And for that rewon we rrgrei that hi precb w not published in lull, tor our brief report gate odIj t alight idea of ita devilish epiri:. It wa Dot 07 thing that the Sentinel bad said that chafed the exhibition of aozer by the Goternor. To t iure w had expressed ourselves against the policy of the proportion of the five Western GoTtrnon calling oat the militia of Oaio, Iiidiana.Illinoi, Iowa and Wicocin, but in language more decided than oure aiid for realorn more potent tbaithoe we gire, did the leading Republican organ of the North west de couueetbe proposition of üotrnor Morto tl bi confederate. The speech of Hi Eicellencj would never hare been made, or would the Sentir.el have beeu alluded to by bim. if it bad not been for the chilling Republican atmosphere that he inhaled on hia return home. The mot bitter denunciations that we bare beard againrt the C ill came from the partisan friends of the Got ertor of Indiana. - The Governor threatens us for giring utterance to the opinion and feelings of bis part; frieuda. He aaya be twice saved this cfSre from a mob. but he doc not know whether he fhall do it again. Upon that point we think the honor are eay, for in our o;inioo the Goftrnor U as much indebted to ua as we are to him. Thi threat come from an official who ha. obligated hinelf to tee that the law be faithfully excuted, aud whose highest datjia to maintain law and order. If the property of citizens, because they do not happen to agree with the Governor in opinion upon questions of policy, ii to be subject to mob violence. It is time that the people ahould know it so that they mj protect themselves. And if the Gveruor has determined to force those who do not agree with him in entiment to sucb an isue, he can have no doubfut they will take prompt measures t3 do it, but on him will rest the responsibility, and it idt be the conqueoce of furcin auch l condition of anVirn. Enough of the Governor' speech to day. It is full of testa for comments and we rhall u.-e them at our convenience. Tlif Call for tTiiiitin. Governor Mortox denies the tatment of the Cincinnati Gazette's Washington correspondent, that Governor Dboi-gb proposed in the confererence with the Secretary of War to call out the militia for six months, or that he (Governor MoaTOJi) opposed the proposition of Gov.'ltaouoii on the ground that it would take men out of the State who were needed to sustain the government at th home elections-. It it admitted by Hi Excellency that the term of three month wis agreed on by Governor Broigh, Yates and Uosrrox at their council in this city. It appear Ihen that the terms of the offer to the Secretary of War as heretofore published were agreed upon here instead of at Washington, and in that regai-d only the Oazette'a correspondent was in error It is bardl probable that the correspondent of an influential orgin of the adminitrrtion would wiltully misrepresent the action of its own political friends, hence it is fair to infer that it was at the gubernatorial conference in lb s city that Governor Beouoii favored a call for six months and Governor Morto.x was unwilling to asent to a longer period than three months, or a hundred days, for the reason given, viz: "That the men might be be needed to sustain the governmental the home election." Is it not evident then that the party aspects of the matter were fully discussed by the Governors at their meeting here, and that the O nette' corres pondent must have received his infornntion as to the individual views of those) functionaries from some one who was present? He may have been mistaken as to the lorwlit? of the convers it tori . but it is hardly probable that he was misinformed in repard to its character, or to the opinions expressed by Governors Broigii and Morton. And this view of the eise is con finned by the admisniona anil statements of Governor Mortox in his Mtsouic (lall fpeech on FriJty night last. If language conveys auy idea of a man's thoughts and intentions, that speech is an unnjis-takahle indication that the Governor of Indina cares more ab ut his individual aggrandizement and the triumph of the prty he reire-ent at the home elections, than be does for the overthrow of the rebellion. Another Text for Ills Excellency-. Our "noble Governor" said all sorts of hard things about u in a very ridiculous speech he ; made on Friday night last, bceause we doubted the policy of calling out the militia at a time when "labor in the interior" was needed at