We presume il couldnO have escaped The notice
of tax PAYERS that their city taxes are only about
one.half what they were last year When the
present CITY administration took the management
of the peoples affairs there was floating debt
against the city Of about seven thousand dollars,
which has been paid, and the city government
carried ON with onc.half the tax which was asses.
sed upon the people the previous year.
The mayor and aldermen work for nothing
and find themselves but no one can say that
they have not cndcayOrcd to guard the interests
Of the people to the utmost of their ability.
Some valuable and necessary improvements have
been made, such as planting trees in the public
squares, building the Adams street sewer, repair.
ing the Rock River bridges, repairing the Ievee,
the streets and sidewalks, and paving our armory
expenses. Yet our tax, are only about 0ne.hnlf
the sum Of last year.
The mayor, Nj. Davenport, has devoted nearly
all his time to the interests Of the city, and
watched the interests Of the people with a yig.
liant eye. He docs this free of charge to the
people, and feels that he is promoting his own
interest a. well as the interests OF the people
generally, by careful and economical manage
ment of the affairs of the people

The Late Capt. Dodd, I7h U. s. Infantry.

Saturday evenings Boston newspapers CON-
flrrned the sad intelligence which many in
Portland had hoped incorrect; and we row
know, from sources impossible to discredit.
that the country has lost one of its bravest
hearts, and the army one of its most promising
young officers, by the death of Captain Albert
Dodd, of the 18th Infantry, who, as the tele-
graph with pathetic terseness tells IL. was
"killed at the head Of his company in one of
the recent terrible battles before Richmond.
With the melancholy catalogue falso. we
thank God, a triumphal record) of those hero
ic sons of Maine, who have recently fallen In
the conflict, crowding upon our columns. some
may wonder why we give even so briefa space
as we can to-day allow, to the memory of one
connected with US by no State tics. But In
the short time Capt. Dodd was in Portland. he
had made such troops of friends here. that we
know we shall crafty large circle of our
readers, in expressing, however feebly, our
sense of his remarkable merit, and our regret
at his untimely, though glorious death.
Capt. Todd, we are told, had from his youth
evinced love and aptitude for military
life. He had long been connected with ceIe-
br.ted corps in Boston, his native place-and
at the breaking out of the rebellion, conceiv-
ing it to be his duty to offer his SER
vices in aid Of his government, he raised
company for the three years service-the first.
we believe, in Massachusetts; and his company,
afterwards somewhat widely known as @Dodd's
Caryprs y was vve arc ;nf,,r,nad .,,1;..nl -:
formed, and equipped entirely by Capt. Dodd,
and at his own expense, in the wonderfully
short time Of forty-eight hours. On his de-
pa-ture, shortly after, for the seat Of war, he
was entrusted with an important duty by Gov.
Andrew, and fulfilled 1t with remarkable judg-
ment. And, in fact, though in that time never
under fire, Capt. Dodd, during his connection
with the volunteer service, displayed such no
tioeable soldierly qualities, and evident capa-
city for command, that he received without his
own solicitation, the appointment of Ca, tain
in the 18th U. S, (regularl Infantry, stationed
at Portland.
Here or acquaintance with him began, and
here he made-as, from the nature of the man,
he always made wherever he went-not only
acquaintance, but wide circle of friend. who
viii read the announcement of his death with
sincere and heartfelt sorrow.
Gallant, whole-souled, tender hearted, a
thorough soldier and true man-the long sad
line of those who have died for their country's
sake, will show no brighter name than that of
Capt. Albert Todd; nor could there be an epi-
taph more gIoriously won, or more in accord
ance with the character and wishes Of the man,
than the simple, but eloquent announcement
of his DEATH
Killed at the head Of his Company

Drafting.

In order that the good old State Of Maine
may be able to send forward her quota of troops
recently called for, with promptitude, it may,
and probably will be necessary to order draft
uron the militia And why not? If men are
wanted at once, they must be furnished at
once. This gigantic, internal rebellion must
be crushed. We have hardly begun to show
our strength yet. To raise five regiments Of
one thousand each would hardly average ten
men from each town, and Maine can stand sew
eral such drafts. No doubt the number required
could be raised by voluntary enlistments. but
it would take very much longer, and time Is
precious now.

time but two seconds better than that or the
Monitor The Prima Donna, an eight-oared
boat, pulled at Charleston in 1858, one mile in
6-lo, which with the same allowance would
make the Monitor % seconds ahead. Her time
compares equally well with the best recorded
time of boats pulling in larger races. The
heavy wind told materially against all the boats
in their time. The Hokamok was the old
boat which took two prizes in the Portland Re-
gatta of 1859. We hope to see them at our
next regatta, with new and lighter boat, when
they can compete on more equal terms. Their
pulling was very fine, and elected much inter-
est among the large concourse of spectators
which lined the shores of the "Cove,r and COW
cred Munioy Hill. Back Cove proved to he
very satisfactory place for the Regatta.

Daniel Kalache was arraigned before the
Court this morning on charge OF disturbance
of the public peace, on the afternoon of the 4th.
1t seems that this person chose to indulge in
the "manly" exercise Of fisticufis, during which
operation, officer Chase stepping in, deemed
tie little affair to have gone far enough, and
endeavored to take Daniel into custody. In
this he succeeded, but not until assistance had
been called in. 1t took something of Chase
to come up with him. The delinquent having
been found guilty was fined IS and costs, which
he paid. Discharged.
Thomas Crolar was summoned to answer to
the charge of resisting an officer while In the
discharge of his duty. His Honor, after hav-
ing heard the evidence, rendered a verdict Of
guilty, and imposed fine of $40 and costs.
Thomas having discharged said amount, was
himself discharged in turn.

names will be cherished in the memories of

And those too. who feel, not on the field of
battle but by disease, are to be equally remem-
bered. While the manner of their death NAV
not have been so glorious, yet their lives were
equally given to their country. The courteous.

The days of the rebellion are already num-

we even now catch glimpses of the blue sky

every quarter. Ere long the gallant leader in

reposed in him. Even during the last few

That banner must soon wave over restored

here At noon. The distance is about FIVE
miles. We marched oil the way through
the rain and mud, and our knapsacks got
very heavy before we reached our desti-
nation. The Union citizens of St. Louis
gave us a joyous welcome /; and hundreds
watched with eagerness the gallant tread
Of another Iowa Regiment. On account
Of the courage and bravery displayed by
the troops from our young and gallant
State in every engagement they have been
in during the present war, every one seems
eager and anxious to catch glimpse Of
tho Iowa boys, who have gained such .
reputation for valor and patriotism.
The Barracks seem quite forsaken.-
Only four regiments are here-three Of
cavalry and our own of Infantry. The
indications are that We will remain here
for some time to garrison this point
There are so few troops here now that SCI
cessiouists are becoming very bold and
have killed two or three Of the guards
that were posted about the city. 1t seens
scarcely possible that they will remove
us until others arrive. Our man dread
the idea of remaining here, being anxious
to join their comrades in the field and
have no doubt, if they will give the 18th
q chance, that it will emulate the exam-
pie Of other Iowa troops, and stand by
the stars and stripes till the last.
