T II E gAG L E SW • : -'.l'' DEOATUR. INDIANA. SATLHPAY, MAHCH 12, ISG4. THE NEWS In the Senate, a long(liscu?.<u>n took place on a resdut ion calling tor the report of the military commission of which General Dowell President. A bill was introduced to reorganize the Quartermaster’s Department. In the House, the gold bill, so amended as to authorize Secretary Chase to anticipate the payment of interest on the public debt. was passed. The House concurred in most of the Senate amendments io the deficiency bill. A bill was reported to drop unemployed Generals the bill increasing the rank of Provost Marshall General to Brigadier General was p issed. Gen. Sherman and his aim. were at Vicksburg on the 3d inst. We have no particulars of their return. There were reportsat B iltiim r - yesterday of a rebel rai l into Maryland. Their only foundation was the fast that a small rebel force had mad'? its a;? earance in London county, Va. a Tallahassee paper stab s that over 1,000 Federals have been buried on the battle field of Olustee, Fla., that tire number of rebels killed in that engaA'inent was only IG6; and that 200 Federal wounded have been brought to Tallahassee. A Brooklyn official has been in formed by Secretary Stanton that a cad for two hundred thousand mere men will soon be made and that the draft will bo enforced, Newbern, and nearly eve iy other Federal post in Nvr.b Carolina, are besieged by the rebels. No genend exchange of prisoners is about to be made, as been imported. Our relations with Franc' are ■ stated to be in a critical c mditi tn. The blockade of Charleston is net so effective as it might be. hardly a week passing without a couple of vessels getting in. Itisrumoied at Hilton II ad that the South Atlantic squadron is to be placed un ler adm'.r d Dupont again, A rebel division under General Pickett has occupied Suffolk, Ya. The procurement of forage and the enforcement of the conscription are supposed to be the objects of the movement. The whiskey bil has be n siguedby the President, and is consequently a law. The republican candidate for Governor of New Hampshire! elected by about 41 < 0 majority. ■ —[Chi. Times, Mar. 14. - Only One Yeah More. — In one vear from to-doy I’nsuh-nt Linedn's term of office w ill came tn an end. and the country will, we trust, be relieve 1 from the misrule of the fanatic abolition partv. W ehare endured unexampled evils from his misgovernmeat, and by the time uis tv: in <xpires the country will. 1 e so nearly ruined, that d will require the wisest statesmanship to rcnif 1el the governn. id. ami bring it back to what it was intended by its founders, and heal the wounds inflicted., An important task devolves on the democratic p :rty, it is to them alone we can nope tor the rescue of the country and the restoration of free governn nt. In view of the magnitude of the tasit, let us hope that wis? c >u<.? .a may govern the leaders ot the j art}, that judicious measures be adopted able and patriotic i.i«n selected as candidates for public trust, and a >iniUxl and successful vote go cu for our standard bearers. In hopes of democratic succ ss. let us rejoice that the reign of terror and misrule is drawing to an ei.u and that Abraham Lincoln has only one nn r> year to s i‘ve!

EnCOVRAGING. —Tho N. Y. Times j Washington dispatch of the 3d inst. says: „ ‘-The Provost Marshal General to-day informed a member of Congress that a new drat will be ordered as soon the present is tilled.” This is decidedly encouraging and must have a very stimulating effect in encouraging enlistments with a view to avoid a draft. The knowledge that if ■ we escape the pi esent draft another is in store for us must be quite consoling. It is a part of the penalty we have to pay 'for electing Lincoln President, and if it was confined to those who voted for him it would bo all right and proper, but unfortunately the democrats, who are not responsible for the great national sin are equally liable with those who are. This is unfair and will not tend to make the victims of the abolition draft any better pleased with the injustice done them.— ■'Ft. Wayne Sentinel. T:ir. Daxo-Gkrman War ox the Sea - X,evs from St. Thomas to February 6, is to the effect that the Danish gunboat Fylea and the Sweedish steamer Gefee are at that place coaling, preparatory to a visit to New York. The news creates intense excitement among our German and other foreign merchants, as it is believed that these vessels will come here for the purpose of seizing Prussian. Austrian. Hamburg, and Mecklenburg vessels sailing from this and other American ports. So great are the apprehensions respecting the safety of vessels of these nationalities that merchants are hurrying their ships olf in order to avoid the threat- ] ened cruisers. It is understood that the j Hamburg steamers, which are abouttoleave Europe for this port, will be trans- 1 fi i red to British owners, in order to shield thorn from capture. —£X. Y. World. McClellan s report. i 'fliis document has been in the hands .< of the public for some days; and has been ’ extensively read by the more intelligent / portion of the people. "It has,” says the j X Y. lie.aid. "fully established that • soldier before the country as the only ~ person who at die outset of the war fully . appreciated the vastness of the rebellion, and had a clear comprehension of the means by which it could be put down: and in this way, this report amply justi ties the ec'at with which he is received ( w herever he makes Ids appearance, especially by the soldiers, and gives the lie , to all the malign statements made against ' him by the Administration and its supporters.” Since McClellan's removalthe Army of the Potomac has done little which w ill tend to shorten the war. The Preside It has c'v.' lon a struggle the only resit.t of which seems to have been to inq o’ eiish the country without doing the enemy much harm. Th' Herald thus sums up the doings; of th? Administration: •‘Tbe administration interfered with the Peninsular campaign, and, by its withdrawal of sixty thousand men, from the number that has been assigned as’ necessary to cavy that campaign to a stic--es-ful issue, caused its failure. The administration. by its suspension of Gen eral McClellan in August 1862, caused the successive disasters of Popes campaign. An d the administration by the removal of General McClellan in the fall of 18: 2. caused directly the masacre at Fredei icksbnrg, the greater massacre at Chancellorx iilc. the advance of Lee into Pennsylvania, where the country wa s saved by the stubborn qualities of oar soldiers, and Lee's eventual escape across the I’otom to, which gave another year of exii tcnce to the rebellion. All this the administiaii -n lias done: but it has given an efteetive blow in the East towards the lestruction of the Conti leracy since Gen. McClellan was sacrificed to the clamor of the radicals.” All fruit trees have military propensities. WL n young they are well trained ths y produce many terneis, and their d.- •<•!.- are very straight. Notice to Non - Resident. State of IsnnXA > Court Common Pleas, Co-.ii.ry, j SS 'ay Term, 1864.