home. ! Hia- Excellency thiuks that a Democrat pper has I no riv;bt to question the wijklom of the measures ! proposed by'loyal" and ".mall poutoe politi- I ciaus." It appears, however, that "loyal" ptpers ! are allowed the utmost latitude of opinion in j that regard. As the Governor is a constant and j close reader of the Sentinel, and for iear that ! the item may have escaped his notice, we direct j bis attention to the following editorial in the Cincinnati Gazette of Satutday last : LABOR IX THE INTERIOR. J The calling out of the militia at this time, ' wheu spring crop are being put in. and when work is greatly behind in consequet.ee of the 1 ralus that nave beeu sj trequeut this month, must ' caue gretl em -t madmen t in the agricultural districts, and result in a deficiency in the crops, : wqic: the country cicuot aflord. It is important, therefore. that the deficit in labor should be provide tor as far as possible. 1 We have receied letters from the interior, j tasking iiq)irie?, of which the folluwia are i apevimeus: "Could eonlrtbaud be procuied to ; perform farm Ubor here immediate! v ? Is there any agency u which appHcdioa could be mide fur them. and. if so, where ?" We are unable, at this writing, to answer the inquiries, and we respectfully ak soms gentle CBiq connected with the comrarund an.l refugee re ief societies to furnish the desired information, in order tht it may be publisoed in the r.eit sue of the Gzette We are all interested deeply interested in seeing that the plow are fully rntnrted. The people can not live comfort ably, uor ctn the armies fight successfully with out au aburdant upptv ot food, and this we may cot eipect it our broad fields are suCered to re min idle. We ask our highly patriotic and exceedingly virtuous Governor, if the sentiments, ei preyed have not a decide.1 coptHfrheadish drift! Its the country canuut afford a dehciency in the crops. And why I Decaue "the people canLot live comfortably, nor caa the armies fijjht suecevOuliy without an abuni-iM supply of food, aud ibis we caouot exxct if our broad fields are auffereJ to remain idle." The Gazette does cot top here. It bints at the dilLcuItr iu language

nmitakab7e. It attributes it to the calling ou; of the militia at this time, when spring crops are being put in. and when work is greatly behind in C'jnciucr.ce of l-e nini that biTe bern o frrquent the past oiontb. Who called the ncili'.ia at such a time! The "Injil" Governors Drqigh, HoBTOjf. YaTt. and Stokx. Kiw. according to His Eicellency of Indiana, the Cincinnati Gaaette is opposing the government by expressing sucb "disloyal" setti menu and the "loyal" people of that city ahould crush It out. The Gov ersor will, without doubt, in bis next speech, thunder bis indignation at the Gazette for questioning hia immaculacy. We present the Gazette to him for a text.

The President' Last. We puMi.-h this njoruin a letter from Mr. Liscoln. which gives his last views on the slavery questiou and kiudrel topics. There cm be no question as to ita authenticity , for nobody else could write just such a letter. The President takes the ground that it is necessary to violate the Constitution to save the nation, or in other words, he sees no remedy but to overthrow the government in order to preserve it. Strange reaaoning this He puis fortji the same argument to justify his disregard of the Constitution that the rebels, do to justify secession. They say, that they saw no other way to secure their rights but through rebellion and a separate government, and Mr. Lincoln declares that it was necessary to trample under foot the charter of government which holds ns together as a nation, to put down rebellion. In our own State the same rule is being plated, but of course on a little cale. The Governor of this State, becaucehe cannot get the State officers to unite with him in violating constitutional obligations, sets up an independent government in total disre pard of the Constitution and the laws. And while thus daily violating his constitutional obligation, fi lelitv to which i9 the only test of loyalty, he has the assurance to call thoe citizen of the St.ite "disloyal" who insist that the Constitution tod laws shall bt obeyed. Wheu auch doctrines and practices are approved, is it any wonder that the country is rapidly goiugto destruction? That Dnvl and ILchlcss Forged i.rttera. We copy the following from the Indianapolis Journal of Stturdty in regard to the forged letters of