Whoever is not prepared to sacrcfice party organizations and platforms on the altar of his country docs not deservo the support and countenance of honest people. IIow 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 discussing party issues, make no allusions to old party tests, have no criminations and recriminat ions, indulge in no taunts one against the other, as to who has been the cause of theso troubles.

When weshall have rescued the Governmcntand 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 wo shall have a country and a (jovernment for ourchildren to live in peace and happiness, itshall be time for each of us to return to our party banners according to our own convictions of right and duty. Let him bo marked as no true patriot who will not abandon all such issues in times like these. .—[Douglas at Chicago.

War Jlecting.

The war meeting held atMcClelland's Hall, on Saturday afternoon last, was one of the largest and most enthusiastic ever assembled in this place—at least for many months. It was organized b}* calling John Lee to the chair, who stated the object of the meeting in a brief but forcible manner.

The meeting was then ably and eloquently addressed by Hons. Jas. Wilson, and M. D. Whito, urging their fellow-citizens to prompt and energetic action,' That Indiana had been invaded—her soil polluted by the tread of rebel marauders and that the time had come for determined, fireed action, by the people of the North—that ever}7 patriot should and would awake to a sense of his duty to his country, and his own fire-side. The meeting then adjourned.

Recruiting in Madison Township. We are pleased to learn that recruiting for the 72d regiment is progressing most satisfactorily in Madison township, in this county. Also, that the following patriotic citizens of that township, viz: C. W. White, David

tJ?arker,

James H. Stoddard, and H.

jKentner, have pledged themselves to pay the sum of five dollars per month 'to the family of each volunteer going from their midst. Further, that Mr. ^Noah Stingly, another patriotic citizen of the township, pledges himself' to ^provide for the families of five soldiers -during their absence. Let our citizens .•"of. wealth in other portions of the

A Complaint*

ED. JOURNAL—I am not a

gruxtblor whon ercnthe

shadow of justice is meted oat, but In theso days of war that "even hand" la not always shown. Montgomery county has a Senator, a Major General, a Brigadier General^ Colonels, Majors, Captains, Lieutenants, Quartermasters, Surgeons and horses almost beyond number in the service of the country. But when it

comeB

to rank and file, that

country loving old county numbers up few and scattering. The fighting portion of the army mustcome up from other parts. Not even yet satisfied with her patriotism, she begins pulling wires for the officers in the new regiment. By trickery she may—T expect will—officer the regiment. Is it justice? True patriotism says NO! Does it look like the desire to bleed rebels? Nay, verily but rather a rage to bleed our already staggering country and stuff the pockets with "green backs." We hope Gor. Morton will give honor to whom honor is duo. Respectfully,

STATE OF BOONE.

—We were no little surprised, and somewhat amused, to find the above uncandid and eminently false statement in the State Journal—written, no doubt, by some disappointed aspirant for military position, who is endeavoring to assuage his grief by cultivating an acquaintance with the "green eyed monster" jealousy. To say that the writer is gangrened by county jealousy, would be putting it rather mild— the disease has so far got the better of him, as to paralyze his judgment and utterly obliterate the faculty by which men are wont to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

With especial ill-graco does this article come just now, when, even while wo write, a recruiting officer from Boone county—raising a company to pass as a Boone county company—is recruiting men for the "rank and file" from Montgomery county and within five miles of Crawfordsville. Such articles might interfere with his success somewhat—we hope not, we hope the men of old Montgomery havo too much self-respect and too pure a patriotism to be influenced by such motives as paltry county pride. This is not the first time that Montgomery county men have been recruited to fill up Boone county companies.

