DECATUR, ADAMS COUNTY, INDIANA, JUNE I3,;186:J.

From the ITrbatia (Ohio) Union. NEG (to RECRUITING. A meeting was hell at the Court House last Friday evening for the pur ; ptfse of procuring negro tecruifa for the war (to be platted la MassaCinisetlS regiments). The house was well filled With the white and colored people of this vicinity. J. V. Jones made the speech of the evening’—indeed, the only one which produced any eff-ol for the cause Q;hI ers were made but they either amounted Ito nothing in effect, or caused a deI pressing influence on the war feeling of i I the colored people. They were mere ! harangues about not having their lights’ tin Ohio:—social and political equality j j with the whites we suppose was meant Jones very sensibly told them that I their present rights were just and suffi- I cient, and that if they wished to denrmni strata their patriotism now was the oppor- | tuniiy enlist at once. The result of the meeting which lasted i until alate hour was seven or eight re-’ I ctuits only. ]t was the general impress- ; j ion that it woul I have been more success had there been 1< ss Crowing done anti more roojr given to the enunciation of sense, and the, transaction, ofbusi- ; ness. An enthusiastic meeting of our col-‘ 1 ored citizens was held, a few r-venin-rs ; since in the cellar of Geo. Washington Jefferson North street. They weie caM ■ e.l toirether bv thw summons of an influ , ential committee, for the purpose of jeonsidering, tne propoeilioo, ol raising, a colored, regiment, in Massachu I setts. Caesar Augustus Crow E<q , was inivited to the chair and Julius Epaminjondas Toney was requested to act as 'Secretary. Upon taking the chair, Mr. ! I Crow opened the meeting with the foilj owing remarks: [ Fl Han citizens and Cullered Biedren: We is sembled tn dese yese, spacious’ ; naba on a most ruom. nterons casion 1 ■Bellion has played hob wid disyere. enuntrv sodat de wi.i>e folks is all skeerI ed, and now dev calls on us to save de l nation. — Bretlren! Is we ekal to do it? (Voice —We am!'and vociu-rous cheers.) I Yes, fellah-citiz-ns, is twenty five tousan , niggers more’n tree, bund’d touson’ white men? Dat's de question! (Voice I —Day is! and renewed stamps on the cellar floor. I)'nt bein yer scentimenis, Mr. Toney ’ll phase read the revolutions i j what’s drawed up.’ Mr. Crow sat down down upon a; barrel, amid a storm ot cheers peculiarly African. The Secrrtary then read the following i resolutions; 1. Wliereashow, lookin’ back troude ; vista of dis war we don’t see nuftin an couragin’ and look wuss'n ever; resolved ‘Sumthin’s got to he dune! 2 R'solved, White folks liaint done' ' nothin ' 3 Resolved. It takes cullered folks io j do sum: bin'. 4 Resolved, How’s gwine, to be. i Jone! 5. Resolved, D it’s de question! The resolutions having been real, .there was a great rush for the floor, and ! gentlemen treading upon the elongated ■ heels of each other, there was no little ! confusion and outcry. Order being at' length restored Pompy Cole, E-q , was recogniz-d by the—barrel. Mr. Cole remarked; Mr. Cheerman. I : don’t know bout dis vere thing. Fust’ place, afore we lieks de Sous 1 wants to, know what we’s got to do bout it? I read a story in de Courier bidder day boat some white fellah asking a cullered ‘ gemm"n savs he. Look you here, white ’ man did reh cv< r see two dogs a fightin over a bone?’ Wall, white man lowed lie had. ‘Berry, will,’ says de cullered. gemmen, did. de bone fight?’ ‘Now den Miss’r Cliekrtnah on de barrel yonnder dey tells us dis's away for liberty—for to set dem niggars out South free. Well who axed em to do it? Nigger out South did’t. He’s better olf afore dan he is now, kieken bout, atween ■ to armies and a kulcbin it all round.— Cullered gemmen here aide Norf didn’t ax ’em. Pore we wants dem dirty niggers cirklatin’ round lure a taken business out o’ottr hands! Is we gwine to shave for six cents an’blackboots f'r two cents, like dey can? No sab, _.o! My sentiments is (fat if white folks had waited till cullered people and niggers had axed em to figet bout ent. dere wouldn’t been no fightin’ no way! Guvner Andrew can’t come itoverdis child. Ifhe wants a dinner I'le give him one, like Mr. Havden did. cause I ain’t proud; but he ain’t a gwine to get my shoulder behind a musket if he kiss it all day long. —No sab! an wbat’s more, white sodgers don’t want us no more’n we want to go! Pis yere country’ll be safer to let de whit,, folks fight it out, and kt de cullered gemmen stay to home an tainJ dera ftwnj ■ business!' I • — - -♦ - ■ *

