Sad Calamity.

The worst carricature ever made
on the face of the earth, or on the
face ofman, is that in the last Har-
per's Weekly which purports to be
the likeness of Major-General Bel
knap the new Secretary of War.
Moreover they have got him born
in the wrong place, with the wrong
initial for the middle of his mono
gram, and commanding Division in
the wrong Corps ofthe Army of the
Tennessee;
Next to being killed in battle and
having your name spelled wrong in
the bulletin, is the exquisite misery
of waking up some fine morning and
finding yourself SO famous that the
cartoonists are compelled to proceed
VI ct armis to amucilate" your
elegant phiz, or else to tho selecting
of a picture at random from some
rogues gallery, to be engraved and
passed off on dcluded public, as your
counterfeit presentment.
In this sad affiiction tho new Sec.
retary has our profound and unmixed
sympathy.

Secretary BeIknap.

Genl. Belknap's appointment as
Secretary Of War was urged by Shor-
man, and made by Grant, without
Belknap's knowledge or solicitation.
Belknap having served under the
immediate notice of Grant and Sher-
man for something over four years,
it is supposed that those eminent
military functionaries knew their
man. ..,st -.
His appointment has moreover met
with the universal and hearty appro-
baton of his military comrades. who
served with him, nine-tenths of whom
are Radical Republicans.
Besides all this testimony to his
worth and eminent fitness for the
place, from men who ought to know
him, the press Of the country with
wonderful unanimity has pronounced
in his favor, with the exception Of
the Chicago Times. The Iowa State
Register, and the Red Oak Junction
Montgomery county Erpress.
Of these papers the opposition of
the satanic Times was not only ex-
pected, but desired; that of the
Register was unexpected but was i'm
mediately retracted when it felt the
throbbings Of the public pulse, while
the hostility of tho Montgomery
county luminary fills all hearts with
dismay, and falls upon the public ear
very much like the coarse voice Of
John Hook bawling through the
American camp at the close of the
Revolutionary War "Beef! Beefr'
Meantime, we hope that Mr.. Sec.
retary Belknap will not feel himself
constrained to resign under this pow
erful pressure.

The Last Ditch.

The rebel Democracy have iounC
the last ditch, and with tho intamou,
gold gamblers who got terribly bit in
their rascality are heralding the Ii
bel upon the President that he was
connected with the dlsgraceinl gold
operations in Wall street. This
sweet morsel Of grand and toplittica
falsehoodis just now right in hand 70,
the mendacious sheets OF the democ.
racy, when there seemed to be sc
great a dearth of material for them
to make up their political columns
with.
The charge is fabrication of the
cunning and fertile brains Of the
scoundrcls who failed in their ras.
cally schemes, by the govcrnmen,
stepping into the market with few
spare millions of gold; and being un.
able in any way to compromise the
integrity of tho President or his of:
fcers, they now desire to attach to
him if possible tho odium of their
own acts. This Is no new thing for
felons and wrong doors to try to
drag down with them honest men.
Though the President has taken
the trouble to deny the charge, still
Democratic vilii6ers and gamblers
continue to opeddle the story upon the
principle no doubt that lie well
stuck to, will find here and there a
believer.

A Fogey Fight.
A remarkable contest is now goin

A remarkable contest is now going
on in New Hampshire.
Hon VIM. E. Chandl or, late Assist
ant Secretary Of the Treasury, and
| now the accomplished and efficient
Secretary of our Nstional Republi.
can Executive Committee, charges
Hon. Geo. g. Fogg, late minister to
Switzerland, and later Republican
Senator from N. 81. to fill out the va
cancy occasioned by the appointment
Ex-senator Clark to the bench Of the
U. 8. Dist. Court, with having ap-
preached the Hon. J. g. Sinclair,
democratic candidate for Governor OF
that state in 1868, with a deliberate
proposition to carry New Hampshire
bodily over to democracy, and to
Chase, providing that the latter emf
nent renegade, was nominated at
New York.
Fogg edits the Patriot, and Chan
dler is understood to control the
Statesman, the two leading papers,
not only in Concord, but OF the en-.
tire state.
Chandler proposes to forfeit ten
thousand dollars if he fails to prove
Fogg's proposed troachery. Mean
time Fogg is dodging tho issue as
usual.
Chandler represents the live, ag-
gressive, Young American Repblican
party OF that state, and was Chair
man Of the Republican State Central
Committee which gave us the first
gun for Linccln, in 1860, and under
whose admirable leadership the
state has done gloriously since.
Fogg represents the barnacles, and
corruptionists, and antediluvians.-
As we understand the fight, we shy
our beaver into the Chandler ring.

