honest people. How are we to overcome partizan antipathies in the minds of men of all parties so as to present a united front in support of our country? We must cease dismissing party issues, make no allusions to old party tests, have no criminations and recriminations, indulge in no taunts one against the other, as to who has been the cause of these

troubles. When we shall have rescued the Government and country from

its perils, and seen its flag floating in

triumph over, every inch of American soil, it will then be time enough to enquire as to who and what has brought these troubles upon us. When

we

we shall have a country and a Government for our children to live in peace and happiness, it shall be time for each of us to return to our party banners according to our own convictions of right and duty. Let him be marked as no true patriot who j\viU uotabunden all such issues in times like these. —[Douglas at Chicago.

Providing for the Soldiers. The women of this county, many of them at least—in all parts of the county—have been engaged during the past week, and are still diligently at the pr aiseworthv work of collecting blankets, shirts, drawers, socks, &c., for the comfort of Indiana's brave soldiers— many of whom, at this good hour, are really suffering for such articles. Not from any indifference on the part of the Government to furnish these articles of clothing, but from the fact that the manufacturing establishments have not been able to meet the demand of the army in season. Cold weather is at hand—they need these articles now.—

Then let all, who have not already contributed in this good work, give, and cgive freely, of such as they have, for othe comfort and health of the suffering "eons of our State. All articles left at .the store of Campbell, Galey & Ilaiter •'twill be promptly forwarded to the State -Quartermaster for distribution. If you Hiave a blanket, give it a pair of socks, ^givo them.

LETTER FROM PAWICAIf. CAMP MCATLEY, Paducah, Ky.,") Octobcr 2nd, 1861. EDITORS JOURNAL: I am informed that the Indiana Journal and Sentinel have given circulation to a report that Dr. Thomps'5h and tm'self had failed to discharge our duties as surgeons of the 11th Regiment. I cannot believe that the editor of either paper would intentionally or maliciously injure the character of those who wero not on the ground to defend themselves from such attacks.. But it docs strike me that, before giving currency and cater to such injurious reports, it would be well to ascertain whether cither or both of us were guilty of the non-performancc of our official duties. My assistant. Dr. Thompson, of Terre Haute, was at home on leave of absence, attending upon a sick wife, who is still too ill for him to leave. The charge against him is, therefore, particularly unjust. lie is not a man who would wilfully neglect his duties.

In regard to lm-self, I must say, that the charge is unjust. Our regiment left Indianapolis on Saturday morning, the 7th of September, for St. Louis, without medicines or hospital stores.— remained with Capts. Ivnefler and Darn all, for two purposes, until the following Monday. One of which was to accompany a number of the sick, who were too unwell to start on Saturday the other was to secure some hospital stores, which I accomplished through Dr. Bobbs. All the Surgeons from Indiana had obtained their medicines and hospital storcsat Indianapolis. Thinking that we would still get them there, I had ordered a medical chest, made at my requisition, and was not informed to the contrary until a day or two before our departure, when Gov. Morton told me to send to Dr. Wright, of Cincinnati. It was then too late to get them in time, and as we were ordered to St. Louis, I deemed it best to get them there.

We reached St. Louis on Tuesday evening, and found the Iiegiment had gone the evening before to Paducah.— I immediately handed in my requisition to the Medical Purveyor—told our situation. I urged that they should be immediately sent. We asked for transportation and were ordered on board the steamer J. D. Perry, which was expcctcd to start any hour but remained at the wharf till Friday evening. This time I endeavored to improve in making efforts to get cots, &c., for our sick. The Purveyor, Dr. Alexander, refused them, as he did many articles allowed by the Regulations. I called on Marshal lyase, and told him the necessity of having cots. He did what he could but failed in getting them.

Leaving St. Louis on Friday evening wc reached Cairo on Sunday, and remained thcro till Monday noon, and readied Paducah the same afternoon, without medicine, without cots, without hospital stores. A double portion, however, came to hand in the course of ton days, (excepting cots,) and but for the kindness of Dr. Austin, of the 25th Indiana Regiment, who kindty furnished me a few articles, our men would have suffered. These arc the facts in the case. As to neglcct of duty, I am willing that the officers and men of this Regiment may judge.

In future it is to be hoped that before the characters of those who have risked their all in defense of the Government is assailed, a little more caution will be observed.

