The East and the "West have clapped their hands", and the North and the South have shouted together for joy, at the approach of this day—hallowed from infancy by.' association with names and deeds which time's corroding hand touches not, except to make them shine with a purer and holier luster.^33ut a change has come over us likcthc potent spellof delirium preceediug death. This day, we, b}r pur representatives, meet.in the halls of our National Cap-itol-surrounded, not by the-splendid pageantry of a civic celebration, but by.legions:.of armed men. The song aucl daaco have given place to the bugle call and the military drill. Barbecues there arc, but they arc those of the tented field, at which the witching fingers of beauty are forbidden the loving task-of arranging tho viands. Bonfires illumine the heights, but around them aro encamped the hosts of contending armies. Tho swell of marshal music and tho deep roar of the cannon are heard, they herald not the Approach of some gaily uniformed cqmpany appearing-for a holiday parade, but the heavy and measured tread of a. real army marshaled for deadly conflict an army ready to pour forth life blood like water in order to preserve the institutions whose birthday we this day celebrate.

Compliments to (he Hoosler Boys. I The N. Y. Herald,,- of the 30lh ult,, speaking of tho recent exploit of the scouts belonging to the 11th Indiana
Regiment, says: '-One of tho most heroic exploits that has occurred in the course of tho campaign was that between a picket of thirteen men of the Indiana Zouaves' and seventv-five'ret)-
that the watchword of the rcgirnetitto which these Zouaves belonged, is, '-Be7 member Buena Vista," and if ever a watchword-inspired men to a rematteable display of courage, theirs did.— Twenty-three fell under the fire of the Zouaves, and only one under that, of the rebels This is the, more extraordinary as the rebels were well moiim tid and had all tho advantages of a fair fight on open ground. We apprehend that the South will have enough of Indiana before the war is over, and that 1861 will bp remembered there in a very different spirit to what Buena Vista has been hitherto." ",

But there is another purpose that the bravo boys of Kansas have admirably served.* The Indians of the great
Secession. They have among them a few thousand slaves, and are just enough civilized to imitate the savages of whiter hue who are endeavoring to stir them up to rebellion. They are in a state of chronic discontent and but for the barrier which Kansas presents, would certainly precipitate themselves into tho fight, and commit, among the Union men on the frontier, the. butcheries that' have made Indian warfare.the typo of all that is" horrible.

T»ar a Matrimony. The Chicago Tribuno, in noticing tho passage through that city of thc Wisconsin Seeond Regiment, says:
It is of this regiment that a good story has been already told by one of our correspondents. By the lato law of Wisconsin, a bounty "of85 per month in addition to his regular pay, is given to the wife or family of volunteers in service. The boys of the Second have been making good use of their time, and a large number of newly wedded wives are left behind at their departure. The boys thought it would not do to lose the ?5 per month. One instance before reported in our columns represents one-gallant youth as leaving Camp Randall, to hunt himself a wife, which he did and of seven days furlough made six a short sweet honeymoon. Such is the power of an uniform in assaults on female affection.
JR3T Several of the editors in the Confederate States arc fond of calling Mr. Lincoln "the Gorilla." Tho Gorrilla. as travellers tell-us, is ah animal that sits upon tho branch of a tree, and, when a man is passing under, seizes him around the throat, draws him up, and holds him suspended in-tho air till he is chocked. Have our friends of the secession press some suspicion that Old Abo may- haul them up to tho limb of a tree?—Prentice. T5

We should like to know, sa3's the Albany Knickerbocker, from some red tape friend at Washington, why General Wool is not called upon to do ac-ted tive service? General Wool is as brave as a lion, and is without question, one of the best posted generals ot the age. He has fifty years of experience, and has always whipped in every battle ho has ever participated in. General Wool knows all the ropes. He knows when to strike and when to manage.— He is truly a great man, and should not be permitted to wait another day in undeserved indolence. Wool is a true patriot, and willing and anxious to fight for tho 1 epublic. He is a man of great resources and unflagging perseverence. Woo! is the hero of the war of 1812, the Indian war of 1836, the war with Mexico in 1847. In all these wars he has played a leading part and in such a .manner as to receive tho plaudits and admiration of the *whble AmericanHpe0ple iiIt is an insult to the State of New York to not order "old Buena Vista" to take tho field iiv this glorious fight against perjury and treason. *.1.U—i-^—