The fact that Montgomery county has a "Major General, a Brig. General. Colonels, Majors, Captains, Lieutenants, Quartermasters and Surgeons beyond number" is certainly no cause of disgrace to the county, and as certainly no just cause of complaint in any other county. Whatever distinction Montgomery county men have arrived at, they have gained on the field, and would have gained it whether they had lived in Boone or Montgomery it is the men and not the counties that have achieved reputation and promotion. Our men started as low as any—why whine and complain when they win honors It is rather a backhanded compliment to our worthy Governor to berate him as the first part of the article does, and then say "we hope Gov. Morton will i^ive honor to whom honor is due."

With regard to the fling fit our cuunty in respect to the "new regiment,'' we have only to say that if making up the first full company for that regiment in the district—which is now here ready and waiting for the opening of the camp—and half filling the second company, which is already done, is "pulling tho wires", we of Montgomery county plead guilty, we've gone and pulled 'cm.

Montgomery county had, previous to the last call for troops, over one full regiment of men in the service, distributed in companies and parts of companies, in the following regiments and batteries—we give the list in order that our "green eyed" friend may satisfy himself of the truth of the statement by a reference to the rolls if he is skeptical—9th, 10th, 11th, 14th, 15th, 20th, 21st, 25th, 31st, 35th, 38th, 40th, 5Sth, and GOth regiments Indiana volunteers, Ira Harris', and Bridgeland's cavalry, Thompson's Battery, Naylor's Battery, and 45 men in tho 19th regulars.

In addition to tho above, Montgomery county, under the new call, has already furnished about 40 men to the 18th Battery, one full company to the 72d regiment, and will soon furnish another full company for that regiment. All we ask for Montgomery is "JUSTICE TO THE LIKE."

IStli Battery.

Lieut. Sam. L. Hartman. of this place, who has been actively engaged, for the past two weeks, recruiting for the 18th Battery, went into camp at Greencastle on Tuesday morning last with thirty-four men—sons of this county. Old Montgomery will furnish at least fifty men for this Battery before its completion

Good for Old IlendrickS. Tho State Journal of Tuesday, sa}*s the Board of Commissioners of Hendricks county met in extra session on Friday last, and passed an order granting a bounty of $20 to each person who shall volunteer' in the 70th regiment from that county.

This is liberal, and altogether right in our neighboring county of Hendricks What will Montgomery county do in the way of a bounty to her sons now being enrolled for the 72d regiment? Fear not the wrath of the people, County Fathers, but do your duty as patriots. -'U

TWO HUNDRED VOLUNTEERS IN TWO HOURS.

Lafayette blazed with excitement yesterday. The call of tho Governor for two hundred men for immediate service on the border reached us at a late hour on Saturday night. The telegraphic despatch together with Chris. Miller's reply, was placed on the bulletin board early on Sunday morning and was surrounded by an immense crowd. Notices of a meeting of citizens to be held at the Court House at two o'clock P. M., were read in all the churches. Several ministers referred to the call in eloquent terms. At two o'clock the public square exhibited a most unusual scene for the Sabbath day. Excited crowds poured into it from every direction. A meeting was organized in the Court House amid much confusion. G. S. Orth was called to the chair, on taking which he made a few pertinent and stirring remarks. Short and timely speeches were made b}r Judge Huff, Mayor Ward and other citizens. The spirit of the meeting was evidently in favor of immediate, earnest and energetic action, not long, windy and verbose speeches. G. S. Orth announced his intention to enlist. Judge Huff did the same. Both gentlemen signed the list. The rush then commenced and one hundred and seventy names were recorded as fast as they could be written down. Among them will be found men and boys of all ages. Many leave at no small sacrifice. Among the old men is found the name of Uncle Jerry Grover. The old gentleman volunteered in the war of 1812 aud was ruled out in consequence of his youth. He announced his intention not to be ruled out for any such cause again.

Tho enrolled members marched out on the square and under the command of Capt. Dresser paraded through the streets to the music of the fife and drum. Occasionally, when halted, a number of the new volunteers sung the words of "John Brown's body lies amouldering in the grave

But his soul is marching on." Another meeting was held in the evening at which enough names were enrolled to complete tho number—200 —called for. Dr. Baker of the T. & W. R. I?., brought down some eighteen employees of .that road—men who will make splendid soldiers. Wo understand that their places will be retained for them until their return and that thoir wages will be continued.

