In late days we have heard not n
little about heroes and hcro-worship-
pers. For our parts, we have scant
sympathy, either with the idols or
their adcrers, so far as they have dis
played themselves. The theory Of
such men rs Thomas Carlyle and his
followers appears to be, that if q
man is only strong in intellect and
will, and is able to dominate his fell
lows, he is, therefore, great The
C.omwells, the Napoleons. the Fred
erick the Seconds, these are the gods
of such devotees. We are of opinion
that there Is something radically
wrong here. For, if the principle Of
strength and success constitute hero
then Satan himself should receive
the homage of those who so believe.
No; man must have good princi-
Piles, and perform good as we'll as

We submit that the man who, by his
sword, struck the shackles from four
million limbs, and, at the same time,
saved the life of the only free coun-
try on earth, is a true hero. That
man will, on the 4th day of next
month, be the freely-chosen ruler OF
the American people. This is an
honor to them as we'll as an honor to
him.

Especial telegram to the CoURIER.l

We received a special telegram to-
day, from the State Register, inform
ing us that Old Yaller" died very
suddenly night before last, in stable
at Des Moines. He was frst discov-
cred by Gen. futile, yesterday morn
ing, whose particular friend he has
been for the past eight years. In
fact, they were companions during
the war;" Old Yaller having carried
him safely through score of hard
fought battles.
Yaller" was II horse IL years of
age at his death, was a yallcr horse
in every respect, and about 49, hands
high, with powerful and muscular
frame, aud enlisted in the army with
Wal" and aid served 1altKidny unfit Its
close. He was wounded four times,
and his horse flesh suffered severely
on account of manga long and weary
march, through all OF which he came
out victorious, carrying the gallant
General with him.
The Register says he was broken
down on a forced march between the
two armies, but that is mistake
His wind was first roken when the
General returned to Iowa to run for
Governor on the Coppcrhead ticket,
and since carrying him through that
desperate raid he has not been chin
self again"
He was indeed noble animal, and
had a wider reputation in the army
than any other horse in it. At the
close of the war the General brought
him home, and has since taken the
best of care OF this faithful animal,
and at his death gave him respec,a-
BILE horse burial.
