The Butternut 9|p)ctlfl& H^Th^r ROAOllltlll®*, We were for somlHxu^in 'do'a|ltPWifr tneelpct it the late democratic meeting in our town but a glance at the resolutions adopted by that august boAjnrf enlightened freemen ka&. dispelled-all doub$. It is now as clear sunlight—tbo objeet was tWcnfold—viz: 1st. Opposition to the constituted authorities of th* Q£X£C&mentr -M. Arecommendation of S» C. Will^onfor th£ fj. S» Senate, stapled tith an endorsemeht,of. J. I. Bright. 3d.-AiM lasl,1 though bVno Ineens loast, thfe rcnnpftwirof t^yijjkmqfordniiU jtewiew ^ma^sai «bte and fearless exponent of Democracy." Noble measures for consideration, and most nobly resolved upon by the assembly.
We aro told by the recognized organ of the Degqqracy that S. C. Willson treated the meeting to one of his "characteristic and forcible spctchcs," in wMch "the wrctched imbecility of President Lincoln and tho thieving scoundrel* who surround him, were shown up in a manner that will not soon be forgotten." It may show a very commendable and patriotic spirit, to speak thus of an Administration in which the best hopes, and, in fact, the very life of the nation is centered—one too, which Is passing through an ordeal to which none of its predecessors hare ever been exposed. Such speech may have a tendency to strengthen the confidence of the people in their Government and cause them to love it with a purer and more self-sacri-licing love but we can't see it in that light. In our opinion, Jeff. Davis and his followers have infinitely more reason to applaud such utterances than any true patriot has. But did the candidate have any thing to say about the "wrctched imbecility" of the President immediately preceding Lincoln, and the thifving scoundrels" surrounding him? If be did, the "exponent of Democracy" has failed to notify us of the fact—consequently it would be unrecognized even if he had. Did he animadvert upon the "Stover fraud" and warn tho faithful to profit by the example of "discovered guilt? No, no I He spent his time in showing up the "folly and absurdity of attempting the subjugation" of the rebellion and tho rebellious States, and declaiming against the Emancipation Proclamation as a "violation of the Constitution and an act of usurpation thnt every good cJiiien and truo Union man should protest against." The peculiar fitness of a man avowing such sentiments, for Senatorial honor*, cannot for a uioineut bo dmbtcd.— We are much suipriied thatt(hc,Legialature lViiled to'discover fbr fitness. "Thu speech abounded with facts." Hit! bn ha!!! The first resolution staits out with an attesti/'.M'n of unchanged end unchangeable lovaltv at the same time reset ving tho right to sit in judgment irj'on the constitutionality and legality of all requirements, and protesting against paid emancipation and the use of negroes in our amy.
In other words, it promises loyalty if all things are done in perfect accordance with the democratic theory. Tha second resolution strikes the rebellion a light blow—in order with greater effect to throw the whole forco of its venom against our own Government. We have no doubt Jeff. Davis
Jt Co. would glory in that resolution. The thivd resolution knocks the projected North-
havo placed themselves on the record against it consequently, it can't be done. The fourth resolve only reiterates the howl about "arbitrary arrests," which has been the staple of democratic talk for months. The last line of the seventh rcsclutiou was, we presume, ituh'cued for tho purpose of giving Iho covert threat of home rovoiulio:: greater significant. If that is to bo thf game, let it come. If our Gove.-nment goes down in infamy and blood, history will tell the causo of its downfall in two words Slavery and Democracy. The one, determined to rule or ruin in tho Smith and the other, equally determined, to rule or ruin in the North. "Tho othor resolutions are mainly devoted to the threo prime objects of the meeting mentioned nbovo. They will be found elsewhere in to-day's Jonr lal—read them.
& j?S*"iTho Union meeting at Alamo, on Tuesday of this week, and wnich was addressed by James Wilson, Esq., we understand was largely attended and tho right spirit was manifested by the Union mon of'Ripley township, in their determination to stand by the Government and tho Union at all barard3.
Wo hope eftch and every township in tho county will go to work at once, and thoroughly organize. Tb« times demand, that every true patriot "should know hi rights, and knowing, dare maintain."
TBS" Tho "Trilje of Butternuts".in this vicinity, are terribly exercised just at.this time in regard to the conduct of the Union members of the State Legislature. All that the Union members ask is. a pledge that.democrats will stand by the Government,. jihd favor a vigorous prosecution of the war. This ^ie democrats refuse to do, and we presume until $ome such pledge is given, that no election f6r'U.^. Senators will take place. ^N. From telegraphic'news of this morning, we notiwthat the election for U'.S. Senators passed off yesterday. Hendricks and TUrpie were chosen. Tbe latter for-the short term.

Our neighbor of tho Review,appears groatly exerciscd—fierce—in his last issue and-partic-nlarly eo in his attack on the Hon. James Wilson. The why's and wherefore's, of this, will be easily seen through, when, wo inform, the. public that the Butterant convention which mct in this city an the Sdtinst., by resolution, endorsed the Review "as an%*«blc and fearless exponent of democracy."— And' fur'tlier on motion of Hon. S.

