Affairs at this establishment are re-
markably dull. Two-thiris Of the Off
GERS and clerks are absent, most OF them
on a pilgrimage to Wheeling. The
remainder Of the Government lie chiefly
occupied in deyising ways and means
to avoid roasting beneath the terribly
hot weather now raging in these parts.

PULASKI, TENNEssEE, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST s. 1870

census of this year is expected to show
that the West has been outgrowing
the East more rapidly for the last ten
years than during any former period.
All this Western Growth viii soon
be represented in Congress. 1t VIII
enable the West to dictate the policy
of the Government upon all subjects
on which the West is united, and can
command a moderate reinforcement
from some other section of the coun-
try.
We conclude therefore that the
legislation of the present Congress is
no index to the future policy of the
Government. The present Congress
is an efEete body, the organ of expir-
ing passions and the representative of
constituencies which are about to be
remodeled in harmony with the al
tered distribution of population. TIE
rcapportionment of Representative
on the basis of the new census will
mark the dividing line between the
effete political era that is going out,
and the new era that is coming in.

Got an Answer.

A correspondent of Boston paper
tells the following story of camp life {:
A whining, peevish man, who was
always trying to get on the sick list,
although apparently as healthy as any
man in the army, went to the chaplain
one day, III his doleful style, and re-
quested that letter be written to his
wife, telling her of his condition.
''Tcll her, chaplain" said the soldier,
that [ am TOO sick to write myself, and
have got yoL to do it for me. Tell
her that should die to-day, I'nl sure
but for the desire have to wait and
see her once more befo G die" The
chaplain wrote as directed, and after
few days he called the would-be sick
soldier to his ten and handed him
this answer 10 his mOurnful letter
"Dear sir-Tell John not to wait for
me, as I have already set up house
keeping with another man."
