Editor .Associate Editor Cotton. Our readers wi'- mberthat in yccti-iJay s joubnal, the fact was announced that over 3,000 bales of cotton have been received at Now York from England since the war began. One would think that if the urn imiiliM of that country are as represents' in tha Liverpool Post, they would keep tbe stuple at home. The fact, however, but goes to show that John Bull's "pocket nerve" is about as sensitive as any body's else. If be can get a few more cents per pound tor the "raw material," in New Y ork, than he can at Manchester, he is sure to be a shipper, even though myriads of hunery operators there, should go to tbe poor fcf " 'e, and his mills all be put on "half" or "quarter" time. Brother Jonathan understands what "John" is after now, and be may as weli learn now as hereafter, that the "Must have Cotton" cry in vulgar parlance is played out. The blockade will be maintained at all hazards, and not a single bale will be permitted to go to Liverpool or anywhere else, until tbe rebellion is suppressed. And ns long as John Bull does what little he can do to strengthen and keep alive the rebellion, just so long will the happy day when cotton will be again flush, ba postponed. Our traaMtlajltk friends may as well settle down in .uis conclusionAnd, meanwhile, if they choose to send their cotton here, well and good but, depend upon it, none will go there. JSjF" Col. Richard Owen has been exceedingly fortunate in having secured the services of Dr. Bray for his regiment, now forming the 60th. This fact will materially aid him in securing enlistments, as the most important points to be looked at by a volunteer in choosing tbe regiment in which to enlist, is who are the Quartermaster and Surgeon. If these are the right kind of men, he can enlist with tbe assurance that he will not be neglected sick or well. We presume skillful than Dr. Bray. We know there are none more kind or attentive to their patients ; none whose hearts can sympathize more deeply, or whose hands relieve more skillfully. He is emphatically the right man to attend to the wants of a fighting regiment such a one as Col. Owen's will " i. j SsjaAwTETO Some of our good Union friends, in our sister cu., JT fTpnderson, are in aa agony of apprehension in consequence of a rumor circulating there, that drafting for the federal army will commence in that city in a few weeks. The rumor, we presume, is without foundation. The federal government will not be compelled to draft n.wu in it3 defense. It is not quite so apparent, however, that Kentucky ought not to draft her citizens to defend her soil, as many of them seem unwilling uj uo it unless under compulsion. We know that were Indiana invaded as is Kentacky, Gov. Morion would have every able bodied man in the State between the ages of 18 and 4 in the field in leas thr. two weeks. Even if it w-re necessary to resort to drafting, Kentuckian's should be compelled to defend Kentucky. It is a matter of interest to the friends ot volunteers to know what proof of the death of a soldier is requisite to enable ' bis heirs to procure his pay and the $100 bounty. Sufficient proof of the death i3 furnished by the company rolls, which are deposited with the Auditor. It is unnecessary for the appointment of an administrator, except where there are many heirs so scattered as to create inconvenience in making several applications. When a claim is made by a father, mother, or widow, it is unnecessary. IPS? We have received the fourth number of "The Picket Guard," published by the soldiers at Paducah. The editor intends to go southward and says : "Should any of our editorial friends have business in New Orleans next winter, we shall be glad to see them at onr publication office on Camp street. Onr office there is now employed in printing the remaining numbers of the Delta." Another naval exhibition sailed Monday from New York. From ihe tonnage of the vessels composing the fleet, we should think that at least 15,000 men had sailed. The destination of tbe fleet will not be known until its mission has been accomplished. It may not he sMnisa (o anolotrize to our readers for tbe bad appearance of the Journal for tbe two mornings pajt. Our usqh! place for getting paper failed us unexpectedly, and occasioned "a hitch' in onr arrangements.

