The lit of teachers, for the Public Schools of this city, which we publish iu our City News, will be examined with interest by very many of our citizeus. and especially by the thousands of children who are soon to be under their charge. ' .' Titf. Curirr has not, from all we . 1 S can find in its last two or tnree issues, heard from the Maine election. The same dispatches sent us from the telegraph office doubtless reached that paper, yet it ha3 studiously kept them out of its columns. It is too early in the campaign to commence the task of suppressing the election return Our Daily subscription list from the adjoining towns is constantly increasing. New clubs came in yesterday from Vincennes and Princeton. The Journal reaches all towns in advance of the Cincinnati papers, has full telegraphic reports, and is much the better adapted to the wants of the people of Indiana than papers published in other States. For the good of the cause, and as a favor to us, let our friends do what they can to extend our Daily circulation. Letters from Governor Morton and General Ben. Harrison. In order that our readers may be assured that there is no mistake in the announcement that our distinguished Governor, and the gallant young General Harrison, will certainly be present on the 25th instant, we publish their letters accepting the invitation of the Soldiers of Vanderburgh County. Executive Department. ) Indianapolis, Sept, U, 1866. Gentlemen: Your letter, together with a copy of the Resolutions passed at a meeting of the Soldiers of Vanderburgh County, inviting Governor Morton to address them at an early day, is at hand, and I am directed to inform you tfhat the Governor has accepted your kind Invitation, and will visit your city for that purpose on Tuesday, September the 2Tth. I am also directed by the Governor to thank you for the compliment contained In the Resolutions passed by your meeting. By order of the Governor. W. R. Hallow ay, Colonel and A. D. C. Col. J no. W. Foster, ) Col. Jno. Rheinlandek, y Committee. Capt. Esslingek, ) Evansville, Ind. Indianapolis, Ind., 1 Sept. 11, 18C6. j Gentlemen : Your invitation to address a Soldier's Meeting at Evansville, on the 25th Inst., has been received. I accept the invitation, and will be present at your meeting. Very truly yours, Benj. Harbison. CoL J. W. Foster and others, Evansville, Ind. General Grant. It will be seen by the dispatches that there is a studied effort made by the President and his satraps to have, the people believe that Gen. Grant indorses his political policy, and is opposed to the action of Congress. The reports of the Associated Press, however, must be received with many grains of allowance, as it is well understood the agents traveling with the President are under the careful supervision and control of Secretary Seward, and nothing passing under his eye must be prejudicial to the President. The people must remember that General Grant is subordinate to the President, and as such he is not justified by military regulations and etiquette in uttering a word or manifesting an act of disrespect or opposition, and General Grant is too good a soldier to violate, even in spirit, military decorum. Loyal men should not expect it. As appropos to the morning dispatches, and to enable our readers to form something like a correct opinion of the General's views, we refer them to a speech of General Logan in another place, delivered at a meeting presided over by Hon. E. B. Washburne. If there are any two men in this country likely to understand General Grant, they are Logan and Washburne. General Butler. The Courier makes a great ado about the coming of General B. F. Butler to this city to speak during the canvass. It is better informed in reference to the movement than the Union Committees, if sueh is the case, as they have not received auy information upon the subject. Doubtless it would much rejoice the Union men of this section of the State, to heara speech from this able politician and orator, but there is no pre.-eut prospect of haviug such a wish ratified. The Conn'ir's object evidently is to direct attention from the true character of the infamous blasphemer, Brick Pomeroy, who is advertised for this city, on the 2nd of October, under Copperhead auspices.

