OBITUARY.



Moses Fowler Odell, Naval officer at New
York, died at haltpast IL yesterday, after long
and torturing illness, which he bore with manly
and Christian tOrtttude.
he was a member OF Congress, Of constantly
visiting the hospitals, and IN other ways per-
sonaly caring for the welfare and comfort of
the soldiers around washington, has endeared
his name TO men in every part of the country,
was born in TarTytown, N. Y, February "a,
1918. His parents reno we'd to New York while
he was still youth, and here he received q
common school education, and at an early age
entered the Custom House as clerk.
BY diligence and taithtulness he rose from
place to place OF trust, until he became Assist
ant Collector, during the administration Of Pre-.
sident Polk. His conduct of the affairs of the
Custom House won for him the regard of his
felow.citizens. He had clear head, and could
unravel the intrcacies of tariffs as few who
have held the Office could do. He became so
indispensable in the Custom House that he was
retained in the place Of Assistant Collector
under several Collectors.
During the administration of Mr.. Buchanan
| Ir. Odell held the post of Public Appraiser at
| New York. In 1860 he was elected to Congress
to represent the Brooklyn district. In April,
| 1861, he made one of the first war speeches in
| his district, and used his influence among his
| party with all his might TO secure their support
! OF the war for the Union. He helped 10 raise
| the famous 18th Regiment OF Brooklyn
| His speeches and conduct at home gave him
| the confidence of the Unonists, in the extra
| sessions Of July, 1861, when he first took his
seat He was the leader OF the War Democrats;
| and he was placed, when it was formed, upon
| the Committee on the Conduct of the War, one
| OF the most important in that Congress.
He was reelected to Congress, and would
| have been elected for third term had he not
| declined to serve. He spoke but seldom in Con-
| gress; but served faithfully on the committees
| of which he was member; and was conspicuous
| for his zeal and care to the welfare of the sol
! diers III the armies and in the hospitals. 1t is
| believed that the seeds of his last illness were
| contracted by exposure on the battlefield o.
| Fair Oaks, whittier he had gone 10 help care fol
the wounded, and in the hospital ships on the
| river.
Mr.. Odell was a warm and trusted friend o.
| Mr.. Lincoln, who valued very highly his oubliC
| services and disinterested character. He wa;
also on the most intimate friendly terms witt
| MIR. johnson, who served during one session
with him, on the Committee on the Conduct o
the War; When Mr.. johnson became Presiden
| he appointed Mr.. Odell Naval Officer, a pos
which he was in every way qualified by eXpe
rience and training to ill to the satisfaction 0
the merchants and the Government.

Benjamin Mlllin, who was yesterday con.

known to thousands of our citizens, and espe
cially to the members connected with the news
paper press of PhiladelphIa. Early in life he
was associated with the lion. Simon Cameron
in publishing the Doylestown Democrat. In
1926 he commenced business in Philadelphia,
with Mr.. r. Parry, book printer. When the
Weekly PennsylUdni0n was started, about the
commencement OF the struggle between Andrew
Jackson and the United States Bank, Mr.. Miitlin
became associated with the paper Joseph G.
Neal, author of the famous Charcoal Sketches" !"
was editor of the Peansy o dniG1 at the time. In
1882 the publishers were induced to issue adaily
in support OF President jackson.
About the year 1874 Mr.. Milflin retired from
the PennsylUdnidn, being succeeded by A. Boyd
Hamilton, Esq, and shortly afterwards he started
Nedrs Saturday Gazette a weekly paper which
achieved great success, and was known and
sought after the Union over. Mr.. Mffin was a
man of genial feeling, and was universally re-
spected by all who knew him. He was among
those who assisted to make the reputation of
Philadelphia Journalists reputat on which
has been felt throughout the entire Union. His
funeral was attended by large number of per-
sonal friends, together with the members of
Rising Star Lodge, A. Y. NJ, and Philadelphia
an old and highly respected member.

