-fJLnox County. , -. At ameeting "of the Union soldiers JcFKnox County,-Indiana, held at the Court House in Vincennes June Sth,' 1866, Capt.-W. W.' Holiingsworth was chosen Chairman, Wm. H. Jackson appointed Secretary: itJ A committee of three was appointed to draft Preamble and Resolutions, who reported the following, which were unanimously adopted : Whereas, by the blessings of Almiehtv God. the doom which for a time overshadowed the destiny' of our beloved country, and threatened r-"the destruction f our cherished in- ' stitutions, has been dispelledand the accursed standard of rebellion has gone down into the dust before the crlorious banner of freedom, which has lighted alike the patriot of '76 and '61, through bloody conflicts to freedom and findependence ; and Whereas, it is the duty of every citizen of a free Republic to rush to the "m).J ' ;W fAuntrvjwhen it is assailed, whether by foreign ox jni foes, it is also the duty of the soldier when the imperilled constitution and , independence of his country has been I vindicated, to return f to the peaceful pursuits of civil life, yet ever vigilant and jealous oi the honor and integrity of its institutions. Resolved, .That as discharged soldiers and citizens of Knox County, we deem it a privilege and duty in- " spired by the recollection of the hardships we endured, the dangers we en countered, and by the memory of our fallen companions in arms, to form and establish an organization to be eomposed alone of soldiers and sail ors, who have received honorable dis s charges to perpetuate the friendships lormea in tne army ana navy, tor lull and free interchange of thought and feelings, and for consultation and de liberation as to the policy best caleu lated to preserve and maintain the unity and integrity of the government iur wuicu we uiu name wun a malignant foe upon manv a bloody field. Resolved, That while we hail with delight the return of peace, we have no disposition to indulge in manifestations of malignant triumph over a fallen enemy, whose prowess was manifested on every battle field, from the Susquehannah to the Rio Grande, and was only made to yield to the equal valor and superior endurance of tne hardy sons ot the JNorth.and while we are willing that the masses of

the insurgents who in good faith desire to return to their allegiance to the Union 3 shall be restored to the v l Cights of citizenship, we do claim and demand at the hands of those in authority, that treason shall be made

The late Chief Justice, present editor-in-chief of Milligan's organ, and . ...... candidate, with dubipus prospects, for ' 1 United States ' Senator, mourns with exceeding bitterness over the generacy of the present era. As long as r he was in office, he looked upon this world as a rather comfortable part of creation, and regarded Indiana as the