The spsech of Mr. Cole bad such a convincing effect upon the assembly that efforts of President Crow, who was the only darkey in the crowd who received a five dollar bill from the Governor w>-re totally ito ffectual for the preservation of order. The barrel upon which he had mounted was kicked from under him. but as he fortunately alighted upon bis head, lie sustained no personal injury, so that he rvas not prevented from fulfilling bis engagement to lake tea with His Excellency on the tollowing evening—-His report of the proceedings of the meeting will probably be published at the expense of the State, unli’BS it be deemed inexpedient as not comporting with the public welfare.— Boston Courier, Liberty.

Tod appeared Before Fairfield County Court of Common pleas yesterday, in obedience to r< quirements to answer to the charge filed against him. by. Dr. Edson B. Olds. The attorney for Gov Tod filed a petition; and declared that as he. (Tod) was Chief Ext'CUlivp of the State, be was not liable to arrest until be vacated his office, either by the expiratier. of his term or by iDpenchment. He therein re could not be punished now. The 6Ht»C should remove to the Federal Court under the provisions passed by last Congress. The Governor’s case, was, then continued by consent, he entering into a new cognizance to appear at the next term ol the court. The offense of General Hascall, who has been removed from the command of the Department of Indiana is said to have been a declaration iu a published order, that if tbe New York Express was published in his district ba would suppress it ■ and arrest the editors.