The contracts 'arc let at more favorable rates than any former ones, and ar-thc rangements made to secure their completion on a shorter time, and the ten regiments will be turned into service in a short time and in a better condition than tho first six regiments were.
The armament of the new levy is to be different in some respects from that of tho former one. One or two companies of each regiment are to be trained as sharp shooters, and armed with tho "target rifles," like Bcrdan's rifle corps. They are to act as scouts.— What proportion of the rest are to be armed with Enfield rifles we do notconcerning know. Thc State has now in the armory, under charge of Assistant Quarter Master Balweg, nearly 3,000 Etifields, and enough of the "improved" and "rifled" muskets, and "long range rifles" to count up to the handsome figure of 7,000. Only about 1,000 of these arc altered flint locks. A large addition to the stock of rifles is expected in a fe*v weeks, as well as the two batteries of James's rifled cannon which we have mentioned. This little 'summary shows that the arming ©f the State has not been noglccted, and that our new regiments will go into service in good condition to do the most superior style of killing.—State Journal.
he inckiana'Boytj Set Right I he Record. George P. Buell,,of the Cincinnati Daily Times, in a communicatioh to that paper from Phillippa under date of June 22d, thus clcar.es.up the base charges which were made by the traitors against somo of our Indiana boys, in regard to the destruction of propof citizens of that place: ," "I have carefully examined every foot of the battle field of Phillippa, and have made inquiries of all parties directly and indirectly concerned, and am thouroughly satisfied that gross injustice was done the Virginia and Indiana troops by a correspondent of your paper that wrote from this place some account of the engagement.— Knowing how warmly the "Times'' has always sustained our gallant Indiana brethren—knowing how grossly they were slandered by Jefferson Davis at Buena Vista—knowing that a nobler, braver set of men never fought on any field—knowing"nothing ever affords tho "Times" '. editors more pleasure than an opportunity to correct a mistake—I comply with tho request of the best educated and most experienced military men on the ground from Ohio, Indiana and Virginia, and assure you that your correspondent has misrepresented the facts in neSrly every instance. "1. It is physically impossible, from the nature of tho battle ground and the position of the troops, that he tells the truth. "2. The inhabitants had word of thc advance of our columns, and packed up nearly all their goods, and have them yet. The story about desecrating pianos in a region like this, will be.duly appreciated by all that visit these" wild cliffs, and aboriginal glens. I have been ablo to set eyes upon but one piano. That belongs to a Secession young lady of Phillippa, who has been permitted to remove itto the house of an excellent gentleman, who lives 3 miles and a half in the country, and whose sympathies arc also in favor of Secession! I hear the lady play often upon thc instrument, and there is notcedent, a scratch upon it. "3. A considerable portion of the articles actually taken were immediately restored. "4. Both the Ohio troops and the inhabitants of thc neighborhood repudiate thc idea that tho Indianans commitany unusual violence of thc rights of private property, or neglected, in a single instance, to comport themselves like civilized and gallant men. You will receive a statement from officers which will satisfy you that I am correct. What I have written is from personal observation, and from what has been told me by the soldiers and confirmed by the people."
he Speaker of th Missouri Legislature Flogged by a fJnton Man. A gentleman of English birth, who was recently driven out of Shelbyvillo, Mo., by secessionists, yesterday received a letter from a friend in that place, relating the following pleasant circumstances: .r
Tho Union men held a meeting about six miles from here, at Miller's. John Glover addressed the meeting— In his remarks he stated that Camp Jackson was organized by Gov. Jackson, and armed by the Southern Confederacy, with arms stolen from the Baton Rouge Arsenal. Speaker McAfee was present, and said it was false. Glover said he could prove it. McAfee said he could not—"it was a lie." Glover left his stand, walked up to Mc-your Afee and told him he must take it back. He said he would not. Glover then "sailed in and whipped him so badly that he was confined to his bed for several days.—St.:Louis Democrat.

Letter a Sword from Carl Schurz. [From the Milwaukee Sentinel.]
This country has chosen its course, and is not likely to depart from it.— That the An o.-fcans should expect us to be swayed by any strong feelings of attachment to the United States Government argues an extraordinary forgetfulncss of what the conduct of that Goverment has been to us on all occasions. While our behavior to thc people of tho United States has been always conciliatory, it is no exaggeration to say that their Government has been always unifot m'y hostile and ungenerous beyond any European pre except, perhaps, that of the first French EmpireX^Tu our European disputes, our statesmen, when called upon to face hor.tilo despotisms, have always been haunted by the fear of having thc American Govei-nment on their backs. Is the paltry quarrel they fixed on us in thc business of the enlistment, or the tone of Mr. Seward's speeches, likely to rouse us to enthusiasm in the cause of thc Government at Washington? Neutrality—strict neutrality—is. all that tho United States Government can claim and as we maintained neutrality in the Italian war, when all our sympathies were awakened, much more shall we maintain it when we look on a struggle where our judgement still waits for further information, and where we shall assurodly not rojoice in tho military successess of either party.
I regret that I did not see youtf Hew are yTou now,, and how soon can you take the field again? I am very sorry that you cannot be with me now will call upon you before I leave Virginia. I thank you for your gallant and good judgment. I desiro very much to mako your personal acquaintance.— May God bless you and restore you to country's service.

