quantity and variety of vegetables, superior mechanism, and fine stock, generally. A larger number of fine cattle, horses, hogs, sheep, &c., at least by ""trtie'-third, than has ever been on exhibition at.any Fair of the county. And it is acknowledged by persons who
have attended numerous exhibitions in different parts of the State, this fall, that' the Montgomery county effort was unquestionably agrand success. From tho best information we have been able to gather, we believe wc can safely '•pronounce it, thus far, the Agricultural exhibition of the State.

A CARD.
CRAWFORDSVILLK. Oct. 8, 1861. EDITOR. JOURNAL—Sir: In last week's Review I called lift* attention of the putjlic to the fact that I was authorized to raise a company in this section for Col. John L. Smith's regiment, and
at oncc adopted measures for the immediate accomplishment of this work. Since commencing operations, S. M. Hays, our Township Trustee Dr. J. B. Johnson, of Linden and some othershave gone to work in good earnest to fill up the company. Quite a number arc already pledged, and a full complement of men will soon be secured. The character of this regiment, wc suppose, is pretty well understood, but it may not be amiss to state that its ranks will be filled chiefly with moral and religious men. I know it has been said, that if Col. Smith expects such
men to make good soldiers he will be sadly disappointed when it comes to the test. Wc confess that we are numbered among that credulous class of
persons who believe that men on the battle-field, with tho fear of God before their eyes, as a general thing, are troubled but little with any fear of man.— Cromwell understood this, and hence his maxim, "Trust in God and keep
your powder dry. Christianity has an interest in the contcst that is now raging, and good men evciywhere should let their voices be heard and all thcirpowcrfelt, at any sacrifice, against a rebellion which, if successful, will
materially interfere with the success of evangelical truth, and give to crowned heads, the world over, another proof of the divine right of kings. And shall we not be aroused to the performance of duty in the cause of humanity and of God, now when the cannon of rebels
arc" thundering in our cars, and our friends of the South are calling for help? Let us hasten to the field.

From Camp of Tonili Regiment.
CAMP NLAR BAKDSTOWN, KY.,] Oct. 4, 1861.
MR. EDITOR: AS somo of your readers arc doubtless interested in the movements of the 10th Regiment, and
especially Co. B., I shall endeavor to jot down a few lines Occasionally for
their benefit. .We received our uniform at Jiidian-
apolis on Sunday morhihg, Sept. 22d, and about noon were ready to take tho cars for Jcffersonvillc, where we arrived about 8 o'clock the same evening, and immediately crossed over to Louisville, where we were welcomed by thousands of the citizens, and provided with an excellent supper and plenty of hot coffee, which 1 assure you we were not slow to partake of, not having eaten much since early in the morning.— Wc bivouaccd that night in a large warehouse, expecting to receive our
arms in the morning, and go on to join our forces on the Nashville road but from some cause unknown to me, we did not receive them, and were compelled to go into camp near the city where we remained several days and
whilst there we received many tokens of the kindness and hospitality of the people of Louisville—the ladies especially.
The right wing received their guns on Tuesday, and went down the Nash
ville road., The left wing did not get their guns until Friday, and left Saturda}T morning for Bardstown, where we arrived the same day about 2 o'clock. We expected to meet the enemy at or near that place, but were disappointed, for lliev disappeared when they heard
of our coming Wc captured' a scsesh flag near here,
and have taken several prisoners, but have had no fight yet. The first and second nights after we arrived here wc were called up, expecting to meet some deadly foe but after standing some time and no enemy appearing, wo were ordered back to bed, where we all slept
soundly on our arms, some in the middle of the street and others under the trees, using the pavement stones for pillows. Last MoncJay night the right wing camc up with us, and we arc now encamped on a beautiful hill-side just north-east of the town, where wc will
probably remain several days. We have to drill tolerably hard, but have plenty to eat, and the boys are all well and in fine spirits, except a few who have the measles—none serious.—
The scseshcrs in this part of the country have a very prudent respect- for tho "Bloody Tenth," as they arc pleased to call us, and will not dare to attack us unless they have greatly supe
rior numbers. You may probably hear a great many exaggerated reports of our movements and engagements, but at-these times it is best not to believe everything you see in the newspapers, until you have good authority for it.

There arc five regiments now about full that .will be armed and equipped, and sent into Kentucky this week.— Their places iircamp will soon be occupied by other recruits, who will be drilled, equipped and clothed, and sent into the field as suddenly as possible.
The 37th regiment, Col. Ilazzard, recruiting at Lawrcnceburg, received its uniforms, arms and' equipments on Wednesday last, and the Rising Sun Yisitor of Saturday last says that it will immediately proceed to Kentucky.
Adjutant General Noble has issued a general order, requiring each regiment now organizing, to send out a vigilant recruiting officor for every three men wanted, with orders to report by next Thursday night.

