Colonel I'll. s. McCombs

We copy the following from racy letter
to the Chicago Tribune:
Harry McComb, as he is generally called,
is probably the most energetic man in Della
ware. He is popular bold and enterpris-
ing man, of the best social character and of
reputed fidelity, which has never been dis
trusted at home, To look upon, he is large
and robust, and yet refined in dress ald
carriage, and he has a face beaMing with
cordiality to his friends, but strong and i'm
pressive in business. He was o poor boy in
Wilmington, when merchant of that city
took fancy to him, and started him in a
small shop. He became in time leathe
dresser, and is now the proprietor of one
the largest tanning establishments in the
Middle States, beginning where Grant left
off. When the war began McComb was
already prosperous, and impatient of the
narrow field which tbird-rate city afforded.
He had been Republican from the founda-
tl0n of the party, and, as soon as the war
began, was given certain kinds of contracts
growing naturally out Of his business. He
astonished the Washington authorities by
the promptness and yigOr with which he
fulfilled his obligations, and, when Mr..
Seward was once approached by a rival
contractor, who said:
Nobody can get anything here but Har-
ry McComb," +" Seward replied:
"The reason of that is, that Colonel Nc
Comb is the promptest man we have about
this department We can always rely upon
him doing the most in the shortest space of
time"
McComb has been known to get CON
tract in the morning at Washington city,
and to pass the goods he had ordered by
telegraph, that evening, on their way to
Washington, while he was returning to
Wilmington. At the close of the war Nc
Comb went into a variety of operations,
and he is now the president of the Southern
Railroad Association, and lessee Of the
Mississippi Central railroad, between New
Orleans and jackson, Tennessee. He is a
member of the Presby terian Church.

His Speeches at Newport. Louisville and

CINCINNATI, September 21.-When Gree

he spoke as follows;
Citizens of Newport-There was time,
and that not many years ago, when |

of Kentucky, as am to-day. There was a
time when Kentuckians did nat think of me
as they do now, and believe it was because
they did not understand me SO well as they
now do, for in old times was the humble
though Jealous friend of Kentucky's noblest
statesman, Henry Clay. L loved and
trusted, and followed that man for many
years, and sore was my heart when the
news came that our fondest antieipat1ons
were blighted, and he was not chosen Presi-
dent But what matters its The fame OF
Clay was world wide, He is revered and
loved BY millions of his countrynen,
and will be for generations to come.
What matters it whether he filed
one office or another, or no Office? The
Office does not make the man. 1t is men
like these that dignity and glorify office.
He concluded; Many times was told, if

On the twentieth Of September, 1863, the
first number of the New Orleans Times was
issued. Last Friday the same journal en-.
tered upon its tenth golume, fact which
has not yet been mentioned in these col
umns. Until Mr.. W. H. c. King was placed
at The head Of the Times it was noted for
its superiority as a newspaper but Mr.
King was a greater enthusiast as cleaner
of all the news than the preceding manage
ment, and he prided himself on beating his
contemporaries, no matter at what expense
of money. We do not accord to the Times
any peculiar facilities in obtaining informa-
ton that is interesting to the public, but it
must be confessed that its reportorial corps
is at the present time handled with such ex-
ce]lent tact that everything of Importance
here is mirrored in it's columns. The policy
adopted by Mr.. King, and pursued with
signal success, of paying Gberally for
special information, either of local or gen
eral interest, is continued by the present
management, and the result is that other
journals are eclipsed from time to time, and
go to press without the important news
that may be found in the columns of the
Times. That journal, whatever may be
said Of its political course, must be regarded
as the leading newspaper of the South, a
fact which attracts to it readers, and these
readers attract advertising customers.

Burning OF the 4teamer g. .. Merrill.

AuShin& SE Shc steamer Se y. -NerrIIf0
The ST. Louis Democrat contains this re-.
port:
A dispatch received from A1exandria in
forms us that the fine steamer S. 5. Merrill
was burned at the Warsaw landing, four
miles this side OF keokuk. The boat was
owned by the White Collar Ijue, was side
wheeler, and was bujlt at Cincinnati in
April, 1871. Her exact dimensions and ca
pacity could not be ascertained, but she
was probably the largest, finest and fastest
boat in the up river trade. She was regis
tered for 600 or 700 tons, but could carry 1000.
She left st. Louis for KeolIuk last Monday
evening with a fair trip OF freight and pas
sengers and reached her9estinati0n Tuesday
night. Leaving keokuk Wednesday on
her return, she arrived at Warsaw, where
she made landing, and about 1000 sacks
OF grain were taken on board. While still
at the wharf she took fire III some mysterious
manner, and in very short space of time
burned to the waters edge. The crew and
passengers escaped without difficulty, but
saved but little of their baggage and meme
Of their freight, The boat was worth $780,
COO, and was probably entirely uninsured,
as it is not customary with the White Col
lar Line to insure any of its boats. The
cargo, which was principally grain it is
hoped, will not be total loss, and it was
probably insured for nearly the whole value.
While the Merrill was lying at Vicksburg
in March last, heavily loaded with baIed
hay, an effort was made to burn her,
which was very nearly successful. The
carpenter saw an unknown man throw a
lighted match among the bales, which
burst into. flames immediately, and but for
the fact that steam was m and tie beat
supplied with powerful pumps, the fire
could not have been extinguished. As it
was but comparatively small damage was
done. The boat was at the time lying
then that it was the intention of the incen-
diary to fire the boat in order to burn the
elevator. Although the alarm was imme-
diateIy given by the carpenter, the incen-
diary, in the confusion escaped by flight.
