Tho news of tin's morning from the Potomac, states that our army has again assumed tho offensive. Tho reconnoisancc on the 5th inst., to Malvern Hill under Gen. Hooker proved a complete success. They attacked the enemy, (two infantry regiments and a battery) ard after nn egagement of about threo hours, the rebels ingloriously fled, hotly pursued by our forces.

A battle near Memphis on Sunda}1 lust is also reported between our for ces to tho number of 4,500 and the rebels under Jeff,. Thompson. The rebels were driven back with great loss.

UNION CORE8SIOIVAL CON vESTtoN. It is now but about six weeks until the election, and as: yet thero have been no steps taken to place in the field a candidate foe Congress. Almost every other District in tho "State has its candidates nominated. Wo suggest that it is time for the U^nion men of the Eighth Congressional District to act.— What say the Union papers of tho dis triet to Lafayette as tho place, and Thursdaj', August 28th, as the time?Speak out!

Preparatory to the Convention above mentioned, it is advisable that the people of Montgomery-county should moot together and express their choico for .Representative in Congress. To'this end, wo would suggest Saturday Au

Astounding Developments. From tho report of the United Sates Grand July, for the district of Indiana it appears that'some of the most atrocious and astounding developments were made at.its recent session, in roJation to the traitorous conduct of certain citizcivs of our Stato. Tho report states that after a careful examination ©f the testimony from witnesses Well acquainted with the fjicts, (being members of tho treasonable order,) tho:

Jury:

arc constrained to say that a secret and oath-bound organization exists, numbering some fifteen thousand in tho State of Indiana. That they arc known as* tho Knights of the Golden Circle and that this traitorous organization has an existance in riiany parts of the State.— About two hundred witnesses were sworn and examined by tho Jury, and sixty indictments found and returned. Sixteen of these'were for (reason eighteen for conspiracy to take and possess the property of the United States and thirteen for conspiracy to defeat otthwart tho operation

?of

the law. The

names of those indicted'for.treasbn'iaro as follows: Jesse Eyllei*, Solomon Coker, Nathaniel Ilioks, Theodono Applegate", Noah McCallistpr, ThomasCol6, Andrew Mefford1,' \tm. lifwi)lee,..John Hucst, Adam K. "'Johnson',' .Kichaid -Lambert,. William-: Imkens, Andrew-

300,000 Men by Draft. It will be seen from an official order from the Secretary of War, published, elsewhere in this iss^o, that three hun-! dred thousand more men are to be called inlso the service of the Govern-! ment by Draft. Also, that if the call previously made for the same number, is not speedily responded to, that the deficiency in volunteers .will be filled up in like manner.

Montgomery County in the War. On Monday of tho present week the \Sccond full company from Montgomery county for the 72d Kegiment left Linden, for Lafayette, under command of Capt.

Johnson. This "fills tho bill" for old Montgomery, as far as that regiment is ooncerncd. What county has dono better? But besides furnishing two maximum companies to tho 72d ltcgiment, our county has furnishod SIXTY MEN, under Lieut. Hartman, for tho 18th Battery and fifteen men for a company in tho regiment forming at Indianapolis. Add to thi3 reckoning, tho men who havo onlisted in Companies belonging to adjoining counties and we have the full number of THREE HUNDRED MKN enlisted in Montgomery

county

under tho last call. This number added to tho Eleven Hundred already in tho field, makes Fourteen Hundred men

Montgomery county lius furnished to aid in tho war for the Union. Our fault has mot been in not sending men enough, but in not puffing, blowing and gassing enough -over thoso who have gono. Tho men havo bfcen furnished— the newspaper blow over the fact has boon omitted. This is the head and front of our offending. ,,