The following dispatch was received b}- Col. Miller last evening, and read to tho meeting, where it was received with most uproarous cheering:

Letter from tbc 15th Indiana.

CAMP

MOORSVILLE,

Alabama,July 7, 1862,,....}.A

EDITOR JOURNAL,

Sir:

undertake to

write a few lines for your paper for this reason, viz: that every paper we pick up has a communication from some regiment, except the 15th—we read of tho doings of tho 9th, 10th, 11th, 21st, 25th, 27th and sundry others from our native State, but the 15th is never mentioned and we know it is not because we do nothing, but must be beeauso we are too modest to blow our own trumpet and others won't blow it for us. So here goes. We are encamped on tho line of the Memphis & Charleston &. R., about six miles from Decatur, and twenty from Iluntsvillo, on a beautiful piece of ground, abounding in good springs, and flanked on three sides by timber which answers all purposes, for rest and recreation in the heat of tho day. Wo are also fortunate in being between two creeks suitable for washing clothes, bathing, and watering stock. Taking everj-thing into consideration it is very seldom a better camping ground is found and hero let me remark, that Col. Wagner is bard to beat in chooseing one.

Our duties at present are very light, consisting of company drill in the cool of the morning and evening, a little picket duty, and some scouting, such as hunting guerrillas, bushwhackers, &c.

The "Fourth,".our glorious national birthdajT, we celebrated in the following manner: A salute of thirteen guns at sunrise at ten o'clock, Wagner's &Garfield:s brigades went into a beautiful, shady grove, and we spent the rest of the day hearing the following programme: Music by tho Brass Band of the 6th Ohio reading the Declaration of Independence, by Lieut. Col. Neff a spirited oration by Col. Blako of the 40th Indiana good sound speech by Gon. Garfield, explaining the cause of the war, the prospect for the future, &c. a Balute of 34 guns at 12 o'clock specch by Col. song, Star Spangled Banner.

There was no quarreling, fighting or drunkeness as is usual at such meetings, but everything went off decently and in order as it should in a well disciplined army.

Asthiscountry is infested by guerrillas who take pride in murdering our men at every opportunity, Col. Wagner ordered mjo to take some men and cross to the south side of the Tennessee river and catch two notorious characters, supposed to be in that neighborhood so I took 15 men of Co. "E" arid 15 of Co. "H", and. proceeded to the mouth of Limestone creek, 6 miles from camp, where wo stationed our headquartersunder cover of the brush, posting one man to watch the river. I threw out pickets guarding against approaches to the river in order to prevent any signaling across. I then mado a search, and by 11 o'clock at night I found three crazy old canoes. In these I sent ten men across the river, under command of Lieut. Smith and Sergeant Graham. They crossed and lay concealed until daylight, when they pounced upon Gen. Gars plantation, and by questioning the negroes, who arc always willing to tell all they know and a little more, they found that the men we wanted were five miles further, at Mr. Thomson's plantation so they informed the negroes that they must havo some horses or mules the negro replied, "Yes sah yes sah! you may take 'em and keep 'em if 3-er want's 'em." They mounted, some on mules and some on horses unfortunately the animals were in rather a dilapidated condition, and the boys being unaccustomed to that kind of exercise, and having no saddles it proved rather a sore job. Nevertheless, they made a swoop on Mr. Thomson's house. Four of them by dismounting reached it before they were discovcVed so sudden was the movemont, and so unexpected, that, using a military phrase, the old lady and family were badly demoralized. But this was all owing to their not being acquainted with our mode of warfare, and knowing nothing about us, but what they have heard from "secesh" sources. They expected nothing elso but that we would kill, destroy, burn, &c., as we went. When they found we were not cannibals, they became quite sociable and agreeable, talked about tho war, asked questions, and so on. Notwithstanding the suddenness of the move, one ot the men we wanted jumped out tho back window and struck for tall timber where it was impossible to find him. The other one wo nabbed.

