f the Members of the Common Council of the City of EvansTille, and of the Board of Commissioners of Tanderburgh County. JJ iNTMEMrit'TrecenTeting of the branch of the Grandt Army of " th Republio which is 'located in the city of EvansTille, and composed of a large number of the discharged soldiers in Vanderburgh County,! a committee was appointed to address ypu arid 'the public atf large on the cot -dltion of that class of our late com-' who - were disabled, ana the families of those who died in the late War. During the'pasl-few months the organization referred to has done nrach in the way of furnishing aid in cashes of sickness and destitution, but frefm the fact that the' great majority of its members are in indigent, circumstances, their ability and resources are wholly inadequate to meet the wants cf those whom they desire to relieve. '. ?' ; ;,:;;..v:, " -( . .We proceed," then, to" the discharge of. this duty, by an earnest request that in your official capacity, you may take some early and favorable action to furnish material aid to this class of persons, and when it is impossible, frcm the restrictions imposed by law upon the action ;of your: respective Boards, to afford relief at public expense, we earnestly solicit your influence as private' citizens in their behalf. We might readily excuse ourselves from resorting to any, semblance of argument to convince you that this class of our late soldiery have undisputed claims to both' public . and private consideration as it might be coristruedjinto a reflection upon, your "patriotism, or an imputation upon your umanity. ,. i ,,., It is generally conceded that their claims arejenfdrced; by the most solenyxjobligations of. public faith,, by all the dictates of humanity, by every precept of our holyreligion. The debt which the country owes to them is perpetual, and it should ' be Tm"emhered . that it cannot be canceled , by the most liberal - eulogy', of the 'press;' or by. acknowledgments ,f gratitude in public issemblies.'V.7;y;' But a' short time ago a rapacious enemy ;was' ! at your very threshold. Defiant and powerful . they sought the nation's life they Bought to destroy your commerce--to sack and pillage your city, and to turn your families houseless and homeless into the streets. ..... ... Since that time the wheel of fortune has made an eventful turn. Those for whom we make this just appeal, abandoning their homes and the avocations of peaceful industry, throw themselves as a shield between your homes and impending danger. For years they were the only power under heaven that could give you protection ! Many went down in the contest, and many: more, upon whose breasts the waves of treason had spent their wildest fury, returned to homes of poverty and want, disabled for life and forever barred froin entering the lists as competitors in those branches of trade and industry to jvhich' they were formerly adapted j'm ; Others, whose, interest? were eqally great, and whose duty jta their country equally '-obligatory, continued to pursue their respective occupations, enjoying the security. afforded them by their fellow-citizens in the public service, and many of them growing rich on a commerce "which owed its very existence to the sacrifices of those who had gone into the army ! ': . 4 ' . We do not intend in these remarks to spea'-in disparagement of the eminent services rendered by our own patriotic fellow citizens at home. Many of them pursed the path of duty with an eye single to the public good, and their services were an essential compliment to the services performed by the, army in the field. : . ' But it is nevertheless true that our path" of public duty led many of our late comrades to disability for life, and left many of their children fatherless, while those who were obedient to that call of duty, which confined them to their " business and their homeseDjoyed 'security ; of person, exemption from all the rigors of war, and a - season of , unexampled pro pperity. "' We deem it unnecessary to extend our address to any great length ; but confess ' ourselves ', most ;anxious f,td secure the !, favorable action of your honorable" Board, as well ' as of all ; good people,' in behalf, of this deserv-" ing jclass of ,our citizens,,, whose advp-;

cates we are; and whose" interests ' we cannot abandon', i . !,' X'r ... .' Jit'u There are more,'; of these , in yourj midst..' than';,' are 1 commonly kqo.wp' Occupying the cheapest 'tenements in -the outskirts of the c?ty,' or in ' other