I doubt not that those who have given circulation to the reports, will as promptly correct them. When either Dr. Thompson or m}-self fail in the discharge of the important trusts confided to us, I hope our commissions will be taken from us.

The Lafayette Courier, Wabash Express and Crawfordsville Journal will confer a favor by copying the above letter. Truly,'

in'this war Indiana i^doing wonders, and asks "Where is Kentucky?"

To the Patriotic women of Indiana. When the President issued his first call to the loyal States for help the Government was unprovided with most, if not at all, the articles necessry to the comfort and health of soldiers in the camp and in the field. The women of Indiana were appealed to, and they supplied the deficiency in our State with a generous alacrity that entitles them to the gratitude of the nation. The approach of winter makes it necessary to appeal to theijt again. Our volunteers, already suffering from exposure, against which they are very inadequately protected, will soon be compelled to endure the utmost severity of winter and multiplied dangers of disease. The Government is doing all that can be done for them, but when all is done they must still lack many of the comforts which men in ordinary pursuits enjov, and which soldiers need above all othors. Many articles of clothing that, to men with houses over their heads and warm fires always near, are more than a luxury, to men with no protection but a tent, no bed but the ground, and whose duty must be performed under the unabated rigor of winter, are absolute necessaries. They may save many lives that will surely be lost without them. These the patriotic women of Indiana, it is hoped, will supply.

An aditional blanket to every man in our army will preserve hundreds to the country and to their families. Two or three pairs of good strong socks will be invaluable to men who must often march all day in the snow, and without them must lay down with cold and benumbed feet on the frozen ground.— Good woolen gloves or mittens will protect their hands in marching, and in handling their arms, and whilo adding greatly to their comfort, will materially inereasc their efficiency. Woolen drawers and shirts, too, are a necessity to men exposed to such vicissitudes of weather as soldiers. All these articles the Indiana volunteers ought to have now, and must before winter sets in, if we would protect them from exposure and disease that may be averted by this timely preparation. Some of these articles the Government does not furnish, and others not in sufficient quantities to supply the waste produced by the exposures of a soldiers life.— Blankets cannot be purchased. The stock is completly exhausted, and the Government is soliciting contributions from the citizens.

Will not the women of Indiana do their share in providing for the men of Indiana in the battle field? An hour of cach day, for a week, given to the manufacture of the articles named will provide an ample store. Are they not ready to give that, and more if needed? urge upon them the duty of promtly beginning the work. Let them at once forward, at the State's expense, to the State Quartermaster, such blankets as they can spare. They will be immediately and carefully sent to such regiments as the donors prefer, if they have any preference. Let them singly or by associations, set about the manufacture of woolen shirts, drawers, socks, and gloves. The sewing societies of our churches have here a field for exertion wider and grander than they will ever find again. Will they not give their associations for a time to this beneficent object? The numerous Female Benevolent Societies, by giving their energies and organizations to this work, can speedily provide the necessary supply. Let women through the country, who have no opportunity to join such associations, emulate each other in their labors, and see who shall do most for their country and their defenders in this hour of trial.

The articles should be sent to the Quartermaster, with a card, stating the name and residence of the donor, and their destination if she has any choice, tho name will be recorded and preserved with the number and kind of articles sent. The women alone can meet this emergency, and to them our volunteers, as well as the Government, look for sympathy and aid. O. P. MORTON.

Address of tl«e Ladirs' Patriotic Association or Indianapolis to tlic Women or Indiana.

THE LADIES' PATRIOTIC ASSOCIATION met on Friday afternoon in response to tho Governor's appeal to the patriotic ladies of the State, asking for comfort able clothing for our volunteers who are suffering from the cold in the mountains of Virginia, and the hills of Ken tuekv. Knowing the desire that our sisters in all portions of the State feel to aid in anything that can contribute to tho comfort of our noble soldiers, it was

Resolved, That a memorial be drawn up by the ladies and a copy sent to every post-Offico in the State for distribution. asking the co-operation of the ladies in their vicinities. To the Women of Indiana

Winter, with all its hardships, is here, and the soldiers, who arc defending our liberties and homes, are unsupplicd with warm clothing suitable for .their protection while undergoing the exposure attendant upon camp life.—

Wc have husbands, sons and brothers in th.e field exposed to the pitiless storms of winter in severe climates. Wc are surrounded by all the comforts of home ourselves, the cheerful society of friends the warm fireside, and the soft, clean bed. Our volunteers have taken their lives in their hands and gone forth to battle for all that is dear to us. Shall we refuse to do all in our power to render their hard life at least endurable Can wc remain at ease and feci no sympathy for them?

