A Northern Tribute to
General Robert E. Lee.

The Cincinnati Enquirer pays
the following handsome tribute
to Gen. Lee:
The world knows of his vir-
tues and private worth, and the
men who have commanded ar
mics can bear witness to his
valor and skill as man of arms.
He was the great general of the
rebellion, and compared with
him the bloody Corporal who
sits in the White House to-day
sinks in the scale as would a
John Balfour of Burley, if
weighed with Miltiades. 1t
was his strategy and superior
military knowledge which kept
1.-THE banner of the South afoat
so long, and the campaign of
the Wilderness, the defence uf
Richmond, and the bold advan-
ces into Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania, which only failed because
of insufficient numbers, estab-
lished him long before the close
of the war as one whom the
powerful press of England
might well proclaim ''The Great
Captain of the age" There is
no man SO bigoted to-day as not
to believe that if Grant had
commanded the i'll provided,
half-fed army which stood like
, wall Of fire around Richmond.
: and the command of that grand
army which went down into
the Wilderness could have been
given Lee, the flag of the Union
would have floated over the
? Confederate Capital long before
! it did.

NR One of the colored cod

N% One Of the colored cadets
of West Point is a youth of the
remarkably novel name of Smith,
and Smith being a large. robust
individual, had the courage one
day last August to cut open the
head Of q small, white youth,
named Wilson, with a drinking
dipper, in a moment of passion.
Smith is a morose, violent, insub-
ordinate person; but being one OF
the cclored pets of the government,
he is not likely to be dealt with
in a severe manner. His trial is
coming off just now. Wilson, be-
ing a white boy, may expect the
severest sentence of the military
law for falling down when the
coioree cadet struck him, and for
bleeding SO profusely and so dan
gerously from the temple when
colo,ed brother simply wanted to
amuse himself with Two cocoanuts
by smashing a dipper of that ma
terial on bis scull. 1t is horrible
10 reflect that a colored cadet can
not be INDUCED in his little jokes,
even at West Point! Let cadet
Wilson be sent TO the penitentiary
for not submitting to wholesome
discipline, and let colOred cadet
Smith be nominated for the Vice
Presidency, as a reward for his
valor in vanquishing so summari-
~ boy half the size OF himself!

The Late Elections.

To sum up the facts concisely,
the recent State elections have re-
suited as follows in Pennsylyan.
ia the Radicals have lost six con-
gressmen; in Ohio they lose two
and gain two; in Indiana they
lose two; in Nebraska and Iowa
they hold their own; in West
Virginia they lose two. AS usual,
however, the Radical majority in
Congress may be expected to GUST
all successful Democrats on some
pretsnce or other, and give their
seats to their Radical contestants.
The Democratic gains in Congress
amour: to nothing, therefore, in a
practical sense. The Radicals have
again succeeded in winning the
control of both Houses Of legisla-
ton in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
Nebraska. In Indiana and West
Virginia, the Democrats have
gained the Legislature. What
will be done in New York, Ter
nessee, and other States where
elections are yet to be held, re-
mains to be seen. A little more
federal interference with the State
elections, will probably destroy ev-
cry chance Of victory that the
Radicals may have in those local
tiles, for the next half century.
General Grant is, we are pleased
TO say, one OF the stupidest kind
of politicians, and continues to
rally around him none but politi-
clans as stolid as himself.

GEORGE P. RowEL & Co. of New

purchased the agency of John

equally well known and reliable

will have by far the largest and
most fourishing advertising estab-

How TIE PRUsSIAN COMMU-
NICATIoNs ARE MAINTAINED.
special correspondent of
the London Times, at the Crown
Princes headquarters, writes
Sept. 1G: "a thing which caus-
es astonishment to me is the
perfect impunity with which
the Prussian communications
have been preserved. Their
military administration is most
vigorous, and its apparent Sc
verify prevents bloodshed, and
secures their long line against
attack. 1t is death to have
arms concealed Oh retained III
any house. 1t is death to cut
telegraph wire or to destroy
anything used for the service of
thearmy. What can a disarmed
population, however hostile and
venturesome, attempt against
even small bodies of men who
always move with caution, and
against troops who do not make
night marches unless in large
bodies? The Prussian. cavalry
are everywhere. There is no
neglect, no i1SOuciance; nothing
is taken on trust. Enter small
village in the center of a dis
trict which is full of troops on
all sides, and YOU see two SEN
tries posted on the road, and
two sentries further on at the
exit and on every road and
lane, out or in, the same precau-
tons are observed. The peO-
pie in the towns and villages
are aghast. Everywhere Prus-
slams.

The Dead Alive.
The Council Bluff Monpareil 3

ne NOuncIl DtulS hOUpuJctt VI
the 9th tells the following:
ga young lady, twenty years
of age, Margaret Anderson by
name, came to this city about a
year ago ; she came with a COM
pany OF relatives and friends from
Denmark, and lived here till a.
bout the LIST of July last. The
male members of the family found
employment on the line of the
Union Pacific Railroad, and found
it convenient to remove their
domicil nearer the place of their
work; consequently, a part of the
family moved out to Big Springs
Station, on the Pacific Road, and
among those who went was Mar
garet. Here every thing went
pleasantly till about the LIST Of
September, when Margaret was
taken sick, and, after q severe ILL
ness of about two weeks, she babe
her friends good by, and her spirit
took Its fight. The same day
that she died the friends at Big
Springs wrote the relations in this
city, giving particulars of her
sickness and death. On the Sec
ond day after she had apparently
breathed her last, a rude coffin
was provided, and the friends con.
cluded that the remains should be
temporarily inferred upon the
prairie until such time as would
be more convenient to take them
to a permanent resting place
just as the coffin had been lowered
to its place, and few shovelsful
of earth had been thrown into the
grave, an approaching train called
the burial party to duty at the
station. After an absence of an
hour, the men returned to the
grave, and as they were about to
resume work with their shovels,
they heard a noisein the partially
buried coffin, giving evidence of
kicking and pounding, and other
conduct very unbecoming q well
bred corpse and, as may be sup
posed, after recovering from their
fright, the men lost no time in un.
covering and opening the coffin, to
see what had disturbed the dead
woman's rest. The remainder of
the story may be better imagined
than described. Suffice it to say
that Margaret's friends and rela-
tives in this city, who had mourned
her as dead, have just received a
letter written by her own hand,
very emphatically denying that
she had dispensed with her mortal
coil, and saying that she would be
here in the course Of u few days"

ton a gunboat at the foot of every
street in New York city to en-
force the congressional election
law there. The radicals have
become SO desperate Of late, feeling
that they are in fair way of
losing what patronage they have,
that they propose to carry elections
their way, even if it takes gun
boats to do it. What a party of
freedom the radical party is to be
