THE removal of Colonel Bowman from
the Superintendency of West Point, because
he invited General Mcclellan to deliver the
address upon the laying of corner stone
for monument to West Point soldiers fair
ly illustrates the spirit and capacity of the
man who could indulge in such an exhibit
ton of spitefulness. His little soul was
stung by the recognition of the skill and
services of Mcclellan, and he had not enough
of dignity and decency to conceal his NOR
tification. No one supposed he would have,

You cannot be more sensible than | am
that the part which have to perform here
to- day is merely matter of form, and act
ing upon the principles of my own life,

certain considerations led me to change
my mind. There is class of men in the


country far too small for the good Of the
country. These are the men who-mere-
ly by their example, by their pen, by their
voice-try TO do good, and all the more
in perilous times, without regard to the
good that may come. It is given to many
such men to understand, by the distinc-


tion conferred upon me, one of the hum


blest of their class, that there are men


whom the country will cherish, and who
will not be forgotten. Here is another


motive relative to yourselves and the


country at large. It is good for you, it is


good for every nation and every people,


every State and every party, to cherish


all general impulses, to follow all noble

The sharp, cold and continuous east winds

very scrviceable to the late districts in Scot

many farmers in the midland and southern

Is fair prospect Of getting on with the au-
tumnal sowings. As to markets, the late
downward tendency seems to be stopped,
though the few places that have noted an
advance, will but little affect the averages.
Indeed, with an almost regular decline since

fled by superabundant CROP it seems quite
time for turn and as our rates are now
so low that q sacrifice of 3s to Is. per or.

that the minimum quotations have been
reached; So soon as the momentary press

reaction, though a smart advance on the
back ofa moderate harvest and fair imports
Is scarcely to be looked for before Christmas.
While the doubt about our own crop sim

Poland, the ancient granary of Europe, con-
tinues very unsatisfactory, many of the new
samples being below millers' use. This cir

to keep up the prices of the best qualities
at a range that would entail certain loss by
