parted Senator. The procession was the
largest that ever paraded our streets; every
detail was characterized by the utmost good
taste, and forgetfnlness of past issues and
contests. The eulogy pronounced by the
gifted orator was a mastery sketch OF the
striking events OF Douglas life, and frien
dly but truthful analysis Of his character.
1t was listened to with an attention rarely
bestowed upon public speaker, and re-
ceived the hearty commentator of every
man and woman present. We leave it with
our readers, assuring them it will repay
with interest, an attentive perusal.

Douglas Fund.

Governor YATES, Chief Justice CArRoN,
Messrs. w. A. RICHARDSON, WIN. B. OG.
DEN, S. s. MARSHALL, o. B. FICKL1N, and
other prominent citizens of Illinois, publish
circular, proposing to raise by voluntary
contribution fund for the purchase of a
home for Mrs. DOUGLAS, (near Cottage
Grove, where her husband lies entombed)
and for the education of his children. The
Committee truthfully remark, that Mr..
DOUGLAS served State and country from
love of both, and not from hope of pecu-
mary profit, and for the past four years, to
the utter exclusion of all business pursuits.
They they continue:
While thus laboring for your interests and
the interests OF your posterity, his own means
were lost. He died not only poor, but has
left to his wife and children legacy of debt.
The only unemcumbered piece of land--a small
tract, less than three acres--Of which he was
ever possessed, was, when he died. the prop
erty of his widow. At the request of the peo-
pie Of illinois. coming up to her even in the
hour of her sorrow, she surrendered his re-
mains to the State, and with them gave that
piece of land for his interment, asking of the
people only that she might be allowed to re-
side near the grave in which he reposes. She
has thus given to the people of Illinois all that
was left of Douglas. This lot in which now
rest his ashes, is the centre of that beautiful
grove known as his long chosen and favorite
home. The surrounding portion of the tract
is covered with mortgages. His children, his
widow, and his cOuntrymen, to approach his
grave, must do SO by permission of the sheriff,
his creditors, and strangers. Will the nation
he has served forget Douglas in the tomb? Will
the American people, whom he served so long
and so faithfully, suffer his widow and his or
phans to be turned from the home he loved,
the soil he defended, to seek elsewhere, and
from strangers, shelter and support Shall
they be shut out from the sight of his tomb,
and denied the melancholy satisfaction of being
near his grave? Shall the wife and children Of
Douglas go forth homeless, houseess wander
ers from the State of Illinois?
Hon. JOHN D. CATRoN, Chief Justice of
Illinois, will act as receiver of this fund;
his address is Ottawa, Illinois.

The Battle at Great Bethel

The battle at Great Bethel, on the 9th,
is reported, via Nashville, Tennessee, to
have been fought between 1900 Confeder-
ates, under Col. MAGRUDER, and 5000
United States troops, and that 100 of the
latter were left dead on the field. The New
York Times has dispatch saying but IL
federal soldiers were killed at the fight be-
fore the batteries, and As wounded. But,
alas, how many were killed by our own
troops firing on each other. Major WIN.
THRoP, of Mass, one of the killed, was Sec
rotary of Gen. BUTLER, and the author Of
the brilliant article in the Atlantic Monthly
for this month, on the Night March of the
Seventh, from Annapolis to the Relay
House.
Gen. PIERCE, the ID Road Militia
General, who commanded the loyal troops,
has not made bis report. The officer in
command of the rebels was Lieut.. Col. j.
B. MAGRUDER, late one of the most accom-
plished officers in the United States Army.
How many more such terrible experiences
will our troops have to go through,
before those in authority learn that this is a
struggle for national existence, and is not
carried on to reward shallow pated politi-
clans?

What Gen. Beaureg gard thinks.

The Washington correspondent of the
World telegraphs that Gen. Beauregard
was at Charleston last week--from the LIST
to the 8th-and while there be was the re.
cipient of much attention, public and pri.
vate, and dinner was rendered him by the
Common Council. To the committee who
rendered him the invitation he, in declining
the honor, made brief speech, the general
drift of which is as follows:
He deprecated the policy which up to that
time guided the action of the Confederate
army, and which caused it to be scattered at
various points. He said that in his opinion a
concentration at Manassas Junction or Har-
per's Ferry was all-important, and unfolded
his plan of future operations as follows: He
intends to concentrate, and is now doing so,
an army of from $4,000 to $4,000 men at Ma
mas as Junction, which shall be thoroughly and
efficiently guarded and defended so as to defy
successful attack. He believes that the federal
army is composed of restless and uneasy men,
who will not long be kept from action-that in.
subordination is already at work, and that the
leaders will be forced to make an early attack.
ssIf," said he, ''they attack us at the Junction,
we can Withstand them until they are spent,
sistible fury. What if they do 'go on taking
this and that place before they attack us, it
will be of no practical or lasting benefit they
will then be compelled to attack our army,
and, when that is done, we shall be successful"
The General seemed confident of ultimate
success, and based his belief on the "facts -
that the federal army is determined to make an
early movement, and that movement can be so
arranged by the Confederate leaders that de-
feat to the troops ofScott can but be inevitable.

