Gen Beauregard TO 90 to Columbus.

Gen. Besuregard has been trans
ferred to command at Columbus
This we are truly gratified to hear,
and the intelligence will no doubt
be equally as welcome to the brave
men in that part of the service
With this changein the command at
Columbus, the country has reason
to anticipate the Inauguration of a
long desired change in the war pol
icy hitherto adhered to in that quar-
ter, and we cannot believe there is
any danger of the hope being dis
appointed.

Expenses Of the Government.

The Washington correspondent
of the New York Erpress says:
The Tribune is not far out of
the way after all, in estimating
the present expenditures Of the
Government ut three millions, pei
day, as follows: at
For quartermaster's Department
of the Army, two millions pei
day as shown by General Meigs
report to the Secretary of War;
for Paymaster, $71S,O00 per day;
for Commissary Generals Depart
ment, $40, 900 per day; for Ordin-
ance Department, $4,000 per day;
giving q total for three Departments
of the military service alone of
S2,9s9,00O. = 3-'tl
The daily expenditures of the
Navy Department, cannot be much
less than $4,000 per day, and of
the other Departments Of the Gov
eminent, say 100000 per day.
The aggregate, many think, is So
239, 600, as the daily expense of
the United States Government, or
an annual expenditure of 81, 1872
100000. asiEi

Tribute Of Respect.
BowLlNG GREEN, KY,

At a meeting held on the 10th
day of January, 1862, by the
members Of Capt. Georges compa.
my, the following preamble and
resolutions was adopted
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased an all
wise providence to call from among
JUS one of our young brothers in
arms, IsHAx j. RowELL, who, after
but a few days illness and much
suffering departed this life on the
10th day of January, 1862, it is
with much regret, we have met to
pay the last respects to the deceas-
ed, .who while living was worthy
to be called a soldier and brother.
He was amiable and was uDassum-
ing, modest, and retiring in his
manners, and always submissive
to the will of his officers in a word
he was all that constitute a true
soldier.
Resolred, The we do deeply de-
plore the loss of our fellow associ-
ate and brother soldier. He was
one that commanded the respect of
his officers and all his comrades,
and although his illness lasted but
a few days, he endured it with the |
UTMOST patience and fortitude. II
RESOLVED, That we sympathize|
with the friends and relatives of |
the deceased. In him they had a
Kind and affectionate brother, who
would have been true to the
'teel he may have borne upon the
battle field. f5d
. Besolred, That a copy of these
'esolutions be forwarded to the

The Victory iD Missouri.

Simultaneously with the news
of Gen. Crittenden's defeat and
Zollicoffer's death, came the &C.
count of a brilliant victory in Mis-.
sour, gained by Gen. JEFF. Thomp-
son, near Ironton, Mo. We have
not yet received the details of this
battle, but from what we read of ii
in the Northern journals, we have
very little doubt that Gen. jeff.
gave the Yankees a sound thrash
ing. The old song of greatly SUI
perior numbers on the side of the
rebels is sung by the lying Forneys
Tand BENEFITS of the Lincoln press.
They say that JEFF. had G, 600 men,
and their force was only 600!-
Precisely the reverse of this state
ment is most probably the truth,
as we think will be shown by the
official report from our side when
1t is received.
/ 1t lisa curious circumstance that
this Missouri victory has not at
tracted any special attention in the
community. The public mind
seems to be 30 wholly absorbed at
present with the result of the bat
tie near Somerset, as to be incapa-
bic Of approaching SO important
and splendid a feat as General
Thompson's, in this hour of trou-.
BILE and sorrow, caused by the loss of
a deseryedly favorite commander.
