Col. Redfeld,

A short distance from the road
running from Wiscotta to Redficld,
on a beautiful mound near the scene
of his former labors, lies all that is
mortal OF Col. .Redfield. A splendid
monument has Just teen erected at
the grave by his family. II is Of the
purcst marble and stands twelve feet
high. The top is covered by the Ma
tional flag and swords, upon which
stands Americas free bird, the eagle,
with outspread wings, which is true
us life. Below the flag is chiseled
with fine accuracy the emblem of the
square and compass, and the letter
G. The inscription reads as follows:
Col. JAMES REDFIELD,
Killed in Battle,
October 10Th, 1861, ut
Altoona, Ga,
Aged
40 years, 6 months. day.
Near the base is cut in bold relief
the name Redtield. Its cost we un-
dcrstand was $500. The work was
done by Davis, of Des Moines, who
may be proud Of such workmanship.
Ills well that lis body should rest
here, near the scene Of his labors.-
Here on this lovely cminence, here
beneath these everlasting bills, here
In the sight Of these fair villages,
here within the sound Of their chin
ing bells, this monument is reared to
the patriot and statesman. Long
may it look out upon u glorious, free
aud prosperous countrywide Ga,
sette.
Everybody will agree that the last
paragraph Of the above is beautiful
and well deserved eulogy upon the
heroic dead Redtield; but it is some
what remarkable that Edward Ever
EFT should have had pretty much the
same ideas in his head, and language
from his lips, about q dozen years
ago, when he delivered an Grafton at
the Inauguration of DAHL Webster's
statue in the State House yard over
looking Boston common, and the dis
tant landscape, dotted with New Eng.
land villages.
Read the above from the Adei Ga
-ette again, and then the following
from E. Everett, on d. Webster,
(Which we repeat from memory
and observe the astonishing co-inci-
dence of language, and see how easy
it is for great men involuntarily to
jostle into the same thoughts and ex-
pressions:
Here upon this lovely cminence;
here within sound Of sacred bells !;
''here in closeproximity othe graves
"of those who hallowed the germ of
"this heavenly birth; here within
"sight of those New England villa
ges be loved so well, we raise this
monument to the statesman the
"fellow-citizen; the friend. Long
"may it stand to guard the APP
"proach to the halls of council, and
6 if the day of trial and disaster
"should come, doubt not that that
monumental form shall step forth
"from its pedestal, and the bronzed
{" lips re-echo the words OF the living
I" voice, Liberty and Union, now and
"forever, one and inseparable!'"

WHATS to Pay, aad How 1uch?

What's to Pay, and H0W Iuch?
We trust that our distinguished and
venerable Senator and very portly and
good-looking Representative will be
able to explain to the people just how
much their designations will cost.
We regard a statement of this kind
rs very necessary in order to enable
the people to determine whether these
geG.lemen are worth as Legislators
what they cost. We know that they
have already, where they could, drawn
pay to the end Of the session without
performing the legislation they were
sent to enact. They have cheated the
State out of three or four days labor
to start out with.
Next, they have defeated all the APP
preparation bills. which compels the
Governor to order a special election
in order to keep the machinery Of
State in motion. This extra session
will cost the State another $75, 1000 or
500 900, for the gentlemen will be as
prompt to draw their pay id advance
at the special, as they were at the reg
ular, session. Consistency viii com-
pei them, il reelected, to again resign
to prevent the Constitutional Amend
ment coming before them again for
action. Thus the taxpayers have the
interesting prospect Of going through
a series OF election, extra session,
and Democratic resignation farces at
a cost of from ons hundred 10 one hun-
dred and 6ly thousand dollars per
farce. This result must inevitably
occur. La the meantime orr benevo-
lent institutions must be closed and
their inmates scattered through the
country at an enormous expense to
the counties, and terrible suffering Ga, to
the unfortunates, unless Gov. BAKER
can borrow money enough to keep
them going on his y private respon-
sibility. All these things our Repre-
sentatives will De calledon to explain.
They may do it to the satisfaction Of
the people. If cur venerable Senator
can do it, he will have to talk l%ivelier
than he did during the last canvass, or
he will not have time enough between
now and the special election to make
the necessary expianatiOps.

