THE E AG EE. A. J. HILL, :::::::: EDITOR. MOATUR, INDIANA. Thursday morning, a PR. io, isoa mt— — ’’—“ • DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET. FOR SECRETARY OF STATE, JAMES S. ATHON, of Marion. FOR TREASURER OF STATF, MATTHEW L. BRETT, of Daviess. FOR AI’PITOR OF STATE, JOSEPH B’SIINE, of Fountain. FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL, OSCAR B. HORD, of Decatur. FOR St PERINTENDENT OF I'l liLIC INSTRUCTION, MiLTON 15. HOPKINS, of Clinton. The Latest News. Our daily express having failed for several days we are without later papers than Monday, but from private sources gather the following important news: At Island No 10. two gun boats succeeded in running the blockade, and reached New Madrid in safety. They imtnedi ateiy conveyed a large body of troops across the river, of Gen. Pope's command when the rebels evacuated their works in the neighborhood of island No. 10, leaving all their cannon, stores, gunboats, and transports, together with the famous iron ram Manassas in our possession, Whether they succeeded in sinking or destroying their fleet we are unable to say. And so far but few prisoners are reported captured. It is also rumored that a tremendous battle has been fought by the Tennessee forces under Gen. Grant, in which the rebels were defeated—no particulars. A fight is nlso reported in progress at Yorktown. Va., by our forces under Gen eral Me. Clellan. If this be true, warm work may be expected in Virginia unless the rebels intend to let all go by ti e board as the move is undoubtedly intended as a flank attack on Richmond, for the purpose of causing the rebels to evacuate their strong works on the Rapidan and Rappahannock rivers From tiielttb, Regiment. Mr. David Crabs who returned from a visit to New Madrid and Riddles Pom’, which latter place he left on the 3.)1n ult., furnishes us with liie following inci dents relative to the health ul the 47th, and of the operations of our forces in that vicinity, The 47th, left C imp Sulliv.ui 96U strong, and until its assignment io General Pope’s command, our readers are familiar with its movements. From the h time the regiment le't Point Commerce until the present, the 47ih has been in ■ the advance, and although hardly men tioned in the siege of New Madrid, with I the other regiments of Col. Slack’s Brigade were in the advance, and held the: left wing of our intrenchments throughout the entire bombardment. And when the rebels evacuated they were under orders to storm the enemy’s works, in the morning, but were saved the necessity by the evacuation of the place by the rebels.— As it was the 471 h were the first to enter their works. Immediately after the evacuation — the 16th ult.— they received marching orders—marching all nght through mud water and sw imps, at sunrise halted and lay in the woods during the day, and at night again resumed their march to their present position, Riddles’ Point, threw up works to protect their only gun a twenty four pounder, nn 1 dug rifle pits along the bank to protect the men. At day break two rebel gunboats made their appearance soon followed by four others. • They turned broadside and opened fire, generally overshooting, the b ills cutting off the tree tops, and falling far in the rear. Occasionally a shell would strike on the batik and <xplode burrving the men in the pits which they had dug. but strange lossy none were injured. In the mean time the 24 pounder was playing into the gunboats, doing great ex-cution Alter continuing ttie bombardment for some time the rebel boats commenced moving up, as if to land. On getting within rifle range Cel Robinson ordered the hots to give them a volley, which they did with fatal effect, on their crowded decks. Discouraged with such an o-bstinate reception the rebels fell out of range and have since kept at a respectful distance. The repuhe of the gunboats is due to the gallant conduct of the 47. h, as the artillerists had called for spikes to spike their gun. when our boys made the river bank to warm a place for them to land. That they have seen service, and hard service, their present strength, less than 4GO fit for duty is sufHcie.it testimony.— So far but few have died. In the company which left D.-catur Win. Ruby is the last death which has occurred, ma-

