The Fer,IIn Weht.

A correspondent desires to know how
long the manufacturing population of this
country must continue to increase before it
will be large enough to consume the pro-
duce which the agricultural population Of
the Great West sends to market. He learns
that the wheat delivered in Chicago only in
the course of last year, was fifty millions OF
bushels. A statist might answer, if he could
only fix the time when America shall
begin to manufacture for the whole civilized
world-s period which we suspect is some.
where beyond the millennium. Those who
manufacture for America only will not for
ages to come be able to consume the surplus
products of the West.

AFFECTING INcIDENT.-The Perrysburg In
dependent narrates the following touching
incident: On Friday night last Mrs. George
Gunter, residing near New Westfeld, Wood
County, received a letter from her husband,
a member of the Twenty first Regiment,
containing a remittance, and announcing his
illness, but stating that he was getting bet
ter. On Saturday long box was taken from
the cars and placed on the platform at West
field, on which were these words: "The re
mains of George Gunter." In a few mo-
ments he who was supposed to be restored
to health, lay a corpse before his grief
stricken family. He leaves two children.

A letter from Manassas, dated January %,
in the Richmond Dispdich, describes the
condition Of affairs in the rebel camp at
Manassas:
Rain, snow, sleet, mist, fog, mud, and the
state Of the weather generally have, for the
time being, monopolized conversation, TO the
exclusion of that everlasting topic, "the ad-
vance and the expected battle" Since this
miserable spell Of weather get in, the subject
has been quietly laid aside; and, as IL is the
first time since last July that o week has
gone by without q rumor Of the Federal
force advancing, and il being such a great
piece of news not to hear it, concluded to
send it to the Dispatch, hoping its readers
will feel very grateful to hear such piece
of intelligence. A trip down to Oenterville
last week was quite an event considering the
state the roads are in now; but felt amply
repaid by the hearty greetings OF my friends,
and the opportunity had OF noting the
change in the scene since l last Travelled
over the road.
The old tents, in some cases dilapidated,
mildewed and weather. beaten, which have
stood the storms and sunshines of the sum-
mer campaign, have given place to comfort
able cabins, which have quite an air of neat
ness and home comfort, with their stick and
plaster chimneys, and their one window OF
six and four lights, and their new. plank
door. In some cases the ends of the logs
are sawed of, and the little villages look
quite habitable until you cast glance down
at the pavement. To supply the windows,
of course every deserted house between Cen
terVille and the outside of the lines had to
furnish its quota. In this connection an an
ecdote is related of an old lady who took her
knitting and went off to spend the afternoon
with friend. Great was her CONSERVATION
| upon returning to find her house minus the
| windows. As no smoke was coming from
the chimney il was drawn upon as deserted
| property.

A soldier in Indianapolis, having a wife
ard two or three children, recently met there
woman with whom he had in former years
been acquainted, and pretended to her that
his wife was dead. He visited her, proffered
marriage, and was accepted. The day before
bis regiment was to leave the city for Ken
tucky they were married, and the next day
the man bid his new made wife good-by and
went with his regiment. The deceived lady
soon learned how grossly she had been i'm
posed upon by meeting the living wife whom
she supposed to be dead.

Eight bridge burners in Missouri have
been tried, found guilty, and sentenced to be
shot, and the sentence approved. 1t is high
time that an example should be made OF
fraudulent contractors and thieving commits
saries. And in this connection it does seem
to US that it would be more appropriate to
cause searching investigation into the
doipgs Of Simon Cameron while Secretary Of
War, than to appoint him to foreign mis-
sion. If guilty of a titbe of the misconduct
that has been charged against him, it is not
Fl that he should be sent abroad with high
office; and ifthe charges are not well founded,
it would be to his advantage TO have his
character cleared from the cloud that now in
the opinion of many hangs over it.

SPoILs GEESE FEATHERs.-A farmer resi-
ding up the Allegheny River, who has been
ter few sacks OF geese feathers, went down
last week without his annual crop. The
merchant to whom he sells his produce in
quired of the farmer the cause of the failure,
when the latter informed him that his farm
is bottom land on the Allegheny, and his
geese disport in the river, but the oil which
covers its surface from the Oil. Creek Wells
utterly ruined the crop of feathers, causing
them, when plucked, to stick together in q
conglomerste mass, rendering them entirely
worthless. This is a singular fact, but doubt
less true.

COLONEL "BoB" McCooK THE HRRo-There
Is no resisting the fact that Colonel r. L.
McCook formerly of this city, is the hero of
the Somerset battle-the most decisive Union
victory of the campaign. We saw letter
from him yesterday, written before the fight,
in which be said if the emergency required
il, the glorious "Ninth" under his command
would cast their powder and ball aside and
substitute the bayonet-a promise which
they nobly fulflled-routing the rebels, and
putting the whole army to an ignoble fight.
The Ninth-the "bully" German Regiment
nobe better in the seryice-and their Colo
mel will receive, as they merit for their sue
cessful charge, the lasting gratitude of the
country IS StsubenVilLe Herald.

sury that teas in bond, as well as those ship
ped at the time of the passing of the act

deprive the Government of several hundred
thousand dollars, every cent Of which will

there is not pound Of tea on sale that has

Retrencbmeut and TaxatIOn In Ohio.


Mr.. Groesbeck stated in his place in the
Senate, on Saturday, that he had held con-
versatiou with the Auditor of State, and was
informed that the expenditures of the State
might be reduced Sl,OOOOOO. Mr.. G.. re-
marked that according to the valuation two
years ago, the taxable property Of the State
was put down al $500, coo, 900; bat if the as
SCISSORS were to 60 around the State to-day,
to ascertain the value of the same property,
they would find it less than $500, 100000.
The kilograms from Washington advise
us that the Federal Government will levy
direct tax of $l5O,OOO 900, of which $l5,OOO,-
COO will come upon the State of OHIO, which,
beirg added TO the amount required for State
ard local purposes, $ll, ,OOO,C COO, will make
SIC, 900. And this amount is to be raised
on 100000 900; in other words, the levy
will be over four per cent
A levy OF four per cent will be very sensi-
bly, felt in the pockets of tax payers.
Mr.. Groesbeck offered the following pre-.
amble and resolution, which were adopted
WHEREAS, The State is soon to be subjected
10 heavy and unusual demands to sustain the
General Government in the pending war
and
WHEREAS, 1t is paramount duty to pre-
pare, at once, to meet these demand:
promptly, and al the same time, to avoid al
taxatiou of the people not absolutely neces
sary; therefore be it
Resolved That the Auditor be requested
TO communicate to the Seua'e, without de
lay, what safe and practical reduction can b
made in all our common and local expend'
lures and that, if possible he arrange thi
informa alton in some plan Of general ant
uniform retIenchmeDt.

The Gag Of the Tenth Indiana Regiment
presented to them by the ladies of Lafayette,
and borne through its campaign in Western
Virginia without the least injury, was so
completely riddled by the leaden hail of
balls at the battle OF Mill Springs, that it
looked like a number of pieces of ribbon
fastened toIa staff. For more than one hour
it was streaming 10 the breeze amid that
terrible fire, and but one person of the color