In this block-house I placed company H, of the 25th Indiana, with a sufficient amount of ammunition and bread to last them a siege of at ler-st fortyeight hours. Our work here was completed about dark Saturday evening, when with one half of my command I erected" an earthwork aroutid the base of a mound, distant from the bridge over Wolf river about three hundred and fifty yards, and in such a direction as to cover the approach to, and with the aid of the block-house, afford us a crossfire on the bridge. Our- circle was completed and sufficiently strong for an ordinary engagoment-by 11 P. M. tho same night, and was then, with a sufficient amount of ammunition, taken possession of by those of my men who had been up to that hour resting in camp.
At four o'clock the following morning, (Sunday the 21st,) all were in position prepared for an attack, but the enemy failing to make his appearance wo continued our labor on the earth-work and were in this manner occupied until about n,oon.
A few minutes after 12 M. my pickets were driven in, and information was received to the effect that the enemy (variously cjtiwated at from five to ten thousand) was approaching from the south. The infantry were at once ordered into and took the positions assigned them, that of companies A, F, D, I and C, of the 25th Indiana, being in tho fort or earth-work, and the cavalry (dismounted) were divided, and a part under the command of Capt. Henry, Co. M, sent to the earth-work another division to tho block-house as a reinforcement, and a third party under Lieut.

For a time their ardor appeared to have diminished, but their numbers being largely increased an effort was made to force a passage over the bridge and for this purpose their forces were massed and a desperate attempt made to secure a footing on our side, but after a most obstinate attempt on their part and an equally determined resistance on onrs for some minutes duration, they were compelled to fall back with considerable loss. During this time their forces had been

the approach to the river about one-fourth of a mile from and to the west of our position. This disposition of my forces had scarcely been completed, when tlio rebels (as infantry and in large
-force) made their appearance, formed their line for
a
eharge and came rapidly forward with a loud
gradually
and rnpidly augmenting, and their line extended from and even beyond the railroad on their left to a distance of three or four hundred yards to tho right, from which they poured upon us an almost continuous shower of leaden hail. Efforts were also made at several points to effect a crossing over the river, but these were unsuccessful. In a short time, indications of a second attempt to cross the bridge were apparent, and doep masses, with ban ners flying, urged on by their officers, advanced, only to be again driven back in confusion and dismay. The firing was by this time very heavy along their whole line and concentrated upon our little earth-work and block-house hot nothing daunted and now firm in. the belief that wo could hold them at bay, my gallant little band poured in upon them volley after tolley in rapid succession. t'r-'.'
Soon a third and similar attempt to cross was made, but met with a like defeat. A few of them, however, succeeded in crossing, but these hastily took refuge under tho bridge.
After, a most incessant firing- of three and a half hours duration the enemy withdrew, leaving a part of their dead and such of the wounded as they wore unable to carry off tho field, in our hands.— Those who had shielded themselves tinder the bridge, hot being able to make their escape with the main force, exhibited the usual token of sur render, and were ordered to, and took shelter within our works. Several attempts were made to fire the trestle work by means' Of cotton balls' saturated with turpentine.- The flro from the block-house was poured upon "them with such excellent precision and rapidity,- that 'they were compelled to abandon the enterprise. ^Sonic few shielded themselves f¥6m the fire by means of the trestle*work and when the retreat was ordered, were unable to get out of their position.without great danger, abd very wisely hoietcd the white fla.g and.presented themselves as prisoners.
ShoVtly after tho retreat the bearer of a flag of tftice appeared with a verbal message-from the Gec-eral commanding, desiring to know'-if a surrender on our part was-in contemplation or ha! been decided upon. A respectful hut decided negative was returned in reply.