■ , I Under the head of‘A General Levy" the Richmond Dispatch sarcastically says Abraham Lincoln the Autocrat of the Yankees has become tired of obtaining soldiers in broken doses, and has therefore made a levy cn masse on his loving subjects He deems it extremely necessary that this very troublesome rebellion in the Southern Mates should be stippre.s ■ sed and knowing no other method oi'ac-compH.-hing that end he has called out' everybody. White men and negroes, native born foreign bo.in, Yankees of every shade and ' class, capable of carrying a musket or wielding a sword, are instructed to con- I sider themselves a part of the national forces, and ordered to take up their knap sacks and their line ofmarch for the Sou- | them country, the thirteen hundred thousand troops already placed in the field, < have been found unequal to the task. A large portion of them have been muster-i ed out of service by the Confederates and sent to ‘that bourne from whence no trav, , eler returns.’ Thousands and tens of j thousands of them have seen the grim destroyer approach in the shape of disease, while other thousands crippled worn and , diseaserl. are dragging out a miserable ex , isteni-e iu the hospitals of their Northern . homes. The following items are from the Louisville Democrat: Over 2.H1 men have deserted from the Ith Kentucky cavalry Regiment. The police and other ofiiicers are on the trail of t hem. If they du not return to their regiment soon it will go rather hard with r . them. j The colonels of the negro regiments as ■ a general thing are preachers, ex-Chap- 1 lulus. There is some propriety in their 1 de-erting a God whom they never served 1 for the enemy they have always loved;: ■ and we congratulate the white soldiers ; , on the change. A captain came to the city yesterday from Lexington with a squad of men and , • he thought he’d show the boys how to go ■ on a bender, when lie was picked tip, put. lin chains and sent to Lexington, with ;uicunlci. oeun anouiri vsqjunu, uns , one fell early in the action.’ Major Farris knows how to treat them. The women of mane towns in New En gland have formed ‘Onion Leagues,’ to encourage and extend the cultivation of; ; onions tor the use of the army. In onion ; : there is strength. Union for the sake of ' cnion and onion for the sake of Union. In the assuk on Vicksburg, May 23d, | the Indiana regiments maintained their; . brilliant reputation. The correspondent 'of the Cincinnati Commercial says: Between 12 and 1 o’clock the 16’h Indiana, after a desperate charge succeeded in capturing a fort to the richl ; of the one in possession of Col. Landrum They held it gtdlantly against a d.-tertu ( lined asslilt until relieved by the 48th I Indiana.frr.ni v bom, it was, taken by a surprise force of the enemy. The fighting on the left, was done by the divisions of General Carr. Osterhaus. ; and .Smith and, was of a more, desperate character, and, of a longer, d uraj tion, than that upon the rigbe, of the center. Too Many Names. —We have heard ibe story of a quaker who being implored jby a republican to join the Loyal Leagues responded. ; Friend thou changest thy name too often; 1 have known thee as a Whig, as ; a Free Soiler as a Native American as a I , Know Nothing as a sn<-erer at the Union, ■ as a friend of theUnirn, as a Loyal Leag- , tier, and thou reccollectest how many more titles and 1 cannot trust thee. When brother Obed fell Gom grace and became a rogue he changed his name and I have lound whenever men design ' making their living by dishonest means j they, are, always, likely to do the same. If thou dost, ever adopt one name, and set of principles, and hold on, to them, for fifty, years, as the, Democrats, have done, I may begin to trust thee. Out of the Frying Pan into the Fire. —Some of the secessionists in Louisville naving made a disturbance at the theater i n that city when national airs were played the manager on the following evening gave notice just before the airs were to be played and stated that any one who wished could withdraw A number ol persons including several ladies, contemptusuly rushed out but also! the Provost Guard was at the door, and politely escorted the company to the guard bouse where thev could cultivath patriotism. So the play had a rather , tragic end. “Setb, how, sheepish, you look.’ — Sheepish? T guess you would, look. Sheepish, too if you’d livee on i nothing, bat mutton lor a week, »• I , havu.’

THE PRESS AGAIN FREE! We are gratified to be able to announce that the press is again free. >U" President has directed Gen.

We are glad to see this sign it r.'timing reason on the part of th" Administration, and tru-d it may refracs jolbers ol its faj.se steps and hereafter ; strive to Confine its acts within the litntta of the censtitulton. We give below nn article from th* Chicago Times of this morning in relw- ■ lion to the restoration of tbe freedom c! the press: REVIVED The Chicago Times ol NY edne“day morning reached only a part of its sub- ■ scribers. The reason of this failure w !be found in the subj ined notifica'iut., which reached us by telegraph on Tuesdav morning at about II o'clock: [We yesterday published Burnsidi’t j orders suppressing the Times ] ' In porsuance of this order at about 4 j o'clock A M., on Wednesday a tntlltarv fotc- invaded our office and stopped otir press wh<n on.y abotitone-brlfof the ed- ■ ition of The Times lor that Morning Lad been printed.

That i the pence .has been preserved — that blood 'has not flowed in our streets —is attributable to the devotion of the democracy lof the city to the grand principle of th » i party that the highest public duty vi ■' eveiy citizen is to m unt in the supremac', of the I >ws.’ The peace has beta preserved—the suprr-maev of the laws has been maintained —and to day tl j democracy of Chicago stand upon a pm* Last evening, at about 6 I 2 o ciock, we receieved, the following, telegraphic, ; dispatch: L> xinginn, Ky .