The Blsturbance at Indianapolis

As was anticipated the Copperhead papers are endeavoring to make the most possible out of the disturbance at the President's reception at Indianapolis. There is no difference of opinion, even among the opponents of the President, as to the impropriety of preventing the delivery of his speech. The interruption was not creditable to the city, nor to the men engaged in it. Mr. Johnson, or any other citizen, was entitled to a hearing, and the conduct of the crowd in front of the Bates House cannot be excused, ei ther by his Cleveland or St. Louis speeches, both of which were insulting to loyal men and disgraceful to the President. Still his harangues are only damaging to his owu reputation and the cause he advocates. We do not defend the disorderly crowd, which shouted down the President of the nation. But there is one fact, which is undoubtedly correct: the first vio lence which led to the bloodshed, originated on the part of the Copper heads, and the victims of the disturb ance were Republicans. Had it not been for the ruffianism of Democrats, the crowd would have dispersed with out the loss of life or the shedding of blood ; but it was too good an opportu nity not to be improved. We were in Indianapolis the morn ing after the occurrence, and found the leading members of the Republican party unanimous in deprecating the action of the crowd in refusing the President a hearing. And we know that there is no one who more sincerely regrets and discountenances such conduct than Governor Morton The Governor had been absent all th previous week, attending the Phila delphia Convention, and did not ar rive in the city until Tuesday, after the President had left for Louisville Copperhead papers are entirely unwarranted in charging him with com plicity in the affair, or any knowledge whatever of it In looking at the affair, it is not however to be forgotten that Mr. Johnson has repeatedly declared that he does not appear before his audiences as the President of the United States, but as a private citizen, " the humble individual;" and, to use the language of his speech at Indianapo lis, on Tuesday morning, he was " upon this tour of travel, probing the feelings, of the people, to see whether his policy was acceptable to them.' He has declared that he eared not for dignity, and has repeatedly placed himself upon an equality with the brawlers in the crowds of our cities, bandied epithets with them, and made use of the most contemptible phrases. He has in sulted the opinions of the dominant party of the North by calling its mem bers traitors, cowards, and govern ment swindlers. He has debased and dishonored his office, and made him self the butt of popular laughter and contempt. Under sueh circum stances, it could hardly be expected of any popular assembly to listen patiently and quietly to abuse and slander even from, the President of the United States. The wrong and the mistake, however, was in refusing to hear him at all. His speeches are only injuring himself, and, as a matter of policy, we think he ought to be allowed to make them wherever he goes. Tbe Cause Abroad. We are in receipt of a private letter from a gentleman of prominence, at Washington City, recently one of the President's office-holders, and well known in Indiana far his excellent political judgment. There are few men who have better means of information in reference to the elections. He writes us that Pennsylvania is certain for the Union ticket by 30,000 majority, and probably more. He says we will lose nowhere, unless it may be in the city of New York, where the office-holders control a large vote and use the Government money freely; but whatever we may o'-. there, will not, in any degree endanger the Empire State. This letter was written before the overwhelming defeat of Copperheadism in Maine. That election will have its effect, for good, in both of those States. Another ally has joined the corps of rebel villifiers. Greene, of the Vincennes Sun, who has some unpleasant reuiiuiscences of the boys of theC5rh afcHenderson, cornea to the assistance ot PjONNisand the Heudcrsou JVrtts man. We don't know where they could have found a more fitting associate. We suppose he will confine himself to the same warfare which Dennis uses so liberally and exclusively, a fusilade of

words. We have heard ot nothing more damaging on the part of the Colonel. Our readers will properly construe our silence in reference to the literature of this trio. GLORIOUS MEETING AT VIN CENNES. 12,000 People in Attendance. OGLESBY, KIMBALL, HAYNIE. The rrand demonstration at Vin cennes yesterday was a great success. The outpouring of thfcpeople was even greater than the soldiers, who had the meeting in charge, anticipated. It is estimated that from 10,000 to 12,000 people were present; some even placing the number as high as 15,000. The Crescent City Band, from Evansville, was in attendance, and contributed much to the interest of the occasion. Our crowded columns this morning will not permit us to give an extended notice of the meeting. Major-General Kimball spoke in the forenoon, Gov. Oolesby, of Illinois, in the afternoon, and General Haynie at night. All the speeches were well received and very effective, but the speech of the day was that of Governor Ogles by. He carried his audience along with him in a perfect storm of enthusiasm. His moving appeals, his sparkling gems of humor, and his scathing review of Andy Johnson were most rapturously applauded. The whole effect of the meeting was excellent, and from it we hope for much good in that region, where it is so much needed. If we could form anything like a correct opinion from the meeting, yesterday, we would Bet old Knox down as safe for the Union ticket. It is almost too much hope, but our friends there are at work, and are working to defeat the Copperhead ticket in that county, and there is reason to believe they will be successful. Since the Maine election, we look for large gains and triumphs everywhere. General Burbridge, whose life was lately threatened by the Copperjohnson rebels in case he returned to his home in Kentucky, Is how In our city, and talks something of making Madison his future home. We are sure he will be welcomed here, where no fears need be apprehended of his being mobbed for his firm devotion to the Union. Madison Courier. It is a sad commentary on the state of affairs in Kentucky, that one of its own native born citizens, who has served his country faithfully, and with distinction, cannot in safety live within its borders, simply because he has fought for the flag of his country. General Bdrbridge is not the only soldier, of the late army, who is compelled to leave that State for that reason. There are hundreds of native Keutuckians in Indiana, who are exiled from the home of their birth, for no other reason than their devotion to their country. It is fast becoming a crime for a Kentuckian to have borne arms in defence of the Union. And it is one of the legitimate fruits of the President's ruinous policy. Business and Politics. We commend the .'ollowing article from the Ciucinnat' Commercial to the attention of our temporary and the politicians of this city, who have been making their threats to the Evansville merchants, that they would lose their Southern trade, if they did not give up their political principles, and vote the Copperhead ticket. We have heretofore called the attention of the business public to the subject, and give the subjoined article as in unison with our expressed views on this matter of political merchandise. The Louisville paper's namesake in this city can apply the Commercial's article to itself, with much pertinence: playkd out. The Louisville Courier of yesterday had a dismally paltry editorial under the caption of " Cincinnati refuses to honor the President." After a number of paragraphs, pathetic, impassioned, and virtuously indignant by turns, the real ammus of the article creeps out in these miserable concluding sentences : " Louisville can boast of as extensive stocks, and her merchants are willing ty sell at as reasonable prices as Cincinnati, and she is at the same time true to the. Union and friendly to the South. Southern men will here meet friends, true and honest friends not hypocrites who, while they are selling them a stock of goods, mumble out their sympathy for the South, and the next day vote lor a Jacobin for Congress, or for a Councilman who wUl Insult the President because lie is their friend, but because they really and in truth friends and well-wishers. Let Southern merchants make a note of it." We susnect, Mr. Courier, that Southern merchants will make the same reply to this that they gave your fervent appeals when you were vagabondizing irom one city to another, trying to prop up the falling fortunes of the rebellion. They will follow their own interests not yours, nor the Confederacy's, nor Louisville's. It Is

