New ElevutOrs.-In addition to the present
extensive facilities in Chicago for receiving grain
we learn that two first class Elevators are being
built on the South Branch by two of our leading
warehousefrms, to be completed in a few months.
and to be furnished throughout with the most APP
proved machinery, including twenty~three of
Fairbanks 500 bushel Hopper scales, which is a
sufficient guaranty that correct weight will be
gNel. Besides these, the Messrs. Fairbanks have
set in this city in little more than year, about
seventy 500 bushel Hopper scales and dozen or
so smaller ones, making over a hundred in all
So perfect is the machinery, that each scale may
be loaded and unloaded i'll ten twelve minutes,
which gives some idea of the enormous amount
Of grain which may be weighed upen them all in
single day. Let the Farmers of the Northwest
raise their immense crops Of grain and the rail
roads and canal transport it to Chicago; there is
no doubt but our means for receiving. storing anC
shipping it will keep pace with the demand

The Opening - tne 4lSIAc SGESoAs '-
The Public Schools Of this city were opened OF
Monday last, under the most promising auspices
aud we may look forward TO a very satisfactory
and profitable school year. The Board of Educa
ton have been actuated by the right feelipg-t
desire to increase the usefulness and efficiency o
the schools, and furnish to the youth Of our city
the greatest possible educational advantages, on
the most economical system While the Board
have studied economy in all things, they have
not done that at the expense OF single advan-
tage or privilege to the children to be educated
During the vacation. the school rooms have all
been whitewashed and otherwise improved. The
furnaces of the High School buildings which were
somewhat unsafe and rather imperfect, in warm
ing the several rooms, have been removed and
rebuilt. in the most approved manner. In their
re. construction their location has been changed
and they have been so improved, that while they
are rendered entirely safe they will warm the sev.
eraI rooms much more perfectly, with far less
fuel This we believe viii be substantial and
lasting improvement, and in the long run saw
ing of expense
The Board have taken the utmost pains to sup
ply the several rooms with the best Teachers
psssible, and we believe we have now corps of
Teachers in our public schools that cannot be sur.
passed in experience and qualification. We pub
lsh the list as now constituted.

A. A. CoIwell-Sub. Primary.
NORTH WARD SCHOOL.
Hosea Barns-Grammar School, No. l.
Miss Lizzie O'Neill-Primary, No. 4.
All but three Of these have been heretofore em~
)loyed in the several rooms they now occupy. |
Mr.. Graham. who is employed for the Grammar
School No 2, is a teacher oflarge experience, and
las hitherto been very successful. The Board
expect very superior school in this room, nnder
lis tuition, and we satisfied, from what we
;n0ac of Mr.. Graham as a teacher, that it has
,een long since Grammar School No. 2 had one
% able, and well qualified TO guide it to complete
uccess.
Miss Brown in Primary No. 3, and Miss Serb
Ter, in Primary No. l, are Also both new teach
RS in our Public Schools, though they have had
experience in teaching. We think they will con-
Iuct their respective rooms with success, as in
heir selection, the Board looked alone to qualif-
alton and fitness for the position
On the whole, we think our schools have open
ID auspiciously, and we certainly expect to see
hem, not only retain tine high character they
ave hitherto attained, but even to make adj
ances and take a still higher stand in the educa>
ional system of the State.

In the present stage Of high prices, 1t is
the duty Of every eps TO econcmiEe IN
every direction possible. One of the
lsakaFsg which may and should be stopped,
4 that Of the too free use Of paper. The
price Of paper has increased enormously,
IN consequence Of the scarcity Of the rags
Of which to make it. As Jet noartfele has
been found to take the place OfTags in this
manufacture, and it therefore becomes all
users Of paper, Of whatever kind to, eeono-
mise as they have never done before.
When writing letter, let half sheet an
svsr instead Of q whole one. Never waste
q sheet nor an envelope. Save the frag-
ments Of paper and sell them to be made
over. In this way each one may effect .
saving to his or her own pocket, and at
the same time benefit the world at large by
lessenipg the scarcity which now prevails,
It is in these little savings that the people
in this country should learn a lesson Of
the people Of other lands. ss.-5....-

The enormous increase in the prices Of
paper falls With burdensOme effect upon
Newspaper publishers. There is scarcely
any other line Of business that suffers as
severely from the pressure Of the times as
that Of prin ting and publishing. The price
Of white paper has nearly doubled, while
advertising, the life Ofa newspaper, has
fallen of materially. Newspapers will
loose eaTily unless they adopt one Of two
oaurses-incTease the price of fsubseriptiOn,
or reduce the size. The Buffalo dailies
have raised their price to eight dollars per
year, and two cents per copy to dealers
The Detroit papers have advanced the
price from six to seven dollars. Three
dailies in Hartford, the Times, Press and
eOursnt (tbe latter enc Of the oldest dailies
IN the country have also advanced Their
prices. The Utica Herald has been cur
down In size. The movement is going oD
all over the country, as it must dc under
the circumstances. There is no reason
that all other commodities should be en-
HANGED in price and newspapers rensin st
old prices to be loss TO their publishers.
The papers Of this city have been
furnished at the merest triHe above the
cost Of the white paper on which they are
printed. Since the price Of that paper has
increased so largely as # has done, sozs-
thing must done to Offset the increase, or
8 damapinR loss will acorue.