THE ITALIAN THEATRE OF WAR.

THE ITALIAN THEATRE OF WAR
The province for the freedom of
which the war is to be waged lies in the
northeastern angle of Italy. II is
bounded westerly by the river Mincio
and the Lago di Gardo, northerly by
the Alps, southerly by the Po, while its
eastern verge rests upon the Adrlatlc
and the Austrian territories of Trieste
and Dalmatia. Venice, the capital, is
dropped into the sea not far from the
outlets of the Po. To the scholar this
region is forever rendered classic as the
birthplace of Levy and Virgil and Ca
tullus; the name of its towns, of Padua,
while the comedies sofShakspeare live;
to the military student each foot is
memorable as the theatre of the greater
Napoleon's earlier glorieS; to the Italian
it is sacred as the scene of popular suf-
ferings and political martyrolOgy, the
recollection of which heats the blood
as tropical natures only can be heated.
To defend this outlying bit of empire,
Austria has established on the only APP
proachable land side quadrangle OF
Notifications, so formidable as almost
to forbid access. They are the great
fortresses of Mantua, Peschiera, Leg
nano, and Verona; Mantua, in the CEN
tire of a low-lying district, all of which
may be flooded in periods of danger,
and it is flooded at present. Peschiera,
at the foot of the Lago dt Garda, COM
mandiug that beautiful water, and
forming the northern extremity of
chain of defences, which render the
Mincio from Mantua to the Lake prac-
tically impassable; Verona, with its
fortified camp, and Legnano in the rear
of Peschiera and Mantua, forming the
supports of the others, and intimately
connected with the German frontier,
and the ultimate base of Austrian
defence, by the Venetian system of
railroads, now used exclusively by
The swamps of the
Po debar an Italian advance by the
way of the Romagna. To assault
Venetia the fleet of gentleman King"
may approach Venice, or threaten Pola
and Trieste; the regular army of Della
Marmora may attack the defences of
the Mincio, from which Napoleon Ill.
recOiled; and the volunteers, swarm
ing across the Lake, or, in keeping with
the intrepid tactics of Garibaldi, turn
ing its northern extremity, may appear
on the Austrian flank.
These movements probably describe
the projected campaign of the Italians
movements doubtless anticipated by
the Austriaus, and more or less secure
ly provided against. The question is,
will the impassive masonry and the
stoIid columns of Austria prove nde-
the peninsular people, who, as the
manifest, inherit many of the qualities
which crushed the Teutons and ami

Missouri Politics.
From me 81. Pua Press, June Ion.


The political campaign in Missouri is
being prosecuted with great yigor and
spirit, or, more properly, with great
fury and fierceness on both sides. The
renegade Frank Blair is stumping the
State against the Radicals, and EX-Gov.
Stone, of Iowa, is after him with a
sharp stick.
The political quarrel in Missouri is a
sort of projection of the old Kansas
struggle, not only as to the principles
involved, but more particularly as to
the social elements arrayed against
each other in the controversy, and the
weapons employed by the parties. 1t
is n contest between the bold border
ruffians turned rebel bushwackers on
the one side, and the loyal free State
men on the other. The latter are call
ed Radicals, and according to Frank
Blair are terrible set of fellows. The
former disguise the cut-throat ferocity
of as graceless a set of Williams
as ever went unhung under the
mild and highly respectable appella-
ton of Conservatives. They are Con-
conservatives of the black-haired,
darkeyed, ByroniC, COrsair type, AMI
mated with patriotic devotion to their
neighbor'S henrOoStSi and romantic
passion for midnight murder. The new
Missouri constitution imposes an oath
OF loyalty as Suffrage qudlluCdLlOu'
with the view of excluding these gay
and gallant chevaliers from the polls.
But the oath was based on the rash
presumption that the rebel bushwhaCk-
ers had consciences, and the result
proves that they are not generally af-
flicted in that way. A few of them,
however, are embarrassed with super
stitious qualms upon the subject, and
the efforts of Frank Blair being mainly
directed to overcoming any latent pre-
judice against perjury that may exist
enough to insure a rebel majority in the
Legislature, which shall return Frank
Blair to the Senate in place of Gratz

