They are even more fierce and i biltt r than ever. The prospect of startling rebi Ilion does not seem very cheering. The summers of the South come round too quick. Men that could march ns Jackson’s army I did into Miiayland, without a commissarit and eating green con. for rations, plucked from the fields (or each cay s use, are not likely to starve on corn-meal and green herbs. Already early gardrn> crops are coming into Southern, markets. We don’t object to a fair share of starvation as a pai t of military necessity, but we confess to not a little shame when we hear men taking it for granted that the North is playing a trencher game, and does by knife nod lork which it cannot d« wish th* sword.

—j!... , Y „ —_—. ■ .r r ’ I Reply o, XFon. Joseph K. to . Gen, Iliisc’lrts Public Letter Ad.tres*I ed to Him in the lu<lbiii<ip>>:is Journal Nmy York, May 12, 18‘33 S;r: I have real in the Evening Ex- ■ press of this t-iiy of Saturday l.ig/ynnr pitblic letter a-ldre.s. ed to me under datei of sth in’st, through the Indianapolis Jour ma; in reply to my private letter to you | of the second of May, hist, asking exp’.a---i nation of your Order No. 9, of the 25th I 1 oitr letter which you seem to intend ,as an explanatory Supplement t> Order No. 9. H siffiileloiitly explicit, I think,’ to ’ enable ffny intelligent citizen of Indiana to understand that Free lorn of speech and of the press, so far at least as relates to the war policy and measures of .the present Federal Administration, are to the extent of ‘the fore , placed at your disposal’ to be suppressed in Indiana. ’ In thus drawing yott to a clear deflini- ; (ion of your object in Order No 9,1 have accomplished the main purpose of my letter to you, bnt I much regret that I I have neither time nor opportunity to I comment as I would like to do, and as it I deserves on your extraordinary communication. In pursuance of a plan formed | some months ago 1 am npyy here on my way to Boston to take the steamer of the I 13th inst, for Liverpool, intending to I spend the summer in Europe. I can therefore do no more at present than to ' very generaly notice your letter. My first impulse on reading your letter was to postpone my intended journey ' and return to Indiana to await the sequel of the new regime, of military Oespotism uniter which you have placed the State and it is not without a feeling"of tegret that I shall continue mv journev east- : ward. When Uonstitntional GoVernj me’nt is to be defended in Indiana against yourself, or any other person or power i who may assail it, yon may consider me ; among the number of its defenders. But ; ' I am free to say I have no fear in leav- ■ Ing yourself and your order No. 9 in the j peeping of the people of Indiana. You., have voluntarily made a record that will ■enable them to fully understand both you : and your order. The National DemocI racy of Indiana will meet in Convention ( ' at Indianapolis on the 29th of May to counsel together for the public good.— '(They will hove your order before them and I have no doubt they will deal with .■it as becomes the rights and dignity of . freemen, determined to maintain in their j integrity the Cons’.itution of the United States and of Indiana : I IThatever may be my opinion .of the ■ boldness of the p osition you have taken II cannot commend its vvisdom and it s-r-ms to me Ltrangely inconsistent with : the desire p; oi'essed in vour Order No. 9 .. to restore harmony and goo 1 feeling iu the State. As yo t have done me the hon, 'or to confer with me, my advice to you i is that you recede as so ui and as gracefullv as you cm’ from the arbitrary pnr- , pose you have indicated There will be no danger of a serious disturbance of the peace in Indian :, so long as no attempt is mi le by yourself or any oT.er person in the State to invade constitutional rights. \\ hen they are invaded they will be defend ”! peaceably if they can be, and forcibly if necessary. Order No. 9 as interpreted by you wi 1 not be respected or obeyed by the people of Indiana. Thev have their rigulitil i governor, no Legislator. In liana is not ■ a proviqce tuw a territory but a State, a , t free sovereign State of the Federal I mon ■ —one of theTmted Stales of America. It is not in rebellion nor in a State of war nor disloyal. It has a Constitution and t laws ofits-ow.il all according to the Cont stitation of the United States. It has a ■ 1 eonstitiifion:’.! Government and Legblature and Jti'liciary to whom belongs of ( right the conduct and control of civ :l .at- • faTrsof th3 State —the making, adminis- ■ tering and execution of its laws, and the 11 conservation of the political rignts of its I citizens. The whole machinery of civil I government in Indiana, is readv to work and will work in harmony with the eon- ' stitntional government of the United States if you will let the machinery alone ’ atid recognize the fact that the military 1 . should be subordinate to the civil power Among the civil rights oftbe people of Indiana, are the rights of free speech, a free press and free courts. These lights :' are dear and estimable to freemen—formidable to tyrants only. The people of Indiana have done nothing to forfeit these rights. They cannot forfeit them for thev are inherent and inalienable. They 'cannot with safety,pgrinit. them to be violated in the person of one of the hvmib. lest citizens of the State. A our order No 19, therefore, which palpably assumes an Authoritv in vonrself as military governor .of Indiana to abrogate or suspend the ■ Constitutional rights of free speech and a free press in Indiana, cannot stand the o'rdeaf of discitssioir jndicia! fnvhsti.gntion or attempted execution. The merest tyro in the knowledge of constitutional law fcnows this The people of Indiana ar e

