' , IadepDdeBce Day. . 1 i 1 . . To-day we eelebrate the anniTersary of the Declaration of American Inde pendente and of the establishment of Republican Institutions and Republican Government jTbe Bet olatianary fathers fought seven wearisome Tears to make good their Declaration " that all men are created qsal; that they are endow ed by their Creator with certain nnalien able' rights, and that among these are life, 1 berty and the pursuit of happiness." We glory in their heroism, their endurance, their wisdom,' and their love of j ustica. Patient and self-relying, they straggled, agalflst the most adverse circumstances aniil sQccess crowned their endearors. No disasters appalled them, no difficul ties discouraged them, no sufferings overcame them. With unshaken ooni dence in God and the justice of their cause, they never flagged in their determination and I efforts . until those who would oppress them' gave op the struggle to despair and acknowledged their In dependence. - . , , i. Uut, to-day, the time honored anm ersary is gilded with a new glory; is hallowed with yet more sacred associa tiona. It should be obserred with more than ordinary sacrjdnesss and joy, for it is the anniversary of a nation redeemed regenerated , and disenthralled. " The children have proven themselves worthy descendants of a glorious ancestry; for while the fathers and mothers of the revolution won onr independence against the combined power of European des pots and mercenary soldiers, their sons and daughters have preserved the Government committed to their care; have given vitality to the glorious truths enunciated in the Declaration of Inde pendence, and demonstrated to a gainsaying' and disbelieving world that the strongest government on earth is the freest, and that .Republican institutions are cot only the source of the greatest happiness to the people, bat the strongest, the grandest the most elevating yet known in the history of nations and peo ples. And how have these children of natriot aires nroren th'.ir werthiness of 1 the blessings bequeathed to therr It is not for ns to enumerate the evidence. Ia almost every hamlet, every village, every town, every city, througheut the length and breadth of the land, thous ands will assemble to-day to hear the story of a cation's sufferings and ana. t ion's triumph. Treason and traitors, patriotism and patriots, will have justice done their deeds and memories by the mo it eloquent tongues and gifted minds in the land. The courage of our soldiers, the self-sacrificing spirit of our women, the faith and resolution of the people, an 1 the perfidy and fiendishness of rebels, wilt all be portrayed in colors that will imprint, themselves every , heart. Tears for the aoble thousands who have : fallen will course their way down sorrowing cheeks, mingled with smiles of welcome to the returnine- heroes, who i,.:: .... tWnoh.h. .tnrm. of hat. ne ana weaker, ra preserve m. u..--tions of their fathers.. We hand over the occasion and the day to the orators and the people. Indiana looks well to the Interests oT MeF Soldiers. We have been favored with a look at the books of the Indiana Military Agency in this city. A clear register of all soldiers that have been in our hospitals at this Poet since January 1st, 1863, is kept that of the Indiana soldiers, in book procured by the State; that of other Slates, in a book furnished by the agent at this Post, CoL Horhbrook, Every one conversant with the fact knows that the 'hospitals here have" been well sup plied with sanitarj stores, the Military Agent acting as Sanitary Agent alio. Since October, 1S64, this agency has attended to the collection of claims for soldiers andpensions for widows. The number of claims made is one hundred ! and fifty-four1, and the amount of money collected foots up seventeen thousand six hundred dollars, at a cost to the soldier or widow of one-eighth, of one per cent .This is cot all. Corpse have been brought home through its agency, by which the relatives have saved onehalf the expense had tbey have gone for tfihir" dead" heroes. Indianiaus have fought well, and the women of Indiana, God bless them, have done well in pro - viding sanitary stores for, the sick and wounded. ' Truly. Indiana , has cared rwell for her soldiers, and they have had
fpll
grest care for her reputation. - When we travel, we (h&ll write with a bold hand:' "From Indiana." ' We are informed by the agent that
