Captain Eads and his associateshave
concluded to give up their plea for
government aid, conditioned upon gov
eminent control, and build their ship
railway across the isthmus with their
own money, in their own way, and
under their own exclusive authority.
This will suit the temper OF the people
much better then granting money from
the national treasury for that purpose.

turn home, was seized with an attack OF
accute rheumatism, similar, only less severe,
to that from which he died. At intervals
since that time he has been an intense suf-

Gen. Logan has been suffering from this
cause until during the campaign Of last
fall After speech to very large assem-
blage at Rock Islaad, in October last,
Gen. Logan took severe cold from which
doubtless his last fatal illness is to be attrib-

energies into his efforts. In the coldes;
weather he was generally bathed in
perspiration at the close OF any
speech of much length. It was always his
custom to retire after speech, take bath,
and entirely change his under clothing.
Ills faithful wife, who has generally accom-
panied him on his ; speaking tours,
has always seen to it that these
sanitary precautions were taken. On
the occasion referred to Mrs Logan did
not accompany her husband. She was de-.
tanned at her home in Chicago The COM

tenth corps, Nov. IA, 1868.
During the latter part Of December and
January Gen. Logan organized an expedition
into Northern Alabama. In the Atlanta cam
paign his corps was part of McPherson's
command. which. as Gen Sherman said, was
the snapper to the whip with which he pro-
posed to punish the enemy. During the
movement Logan was conspicuously at the
front, and the forces under his immediate
command bore an important part in all ac-
lions and naaneuvers that resulted finally In
the taking possession Of Atlanta and the sur
