ing of Company Z, 18th Iowa Infantry,

mer boy, HARRY v. FooTE, who died at
burlington, Iowa, from disease contracted
during the late campaign, on the 4th day
of July, 1868, the following Resolutions
were offered and unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, We have learned with sor-
row of the death of our little drummer
boy, HARRY v. FooTE; therefore,
Resolued, That in him we have indeed
lost well beloved companion, generous
comrade and an open hearted friend.
ReSotued, That in his cheerful endurance
of the fatgues and hardships of the march,
and the dangers of the battlefield, and in
his READINGS to perform every duty, we re-
cognize the soul of the faithful, courageous
patriot, animating the frame of the child,
and we have the more need to lament the
early sacrifice of his life to his country.
Resolved, That in our memories his name
and character shall ever remain as a bright
example of faithful devotion to duty. even
when these days Of bloodshed shall be past
forever.
RESOLVED, That to his bereayed parents
and friends We send our heartfelt sympa-
thies, and may she, who doeth all things.
we'll, give that comfort to their sorrowing
hearts which He alone can give.
RESOLVED, That a copy Of these Resolu-
ions be sent TO UARRY's parents. and q
opy furnished the HGWk-Eye for publica-
ion.

BURLINGTON WEEKLY .HAW "a nv

t - The Butternuts, who are always in
capable ofseeing or weighing either truth
or fact, used to air their devotion to the
slavemongers by asserting the superior
riches Of the South. According to these
apostles Of a new scheme of political econo-
my, the North was poor, the South rich,
and all the national wealth was the result
OF Southern ability, and,its benefaction to
the North All this talk was the baldest
absurdity and falsehood. Everybody that
had sense enough to know black from
white in the day time, knew it was absurd
and false. But if any ever doubted, the
present civil war has demonstrated the lor
cality Of the national riches, enterprise,
energy and ability. There can no longer
be any question about it. The North has,
we might almost say, the whole of it, and
pretty much all the South can pretend to
possess, it got from the North.
Aside from this demonstration, one fact
should always have been conclusive. All
national wealth is the product Of labor
Where there is most labor there is most
wealth. The people Of the North, as a
>AAssSS3
negroes are almost exclusively the labor
ers. In the North, a large proportion of
the labor is skilled labor. In the South IL
is mostly merely manual and servile.i The
products Of the labor of the two sections
are different in kind, quality and quantity.
And unless men assume that 1900, ooO, ne
groes can can produce more than 10000, 600
whites, it is plain that Northern wealth has
nearly an incompatible preponderance
over that of the South. The South is, and |
always , was, poor beyond the conception of
those who have not been through it. II I
had te'0 rich men who dazzled their But
tern NJ worshippers by theireprofuse lax-
pen,ditures. But these were the a,{tocrats,
who fed fat on the sweat and, blood of
slaves. The poor whites and the unfortu-
nate slaves were alike beyond conception
STEPPED, in poverty. Thus it is there, and

~ correspondent Of the, New York
+ Times tells pretty story as to the manner
in which Thurlow Weed prevented Louis
Napoleon from joining the English Minis
try in denunciation Of this country for the
stone blockade of Charleston 6harbor. 1t
seems that by the treaty of Utrecht, France
bound :, herself to, obstruct the har-
Dor of Dpnkirk, thes second best in the
Kingdom, so that it could no longer be
used as naval depot; that it not only made
the treaty but did the deed, and itremains
useless to this day. Weed called the sat
tention OF DeMorny to this by no means
fattering treaty stipulation just in time to
have the Imperial denunciation dropped
out OF the address to the French Legisla-
ture, in which it was already written
And since that time we have heard no
more about the stone blockade either from
France or England. It is q very nice sto-
~, but whether it be true or bit OF pleas

BAD FOR THE CLERKs.-A washington
correspondent of the New York Tribune
says that Board has got so exorbitantly
high at that city that some three or four
hundred Of the Department Clerks are
making arrangements to find lodging at
Baltimore. The Railroad is to run a spe-
clal train for their benefit and supply them
with comm utation tickets at low rate. He
goes on to say that Clerks with families
are hardly able to obtain board for the
whole amount Of their salaries. If this is
the case now, what will it be when Con-
gress opens, and the crowd of strangers
and the demand for "food and lodging is
thereby vastly increased. Clerkships. un-