Davis and Eckleh, evidence which that paper is forced to admit confirms the etttement of Mr. Hat which we publi?hed a few days ago The Journal mjs as it credited the letters al leged to have been writ en by Judge Eck Lis and Hon Joh.x Ü. Davis, it deems it due to them "to give a full account of the origin of those letters, and the way they came to Gen. Gabfilld, which Cipt. 03 )RN, of our 20ih Battery, who whs fully cu;niztnt of the progress and completiun of the whole affair," gave that paper a few dajrs ao. We copy a follows: He (dpi (Morn) H a recent of üreencanie and well acquainted with both Lcklea and D vis lie ays while en. Ko-ect an was lying at Tul l ihom i hist summer he (uipt. 0 ) nt X-ish ville. ;nd was there visited by one Oliver Km kin of (reencatle, with whom he hud had some previous acquaintance. I the coarse ot a convernation during bis visit, Ktnkiii aaid to Capt. Osborn that he intended to try to get through the lilies into the rebel army as a ort of "outside" spy. Heinu adked how lie intended to io it, he said Gen. Hosecrans would pass hirn through, and once iu the rebel lines he h id letters that would secure him good treatment. And he ex hibited letters purporting" to be introductions from John G. Dvi nnij Judge D. K. Ei-klea to General John C. Breckinridge "If you de pend on those letters," caid the Captain "you may find yourself in a difficulty. They are forgeries. I know the handwriting of both Davis and Eckles well, and they never wrote them." itankin then admitted lh.it they bad not but that they were imitations got up iu this city. He nevertheless declared hs intention to go on through the lines. He went down soon after to Tull thoma to headquarters, and msde bis application to Genertl Kosecrans for a pass. It was peremtorily refused, the General saying with some warmth, "1 will not have your blood on my skirts " Kankin then professed to have some knowledge of the movements of the rebel sympathizers in this State, and to have been in their confidence, and he proposed to come back here aud obtain evidence upon which proceedings might ue based against them. Atthesame time he exhibited the letters to Breckinridge as coroboratin: evidence of his statement. The matter was, aa it might well be.deemedof importance enough to merit consideration, and Gen. G irfield took copies of the letters, as he stated in the House when they were read. Rankin started back to Nashville ostensibly for Indiana, on his new mission, and there again called u;on dpt. Osborn and gave him the account which we have reported of the interview with Gen. Rosecrans. The next day, or soou after, he went South instead of North, and probably p.ised the rebel lines, but nothing ha been certainly learned of him since. Helen the originals of the letters with some woman in Nashville, but Capt Osborn did not kuow her mmeor residence. This statement, which cinnot be questioned so far as it rests upon C.ipt Oborn'sown knowl edge, and the material portion of it does, con firms the ststement of Mr. Hays, and completely exonerate Davis and Kck!es, and als it exon erates Gen Garfield from any imputations of using forged docu men's knowingly or carelessly. l'ltrsmiiM 1,1.1 oiiV.s litsr.

Sir You ask me to put in writing the substance ot what I verbdly said the other day, in jour proence, to Governor Bratnlette and Senator Dxon It wa alout as follows: I am mturally anti-sUverv. If slavery is not wrens, nothing is wrong. I cmr.ot remember when I dtl not po think anJ feel And vet I hae never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted rislht to act officitiiy u'nt this ju imei.t nnd feeling It was in the oath I tot k. that I would, to the best of my ability, pre-erve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United Stttes I could rot take tlie t5ce withtut takirig the oath. Nur was it my view that I m'cht take an osth to get power, and break the oath in Uiirg the poaer I understand too, that, in ordinary citil aJ ministration, th:s oath even forbade me to prsc ticallv iniulge my primary, abstract juigment on the mral queftion of slavery. 1 hd putlicl declarl this manv times ar l in manv wsvs. Ani I aver that, to this day.

Right or wronr. attumed this ground and note a coir it. I could not feel that to the best of mv abili ty I had even tried to preserve the Contltutin. it toive slavery or any minor mtlter. I should permit the wreck of government, country, and Constitution, all together When, early in the war.