he is yet making ont application, for bc& pay, boanty : and arrears of pay, pensions, or in fact any thing that can be dona fer the soldier or the soldier s widow, and all free of charge, except express charges. Time to Wake Vp. Kdttort of t&a Journal : On several occasions, recently, you have called the attention of jour read ers to the fact that Indianapolis has commenced the wind work on three proposed Railroads from that city. One down the valley of the West Fork of White river to Vtncennes, where it will connect with the Ohio t Missis sippi and the Evansville k Crawfbrdsville. and a proposed road, on which some work has been done, from Vincea oes to Cairo. Another down the valley of the East Fork of White river to Ev ansville, where it will connect with the several Paeket Lines of steam boats, and the proposed rajlroad from Hender son; Kentucky, to Nashville, Tennessee, on which a large amount of work has bee done; and the third, an Air Line Road to Chicago. Indianapolis has com menced the wind work; and wind work is all" she will do if it will answer her purpose. Eight railroads terminate there now, and she has invested in them very little else than wind. ' She had the' benefit of these eight roads before and during the war, and in spite of her dis advantages they have made her by far the most populous and wealthy city in Abe State. These roads secured to her a vast , amount of business of every kind which otherwise would necessarily lave gone elsewhere. Without them she would to day be a small village in a wilderness. For fonr years ' past a daily average of perhaps ten thousand persons (not citizens) have sojourned there, and expended daily from twenty to sixty thousand dollars. . Some times a single regiment of men would expend ten or fifteen thousand dollars in a day. Now this stimnlns is mainly withdrawn. Peace has come upon the city suddenly and unexpectedly, like a blighting frost in midsummer, and she begins to wither and droop like a frost-bitten " jimpsoa weed," and she will continue to do so until she is reduced to the dimensions of the regular peace establishment, unless other customers can be found to supply the place of the ten theasasd who suddenly departed on the advent of peace. The three proposed railroads would accomplish this object, and noth ing else will ; and Che Straight Line road to this city, in connection with the Hen derson and Nashville road, woald be worth more to her than both the ethers. . With the aid of her railroads Chicago, only about half as old as Evansville, has in a few years become one of the lead ing cities of the continent Without them she would now be scarcely as large as Evansville. Had the citizens of Evansville con sulted their interests and exerted them selves as they should have done, the Straight Line road to Indianapolis, and the Henderson & Nashville road would have been completed before the war, and full one-half of the business growing out of the war, which was done at Louisville, would have been done here; and during the last four years the popula tion and wealth of this city would have been doubled, and we would have per manently secured an immense trade, a great part of which has been lost We area conservative people. (I have stricken the word Conservative from my dictionary, and would not wil lingly use it, for I hate conservatism, as opposed to all . progress and improve ments in art, science, commerce, poll tics, morals and religion. J . r We nave been eminently conservative in respect , :....,m.( r W ait UCBBUI.. ICUUItl.K W. " . r money witnout a certain prospect oi profit to be derived directly from the investment. We will not plow in a crop of dover worth $100 this year, in order to enrich the soil, with a prospect of getting during the next three years, for the products of the same soil, three j hundred dollars more than we would if 1 ahoul cn nd clover. No, the Price of the clover is certain, de8troy tfc proipectif . cropa -7, natural advantages of our posiI tion have secured to us, without effort on our part, a considerable amount of bsiness, and we .think we have pros pered; but we have, in fact, been cutting tba clover and selling, it as hay, instead of turning it under with the plow. We failed to construct the straight line road, 1 - .l 1 I ana sunerea me canai 10 go to rum. whereby we lost the trade of four or five I counties which we had, and which natura I ally belong to us. We failed to profit by the example of Indianapolis, and did I not even do the wind work for the Hen derson A Nashville road, and by our want of energy and foresight, failed to secure the millions of money which from necessity fell into the lap of Louisville. We own no steamboats, and Cincinnati merchants, who do, will ship goods from that city to Cairo as cheap as we can ship them from here. We have no dry dock or shin 1 yard, and suffer cities above and below I to reap all tbe profits to be derived from the construction and repair of boats. In short we have buried the talent which nature gave ns, and if -we do not soon exhume it and put it in use, we will have nothing, and our neighbors win take from us that which we have. Nov is the time to act, By the war all old business habits aod relations 1 have beeu broken up, and, while sew ones are being being formed, we can, if I we win. attract to this oity a vast amount J of business which will go elsewhere if

