Defense of the stnte.

The House has passed tho Senate Bill
supplementary to an act TO provide for the
defense of the State, etc. The bill provides
for the settlements of all accounts and
claims for the purchase of arms and equip
ments of troops, &c. to be audited and paid.
This law embraces the expenditures direct
ed by Gov. Dennison to meet the exigen-
cies Of the State and Nation. 1t was yio-
lently opposed by the straight Democrats in
the Legislature, on the ground that the
Governor had expended the money without
the authority of law. In tho House they
spared no effort to defeat the bill, but JUS
lice and right finally prevailed over party
faction.

Tho Abolition of PoIygamy.

The bill reported TO the House by Mr..
Ashley, of Ohio, from the Committee on
Territories, for the abolition of polygamy in
the Territories of the United States, in the
District of Columbia, and wherever the Fed
eral Government has exclusive jurisdiction,
yesterday passed the House, despite the op-
position of the VaIlandigham Democracy,
who seem as devoted to polygamy as to the
other Of "the twin relics Of barbarism, +" sla-
very. The bill annuls the laws Of Ula on
this subject, and, should it become a law,
will doubtless raise commotion in the edo.
mestic circles" Of that treason-tainted, poly
gamy eursod Territory.

'COn.rast Betwecn Freedom and slavery


Contrast Between Freedom and slavery.
Massachusetts and South Carolina may
fairly be taken as the types between the
Inhabitants ofthe Free and the Slave States
To exemplify the difference we present the
following contrast, as developed by the
census returns, Of 1850, those Of 1860 not
having been published, owing to some nm
accountable delay.
In Massachusetts, the number Of males
between The ages of Is and 20 were asccr-
tanned to amount to S22, ,S42; and in South
Carolina, to 62,3o2 souls. This is the
military power Of each State.
The increase 10 the population in Mas
sachusetts, from 1900 to 1910, was 1888
per cent; and in South Carolina the white
population increased Ola per cent. From
1900 1928, the increase in Massachusetts
was l1-6o per cent. and in South Carolina
1925 per cent From 1910 to 1880, thl
increase in Massachusetts was 1888 pc
cent; and 10 South Carolina, soc per cent
From 1880 to ls4o, the population 10 Mas
sachusetts increased 2O-s2 per cent; and
in South Carolina, o-47 per cent. From
1870 to. 1850, the increase in Massachu
setts was 35-1f per cent, and in South Car
olina, 5-97 per cent. In South Carolina
in 1850 there were 5,S97 white aduI
males, who could neither read nor write
and s,7S7 white adult females.-M Y

and gives an earlier maturity. k
KIND Of soii.--Upland, light, grayelly loan is
best. Dark rich soil may produce as much
syrup but it win be strong Of taste, and dark

@. p. BUcKINeHAM, ADJT. GEN. Ono:
Sri preceige by the Cincinnati and
Louisville papers that the conduct of this
Brigade 10 the battle Of Pittsburg has beer
grossly misrepresepted. / think the re-
port Of Gen. Sherman will do us justice.-
1t is true we we're taken by surprise and
had hardly timo to fall into line Of battle
and advance about thirty rods when We
met the enemy and opened fire upon him
1t is not true that we fled, but on the con
trary, We maintained our position moro thar
two hours, and did not retire until after Tho
regiments on our left had given way ant
we were ordered to fall back, which we die
in good order. 1t is true that our linci
we're afterwards broken by the fleeing mas
from the left. All three of the regiments
rallied and continued to fight, whenever w
could, during the day, though not always
at the same point. We slept on our ARM
in line on Sunday night, and we're in thC
thickest Of tho fight the next day, and Mon
day night slept in the camp we started from
Sunday morning. Ny Brigade pursued
the enemy some miles on the road to Cor
inth. Instead of being driven to the boat
as alleged by tho newspapers correspon
dents, have not seen tho Tennessee rive
since VIC came to this camp, nearly fou
weeks since. It is hard, after having don
our duty in such battle as this, to be thu
slaudcred. But l trust justice will yet b
done u.s.