THE EV

spot I " supremely .blest;" but ? w everything wears a sombre hue.. According to Mb view, we have passed from a: state of "Arcadiansimplicity and virtue, to a saturnaia of crime, debauchery and fraud. While he drew the salary of a Judged and large perquisites from the treasury, in addition thereto, all was well, and crime was unknown-, except among Democratic officials, who did have an unfortunate tironensitv for using " public fund? for their personal advantage, and who grew rich by a system of financiering at the expense , of the State and Federal treasuries, which would have been designated by: the vulgar name of stealing if the operators had not been of the congrega tion of pohtieal saints. . We will not be sp presumptous as to intimate that honesty was not at a premium in the halcyon days of Dem ocratic supremacy, but it is a painful truth that there were larsre financial transactions during that blissful pe riod, which to ordinary minds had the ear marks of theft. Under the ad ministration of the Interior Depart ment by Jake Thompson, a name ever Wr to faithfaJ-Jieroorrats. 70,00O: Tin Iu Jiap-trot tunas, werteaanciered out of the Government vaults, and into the pockets of honest (?) Demo crats. Floyd, another 6tar of the first plundered the treasury to the tune of some millions, for the benefit of his favorites. ' all of whom were Demo crats without spot or blemish. In our own State, Democratic officials used public funds in private speculations, and proved defaulters . at the ex piration Of .their terms of office Judges amassed much wealth on meacpr Balnrips! so.hool funds were plun dered and dissipated; a magnificent swamp-land fund, which ought to have been preserved for the education of the children of the State, was di vided out among Democratic cormorants-,; rival factions of the lovely brotherhood charged each other with giving and receiving bribes for penitentiary locations and contracts, while forged stocks of the State, . to the amount of $2,440,000, were manufactured and put upon the market by the confidential , clerk of a Democratic agent of State. These trifling offenses are however, forgotten by the ex-Judge, in the overshadowing corruption which he imagines to exist at the present time. He will have it that all men are now rascals, except himself ; that boys become thieves as soon as they are able to walk alone, and that society at large is desperately corrupt. This lamentable state of affairs he ascribes to the fact that the Republicans have succeeded in the elections for the past five years ; that .Southern traitors have been subjugated, and a few Northern ones jugged to keep them out of mis chief. ; '' '. ' : " ' ;.. ; - vv nue we uu uot assent to ma con clusions thatf everybody but himself have become rogues ,we are constrained to say that when a Judge "of the Supreme Court sets the example of abstracting money from the public treasury, without authority , of law, and escapes, punishment therefor, a great inducement is offered to men in humbler positions to make money in an easy way. By the report of the Auditor of State, submitted to the Legislature of 1865, it appears that fcamuel J. Ferkins, a Judge of the Supreme Court, .obtained & warrant on State Treasury, February 20 1863, for $30, as compensation for 'holding the Rush Cir--hcuit Court: on -the .27 th. of August, 1863v another warrant for $30 for holding the Marion Court of Common Pleas. The only ground ion which these warrants coula have been issued was, that the Judge was a Democrat, and needed the money. v: J He did not . hold, a Circuit Court in Rush County, bo that that account was purely bogus. For holding the Court of Common Pleas in 'Marion County, he had no more right to compensation from the State. Treasury than his brother Democrats, had to Bteal the Swamp Land Fund. . Both drafts were in plain violation of the law, and to argue that he was not aware of, this fact when he drew the money, is to brand a Ohiet Justice ot the United states with unpardonable ignorance of the Statutes of the State. It the money was orawn under a mistaken view of the law, there has been ample time to rectify the blun der by returning it to the lreasury where it legally belongs. We have several times called attention to the Rush County case, but the $30 still freezes to the pocket of the ex-Judge, where it is very sure to remain. This was plundering the public on a small scale, but it was plunder nevertheless, and more . than the usual supply of impudence must be possessed by a man who can write daily homilies upon public and private degeneracy, while he holds even . the small sum of sixty dollars illegally abstracted from the State Treasury. Illinois State Journal. Financiering Extraordinary. The recent sales of gold in New York by order of the Secretary of the Treasury at rates and under circumstances which played directly into the hands of speculators at the expense of the Government, is creating much talk and comment all over the country. To the resolution of Coa gress demanding an expiation, Mr. McCulloch has made a reply in reference to the 'sales of gold belonging to the United States, since the first of May. It appears that during the month of 3Iay $35,430,000 in gold was sold by authority of the Secretary in New York - One P.. M. Myers, a member of the Board of Brokers of New York, was the agent by whom the sales were made. He was allowed the

AKSVTLLED AELY JOURNAL, TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1866,

