HELIGoLAND.
A Description of the Island Coveted
Enrr PrrIe.sa

A Description of the Island Coveted
81. by Prussia.
"A correspondent of the Pail Mall
Gazette writes: 81 see the Heligo-
land question has turned up again,
and few words of description may
not be without interest to yeur
readers, for there is no place like it
on the face of the earth. Iti a tall
red hill, rising straight out of the
waters, with a sand-bank on one
side. On the sand, and part of the
way up the hill, is the town or
rather village. 1t was inhabited in
former times by wreckers, but now
they have degenerated into lodging
house keepers. Heligoland is the
Margate Of Hamburg. Thither
stream the citizens of that rich city
to gamble at rouge et-noir Cat least
they did when was there) and to
enjoy sea bathing. There is a regu-
lar season in the summer months
and sometimes many passengers
brought in the steamer are obliged
to sleep on board, and to go back
again, the island being full. Every
house probably takes in dodgers; but
then there are not very many hous-
es. The bathers resort to a neigh
boring sand7bank, a sister island,
which the Governor, it will be re
membered, some time ago stocked
with rBbbits, which began eatirg up
the grass that held the sand bank
together, so that the. Heligolanders
became furious, and talked of shak-
ing of the English yoke. However
the rabbits were all shot, and the Is
landers were paciied, and nothing
more was said Of their old Frisian
Constitution. Their language is
German, but they detest that nation
more even than they do ourselves.
They are not English, though they
are English subjects; they are not
German though they speak German.
They are not Heligolanders, the no
blest Of created beings; all foreigners
are slit, which, in their homely dia-
lect means dirt. The top Of the
island hill is fiat, and, as well as 1
can remember, about the size of the
Green Park. There is well known
story of man from the far west
and therefore accustomed to see
land only on large scale-who paid
visit to England. When asked
how he enjoyed himself, he replied
very much, only he never went out
at night for fear of falling off. In
Heligoland there is really a danger
of such au accident happening to
any one who, from the force of habit
should continue to walk too long in
any one direction"

The East Room.

Every one has heard of the East
Room in the White House at Wash
ington, and all will be interested in
following reference to incidents con-
nected with its history, from the pen
of the Washington corresondent OF
the Cincinnati Gazette:
The East Room during the war
was the theater of many sad scenes.
None was more touching than that
of Abraham Lincoln bending in tears
over the face of his dead young
friend, Col. Ellsworth. Not in all
the volume and glory of the war was
the ecIdt of the Ellsworth zouaves
and the sensation of their chef
tain's tragic death eclipsed. I
remember as if yesterday the
bright spring morning when the news
flew to us here of his assassination at
the hands Of a rebel in Alexandra.
The impulsive young officer was shot
while in the act of hauling down a
rebel flag. The body was brought
to the White House, Lincoln loved
him as a father loves a son. The
first cruel heart wringing of the war
that / saw was when our martyr
President came into the east room to
take that last sad look at the brave
dead soldiers face. The yellow
light of the morning sun struggled
into the spacious apartment between
folds of tapestry. Festoons of cy-
press gracefully dropped from the
window castings. Fragrant flowers
were profusely strewn about the cats
talque. There was no ostentation.
The deep grief of Lincoln moved ali
to tears. He was the central figure
Of dozen friends grouped around
the coffin. A tender, sorrowful look
a few convulsive sobs, and weeping
he turned and silently witbdrew
-Four years later, a victim of the same !
diabolism, Lincoln sleeps upon a |
more stately catafalque, erected in
the center Of the east room. Mean
timeit had been the scene of manvi
brilliant historic assemblages, through
it had pOuredsthrongs ofpeople; and
IN It's crimson sofas had fingered re.
1resentatives Of the wealth, culture

Jacob Mueller, the Republican Can
didate for Lieutenant Governor.


didate for Lieutenant Governor.
The Cleveland Herald contains the following
notice Of Jacob Mueller
"Mr Jacob Mueller is a native of Rhenish
Bavaria, and when young man took an ener-
getic part in the revolutionary movement Of
lS4S. Bnder the Republican Government
that for short time existed in the German
States, he held the position of Civil Commits
sarv, or local governor of the district in which
was his home. When the reaction came, and
the revolUtionists were compelled to fly, he
took refuge in the United Suites, coming di-
rect to Cleveland, where a brother was resi-
ding Like most of the refugees at that time,
he struggled for living until his abilities and
perseverance gave him q good foothold. Pos
ssssing the esteem and confidence Of his fellow
eountrymen, and winning the respect Of his
fellow citizens generally, he was chosen to re-
present the Sixth Ward In the City Council,
being the first Republican Councilman from
that Ward, which is now so overwhelming Re
publican. He was for a time Secretary of the
German Insurance Company of Cleveland and
In that position became widely known through
out the State. He resigned that position to
devote greater attention to the practice Of law.
Two years ago he returned to Germany on q
visit, and duriug his stay in Europe wrote q
series of letters to the "Wachter am Erie,
which attracted widespread attention by their
ability, keen observation and depth of thonght.
Those written during the Franco-German war
were especially happy IN matter and manner,
and were copied by the German press all over
the country.
The nomination was wholly unexpected and
uDsought by Mr. Mueller. When the matter
was suggested to him before the Convention
he treated it as something wholly out Of the
question, having neither hope nor desire for it.
Il was only by urgent appeas that he consented
to the use Of his name. The enthusiasm with
which the suggestion Of his name was received
and the manner in which he was nominated,
must be gratifying to Mr.. Mueller, and give
assurance of success at the polls.

