who VIII Answer?

A Chicago sculptor has made q model of =
grand monument to be erected over the grave Of
Douglas. The monument 10 a tall, graceful
shaft, with bases having bas reliefs and statues,
and including mauGoleum The total height
will be 100 feek and the visitor to the city, from
whatever direction, by land or by water, will
behold the column pricking the blue OF the sky.
Exchange
If our memory serves us well at the
present moment, not long ago some man
prominent among the Democrats held
himself out to the world as an agent for
the douglas Monument Fund" and
solicited subscriptions to aid in erecting
a monument over the remains of the Ia
mented Douglas. Whether dime was
ever contributed by the citizens of this
county to that fund our people have
never been apprized. We suppose not,
however. From the paragraph we here
with publish it will be seen that only a
model of grand monument has been
completed! Why is it that the Demo-
cratic organs Of this county have had
nothing to say relative to this work p
Are the funds adequate to the work.
How much was contributed in the coun-
ty? Who can tell?

The Tariff Bill

Has passed the Senate with some
amendments as it came from the House.
It must now return to the latter branch
of Congress, when we hope it may re-
ceive speedy but careful consideration.
Among the numerous provisions of the
bill are the following:
The duty on tea remains at 25 cents
per pound as fixed by the House.
The duty Oh railroad iron was fixed
by the Senate at 60 cents per cwt., while
in the House it stands at 80 cents.
Mr.. Sprague's motion to strike out the
tax of two cents per pound on raw or
manufactured cotton was rejected,
while that of Mr.. TenEyck to fix an ad
vdloren duty of ten per cent. on unsold
diamonds and precious stones, was
adopted.
Ten per cent. ad volorena is imposed
on all goods and growth of countries
East of the Cape of Good Hope, except
raw cotton, in addition to duties on such
articles when imported direct from
places of growth or production.
A duty of IS per cent. ad valorem is
imposed ON hair cloth.
The duty on salt in bulk was fixed at
IS cents per 100 pounds, and in packages
at &c cents.
An import duty of Is cents per pound
on Glove stems, So per pound on oil of
cloves, 10 cents per pound on liquorice
in rolls, $3.50 per pound on gallic acid,
furs or skins, undressed, SO per cent. ad
valorens, jute .carpeting 81 cents per
square yard, &C., and so on.
The vote on the final passage of the
bill was % yeas, 5 nays. The latter all
Copperheads.

AN Iowa GENERAL.-The Cincinnati
Gazette is the most faithful historian of
Iowa valor on the battle field among all
our exchanges outside of this State. Its
correspondent with Sherman's army,
writing from near Dallas, June Sd, in
detailing the operations of MePherson's
command, thus speaks of Major General
Dodge:
Hardly had the first half hours fighting end
ed, until General Dodge made his appearance at
Walkers battery carrying before him on his
horse a box of canister! He had heard that
their canister was gone, and unable to find the
proper officers in such melee, he went himself
and carried all he could. He also seized two
wagon loads of infantry ammunition, from the
18th corps which were passing and sent boxes
ginning there was but forty rounds to the man,
these were not gone until bountiful supply
was at hand.'
That's the kind of men Iowa sends to
fight the battles of our country, Mr..
Gazette, and we are happy to say that
you have correspondent that aims at
justice in his letters. The same letter
makes favorable mention of Col. Rice,
of the 7th Iowa, now in command of a
brigade, and says that a portion of the
9th Iowa was surprised and captured
while at breakfast on the 9th.

1t will be recollected that after For
rests retrograde movement from Ken
tucky, Il cavalry expedition was organ-
lied under Gen. Sturges, and sent in
pursuit of the retreating enemy. Stur-
ges met the enemy at Guntown and af-
ter a severe fight, in which our forces
lost 1000 men, mostly prisoners, four
teen pieces OF artillery and two hundred
wagons, retreated towards Memphis
Gen. Sherman has placed Gen. A. j..
Smith in command of our forces at
Memphis, who will at once assume the
offensive
Since the retirement of our gallant
fellow townsman, Gen. Hatch, from
Tennessee, we have had no successful
expedition against Forrest and his asso-
ciates. Why not put him on theirtrack
again. He has fought that ground over
often enough to entitle him to try his
hand once more against those, whom he
never met but to repulse.
P. s. Later intelligence from Mem
phis says that an expedition under Gen.
Mower had left that city to effect the
object of Sturges' expedition, We sup
pose the 35th Iowa comprises portion
of Mowers force.

p4r Morgan's raid into Kentucky has
proved almost as disastrous to the great
horse-thief as his former tour through
Ohio. It.now appears that he brought
into the State about $500 men. How
many he recruited we do not know. At
Mt. Sterling, he lost, in killed wounded
and prisoners, eight hundred. At Gym
thiana, his losses foot up seven hundred,
including five hundred prisoners. Thus
$500 out of the original $500 are used