Present to Gek. Anderson. A magnificent gold box to be presented by tbe Common Council of New York to General Anderson, has been completed. It is octagonal in shape, about three inches deep and five inches long. In front of the lid is a miniatura eagle of solid gold, while upon tbe top of the cover is represented the gallant soldier in a kneeling posture and the 'ioddess of Liberty in the act of placing a crown upon bis brow. The workmanship is exquisite, the likeness of Anderson, though in such miniature, being said to be perfect The box presents the following inscription : "The freedom of the city of New York conferred upon Major Robert ' nderson by its corporate aathorities, in reco. ion of his gallant conduct in defending Fort bul against the attack of the Rebel3 of South Carolina, April 12-13, 1861."

An effort is being made by Hon. Jno. Law, to secure for the use of our sick soldiers, the Marine Hospital, below the city. The Marine Hospital in Cincinnati has been appropriated for tbe use of the Ohio troops, and there is no reason why the same rule should not be adopted here. A large number of sick soldiers, belonging to the 31st Indiana regiment are now on O'Riley's wharf boat, poorly provided for, and subject to all manner of inconveniences, while within sight is a large hospital stored with comforts for the sick, with paid nurses and physicians in the employ of the same government, whose soldiers are sufFering upon a public wharf boat. We nope that the matter may receive the early attention of Mr. Chase. 1 BiaP Tbe commissioned officers belonging to the 19th regiment, Col. Meredith's, have tendered their resignations, one or two of which have been already accepted and the gentlemen are at home. We hope the fact that Col. Meredith's regiment has been assigned the position of honor and danger the advance of the advance brigade has nothing to do with these resignations. 'The number of Union troops at Owensboro is being daily augmented. Col, Jackson has issued a call to Kentuckians who are nobly responding to it, and flocking to the National standard. Tbe name of Col. Jackson's encampment is ''Camp Silas Miiler," in honor of the patriotic host of tbe Gait House. A S. Johnston, the rebel com mander h i oiumbus, Kentucky, has been presented wuh the famous racer "Umpire" for a charger. If Mr. Ten Broeck has disgraced "Umpire" to such an extent a3 that he has forfeited the good opinion of all who have hitherto felt an interest in the success of his horses. .The ladies of Indiana are respond ing nobly to tbe Executive call. Contributions are already going forward to Quartermaster Vajen. 'The officer who addressed us from Madison, is informed that uo communications upon the subject referred to in his letfOur dispatches this morning indicate the Potomac is again closed against navigation by rebel batteries. Washington is not safe after all. We trust Gov. Morton hers two or three regiments ready to move east instanter. Delays are dangerous. Indiana turns out volunteers faster than the Government tan arm them. At least five regiments are ready to march as soon as they are supplied. The War Department has contracted for the immediate building of a military telegraph along the Indiana border, at tbe instance of the Governor. 8The State Seutinel says Brigadier General Pierce, of Big Bethel fame, is now serving as a private soldier in Col. Fletcher Webster's Massachusetts regiment. We don't believe a word of it. A correspondent of the Louisville Journal, furnishes the following as the programme of the secessionists for the destruction of the locks on Green kiver, and the occupation ot the entire State, and the closing of navigation on the Ohio river: Dr. C. T. Noel, the man whom the gallant G. H. Yeaman of Daviess defeated for the Legislature, recently left his heme at the head of one hundred cavalry for the purpose of joining Buckner. This is another link in the train of circumstances showing the conspiracy and the plan that was agreed upon which is made certain by a letter that was intercepted from a rebel in the Southern army, to his father, in Owensboro. Buckner was to occupy Louisville with a large-lorce, and simultaneously a brigade was to go from Bowling Green toward Rochester, where Hawkins was encamped, thence to Hartford where Cols. McHenry and Burbridge's regiment were recruiting; break up these two camps, hang McHenry; take all the arms from the Union men in Butler, Muhlenburg, and Ohio counties, move on towards Owensboro, where Noel with ki3 cavalry, and George W. Triplet!, at the head of the "minute men," with Col. Boyd of the militia, together with other distinguished traitors were to subjugate the Union men of Daviess; destroy Locks Nos. 1 and 2; plant their cannon on the river at Owensboro, and check the navigation of the Ohio. Clint. McClarty was to be provost marshal of the town and secession to reign supreme. Gen. Buckner, foiled in this, marched along Green river, and published his proclama tion in evei v town rr.a county, thinking his "old friends" would rally to his stand ard as did Napoleon on his return from Elba, but alas 1 How sadly was he disappointed. Not one solitary change was made in bis favor; on the contrary hundreds of ! Southern Rights men joined the Union ' party, and enlisted as soldiers to repel him. , The object of his expedition fell dead flat, ' and the "old companions of his childhood," as he toucbingly called them in bis proclamation to the "Citizens of Muhlenburg," j turned from him with scorn and contempt. He has now returned 'o Bowling Green, 1 and there has been within the last lew , days a withdrawal of troops Southward ! from Bowling Green and Itusscllville.