( > | nut.sbiyes—tlmy are freemen. They will ' read and think—they will assemble and 1 x nuke an 1 hear.spoych-a; they wlihfi'ecly i dLscu.ss public aff.urs and .freely ra>uve ■ and vot ■ upon and they will or'igauizq po’itical parties some opposed to '..■-■jme favoring the Admiub>Lralio|i an I '. you eannot prevent it. It is the consti-' i tution.d nature of the people of Indiana ■ to do these things as nmeh as it was the i j nature of the sea to roll in ils tide , upon the beach vyhere Gauute s.oo l valid y I commanding the waves to rollback. — And the man who spends If s time in is ’ string prochm.itfons to the American pen ' i pic to stop’fFeethinking*:fnd free talking: i and free printing and fret} holding of ; public meOtingt and free voting mid : dd other like thing vv hiclt > are wofit to do and can't help doing might i ’ as well spend his time in having the moon ; or beatiiig the air. It is not in the power of t’.fe’Federd - Administration of which yon are an olii- ’ cer, nor in the power of the political p.tr- ! ty of which you are an instrument to j > subvert freedom of speech and ot the 1 press in Indiana or clswhere in the Uni- - led States. You liiay ’attack it anl tem-i I porarily 'abridge Or trammel it, but you ‘ cannot subvert it. On the' contrary if yott and the Administration and the par- . 1 , ty you serve persist in your attacks.upon i them free speech and a free’press will. > 'certainly in the end subvert yon. You , may arrest and try by court-martial and ■ : sentence to death imprisoument ar banishment, public speakers oi'others who ' . actively oppose the war policy of the Gov ; i ernmeat as defined by yon, but by mid 1 by even the deluded people who‘may now approve atid applaud ycnr despotic l - acts, wiil awake as from the sleep of a 1 ■ . morbid brain, and look back in memory upon these <lays of national madness and humiliation as upon a horrid vision.— “ Then will come an overwhelming Jemd'nstrafioh of the public will re-enthroning ■ law and constitutional right and order in t their majesty. Then will come the day ; o; justice and retribution, and it may be I. that kidnapping, imprisonment and innri der done by military men under usurped 1 -; and void authority may be forced to bear i ’. the penalties ot the law upon kidnapping ' ' murder and false imprisonment and their • kindred' crimes. It is perhaps v, ell for i the men now so zealous to put their heels 1 upon ‘copperheads and traitors,’ as they 1 I glibly call Northern Democrats who will not ignore their manhood and constitu- - tionaT rights, to bear in mind that justice I though sometini.es slow is generally sure \ . and that it may at no distant dav be in the power ot' men now traduced and op-1 . pressed ami persecuted, to administer the ; Government in all its fdnetions and to dis-. pense justice according to Constitution and laws., ... I ; As you have very frankly expressed . your purposes in your Order No 9, and in ‘ your letter to me I shall frankly express mine, remarking by the way that I do not admire as in good taste, nor in good ' spirits, certain expressions you use in talk ing to the freemen of Indiana. You snv ‘I am going to see to it in Indiana at least such men (opponents to the war policy' of the Administration,) have no abiding , place and again, in putting a stop to such practices, •! sb.all hold the leaders princi' pally responsible.’ Again, As well might’ i I establish a number of small pox hospi- . i tals etc., as to allow newspapers and pnblit; speakers to belch forth their disloyal . and treasonable doctiiue.;, such things wil II net Join these times. To kill the s: :• pent speedily it must be hit on the head ' ■ I Ibibear comment on these extracts ’ forthey tell their own tale. ■ Now sir ns a citizen of Indiana and of ij the United States, the earnest desire of mv heart is fbr the restoration ofthc Union peace and prosperity to my country ■ nmv lorn with civil fends and bleeding at every pore. lam not in favor of what I • believe to be the vindictive arid nnconati-. 1 tntionni policy of the Administration. I. am in flavor of suppressing the relielliqn : by al! constitutional means, but Ido not ■ believe this Federal Adminfsiration will ■ ever suppress the rebellion or restore the 1 Union bv the policv it has ndoptc'l. I be, liev the Administration has justly forfeit- : ' ed the confidence of a large majority of ’the people even in the 'Stated faithful ty , ‘ the Union and has rendered itself power-: ’ less to win back the Receded States by qqy ( peaceful or other means. I therefore be- i lievc the Administration ought to be ! ‘! changed as soon as the chquge can be < made in a constitutional way by a free election, of the peocle: and, T mean to do what. I can, to effect that change. The people-, of the tenth Cungre.ssfonal District, whom I have the honor to ' represent, condemned the Admintsirolion in the last October election. 1 made an issue before them against the Administration upon almost every measure ' j your name as a part of the war policy of 1 the Government.’ and a majority of the people agreed with me in the isvae I made, by elzc.l '•’g me their Representa-

