Wiliams') district, Notwithstanding the
pronunciamento of our respected Congress
man," he adds, "Scott's majority will be
larger than Taylor's."
A Wing candidate for elector, writing
from Green castle, Kentucky says:
"The nominations of Scott and Graham
are well received here, inspiring great con-
fidence and enthusiasm in the Wing ranks
and scattering dismay among the Locos.-
SCOTS majority in this State will be large
OF that there is no doubt"
The Wings of Dayton, Ohio, week OF

SENATE.--The bill for a ship canal
around the Saute St. Marie came UP and
was debated in committee. After an inef-
tectual attempt to attach the Homestead bill
TO it and the bill distributing the public lands
among the States by way of amendment, the
bill was reported to the Senate.
An amendment increasing the amount OF
land granted, 100000 acres, was agreed to
and the bill ordered to be engrossed.
The bill granting land to the INDECENT in

The bill for ship canal around Saute

The River and Harbor Bill was then TAX

from the Mississippi river to the Gulf oil
Mexico, being under consideration, Mr.
Cass said he was in favor of the bill as il
stood, and opposed to any additional appro.
priations to.it would endanger its passage.
Shortly after the Senate adjourned.
HousE.-The Wheeling Bridge case was
taken up. Curtis opposed, Allen advocated
its passage.
MIR. STEWART, to test the sense of the
House, moved the previous question, but
pending some remarks, the morning hour
expired, and the House went into Commit.

that not one Wing paper in the State will
