Gen. George H. Thomas is Dead!

Pap TLoinaa ia dead! Tlic hero «f Mill Springe, Chickamauga and Nashville, ia no more. The telegraph announces the sad tidings that Major General George Henry Thomas was stricken down with apoplexy in San Francisco, and died Sunday evening, March 27th. General Thomas was born in Southampton county, Virginia, July sl, 1816. At the age of 20 he eif* tered the U. S. Military Academy at West Point, front which he graduated June 20, 1840. His first active military service was in 1841, against the Seminole Indians in Florida, as brevet Second Lieutenant in the Third Artillery. When the war with Mexico broke out he was ordered to report with his company to Geueral Taylor, and was rapidly promoted to the rank of brevet Major for distinguished conduct in that brilliant campaign. The breaking out of the rebellion found Major Thomas at Carlie!* Barracks, Pa., in command of the Second Cavalry. From May to July, 1661, he was in command of a brigade under Genera! Patterson, in Northern Virginia, with the commission of Colonel. On the 26th of August he took command of Lamp Dick Robinson, in Kentucky, ranking as Brigadier General. On the £6th of October he routed Zollicoffer at Wild Cat, and soon afterwards was attacked by that gallant rebel General at Mill Spring!. This battle w-aa the first decisive victory of the wur. The rebels fled in disorder and Zollicoffer was killed. Thomas was soon after appointed Major General of Volunteers, and his appointment was con- - firmed April 25th, 1862. From this time to to the close of the war General Thomas' career was prominent and without reverse—Stone River, Chieainauga, Chattanooga, Missionary Ridge, Resacca, Dallas, Kenesaw, Peachtree Creek, Chattahoochee, and Nashville crowning him with fadeless military glory. His name goes down to posterity without blemish. Ilis military lame is not compromised by a single indiscretion nor tarnished by a cruel act. He was a gentleman in deportment and was universally beloved by his soldiery, Loth rank and file. History will accord to him R place in the front rank, among the ip eat minds brought to prominence by tho rebellion. Requiescat in pact.

Sufficient Explanation.

Wo think onr Rensselaer cotemperary is magnifying a mole hill into a mountain. One of the candidates for the office of Circuit Prosecutor, from a county outside of Tippecanoe, was in the city several weeks since, and called theatten tion of the Judicial District to the ii.A ter. That committee, in Jheir t c*U, subsequently issued, specially recommended that candidates before the primary- elections be given their representative strength in the contention according to the vote they received. So far as we know there will be no attempt to enforce a rule which was made more through inadvertance than intention on the part of the County convention. To insist upon a nomination thus made sgaiiift the protest of the other counties of the Circuit, would do an candidate any good;- for the dissatisfaction which it would produce would surely defeat him. We think Tippecanoe County is disposed to set fairly, and that our Jasper County friend will find it so.— La* lay rite Daily Journal. All this County wants is fairness, and as it is conceded by the Journal that the rule adopted by Tippecanoe county will not be enforced in the Judicial Convention, we have only thia to say, it that is the case, a .id it is carried out in good faith, whether the nominee be Test or Vinton for Judge, or Thompson, Justice or Everett, for Circuit Prosecutor, we will support him with all our pjjght, ‘■'fbc Journal does o<>t hold itself re»-' t :i!e lor the oplicqiis of 1 its rof p. fulfilt>."— JnJ.

The Ft Wayne & Pacific Railroad.