The Quartermaster General, endorsed by the President and General Scott, has appealed to the women of the North for contributions of blankets, the Government supplies being exhausted.— Our own Quartermaster has appealed to us for assistance. Our honored Governor has appealed to us in the strongest terms for our co-operation with the Government to clothe our soldiers.— They need blankets, woolen socks and mittens,.and flannel shirts and drawers. It is said that the women of the South have even taken the carpets from their floors and made them into blankets for their soldiers! They have sold their jewels, and given the money to their Government, and, by their sacrifices and devotion, almost supported the Southern army thus far. Their enthusiasm knows no bounds, and they thus inspire their men with a spirit which has been but too successful until now. If they can do so much in an unholy cause, what ought we to do in one so exalted and just as ours?

We, the ladies of Indianapolis, arc rapidly organizing ourselves into societies for the aid of our Boldicrs. We meet at stated times and places to do work. We have an admittance fee for the admission of members, which gives us means with which to purchase materials to work upon. We also ask contributions of money or materials from those who are able to give, and we hope to accomplish great good in our labors. Such societies might be organized in every town, village and neighborhood in the State, and in the name of our suffering soldiers wc appeal to you to earnestly begin the work which is so imperatively required of you. There is scarcely a farmer's family of means in the country who has not a store of blankets, woolen coverlets, stocking yarn and flannel laid away, which is useless to them at present. These are the very things which our soldiers need! Women of the country! now is the time to make your patriotism manifest. We look to you for great things. Those women who, in the Revolution, most distinguished themselves, were countrywomen, wives of farmers, women of practical common sonse, who wero not afraid of work. Your husbands, sons, brothers and friends are fighting the battles of the Union. They are suffering for the want of articles which yoti can supply, and which you would supply wei tlicy at home. Box up your blankets and coverlets, and send them to our Quartermaster. Let your hands toil busily in making \jp your stores of flannel into shirts and drawers. Spend the long evenings in knitting warm woolen socks and mittens out of your supplies of yarn. Emulate your Now England

sisters in this work of love work as individuals, or in societies only work, and send in the results of your labors to tho proper authorities, & thus comfort the bodies and cheer the hearts of our soldiers. :fl -v

How can we reach you with our feebleness? How arouse you to active participation in this gacat work?— Would that we had the voice of an archangel, that with trumpet-tones we might awaken your hearts to a proper sense of the importance cf tho cause.— Unless our soldiers arc warmly clad sickness will ensue, and death will stalkabroad among them and carry away those who are dearer to us than all other earthly objects. Our army will become disheartened, our troops spiritless, and the best Government on earth will be destroyed. Liberty will be trampled under foot, and our beloved country be forever darkened by tho consequences of this dire rebellion.— Our hands are not strong. We cannot fight the battles of our country, or stand in her solemn councils but our hearts should bo tender and our BOUIS womanly and wc should not only feel for our defenders, but also give such aid to them as our sphere and means admit.

We earnestly solicit the clergy of the different churches throughout the State to mention this subject from the pulpit, and urge its importance to the people. Teachers, also, in schools could materially assist in arousing the interest of the women of the State.

We earnestly solicit the editors of newspapers throughout tfie State to publish this appeal, in order that it may reach all the people. as. CADY, 31 us. WM SHEETS, 'MRS. B. F. TUTTLK,

Secretary Cameron at Indianapolis—What he thinks of Indiana Troops.

Last night about half-past ten o'clock General Cameron, the secretary of war accompanied by Adjutant General Thomas, Senator Chandler, of Michigan and Mr. Samuel Wilkinson of the Now York Tribune, arrived in this city on a special train from St. Louis. They erc received at the depot by Gov. Morton and D. G. Kose, U. S. Marshal for this State, and escorted to the Governor's residence by a batiallion of the 19th Regulars, and the splendid band of that regiment. A very large concourse of citizens accompanied the party. On their arrival at the Governor's house the military presented arms, and the carriages drove up to the gate amidst loud and general cheers for Mr. Camoron, and the government generally. As soon as the guests had divested themselves of their traveling apparel, the large crowd in the street called vociferously for Cameron. He came out and was introduced by Gov. Morton. A prolonged and enthusiastic cheer welcomed him to the Capital of Indiana, In response to this cordial reception he made a very brief speech, in which he said that Indiana had done nobly in the war, that she had furnished more men in proportien to her population, and sent them into the field with more promptness, than any other State in the Union. [Loud cheers and cries of "that's so."] This he attributed to the energetic and able action of the Governor as well as the patriotism of tho people. [Checre.] He said that the cause of the government now looked cheerful everywhere, and he believed that a speedy triumph awaited it, [Prolongucd cheers.] Thanking the crowd for their welcome he excused himself and retired amidst loud and hearty cheers.