localities of town and country unfrequented by those who are able and would be disposed to pay them a just debt,1 andtoo proud to appear at'your doors as the solicitors of charity, they live to-day' with : no certainty, that their children, will, have bread tijmorrow.'";., v 0.ii A i-m." -vt"r It is true that our government has in many cases allowed pensions to this class of our late soldiers ; but in such times'as, these $15 a "mnth id a small compensation ' fr Vibe loss of .a right arm or a leg, and in those cases where the pensioner has not sustained the loss' of, jlimb, the allowance is so small, and. the '; law's delay" in procuring itso great,! that it affords but little relief in the present condition of the markets. fJ Many of these persons are well qualified for some kinds of useful employment, and ask no other favor than to be employed. Others need clothing and books for their children, td enable them to attend the public schools. From the well-known ..patriotism and humanity of those to whom we address: ourselves, we confidently expect that your action in this matter will be characterized by a noble and a generous spirit; that your aid will be given, not in charity, but in the name of justice, as ja pledge.' of your devotion to the great cause for which patriotic men have been wont to "pledge their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honors." (i ... "V" ; And," in addition to the official action ' which , we solicit, we , urge upon our good citizens to seekihese persons at their humble . homes.! I The crutch, the cane, the' '"armless sleeve,'" the little' boy and girl, whose father went io the war,f but returned, not again--r these will speak- to' you; with ari eloquence which we1 ' cannot cdmmahd, and prompt you to 'deeds which ,will secure. toyou the warmest benedictions of these heroic children of the Re-1

public! Bt the Committee.', My Policy In the South, A'gentleman j lately connected with a court martial setting in Raleigh, N. C.j ' stated to the ' editor of Harper's Weekly, that everyday during about a, month, while the State, Court was recently sitting at . Raleigh, there was a'crowd of nearly five hundred people outside the court house witnessing the public whipping of colored men , as fast as they were convicted and sentenced by the court; and to see ..the victims, of the same court Bold at auction for a term of years, three years being the usual term. And this - is but an instance of that which has become widely prevalent in. the rebel States, under Mr. , Jobnson's intervention. . ' ' , ' : !-, This is the business which the order of Gen. Sickles forbade ; and it was to restore this business that Acting President Johnson, rescinded that order. This is that which Johnson calls "my policy.", To thus restore all the cruelties of slavery, without any of the ameliorating influences of ownership, is what the Southern peo?!e call acquiescing in the situation, 'd' leave them to exercise these barbarities upon the loyal blacks, sharpened by their brave sense of revenge uponus by the same operation, is their idea of magnanimity on the part of the North, which they think is all that is requisite. to complete restoration.1" ' " ; ' ,' " i The Northern Confederate Democrats laugh at this restoration . of the State k right of whipping and selling negroes;-and all the fiends of the infernal regions may well .lauprh' with them. J There are professed Republican journals who allow that Johnson's interference to protect all these rebel cruelties is from a regard for the Constitution. There are several of this sort who think that this is a thing to give immunity to human wrongs, and that it is radically incendiary to suppose that it can protect rights. To many the sole idea of a constitutional riht is the right to wrong men. A military triumph over the rebellion, which surrenders the loyal supporters of the Government to such barbarous codes, is indeed that failure which the Vallandigham-McClellan platform declared the war to restore the Union to be. A reconstruction which permits this iniquity, would Erove that the war was a waste of lood and treasure in a conflict which had ho principle at issue. " Better have had Southern brutality, domineering us without all this cost, than to end this' sacrifice of a quarter of a million of lives and incalculable millions of property, by submitting to it at last. Cin. Gazette. ' . , Parents and their Children. 'There is nothing better, nothing safer,, nothing so sure of bringing forth the right fruit in the endr than truth. Telf your child the truth! T-i! Tell him that obedience requires unpaid sacrifices. Tell him - th:t ' ho need not expect that a purse of gold will drop into 'his hnd the moment that, he . denies himself a coveted pleasure: 'Tell him that the path of duty is often terribly hard, and seldom leaasio an oil sell, or a seat in ConI'gressror to a rowp stone front house. Tell him that virtue sometimes brings thorns enmities,! neglect; But te!l hiin"; that .if is "iirtue,'',neverthele.; the'iliiighterit, '.the noblest,'' and l.tho 1est of, gifts,! an "whatever comes of good neb's, it is the one tbin-j desira"-

Make him feel that obedience is pleasure that goodness 'is delight, that love is altogether lovely, and.be will 'notexpect to be paid for the smallest service and be tempted to (withhold a kindness when he is notsure of a reward. Parents must cease appealing to the appetites ' of their children ! if they would have them anything but selfish and sensual. ai riViT NEWMIJSIC j STORE. .. :,; . ! --ii