The Methodist Trouble Once More

| The Methodist Book Concern troubles bav,
advanced another stage, and seem to claim
the future for their own. From our New
York dispatches one might think that the
Methodist denomination would have no time
for the next two years for anything but the
scandalous embrogliOs which has brought SC
great discredit on that church and on our
common christianity. The new phase of mat
ters to which we allude IS the resignation Of
DIR, Carleton; which was declined by the Com
mittee with expressions Of confidence in his
ability, integrity and faithfulness as chief a.
gent OF the Book Concern. The resignation
of DIR. Carlton was q most natural step for the
accused Secretary to take; and the refusal OF
the Committee to accept 1t while DIR. Carlton
lies under so grave charges OF mal-administra-
ton in office, would have been most fit and
commendable, had his resignation been reject
ed in order that he might be held amenable to
such investigation of his management of the
Book Concern as the Committee ought to Or
der. But the Committees commendation of
DIR. Carleton as a brother trusted and beloved
will. under the circumstances, be liable to the
reproach Of ''whitewashing" cast upon its first
report in place of an investigation, made by the
Concern when the charge Of DR.. Lanahan were
first presented.
The whole affair, however Is to go to the
next General Conference 10 convene in Nav.
ISL The whole Church Will thus be made
a marty to the controversy, and in the elections
in the local Conferences of delegates to the
General Conference will turn upon the excit-
inc issue Of the Book Concern troubles It is
ve7.v siIly and cruel for the Book Committee
to fburst this controversy upon the Church
and General Conference. An honest, thorough
conoiuslve investigation of the affairs of the
Concern might have been made at any tirae
within the year or so during which these trou-
the general Conference, will undoubtedly or
der such an investigation to be made. Has
not the Committee sense or honesty enough to
this effect, and dispose of this business bv

On the hills beyond hes Kansas City with a
beautiful, fresh, green country IN the rear.
To the left IS the Missouri river, which mean
ders on and on until it resembles a silver
thread IN the distance until lost fronl view.
On either side the river is lined with dense
forests, whose beautiful green foliage gives it
the appearance Of a huge carpet, extending
from the banks OF the rivers to the tops Of the
hills. To the right the Kansas winds its way
and along its banks for some distance is laid
the iron pathway of the Kansas Pacific Rail-
way.
The bluff from whence this view can be OBJ
tanned rises, perhaps, two hundred and fifty
feet from the river, and extends along for sew
erol miles. Here streets are being laid out
ravines filled up, and lots staked off for build
ing purposes. The air is delightful even in
the hottest weather. The city contains be-
tween four and five thousand inhabitants.
Some of the residences are very handsome, be-
ing surrounded with fine grounds, laid out
with walks, shrubs, flower gardens, &c.
It is certainly desirable spot to live in, the
people are intelligent and hospitable; they have
several churches and good schools The Kant
sas State Asylum for the Blind which is a
fine building and excellent institution, is also
located here.
At present, Kansas city and Wyandotte are
connected by means Of stages, which run sew
eral times a day, and the trains of the NO.,
Pacific and Kansas Pacific railroads. There is
toll bridge across the Kansas river, but the
intention is soon to build free bridge; bonds
are already voted for that purpose; both cities
viii unite IN paying the cost of construction.
The bridge is 70 be of iron and will cost not
less than fifty or sixty thousand dollars.
After this viii come the lines Of street rail-
way. The Kansas Pacific railway, has some
of its shops located here, but their main shops
and buildings are at Armstor, just below Wy
endotte on the Kansas river. A line of street

Cen. Moves in the March to the Sc

Gen. Noyes in the March to the Sea
Gen. Noyes, who was nominated
for Governor, by the Ohio Republi-
can Convention, on Wednesday re.
ceived the wound by which he lost
his leg in the pursuit of Johnston's
army by Sherman to Atlanta. A
correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, who was with that part of the
army in which was Gen. Noyes' di-
vision, thus relates the affair in a
letter dated "Near Chattahoochee
river, July 6, 1864" and published in
the Gazette, Of July 8:
There were many brilliant char
ges made by our troops in the pur-
suit of the enemy from Marietta to
KenesaW well worthy of more ex-
tended description than they are
likely to receive. One of these fell
beneath my own noticeaand was
one Of the best executed movements
ofthe day.
General Dodge, by the afternoon
Of the 4th, had passed in some two
miles directly upon the enemv's
flank, when he suddenly found him
self in front of formidable line of
works extending away for a long
distance upon the right and left,
If this was the main line of the en-
emy, it was folly to attempt to carry
it, and sixregiments-the 9th, 39t6,
and 43d Ohio, of Veatch's division
and the 31st Ohio, Goth Illinois and
ID Iowa, of Sweency's division
were ordered to charge the works
and if opportunity afforded, carry
them. Every one expected to see
the enemy's main line Of battle show
itself behind the works, as Hoods
entire corps was known to be near;
but they were, fortunately, occupied
but by a single bridge, amply suffi-
cent to have held them had thev
made such a defense as could have
been made.
Our boys swept forward in single
line with a terrific yell, and forced
their way over the rebel breastworks
SO suddenly as capture a large num-
Der of their defenders. The matter
was so quickly ended that one look
ing on could scarcely comprehend
the affair was commenced before it
was ended, and yet not until sever
al angry volleys had been received
by the gallant line pressing SO swift
ly forward and many Of the brave |
men brought down.
Among the wounded was Col. f
F. Noyes of the 39th Ohio, who had |
of the charging column |
from Oeatch's front. A brave, truer
officer than Col. Noyes, or a more
accomplished gentleman, does not
belong te the army, and his loos to
@ the service will be very keenly
eli, especially in his own division.
He was Wonded in the leg just, as
le reached the rebel works and so
everely as to necessitate its ampu-
alton between the knee and ankle.
