Soldiers' Monument Dedication.

The ceremony of dedicating, the Sol diers' Monument at Gettysburg on the 1st of Julyi were; grand and imposing, land the address pf Senator O. P. Mor- ; Ton, was one of his best efforts., We intended to" publish it iir full in to-day's paper.; but are forced for want of room to content ourselves with the three closing paragraphs, which is a sample of - the rcpleteness and high character of the - addres as a whole : - ' , 'While "wo pay this " tribute of love and gratitude to the dead, let us not forget the surviving heroes of the battle. They, too, offered their lives, but the sacrifice was not required. ' The admiration' love and gratitude of the nation will attend them as they pass down I the declivity of time to honored graves. In the evening of their lives, they will tell the story of Gettysburg to wonder- . ing youth, who will listen as did we, when bur grandfathers told of Bunker . Hill, Saratoga and Yorktown. 1 Many of them are here ; ; to-day ' to -' review the - scene of their3 struggle and triumph. How powerful the contrast between now , and then," The dark cloud which overspread the horizon of the nation is gone and all is brightness! The sulphurous cloud of battle,' too, is gone, and there is nothing to obscure our vision of the .field. The dead have returned to dust.' The fields once'eurnbered with bodies and slippery with blood, are clothed with verdure and harvest, and to-day , all 13 peace; beauty aad repose. ' 7 1 ; , ' We seek" not to ; commemorate a triumph over our misguided1 countrymen. It is the cause we celebrate. Our trls umph is theirs, and ' their children's children, unto the last generation. ' The great disturbing . clement has been removed. Vicious political heresies have been extirpated. The trial by wager of battle has been decided in favor of liberty and union, and all will submit. The people'of the North and South have met each other face to face on many a field, haye tried cach other's courage, have i found that they are much alike in most ' things, have iacreased their mutual re- ; epect, and are iow preparing to live together more fraternally than before. i The Southern States are rapidly recovering from , the . prostration of the ' war, and with , their deliverance from the incubus of slavery, with free labor, with free schools, with emigration from the North and from Europe, will soon attain a prosperity and power, of. which they, scarcely dreamed in former days. Their advancing prosperity is solid and enduring." 'We rejoice in it, and participate in it. The bond3 of union are made indissoluble by the community of political principles, by the complete identity of domestic and commercial interests, and by uniform systems of lax bor, of education, and of habits of thoughts and action. Henceforth disunion is impossible. . The Railways of Indiana. Comparative Statement as Regards Population and Area. . Our carefully prepared table of lengths of railroad in Indiana recently published, show that the . ' No- of miles of railway ' in operation in Indiana is . . . ....... ... 2,720 No. of miles projected with com- ; cies fully organized. ......... . .2,552 Total No. of miles in operation and j organized . ................ .5,272 ;.f Estimating the present population of Indiana at 1,750,000, this would give one mile of railway in operation to every 643 of our. population, aud one mile of railway organized and in operation to every 332 of our inhabitants. In the Western States, taken together, there is one mile of railroad to every 731 persons ; .in New England one mile to 346; in the South one to 960 ; and in the Middle States, one mile to 1,036 people. ' "; -. ' It will be seen that Indiana is much moro liberally supplied with railways, in proportion , to her population, than any other section of the Union. She also has more railways in . proportion to , her area. Indiana contains only one fifty fourth part of the United States, and yet she possesses one fifteenth part of all the railroads of the Union. ' This may be considered a favorable statement for ; a State ; so young, with resources whose i development has just begun.. Indian " apolis Journal! ; Ohio Nominations. ., - The Convention, that assembled at Columbus, Ohio, on June 22d, was very 4 1 arge and harmonious. The . unanimity of feeling displayed in making nominations show that the party is in earnest, . and is governed by principles, and not by personal considerations. Gov. R. B. Hayes, Lieut.-Governor J. C. Lee, " Judge Day, of the Supreme Court, and ;.State Treasurer Sidney E. Warner, were unanimously, nominated. for re election. J Col. Frank B. Pond, of Morgan county, waa nominated for "Attorney-General, , and . RichaFd rT; Porter, of Stark, for Member of the Board of Public Works,' by ballot. These nominations were afterwards made unanimous. " :i 1 ;'v TFrom the harmony exhibitevt In the convention, we judge that Ohio is ma- . king, preparations to retrieve her lost laurels, and that tho Republicans will carry the State by a large majority at . the next election ' ?

