THURSDAY, JI!LY lO, 1863

Whoever is not prepared to sacrcfice party organizations and platforms on the altar of his country ifcosnot deserro the support and countenance of honest people. How are we to overcome partisan antipatuies in the minds of men of all parties so as to present a united front in support of our country? We must ccase discussing party issues, make no allusions to old party tests, hare no criminations and recriminations, indulge in no taunts one against the other, as to who has been the cause of these troubles.

When weshall have rescued the Governmentand country from its perils, and seen its flag floating in triumph over overy inch of American soil, it will npl then be tiiac enough to enquire asto who and vh&t has brought these trouoles upon us. When we shall have a country and a Government for our children to live in pcace and happiness, it shall be time for each of us to return to our party bankers according to our own convictions of right and duty. Let him be marked as no true patriot who will not abandon all such issues in times like these. —[Douglas at Chicago.

Governor's Proclamation. The proclamation of Governor Morton, calling upon patriotic Indianians to rally to tho support of the Government, will be found in this issue. The call om the President is for 300,000 men. The quota of Indiana for the present is eleven regiments of Infantry, and six batteries of Artillery.

CONCERT TO-MGKT. ft "vi'l Lio seen from notice published elsewhere, that a grand vocal aud instrumental Concert will be giren at McClelland's TTall, this city, this evening, for the benefit of the military hospitals at New Albanj*. This is a laudable effort, and we trust all feeling an interest in the welfare and comfort of our sick and wounded soldiery will make it their especial business to attend. There is true patriotism in such "aid and comfort" as this.

Order of Adj't Gen. RT«Wc. We publish in to-day's Journal the "General OMer" of the Adjutant General bf Indiana, giving the number of volunteers callcd for, the manner of recruiting, &c. The Government proposes paying a premium of two dollars for every accepted recruit also, that every volunteer who enlists for three years or during the war, shall receive his first month's pay and in addition thereto, twenty-five dollars (of the one hundred dollars) bounty, in advance. Indiana, we notice, as well as many other loyal States is already actively moving in this work. To previous calls, Montgomery couuty has prompt, ly responded. Sho will again be heard, and in due season.

GEI. WALLACE.

A special dispatch to the-Cincinnati

'Gazette of Tuesday, 8th inst., says, Gen. Lev. Wallaco was on the floor of the House and the Senate a short time yesterday, and was received with marked distinction. The story of his having been rebuked or relieved of his command on account of his vigorous management at Memphis, or any other reason, is utterly untrue.

iQrTlie Treasury Note bill has passed both Houses of Congress, and will bo a law when signed by the Presi-

dent. It authorizes the issue of $150000,000—$35,000,000 of which may be in notes of less denomination than $5.

THE 18th BATTERY. Tho State Jonrnal says "Lieutenant Eli Lilly, late of the 21st regiment of Indiana volunteers, has been author ized to raise a battery, to be known as the 18th Battery of Indiana Artillery, with headquarters at Greencastle. Lieut. Lilly is known to many of our citizens as an efficient and intelligent officer who will do good service, and We hope ho will speedily fill his battery and be ready for the field." -7-7 ''1 ^^"Latest accounts say that the ex?^peditidn which left Memphis to reinforce Colonel Fitchtioet him near the mouth of White River, he having evacuated St. Charles.

MORNING NEWS.

McClellan to be starred Oat. WASHINGTON, JULY 9.

A late copy of the Rictoaoi^Sxaminer say a tho robels :could p^a veneer tain ly cut off McClellan's re1%tu| butjt. would bo' far betted to prevent his receiving further supplies and starve him into a capitulation.

It says: "Fill up our armies, and prepare for a contest as long as our enemy will choose to urge it, and lot it be as energetic as possible."

Another letter says a number of our wounded havo come in, having been ordered by the rebels to seek their own camps. Our loss now, says this letter, is reduced to under 10,000.

Tbe Rebel Loss*. NEW YORK, July 9.

An army letter states that a rebel captain, taken prisoner, confesses the rebel loss oh Friday, alt Gains' Hill, was 24,000, and their total loss during the week, from 60,000 to 70,000.

Burn side's Forces.

