What was the Navy Department doing when
oil these preparations of the enemy were going
forward! What did it do in the way OF IRON
clad gunboatss And what has it done since the
late catastrophe at the mouth of the James
river? The Monitor, built by the enterprise of
"a private citizen, can, like the Merrimac, de-
stroy mere wooden vessels; but it is by no
means certain that she can do any material in
jury to the rebel steamer, which, even in that
case, is not compelled to give the Monitor bat
tie, but may, from her superior speed, sail
away from the Union gunboat. If nothing bet
ter can be done, would it not be advisable to
shut the Merrimac up in Norfolk by sinking
some stone-laden hulks in Elizabeth river?

SAD DEATH.-Upon Saturday afternoon, the
Coroner held m inquest upon the body of q
little boy seven or eight years Of age, son Of
Major stolbrand Of the I'd Illinois Artillery,
whose residence is On Mohawk street, be-
tween Clybourne avenue aud Blackhawk
street. The little fellow was found dead upon
the track Of the Rock Island R abroad, at the
Michigan Southern junction, SIX miles from
the city. There we're no marks Of injury upon
the body save few slight bruises upon the
hesd, but the TACT that the child was tying
upon his face with sand bedded into his uoae
and ears, induced the belief In the minds of
the jury Of inquest that in some manner he
had fallen from train and, stunned by the
blow, lay with his face In the sand until he WAS
eutfocated. The last known Of him he left
bis home with little German lad who lost
him at the Post Office, but how he came at
the junction is a m ystery not Jet explained.

him up to the grave.


The eyes were moro sunken, but the
heavy shadows beneath the brows were al
ways there in life. Even in death, and for
decade the captive of a grave, that kingly
presence inspired the same deep reverence
and speechless awe as when in the living
temple of his matchless mind.

The velvet pail with its rich embroidery
was in perfect preservation, though deprived

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTs.-In cOnse-
quence of the careless and slOVeHly manner
in which the business of Legislation has
been conducted in this State, it is doubtful
whether the proposed amendments to the
Constitution, even if adopted by the popu-
lar vote, will become part of our organic
law. The Constitution declares that the
amendments proposed by one Legislature
shall be published for three months previ-
Gus to the election for members of tue next
Legislature; but there are discre epancies in
the published copies which may require the
work to be done over again. The case is
stated by the Alta as follows:


There is question, however, whether the
amendments adopted in 1862 are the same with
those proposed at the previous session. When
the last Legislature came to examine the
amendments of the previous year, it was found
that no two of them agreed. There was the
enrolled copy; the copy in each of the journals;
the copy printed in the statutes, and the copy
advertised in the newspapers and no two of
them were alike. 1t became serious question
which was the authoritative copy. The
Judiciary Committee of both houses went to
Sacramento for the special purpose of examin-
ing the records there, and after a long and care
full consideration they came to the conclusion
that the enrolled copy should be considered the
guide. Accordingly they and both houses of
the Legislature adopted that and departed
from the copies printed in the statutes and
newspapers.

is but one State officer to be elected this

Importance, it has been suggested that the

Convention. So far as we can judge this
course would be satisfactory to the Union
Democracy of Nevada county; but if there
is any serious objection we hope 1t will be
made known. The State Committee of
course will act in the matter in accordance
with what they believe to be the wishes of
the party; and as nothing has occurred TO
render it necessary to either modify or
make additions to the party platform it
seems to us that it would be better to dis
pense with Convention this year.