Gen. McClelian's Appreciation of Col. Kelly. Oh Tuesday last, Gen. McClellan sent the following, tender-hearted,,and cheering dispatch to. Col. Kelly:
GI'.AFTO.V, June 28.
Col. Walhu-e sends Ci-n. McClellan the following slatcimnt t\[.. the affair near Cumberland: "I have been accnetorned to sending myr mounted pickets, thirteen in all, to different posts along the several approaches to Cumberland. Finding it nex impossible, yesterday, to get information respecting the enemy, I united the thirteen and directed them if possible to get to Frankforttown, midway between this place and I?omney," and see if the rebel troops were Uicre. They went within quarter of a mile of tho place and found it full of cavalry.
In returning, they overtook a party of horsemen, and at once charged upon them, routing and driving them back more than a mile, killing eight of them and securing seventeen horses.
Corporal Itayes, who was in command of my men, was desperately wounded with sabre cuts and bullets.
Taking him back, they halted about one hour and were then attacked by enemy who were re-5nforccd to about seventy-five men. The attack was GO sudden that they abandoned the horses and crossed to a small island at the mouth of Patterson's crock.
The charge of the rebels was bold and confident, yet twenty-three fell the fire of my* picket, close about and on thc Island.
My fellows finally were driven off and scattered, each man for himself. All are in camp now.
Corporal Hayes of Company A is wounded, but recovering. John C. Hollingsworth of Company is dead. He was taken prisoner and brutally murdered. Three companies went to the ground this morning and recovered everything belonging to the picket except a few horses.
The enemy were engaged all night in boxing up their dead. Two of their officers were killed. They laid out twentyr-three corpses in tho porch of a neighboring farm house. We shall bury Hollingsworth to-morrow.
I have positive information that four regiments of rebels are in Romney, under Col. McDonald. Tho report of the skirmish sounds like'fiction, but it not exaggerated. The fight was really one of the most desperate on record, and abounded in instances of wonderful daring and coolness. (Signed,) LEW. WALLACK.

A Xcw Cartridge Invented by In a a The new metallic water proof cartridge which theOrdnance Department has ordered to be tested at West Point, is the invention of Willis E. Moore, of Crawfordsville, Indiana. The cartridge case is made of tin. in thc shape of a'cone, and hat) two weak points in its circumference. When it is in tl-.cwith cannon its apex touches the breechpiece, and thus a chamber is formed between the cartridge and the cannon, said chamber being in the rear of the cartridge. Tho cartridge is pricked by forcing a sharp instrument down through the vent. When the charge explodes a portion of,the gas escapes through tho weak points of the cartridge into the air chamber, and by-cruit its pressure instantly forces thc metal case out of the gun. The value of this cartridge lies in the fact of its loading at the muzzle and yet cleaning the cannon at every shot in so perfect a manner that swabbing repeatedly is unnecessary. •_„-'-xK

$*3~ The editor of tho Cincinnati Daily Time?, of"March 21, 1861, says: The Scandinavian Remedies appear to be growing in favor with thc public, if wo may judge by the testimonials constantly received by tho proprietor. A letter from "Wisconsin, to be found in our advertising columns, announces that among the physician of that locality it is becoming very popular, and what ia very unusual, i. being adopted by thern in their practice,^.? a cure for many diseases which they cannot trflnt effectually in any other way. We understand that the immense trade carried on for several years in These medicines lias,dnring thc present year nearly doubled. Their process of operation is by a thorough purification of tho blood, and p. consequent eradication of di»ease. It cad the letter. Juno 2U.-

Prof. Wood's a Restorative. We cannot too earnestly recommend to the attention of our aged friends, or others who have been so unfortunate as to lose their hair, tho restoring properties of Professor \Yood"i= wonderful discovery. Certificates of its efficacy arc constantly coining in, and a village can hardly be found in the West, where living witnesses ennnot be found to certify from experience that It will not only restore gray hair to its original colur, but will restore to the bold-head the locks of youth and beauty, thus furnishing an effectual antidote for the ravages of time and disease. Among those who eer tify positively to its efficacy in accomplishing its work, 13 Judge Brcese, of this Circnit, together with other responsible witnesses. Grey headed bachelors and widowers who desire to make their market, and all others afflicted as above described, deserve to bear their misfortunes without sympathy, if they will not avail themselves of the offered remedy.

TIONS OF THE BLOOD OR SECRETIONS, in Svhich they do not give prompt relief, and, (if administered before the very citadel of life has bcon invaded,) effect a painless and perfect cure.
Bear in mind that the SCANDINAVIAN VEGETABLE BLOOD PILLS arc endorsed by the experience of thousands of living witnesses, who, in letters, affidavits, medical works and by word of mouth, proclaim them to be thc very best prcpara* tion of the kind ever offered to thc broken down victims of ill health. They hunt disease through every avenue and organ of tho system, and expel it thoroughly and permanently.
No one can doubt their superiority after one single trial—they aro not only better but in fact, cheaper than any other Pills, for it takes a less number of them to produco abetter effect.