Special Correspondence of the Chicago Timea.J Washington. April 26. The news which reached here yesterday, of the surrender to the rebels of the forts at 11 v mouth, and our troops, stores, and munitions of war there, shows how ejrregiuusly the people were humbugged and tiei eived by thf first accounts of the affair, that were put forth two or three dav9 ago, under the sanction of the admin istration. In these accounts it was t-ted that tlie obstructions in the River Roanoke, above Plymouth, would prevent the rebel ironclad es eels from coming down to that place. But now it is a liuitttd that the rebel vessels passed the obstructions. pass?d Plymonih. and ure now, three ironclad gut. boats and a ram, riding at an chorin Albemarle Sound, thus commai ding all the inland water ol Notth Carolin. müU pi ventir' nil iciub'rcemcuis from tc'n pent to the other threatened points in the Stale Indeed, there is little danger th-tt, betöre this time, Newbern lias also lallen before the sureror nurabcrs ot the enemy; for 1 learn from h genltem in who has just arrived here, direct from North Carolina, that the Cod ledern tn have in the wtera ol' the Jio moke. Tar mid Neia-e rivers, a tieet o! no less than eiht ironclnd gui boats and lour large rams; and that there are in that State, principally at Wil niint;toti and alon the railroad from that place to Richmond, no less than 2tf,UUU Conlelerate troops It seems highly probable, from the events that lme taken place there during the last two weeks, thwt it is the intention of the Cotiteder it es to make a combined land and naval attack, about this time, upon all the Union posts alon the const of North Carolina, between Fort Macon and Albemarle Sound. The plan, so far as developed, seems to be to attack one postal a time, with an overwhelming force, while the punboat-i take up such positions as will prevent reinforce ments from reaching the beleaguered place. It is not at all unlikely that the plan will succeed. No better test of the qualities of these North Carolina rebel gunlotts could be desired than their ability to pss the obstructions above Plymouth and the Union batteries at the latter place. The heaviest shot and fhell rattled harmles-ly on the iron turtle shaped backs, and fell of!" into the water, or else rebounded back into the Union forts. One officer at Plymouth was actually killed by a piece of shell that thus relMHinded. But the rebel iron-clad have now begun to assemble in A Ibemarle Sound, and they have been proved to be seaworthy in every respect. The next question is. what are the rebels going to do w ith them. It is quite within their power to sail up to Forta I . f I a tress .Mohioe ami enter Hampton Koads it is , posibie ihat their recent movements are a p-rt of Gen. Lee's plan of the campaign, and thit he intends them to sail up Chesapeake Ray. peril ps even up the i otomac, in connection with tlie j movement of his own army towards the North. : A lew davs more will settle the question, but it I really seems at if the campaigu in the Etst was ' opening in eirnest This disaster at Plymouth, your readers will ' observe, is in Re.tst Butler's department, and he; is directly responsible for its occurrence. That! the Confederate had some such design in viewhas been known at his headqu irters for over two ; weeks past. It would have been quite within the ! power of an able comm aider, in Hurler's place,; to have taken such measures as would Im ve avert t ed the calamity. Rut Butler made liht of 11 the intelligence that was brought to him, and be ! hold the result. No man knows Butler's character better than General Grant. A decided, though not a promt i nent, leattire of tlie plan of the latter was. that j Butler should be superseded by General W. F. Smith. Mr. Lincoln, ever inclined to tempor'ze, I and knowing what a storm this would firing .ibout his head trom the radinls. is tryoisr hrd to save ', Butler; but Genenl Giant is inexonble He! knew that, with R uler in command n; Kortie-s Monroe, any cam:ain on the IVtiit:ula would be abortive. Fitullv Lincoln has compromised ; the matter by peimitting General Smith to be! asined to the comta m l of all the rnilita y ope- j rations in that department, but leivmg Rut. er in '. full comm aid as civil Governor, so that he could ; still play the petty tyrant over women and clergy j men. Hence Butler's demand of the Piesi-letit i to be allowed to reta;nthe commtnd of the troops j in the depirtment. A good deal depends on what j Mr. L:ncoIn's answer to this wiil be. It he re ! fuses to comply, and sustains General Grant, he I knows tSat the radicals will make capital out of j it, and mit withdraw t'ieir support from him in the Riltimoie Conveiitioii and give it to Butler; for they have mule Old Abe u"derstand that i Rutler mut be susvtined in everything.