TUE WAR MEETIIVC3 OA FRIDAY I«AST. Owing to tho busy season of the year and tho doubtful stato of the weiither, it was hardly to bo expected that the meeting would bo largoly attended wo wore, however, agreoably surprised on roachingtho Cqllego grove, kindly furnished by tho Faculty for tho occasion, to find a very lafgo audionce assembled from all parts of tho country. The meeting was called to order by Gov. Lano, who nominated Dr. Milton Horndon for President, and John M. Butlerfor Secretary. Dr. Horndon, on taking the chair, stated in a few remarks tho object of the mooting, and introduced to the audienco lion. A. S. White. After a fow moments given to reminiscences of tho good old times gono by, the speaker gavo a vivid and thrilling description of tho prcsont condition of our country showing the fearful position that tho nation occupies, and the certainty that it will bo a fatal position unless speedily changed for tho better—deplored party organizations and party spirit at such a timo as this exhorting to a forgetfulness of party affinities until the great rebellion is crushed, and showed by a review of the civil and military appointments made by tho President, that ho has ignored party, and party men. He next advocated a vigorous and earnest prosecution of the war, on war principles, and exposed the delusion of attempting to fight traitors in distinction from the section of country inhabited by them. The,war will last forever if carried on, on peace principles. Why havo 20 millions been kept at bay so long by millions? Tho word conservatism, with all tho infernal meanings it has been mado to bear, is the answer!

The speaker showed that this war is tho war of aristocrats of tho South against laboring whites wherever found, whether North or Soutlv^Ho then briefly reviewed tho important moasurcs adopted during tbo recent session of Congress, and his own position regarding them., ,.

At the close of Mr. Whito's speech, the President introduced Gen. S. F. Caroy, of Ohio, who for over two hours held complete and perfect sway ovor the large audienco, in tho delivery of an earnest, thoroughgoing war speech, eminently calculated to arouse tho patriotism, and awaken tho enthusiasm of his auditors. It Would bo' folly to try to describo his speech everjT one who heard it will carry with him tho remembrance of facts made palpable, which havo hitherto been but vaguely defined, or altogether ignored. Ho first spoko of tho responsibility and the glory of tho prcsont if rightly appreciated and lived up to and then gave a scathing robuke to those who would jeopardize their country for the sake of party. Strango, indeed, is it, that patty issues should bo brought forward, and party organizations pushed onward, now, when the question is not what jwrty.shall administer the government, but shall we have a government at all He wuS in favor of letting slavery take care of itself in this struggle ho would protect tbo slavo property and all other property of loyal men in the South, but would confiscate everything belonging to traitors, oven their "infernal necks!" 'The fact that we are in tho'w ar and must fight it out or perish, is cause enough for us to know, but the real cause"6f the war, as foretold by Gen. Jacikson and other eminent statesmen, is "hostility tb popular government by the aristocracy of the South." The truth of this statement was conclusively shownrefer*

cnccB to tho statements of Southorn statesmen, writors, and politicians, Artd also by the actual form of government now in oxistenco in South Carolina. That hot-bed of soccssion is an aristocracy in form and pot a republic. The speaker next adverted to tho two theories of civilization planted in our government, each of which is striving for the raastory—this war is to determine which shall survive and bo perpetu'atod, and ho earnestly hoped and trusted that the verdict wowld: bo ins favor of popular ^ovornmqnt.teqstairjod by educated labor. now is the rebellion to bo crushod Not by politicians calling conventions and cnacting platforms notby conservatives and sympathizers doing all in their power to foster and incito jtarty animosities not by a certain set of men professing undying loyalty, arraying themselves agaitist tho administration,. and bittorly opposing ovcry measure adopted for the supprossion of rebellion but it can and will bo crushod by a vigorous and earnest prosocution of tlio war—sustained by a patriotic and united people. The spoaker closed with a glowing pieturo of our future as a nation when this great contest is ended. Tho mooting was a good one and litis dono muclr real good in our county. Tho Crawfordsville Brass

Band volunteered their services ajjd added no small amount to tho interest of tho occasion by the soul-stirring music they discoursed.

WAR MEETING AT LITOES. Tho War and Union mooting at Lind6n on last Monday was a splendid affair. ThO occasion of tho meeting was the departuro of Capt. Johnson with his company for camp Tippecanoc. This company had beon recruited from tho townships immediately around Linden, with tho exception of about thirty men from Clark township. But little had boon said about tho mooting in this vicinity, and wo supposed that it would only bo a gathering of a few hundred of the friends of tho volunteers, to bid them good b3'0, and God speed'. But tho meeting oxcccded every anticipation. ^It fras fully equal to'tfny campaign rally of 180b. The whole people were out long before the hour for the organization of tho meeting— hundreds of wagons came pouring into the villago, filled with men and women. .At 10 o'clock tho procession was formed by James H. Stoddard, marshal of tho day, and proceeded to a beautiful grove on th° farm of C. W. White. Six hundred and fifty-two wagons formed in procession, besides horsemen and footmen. Not less than from 4 to 6,000 persons were in attendance. rUpon reaching tho grove, tho meeting was organized, and after prayer by Rev. Galbreath, of the Methodist church, John Lee, Esq., nddrosscd the vast audience. Mr. Loo's speech was patriotic and earnest ho called upon the people .to forget all othor considerations and rally as ono man to tho support of tho Government. Mr. Loo's whole soul is in the causo of his country, and everywhero be is doing nable battle for the Union and tho Constitution.