Water transportation.

1t has long been much agitated
question to effect continuous line of
water communication from the Miss
issippi river, by the way of the great
lakes and the Erie Chnal to the At
lantic sea-board, and to effect this, it
has been proposed to unite the wa.
tcrs of the Fox and Wisconsin riv-
ers. ,t
The late convention held ut Port
age City, Wis, and over which Gov.
Merrill presided, had for its object
the furtherancc of this great work.
The following were the resolu-
tions adopted:
Res0toed, That water route by
which steamboats, OF the Mississippi
river can run to the harbors and un-
load into the vessels of the great
lakes is public necessity.
ResotUed That it has been shown
by government surveys that such u
route can be made through the Fox
and Wisconsin rivers; the original
policy of the government to make
them public highways shall be car
ried out. 1t substantially pledged
itself TO do this when it kept the
control of these streams by the act
which admitted Wisconsin as State
into the Union.
Resolved, That as late surveys
made by the general government
show that the cost of uniting the
Mississippi with the great lakes by a
steamboat cbaniel will not greatly
exceed four millions of dollars
which is not as much as the saving
such route would make in each year
in the carrying trade Of the North
west--it would therefore be u great
injustice and gross wrong to put off
this important work.
ResoiUed, That as the Erie Canal,
with its contracted channel, It's nu-
merous and small lakes, the slow
movements of it's boats with horse
power, which crnnot exceed 3G miles
in twenty-four hours, has, with these
great drawbacks, kept down freight
charges; 1t is therefore clear that a
river with few Urge locks, which
can be navigated by steamboats,
moving $50 miles in twenty-four
hours, would protect the Northwest
ern States from unreasonable charges
or dangerous combinations.
Resolued, That the great and grow
ing commerce of the Erie Canal, in
the face of the greatest competition
in our country, shows that water
routes are demanded; without them
the value of many course productions
are lost, as they cannot be carried to
market other wise. Railroads, by
giving activity to the business of the
country, by filling it with population
have made water routes necessary to
meet the varied commercial wants of
great and prosperous community.
Resolced, That the want of the
Northwest is cheap transportation;
that this can only be secured by a
water route which all have a right
to use, with their own vessels, upon
equal terms, thus giving the public
the benefit of free competition.

Driving sweet Potatoes,

Quite controversy is gong on
between DR.. t. w. Smith, Of Virgin
ia, and DR.. c. X. Marshall, as to the
right of certain method by which
sweet potatoes may be preserved by
drying. The method may be new,
but the idea is anclnt rs many OF
our cold time" people can testify.
Their method In the primitive days
was to cut in slices the potatoes,
place on a board or pan near the
stove, until the slitos become hard
and dry; they were then put in 4 dry
place, aud used when desired. The
potato cured in this way will keep a
we'll a. ship biscuit, and retain theil
original sweetness. Let our iarmel1
try the eXperiment-the work tur
uishes excellent employment for tn
long eyenings.- Ratci9h, " c. Stand

Terrible Disaster.

The steamer .Stonewalr' was
burned on the Mississippi River at
Neeleys Landing, 125 miles below
st. Louis, on Wednesday evening
9th inst, and the entire list of the
crew and passengers, consisting Of
l60 persons we're burned to death.
and drowned, except 10 passengers,
and three of the crew.
The steamer caught fire from u
candle, igniting a bale of hay, blythe
light of which some deck passengers
were playing cards.
She was run ON II gravel bar, the
pilot supposing that the passengers
could have made shore on the bar
Unfortunately, at the end ofthc bar
there was slough, and there it was
that the larger number were drown
ed. The boat was not run on the bar
but two feet and the shalowest part
about her had five or six feet Of wat
er. The BOAT mad so much hay aboard
that she burned like tinder and all
efforts to put out the fire were una
vailing.
Quite number of ladies were On
board; all probably lost except one,
Mrs. Fulkerson. The pilot and the
carpenter were the only ones Of the
crew saved.