Address of the Ladies' Patriotic Association of Indianapolis to the

Women of Indiana. The Ladies' Patriotic Association met on Fridv fternoon in response to the Governor o appeal to the patriotic ladies of the State, asking for comfortable clothing for our volunteers who are suffering from the cold in the mountains of Virginia and the hills of Kentocky. Knowing the desire that our sisters in all portions of the State feel to aid in anything that can contribute to the comfort of our noble soldiers, it was Resolved, That a memorial be drawn up by tbe ladies and a copy sent to every postoffice in the State for distribution, asking the co-operation of the ladies in their vicinities. To the Women of Indiana: Winter, with all its hardships, is here, and the soldiers, who are defending our liberties and homes, are unsupplied with warm clothing suitable for their protection while undergoing the exposures attendant upon camp life. We have husbands, sons and brothers in the field exposed to the pitiless storms of winter in severe climates. We are surrounded by all the comforts of horn? ourselves, the cheerful society of friends, tbe warm fireside, and the soft, clean bed. Our volunteers have taken their lives in their hands and gone forth to battle for all that is dear to us. Shtll we refuse to do all in our power to render their bard life at least endurable? Can we remain at ease and feel no sympathy tor them? The Quartermaster General, endorsed by the President and General Scott, has appealed to the women of the North for contributions of blankets, the Government supplies being exhausted. Our own Quartermaster has appealed to us for assistance. Our honored Governor has appealed to us in the strongest terms for onr co-operation with the Government to clothe our soldiers. They need blankets, woolen socks and mit tens, and flannel shirts and drawers, it is said that the women of the South have even taken tbe carpets from their floors and made them into blankets for their soldiers ! Tbey have sold their jewels, and given the money to their Government, and, by their sacrifices and devotion, almost supported the Southern army thu3 fa Their enthusiasm knows no bounds, and tbey thus inspire their men with a spirit which has been too successful until now. If they can do so much in an unholy cause, what ought we to do in one which is so exalted and just as ours? We. tbe ladies of Indianapolis, are rapidly organizing ourselves into societies for the aid of our soldiers. We meet at stated times and places to do work. We have an admittance fee for tbe admission of members, which gives us means with which to purchase materials to work upon. We also ask contributions of money or materials from those who are able to give, and we hope to accomplish great good ir. our labors. Snch societies might be organized in every f ",va, village and neighborhood in tbe Stale, and in the name of oursutrenug soldiers we appeal to you to earnestly begin the work which is so imperatively required of you. There is scarcely a farmer's family of means in the country who ha3 not a store of blankets, woolen coverlets, stocking yarn and flanne? laid away, which is nseless to tbem at present. These are the very things which our soldiers net,d I Women of the country! Now Is your time to make your patriotism manifest. We look to you for great things. Those women who, in the revolution, most distinguished themselves, were countrywomen, wives of farmers, women of practical common sense, who were not afraid of work. Your husbands, sons, brothers and friends are fighting the battles of the Union. They are suffering for the want of articles which you can supply, and which you would supply were they at home. Box up your, blankets and coverlets, and send them to busily in making up yoifr stores' of flannel into shirts and drawers. Spend the long evenings in knitting warm woolen socks and mittens ont of your supplies of yarns. Emulate your New England sisters in tnia work of love ; work as individuals, or in societies ; only work, and send in the results of your labors to tbe proper authorities, and thus comfort the bodies and cheer the hearts of our soldiers. How can we reach you with our feebleness? How arouse you to active participation in this great work ? Would that we had the voice of an archangel, that with trumpet-tones we might awaken yoar hearts to a proper sense of the importance of the cause. Unless onr soldiers are warmly clad sickness