king, we believe, four in the company that have died since the company left.— Quite a number are sick, nmong them J. Kern, S. Snvder, and J. Woodward — J. Kern, being in a critical condition, and J ° - not expected to recover. The Hospital I seems to be poorly provided, the sick lying in an old school house and in tents, f lying on the damp ground with their j knapsacks for a pillow, and their blankets for a bed, with no provision except army rations for their nourishment, and but little attention seemingly paid them by the surgeons, there is little chance for their sanitary condition changing lor the better | soon. Os the other regiments of the Brigade o.ir informant is not so well posted, but it was his impression there was considerable 1 sickness, but the 47th suffered most. I It seems that better Hospital accommodations might be secured, or that arrangements for removing the sick to a place where there would be some prospect f>r their recovery might be made, instead of so much needless suffering ns the differ- | ent regiments alcng the Mississippi are called upon to endure. As this place the regiment has been stationed since the gunboat attack, with ; nothing to relieve the monotony of camp : i liie. but the fl ishes of the guns at Island I I

No. 10. which can be plainly seen ten m'les distant, followed by their sullen roar, and keeping a vigilen*. eye upon the rebel transports lying nearly opposite but out of range of our guns. While at i New M idrid, James Middleton while standing guard was mistaken for a lebel, and fired upon, the hall passing between the bones of his leg below the km», and now lies imbedded in the flesh. He gave ,it but little attention, thinking it unless . to go to the Hospital, and is stiilun duty. The 47th has been peculiarly fortunate in its field officers, Col. Slack being considered a host himself. Lieutenant Col I Robinson is also highly esteemed. His conduct at the gunboat fight was commendable. M ijor Mickle is also a favorite with the boys, but for some lime he has been unfit for duty; aho Capt. Dent, both of whom are expected home in a few days. XJTJ'ff. D avis has appointed a f ull set of officers for the territory of Arizo- j uia. The Vanwerl, Ohio Weekly Bulletin, has changed bands, Mr. Encell, after a short administration retiring, and Mr. A. C. Tucker Irking I is place. The rebel iron clad steamer Merrimac is reported al Norfolk coaling for another expedition. She has now mouned two guns of larger caliber than she carried before. The New Yoik World says the rebels have been outflanked at Corinth, and that a heavy body of Federal* is between them and Memphis, and not far from the Mississippi. The Memphis Appeal of the 221 ult., quotes fl mr at 822 per barrel. gf~We are without the official returns of the primary election as we go to press, but enough townships have been heard from to give the names, of the successful

Geiinineuess oi the Union Sentiment in Eastern Florida. A correspondent of theN. Y. Times gives nn interesting account of the Union meeting at Jacksonville, Fla., the spirited resolutions of which we have already pub lished. The writer says: About one hundred men were present said to be nea ly ail the men left in the town The first words spoken were by Mr. Frazer: "Fellow citizens, we are met here as loyal citizens o the United States ;of America. 1 take it that no one is here who is not prepared to acknowledge his allegiance to the Union.” He spoke ear nestly. but only a few words. Mr. C. E i Robinson was called to the chair, and his speed) also was short, but lull of meaning. These men felt that they were taking their lives in their hands, in thus openly avowing Union sentiments for tho first time in Florida for more than a year . But there was uo mincing matters. The whole tone of the meeting was determined, but not enthusiastic, The matter was too serious, but the unanimity was . un i.istakable. The resolutions and pro lest, which I append, were indorsed in \ the heartiest manner, and the meeting ad journed. to resume its movements in two or three days. On the ssrne day Gen. Sherman issued , i this proclamation to the people of East Florida. There was no sort of collusion, ( there was no attempt made to influence j , these people. Gen. Sherman declined to be present nt the meeting, he nid not know what would be said or done before- j hand; he did not issue his proclamation f until the resolutions were sent to him and 5