A letter to the N. Y. Tribune, dated James, river 7th, says the veteran forces of Burnside have formed a junction with tho army of the Potomac. Gen. Burnside made his preparations for an advance inland from Newbern, and on Friday last the command to advance was to ..have been given, but on that day dispatches were received which changed the complexion of things.— They announced the results of the series of battles before Richmond and urged Burnside to send a part of his force to McClellan. Not an hour was lost in answering the call. Orders were carried in hot haste. Freight and armament was discharged from vessels, and all were coaled, watered and provisioned at once.

The attention of those desiring protection against disaster by lightning, is directed to the advertisement of Locke & Munson, manufacturers of the "Copper Tubular Lightning Rod," Indianapolis, lnd., to be found in our advertising columns. This rod is said by scientific men to be far superior to anything of the kind extant and from the rules of the "Indiana Fire Insurance Company," we notice that when a building is protected by this rod, five per cent, may be deducted from the premium note, while no deduction is authorized where iron rods are used.— Address Locke & Munson, Indianapolis.

Indictment of the Parties in tlic Stover fraud. We find the following report of the Grand Jury in the Stover fraud case in the New York Express of Wednesday evening:

COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. Before Becorder Hoffman. June 25.—The Grand Jury came into Court this afternoon and presented a large number of indictments, among which were three against Samuel Hallett, broker, at 58 Beaver street, charging him with forgery and false pretences, in connection with the overissue of Indiana bonds. There were also several indictments against Daniel C. Stover, the Indiana State Agent, charging him with the same offence. Mr. Hailett was in Court attended by his counsel, Mr. John E. Barrill. Mr. Hailett made application to the Court to fix tho bail. The Recorder fixed the amount at §15000 or 05000 for each indictment. Mr. Edwin J. Brown, of No. 3SC Broadway, gave the required surety. It should bo here stated that the indictment found against Mr. Hallet last week was only provisional, for the purpose of bringing hinq into the custody of tbe Court.

Mr. Stover is already in custody in default of £5,000 bail as fixed by the Court.

On motion of Mr. Hall, the indictments were trasferred to the Courts of Order and Terminer. This will put the trial off till October next, when the term of that Court commences.

McClelland Address to the Army vr, of the Potomac. WASHINGTON, July 6.

McClellan has issued an address to the army of the Potomacon the achievements of the last ten days, saying: "You have succeeded in changing your (base of operations by flank movements, always regarded as the most hazardous of military exped rents. You have saved all your material, all you^ trains and all your guns, except a few lost in the battle, taking in turn guns and colors from the enemy. Under every disadvantage of numbers,- and necessarily of position, you have in every conflict, :beaten back your foes with enormous slaughter. We are prepared to meet the enemy who may at any time attack you. Let them come, and we will convert their repulse into final defeat.

Your

PROCLAMATION*

To the people of Indiana: The large number of troops required to garrison and hold ^hegreiat «x$££t of territory which li#!beef| wre||gd from the possession ofr thejjrebeld^y the many and dlB^g^ish.e^ victories that have attened the tJiiionarnisfenables the rebels greatly to outnumber pur forces now in the vicinity of Richmond. Tho greater part of the rebel army has beon concentrated at Richmond, their last stronghdlU, for & final and desperate struggle, aud the ariny of the Uniohfwhili) fighting with 9 gallantly hardly equalled, and neve* surpassed in the annals of warfare, hasby overwhelming numbers been compelled to a short and temporary retreat.

Tho President in the exercise of the powers vested in him by tho Constitution and laws of the United States, has called for 300,000 men, a force deemed entirely adequate to the crushing out of the rebellion and tho restoration of peace, and the Union._of the States.