Douglas Successors tive have no
Politics nOw," Fellow Democrats.

The Governor of Illinois has appointed as
the successor of the lamented DOUGLAS, in
the United States Senate, O. FL. Brown
ING, prominent Republican of that State.
Mr.. BROWNING is a gentleman of great legal
ability. But, it appears from this appoint
ment, that they only are acknowl edged wor.
thy of public trust whom DOUGLAS has de-
feated. LINCOLN in 1858, suffered defeat
at the hands of the Little Giant, and was
then inflicted upon the country as Pres-
dent; and BROWNING, in 1843, running as a
Wing candidate, in strong Wing district,
was defeated by DOUGLAS, liz his (DoUGLAs)
first successful Congressional canvass, by
majority of 445. That election first sent
DOUGLAS to Washington.
We had hopes that, from among the
gallant and loyal Democracy of Illinois,
some gentleman would have been selected as
Senator DOUGLAS successor, who would have
been looked upon, in some sort, as a repre-
sentative of the million md half of citi-
zens who voted for the great Commoner.
But Republican magnanimty could not ex-
tend this single tribute to the memory of
the Statesman, and his legion of adherents.
No, not even in time of war, when Dem
ocrats lead the vanguard of our armies!

ties, says:
Despite these admirable qualifications for
the Senatorial dignity, and our personal admit
ration of the gentleman whom they adorn. we
cannot refrain from saying, that, in our view,
the public interest would have been better
served by the appointment of some thorough
ly reliable man of the late Democratic party.
We have before set out our easons for this
opinion; and every day has in our minds al.
ded to their weight and cogency.

Gov. Jackson's Proclamation.

Governor JACKSON sets up two of the
pleas for revolution which were justly urged
by our forefathers in '76: 1. An approach
to unanimity in the prevalence of the senti>
ment of resistance in the State; and, 2.
The actual necessity of seeking constitu-
tional rights by the last and fearful resort
war. In '76 these were just pleas for
giving honor to de tacto government-re-
sisting actual oppression by mercenary
troops; in his case, who hoisted long ago
an alien flag, and as against an armed fed
eral police, in good faith, and lawfully and
heartily protecting, and the only protectors
of the lives and property Of the loyal citi-
zens. they are hypocrisy, added to treason

Putting the Cadets Through in Quick
Order at West Point.

They are hurryiDg the Cadets through to
graduation as soon as possible, so as to put
their military education to an early profit
able use. The following extract from let
ter by one of the Cadets, says that the
graduating class are going through their
studies by forced marches, and expect to
reach active service in the course of
month or so:
Our stock is up in the market at present,
and bids fair to remain up; but what please
me most, is the fact that shall soon be in
a fair way to get the benefit of it. My
class expects to graduate in about one
month! Isn't that glorious? The class
which is just above us graduated most three
weeks ago, and we are being put through
"course of sprouts" for an early graduation.
You can imagine how hard our duties are,
when l tell you we shall take but seven or
eight weeks to complete course to which
a whole year is generally devoted. AS
sample, last Thursday, we had thirty pages
in Engineering, military seventy pages in
Law, and twenty-five pages in Ordnance
and the Science of Gunnery-making, in
all, 125 pages; end, to know it well, at
least five minutes should be devoted to each
page l study about seven or eight hours
per day, and recite about four. [ begin
at five and half in the morning, and get
through about ten in the evening and
added to all this, we have to perform our
regular military duty-drills, parade, guard
duty, etc.

The Mesilla Times, of May IL, contains
an account of the horrible massacre at
STEMS Peak of two Americans by savages
Seven who were of the same party are
missing, and eighteen mules belonging to
the train were stolen. The massacred were
found, tied by the feet to trees, their heads
reaching within eighteen inches of the
ground, their arms extended and fastened to
pickets, and the evidences of slow fire
under their heads. The bodies had been
pierced with arrows and lances. They
were so disfgured as to render recognition
impossible.

