ANOTHER PATRIOT GoNE.-We are panied
to learn Of thu death of our young friend
Chas. Schenck, OF the 18th Iowa regiment
He died at the residence Of his father Capt.
Schenck, in West Liberty, last Monday night,
of typhoid fever. He was one of that noble
band of patriots who on the first alarm that
our country was in danger, rushed to its res
cue, when the two companies were forming in
this city for..the afterwards immortal "Frst"
He joined the company then forming under
Capt Mason, and was with them in the terri
bic battle of Wilson'S Creek, in which engage
ment Company suffered so terribly, at
which battle Schenck was severely wounded.
He returned home, but not to stay. He soon
after rejoined the army, becoming a member
Of company B, 18th Iowa regiment, of which
company he was member at the time of his
death, but for some time he has been detached
and engaged in the Commissary Depar tment
under his father, Capt Schenck. He came
home few weeks ago on some business, and
while here was attacked with the disease
which has resulted in his death. He was a
noble hearted, patriotic and brave young man.
His untimcly death will be regretted by a
large circle of friends.

in itself an Encyclopedia of inestimable value
to every man who makes any pretentions to

the way of mahy hundred beautiful illustra-
lions, extensive table of synonyms, several
thousand words of recent origin, classical
quotations, &C., &C., have added very much
to this Incompatible work, and no man who

Ing does not seem to be much retarded by the
SHOWS, which blanket the earth from damage
by the atmospheric cold. Some of the resi-
dents here at Fort Kent. for example, who
have formerly lived on the Kennebec or Sandy
rivers, feel the long winters and sigh for "out-
side" with its society and comforts. Especially
does their remoteness from the coast vex their
patriotic souls in these times of war. A week
is a long time to wait the arrivals of Portland
or Bangor papers with the latest intelligence.
To be sure there is the telegraph line twenty
miles below Fort Kent on the English side
which sometimes drops a word ofpassing INTEL
ligence. But they have learned to distrust it. as
liable toa tincture of"secesh" prejudice Their
latest printed news is received by Quebec pa
pers, which reach them in about two DAYS after
being printed. Some of our readers are not
aware that this whole region is nearer to the
st. Lawrence, practically and actually than
TO the Atlantic. A new road up the NADIA
waska river reaches the ST. Lawrence at the
Ririere du Loup, in about eighty miles. From
that point the railway to Quebec makes short
work with mails and travellers. Our lumber
men on the head waters of the St John, have
still more direct and shorter winter road,
by which their supplies are brought into camp
from Quebec. Then they have the st. John
itself-the highway TO their natural seaport,
the city of ST. John. Thus they are isolated
in business point of view from the southern
slope, and the principal cities of Maine A
railroad up the Penobscot and down the
streams emptying into the St. John, to some
point at the banks of that river, is one of our
political and military necessities. Let the gen.

in hand, not merely as means of national de-
fense, but as slight consideration for the cur
tailment of our territory in the Ashburton-