TO THE PEOPLE OF IMIJIA1V.1! In the progress of events, this wicked and unnatural rebellion, having for its object tho overthrow of our Governniontj and the subversion of our institutions, has extended into our neighboring State of Kentucky. On several occasions within the last few months the people of Kentucky, by overwhelming majorities, have declared their loyalty to the Union, and their determination to adhero to tho Constitution.— Thei'o is, however, within her borders a desperate and factious minority who arC determined, at all hazards, to plunge the State into revolution and all the horrors of
civil
war.
To this end they have inaugurated a reign of terror, and throwing off all restraints of law, proclaim a war of destruction and desolation against the lives and property of all loyal and Unionloving citizens.
In this atrocious altempt to coerce a loyal State into rebellion, they are aided' b}' large bodies of armed men from Tennessee and other seceding States.— Those rebel troops have entered the Slate from the south-east through the Cumberland Gap, from the south-west occupying Columbus and other points, chiefly from the direction of Nashville toward Louisville, seizing and holding the Louisville & Nashville Railroad up to within forty miles of Louisville. A glance at the map will show the immense importance of their position and theadvantages they havegainod. From their camps south of Louisville they can communicate by Railroad with every seceded State but two and can thus transport to their aid, in a few hours, men and munitions of war, from every part of the South. It is the determination of the invaders and conspirators to subjugate the loyal people of Kentucky, and seize for plunder and vengeance the wealth}' and populous cities on tho border of Ohio and Ind.
It should require no argument, or appeal now to arouse the people of Indiana to put forth all their strength.— When our State was in her infancy the brave men of Kentucky came to the rescue of our people from the scalping knife of the savage, and their blood is mingled with our soil on many a field. And shall we not stand by Kentucky now, in this her hour of peril? Not to do so, were base ingratitude and criminal folly. Wc can best defend Indiana by repelling the invader from Kentucky, and carrying the war thence to the heart of the rebellious States.
Indiana has already done as well as any oilier loyal State, and better than man'v ller troops are to be found in even from the Potomac to Missouri, and wherever their valor has been put to the test they have been found equal to tiie occasion. But because other States have not done their whole duty, it would be worse than madness for us to refuse to do even moro than ours to crush out this rebellion and bring about the speedy restoration of the Union, and peace with all its blessings. We have done much, but wc can do more, and the sooner it is done the quicker the conflict will be ended. There is no curse like that of a lingering war. If, with the immense superiority in wealth, population and resources of the loyal States, their power was promptly exerted in anything like an equal ratio witli the efforts made in the seceding States, this rebellion would be speedily extinguished. Let Indiana set the glorious example of doing her whole duty, and show to the world how much can be accomplished by the brave and loyal people of a single Stato.
To this wc arc prompted by every consideration of hope, interest and affection. All that we are, all that wc hope to be, is in issue. Our cause is the holiest for which arms were ever taken, involving as it does,^.he existence of our Government, and all that is valuable and dear to a free people.
If other considerations are required than those of duty and devotion to our cause, they may be found in the fact that the war has reached our own borders, and that if the energy and insolence of the rebels arc not promptly met and punished, our o\\ soil is not secure from pollution by an army of traitors.
I, therefore, call upon all men capable of bearing arms, and who can leave their homes, to cast aside their ordinary pursuits, and enroll themselves in the ranks of the army. Let the farmer lcavo his plow, the merchant his store, the mechanic his workshop, the banker his exchange, and the professional man his office, and devote themselves to their country., and by enrolling themselves either in the service of the General Government or under the military law of the Stale, bo prepared to defend their country and their homes. Every man in the State capable of bearing arms should be in the service of the General Government or the State. Let personal case and private interests submit to the overruling necessities of the hour, and let us show to the world by the sacrifices we are willing to make in person and property, that we arc worthy of our sires, and deserve to retain the inheritance they bequeathed to us.
Upon those who remain at home, I would urge the solemn duty of making provision for the families of those who have or may hereafter enter the army. The soldier in the field should have the sweet assurance that his wife and children, and all who are dependent upon his labor for a living, will be provided with sufficient food and clothing. Such an assurance would nerve his arm in the hour of battle and enable him to bear with cheerfulness tho hardships and privations of a soldier's life. It would be a lasting disgrace to our people if the family of any soldier should want for bread or raiment while our country is full to overflowing with all the necessaries of life."
In a time like this,'we should give freely of our substance for tho relief of those whose husbands, fathers and brothers arc periling their lives in battle.
I therefore earnestly rccommond that every town, township and neighborhood take efficient and systematic steps for the accomplishment of this purpose.

Indiana agents have been chasing clothing and other supplies all over Western Virginia, hoping at least to secure a limited portion for our gallant boys, but they were ijlwaysat the "next station," and no one could ever find them. When complaints were made to Gen. Meigs, Quartermaster General of the United States, lie would reply that 'large supplies were sent on a certain day/" &c. Hoping to find these supplies, the State authorities sent special agents to look them bp, but all their ehbrU wore of no avail, until a few d:\ys since somo person discovered that a large amount of clothing was deposited in a warehouse upon the Kanawha, and the recent freshet in that river completely submerged both warehouse and clot,lies.
Thirty-seven thousand infantry suits havq been sent to Western Virginia recently. The Quartermaster at Clarksburgh saj's that Rosencransordered all supplies to be sent to him. Now Rosencrans has not 37,000 men under his command, and he knew very well that both the Ohio and Indiana troops on Cheat Mountain were destitute and suffering. Why did he not order a portion of these to Reynolds, or let them remain at Clarksburg, where our Quartermaster could have found them? As it is, no one received thebenefitof them, and through the neglect of some Quartermaster, the}7 are rendered utterly worthless. There is rascality or stupidity somewhere, and unless our troops are better treated, somebody in Western Virginia will have to paddle their own canoe.