By talking with farmers and planters I find Uiey are auxious for peace on any terms. They don't care who whips, so peace is made. They begin to feel the blight and curse of war. I cannot blame them for wanting peace, they can get no flour, no coffee, no salt, and everything elso is very highWherover we go the stores are empty, and no way of replenishing them except by permission of our army. The well informed planters tell me they firmly believe•' that after the war is over'ever? thing will be as" it was be

fore it commenced, in a political point of view. The health of the Fifteenth is very good at present the Doctors have comparatively nothing to do. The boys are resting and recruiting after theirarduous duties before Corinth. Lieut. G.

Riley, now in command of our

company, still retains the respect and esteem of his command and brother officers, and of which he is well worth}'.

I cannot close this letter without mentioning our brigade commander, Col. G-. D. Wagner. lie is a strict disciplinarian, tries to do his duty to his command and expects them to do theirs to their country He has the entire confidence of his subordinates. Brave and cool in battle, ana coming down like a thousand of brick on the commissary department when he thinks they are trying to swindle his soldiers. We all think tho "star" ought to replace the "eagle" on his shoulder.

Yours, &c., WM. MARKS, Co. "E" 15th Reg. Ind. Vol.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON,

Signed,

July 17.

A message was received from President Lincoln and read. He says that he has approved of both the confiscation and supplemental resolutions, considering them to be one bill. Before ho was informed of the passage of the resolution, he had prepared the draft of a veto message, which he herewith transmits:

MESSAGE."

Fellow-Citizens of the. Senate and House of Representatives: Concerning the bill for an "act to suppress insurrection, to punish treason and rebellion, to seize arid confiscate the property of rebels, and for other purposes," and the joint resolution explanatory of said act as being substantially one, have approved and signed both. Before I was informed of the passage of the resolution I had prepared a draught, stating objections to the bill becoming a law, a cop}* of which draught is herewith transmitted.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

July 17th, 1862. Fellow-Citizens of the House of Representatives:

I herewith return to your honorable body, in which it originated, tho bill for an act entitled "an act to suppress rebellion, to seize and confiscate the property of rebels, and for other purposes," together with my objections for its becoming a law. There is much in the bill to which I perceive no objection. It is wholly prospective and it touches neither the person or property of any loyal citizen, in which particular it is just and proper. The first and second sections provide for the conviction and punishment of persons who shall beguiity of treason, and the person who shall incite, set on foot, assist or engage in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States, or tho laws thereof, or shall give aid and comfort to any such existing rebellion or insurrection. By a fair construction the persons within those sections are not to be punished without regular trial in duly constituted courts under the forms and all the substantial provisions of law, and of the constitution applicable to thoir several cases. To this I perceive no objection, and especially as such persons would be within the general pardoning power, and also within the special provisions for pardon and amnesty contained in these acts. It also provides that the slaves of persons confiscated under these acts shall be free, think there is rather an unfortunate

I rm

expression rather than a substantial objection to this. It is startling to say that Congress can free a slave within a State, aud yet were it said that the ownership of the slave had first been transferred to the nation, and that Congress had then liberated them, the difficulty would vanish. And thus the real case of treason against the general government, forfeits his slave at least as justly as he does any other property, and he forfeits both to the government against which he offends. The government so far as their can be ownership, owns the forfeited slaves, and the question for Congress in regard to them is, shall they be made free or sold to new masters. I see no objection to Congress deciding in advance that they shall be free. To the high honor of Kentucky I am informed she has been tho owner of some slaves by escheat, and has sold none but liberated all.

I hope the same is true of some other States. Indeed I do not believo it would be physically possible for a general government to return persons so circumstanced to actual slavery. I believe there would be physical resistance to it. In this view of it I have no objection to this feature of the bill.