Next week the President and General Agent of tho construction company, that proposes to butld tho Ft Wayne & Pacific Railroad, will visit ll«nsselaer for the purpose of closing tho contract for building this road through Indiana, providing they can have sufficient assurance of the required local aid along lh« line. All the citizens along the proposed route in Jasper county fe«! a deep interest in this enterprise, and will utmost to assist the company with money and influence. If the company meet with the proper encouragement from the people, it expects to commence work by the first of June, and push the road to a speedy completion. The enterprise and indomitable energy, as well as the prudence of the officers and friends of of this company entitle them to success. A number of public meetings arc announced in another column, to which everyone is invited. Let all who can make it convenient come and hear what these men have to tell them, and learn what they cau and will do, and the terms upon which they work. We shall have occasion to speak more fully of this matter in our next issue. The Rochester Spy in refusing to publish an article from a Mr. Alf. Howard, in which that gentleman roundly abuses the editor of the Standard, says: Taking advantage as this occasion, we ask, why would it not be better and more dignified for editor* to treat each other courteously!* What good ever came of the coarse slang indulged in by members of the pre»s toward each other!* A triumph gained in such a contest only proves that the victor is a bigger blackguard than the vanquished. Rivals in other professions do not find it necessary to call each other theives and blacklegs, or even mules and dolts. Let the next editorial convention take the subject under consideration, and see if there is not some means of elevating newspaper discussion. ’Ere’s our 'and on that, Bill, and you can present our views to the editorial convention, as we wont be there. No stamps. “A friend suggests that the devil's head-quarters are not a mile from Rensselaer.” —Kentland Qazettt. If this be a fact, and the Newton county criminal docket and the wood and lumber stealing item* of the Gazette's local arc indications, Jasper may expects large immigration from Keutland In the course of time. How does it happen that tho editorials of the Kentland Gazette appear in the Indianapolis Journal first? The Journal should be ashamed to publish original matter from the Gazette without giving it credit. But big fish always thrive on the little ones.

The Michigan City Enterprise in its issue of the 25th heads its leading article with an extract from our editorial columns and credits it to the Monticello Herald. This is unfair, for if there is any merit in the quotation we are entitled to its benefit, and if without merit the Herald should not bear its odium. A New paper has been started at Ncblesville, Hamiltoh county. The paper assures its readers that it does not “propose to work for nothing. M How ridiculous? Just as though that paper woudn’t far® like the rest. Wadsworth of theLaporte Argus, says he would prefer to loan a man $2 rather than to send him his paper without prepayment of ’subr scription, and declines doing either. We cousider the Argue one of the best country papers in the State, John C. Cushman says in the last number of the Plymouth Republican that Fort Wayne has agreed to give SIOO,OOO and Rochester $75,000 to aid the Ft. Wayne <fc Pacific Railroad. The Plymouth Republican calls Reiser, of the Winamac Republican, “You big, nasty, ugly, dirty, vulgar, you,*’ which he aint, don’t it, Juke? *■-- F 11 1 l. It is reported that the Sheriff of Marshall county sits ou a chair and places his feet on a table, in taking position to announce the opening of court. Thedate Anson Burlingame once lired in Indiana, and twelve* or fourteen years ago he very closely resembled Col. Norman Eddy, of South Bend, so the Register says. John Root died at ten o’clock a. m. and was buried at one o’clock p. m. of the same day, at Michigan City. Rapid place,

For the UNION. Meeting of the Directors of the I., D. & C. Railroad.

Delphi, March 24th, 1870, The following officers were pregent: Mr. Ridenour (President) of Marion county; Messrs. Perrin and Givin, of Clinton; Mr. McCoy, of Boone; Messrs. Dugan and Schermerhorn (Secretary), of Carroll; Messrs. Hughes and Reynolds, of White; Messrs. Stephan and Thompson, of Jasper. No official representative from Lake county, Mr. Halstead the director from Lowell, having sold out and gone to California. Mr. G. W. Lawrence, of Lowell, was present; he is a warm friend of the road and has taken a deep interest in it since the organization of the company. R. S. Dwiggins, Esq., of Jasper county, President of the Fort Wayne and Pacific Railroad Company was also present. A goodly number of the leading citizens of Delphi assembled in the Court Rouse in the afternoon and listened to a short address from Mr. Ridenour touching the present, and future prospects of the road.— The good people of Delphi seem anxious that the road should be a