Adjutant General Thomas was next called out. He also complimented Indiana highly on her exertions in the war, and, like Mr. Cameron, said that he knew what had ben done in turning out men for the government service, and he knew that Indiana had surpassed any State in the Union in proportion to her population, and that her troops had borne themselves gallantly in every conflict. [Loud chcoring.] After a complementary allusion to Gov. Morton he excuscd himself, saying that soldiers were acting ancl not talking men, and retired.—Indianapolis Journal of Tuesday.

Our 20tta Regiment. The New York Herald says: The 20th Indiana regiment has certainly been in a position of great danger, and as far as we have yet learned, the members thereof have nobly extricated themselves therefrom. It is reported that during the night the regiment, by an adroit movement, passed the rebels assembled to cut them off, and joined the 9th regiment of NewYork volunteers, who advanced from Hatteras to assist them in their trouble. Col. Brown has not, up to the present time been particulary noticed, except in his own immediate locality. He is understood to have been a merchant is tho city of Indianapolis, and to have at one time filled the position of Mayor of that municipality. Of his former military knowledge we have no information, but by the recent piece of strategy. h.o_is capable of getting his command out of a dffiiculty when unfortunate cneough to ~be so placed.

THE ltEl'OIlT OP ("'APT. LANDER. U. S. STEAMSHIP SUSQUEHANNA, OFF IIATTERAS INLET, Oct. 6.

Siiu Late in "the afternoon of the 4th

enemy had landed a large force at Chicamicomico and Kino Kleet, and that the Indiana Regiment, posted there. was in full retreat before them. Also, that our three tugs in the Inlet were aground or disabled. The Fanny had

hours. at the request of the commanding ofii-

shelled the woods, and could see them embarking in small boats after their vessels, evidently in great confusion and suffering greatly from our fire.— Their steamers now opened fire upon us, firing, however, but three shots, which fell short. Two boats filled with men were struck by our shells and destroyed. Three more steamers came down the sound, and took position opposite the woods. We were shelling, also, two sloops. We continued deliberately firing upon them from P. M. until Hi P. M., when two mull were seen on the scabeach making signals to us. Supposing them to be two tf the Indiana regiment, wc sent an armed bo.'.t and crew to bring them off. covering them at the prune time with our fire. Upon the boat rearing the beach they took to the water. One of them was successful in reaching the boat, private Warren 0. Haver, Company II, Twentieth regiment oflndiana troops. The other man, private Charles White. Company H, Twentieth Regiment of Indiana troops,- -was unfortunateh drowned in the surf.

Private Haver informs me that lit. was taken prisoner On the morning of the 4th that he witnessed our fire, which was very destructive. lie states that two of our shell fell into two sloops, loaded with men, blowing the vessels to picccs and sinking them.— Also, that several of the officers were killed and their horses seen running about the track. He had just escaped from his captors, after shooting the captain of one of the rebel companies. He states that the enemy were in the greatest confusion, running wildly into the water, striving to get off to their vessels.

Private Haver now directed me to the point where the rebels were congregated, waiting an opportunity to get off. I opened fire again with succcss, scattering them. Wc were now very close, in three i'athems water, ami the fire of the second shell told with cfl'ect.

Six steamers were now off the point, one of which I recognized as the Fannv.

At, 5:25 P. M. we ceased firing, leaving the enemy scattered along the beach for upward of four miles. I fired repeatedly at the enemy's steamer with our rifled cannon, a Parrott 30 pounder, and struck the Fanny, I think, once. I found the range of this piece much short of what I anticipated, many of the shot turning end over end, and not exceeding much the range of the smooth-bore H2-pounder.

I inclose herewith the memorandum of tho amount of ammunition expended to-day. I am, respectfully, your obedient servant.
