Farmer B. wa setting in the country
church, He had been working hard in
the harvest fed. Hands were scarce,
ane farmer B. was doing. The loud
tones of the minister failed 10 arouse the
farmer, until at length the time waning,
the good man closed The lids of the Bible,
and concluded as follows: "Indeed, my
hearers. the harvest is p~lenteous but the
laborers are few" "Yes," exclaimed
farmer B., Eve offered two dollars a
day for Graders, and can't get 'em at
that"

The demolition of Fort Sumter BY
guns placed at a distance Of two and
iVe-eights miles, has demonstrated the
necessity Of facing our forts with plates
Of wrot-iron. When Gen. Totten made
his experiments some years since, it was
found that plates 8 inches in thickness,
when we'll backed by solid masonry,
were practically ~impregnable by the ar
tillery in use at the time but the intro
duction eff rifed cannon has so greatly
increased the efficiency Of ordnance hat
it may require two 8-ineh plates to pro-
to protect the walls of the forts. This
would be enormously expensive, but In
the end will be the best economy. ANY
money expended in building and main
tanning an Inefficient fort is simply wasted

TnE CAUSE OF THE LATE DIsAsTER.-
The Washington lntelhgencer, great
ly impressed with the disaster near
Chattanooga, says of the troops and
managers of the war, that
at is not for us at present to APP
preciate the causes or the CONSEQUENT
ces of this disaster, which, it will be
seen, resulted bom the superiority of
the enomy's forces, concentrated in
this attack on Rosecrans. Why this
officer should be left TO cope with an
enemy superior in numbers, when the
means of reinforcing him were at the
command of the government, (which
is proved by the fact that reinforce
ments are now ON their way to him, J
is a question about which, as we know
nothing, we shall say nothing. 1t is
enough 10 say that, with our superb
ority in numbers, it is little singular
that on SO many occasions the enemy
has been able to give us battle with
the advantage of heavier columns on
his side. Whether il be from the in
terror lines on which the enemy oper-
ates, or from the greater CELEBRITY and
secrecy Of his movements, or from the
superior sagaoity of his strategy in the
general conduct Of the war, it is GER
tain that tho heroism of our troops
has often been put to tests which re-
fleet more glory on them than credit
on the military management to which
they are subject"

Artemus Ward on tho War.

Not many more cute things have
been said on the political managers of
this war than the following, which oc-
cursin Artemus Wards famous lecture
on "Ghosts:"
The last subject Of which 7 thought
was the war. When / was an appren-
tice to the printing business in New
Hampshire, having had controversy
with my employer, j ran away. / had
no money, and could not beg, so call
cd at farmhouse and asked il they
had any clocks to mend. They said
yes, and wished would fix it. ] took
the clock 10 pieces, ate my dinner, and
then looked at the table, where lay the
countless wheels. l knew that new
er could put that clock together again.
So / told the folks / was dizzy, and
would go out and get some fresh air,
and l fed across the meadows like the
bright-cyed gazclle, or anything else

CHIcAGo WooD PAvEMENTs- The
Board of Works in the city of Chica-
go have given the preference to wood
pavements over those of stone, as be-
ing the most durable of any kind yet
used there. The following is des-
cription of the method of construc-
ton Lay down flooring of l-inch
board on a bed of sand; coat the floor
with asphaltum stand on end blocks
of wood inches high, by three inches
thick and 9 inches in length, in rows
about inch apart, divided 10y strips of
boards. Fill in these open narrow
spaces with asphaltum. There is six
miles of these pavements in Chicago,
which after six years constant wear,
are found to be nearly as perfect as
when laid down.

The WHISPERS" An army cor
respondent in Virginia relates the fol-
lowing incident of one of the lodges
which are resorted to by soldiers to
obtain their discharge:
cone of the guards attracted my
attention, because he was apparently
voiceless. This soldier was robust
and strong, but could converse only
with "bated breath" or in low whis-
pers. -Four weeks he was on duty,
and / saw him daily, in calm or storm,
but he never spoke aloud. He said
he caught cold on the Peninsula, it
had settled in his throat, and since
then he could not talk. A few days
previous to the general movement of
the army, he succeeded by some STRAIT
egy in getting bottle of whiskey. OF
course, he made himself drunk. /
was walking up the yard into the
house late one evening. 1t was very
dark Suddenly some one seized me
by the foot, and in tremendous tones
ordered me To "halt." 1t was the
"Whisperer," for such his comrades
called him. He could talk louder
than /, and as he sang snatches of
hymns and songs, l fell asleep won
dering at tho strange phenomenon;
next morning sought him early, and
by dint of cross questioning, discov-
cred that he had been working all the
time for his discharge. He succeeded
so well rs to have his discharge pa
pers made out, and would soon have
been on his homeward way rejoicing.
But that fatal bottle of whiskey un-
loosed his tongue, and thus he was
betrayed He was&ot discharged.