Morton's message to the General Assembly of Indiana, as wo conceive to be of most interest to our readers namely: "The number of Indiana troops in tho field care of the sick and wounded war expenses, &c., &c:
NUMBER OF TR00P9."K
The following statement will show as near as the data in the Adjutant Genefal's office will enable me, the number of troops Indiana has furnished the United States in the prosecution of this war:
Under the call for 7!,000, April, 1861. 6 regiments of Infantry—3 months' service. Under the call for 500,OOQ, July, 1861. 2 regiments of Infantry—12 months' service. 47 3 years' 4 companies 3 .' 3 regimants of Cavalry—3 18 batteries of Artillery—3
Under the call* of July, 1862,
1 regiment of Infantry—12 months' scrvico. 50 3 years' 6 companies 3 2 regiments "... 3 months' ." 1 regiment 30 days' 1 regiment 60 2 reg'ts Indiana Legion—3 months' 2 of Cavalry—3 years' 9 batteries of Artillery—3 In all 98 regiments of Infantry and Cavalry and 27 batteries of Artillery, and comprising ninetyfive thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven officers andmon.
To this number are to be added 6,831 recruits, wlio joined old regiments and batteries in the field, making in all 102,698 men. The above does not embrace all who are enrolled, or who left tho State and joined regiments and batteries in other States, but only such as were actually mustered into the service in the State of Indiana.
The number drafted jvas 3,003. i,, CARS OF THE SICK AND WGtfNDED. Shortly after the war began, it became apparent that our sick-and wounded soldiers, when all had been done for them that could be, by regimental and hospital surgeons, under the regulations, must, in very many cases, suffer greatly from want of attention ai}dnecessary supplies. Accordingly, I verv early adopted the plan of sending agents to look after the condition, and, as far its possible, supply the wants of the Indiana troops. These
»i i- acnt* had their instructions to follow in the track
up th# gick and woundcd
wh" may have fallen by the wayside, visit the' hospitals, rep'oTt tbo names of the sick, wounded and dead, ufford relief wherever it could be afforded, inform the State authorities what kind of supplies were needed and where, visit the troops in the field and ascertain their wants and condition. and aid in having their requisitions for supplies promptly filled. These agents have generally performed their duty well, aud, I bulievo, have bceu the instrument of saving the lives of hundreds of our gallant soldiers, aud of relieving avast amount of suffering and destitution.
I have employed and sent to the field many additional assistant surgeons, to remain until the emergency they were sent to relieve had passed.— After severe battles, the regimental surgeons, worn down by fatigue and exposure, were found to be inadequate to the care of the wounded, and
additional aid be ame indispensable. Many times all the surgeons of a regiment were cither sick or absent on dotached duty, and' their
places had to be supplied by temporary appoint mcuts. They have generally discharged their duty with ability, and to the satisfaction of those to whom they were sent, and, for tho promtitudo with which they left their business and responded to these sudden calls, are entitled to tho thanks of the State.
After the battle of Shiloh, and in anticipation of the conflict to come off at Corinth, I applied to the Secretary of War for permission^ to appoint two additional assistant surgeons to each regiment in the grand army of Major General Hallcck. The permission was granted, under which I sent about seventy surgeons to the army, and I am-gratified to believe that this movement led to the amendment of the law by which athird surgeon was addad to oaeh regiment—a measure grcatly needed. have also established, at Washington, Louisville. STashvifle, Memphis, Cairo, and Columbus, Kentucky, permenant agents, who have rented houses and keep public offices, where sanitary goods aro deposited for distribution, and to which soldiers' can resort for relief. These agencies n-re found to work well and aro accomplishing a great deal of good. Permanent agents have bocn employed at Philadelphia, St. Louis, Keokuk, and. New York, for the relief of "such Indiana soldiersas may be carried to those points# «v-,v

Resolved, 2d. Thut while we regard the present as a wicked & unnatural rebellion, and the doctrine of Secession as a heresy destructive of both the Constitution and Government, we at the same time..look upon the teachings and tendencies Of the radical Abolitionists of the North as equally destructive of the.Conbtitution, and if carried,into effect will utterljr subvert and de&troy the Government of our fathers.
MesolVecl, 3d. That we are in .favor of the Constitution as it is, and the .Union as it was.
Resolved, 4th. That we are unalterable opposed to all violations of the constitutional rights of our people by unwarranted arbitrary arrests, & punishments without due process of law.
Resolved, 5th. That we believe that the Constitution wae made to meet every emergency, and is, therefore, applicable in times of revolution, and insurrection or rebellion as in times of peace, and that if we cannot put down the present insurrection or rebellion by the authority of and under the Constitution, that we cannot do it by disobeying and trampling under our fuel its sacred provisions?.
~r-
Resolved, 6th. 'Jhat we sympathise andcondolowith our friends and.neighbors whose hearthstones have been made desolate by the ravages and chances of war.
Resolved, 7th. That we are proud of the martial bearing and heroic courage displayed by our brave soldiers in the field, and that we believe that they went forth to fight in this struggle to sustain the Constitution and laws and restore the Government, and for no other purpose.
Resolved further, That we deplore war as one of the most serious calamitis that can befall any people, and more especially tho intesiine war now raging in our midst by men who are and ought to act as brothers and that wo are in favor of that policy that will stop (if possible) the further effusion of blood and restore an honorable peace to the country.
Resolved, That we recommend the Hon Samuel C. Willson as a fit person to represent the State of Indiana in the United States Senate, to lii 1 the vacancy occasioned bjr its unwarrantable expulsion of the Hon. Jesse D. Bright.
Resolved, That we are opposed to ami utterly condemn the recent Proclamation of the President of the United States in regard to the emancipation of the slaves? of the South.
Resolved,Thai we recognize th Craicfordsville Review as an able and fearless exponent of Democracy that for the last twenty-five years it has combated with unwavering fidelity for the teachings of JeflFerson, and. that cv.ery Democrat and^conservativc man in thccount}r ft hr^eby appointed an active and zeaions agent to extend its circulation.