It is with n sense of humilaion, ns a . citizen of Indiana tlint I have felt called I upon to respond, as I have done to your; , letter. I, and every’ other citizen of lite State may well ask, in view o’ liie authority you claim and the purposes you di<;lare, whers is Oliver P.

J’-.ot-J’rints of the Hisnnicu Fiend. A liikunion Fi»hd has been prowling over the country for many long years. , its tracks or loof-pi ints are too many and 100 ph.;:; not to tie seen and cleerly t eeogtiized. Some of the principal are these. 1 Ecelessinstical Division. — The Fiend i f Dl''.:nuti I gar, lus course by dividing . Cinisiian churches or denominations in’o Northern and Southern section >, i arnivinrf them in anti Christron hosti! ty , to tach other, ami making Litter en«tn!.i> it those who would otherwise Lave been brethren. 2 Political Division—The next great ’ track or foot print of the Disunion. Fiend is seen in raising up a sectional political party in the North, producing n oor s- . ponding one in the South, partaking of tlie same ter partisan hatred and malignity. Th" Jailer was n nece.’ iry t and inevitable ccunter-part of ll,e forn er.. 3. Civil War. — Next in order tins same Fiend made with civil war a blood-stained : track. Having at rav’d the two secii ..'is in ho-tility to each other in religion ht.d : politics, its next step'nas to set them to work, in utter disregard of th« p’.-art <f humanity and a common interest, t k and destroy each other or iay wa.'.ecur common’ heritage. | 4 Northern Division—Lest the work iof death and destruction should ba' soon pnded, this Disnn'on Ftjeud Jett ' another of his foot orbits in throwing firebrands among 'lie Northern pcoj' 'for the purpose of dividing them anil pi. I n- ' ging the war, while the Southern pee'de were made more united and resolu.e. hi held up objects and purposes oiiieii were not brought fcrwmrd at the beginning of the war, tor the sole purpose iof dividing and weakening the em : -■ and uniting, and strengthening, ilia 1 other. 5 Demorali-atihn of 'he Army —Tim ' next foot-nrin' of the Disuni <n I seen in the Union army. — Entering ,;u , ranks lie goes among the private e<•' t.’ts , and with the smoothness and g'tt’.e of the first temper of mankind, wl'tspers : .

I this work of di,' iding discouraging id parab zing the soldier the lie nd >s uI gaged day and bight. | G. Dismemberment of the Union.— All these steps, ti e prints of which .".to visible to the most careless observer, nra but preparatory to toe final one, wi.’ ‘ii will be made unless, the career of 11.-. Fiend be suddenly, and effectual’v checked. ]t will be seen in the final division r.n-1, dismerobennent of the 'Union, at which the. Fiend has been st> a lily aim ng for forty year:, past. This Disunion Fiefid is political Abolitionism, ’with an imp called Sccessionism. '—- Statesman. The Black Bhkiaob.—Sixty more ebony recruiis tor Governor Andrew le I the city vesterdav.