The Journal having made a brief notice of a certain article of the Humming Bird, reviewing the report of distribubutton of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Sentinel thinking it well to say ...something without seeming to understand the point, takes occasion to fnfornT its readers that the Superintends cnt has made 'certain inwdious comparisons F between ""Allen and Wayne counties because the former contains more children than the latter,' and showing its style Of courtesy and'respecr by certain terms peculiar to its" phraseology and taste. ' " x' " ' ' ' The simple facts in the case are that the Superintendent has only done what the law requires him to do, to reeeive at his office such statistics as are sent to him by the proper officers duly authenticated. . In these returns Allen county reports show a much larger number of children in proportion to her population than Waj'ne, and an inverse ratio of tax returns. It is this State of things, and not the conduct of the Superintendent, that is under review. The people of Marion are as much interested in this subject as the people of Wayne. The Superintendent has made no invidious remarks. He has only discharged his duty under the law. When the Humming Bird or any one else can furnish his office with any proper evidence that any unfair enumerations have been made we presume he will show a ready mind to do what belongs to him

to correct them, but we take him to be too much of a gentleman to make 'certain invidious comparisons between counties in the absence of such informa tion. Journal, July 10. The Virginia election on the 6th inst. passed off quietly so far as heard from.5 Official returns are not yet complete, but Conservative Republicans claim a majority of 30,000 for Walker. They claim also a decisive majority in both Houses of the Legislature. The major ity claimed for Walker is probably ov er-estimated, though it will doubtless reach a very handsome figure. The very latest from Virginia gives tae State to Walker by a majority of forty thousand.' This exceeds our most sanguine expectations, xnus nas ine Old Dominion given in her testimony in favcr of General Grant's policy. Of course there has been no end of wirepulling and political trickery on both sides, and probably the defeated side will accuse the victors of dishonest practices ou the largest scale.' So large a majority, however, is proof of strong convictions and a powerful party. This victory is not ultra radical in its signifi cance. It is not the work of extreme . ; men, although extreme men are in the ranks of the victorious party. It is simply the out-cropping of Virginia common sense, developed by the past few years, and aided by the action of Congress and the President. The old political party bonds of slave times have i at last been burst asunder. Good men of all parties have worked side by side, 1 and we shall soon see Virginia filling up with a class of immigrants who, by their industry and moral character, will raise the State to the proud position which she has always claimed, but which for many a long year she has failed to occupy. f Indianapolis, July 1. The statement of the Treasurer of State for June foots up as follows : Balance June 1st, 8754,734 63. Receipts of June, 81,562,439 72. Total 82,317,174 35. Warrants paid in June, 81,785,588 83. Balance July 1, 1869, 8531,585 07. 0 the June warrants, 8900,000 were applied to the payment of the public debt. Gov. Baker to-day appointed A. B. Campbell, editor of the Rushville Re publican, Prosecuting Attorney of the Fourth Indiana Circuit, vice Wicks, resigned. . DECISION ON THE COSSTITCTIONALITT OF LEGISLATIVE ACTS, &C , &C. The decision of the Supreme Court on the specific appropriation bill was not filed until the 10th. They do not touch upon the quorum question, tho' they permitted it to be argued at length before them. There is some dissatisfaction expressed at this course, and many do not hesitate - to say that the main question has been dodged. As it Is, there is nothing in the decision beyond the statement that the attestation of the presiding officers of the two Houses affixed to the bill indicates that it was properly passed, and that a quorum was present, and that they have no authority to impeach this attestation. A Frenchman's " Dsvick. A French journal is responsible for the following: In a small provincial town one of the residents, M. A. B., found that his house was rendered both damp and dark by the contiguity of a large tree which was inconveniently near to his windows He would gladly have It cut down, but the tree belonged to the commune and was not to be meddled .with. Being a man of resources, he sent for insertion to one of tho aris Ppapers the following paragraph: 'There is still in existence one of the trees of liberty of the date of 1703. It may be seen at X., close to the house of M. A. B., and the passersby. reverentially uncover their heads to this venerable witness of our grandest struggles and our most illustrious victory. Three days afterward aa order came , from the prefecture in Paris for the Mayor of X. to cause the said tree to be cut down which was accordingly done forthwith,