will ensue, and death will stalk abroad among them and carry away those who are nearer to us than all other earthly objects. Our army will become disheartened, our troops spiritless, and the best Government on earth will be destroyed. Liberty will be trampled under foot, and our beloved country be forever darkened by tbe consequences of this dire rebellion. Our bands are not strong. We caono' K.ll ilie battles of our country, or stand in her solemn couueils ; but our hearts should be tender and our souls womanly, and we should not only feel for onr defenders, but also give such aid to them as our sphere and means admit. We earnestly solicit the clergy of the different churches throughout the State to mention this subject from the pulpit, and urge its importance to the people. Teachers, also, in schools could materially assist in arousing tbe interest of the women of the State. We earnestly solicit the editors of newspapers throughout the State to publish this appeal, in order that it may reach ail the the people. Mrs. Cady, Mrs. W. Sheets, Mas. B. F. Tdttlh, Committee. An Important Mistake Corrected. The Washington City Republican says : "In this connection, we note that one particular order upon General Fremont for five regiments to be sent here, which ba3 been complaiued of, was not received at St. Lonis until the day hfttr the surrender of Col. Mulligan, and which event that order of coarse did not tend to produce." And the New York Times says " lyt administration had ordered six of Fremont's regiments to Washington on Saturday, which turned out to be the day after Col. Mulligan had been obliged to surrender." We were at St. Louis at tbe time. We read those dispatches tbe evening of Satnrday, September 14tb. Mulligan surj rendered Friday, September 20tb, six days afterwards. It is extraordinary that a , paper at Washington City should make I such a blunder as above on a point where i the question of dates was of such vital imi portance. j Ready as we shall be, to criticise General I Fremont, if he proves himself in the field J not to be the right man for the place, we insist that when a General goes forth to ! battle, periling his life for tbe country, and j tbe cause he is serving, it ahculd be euougu that be meets the enemy in front, without being stabbed in the back at the same time.

Andy Johnson and tub Armed Exiles from East Tennessee. The Hon. Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, said in his speech at Columbus last week, referring to a visit to Camp Dick Robinson : The other day, when I stood in the presence of two thousand Tennesseans, exiled like myself from their homes of comfort and the families of their love, I found that my manhood and sternness of mind were all

nothing, and that I was only a child. There they were, my friends and fellow-citizens of my beloved State, gathered upon the friendly soil of Kentucky, from the tender stripling of sixteen to the gray-baired fathers of sixty, all mourning tbe evil that has befallen our land and our homes, but all seeking for arms wherewith to go back and drive the invader from our fields and hearthstones. I essayed to speak to them words of counsel and encouragement, bat speech was denied me. I stood before tbem as one who is dumb. If it be true that out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speaketh, it is also true that the heart may be too full for the utterance of speech. And such were ours two thousand of us exiled Tennesseans, and all silent ! Silent as a city of the dead ! Bat there was no torpor there. There were the bounding heart and throbbing brain ; there were the burning cheek and the blazing eye, all more eloquent than ever were the utterings of human speech. Each of that throng of exiles, who had wandered among tbe mountains and hid in their caverns, who had slept in the forest and squeezed themselves, one by one, through the pickets of the invader, each was now ottering romion ana pieaging fidelity to tbe other." Youth and age were banding together in a holy alliance that will never yield till our conatry and our flag, our Government and onr institutions are bathed in tbe sunlight of peace, and consecrated by the baptism of patriotie blood. There were their homes, and there too is a ; e right over there. And yet we were homeless," exiled I And why? Was it for crime? Had we violated any law .dad we offended the majesty of our Government, or done wroBg to any human being? Nay, none of these. Our