alter the meeting he made certain of the willingness of the people to stand firm in their allegiance. Il was not attempted to induce the Floridians to return to the Uuon; the movement originated in them- , selves and forced a response from the commanding General. Alter this he gave orders which will secure them safety, vnd probabh lead to a spread of the sentiment so eagei ly avowed. The citizens manifested the greatest satisfaction; invited the National officers to their houses and tables, introduced them to their families; the women and children turned out in the streets ft evening parade, and every person who meta Union officer accosted him c rdially. They seemed never tired of i ndeavor to convince the Natio als that their loyalty was real. They insisted that the Union sentiment is shared by thousands of others; that many of the rebel troops are ready to desert; and. indeed, on one day that I was in Jacksonville a halt a score came in from a neighboring camp, and took the oath of allegiance.— I’he triangle formed by Fernandina B aid win and J acksonvdle, is sa'd to he especially full o’ 1 aval people. The wh le popula' on is represented to be suffering, and at least halt of it anxious to beielieved from the le ults of the rebellion. Al Ft. Augustine nearly the entire pi I ulati> n i-mained in their homes, and the Mayor o. the place raised the A meric.u 11 -g once more. National troops are stationed there, so that in the southernmost Plate ol the entire Union, the loyal s« niinn ul is found to exist in all its purity and tervoi. It is even said that a company ol troops could readily be raisid in J acksonville to tight for the Stars and Stripes. I’ariy Proscription. We have n ver complained of the Repub ieans for taking to themselves the official patronage we have deaounced the hypocrisy which* under the pretense of no part y ism seeks to delude Democrats into union with Republicans, but takes care to appropriate all the spoils. The, Nw Ymk Atlas has investigated the affairs ol ’he New Ymk Custom House, ami ' learns the following facts,: Out ol the two hundred and twenty ' seven out door officers-inspector*. weigh-

ers, gaugers and measurers—all butt wen ty seven have been removed by Barney, which is a much larger proportn n than was ever before removed bv any colleetor and yet Mr Barney lias fallen far short of giving satisfaction to his party. The prnportion ol inside clerks proscribed is not known t x telly, but it ! s supposed to equal if not < xceed the ratio of beheaded in specters. Wendell Phillips and the Mob. "‘The t'incinnatti Gazette is very indignant because Wendell Phillips was driven from the stage while attempting to lecture in that city on Monday night. “We think that it would have been much better for those who regarded the teachings ol Mr, Phillips as pestilent to slay at home. Still we trust that his ex pulsion from the Cincinnatti Opera house by a public assembly was prompted by a patriotic regard for the Union. At the very commencement of his discoure, he declared himself, in direct terms, a Disunionist; and the popular indignation thereat was natural and certainly far from discreditable. If a Southern fire-eater were , I to attempt., in a public place, to proclaim disunion sentiments to the people of Cincinnati, we have no doubt that the Gazette itself, zealous as it may he in behalf of Wendell Phillips’liberty of speech, would be disposed to pardon the driving of the offensive intruder from the stand by missiles equally offensive. And why should I a disunion traitor from one section enjoy i n ore immunity in a loyal city than a disI union traitor from another section? And lif anv distinction is to be made against the Northern disunion traitor rather than in his favor?’ A large amount ot property abandoned • by the rebels at Manassas has been burs(ned, including wagons and other articles considered cutnbe ous.

: —.. .. ■ ■■■ - ——ii ■ Important from New Madrid-The Ca ! rondolet Runs the Blockade at Island No. 10— Progress ot the Siege. Sr. Louis, April s.—The correspondent of the Republican writing from Flagship Benton, on the evening of the 3d ■ says: "Early this morning, an attempt was made to tow the rebel floating battery I to a point where it could command our I mortar boats. A brisk fire was opened bv the mortars, and in course of half an hour, the battery was struck several times splinters being thrown in all directions, and severe) beams displaced. "One shell exploded directly inside the battery, when it was immediately submerged to the water’s edge and lowed out of range. „The rebel steamer Winchester, which ■ was sunk sometime since to obstruct the! channel north of the island, used by the i rebels as a point from which to watch our movements, was shell'd to day and bui ned ; to the wfter’s edge. "Skillful firing to dav, made the enemy very cautious, and ail their tents have been moved far out of range.” Advices from New M idrid confirm the previous reports of the erection of rebel batteries opposite that point. All quiet there. The river faPing rapid!,, and troops; can soon be landed at any point along the banks here. On Board IT. S. Gunboat Carondolet, New Madrid April s—At5 —At last the blockade is passed. The gauntlet is run, and the navigation of the Mississippi proved possible, in spite <f the rebel guns aad rebel fortifications.