'The

Excursion to Cincinnati and Lawrenceburg. We started 'from Richmond ot six o'clock on the morning of the 7th inst, and arrived in Cincinnati at eight and a half, thus having a delightful little ride while the morning, was , yet cooU and we mnst say right here that the managers of the Cincinnati, Eaton and Hamilton road deserve great credit for keeping their road in such excellent repair. f We formed in procession and marched, down to the foot of Fifth St., where the boat 'Silver Moon' was laying in readiness to glide us over the somewhat turbulent waters of the Ohio to Lawrenceburg. ' The first sound that greeted our ears after leaving the depot was the Caliope on the" Silver Moon, playing 4Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines,' in a manner that made me feel just like we would at once join a like company of mariners on some foaming and tossing canal if some chivalrous person by the name of Capt. Jenks the second would only come gushingly forward and give us an opportunity. Well, we got aboard, whereupon the plank was hauled in and the boat swung from the shore, proceeding up the river some six miles, passed' under the Sus- ' pension bridge ' which" we are free to acknowledge is the most complete piece of mechanism we ever had the pleasure of seeing. " In coming down we passed the full length of the city, f thus giving those who were unaquainted with it, an eye feast which they will never forget. We then passed down the river to North Bend, the home and burial place of General Harrison, once President of the United States, where we disembarked and proceeded to his Tomb,' where we Congregated and partook of our dinners, of which 'there was plenty and to spare.' His Tomb is situated on a long hill, or hog-back elevation, about one hundred feet above the bed of the river, and about one fourth of a mile from the landing. It is a simple vault constructed of fire brick, end wears the appearance of having been built at least fifty years ago. It seems that 'Providence brings forth greatness from the most unseemly surrounding, merely to show us that it is not beauty nnd splendor to which we must look for the purpose of beholding His blessings ; but that we may know that 'He works in a mysterious way : His wonders to perform.' How soon we forget our dead ; they wither and fall like the leaves of the forest and are forgotten, while we still jog along forgetting that any one ever lived except those who surround us today. You would not know when you came to North Bend if some one did not tell you. There is nothing to indicate the existence of such a place excepting a dilapidated saw mill almost surrounded by barren hills, varying in height from one to two hundred feet. The General's widow is still living about one mile from the landing where she moved when their homestead was burned years ago. We did not get to call on her as we had but an hour to remain before proceeding down to Lawrenceburg. -After dinner the Band played a few of our national airs, after which we embarked again and took our way down the river. In front of Lawrenceburg we about-faced and returned to the city, having had a pleasure trip worth the time and money it took to buy it. We landed in the city at five o'clock, and having three hours time before leaving for home, we concluded to take a jaunt across the suspension bridge, which we did with perfectly satisfactory results to ourselves. We arrived at Richmond at eleven P. M., had traveled two hundred miles and had all the fun we could digest. There has hardly been a better day for an excursion in the last century, and may not be another one in a century to come. The round trip was made without the slightest accident, which is something that does not usually occur and if there is ever another such excursion we want it understood that we are booked for the occasion. s Yours, v-, : D.

