The “World and Citizen Soldier.” Washington, D. C., makes the following complimentary allusion to the nominee of the Democracy of Indi--ana for Secretary of State: “ 1 he Hon. W. R. Myers, a Member of the House of Represeutati es of the Forty sixth Congress, has been nominated for the office of Secretary of State in Indiana. Wo remember with pleasure the part taken by Mr. Myers as a member of the Select Com* mittee to investigate the Pension Office and the whole subject of the payment of pensions, bounty and back pay. Our read rs are not likely to have forgotten with what perse verance he followed Commissioner Bentley in all his twistings and turnings during the investigation, until the inefficiency of that official, ami his tyrannical disregard of the rights of the soldier, were exposed. To Capt. Myers, perhaps, more than to any other man in the country, is due the credit for the retirement of Bent ley from the Pension Office. His military record is that of a true soldier, who rose from a private through all the grades to the rank of Captain. He is a man of generous nature and noble instincts, and has shown himself to be the practical friend of the soldier, and we do not doubt that his comrades in Indiana will remembei him on election day.” Felix A. Vincent’s Combination has been delighting our citizens with entertainments at the Opera House during the week. Crowded houses attest the merit of the performances. Thanks to Clint. Stackhouse for the fine watermelon left wite us.