After Mr. Lec concluded, tho crowd adjourned to dinner. Some three hundred yards of tablo was covered With an abundance of well prepared provisions and dclocacies of overy kind. Wo have never s5eh a finer dinnot upon a public occasion, yet, in Montgomery county. Great credit is duo to the citizens and especially to tho ladies of Madison township in its preparation. After dinner the people were addressed by James Wilson, Esq., after whicl^ with three cheers for tho Union, thre.o cheers for the volunteers and thrqo cheers for the ladies, tho mooting adjourned to tho cars to witness the departure of Capt. Johnson's coiripany. Capt. Johnson, deseryes great praiso for tho energy which ho has displayed in raising Iiis company, and wo say without hesitation, that no finer company has over gono out of tho county to the war. All honor to Capt. Johnson and his bravo volunteers! All honor to Madison township and her noblo ladies.

THE COPPER-HEAD DEMOCRATS. Tho Butternut convention wjiic mot at Indianapolis op Wodnesda last, Jbly SfOth, comuien|eB ffs supplementary platform aB fbllowB:

Resolved: That adhere to tho time-honored principles of' the Democratic party,, lind we believe tho only hope for the restoration of tho Union and tho maintenance of the Constitution is tho restoration of that truly OonsorVativo party to power. tf'

In ^commqnt on this resolution wo, subjafp the following frfem tiwi Cilicin-j nati Gazette... Jt says:

According 10 thts resolution the way to restore tho Union is to return to the status' of tho Denipqratic Administraf tion, when the leading soccssion conspirators woro in control of noarly" evory department of the Government, and woro transferring its arms and moucy to thq Conspiracy, placing its army in tho hatfds of traitors liko Twioos, to be "surrendored1at tho first outbreak, Boattcring its navy in distant seas, that it might bo uttorly defenseless when most of its foreign ministers woro^emissaries of the rebellion, intriguing against their own Government when rebels Were, opiaing thoir arsenals, forts, |CU8tom-hoQse8( postofficps, rovenuo, vessels, and tlio ships of Northern citizens, and tho traitors in tho Cabinet and tho Democratic- leaders in Congress Jiold tho imbeci'lo President in helpless terror, whilo'the country wa's betraj'od, bound hand and foot, into the hands,of a con-, spiracy.

Tho world never saw so monstrous a treason.! And a return to this is the Indiana DemoeMiic' C&nvefttion's iii. fallable and only proscription for saving the Union. In short, it is to place JEFF. DAVIS and his gang in the Administration. There is no way of restoring tho Domocratic party except this. Tho Confederate loaders were tho Democratic leadorsi They ruled: the country while it was ruled by Dcmcratic Administrations. They wore secessionists then as much as now.— Who can remember the timo when JEFF. DAVIS did not.threaten secession?: lie was as much a secessionist: when ho was mado Secretary of War in PIERCE'S Administration as ho is now. What was thero left of the Democrat, ic party in Gon^rcss after the Secessionists left it? Thero is nothing in this BRIGHT Democratic platform that implies any feeperation between this Indiana Democratic Convention and the leaders and bulk of tho Democratic party now in rebellion. But on the contrary, tho platform denounces all who havo earnestly oppose this rebellion: It cannot mean any other way of restoring tho Democratic party to power than by putting tho Confedcr-j ate leaders back in the control of the Government, as they were .under Dem-, ocratio Administrations*