STATE ITH.T1. -The following proposition was made at a war meeting In Lafayette on Thursdiy night last, catted to raie one hundred days men. It is needle?! to add ihat nurj "loyal" trnn of the character named accepted it. The "shoddy" patriots entertain the idea that "the Govern ment" has no right to ask them to expose their precious bodies to danger it is only poor men, the bone and ainew of the country, who are called upon to risk the dangers of the field and endure the toil and privations of the soldier. We copy from the Lafayette Argus: A SBUT II THE TITAIS. If Indiana is in danger, he ought to be defended; if the General Government want troops for operation elsewhere, it will get them, whether it oujihi to or not. But there ought to be no further drain made, either by conscription or tlie volunteer bounty svstem, upon the laboring and producing claasea pf tlie West especially at this reason uf the )e.ir unles incase of actual and formidable invasion. So we think, aud so thought E. M. Weaver, Eq , when he made a proposition at the war meeting last night, which, unaccountably, ia not published in the morning paper's official report of the proceedings. A .roposition was made to procure a further appropriation of bounty money Irom the county, thus Illing to an already immense debt and heavy taxation, while it would necessarily have a tendency to take large numbers of poor men from their families, and deprive the cotnmu'iity of their almost invaluable services, which would be a double wrong and a double injury. This w;s doubtle.-s Mr. Weaver's process of reasoning, and not having any sinister ends to accomplish in this recruiting enterpi i.-e. he proposed, as n substitute f r the syteui of bounties and taxation, that one hundred or more of the wealthy and hle bmjied citizens of the county should go to the fiei l for three months, and let the laboring men ftay at home where they are o mach needed. He asked the men who pail one bundled dollars a tear and upward in county and State tixe. shouM join a company, furnish their own equipments, free of expwnse to the government, and start at once. Though his own taxes did not amount to o much, he declated himself read to go for one of .such a company. At the beginning of the wr. such a proposition would have been hailed with delight, as an evidence of exalted patriotism But, a'.as, in thecsTioddy days, our stay-at-homes hive found out a way to carry on war without danger. Let the rich man give Ins money, the poor man his heart's blood, to protect our property and our livt-s ! A fair and equi'able division, f iv the shoddies, and tlie stay at home, and nil the sects of the scribe and pharUees. Where is the fairness, we afk. Have not i tie rich an interest in the deli'Dce of the country that the poor c tnnot even comprehend? Is the life ot the mm who pell gr;in any more valuable to the public than that of the mm wno planted it? Are banket. lawyer ami phynici.ins any more üecessary to the public than mechanic? It the men who wotk upon our street should be taken away it would work injury to the 8ole of the whole community; but if the Kev. Mr. Cie.itiK'heese, who wear broadcloth and fine linen, and fare sumptuously every day, and flonrishci a cambric Intulkerchief over ;t giltedgei Iiible for an boor or two once a week, should be cut off in the attemrt to put his blood thirsty theorie info practice, what valuable interest w oul puffet ? Mr. Weaver's proposition was a center shot, and went iu deep, a is evident from its suppression iu the report, ami other in i infestation of ill a fleeted contempt with which it has been met in certain quarter. The Lifavette Argus savs the one hundred days war meeting iu that city was a hippy affiir, or in other words, a gitod thing. Judge Test urged the importance öf the occasion and the necessities of the cae, but he did not volunteer. Col Wm. C. Wilson advised every one to voluu leer, regardless of consequence, but he did not volunteer. Judge Vinioti also hilaluted, but he did not volunteer.jjTbe Argus says: A soldier belonging to an Indiana regiment modestly nnnouueed that he was detailed upon the recruiting service; that he judged from the manifestations, that everybody ptesent was in tcn.-ely loyal, and that he was prepared to give them a chance to prove that such wa the fact by giving them a chance to enlist for three times three hundred and sixty-five davs service, instead ot the contemptible little "one hundred days" offered by ' General" Morton. We have not, so I ir, heard that he obtained "ray" recruit. The Vincennes Sun says the proposition of the ladies of this city to take the place of men in business at home, and let them go to war "is putting the patriotic masculines of Indianapolis in a tight place," and asks how will they get out of it? Ox a High Says the Vincennes Sun of Ftidty last: The Rivkr The Overflow. The river is no on a stand, having rien about 15 feel in the laal week.