First Regiment Minnesota Vol
unteers ordered to Washing

Gov. RAMSEY received Friday evening a
despatch from Secretary CAMERON, ordering
the First Regiment Minnesota Volunteers
to Washington ora Harrisburg.
The Governor Immediately proceeded to
Fort Smelling, carrying the order to Col.
GoRMAN, and messengers were despatched
to Forts Ridgley and Ripley and to Lieut..
Col. MILLER, en- route for Abercrombie, for
speedy concentration at Fort Smelling of
the whole Regiment.
The order to march to the seat of war
will doubtless be obeyed with cheerful
promptitude by the officers and men, as it
is in accordance with their often expressed
desire. The time they have spent in gar
rison has been constantly employed in at
tanning degree of discipline, that will
prove almost invaluable, and they can now
60 forward with high hopes of honor to
themselves and the State.
In the fearful contest about to commence.
their own citizens being participants, the
people of Minnesota will watch its varying
fortunes with an interest hitherto unfelt.
Until now the war has seemed afar off, but
its realities will soon pervade the whole
State, as the news that sons, husbands and
brothers are on the way, or have arrived, at
the scene OF action.

National Expenditure and Resources.

National Expenditure and Resources.
According to the verbal statement of
Gen. SCoTT, there are now under arms and
in the pay OF the Government of the United
States, 100000 men. To maintain this
army, after its equipment, will require ST.
100000 annually to each regiment, or $780,
100000 year. The Navy will require, in
addition, at least half that sum, so that with
the ordinary expenses of the Government,
we may safely put down our national expen.
ses at this time at the rate of 1865, 100000
e year, or $l,0O0,OOO-a day. The present
tariff will not produce revenue, during the
war, exceeding $5O,OOOOOO per annum,
leaving over $30O,000,0O0 to be raised by
loans and special taxation. Loans will be
resorted to, until public credit is so affected
as to require direct taxation upon the PEG.
pie, to meet the wants of the government.
Foreign articles of luxury will naturally be
looked to, as proper resource for raising
money, by an increase of duties, and it will
be found expedient, il not necessary, to
impose an excise upon spirits, wine, tobacco,
and sugars of home production. In this
country, tea and coffee are admitted duty
free, but in England the former pays duty
of thirty-four cents per pound, and the
latter six cents pound. If these articles
were taxed in the United States as in Eng
land, the importations for 1860 would have
yielded revenue, from tea, of about So ,00O,-
900, and from coffee of nearly $500, 900.
The principal of which these yearly sums
would be the interest, very nearly represents
the probable direct cost of the war.

Good Prospects for the Farmers of
Minnesota.

The farmers of Minnesota comprise about
the only class of our population who will be
able to go through the war without serious
pecuniary loss. In fact, we would not be
surprised if the terrible contest opening be-
fore the country, would enrich the great
proportion of our farming population and
this will undoubtedly be the case, if in adj
dition to the war in America, there should
be, as it appears probable, a war in Europe,
and a consequent increased demand for
breadstuffs for expectation. The next
branch Of industry, in this State, in impor-
lance, is the numbering interest, but it has
been completely Frustrated by the war. The
same doubtless holds good of the fur trade
as it does of all mechanical pursuits. Some
of our merchants are doing jobbing bust
, ness, but it is very small, for people now-a-
days buy only what they absolutely re-
qure.
- Minnesota farmers, too, will probably
have to make good the deficit, in the grain
production of other Western States, caused
by the ravages of the army worm, in
southern Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, and in
northern Missouri and Kentucky. Similar
reports reach US from many parts of this
fertile belt of country. In some instances,
the ravages of the scourge are said to be
truly fearful. Whole meadows have been
swept clean of every vestige of vegetation,
aud the growing grain attacked as soon as
the meadows were exhausted. 1t is impos.
sible the papers tell us, to calculate the
amount of damage done to the wheat and
corn crops. In some localities, it amounts
to almost total destruction. Several meth
DDS have been proposed by which the march
of this destroyer can be stayed. The most
efficient, perhaps, is to dig ditch seven or
eight inches deep, in advance of their line of
march, the opposite side of the ditch being
scooped SO as to give concave surface to
the wall they would be obliged to climb in
browning the ditch. 1t is said that this is a
barrier which they cannot surmount.
Hemmed in in this way, hogs may be turned
in, and the worms will be eagerly devoured
by them ;or the meadows may be fred, and
the worms and the grass burned up to.
gether.
- As far as we have been able to ascer-
tain, the growing crops in this State are
coming on finely, and the yield, owing to an
increased area cultivated, will exceed that
of last year. We have some fears that
there will be scarcity of laborers during
the busy weeks of the harvest, and that
many will suffer loss from this cause.