usual commission, paid by private par ; ties, to-witi, onensighth of 1 one per cent, on the sales made for his" services. The rates at which the gold was sold were : $26,635,033 at 130L- $6,350,000 at 130, $50,000,000 at 130, $2,060,000, at 131, and $345,000 at 131i. w tMr7McCulloch states the general policy has-governed hint in directing the sale of gold as follows: -- ; ; The coin received Into the Treasury had been permitted for some time past to accumulate, to be held for the purpose of facilitating a return to specie payments, or to be disposed of in any emergency -which might render the disposition of it necessary for the protection of the national credit, or preventing such a depreciation of the national currency as would attect Injuriously the business of the country, and especially the interest of the laboring and producing classes. It has been my purpose, either by holding or selling, to keep the market 6teady until the industry of the country, diverted bv the war from its legitimate channels, should be brought again into full activity, and thus prepare the way for a permanent resumption. My Instructions, given at various times to Mr. Van Dyck, (the assistant Treasurer In New York,) have been to make no sales except for the purpose of supplying the Treasury with currency, or for meeting the necessary demands of commerce, or preventing successful combinations either to impair the national credit or to produce serious fluctuations in prices. The operation of this policy, Mr. McCulloc-h alleges, has generally been (satisfactory, until the recent attempt to keen down the Drice after the un favorable financial news from Europe. 1 hat attempt, and its failure, are thus described by the Secretary: The news reached New York late In the afternoon, but before the Stock Board had closed. It was too late to obtain Instructions from this Department, and sales were resolutely continued amid unparalleled excitement. Had thi r ; been time for Mr. Van lyck to advise me in regard to the news brought over by the Cuba, and to receive my instructions, the probability is that sales would have been suspended before so large an amount of coin had been disposed of. But In the light of facts since developed, I concur in the opinion expressed by him that a suspension of sales before the demand had been freely supplied, would have added to the excitement and resulted in a panic which would have produced serious and extensive disaster. I received the intelligence of the unexpected heavy sales with regret ; but I have since become satisfied that the action of the Assistant Treasurer and his agent was not only, under the circumstances, courageous but judicious. From this it would seem that Mr. McCulloch regards it as fortunate that the Assistant Treasurer was unable to procure instructions from him ; in other words, that he (McCulloch) would have advised a course which he is now confident would have resulted in a panic and led to serious financia disaster." The Secretary, concluded his communication by stating, that but for the unexpected sales in Feb ruary ($15,000,000 were then sold) and May, " the services of Mr. Myers (the agent) who for months had neglected his own business in looking after the public interests at the gold room would have been a gratuity to the Government." It was exceedingly Iiublic spirited in Jlr, iuyers to negect his own business, but as he has realized for his services the snug little sum of $60,000 odd for commissions alone, the public will be likely to think he has been sufficiently remu 'nerated. ; , Besides the commissions. . how ever, on the sales, the actual profits of somebody on the transaction is the difference-between 130L "at Which the gold was sold, and say 141 to which it rose immediately after, which on$32,000,000 is about $3,500,000 in currency. We have no information -as to who bought the gold and realized the profit, but it is clear that 3Ir. Myers, and those associated with him, had s magnificent opportunity to make i fortune at the expense of the Govern meni oui oi ms saies. iur. Aiyers is a brother-in-law of Secretary McCul loch, and this may explain tie reason why the Secretary is ; now so well "satisfied with the action of his agent but the people cannot help thinking that the whole . matter has an ugly look about it. . Richmond (Va.) Enquirer. Greeley on the Liberation of Mr. H3T18. The interest which Horace Greelev is taking in the liberation of Mr. Davis is not understood by those who do not understand Mr. Greeley. He is a man of coarse but kind nature, of crotchety but strong mind, of wrong opinions, but right sentiments, and who likes to tell the truth and do gen erous things when he can afford it. His conduct is to be interpreted in the light of a great failing. It is not the failing of which " Brother John told " Brother Jim " - when urged by the latter to tell him his faults: ihe fact is, brother Jim, yon will lie!" It is not the failing of Mr. Jones who was a clever man, but would drink for Greeley is a total abstinence man. Greeley is sound on many great political principles, and he makes no secret of them ; but like Brother Jim, with his temptation, and Mr. Jones with his, Greeley has a besetting sin that dominates him completely. He surrenders truth, honor, conscience, political commitments and political consistency everything to the nearo I He has openly proclaimed the right of secession, lie denounces war. He sympathizes with all the humanitarian movements. But when the negro comes up, until he is 6ettledJ for, Greeley forgets or tramples upon everything he ever' said, and . every oath he ever took. Hence he bounded on the war, which, according to his own doctrines, was unjust and wicked, and took his share of the responsibility of slaughtering a million of souls. He cared not for the orthodoxy of secession, the beauties of peace, the demands of honor the negro swallowed up every thing. Having got the negro, Mr. Greeley does not wish to harm Mr. Davis. He does not wish the South any more of harm, any more violation of our rights, anymore sacrifice of our froperty, any more sacrifice of our ives, than are necessary to carry out

his remaining policy about the negro.