Subscriptions to tbe Bond a-e received la United Statei lioiee or notes of Natioad Banks. Thf y are TO BE REDEEMED IN COIN, at the pteasure of tbeGoremtnent, at any period not l4t IVia U rmr more Hit forty ytart from their date, and until tbeir redemption FIVE PER CENT. INTEREST WILL BE PAID IN COIN, on Bonds of not orer one hundred dollars annually, and on all other Bnis eemUannually. Tbe interest U payable on the first dayi of March and September in each year. The emi-annnal Coupons are payable at those date, and the annual Coupons on the $50 and UK) Ii nJ are pay .Me on the flm of Marchi Subscribers w ill receive either Kegistered or Coupon Bond as they may prefer. Registered Bonds are recorded on the books of the United States Treasurer, and can be transferred only on the owner's order. Coupon Bonds are payable to bearer, and are more conrenient for commercial uses. Registered Bonds ill be issued of the denominations of Fifty Dollars (5H), One Hundred Dollars ($100), Five Hundred Dollars ($50U),) One Thonsand Dollars (1,000), Five Thousand Dollars (lo.OOO), and Ten 1 ho uand Dollars (tl0,lOn); and Coupon Bonds of the de nominal kn of Fifty lollar (tO), One Hundred Dollars (100), Five Hundred Dollars ($300), aud One Thousand Dollars )0O0.) Subscribers to this loan will hare the option of haviog their Hmdi draw interest fr m Mrch lt, by paying the accrued interest in coin (or in Unired Slates note-, or the notes of National Banks, adding fi ty p r cent, for premium.) or receive them drawing interest from the date of bubi-rription and deposit. As these Bonds are exempt from municipal or State taxation, their value is increased from on to three per cent, per annum, accor'tini? to the rate of tax levies in various parts of the country. At the preent rate of premium on gold they pay over eight per cent, interest iu currency, and are of equal con enience as a permanent or temporary investment. It is beheved that no securities offer so great induce menis to lenders as the various descriptions of U. S. Bond. In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability of private parties or stock companies or separate communities only is pledg-ed for payment, while for the debts of the United States tbe whole property of the country is holden to secure tl.e payment of both principal and interest in coin. These Bonds may be mbsoribeit for Jn sums from 950 up to any magnitude, on th sam term, and are thus made e,jully available to the smallest lender and the largest capita 1st. They can he converted into money at ny moment. an1 tbe holder will have tbe benefit of the interest. The fact that alt duties on imports are payable in specie furnishes a fund for like payment of interest on all Government Bonds l rgfly tn excess of tbe wants or the treasury for this purpose. Upon the receipt of subscriptions a certificate of deposit therefore, in duplicate, will be issued, the original of which will be forwarded by he subscriber to the Secretary of the Treaury, at VTahin?ton, with a letter stating the kind (reRiftered or coupon) and the denominations of bondi required. Upon the receipt of tbe original certificate at the Treasury Department , the bonds subscribed for will be transmitted to the subscribers respectively. Subscriptions will be received by the Treasurer oftto United Stttte. at Washington, and the Aitttnt Tri vrers at New York, Boston and Philadelphia, and by the I'itet Xational mt of Indi n. !;, ,, and by all National Banks which are depoi-itares of public money.
