The above question has ceased to agitatc
the public mind, and has been superseded
BIZ the Inquiry. "who was the hero of the
Black Hawk war?n The Argus has COM
mruccd the publication of the account
given Of that war in Furd's History of
Illinois. which denies the pretensions of
Senator Dodge to the title. The author
asserts that Gen. DODGE has for the last
fifteen or twenty Years usurpcd the lau-
relS which rightfully belonged to Gen.
Henry, and that he has been 'conscient-
jously OF the opinion that Gen. Dogde
was not, and that Gen. Henry was. emit
tied to thc credit of being the hero of the
Black Hawk war"
Gov. Ford accounts for the wrong inn
precision which has obtained in this wise.
One Doctor Phll!eo belonged to DoDGE'S
battalion, who was also the Editor of the
Gaicniau, the only newspaper then pub
liShcd north Of Springfield in Illinois or
Wisconsin. In this paper the war home
% his paper, he always made Dodge play
the most prominent part in every advcn-
ture or battle. His performances were
chronicled and magniiied. He was made
to appear as the commander of the whole
brigade, instead of single battalion.
Henry, Atkinson and Taylor, were made
to appear subordinate, and were quite OBJ
scurcd by the more shining qualities of
Gen. Dodge. The author says:
The world loves to be humbugged.
This dciusion was of immense advantage
to General Dodge, for, although he was a
man Of very high merit, yet he would
have been more fortunate than thousands
OF others, equally merituous, if this dclu-
sion did not assist much in getting the
great name. he afterwards obtained"
Such is Gov. Ford's version.

lions Of dollars were appropriated to Tex
rs, without shadow Of claim on her

mentioned to prevent it. This year ten

for property comparatively worthless,

take care of itself or go uncared for.
We wonder if when our fathers made

was an instrument powerful for nothing
