We understand that exceptions have been
taken by some of our readers of both parties
to our allusion, last week, to the personal
appearance of Gen. Dodge, and some, who
have certainly strained the meaning of our
words considerably, contend that we called
him "a prize-fghter" We have not now
referred to the subject for the purpose of
retracting anything, but merely to elucidate,
if possible, our object in speaking of the Gen
erals personal appearance. He is we'll known
by reputation, but, having been for number
of years absent from the State, vast majority
of the people have never seen him. They
cannot, therefore, but be interested in
description of his appearance, and hence our
attempted delneation. In saying the express
sien of his countenance indicated combative-
ness, the idea was suggested and strongly
corroborated by the Generals pugilistic dem
onstrations towards Mr.. Kirkwood, since he
took the stump. If the picture is an ugly
one, it is certainly not the fault of the artist
who drew it. i,g-,z- sa4 17~ "-
We would be far from charging upon Gen.
Dodge the character Of shoulder-hitter or
clustering bully. He is generally, SO far as
our information extends, gentlemanly in his
manners, and, socially, is held in high esteem
by those who know him. But that he departs
from uniform life of courtesy and affability
on the stump has been shown on numerous
occasions during the present canvass, which
argues that, naturally, he is Of an irritable
and pugilistic disposition. He a man whose
appearance shows that, for some years past,
at least, he has pampered and fed his physical
to the neglect of his mental system. His
friends admit that he has lost much of his
former vigor and clearness of intellect. His
speeches are insipid, pointless and powerless,
sinking below the level of an ordinary
pettifogger's harangde. lass4 lE ~ a
FIGURES VS.. FALsEHooD.- The Democratic
press and Democratic stumpers assert that
the State taxes have been increased. Upon
examining the records, we discover that the
State taxes of 1857 (frst taxes levied under
Republican rule) amounted to 3436, ,2S8. 81.
The amount levied for 1858 was $685., 1851 !,
and the amount levied for 1859 is 1926, ,726. 62.
Therefore, the figures show the falsehoods Of
the Democracy. The taxes Of 1858 are
NINETY EIGHT THOUSAND, FORTY
FOUR DOLLARS AND SIXTEEN CENTS
LESS than the taxes Of 1857, and the taxes
| of 1859 are FORTY-ONE THOUSAND,
FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTY EIGHT
DOLLARS AND EIGHTY NINE CENTS
LESS than the taxes of 1858, making, in the
aggregate, decrease of taxation. under
Republican rule of one hundred and thirty.
! nine thousand foe hundred and thirty dollars
and foe cents!

WILL ToMLlNsoN.---This notorious charac-
ter, who is travelling with Dodge for the pur-
pose of covering the retreat of the General
from the hands of Mr.. Kirkwood, spoke, as
usual, in the evening after the joint discussion
at Upton. The Democrat says:
"Mr Tomlnson spoke of things that he
was cognizant of, base enough to consign to
oblivion a party who attempts to bolster them
up, and find excuses for their shortcomings"
We don't doubt it. When Tomlinson talks
of base things, he has right to claim partic-
ular familiarity with his subject. His cham
pionship of Eads, the plunderer of the school
fund, and his double mileage charge as assist
ant clerk Of the Senate, are some Of the evil
dences he presents of his qualifications in this
respect. During the past two years, he has
not ceased to cry about the grievous burthens
of taxation, yet the books of the County
Treasurer show that his taxes have been
delinquent for four years. His tax is but
small, but he had not honesty enough to pay
it before he commenced his howlings about
the burthens of taxation. His connection
with Eads and the school fund establishes the
fact that he would steal, while it is perfectly
notorious that he will lie. This is the man
sent out as a co-worker with Dodge, to teach
tax-payers their duty. ....z.. =......

i We were present at this grand exhibition
in Chicago, yesterday, the fourth day of the
Fair. An immense number of visitors wss
on the grounds s-yariously estimated at from
10000 to 100000 and without doubt the
largest crowd ever brought together in the
West The displaya was magnificent. The
grounds cover 45 acres, and were literally
packed and crowded. sItwas, in fact, very
difficult to 60 around and see the articles on
exhibition, such was the jam of humanity.
Being somewhat backward and timid ourself,
we hestated some time about attempting to
enter the fine art hall, which appeared to
attract most attention, but finally ..went in"
and "got squoze," till we were glad to get ont.
Edging and pushing ourself through the
crowd as'we did was tiresome days work,
but We were amply repaid by the numerous
novel and interesting objects on exhibition.
The great feature Of the day was the display
and practical working Of steam plows,
three Of which were on the ground. Only
two Of them were put to work, however-one
being Fawkes', of Lancaster, Pa, and the
other Waters, of Detroit, Mich. The former
had eight plows attached, blowing width Of
9 feet, and the latter thirteen plows, turning
up ls feet Of earth. They both worked well,
and, SO far as actual plowing is concerned,
demonstrated beyond doubt their practicable |
ity. But it is questionable whether their
great cost will ever admit of their coming into
general use. The Fawkes pillow, for instance,
cost originally $4,000, and will cost $40 per
day to keep it running. This includes the
wages of two men, and the cost of fuel. 1t
will plow 40 acres in day, though it has
plowed 60, and can drill and harrow in wheat
at the same time. But it can only be used in
seeding time. A farmer. must have his horses
for other work, and the steam plow will only
facilitate this work at that time, without
saving much Of the expense he is obliged to
incur without it. We think Mr.. Fawkes'
invention will be more valuable as a land
locomotive. 1t travels with perfect ease over
ordinary roads at the rate of between 40 and
so miles per day. -s-aa-t3 ~o1
Almost an unlimited number of newly
invented and improved machines were on the
ground. Among them were reaper and
'inde:, (the binding being performed in better
style than by hand,) corn-husker, and a
aiming mill so constructed as to separate
very particle of oats and dirt from wheat.
This last is great desideratum among the $
armers of Iowa. .I ",sT ,
The Fair will conclude, tomorrow, with q
rand trial of speed among ses.-Dlily, a