Let not th« patriotic Democrats of Indiana be deceived by tho ambiguous generalities of this platform about restoring tho Union. This Convention has plainly shown its affinity with tho Democratic Confederatcsi Its success moans their restoration to power, and the subjugation of the Freo States.— Thoy cover their conspiracy by deceitful generalities, and.pl^iy on the negro fanaticism in order to carry tho votes of unsuspecting Democrats but with their success tho Stato of Indiana would bo betrayed into the hands of the Confederate leaders, an,d.a, war at homo would bo thoir only way of deliverance. In this platform, and. still less in their spccehos, thero was no earnest denunciation of tho rcbellloa, no 'indignation for its atrociiiesj no sympathy for tho Indiana families which it has bereaved, po rcgr.et f0'r tho thousands of Indiana- sons which it has slaughtered. But thero was ani abundance of hearty malignity for all why arc earnest for putting down tho rebellion/ Thcsp canspirators will be! found sccrotly at work .discouraging tho enlistment of. Democrats, and whilo the patriotic voters of Indiana aro fighting for their country in the field, theso BRIGHT Democrats hopo- to tako advantage of: their absenoo. and! vote Confederate allies .into power to betray the Stato.

WICREIFFE S SPEECH. Is it not a remarkable factjjthat Mr. Wicldiffe should speak ono hour and a half and make no montion qf the who have just been afi'OStcd in then" carcor of plunder in his Stato by the aid of Indiana soldiers?

WHAT TENNESSEE PATRIOTS Tblnk of tlie Indianapolis COp^-rer-Ilead Convention. [From1 tho Maahville Union, lat.)

Wo agree with the Louisville Journal,Ihat if Mr. AVicklifl'o meant that ho was foi pausing in tho war until ho could find out that his views on Slavory aro in no respcct to bo interfered, with by tho war, ho is as good a rebel as any man North or South. The whole tenpr of the resolutions put is factious, bigoted, selfish and seditious. They aro tho words, not of patriots, but of-fico-hunters, who would sacrifice the nation to win the favor of. the rebols.-^ Such infamous conduct meets with bitter and vohement condemnation with all loyal Southern men. Long accus tomod to tho insidious and cunning policy of rebels here, thoy soe vividly through tho mask worn by tho Secessionists of Indianapolis. There is not onq word of hearty loyalty in their whole batch of resolution not one word of sympathy with the Government, not ono declaration in favor of the '-anything but tho restoration of thoir damnable and' traitorous faction to oflico. Wo wore standing with several of tho most distinguished loyalists of the Stato, men whoso names have been tlio watchword of freedom and patriotism during our reign of terror, men who have risked their all—lifo, property, and home for tiio Union, men who opposed Mr. Lincoln's election earnestly, but who now support him as the Commander-in-Chief of tho nrmy of the Union, and ono burst of indignation and scorn aud abhorrcnce issued from their lips as they read tho proceedings. Wc appeal to tho gallant, patriotic State of Indiana to scourge tho traitors from her soil. They are allies of rebellion, and, if encouragcd, will soon be open rebels. Tho Convention of syinpatizers have made themselves a warm placo in tlio hearts of Southorn traitors. Thoy will infer that tho volunteer State of the West is divided, and that she holds an army of traitors in her bosom. Patriots of Indiana, for God and your country's sake, stop this infamous work before it Veducos Indiana to tho condition of Virginia, a field of ruins and anarchy and blood. Toleration is no longer a virtue: to such wretchos. Crush this viper in tho egg. .!

It was agreed on all hands that tho Government could not afford to permit tho rebels to gain the immense moral effect in encouraging, their people, and stimulating them to renewed efforts, which these guerrilla, invasions were certain to givo them. Thoy must on no account be permitted to believe they can invado Northern soil with .impunity. It was believed that no way was so effectual for guarding tho border as an efficient gunboat forco on tho. Ohio river. After a full conference, therefore ,tho,£Tavy Department promised tho committee as many gun boats for service, exclusively on the Ohio river as thoy .wanted.

YORK, July 31?

Tho following order has just been issued from theWiir Department &' I WASUISGTOS, July *31F

The absence of officers and privates from their duty, under various pretexts while receiving pay at great expense and burden to the government, makes it ncccssary that efficient measures, should be taken to enforce their return to duty, or that their placcs be supplied by thoso who will not take pay whilo rendering no-servico. This gvil, moreover, tends greatly to disconrago tho patriotic impulso of thoso who would contribute to support the families of faithful soldiers. It is thereby ordered by Hie President, A 1st. That on Monday, the 11th day of August, all1 leaves of absenco and furloughs, by whomsoever given unless by tho War Department, are revoked, absolutely annulled, and all officers capable of service aro required forthwith to join thoir regiments, under penalty of dismissal from the service, or such penalty as a court martial may award, unless tho absenco bo occasioned by lawftil causo. 2d.