Another matter in these two sections, and running through other parts of tho act, will be noticed hereafter.

So far as I wish to notice the fifth and sixth sections they may be considered together. That tho enforcement of theso sections would do no injury to. the persons embraced within them isclear. Thatthose who make a causeless war should be made to pay the gpst of it, is too obviously just to be called in quosuOn- To .give government protection to the property G. pot'sons who have abandoned it, and gone on a crusade to .overthrow that same government is absurd if considered in thp mere light of justice. The severest justice is not always the best policy. The principle of seizing and appropriating the property of the persons embraced within these sections, is certainly not very objectionable, but a justly discriminating application of it would be very difficult, and to a great extent impossible. Would it not be well to place the power of remission somewhere so that theso persons may know that they have something to save by desisting. I am not sure whether such power of remission is or is not witfyin

section.thirteen.

Without a special act of'Congress I

think our military commanders when^ in military phrase, they are within tho enemy's country, should in an orderly manner seize and keep whateveiv.of reahbr personal property may be ne&essarjr'pr. coVetiient for their command, but they should.&t the same time preser.v^o in some manner the evidence of what they do.

What I havo said in regard to slaves while commenting on the first and second sections, is applicable to the ninth, with this difference, that no provision is made in the whole act of determining whether a particular individual slave falls within the classes defined in that section. He is to be free upon certain conditions but whether these conditions do or do not pertain to him, no mode of ascertaining is provided.— This could be easily supplied. To the tenth section I make no objection. The oath therein required seems to be proper, and the remainder of the section is substantially identical with a law already existing.

The eleventh section simply assumes to confer discretionary power upon the Executive. Without law, I have no hesitation to go as for in tho direction indicated as I may at any time deem expedient, and I an ready to say now, I think it is proper for our military commanders to employ, as laborers, as many persons of Africa decent as as can be used to advantage.

The twelfth and thirteenth sections are something better. They are unobjectionable. And the fourteenth is entirely proper, if all other parts of tin act-shall stand. That to which I chiefly object pervades most part of thi act, but more distinctly appears in th first, second, seventh and eighth sections. It is the sum of those provisions, which results in the divesting of titles forever. For the crimes of treason and ingredients of treason, but amounting to the full crime, it declares forfeiture and extending beyond the lives of the guilty parties whereas the Constitution of tho United States declares that no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood or forfeiture, except during the lifeof theperson attainted. True, there is to be no formal attainder in this case, still I think the greater punishment cannot be constitutionally inflicted. With great respect, I am constrained to say I think this feature of the act is unconstitutional.- It would not be difficult to modify it. That we may not touch property lying within our reach, because we cannot given personal notice to an owner who is absent endeavoring to destroy the government, is certainly not very satisfactory still, the owner may not bo thus engaged, and I think a reasonable time should be provided for such parties to appear and havo a hearing. Similar provisions are not uncommon i,n connection with proceedings in rem. For the reasons stated, I return the bill to the House in which it originated.

The Navy Department to-day received the following: "Cairo, via Chicago, July 22.—The rebel gnnboat Arkansas, armed with 12 rifled 68-pounders, came out of the Yazoo river on Tuesday. She encountered first the Tyler, Carondolet and the ram Lancaster. After a running fire of 10 miles, the Carondolet closed with the rebel, and both vessels grounded, fighting side by side. The rebel being outside succeeded in getting off. Tho Tyler steamed ahead, maintaining a running fire until the fleet was reached. Our transports being in range prevented an effective fire from our gunboats. The Arkansas succeeded in getting to Vicksburg, under protection of the batteries, to all appcarnccs much injured. The total Union loss is 27 killed and wounded, among whom are the engineer and pilot of the Tyler. Commodore Farragut's entire fleet is below Vicksburg.— Slight damage was done to our vessels. "GEO.