palpably false that Louisville has asox-J

tensive stocKs as Cincinnati, aim iui ira merchants can sell as cheaply as ours. But this Is not toe point. Trade Is one thing here politics another. Southern merchants know that there are bargains for them in our opulent and teeming busikk miRrters. the urowth and prosperity of which make Louisville look aghast, but we add that In the matter or pontics me Southern dealer, like any other, must take pot luck. The merchants of Cincinnati don't sell their opinions with their calicos and hats, and we join the Courier in making the fact known. Let Southern mer chants make a note of it. If tney preier io o Louisville a matter or twenty percenttnr the somewhat unsalable article ot "sympathy,1' let them wade In.atidfceep a sharp eye on their ledgers. For the Journal. Indiana Conference. Yesterday the ministers that compose the Conference came in from all directions. Every train brought its delegation, till by 7 p. m. nearly all were in. Had your readers gone into the M. E. Church in the afternoon, they would have found here and there, over the room, small classes of young preachers being carefully examined upon the course of theological study prescribed for them previous to receiving clerical orders. At night the annual sermon to the Conference was preached by Rev. H. j&ilmore, A. M. His theme was: First St. Paul, the model Minister; and Second The central idea of the Gospel ministry. Brother Gilmore is chaste in language and manner, with a decidedly poetic cast of mind. The hearty responses during the sermon and prayers were eminently characteristic of Methodist preachers. The M. E. Church building, remodeled and thoroughly refitted du ring the last year, is capacious, comfortable, and unusually neat. Its pure white walls, and elegantly painted wood-work and windows, give it an air of cheerfulness that is delightful. Conference was opened this morning at 8 o'clock, by Bishop Thompson, reading John 15th, " I am the true vine," &c; and by singing 107th Hymn, beginning And are we yet alive, , And see each other's face." After this, prayer. He read extracts from the Book of Church Discipline, and commented upon them. The Bishop is a small spare man of fifty, looking pale and feeble. His language is exceedingly simpl and chaste, and his ideas sparkling as diamonds. The roll was called, nearly all members being present and responding to their names. None have died during the last year. The forenoon was occupied in appointing the Committees, hearing reports from the Various examinations on studies of the candidates for orders, statements of the fiuancial condition of the book concern, and the examination and passage of the characters of the members of the Conference. Tonight the Annual Missionary Sermon will be preached by Rev. C. N. Sims. About one hundred preachers are present. No strangers here yet. A few members seem to have a weakness for speech-making. Their speeches are generally tolerated rather than eniy?fe,iiier. sili a j ) Mii u ; "V?; A motion to take a recess for twenty minutes, while the procession of the Union meeting passed, was rejected. But there will be an opportunity, which most of the preachers will avail themselves of, to attend the speaking this afternoon. Lay Delegates are having more active work this session than I have ever known before. They are assigned to several responsible and important committees. Conference sits from 8 to 11. A. M. More anon. S. Vincennes, Sept. 12. A Word from one of the " Bojs in Bine." We have been favored with the perusal of a private letter from a Soldier, who suffered much during the late war, and was for a long time in the hospital in this city. He was appointed to office and a very important one, too by the lamented Lincoln. He says: I was at Chicago last week and saw the Presidential party. It reminded me of a hog shearing: " Great cry and little wool.'' There was a great crowd but " my policy" made no friends. Our autumn elections will show them how the Western voters support the Administration. Colfax is doing a noble work. God bless him. A, few uch laen as he will so direct the loyal masses of the great Northwest, that our country will be rescued from the hands of traitosr without another war v Ti I am still holding office and doing my duty, but look for the " my policy axe every day.
