ship could not go to the dock nor the dock
come to the ship. The English engineer would
not have undertaken it without a dock was
built expressly for the purpose. That would
have been the regular practice, because it was
the custom to repair ordinary ships in that
way. Not so with our American engineer, as
We have seen. If he has no dock he makes
part of a dock and that answers his purpose
equally well, at a thousandth part of the ex-
pense. We think we hazard nothing in say

The Senate was called to order at p. NJ
Mr. Williams moved 20 informally pass over
the business before the Senate and that the Sen

prevailed.
Mr.. Murray gave n statement Of his case. and
made very long argument. rev ewing the argu.

that regiment raised. and served in that ca

an incompatible Office. Mr. Baker. who claims
the seat, held lucrative Office at the

These were the main points in the case. DIR
Murray asked. that il he was excluded. that his
opponent be excluded also. The extraordinary
circumstances surrounding the country, where so
many had got mixed up with military affairs
through the best and purest motives, he did not

arbitrary construction should not be put upon

Mr. Wolfe moved to refer the contested case
from Elkhart and Lagrange back to the Com

ago sat beneath those trees and gath
cred flowers, and listened to the flowing
Of its waters. l was then a little child,
ond it seems but yesterday that those
scenes occurred. Many have passed it

sat by its side, who have passed away -
Yea, many generations have passed away
stree the waters Of this brook began to
flow. Yonder ancient heuse-where are
those who built it, and had it arranged
with so much care and taste, expecting
to enjoy it?
They are mo|dering in the grave.
That ancient tree-where are those who
planted it, and the many who have sat
beneath its shade? They are no more
to be seen to earth; they are in eternity!
The changes we witness warn us that
there is no permanent happiness here.
All earthly things are unendearing. If
they are not removed from US, we are re-
moved from them.

A Catholic Organ on Slavery.

The Catholic Telegraph, of Cinciu,
matt, edited by Rev. Edward Purcell,
brother to Archbishop Purcell, publishes
an editorial in its issue of the Goth ult.,
in which the cowardice of those people
who are frightened by the term "Aboli
tionist," is exhibited in the most scath-
ing language. The Telegraph says,
speaking of slavery:
"We never raised a hand against it
no word of any Catholic editor assailed
it, so long as it would be unjust and
illegal to do so; but now that it is dead
dead by the act of its admirers-we will
not consent to see its body fostering on
the highways.
"Let it be hurled out of sight forever.
Let it rest with all its horrors m the
grave-let its memory fade from the re-
collection of man. 1t was an outrage
against humanity such as the history Of
no other people could exhibit. Thele
was something manly in the old custom
of reducing to slavery him whose sword

A Copperhead Lie Nailed.

The Copperh cad. .Tuttle organs of this
State, including the Infamous Dubuque
Herald, have been feasting upon some of
the NEST barcfaced lies, in regard to COL
Stone, Union candidate for Governor
The most common and unblushing charge
is, that Col Stone is a coward. That
this Infamous lie may be once more re.
futcd, we herewith publish an extract
from the official report made by General
L. A. Carr, Of the part taken by bis di-
vision in the battle Of Champion Hills:
"Col. W. Nj. Stone, 22d Iowa, who
succeeded to the command of the I'd
brigade, took his place with the extreme
advance guard, at night, during the ad-
vance upon the enemy, exposed himself
freely aud exertcd himself SO much that
he became completely exhausted in the
afternoon, and was compelled to relin.
quish his command to Col. Samuel Mer.
rill, 2lst Iowa, for above an hour. BY
his bravery and admirable management
of his br:dude he reflects new honor on
his noble State"
Gen. Carr is an officer Of the regular
army, and one Of a numerous class who
has no fulsome flattery to bestow on vol,
unteer officers. Nothing may be more
certainly stated than when volunteer
officer Is complimented by any officer of
the. regular army, he has fairly earned
that compliment. Unfortunately for the
Copperhead supporters of Gen. Tut,lc
and slanderers OF Col Stone, and his rep
utation for coward, Gen. Carr says
Col. Stone took his place with the "ex-
treme advance posed himself free
ly"-"excrted himself to cxhaus,ion,"
and "by his BRAVERY and ADMIRABLE
management of his brigade, reflects NEW
HONOR on his notle State" What
higher compliment could an officer desire?
What more could brave and good off.
Ger do to merit it Will not his cne-
mics stop their lying? What towards
ever took the extreme advance and ex-
posed himself freely in battle Whst
Copperheads of the Hutchips, Byington-
Todd Thayer school ever took the ad
vance and exposed themselves ?-Musca
