•••:•.: Whoever is notprcparod to sacreficc party organizations and platforms on tlie altar of his country does not deserve the support and countenance of honest people. How are we to overcome partisan antipathies in the minds of men of all parties so as to present a united front in support of our country? We must cease discussing party issues, mako no allusions to old party tests, have no criminations and recriminations, indulge in no taunts one against tho other, as to who has been the cause of these troubles.

When weshall 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 bo time enough to enquire as to who and what has brought these troubles upon us. When we 'oiiu'.I have a country and a Government for curchildrcn to live 111 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 liini bo marked as 110 true patriot who will not abandon all such issues in times like these. —[Douglas at Chicago.

This is the rao&t pleasant arm of tho service, overy member being mounted, and when in tho field, relieved from all camp, guard and picket duty. Wo do not doubt that tho Captain will bo able to recruit his company immediately.— Come up, young men of Montgomery Now is the time for you to enlist in the cause of your country—to uphold the honor of its flag—to assist in making short work of this most unholy and unnatural rebellion.

Each Battery consists of six guns, and is manned as follows: 1 Captain, 2 1st Lieutenants, 2 2d Lieutenants, 1 1st Sergeant, 1 Company Q. M.

Tho Lafayette Journal of Monday says: "We are informed by Col. Wagner that the War Department has authorized Gen. Reynolds to transfer four of the regiments under his command to Kentucky. Tho 14th Indiana, Col. Kimball, and 15th Indiana, Col. Wagner, will probably be included in the four. Before proceeding to Kentucky, the

Indiana regiments will, wo understand, come home and rccruiWtofiil vacancies in their ranks."

H. M. Carr Promoted. We are pleased to notice that our old friend and fellow-townsman, Lieut-Col-onel II. 31. Carr, has been promoted to tho Colonelcy of the 58th regiment.

Resolved, That henceforth, wo not only dedicate, unreservedly, ourselves and our needles to tho cause of our country until it be restored to its former glory but that with our entire influence, we exhort and entreat our sons and brothers that they forsako not the flag of our Fathers remembering that death itself is prcferablo to the disgrace and anarchy that would then be upon us, and that we remind those who are so distressingly exercised lest none should be left to till tho soil or reap the harvest, that we have not forgotten the teachings of our revolutionary mothers. and that the harvest shall be cut' even though as is so much dreaded,there should be an insufficiency of old men and timid young gentlemen for the task. 2d. That the man who courts the young lad}' with vows of devotion, and yet who fails to prove tho word Indeed, is a villain but that the young man who professes love to his country and yet crau'ls under the bed while his brothers are going in its defence, is not only a woman hater but a coward. 3d. That wo will marry tho first chance wo get,provided it is not a Home Guard. 4th. That we never 6ee a peafowl strutting and screaming about thebarn yard but wo think of a Home Guard on muster. 5th. That a pickle is sour that an old bachelor is sourer, but that a Home Guard xsof all men the most miserable.

Before leaving Missouri they fired all the haystacks, corn cribs, &c., in their vicinity, to prevent our forces from obtaining forage in case we pursued them.

Southern Intelligence. BALTIMORE, NOV. 16. Tho Norfolk Day Book says the steamer Fingal has arrived at Savannah with a cargo of war munitions, &c.

The Richmond Dispatch says: "Wo have information that the authorities of South Carolina have communicated with the Government upon the subjcct of hoisting black flags, to which allusion has been made since the attack on the coast of that State. It is belioved that General Lee has received orders from the War Department urging that those captured must be treated as prisoners of war. It is said that this will be disregarded by the authorities of South Carolina—that the same course will be pursued as that adopted by Gov. Wise at tho time of the John Brown raid, and that when.South Carolina is done with the invaders, the confederate government can have them."

Petersburg, Ya., papers of the 14th received. They appear vei'y much in the dark as regards tho operations of the fleet.

LYNCHBURG. Ya., Nov. 13.—It is reported, but not confirmed, that the Union men of Tennessee have possession of Brystol.

The panic at Savannah in consoquenco of the victory of the fleet, was so great that even men were running away. Small ware merchants who were packing up thoir goods to leave had been notified by tl^ authorities that they would not be permitted to carry oft* their goods.

The Savannah Republican is indignant at their cowardly desertion in the time of danger, and urges General Lawton to issuo orders preventing any able bodied men under sixty years of age from leaving.

Capt. Taylor, who has arrived here with dispatches, reports that when the San Jacinto stopped at Cienfuegos, the escape of Slidell and Mason was ascertained. Proceeding thence to Havana, it was understood that they had taken passage on the 7th inst., on the British mail steamer playing between Trentse, and by way of Havana and St. Thomas and Southampton.

Interesting from the South. BALTIMORE, NOV. 14. The Norfolk Day Book of the 11th is received, which contains the following:

RICHMOND, NOV, 11.—Col. Corcoran, three captains and eighteen lieutenants, all of whom wero captured at Manassas and who had been confined in jail at Richmond, had been selected by lots to be hung by way of retaliation for the hanging of Capt. Baker and crew of the privateer Savanah,—

The Hon. Mr. Ely drew lots for Corcoran, who is now in prison at Charleston. In case the court at New York condemn tho crew of the Savanah to death, the federal officers will be immediately hung.