success. —. The chief engineer, Mr. Campbell was present with the Board of Directors, and presented a very satisfactory and neat report of the survey from Indianapolis to Dyersville, on the State line between Indiana and Illinois—distance miles—showing estimates of work, and profile. All who examined the report of the engineer pronounced the line practicable and of easy construction. The estimates for Jasper county are as follows: Distance, 224 miles. Grubbing and clearing, estimated cost, $1,500. •-» <, 28,800 cubic yards excavation and embankment. 10,000 feet of boards. 12,000 feet of curb timber. 25 cattle guards. 57,100 ties. 14 miles track laying. There has been local aid voted as follows: Clinton county $37,000 Carroll county 75,000 City of Delphi, bonds, 20,000 Jasper county 42,000 Private aid in Clinton Co., 11,000 Private aid in Boone Co., 10,000 Total $200,000 The donations for the survey have all been expended, and leaves the company in debt for some small bills, printing, etc., at Indianapolis. [And here, too. — Editors Union.] The officers of the road have made no charge for their time and expense, except bill allowed Judge Sohcrmerhorn, (Secretary), who accompanied the engineers for the purpose of securing the right of way. He reports the right of -way secured for about half the entire line to Dyersville. The officers thought best, owing to the hard times and monetary pressure nbw prevailing, not to incur any additional expense in furthering this enterprise at present, but wait for more propitious time. In the mean time Mr, Ridenour, the President, will cast around and see if he cannot secure a contract for building the road, conditioned that

certain amount OT local aid be rai*-| ed along the line, say SBOO,OOO, or a sufficient amount to prepare th* road bed. ll* say* there is no doubt but good parties can be engaged to build the road, if the people along the route will prepare the road bed. The length of the road to Chicago will be about 170 miles. The , facilities for getting into Chicago are better now than at any time before. j If tho people of Jasper county keep on trying and be of good cheer* we will get a road after awhile. Jasper county has done better for this road than any other county along the line.

Letter from Kansas.

Mr. J. W. Duvall hands us a letter from his brother-in-law. Mr. C. H. Cannon, who resides at Burling, ton, Coffee connty, Kansas, from which we are permitted to publish the following extracts. Mr. Cannon’s letter is dated March 15th, 1870. He says: “We have had our coldest winter weather within the last three days, when tho thermometer went down to zero. * * Plowing is about half done in this county. Nearly all the spring wheat and oats are sown, and some have commenced plowing for corn. * * * * “There is plenty of land in this county yet to be taken under the homestead act, and some of it is as good as any there is in the State—well watered, plenty of limestone, but no timber. However there is plenty of good timber on the railroad lands within 1$ miles which is being taken by the settlers and no harm thought of it. “You may think we are too enthusiastic about our State, but if you could see our soil, breathe the pure air, experience our mild climate ana drive over our splendid natural roads, you would think as we do. While you are having lowering skies, rih, snow, thawing, freezing and mud knee deep, we have a bright sun, dry roads, with an occasional shower which soon runs off the gently undulating surface of our country. When you in Indiana are shivering around fires and feeding stock six months in the year, we are plowing and our prairies are green with grass. When you are building bridges across sloughs with the frogs keeping music to the time of your axes and spades, we candrivc sixty miles a day during the month of March or any other winter month and never see a slough. While you are feeding stock with extra care to get them through tho winter, we can show you cattle in this county that have not been fed a bite during the winter, that look better than yours. “Hay and grain are cheap, and ponies that are tough and will stand hard usage can be bought for about the prices of common horses with you.” - ■ ••• 1 The Crown Point postoffice was broken into week ago Monday night and everything overhauled. About S3O was the booty taken. In 1868, 336 vessels arrived and departed from the port of Michigan City. In 1869 the number was 645. This does not include the number of those which Bought protection from storms. The Hebron correspondent of the Crown Point Register says that “Mr. J. Cliisler lost a child about one year old, on the 17th, and two others are not expected to live. They had been using red precipitate and took cold.” The Laporte Herald, says that a fair quality of water, colored with a poor quality of milk, costs seven cents a quart in that city. Two townships in Marshall connty voted an appropriation of thirtynine thousand dollars in aid of the Plymouth, Kankakee A Pacific Railroad. A large majority in favor of the appropriation was given in each township.
