that departed statesman viii take place.
The ocoasioni viii undoubtedly be high

Thousands Of people from al quarter q

the appreciative and bereaved people Of
Chicago could suggest has been made,
and to-day that city will present such .

Cos Of business will be closed, and the
entire people, with one accord. will lay

that his remains are to slumber IN the
North West, instead Of being conveyed
TO Washington. The North West w's
his home, his field Of earnest labor in

Cottage Grove, where his remsins will
be consigned to earth to-day, will live
in the memory Of the American people
- sacredly As do the resting places Of
Clay, Webster and Jackson, and thither
through coming years the admirers OF
that great man will make pilgrimsges to

Eleven Months.

March next he will hand over the Union,
safe and sound, to its constituted and

We understand that it is part of
General Scott's plan to occupy Virginia
and Tennessee completely on or before
the goth of July. Sixty five thousand
Northwestern troops will move down
the Mississippi as far as Memphis, under
command OF Generals Fremont and
Mcclellan, and remain in camp until the
sickly season is past, when they will
move on toward the Balize, there meet
ing the conquering army Of the Ess,
and celebrating Washington birthday
in New Orleans Chicago Tribune.
We are not inclined to skepticism al
all, bat at the same time we consider
the above extract, in the main, perfect
ly ridiculous. Whether the seeded
States will ever become loyal to the
Government Or not, is very serious
question with us, but the idea OF con
qucring them aud restoring them in good
Union condition by the 4th of next
March, is a. result that no sane man
who understands matters correctly will
for moment expect. Ii the present
war is closed within three years time,
we shall be disappointed, but if General
Scott can bring about restitution of the
entire concern, blot out the rebel flag,
and raise the stars and stripes triumph
antly and permanently through the
South, the old hero will have harvested
crop Of military glory, such as no
General, either in present or past history,
ever gloried in. The idea is totally i'm
practicable, and so much so that it seems
to be q foolish waste of time and paper
to present reasons why. We expect to
live until the 4th of next March, but We
do not expect to see matters much more
favorable than they are now.