A strange Inconsistency preFades those
Democrats who oppose the removal Of Nc
clellan. Is it not just what they had ssid
they wanted It will not be denied that
since Mcclellan received the general COM
mand Of the Army of the Potomac. he has
had full control of his own movements. He
took that command with the full under
standing and condition that he should n OF
be "hampsred,n and whether wisely or
not the demand was granted BY the Presi-
dent Here then, comes the contradictory
position ofths MoCIellan men; They de-
olared before the elections that the country
demanded change but now they are ex-
ssperated at the change having been made.
They announced their platform to be
more vigorous prosecution Of the war; but
assan the President for doing al in his
power to carry out that platform. They
interpreted the election to mean dissatis-
faction with the conduct of the war the
President did likewise, and removed thsman
HAo was u4AAuAg AesPoA1Auic AOE tue OOA-
ditiOn with which the people were dissatis-
fed. Ths more open spoken of them
wanted the country and the army brought
under Democratic rule; in removing one
Democrat, the President has putin another.
Now what, in the name Of consistency, are
they enraged about Z Had the President
been one of their own party he could hardly
have acted more in accordance with their
PTsteadsd views.
But the clamor that is being made over
the removal Of General Mcclellan as a
military measure shows the hypocrisy Of
their pretsnoes. They do not desire more
vigorous prosecution Of the war, or
change Of policy, except to enlarge the
power Of their great champion Mcclellan.
Therefore they have Informally nomina-
ted the deposed general as the next DsHpO-
cratic President They aspired to gain the
ascendency in the country under their fair
proposals, and then to drive or bully the
Administration into a support Of their
own views. The President has signally
defeated their schemes by showing that
when duty requires he wiz not shrink
from any step.

It's battle field. The night Of the battle
must from all accounts have been a fear
full one. Over 1000 Of the killed and
wounded lay upon the field, and
amid the groans Of despairing wretch
es, the continual cry for a sOatsT. iSatsr, IN
G7fs name, giVs rs a drop Of -tSatsF, = was
fearful and hesrt.rending in the extreme.
With the loss Of blood comes thirst, fierce
and iRtolsrable, yet blood was more Pleaty
than water, for the creek was bare Of a
kroPsand the few springs which gave forth
a limited quantity were distant and Of
difficult access Many soldier that never.
save at his mothers knee, bowed his head
and lifted up his heart IN supplication TO
his God, prayed that night for water, but
none came, and the par0hed lips received
moisture alone from the life blood which
trickled forth, as life passed away.
Our Surgeons, within the rebel lines
that night, say that no Discrimination was
made among the suffering. Thus Federal
and Secesh received the same treatment
from those having the wounded in charge,
but the number was so great that bare, as
the rebel army was Of every thing but
little could be done. When the rebels
retreated, the wounded left behind receiv-
ed the same kind treatment from our
troops and. surgeons. One poor man,
Surgeon McMeens, of Sandusky, who has
gone to his last account, a victim to his
humanity, worked to death in caring for
the wounded, and who, although in the
thiekest and hottest Oft light, receiving
General Jaekson's body in his arms when
he fell covered with wounds a lifeless
loorpse, and who bore the body of General
Terrill from the field and was never men
toned by the head Surgeon in his report,
because, it is said, they were personal en-
emies, described TO me the scenes Of the
night as awful and maddening. Poor Nc
Means he called upon me, his neckeloth
covered with blood from an ampVtation,
in the morning, and talked to me half
an hour about his wife, whom he ex-
spected the next dag to visit him
At twelve o'clock that night he
was a corpse-desd from overWorking
and from the deep injustice that had been
done him in the official report, while others
less worthy, and others unworthy, were
mentioned in terms Of high praise Dead
though he be, the surgeons Of the army
will take means to vindicate his fame, and
his high talents, his skill as a surgeon,
and above all, his kind and gentle heart,
his gallant and noble bearing, viii long
live in the breasts Of those who knew him
best and loved him most. Forgive this
episode to the memory Of a wrongsd man
who felt deeply the sting which it is feared
struck him with barbed arrow from the
bow Of envy. If such were the feelings
which prompted the blow, may God for

But little hss bsen heard lately q the
great Stevens Battery, building at Hobo
ken, but the inventor has not been idle.
sOno time since, being alive 70 the impOr-
tant bearing which the new ordnance dis
ooyeries and developments in Europe
would have upon the future construction
Of armOred vessels, ne sent specially to the
Eastern Hemisphere a gentleman Of large
practical knowledge Of such things, to in
vestigate snalytically the progress made
BY inventors Of chips and guns. That
gentleman is now in America, and has
given valuable aecspntof his experience.
The facts collected by him, and the results
OF ordnance trials ut home, have partislly
convinced Mr.. Stevens that there is now
no irOn-clad vessel in the world impervi-
Gus to the shot that might be hurled
against it. Urged by this conclusion, lie
endeaYored to find out, by the exercise Of
his creative faculties, if a ship could not
be rendered really impregnable. The labor
spent in trying has not been lest, and there
is reason to believe that before long New
York harbOr will, if the authorities wish
it, be protected by craft which can defy
Warriors OF La Gloires, .Hte5 E.
The n. Y. Times says: t4A
The experiments alluded to have been
going on privately, as publicity would de-
feat the object Of the inventor. The sue
cess which has attended them, however,
will lead almost Immediately to active
of iimpottAnce. .t-It s.ft ~
Mr.. Stevens believes, like many other
sensible men, that it is as well to keep the
world ignorant Of what is going on, in the
Wsy Of warlike preparations, until privacy
is not necessary, and can preserve no Sc
cret for the nation. Were it not for this,
some facts might be printed which would
astopish the natives Of more than one coun-
try. The representatives Of the respeeta-
BILE portion of the Press, have no desire to
detract from the value of q great inEen-
lion by premature exposure Of it." ss-E-