fault, and oar only fault, was loving our country too well to oermit its betrayal. And for this the remorseles3 agents ot that "sum of all villainies, secession, drove us trom our families and firesides, and made us exiles and wanderers. Bat the time shall soon l come when we wanderers will go back Depend opon it, my friends, this monstrous iniquity canuot long subsist. Some bolt of Heaven's righteous vengeance, "red with uncommon wrath, will blast tbe traitors in their high estate." But whatever they do though they may ravage our State and make desolate our homes, though they convert the caves of our mountains into sepulchres and turn our valleys arid plains into graveyards, there is still one thing they cannot do they never can, while God reigns, make East Tennessee a land of slave .' How a Ullchtgsmder aud a. South Car- ; ollitiau fonght a Duel. We find the following in tbe Washington j correspondence to the Detroit Tribune; One of tbe Michiganders, being out on j advanced picket duty a few days ago, came j in sight of a South Carolina rebel, also on similar duty, when the following dialogue j and d el took place : Michigan- -'Hallo, South Carolinu, how are you to-day?" South Cauoi in a- "Pretty well, thank you ; how ara ml the Yankes?" M "So, so. What's the news over in j Dixie?" S "Nothing in particular, only we have j got some rifles now that will out shoot your j U "Don t believe the yarn. You secesh- j f bif.g too much. Can't fool your pap on j that trigger." S "Suppose, then, you and I just take ' a few private passes at each other to settle that little question. What say yon?'' &1 "Agreed. Forty rods, and tL;ce i shots each." j The question then arose as to tbe prelim- ; inaries, &c, there being no parties present j to act as seconds. These were, however, saon settled by Sooth Carolina, by yil'tn9 Jfictugan a gold dollar Jar thr- firtt three shots! The parties then took their positions, and South Carolina blazed away his three shots at Michigan, who stood erect and pointed out to Senth Carolina the direction each of bis shots had taken. Michigan escaped unhurt; and now same bis turn to fire. South Carolina, to his credit be it said, stood erect and received Michigan's first shot In the thigh, which brought htm down upon the grouc.1. "Hellow, old fellow, none of that," said Michigan, "no dodging the question, stand up like a man will yon ? You owe mi two d d good shots, and you must pay them, mind that or no more bragging about chivalry." But South Carolina, having one leg broken already by a shot from Michigan's unerring Minie musket, could not stand on both pegs of his chivalry, and therefore squatted, and consequently cheated our honest Michigander out of "two d d good shots," and thus ended this funny impromptu duel. Ttie Democratic Convention. We are pleased to find snch a paper as the New Albany Ledger, for years the leading democratic paper of Southern Indiana, denouncing tbe democrats who are endeavOring lito commit the democracy of Indiana to a policy in opposition to the war." The Ledger says : " It is snch influences as these, undoubtedly that have secured the call for a State convention in January, through which, it is hoped, resolutions in effect if not in words can be passed encouraging the rebels to persevere in their nnboly warfare against the Union and the Constitution resolutions designed to em harass tbe government in its operations by enlarging upon its objection able acts. Forewarned forearmed I On the 8th of January, twenty-five thousand patriotic Democrats will be in tbe ranks of the army, fighting for the Union and the Constitution. Let it be tbe duty of those who remain at home to see tbat no convention professing to be Democratic, pass resolutions stigmatizing their brethren in the field with muskets on their shoulders and knapsacks on their backs, undergoing the hardships of a winter campaign, as "traitors to the Democratic party." There is no necessity for this 8th of January Convention. The Democracy have not asked ir, arid do not want it. The call tor it ought to be immediately withdrawn. But if it is held, the seal of condemnation must be put upon those who are endeavoring to perveit it into a Rebel-Sympathizing Society. KaMsfTbe New York Sunday Times has the following " military definition:" "Why are our Governor's aids called his ttuft" Asked tbe wito of Ccrporal Dick : "Because," replied Hicbard, repressing a laugh, "Very nearly each one is a tUck."
