GENERAL JAMES SHIELDs--We are
pleased to announce the election OF
Gen. Shields 10 Congress, from Van
Horns district, in Missouri, by 5ss
majority. Gen. Shields has already
represented two States, Illinois aud
Minnet ota,in the United States Senate,
and is now elected to the House OF
Representative from the third State
of which he has been Il citizen.
Gen. Shields had the distinction OF
defeating Stonewall jackson during
the late war, at Winchester, and for
his skill and bravery was nominated
by President Lincoln, to the Senate
US Major General. That Radical
body promptly rejected him, alleging
that he was insane 1t was more
however, on account of his Irish birth
and Democratic politics, than for the
renson assigned. The only evidence
of General Shields insanity was bis
whipping Stonewal Jackson, and il
was notorious that be had more intel
ect and more patriotism than the
corrupt partisans who attempted 70
disgrace him.-Erchdnge.

Louisville is said to be the largest
inland tobacco market in the country.
The stemming and re-drying estab-
lishments alone employ over 81 ,OO0,-
900 Of capital, which is being vastly
increased. The largest tobacco man.
ufacturer in the United States, and
perhaps in the world, is now putting
up a mammoth establishment there.
The aggregate amount of tobacco sold
from the four receiving warehouses
during the year which has just closed
was POS sos hogsheads, representing
an aggregate value of s3,6s6,637. For
1867 the amount was 39,542 hogs
heads, to the value of 81, i29,75S, and
for 1868 the amount was 81 1853 hogs
heads, to the value Of S4,379,sO2.
The new crop of tobacco promises to
be large one, and the sales the com
ing year, it is estimated, will reach
from $4,000 to $4,000 hogsheads, the
largest of any previous year The
value OF these immense sales will be
fully s6,000,000.

A STRANGE OMIssIoN-In all the

Browns services at Andersonville

he should have cabinet appointment
to console him for the loss of his friend
Wirz, who managed Andersonville for
him. Joe was dion" at Chicago,

An exchange says The pious Gen
eral Howard, for that is the character
in which he loves TO flourish in the
newspapers, encountered the other
day an angry parson in the streets of
Washington. Says the pious General,
''Dr Boynton, you are liar" Says
the belligerent parson, "If you had
Two arms, | would lick you" "Try
IT, cries the General, who, though
the hero of several hasty retreats, is
not afraid of a parson. Here, we pre-

On the fourth a March next Gen
cral Grant will resign the office Of
General Of the Army That will be a
most excellent time for the party In
power to show their regard for the
taxpayers ne well rs 20 prove the
sincerity of their profession Of econo-
my, by abolishing the office. Why
this should not be done we cannot
understand, save IL should be TO re
ward some political iavorite. We
cannot perceive the utility of an OIL
Ger of that grade in time of peace, II
General IN Chief is needed at all
for the army II is 10 time Of war--but
even then, it has been proven unneces.
sary We have passed honorably and
triumphanty through two foreign
wars and one rebellion, without the
aid of such an otlieer--and now, when
we are ut peace with all the world,
we cannot think that either the dis
cipline or efficiency of the army can
be promoted by the continuance of
such a high officer at an expense OF
more than 100000 per annum--in-
deed, the past three years have proven
that the existence OF the office Of Gen
eral has not improved, in any respect,
the efficiency and morale Of either
rank or file of our soldiery. The sta
biity of our Government depends on
our ability to pay the national debt
without enforcing upon the people ex-
otbitant taxation. Here is u rare
opportunity to save, at least, slOO, 900
per annum, (the expenses of the Gen
eral office, including salaries, rations,
&c, &c of the attaches will certainly
reach that amount) and this, too,
without detracting from the efficiency
of the army We hope President
Grant, in his first message, willrecom'
mend such action, and that Congress
will promptly and favorably act upon
that Recommendation. - Huntington

STRANGE FINAScEERINo.-The "loil''
Treasury thieves, just before the Pre-.
sidential election, informed the public
that the huge national debt had for
the month Of October been reduced
nearly ten millions of dollars, rather
unexpectedly, they confessed, by the
heavy payments on account of custom
dues. Now, the same fellows inform
the gullible public that the increase
Of the debt during the month of No
vember will exceed eleven millions.
These Treasury rats seem TO treat the
debt question with as much ease and
complacency as they would a foot
bali, and value the intelligence of the
tax.ridden citizen as not equal to that
of natural born fools. They seem to
compute and handle ten millions Of
dollars as glibly as the tobacco stumps
which they get their willing calves to
smoke.