INDTANAPoLTs, March 2, 1869.
Editors Journal:
The a~ll-absorbing trial of Mrs.
Glen for the murder of Jacob Young
and his wife in September last, near
this city. is finally concluded, and
your readers have the verdict-im-
prisonment for life. 1t IS a striking
confirmation Of the adage that " muir
der viii out" Daring the progress
of the trial the Court House attracted
so much attention that the city almost
forgot that the General Assembly
was operating at the State House.
Three actual working days only are
yet left for the Legislature, and very
much yet remains to be done, while
many very important measures are so
far IN the rear already, that they
cannot possibly be reached. The
Agricultural College is not located.
and is not likely to be very soon
certainly not at this session.
An appropriation for the State Nor

Tomorrow at 2 pm is the time set
for the special consideration OF the

Democrats are determined to prevent

it go over to another session. The
amendment proposed to your city
charter, in that event, will utterly
fail to become a law.

POstponement Of Henderson County
Land Sale.

THEE UNDEESIGNED, WHO WE'RE
II appointed commissioners by the Ken
tucky Legislature 10 s-uperIntend and con-
duet the " Henderson County Land sale"
of VIM. McLain, Esq, take this method of
to tine public that the drawing
OF prizes IN the enterprise has been post
poned until the lst day OF September, 1869
When, on the LIST OF october last, the enter
prise was laid before the pubic, It. was
~condsently expected that it could be con-
cIuded by the 18th OF January, 1863, the
day fixed for the drawing; but several
causes, none of which were anticipated,
and which could not be controlled by the
commissioners nor by the owner II the
property, combined to prevent it. Among
these We may mention the failure TO OBJ
tain printed matter at the time contracted
for, b extreme strigency of the money
market, and the distluSt in the minds Of
the people OF enterprises k this, induced
by causes winch are yet fresh in the recol-
lection of the public.
Though tickets are now being rapidly
sold, a sufficient number have not been
disposed OF to Justify n ransfer of the
property without bringing loss upon the
owner.
terprise, nearly eight hundred acres of
which are cleared and tillable, viii be
rented cut for the present year-lS59. Good
bonds for the rent VIII be taken, and these
bonds will be assigned to The persons who
draw the said farms.
The money for the tickets sold is in the
hands OF the agents, and oul any share
holder be dissatisfied with the postpone
ment, his money will be on the
presentation OF his ticket.
The undersigned think it will not be
aniSS to say, in this connection, that hey
have no pecuniary interest IN the above
enterprise, nor Will they have in the III
ture. They Will not receive one cent Ior
their services, and they do not now, ana
will not at any time, own, hold, or control
q single ticket in the enterprise; nor one
dollar received from the sale of tickets Will
be used by them, nor can the owner OF tue
property touch, use, or control n part OF
1t until after drawing takes place: and
should the enterprise, by any unforeseen
contingency, prove a failure, all money
received from the sale of tickets will be
promptly returned on presentation of the
tickets to the agent from whom bought.

The consideration Of the Constitu-
tional Amendment was fixed for
Thursday afternoon last, at o'clock.
The Democratic members resigned
Thursday morning. The General APP
propriation Bill had passed the
House, and was so far advanced IN
the Senate thar it could have been re-
ported and made a law on Thursday
morning, had the Democrats retained
their seats until the Constitutional
Amendment was forced upon them by
the Republicans. Hence their resig
nations we're more to defeat the
necessary legislation thanto defeattht
amendment. They manifested great.
er spite against their constituent
than towards the negro.

POLITICAL No1Es ANA OBSERVATIONS.

The Chicago Republican suggests that the repub-
lcan leaders In New York should take advantage of
the present differences among the democratic lead
ers here and heal their own. Very good. But what
republican physician possesses knowledge OF that
healing art9 IAN ounce Of civet, good 'pothe-
cary.n
The Chicago Republican says the Quincy Gll.)
Journal doesn't appear to understand the situation
in Chicago politics very thoroughly, and adds
1--WE are only guarding against the possibility Of o
Tammany Regency, more corrupt In its practices and
despotic In Its tyranny than the one in New York
being fastened upon the party here In Chicago. We
must strange it now or never.n That's right.
Whenever there is danger OF Chicago being behind
hand In any species OF corruption ''strange 1t" by
all means SO far as the matter OF corruption goes
the political rings in Chicago can give New York
good lead and beat them in the race all hollow.
The Chicago Thnes-dem6cratic- regards as "a
great democratic victOry the fact that the agitation
Of currency redemption has compelled republican
newspapers and politicians to present '.pans for
changing the form OF the national Indebtedness into
one bearing less rate Of interest," and many of these
plans involve the payment Of the dve-twenty bonds
In Treasury notes." That's good deal short Of the
PendletOn doctrine Of repndiation which the Ohio
democracy ore coming out nat-footed in support Of.

grand jurors he said that since the amend.
ment was passed last winter permitting
prisoners n to testify in their own behalf the
that the amendment was q good one, and had the
approval of the bar and the public, but 1t has been
perjury. 1t would be their duty to listen to COM