Small Means. The power of money

is .online,, waoie over-estimated. . Toe greatest things which have been done for the world " have not been accomplished by rich men, or, by subscription lists, but by men generally of small pecuniary means. Christianity was prop-" abated over half the world by men of the poorest class; and the greatest thinkers, discoverers, inventors and artists,' have been men of moderate wealth, many of them little raised above the condition of manual laborers in point of worldly cir ' cumstances." And it will always be so. Riches nre oftener an impediment than a stimulus to action; and in many cases they are quite as much a misfortune - as a blessing. The youth who inherits wealth is apt to have life made too easy for him, and he soon grows sated with it, because he has nothing left to desire. n 1 Staining WooD.-r-Dr. Stolzel adds another to the many , recipes already given for staining wood of brown color. He first of all paints over the wood with a solution made by boiling one part of catechu (cutch or gambier) with thirty parts of water and a little soda. - This is allowed to dry in the air, and then the wood is painted over with another solu tion made of one part of bicromate of potash and thirty parts of water. By a little difference in the mode of treat ment and by varying the strength of the solutions, various shades of color may be given with these materals, which will be permanent, and tend to preserve the wood. 1 ' A correspondent writes : "I engaged a chaise at Galway city to convey me some few miles out in the country, .and had not proceeded far when it pulled up at the foot of a hill and the driver, coming to the door opend it. "What are vou at. man? This isn't where I ordered vou to stop." "Whist your honor, whist !, said the driver, in an undertone; "I am only desaving the baste. I'll just bang the door he'll think yon're out, and then he'll cut up the hill like the very divil. See if he don't." Color of Vermilion. It is a fact well known to artists that the splendidly bright color of vermilhon (cmnaber.sulphide of mercury) has a tendency, es pecially if it has bean mixed with white lead, to become blaekish brown and very dark colored in a comparatively short time. This tendency of the vermilion is altogether obviated if, previous to being mixed with oil, it is thoroughly and intimately mingled with about one eighth of flowers of sulphur, Whitewash for Outside Work. Take of good quicklime half a bushel, slake in usual manner, aud one pound of common salt, half a pound of sulphate of zinc (white vitriol), and one gallon of sweet milk. The salt and vitriol should be dissolved before they are added, when the whole should be thoroughly mixed with sufficient water to give the proper consistancy. The sooner the mixture is then applied the better. "Tommy my son, fetch in a stick of wood." :. "All ! my dear mother," responded the youth, "the grammatical portion of your education has been sadly neglected You should have said, Thomas, my son, transport from that recumbent collection of combustible material upon the threshold of this edifice one of the cur tailed excresences of a defunct log. Uncle BeN Wade. Who came so dangerously near being President, is doing the Pacific Railroad. A correspondent says thot lie is literally inspecting the road. When the train is in motion he sits at the door of the rear car and watches the track as if he had lost something valuable and expected ever3r moment to discover it. On one occasion, night coming on, Mr. Wade ordered the train to run on a siding and leave his car until morning, as he was determined to go over the road in daylight. As soon as he could see, a special engine was sent up and attached to his car, and the old gentleman having properly adjusted his spectacles, set sail westward. The Prohibitohy Law is Massachusetts. The Massachusetts State Constables are attempting to enforce the new Prohibitory Liquor Law; throughout the State trouble is still feared; some of larger places are under heavy penalties; for a single salo a fine of ten dollars; and twenty days imprisonment; for next violation, a fine of twenty dollars and thirty to sixty days imprisonment ; for every subsequent violation a fine of fifty dollars and from three to six months imprisonment. The keeping with intent to sell is punished by ten dollars fine and twenty days imprisonment. The seller is liable for all damage done by the buyer and drinker when drunk, and any person arrested for drunkenness can escape prosecution by appearing as a witness against the pefson of whom .he purchased the liquor. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to purchase a stove, buy tinware, copper, brass or sheet-iron wares, of any style or in any quantity, we would respectfully advise all the people and the balance of mankind to go the large and fine establishment ol Messrs.

We are told that ten of our substantial Centreville fellow-citizens, as soon as articles of association are prepared, will each subscribe one thousand dollars to wards the project. This is "harping' to some purpose, and, adding its volume to our humble efforts, it produces a very pleasant and agreeable harmony.
