CORRESPONDENCE.

Politics in Pike. Petersburg, Sept. 16, 1866. Editors Journal : The ball still rolls in Pike, and the most glorious results are being realized. Messrs. Richardson and Willson, candidates for the State Legislature, spoke at Winslow on Friday last, and resulted in Richardson being entirely routed. Willson brought up the charges that are published in an affidavit, charging Richardson with belonging to the Sons of Liberty, and the order with resolving to kill notifying officers in 1864. Richardson, in the presence of the entire crowd, acknowledged the contents of the affidavit, and that he called the order a "Secret Democratic Club," to see how the party were getting along. Poor fellow, he imagined somebody was going to kill him, and called on the people for protection. The people of this County now have the thing in its purity. Richardson, by his own admissions, was a member of a treasonable organization, meeting together in midnight caucuses, plotting treason against the Government, and death to enrolling officers. Rut, I fear, I have occupied too much time in speaking of such a " dead dog" as Richardson is. On Saturday last, I went to Winslow on business, and found some fifty or sixty of the unterrified Democracy assembled to hear " Daniel, the Sycamore," speak. They had not heard of the change in time. (I guess they don't take any paper but the Enquirer.) That great and good man, (in a horn,) A. T. Whittlesey, of your city, in company with the Hon. T. A. Hendricks, passed through Winslow, and were strongly solicited to speak, but could not. The faithful (some in wagons and some la "creter back,") sorrowfully sought their homes, not having had their spiritual strength renewed. Old Rill Darr, the Copperhead candidate for Treasurer, says the Dimocrdtic majority in Pike will be seven or eight hundred, thinking no doubt of the days of Auld Lang Syne. Rarr, at the Sulphur Springs, said Congress had no right to tax Government bonds, but the State had; and, at Winslow, the State had no right, but Congress had. The result in Maine has rather set the Democracy staggering, but they have to hear from the Southwest, in thunder tones, before they can realize the storm. Send Will. C. Moreau up here. We would like to read those orders on dress parade. How true the language of Gov. Morton: ''Every disgraced officer." I see by the Journal that A. L. Robbinson has had his head cut off. When the Major made us a speech up here, in August last, he said he should have to be very careful how he talked about Andy, as he had an office belonging to said A. Johnson. Too bad, indeed, to think, with all the Major's care, that he is done for entirely. To-day, commences our Circuit Court, and during the week we will have speeches from Col. Allen, of Vincenne8, Gen. Kimball, and Jno. R. Cravens, together with the funeral of the late Democratic party, at Winslow. During the services Dan. Voorhees and Niblack will read some Psalms, and say a few words in memory of the departed. Look for good reports from Pike; we know whereof we speak, and can truthfully say, "The goose hangs high." Yours truly, Fixo. From Gibson County. Princeton, Ind., Sept. 17, '66. Editors Journal : Great is the rejoicing of the Democracy hereabouts. Daniel is coming to judgment. To-morrow the "Tall Sycamore of the Wabash" (Sycamores are " bully " for bee-gums) will make a grand entry into our county. The fatted calf is to be slaughtered, and the spring chicken to be prepared for Democratic mastication. The Committee of ladies (God bless them, if they are Democrats), are going to feed Daniel and his friends well. Whether the "Sacamore" makes any converts to "My Policy " or not in Gibson, he can felicitate himself upon the fact that he has got a good dinner in our county. Moreau will also "perform," and allow your humble correspondent to suggest that you, Messrs. Editors, have been guilty of the " unkindest cut of all " in publishing those orders concerning the "distinguished services" of the Major, and spreading them broad-cast over our county, just as the Major was about to lead the Gibson " boys in blue " over in solid

phalanx to the Democracy. Your action in this respect finds but one parallel, and that is in the pertinacity with which "The Clarion keeps thrusting an unpaid board bill long since barred by the statute of limitations into the gallant Major's face. Daniel and Moreau will arrive amid the shouts of many Democrats, which will make the welkin (viz, the depot,) ring. The " reverberating thunders" of a small piece of artillery will announce that the lion's den, with Daniel in it, has arrived. These fellows have plenty of powder which they raisedduring the war, and they are going to burn it now. A large delegation from " The Neck" with mottoes upside down, (they can't read over there, and one side up is as good as another, you know,) will greet the " coming crisis." The speakers will be " happy to meet so large and intelligent (joke) an audience. The day will pass off pleasantly, here and there decorated with a fight, and the Democrats will go home feeling that they have saved the Confederacy. The Democrat of next Saturday will announce to an eager and expectant world, that the demonstration was the J" grandest of Jthe season ;" will talkTabout the "ground swell," and wind up by a prophecy of eight or nine hundred thousand Democratic majority in Gibson. Such will be the programme. The true Union men are at work all over our county. They are not deterred by threats of another war. They are going to vote as they like, even though Democracy does talk about appealing from the ballot to the bullet. That threat did not frighten any one in 1860, and will be of no more avail in 1866. We are going to vote " it out on this line if it takes all summer," and we will be successful. Gibson will send some one to Indianapolis this winter to vote for the ratification of the Constitutional Amendment, Democratic ballots and threats of Democratic bullets to the contrary notwithstanding. The soldiers of our county, as a mass, will not contradict their bullets by their ballots. A few of them will go for Democracy, but the great mass of them know that the party which is supported by such men as Vallandigham, Voorhees, Niblack, Dick Taylor, Gen. Forrest, and the rebel army generally, is not the party for them, by whatever name it may be called. ?

Indiana Conference. September 15. Opening of religious services by Rev. G. D. Walker. After the reading of the minutes, the candidates for admission on trial were presented, and their cases acted upon. Dr. Monroe, Agent for the Church Extension Society, addressed the Conference for half an hour on the work. Many interesting incidents were given in the facta stated, showing the importance of the success of the work. In Tennessee we had not a minister before the fall of Nashville. Now we have an Annual Conference and a white membership of over twenty thousand. The Society, said the Doctor, have purchased a church at Greenville, only three doors from the residence of Andrew Johnson, and as that worthy has filled all the offices of the Government, from Alderman up to President, and has had his ambition satisfied, and desires nothing further from the public, and only seeks the opportunity by the consent of the people of retiring to private life, he can from the door of his own home, learn from loyal men the whole story of Moses, whose character he so much admires, and whose example he has aspired to follow. Dr. Monroe is a small man, quite gray, with fine voice and address, and is one of the finest preachers in the Methodist Connection. He uses the purest English and his elocution is almost faultless. In the afternoon, the centenary sermon was preached by Dr. Bowman. Your people know him, and all I need say is, the Doctor preached in his usual pleasing and forcible style. His advice against reading sermons, illustrated by hgl and political speaking, was very forcible. At night the Educational Anniversary was held. Addresses were made by Bowman. Monroe and Smart of Michigan. Strangers and Doctors of Diviuity, are thick as blackberries. The Sermon of Sabbath was by Bishop Thompson, on " The call to and work of the ministry." He read it, with the apology that he was too sick to extemporiee, and exhorting that none follow his example without

a like good reason. It was above eulogy.

This, Monday, is the last day of the session. Reports of Committees, Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, and reading of appointments, will complete the work. The session has been harmonious and pleasant. You will leceive the appointments with this. S. COTTON WARPS. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN TO ALL THOSE HAVING A SELF-ACTING.
