Our dispatches bring the painful
announcement Of the death Of Gen
John A. Rawlins, Secretary Of War
of the United States His lite
strikingly eXemplifed that encour-
agemcnt which our free institutions
give to genius in the humblcst con
dition of life. lie was born in Joe
Davioss county Illinois, February
10, 1881. Until the age Of twenty
three he worked as ordinary farm
hand and as a charcoal burner, eX-
cept during the winter, when be at
tended common schools and coun-
try academies. In November, 1854,
he began the study Of law at Gale.
ma, a year later was admitted to
practice, and for the nextfye years
was an industrious lawyer and ao-
tive Democratic politician. He
soon became acquainted with the
present occupant of the White
House, then q leather dealer at Ga
lena, and their acquaintance ripencd
into friendship. Though Mr.. Raw,
Inns labored hard for the success of
the Douglas ticket in 1860, the out,
break of the war found him Il
strong supporter Of the adwinistra-
ton in its efforts to suppress rebel
lion, and in September, 1861, he
began raising a regiment for the
field, The organization of his
force had not been completed, when
he received and accepted n position
on Gen Grants staff as Assistant
Adiutant General, with the rank of
Captain, From September, 1861,
to the surrender Of Lees army, in
April, 1865, he was constantly with
his commander except during three
months of 1864, when he was COM
PEELED by Illness to take a furlough
His relations with Gen, Grant were
OF the most intimate and harmoni
GUS character He was commis-
stoned Major and Assistant Adju-
tant General, to rank from the date

That was telling point made
by Senator Morton in the opening
paragraph of his speech at Will
mington. OF the two parties now
appealing for popular support, one
proudly points to its record; the
other implores that the past should
be forgotten, One expects conf
dence to be placed in its promises
for the future, because of its con
duct in days gone by; the other
asks to be trusted OH its simple
professions, regardless of the les
sons of experience. Democracy
retains its characteristics and in
instincts, yet asks that the fruits Of
its faith during great national cri-
sis shall be kept out of sight. Or,
as Governor Morton says with epi-
grammatic terseness: at does not
invoke the pleasures Of memory,
but invites the blessings Of obliv-
ion.- ChHiicothe Ga&ette.

- The record Of Mr.. Pendleton
furnishes the brilliant New York
World a club with which to brain
him. Thus, when Pendleton was a
Presidential Candidate the World
was enabled to prove from his pub
lished speeches that the Honorable
George was in favor of unlimited
greenbacks, taxation and repudia-
ton Of bonds, &c. OF course the
business men of the country--the
Seymours, Belmonts, Sweeneys,
Murphys, and others--could not
stand that, and Pendleton failed to
receive even a majority in the New
York Convention. Now Pendle-
ton is nominated by the Democra-
cy of this State, on a greenback
platform, and the World proves
from his record that he once held
the whole greenback issue to be
unconstitutional. Where is Mr.,

DREADFUL ACCIDENT by A THREsH-

caught in the wheels and his arm
was drawn in and by degrees hor-

chloroform, was performed by Drs.

A Confidence Game.

The Democratic ring, composed
Of perhaps half dozen hungry Of
flee seekers in this town, have die
tated to the rest Of the party in the
county that they wi have no nom
inations for county offices, bnt that
this man and that man will he the
candidate Of the party under the
swindlng guisc of Independent can
didatcS-a kind Of confidence game
to be played Off upon honest un-
suspecting voters. What's the mat.
ter? Has Democracy, as practised
heretofore by the party in this coun-
ty, become odious to the rank and
file?
The editor Of the Register says
he is willing to drop party lines and
20 for honest, capable, economical
men for county officers, That, to
say the least of it, if he is'sincere
and honest in making this declara-
ton, (Which admits Of doubt is a
severe reflection upon the character
of the Democracy. We tell you it
must be a desperate state of things
when Gould has to walk out of the
lines Of the party to find honest,
capaWe men to fiji the county Off
oes. Now is it not apparent to ev-
cry sagacious man that Gould wants
10 defeat the Republican candidates
selected by the people at their pri-
mary elections, uninAuenced by any
clique or self-constituted central |
lictators, more than lie wants h0a-
,St, competent men elected2
But this attempt to play conf
lence game upon the people Of
1ayette county by the Democratic
Ring will not win. 'The people
IRE too intelligent and shrewd to
lllow the wool to be pulled over
heir eyes by the tricksters of the
ing. Gentlemen, "you can't come

Letter from washington City.


WAsuINGroN CITY, u, c., Aug "a, 1859,
Editors Fqyette County Herald
Too much q edit cannot be given
our eX- NJ. c., the Hon. Reader w.
Clarke, for the management Of the
Office Of Third Auditor ofthe Treas,
urv Mr.. Clarke has done more
toward retgencbment in his Bureau
than any other like officer of the
Government; and has not only
done this, but he has almost entire
ly removed the so called johnson
men, and the rebel element Nor
has he stopped at this In their
places you will find manned and
crippled soldiers, thereby showing
the soldier who is his friend. 1t is
true there are civilians yet holding
office under the Government. This
cannot be helped; but if every ofll'
Ger who has it in his power were to
remove unworthy men, and place in
their stead worthy SCARED and
limblcss" soldiers, how many more
of our brave defenders would re-
ceive their just deserts
We were promised if we would
go to the wars, that when we re-
turned qcc should hold the offices.
Now we will admit that some of us
do; but the majority of us are only |
iirst-class clerks, and are under
those who never saw the front (On-
ly Of the TreaSury), and have been
here in the Departments, until many
Of them think they could not live
outside of n Government Office
And it is true that a few Of them
could not, because they have been
led on the "fat Of the land" until
hey know nothing else. But they
IRE, most Of them, young enough
ret to learn other business. Let
he "Grand Army" or the soldiers
who did the fighting, and who do
jhe greater part toward electing our
Members of Congress, take it in
land to have those who have been
lere for years removed, and let
hose who fought on the battle field
Try its spo1ts for at least-as long
l time as he served his country.
Now, in connection with this, l
think that Mr.. Clarke deserves the
highest regards of the soldier, and
jhe tax paying public of the Sixth
District. There are
many who applied to Mr.. Clarke
who failed to secure a place under
lin. But to those let me say, it
vas impossible for Mr., Clarke or
my other officer Of the Government
o supply all with places. If the
'fflcers Of other Bureaus would do
alf as well as Mr.. Clarke, the sol
ler would represent the major part
f the clerkships (and justly, ,,
oo,) in the Departments here
The office of Commissioner of !
PATENTS is said by all to be a rebel
lole. Our acquaintance with Mr..
Fisher, and knowledge of him,
prompts us to say that as soon as
le finds out the right and wrong
mes, he will make the proper
.hanges.
The President is expected here
IN Friday next, when there will be !
Cabinet Meeting
Yours, EXPRESSION" ."

- The Lebanon Star explains
how 1t happened that the Demo
cratic retrenchment legislature
managed to pay Flood and lay
man, clerks of the Senate and
House, three times as many DAYS
as there were days in the year 1t
was thus: Eight hours make a
days work, and three eights are
twenty-four; and hence, by multi
plying each day by three, they get
the number Of days easily. Don't
you see. The Democrats are the
friends Of the laboring man, you
know, and Flood and Layinan are
great laborcrs--they do lots of dir
ty work for the party.
