An EXAMPLE FOR GOVERNORS - The
Columbus (0hio) Journal states that a
few days since Gov. Brough met in the
streets young officer Of fine talents and
high connections but he was disgraceiully
drunk. Governor Brough Immediately
telegraphed the Secretary OF War. In.
forming him of the facts, and demand.
ing the prompt dismissal of the officer.
The demand was at once complied with
and he was dismissed with disgrace. On
recovering nom his debauch the officer
was astouished at the discovery OF his
misfortune He implored iorgivness
and the most strenuous Efforts were
made by friends of influence TO induce
the Governor to revoke. the disgraceful
dismissal. But it could not be done.
Turning with deep emotion, TO the
pleading offender, the Governor said TO
him firmly, but kindly cannot
grant your request" He assured him
that all his personal feelings were keen,
ly alive To the distress which his mis-.
conduct as an officer had involved him
in, but assured him that he never could
and never would tolerate drunkenness
on the part Of those under his control
TO whom public interests and the lives
OF others we're conhded; that, for years,
as President of railroad, he deemed 1t
his duty to dismiss at once any man
who used strong drink, because such
habits were inconsistent with the safety
of the lives that might be jeapordized
thereby. And much more so did he
deem it an imperious duty 10 dismiss
every officer, who, as such, Is in charge
of public interests and the lives of sol.
diers under their command. He, there
fore, could not, and would not, even I'm,
der the pressure of the influence and so,

spected and revercd, make any modifca,

great had been the danger TO our ar.

termined to extirpate the evil by prompt

JUDs0N IN RHYME.

Capt. Judson, the correspondent of the Erie Dis
patch, has come out in rhyme at last, Here
tits;
Old Moseby came down like wolf on the fold,
And his garments they looked very shabby and
old,
And the CLEAN Of his eye made him look unto
me
Very much like a man who had been on a spree
As the leaves of the forest when summer is come
Full Of sapl so was he, and his crew full OF rum,
AS the leaves Of the forest WHEN swimmer is gone
They lay around wilted and quite simmered down
For the spirit Of Rye went before with has sword
And smgte them because they had drank from Q
gourd,
For the spirit of r. never lets a man pass
Who dares 70 imbibe except from n glass
And u ere lay each rider all bloodless and pale,
Like all who imbibe too much whisky or ale
But when the morn broke and tho spirit hsG
passed,
They soampered away on the wings CT the blast

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS. - Messrs.
Leonard Scott e. Co., have sent us their
circular for the New Year. They have
for several years reprinted at least five
ofthe best English periodicals, namely
Blackwood's Magazine, the London
Quarterly, and the Edinburgh, West
minister and and North British Reviews,
which represent respectively, the Tory
element in English politics: the Con-
sentative; the Wing; the Liberal and
the opinions of the Church. The price
for any one of these periodicals for a
year is So; for any three, s. and for
the whole, $40. The postage to any part
of the United States is "a cents for
Blackwood, eight cents for each review
or fifty-six cents for the whole.
These are very cheap rates of obtaining
the best reading of the kind both fol
instruction and entertainment, that
there is in the world.

NATIONAL ExTRAvAGANcB.--W the
nation is running in debt at a rate which
may seem very trifiing to us, but which
posterity will be apt to regard with diff
ferent feeling, there seems to be an utter
recklessness of expenditure for objects
which might well be postponed. 1t
sounds very grand, no doubt, to talk of
the sublimity of faith with which our
government goes forward in all peace
full enterprise, as if there was certain
foresight of victory. 1t tickles our van
ity to think that the dome of the Capt.
tol has been steadily going up while the
rebels have plotted and fought for the
capture of Washington. 1t may seem
quite a dashing stroke of audacity to
hoist a colossal statue of Liberty, and
to order a painting for the interior of the
dome which it is said will cost forty
thousand d,t9ars--considering that this is
a mere fiea-bite to our daily war expen-
diture. But to our thinking an unfn-
ished Capitol would be a better orna-
ment Of the national metropolis than the
most magnificent structure built with
borrowed money. T ..na -a

A SINGULAR PARIsH-0ne can scarce

MATCHES AND OvBRMATcHEs. The
correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, in his account of the discussion,
saws: MIR Davis rose Immediately upon
the conclusion of Mr.. Wilson'S remarks
and delivered himself of very lengthy
and somewhat eloquent address, the
principal part of which was composed
of personal attacks upon his opponent.
1t is due to the cause of truth TO say.
that regarding the affair as an orator.
cal combat, the member from Massa-
chusetts came off second best"
The triumph of Mr.. Davis must have
been overwhelming when such an ad-
mission is extorted from correspondent
who fully sympathizes with the aboli-
ton Senator who offered the expulsion

porter. .....-
The inference of the Observer and Re
porter is very just. The correspondent
of the Commercial pays only half of what
is due to the cause of truth" though,
as the Observer intlmates the payment
ofthus much is a significant acknow-
Judgement of the whole. In order fully
to discharge the debt, he should have
said, that, whether we regard "the affair
as an oratorical combat or a personal
assault, or public arraignment or any
| other sort Of an issue, the member
| from Massachusetts came off second
best" Such is clearly the opinion OF
even the bulk of that Senator's own po-
iitical friends. The "affair" has seri-
ously damaged Senator Wilson without