The Democratic Opinion of Soldiers.
The New York. Day Book, the organ
of the Democracy of the Eastern States,
in noticing the decoration OF the graves
OF the Confederate soldiers by the peo-
pie of Richmond, on the 31st of May,
says:
Thank God the vandals who dis
graced the name of American soldiers,
and who plundered defenseless soldiers
homes under the Sanction of Lincoln
and Stanton, had not the power TO beat
It back, the God-given right to shed
tears, and to hold sacred in memory
the ones who were to them dear and
worthy
Who will shed tears over the graves
of hundreds of Northern officers, who
robbed, burned and pillaged the homes
of innocent parties? Angels may weep
over their sins, but mortals never Will
over their virtues, and who will weep
over the graves ofthe tyrants, towards
and tools of tyrants, who went ABOUT
the country mobbing men for an opln-
ion, imprisoning men for their beief,
and beat their brains ont with clubs
for not shouting lie in praise OF tyran-

Responslhllltr or pnnkers.

An interesting cgse was lately before
Judge Storer and n jury in Cincinnati,
involving the question of the response
bility of bankers and others in the mat
ter of special deposits. The aCtion was
brought by w. III. Vandewater and
against Larkin, Fox & Co., to recover
81 600, the value of two 7-30 bonds for
$500, alleged to have been left as spe-
cial deposit in the bank of the defend
ants on the 1lth of June, 1865. Mr..
Vandewater stated that the bonds were
the property of his wife, inclosed in an
envelope on which her name was writ
ten; that when he called for them, on
the 1Ith of September, they could not
be found, and the defendants refused to
pay him their value. The Cincinnati
Gdzette says:
The testimony showed that the de-
PENDANTS, when called upon for the
bonds, stated that they thought they
had paid them to Mrs. Nandewater;
then that they had delivered them to
Mr.. v, and finally that they were lost
in some way. They had some cause for
suspicion against an employe in the
bank, but they could not find any deti-
mite grounds of suspicion that he took
these bonds.
The defendants claimed that they had
received this deposit without having
given any receipt, and without exam
lining whether it contained the amount
named on the envelope; that they noti-
fed the defendants that, as they receiv-
ed no compensation for the care of the
bonds, they would not be held liable
for their loss as in cases where they re-
ceived deposits in the regular way.
They said they placed these bonds in a
tin box. in which they were in the habit
of placing all the special deposits they
received. This box was placed in a
strong safe and never taken out, so that
no one except officers or clerks in the
bank had access to it. They had long
been in the habit of taking special de-
posits, and this was the firstinstance in
which they had lost anything.
The jury found, under the charge,
principal and interest for the plaintiffs.

AcCuRDINe to n Richmond letter,
there are three political parties in Vir-
ginia. The Radicals. under the lead of
Judge Underwood, John Minor Bolts
and Governor PeirpoInt, are the small
est of the three. The National Union
ists-meu who are willing to follow the
lead of Alexander Rives, L. n. Chand-
Ter, Joseph Segar and Robert Ridge
way-are more numerous, but not well
organized. Thethird and largest party
is the Democratic, which comprises
most of the men who were active rebels,
and acknowledges the lead of A. H. IA.
Stuart, John B. Baldwin and Henry a.

Austria has assigned some threehun-

fence of Yenetia. The Italians have
about an equal number OF regular
troops confronting them, commanded
in chief by Gen. Della MarmOra, with
the veteran generals Cialdini and Dur
ando as subordinates. But the most
effective part of the peninsular army IS
the volunteer force, headed by
Garfbaldi, numbering already 100 900

largely reinforced by refugees from