The United States gunboat Carondoh-t, Capt. H. Walker, arrived this morning at one o'clock having passed the fortification at Island No 10, and the batteries upon the main land opposite, and now lies safely mored to the shore, under the guns of the upper fort at New Madrid. The Carondolet left the fleet last evening at ten o’clock, during a terrific thunderstorm, and having taken a barge in low laden with hay and coal, to serve as a protection from the enemy’s balls, extinguished her lights, pul steam, and rapidly sailed down the river The first intimation the rebels hud ol the attempt to run the blocade was the fire which issued from the burning chimney of the gunboat, and immediately thereafter it was greeted with a shower of balls from the 1 infantry stationed at the upper battery, | the same which was so effi-ctually spiked . a few days since by Col. Roberts. A signal rocket was then sent up, and ; in an instant the entire line of batteries! were a Id-ze of fl iiue. Four batteries on ■ the Kentucky shore and one on the point i of the island filed in quick succession, but the c .rondolet passed them all in safety, und, unmindful of the leaden and iron hail winch fell around, passed doan through the fiery ordeal unhurt; not a man was injured, and excepting a few musket balls 1 which struck the iron plated sides of the I gunboat, she was untouched. i The 11 citing batlely is located three miles below the Island, and bestowed a parting shower of blazing compliments as ’ ihe ('..rondolet glided quietly by. The ! Hollins i .on Manassas did not open fire. The officers and men acquitted themselves with admirable courage and fidelity. Owing to the intense darkness, the officers could not make any extensive and satisfactory reconnoissance of the batteries, but the enemy probably did his best ' The site was trem-ndous. Mr. O T. Fishback, of the Missouri Democrat, was on the Corondolet while running the blockade, and to him we are i indebted for the above particulars - Corruption in the Land Office. The Secretary of the interior, upon re

port of the Commissioner of the Land Office, has removed the Land Officer oi California, for enriching himself by charg ing largely for administering the oath of loyally to pre emptors and other owners of public lands. Slid officers have no right to take fees, except as prescribed by law or regulation, and the duty in question is not recognized as one entitling a land officer to fees. The Emperor of the French presented fonr picked rams, from the Royal flock at R imbouillet, to the King of the Sandwich Islands. Mrs, Partington is very anxious to know why they were picked, when shearing would have been a vast deal belter. That truculent person, Peter Cartwright, in a recent speech to some Illinois cavalry said—“We will fight the rebels to the death, if for no other reason than for breaking up the democratic parly at the Charleston and Baltimore Conventions.’ I nion Sentiment in Virginia—Th* Rebeh on the Rappahannock* Washingt 'H, March 4 —The Steamer I Cceui de Lion arrived here late last night from the Lower Potomac, and reports that visits to over one hundred families disclosed a strong Union sentiment in Nor tl.umberlaud and Westmoreland counties Virginia, and this would be openly manifested by the people there could they be assured of Federal Protection. It was also ascertained that much dissatisfaction exists > mong the rebels, and that many ot them would gladly make their escape. Fort Lowry, on the Rappahannock, I mounting 12 guns, is represented as having been abandoned. A boat’s crew from the Cueur de Lion recently burnt the rebel schooner Union i in Yucbcomico Creek, not being able tc fl >at her out.