NV RoUUE-From the best inlor-
nation we can obtain, we are led to
believe that Mr.. Crapo's Railroad from
Flint to the ID. & N. Railway viii be
built ria "the Horn" not the Grams
horn," but Gin horn. "-ZaSt Sagi-
adiC Courier.
We believe the Courier knows bet
ter. AT any rate, whatever may be
the object Of such misrepresentation,
those who build any calculations upon
them, will come out at the small end
of the "horn" the Courier speaks of.
It's "best information" is bad-bad as
can be. Nlessrs. J. B. Walton and G.
NJ Wright, of Detroit, have taken the
contract to build the Flint & Holly
Railroad, and have given heavy bonds
to complete the work by July lst,
1864. Already considerable forces of
men are at work at different points on
the route, and however distasteful the
fact may be to the Cowie,; we appre-
bend it will find the road progress not
only surely and steadily, but vigor-
ously.--FHmt Citizen.
We hope we have been misinformed
in regard to the "vim" and force of
this sure, steady and vigorous compa-
ny, who propose to build the aforesaid
road. The people of Saginaw want
it built, they know it might have been
and ought to have been built before
this time, but they have seen little to
encourage the hope that it ever will
be completed under present auspices.
The company who have considerable
forces" at work i'll October, vegetated
in February or March with abundant
promise-they were to have the road
completed III September--organized in
June, and eliminated at the usual
ripening season, mid-Autumn, by let
ting contract The same "dilly dali
ly" progress will undoubtedly COM
plete the work by July lst, 1SGi-in
horn. Heavy bonds by railroad
contractors, are heavy things some
times; they were too heavy for the
Z" Port Huron & Owosso," tho "Old
Pontiac" and the 'D. & NJ" for many
years, "and those who build any
calculations upon them will"-we fear,
but we hope not" come out at the
small end Of the horn"

Tho Elections.


Ia Ohio the election resulted in an
overwhelming republican victory, the
effect, as We regard it, OF obscuring
plain and just issue by personal and
political record which does not accord
with tho sentiments OF the democracy.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, still firm in
the opinions before entertained, which
areidontical with those of Mr.. Yallan-
digham, thus gracefully subsidies:
We now trust that the political wa
ters which have been lashed into such
violent turbulence, viii quietly subside
and that q calm more conclusive 10 re-
Election win follow. The republicans
have got their victory; they will enjoy
it with their accustomed enthusiasm,
while the democracy, now quiescent,
will look forward to the future, when
they will roll back defeat and obtain
in its place a substantial and perma-
nent triumph. To our democratic
friends we say, then, be up and doing;
while you submit 10 the will of the
people, you can look forward with
confidence to the sober second thought
which Will succeed the delirousness of
passion that has Just spent its force,
and upon its correct wisdom the fabric
Of democratic ascendency VIII be built.
The democratic party is only obscured
10y a temporary cloud, and viii soon
blaze out with refulgent lustre. You
have polled vote throughout the
State that is enormously far the
largest YOU ever gave--and in that
fact, and by your firm, compact and
solid organization, you have won the
respect, if not the fear, of your oppo-
nents. When two hundred thousand
citizens Of Ohio march i'll solid column
to the ballot-box and deposit ftheir
votes venal and INSCRIPTIONS men
should cease their clamor about trail
tors and treason. If they keep it up
after that demonstration, they will
simply expose themselves to contempt
and derision.
In Pennsylvania the powerof shoddy
was roU Sro''s - L, --.n~onne and Cur
tin is reelected 10y small majority.
Every appliance of money, executive
power, misrepresentation, fraud and
deception was used without stint, and
a bare victory after such superhuman
excrtions is by no means eXhilerating
to the Administration or discouTging
totho Democracy of the keystone State
There are lessons in the late elections
wherever held which cannot fail, il
we'll considered to be of great benefit
to tho Democratic party i'll the can
vass of 1864, and it is a question Will
us whether these temporary rcvcrses
will not leave us in better condition
for the great Presidential struggl,
than would series of premature vic
tories with the inevitable discords and
embarrassments incident thereto.
