Lafayette county. Ark, who was born in Frank
lin county, Alabama, on the 10th day Of An-
gust, 1887, aud VAS slain il battle near Muir
treesblrO Tenn, on the 3lst day Of December,
1852
When the tocsin of war was sounded Lieut..
McCollum was amongst the first W volunteer
his services in the COME lerate army: he volun-
teered in the first company from Lafayette
county, commanded then by the lamented Capt.
Samuel II. Dill, which is portion Of the 9Th
Arkansas Regiment. After he had served sew
eral months as private and sergeant, he was
elected first lieutenant; ut the Reorganization
he was reelected by acclamation, and when
his company was consolidated with the .'Capi-
tal Guards" of Little Rock, he was retaine as
first lieutenant of the company. Whilst gall
lantly meeting his country's enemies in battle,
on the second day of the great battle of MUIR
freesboro', he fell lifeless on the field. having
been shot through the heart. Ills bereaved
comrades buried him near the spot where he
fell, and with sad and melancholy hearts left
him ''alone with his glory" How nobly, how
gall antly he fell, and yet how sad to be cut
down In the bloom of young manhood. On the
night before he fell, he was conversing with
the remnant of the brave Lafayette Guards"
and other friends of Golden times" and the
dear ones at home, little dreaming. perhaps,
that on the morrow he would fall lifeless be-
meath the tri-barred banner he had followed so
long, He was brave, kind hearted and gen.
erous; and Was beloved by all who knew him
both in the army and at home, and his untimely
death has cast feeling Of gloom over the
hearts of his companions in arms and his many
friends at home, well rs his relatives. As
officer or soldier, his comrades knew not aught
against him; he was always at his post, and
ever ready to discharge his duties The writer
of this humble tribute to his memory served
with him in the army and knew him before the
war. and can testify to his many manly quail
ties of head and heart. He was our friend,
and We loved each other as brothers; and we
feel sad when think Of Golden tines" and
feel that we will see him on earth no more !,

The caucus d saturday Night.

Washington Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.l
HThe Republican caucus last night was
slimIy attended. Members who were
present tell those who we're not, that the
first resolution they passed was not to let
a member who did not attend know what
the caucus was called fer. 1t is known,
however, that the purpose is, if possible,
to secure such an expression of Republi-
cans as will compel complete reorgani-
zation of the Cabinet. The caucus ad-
iourned to meet again next Tuesday eve
ming. A good many members are some
what timorous about participating in its
action-not that they do not heartily SYM
pathize with the pro posed design, put be-
cause of the miserable failure Of the SEN
ate caucus on the same subject, which
gives them a wholesome distTust Of their
power in the premises.
"At the caucus last night several propo-
sitions are known to have been submitted
and discussed, but members, mindful Of
their pledge Of secresy, give no cue to the
nature of the action proposed.

"Horace Greeley had an interiew with

Senate to-day for q short time.
aMajor General Hitchcock's evidence be
fore the Mcdowell Court of Inquiry to-day

BY authority, & defense Of Secretary Chase
to-day against the points in Mr. Gurleyis
speech yesterday for not selling bonds
under the authority therefor, by the law Of
last session, TO raise money for paying the
soldiers.
TThe substance Of Mr. Hutehins' defense
was that Mr.. Chase did not interpret that
law as giving him power to sell the bonds.
" Il required him 10 sell them at market
value. He could not have, then, so large
an amount in market without producing a
panic, and selling the bonds at 9 sacrifice.
Thus Mr. Hutchins concluded. Il would
not have been selling at q market value
within the terms Of the law.
a Mr.. Gurley demanded If the market
value Of an article was not what it would
bring in the market, then what was it7
BE further inquiries whether any loyal man
would have objected if some sacrifice had
been suffered to pay the soldiers.
Mr. Hutehins thought there would have
been much fault found, and thoughtitEas
better to do as Mr.. Chase had done before
= leave the army unpaid rather than open
this door for cavilling against his illegal
action.
aMr Van Wyck and other members re-
cited cases Of suffering from failure to pay
the srmy, and the difficulty they had eI-
perienced in getting any pay at ALL
That in some cases they had been in service
some FIVE or six months.
iafi Mr.. Hutehins was badgered good

Important ExPeFimeutB--Beot sagur.
AT the late Stale SorghO Convention at
Columbus, Mr.. A. Mott, Frsnohman re-
siding near Newark, made some interest
ing and important statements relative 70
his success in manufacturing sugar from
beets. He exhibited some ten pounds Of
fair crysislized sugar, in quality as good
IS maple sugar, which he had manufsetur-
ed from beets, and said that by the end Of
next month he viii exhibit some snow white
beet sugar. He has already delivered to
purchasers, four thousand pounds and has
get beets enough to yield thirty thousand
pounds more, at cost Of not over four
cents per pound. He states that the Ger
man beet, on American soil, increases its
per centage Of sugar about four in thir-
teen; that is, he says, ought not TO OBJ
tain more than Z Of sugar and molasses
from the beet that contains 1S, on account
ofmy imperfect process Of open pans and
email press. Sill, I obtain II from the
same, and I know the difference is to be
sscribed to soil and climate, rather than
to any skill" The subject Of the manu-
facturs Of beet sugar viii soon be brought
before the Legislature and such assistance
asked for as will enable Mr.. Mott to place
the benefit of his experiments before the
agriculturists Of the State. By encOurag-
ing this culture heavy tax for import du-
ties VIII be saved to the State. A statisti-
clan says that Ohio now imports eo,OOO,-
600 pounds Of sugar at cost of s5,OOO,-
600, upon which we psy duty Of 81, ,25O,-
900. In 1858 France produced Isl, 800 tons
Of beet sugar and there is no reason why
we may not do as well ih this country
with equally efficient machinery, the soil
and climate Of the State being adapted to
the production Of the sugar beet.