The Charleston Mercury of tho 10th has the following: "The Yankee prisoners are all safely in jail, where they will abide the issue of the trial of our bravo privateersmen at the North. Should one drop of southern blood be shed by the Northern court for dofending the South on the seas, it will be paid with interest. Self protection, and the enforcement of the laws ofnations and humanity, alike require, in this instance full and ample retaliation."

The Mercury says the federals would capture a large amount of cotton in ihe vicinity of Port lioyal.

The Mercury of the 9th publishes a letter with the startling head lines.— "Naval Attack on Port royal—Batteries Abandoned—The Enemy in Full Possession.—We aro in the midst of a mass of conflicting rumors which have reached us to-day from Port Royal.— Earl}- in the day it was generaly believed that the abandonment of Fort Walker was owing to tho supply of powder being oxhaustef*. Our later dispatches are not very different but very mortifying. They state that the fort was gallantly held by its defeuders until 28 of its batteries of29 guns were dismounted or rendered useless.

The Mercury continues: "There is no doubt the fleet will succeed in the capture of an immense quantity of cotton of the best quality.

Rev. Charles White, D. D. DIED, at Crawfordsville, Indiana, on the 29th' of October, Rev. Charles White, D. D., President of Wabash College, in the 66th year of his age.

His death was very sudden. He had performed tho usual duties of tho day, and spent a part of tho evening, in writing. His son was with him in tho chamber till 8 o'clock, at which time he left him, and returned at 10 and found him lifeless—evidently from a sudden rush of blood to tho head.— Thus passed away one whose life wasesteemed by all who knew him, an ornament to tho institution over which he presided, and a blessing to the church of God.

President Wmto was born at Randolph, Mass., December 28th 1795. He Was a lineal descendant of Peregrine White, of the famous May Flower. Of his early life there are no striking incidents. His father died while he was quite young. His mother was married a second time, to Rev. Asa Burton, D. D., of Thetford, Vermont, which place afterwards became his home till the completion of his education. Ho was fitted for College under Rev. RufusNutting, of Randolph, Vermont, a ripe scholar, and was graduated at Dartmouth College, with tho first honors of his class, in 1821. Hereceived his Theological education at Andover.

After licensure to preach, on account of impaired health, he spent a year or two at the South, and was invited to settle over a Presbyterian Church in Charleston S. C. This invitation he dcclinod, and on his return to the North was settled as colleague pastor with his step-father, Rev. Dr. Burton, at Thetford. Ho was-afterwards settled over the Presbyterian Church in Cazenovia. N. Y., and again at Owcgo, from which delightful charge he was dismissed, after his election to the Presidency of Wabash College, and as successor to Rev. Elihu W. Baldwin, D. D. President While entered upon the duties of his office in October, 1S41, so that his Presidency was of just twenty years continuance. From the first he discharged its duties to the entire satisfaction of the Trustees, the patrons, and of the students under his care. By his intellectual strength, and his rich and varied learning, he commanded their respect—by his great simplicity of character and goodness, ho won their affections. To great numbers of his pupils now widely scattered over the earth, the tidings of his death will bring both sorrow and joy—sorrow, that theiralma mater, in the ripeness of his usefulness has lost so noble a head joy, that an eminent servant of Christ has passed triumphantly to tho fruition of his heavenly reward.

Dr. White's labors in connection with tho college, have been varied, self denying, and arduous. The Institution, when he took charge of it, was still in its infancy in its short history previous, it had lost its principal building by fire. The re building had involved it in debt, to which calamities was soon added a severo shock, by tho early death of its first President. Its literary character was to bo formed and established—its embarrassments to be removed, endowments to be secured.— To all these, in addition to tho instruction of his classes, he devoted himself with great energy and success. Both at the East and at the West, ho exhibited an energy and zeal, a noble eloquence in preaching the gospel, and in pleading the cause of Christian education^ which have blessed every church and assembly which he visited, and have brought a reputation and character to the college, as well as substantial means for its relief and its future usefulness.

During his twenty years'Presidency tho collego has been highly favored with seasons of special religious interest. At these times the President has been the father and pastor of his pupils, and great numbers of them havo carried abroad, in their own minds and hearts, impressions of his eloquence and piety, which shall live on with them to the end of life, and through them to thousands of others.

As a teacher, as a preacher of the gospel, as an advocate for the truth and the cause of sound, thorough, elevated Christian education, Dr. White was equalled by few. In the home circle, as a husband and father, his spirit and example were above praise. A great man has fallen in Israel! Upon whom shall his mantle fall?

Southern News. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 17.

The Memphis Argus of the 16th, has a dispatch, dated Charleston the 14th, which says that the Federal forces have possession of Pickney Island, and had seized all able bodied men on plantations and taken them on board the fleet, and were preventing others from fleeirig, by force. They had made no attempt yet to effect a lodgment on the main laod.

The Memphis papers express great alarm at our preparation for an expedition down tho Mississippi, and demand that the entire resources of the country shall be put forth to defeat it.

The Memphis Argus says that Price l.as done much for Missouri, but far more for Memphis.

OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE. In addition to this, nearly evory resident of Indiana has relatives, friends, or neighbors i» the Grand Army of tho Union. Indiana has sent her armed sons into the field by thousands, and they are now stationed on the capes of North Carolina, along the Potomac, among the mountains of Virginia. or marching southward through Kentucky and Missouri. A few months may find some of them on the Gulf of Mexico, encamped before Fort Sumter and Charleston, or occupying New Orleans* With every division of our brave Hoosier army have correspondents, and letters from them ar« regularly published in the Journal.
