/. AN EULOGY.-

The confirmation of his appointment by the
Senate Of the United States, is an eulogy on
the Democracy, qualification, ability and tai
emit Of Hon. A. G. Dodge, that should put to
the blush tho opposition press which has 80
eontemptibiy sought to tarnish his fair name;
and it 10 IN euloEy, too, that places his nams
In bold characters upon the lists of honor,
whore We have confidence it will remain
bright and unsulli"d, leng after his traducers
have been blotted from existence and their
names forgottea.-[Fairfsld Sentinel.
We know Of "an sulogy" that operated
upon the mind of him Of the Sentinel with
much more force in favor Of Senator Dod2s's
democracy, qualification, ability and talent,
than even this wonderful s:confrmation.''
The Sentinel, since We first saw it last fall,
till within short time, has been filed with
government advertisements. which, so far as
any bane6ts were to be derived from their
publication, might just ~ well have been
published in China or the Sandwich Islands.
Yet that paper, for months did not contain =
column of reading matter, and hardly any
thing else besides these Government Adver-
tisements. Even tho last number, the one
from which the above is extracted, contains
quite number of laws ssby authority" and
to show how important their publication is,
in an Iowa inland paper, it is only necessary
to give their title-a resolution allowing
additional compensation to the Clerks in
the Census Bureau" GA resolution respect
ing the Arctic expedition, . can Act to change
the name of the American built vessels j. H.
Holmes and Franklin Pierce" can Act to
incorporate st. Josephs Male ORR han Asylum
in the District Of Columbia, )" can Act chang
ing the appropriation for the erection of q
building in the city Of Milwaukee for GUS
tom house," and can Act for the relief Of
the West Fsliciana Railroad and the Georgia
Railroad and Banking Companies The
Sentinel has thus, at the hand of Hon. A. C.
Dodge, been fed at the public crib on the
pretemse Of paying for public Advertising
But for all essential purposes, the money
might just as we'll have been taken from the
treasury and donated.
The way we look at it, the admiration, ex-
pressed ADORE, for Senator Dodge, cost the
people just about one hundred dollars per
line, and taking the cost into the account the
"Eulogy" il poor affair. Try again!

THE BRITISH Army IN Tue CaIMEA.-In a
debate in the British House Of Commons on
the Goth ult., Mr.. Roebeck said: "We had
sent $4,000 soldiers, properly equipped, who
had done all they could to uphold the honor
Of the country. At present, there were not
more than 10000 British bayoncts before
Sabastopol. What had become of the 49,
600? He believed that tho condition of tho
army had been brought about by the inca.
pacity, at home and abroad, Of those whose
duty it was to minister to its wants.,

CO JESSE ID. BRIGHT, the new President
Of the Senate, is a citizen Of Indiana, bu,
owns a large farm and a number Of slaves in
Kentucky.
STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS, although Senator
in Congress from the Free State of Illinois,
III owns farm in . Southern State, to-
gether with something over ahundrsd slaves,
il we are not mistaken in the number.
1t is pretty we'll understood that an invest
ment in human chattlss pays about the poor
est Of any other investment-say on an aver
age of or 4 per cent. per annum, while
money in Indiana, Illinois or Iowa is quick
at ten to fifteen per cent. Even distilling is
a more profitable and just about as reputable
business as slave breeding. How does it
happen that these Senators are thus situated.
Has the South bought them up with plant
alton, or have they purchased into the brsi
ness to safety tho South Of their soundness
and secure Presidential votes from that quar-
ter!

LIEUT.. GENERAL Scorr.-Everybody seems
to be gratifed that Gen. Scott is now a Lieut..
General. The correspondent Of the ''Tri-
bune'' writes
Col. Preston's house is crowded to- night
BY the friends of the commander n Chief
Gen. Shields and Judge Douglas both cleo
t'oneered in the House in favor Of comforting
the title. Upon ascertaining the vote, Col.
Preston drove to the War Department, where
he announced the intelligence to Scott. The
General dropped his head for moment, and
tears were seen trickling down his cheek
His reply was worthy of his fame, and was
precisely as follows &c Let no man say
hereafter, that his country is ungrateful to one
who has served her faithfully"
The resolution comforting the rank, it is
said, will give General Scott about $4,000
back pay, and about ST. 900 additional year.

thus showing the confidence reposed in them
by business men in that city.
This house has been relieved of ito Ohio

al, invested large Gum Of money-so large
9 to have caused the failure Of the firm.

| OHlo AND MISSISSIPPI RArLRoAD.-The con-
struction Of this Road, which is intended to
unite tho cities Of Cincinnati and St. Louis,
exhibits in rather strong light, the wisdom,
economy, and good management of Railroad
construction attempted without sufficient
means. Perhaps this is strong case. The
first cost Of this Road was estimated at
Sc, OOO, 900, or $4,000 per mile, by the En-
ginecr, Mr.. 0. H. Mitchell. But he nego,ia-
ted contract for its construction for the sum
Of 10000, fifty per cent. above his Own
estimate, and for his services received large
sum Of money from the company. But this
did not secure tho construction of the road.
Becoming embarrassed for want Of funds,
the contractors sold to Page & Bacon, who
in turn, were ussd up and obliged to suspend.
In March last the cost Of the road was stated
at $l2,300,OO0, or more than double the
original estimate. while the road was far
from completed. 1t will still require an ex-
penditure Of $3,000,0o0 to complete it and
swell the cost per mile to s45 900. Although
. strong case, there is a great deal Of this
kind Of management upon railways, induced
BY lack Of means and lack Of experience
Men are entrusted with the construction Of
railways who are totally unfit for the place.
And these are too often under the control of
Directors having no more practical knowl-
edge of the matter in hand than dray horses.
They arc elected solely for the metallic quail
i6cations they are able to bring to the COM
pany and not for their practical knowledge,
wisdom and business capacity in that line.