Again I call upon the loyal and patriotic men of Indiana, to come forward and suppljr the quota due from our State. Up to this hour Indiana occupies a most exalted position connected with the war. Her troops have been in almost every battle, and have behaved with uniform and distinguished gallantry. Never before has the State held so proud a place in the opinion of the world, and it should be the prayer and effort of every loyal citizen that she may not now falter, and that nothing may hereafter occur to detract from her well earned honors. But while we are justly proud of the high rank Indiana has attained, we should never forget that our allegianco and highest duty are due to the nation, of which Indiana is but a part. Then in struggling for our National Government, we are contending for our National existence, honor, and all that is dear to freemen, and that in this strug-

gle we must succeed at whatever cost.— That it is the duty of every State to furnish promptly her full proportion of the military force called for by tbe President, and that in doing so she has no right to dictate the terms of his military policy, or proscribe conditions precedent upon which such force shall be furnished. To do so would be to recognize the odious doctrine of State Rights, as it has been taught by rebel politicians for many years, which is but another namo for secession and the eau3e of all our woe.

I therefore call upon every man, whatever may be his rank or condition in life, to put aside his business, and come to tbe rescue of his country. Upon every man individually let me urge the solemn truth, that whatever may be his condition or business, he has no buiness or duty half so important to himself and family as the speedy and effectual suppression of the rebellion.

Those who from ago and infirmity cannot enter the army can yet do much to stimulate others and I want evory man to feel especially called upon to exert himself, and by public and private exhortation, and by every legitimate influence encourage the immediate filling up of the new ments. And to the Women'of Indiana let me specially appeal .to them whose hearts are so full of lovo of country, and who, by their labors and contributions, havo done so much to relieve the sick and wounded soldiers. Emulate tho virtues of the Roman matron urge your sons, husbands and brothers to the field, ^.our influ ence is all-pervading and powerful And to the lovely maiden let mo say, Beware of that lover who, full of health and vigor, lingers at home in inglorious ease when his country calls him to arms.

LADOGA FEMALE SEMINARY.

LADOGA, July 8th, 1862.

ED. JOURNAL The exercises of the graduating class of tho Female Seminary of this place were held on Wednesday evening last, in the church near the Seminar}' buildings. The audience was very large—indeed uncomfortably so, as tho church is not one of the most commodious. A largo portion of the congregation were obliged to stand outside, taking their chances of getting near enough to a window to hear or see the performances. It is to be hoped that ere many moro "commencement seasons'' roll around this institution will be provided with alarger room for holding its exhibitions.

Prof. Bailey opened the exercises with a short, earneet prayer—long enough, however, to cover the whole ground, and well suited to the occasion. "Beligion," by Miss Jennie Webb, was the first essay read, and the composition did great credit to the fair authoress. It were useless for me to attempt a sketch of it, as I could only give a few of the many nice expressions embodied and such a dissection would likely be condemned by those who hoard it read, as detracting from the merit of the original. Suffice it to say that it created great satisfaction among the auditors, and was listened to with unusual attention. With the exception of a very slight quiver in the voice, the delivery was excellent.

Tho Valedictoryby Miss Clara Perkins, "was a well-written, well-deliver-ed address, free from anything like affectation, and replete with sound sentiment and heartfelt emotions of mingled joy and sorrow such as every student must feel at parting with Alma Mater, and going forth to battle with the world single-handed. Miss P. closed with an affectionate farewell to tutor and fel-low-student. Taking this production as an index, it is my impression that she would make her mark as a writer, should she incline to do so. ...

The conferring of degrees by Prof. Bailey was next in order.' It was very evident that the Professor is not in the habit of "making speeches," as he did not tax his lungs sufficient to make himself heard by all. I hope he will pardon me if I suggest that he practice a louder tone of speaking, as it is very uninteresting to an audience to know that something is being said, and not be able to hear it. ,The music, (vocal, with piano accompaniment.) was very good, but a little too weak, owing to the fact, I suppose, that "the people" were listening. Allow me to say, ladies, that if you had sung as you did while practicing, \i would havo been much more entertaining. ..

The levee at the Seminary after the exhibition, was a very pleasant affair, a

,{goodlie

companie" of the friends

and members being present joining, for a few hours,in asocial and intellectual re-hnion.

Thus ended one of the most pleasant anniversaries which we Laaogaians ba^e ©ySr -be&n permitted to enjoy. 'SQUIRE:

They were all safe at Malvern Hill—one only excepted, perhaps—on Tuesday in position for action. Whether the piece reported lost was afield gun or one of the seige guns, is not known.