a baubee for his duties, though, bound to them by oaths, or for our rights, no matter how guarantied- Coneede-him that; "and he becomes a , man again insteadLof a monster. His creed teaches him that the seizures, proscriptions-; taxation without representation, to which the South is exposed, are utterly monstrous; but he wants to extort something out of them for the negro before he will give them up. His platform is "universal amnesty for universal suffrage," which means that he is in favor of devilling us no more, if we will let the negro vote, and of devilling us till we do. In shopt, where the negro is concerned, Greeley is as violent, cruel, and remorseless a politician as ever cursed a community ; but take the negro off his brain, and he is rational, placable, genial and Senerous. Fortunately for Mr. Davis, is liberation does not affect the negro question, and hence Greeley is remitted tQ .his sanity and his better impulses; and hence his generous efforts in behalf of Mr. Davis, for which the South will give him the appropriate credit and remembrance.

DR. JOHN BULL'S CO 31 POUND Cedron Bitters ! THE LATEST AND MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY Of THE 19th , CENTURY. NO MAS'8 NAME IS MORE INtimately connected with the history ot Materia Medica in the United States, or more favorably known as a pioneer of medical discovery, than that of DR. JOHN BULL, of Louisville, Kentucky, His inimitable preparation of Sarsaparilla has long stood at the head of the various compounds of that valuable drug. His Compound of Wild Cherry has be come a household word throughout the west and South. Hi9 Worm Lozenges, in less than a year after their introduction, attained a reputation as wide-spread as the continent of 1 North America. But the crowning glory of his life re mained to be attained In his latest discovery, or rather combination, for he does not claim to be the diseoverer of CEDRON, which is the basis of the Bitters now offered to the public. That honor belongs to the native inhabitants of Central America, to wnom its virtues nave been Known ror more than two hundred years. Armed with it, the Indian bids defiance to the most deadly malaria, and handles without fear the most venomous serpents. It is a belief with them that while there Is breath lettin the bOtSy the CEDRON is potent to cure, no matter what the disease may be. While Dr. Bull is not prepared to indorse this extravagant pretension, he is nevertheless satisfied, from a thorough examination of the evidence relating to its virtues, that a a remedy and preventive for all j diseases arising from exposure, either to changes of weather and climate, or to the miasmatic influence, it stands without a rival, and justly deserves the reputation it has so long enjoyed In Central America and the West Indies. In DYSPEPSIA, and its attendant train of symptoms, it acts more like a charm than a medicine. There is nothing in the range of Materia Medica that can for a moment bear a comparison wfth it in this disease.- t . ' ' ' A full account of this wonderful plant may be found in the eleventh edition of the U. 8. Dispensatory, on pages 13fc7 and 1388.,-; . . ' ;, ;--;.-- A series ot experiments, in which Dr: Bull has been for years engaged, has Just been brought to a successful termination. ! and he is now enabled to offer to the public a combination of Cedron with other ap proved tonics, the whole preserved in the beRt oualitv of ooprer-diatilled Hnnrhnn 1 wmsKy. wmcn ne wmcn ne is confident has no equal in the world. He mltrht furnish a volume of certificates, but the- public has long since learned to estimate such things at their true value. The safest plan is lor every one to test for himself the virtues of a new medicine. Give the CEDRON BITTERS one trial. and you will never use any others. -, It Is not necessary to publish & lone list of diseases of which the Cedron Bitters are a specific, In all diseases of the Stomach, Liver, Kidneys, or Bowels; In all Affections of the Brain, depending npon De rangement of the Stomach and Bowels; in Gout, Rheumatism, and Neuraleia. and in FEVER AND AGUE, it is destined to su persede all others. It not onlv diseases, but prevents them. ! A wineglassful of the Bitters, taken an hour before each meal, will nhviat thp ill f eueci oi me most unnealthy climate, and screen the person taking it against dis eases, under the most trying exposure.