we fail to improve the opportnity. Let ns finish the Straight Line Road to the' Ohio A Mississippi road, and do what we can towards the construction of the Henderson & Nashville road. This will secure to us the trade of the richest portion of the valley of White1 river, and of that part of Kentucky bordering oo, at d lying south of, Green river. If wo build the straight Line Road to the Ohio Mississippi road, Indianapolis and others concerned will take it through without our sid, and the Evansville and Crawfordsville road will 'be promptly extended to Attica. My bject is to set. the citizens of Evansville to thinking, for it is probable that Very SOOO they Will be called upon to , act,; and they should be prepared to act promptly and wisely. Every man and. woman in the city is interested, no matter what his or her calling may be.

I am pained to write you in "our pres ent circumstances. ,'Tis but a few days since onr' regiment wad cut to pieces under circumstances : that were truly horrifying. ' This post is commanded by the Colonel of a colored regiment, and isning to esiaousn lor nimaeu some notoriety before the war closed, he started a colored regiment to Brownsville, oa the Rio Grande, in direct vio lation of orders lcom headquarters. They met the enemy and had to fall back, and on the night of the I lib our regiment was' ordered to reinforce them. After marshing till daylight we met the enemy all cavalry. The Colonel com manding "ordered ns to press tbem steadily. The cavalry fell back slowly. Our Colonel suspected , that as we had neitheroavalry nor artillery that we were being drawn into a trap, bull the com manding officer ordered ns' onward. After advancing some twenty miles the rebel infantry and artillery opened npon as, while the cavalry, heretofore in sight, was nowhere visible. i , .. The rebels were five to our one. Their artillery, poured into ear ranks, a de structive sire. An order was given to retreat double-quick the worst time in the world for such ah 'order but the men, who were anBch .cooler than their commander, fell back arteadily, keeping up a heavy fire. Oar skirmishers, hav ing bo orders to fall ; baoic, were ail either killed or cabaret . After we had retreated three miles, the rebel cavalry made its appearance ui our rear, cutting us completely off. The men were not long in massing and cutting their way through, hut the rebel artillery played npon tbem terribly.' This was repeated several times, our- soldiers fighting desperately.. ' The day was hot and the fire was hotter. At last tbe rebels got a cavalry reinforcement, and made a fine charge npon us. We were now close to the river, and many rushed to the water for safety.-, The color guards were 11 shot down' but the sergeant. He tore the colors from the staff, and also the banner, tied the flag ; around his own body, and leaped into the river. A sol dier took the banner -and followed his example. The" latter escaped, but the torn. The rebels got his body the next day and took off the Gag. ' ' " Of three hundred men started out in I the morning, only .'eighty escaped, and I the most of thsie by swimming to the I . - , - . , Mexican shore. It waa the most a bominable affair that I ever knew of. The commandant of the post had asked per mission of department headquarters to make a demonstration, put was natiy rer.A --.

' Tbey say they were n - well treated, and the rebel General told one of our Captains : that if the white regiment had come no alone tbey would have surrendered to. us, but that they would never surrender to niggers. They said they believed the war was played out, but thought this a good opportunity to give us . a whipping. . Many of our men would not surrender, but were shot down. The rebel adjutant said he was sorry to see it, but could not help it 1 wo of the rebel officers came Into camp with our men. They were full of fun, and said they would all be mends soon, as . they intended to surrender to go home. 'The French helped them. We took a few prisoners in the morning, ana most of them were Maximilian's French soldiers. It is to be hoped he will get

shore, and that thev sent ammunition over to the- rebels. There was a com pany ofiTexans. made up mostly of de - serters from the rebels. ,A fast as they were captured they were shot down. Neither would the deserters surrender. for they knew it would be death, and so died fighting. 1 LIGHT BREAD. Sweet Ldght Bread. OTBATTOrS CELEBBAT1D TIAST OO.

Owing to the threat ening and exceedingly precarious state of the weather, it was determined to hold the reception in tbe Tabernacle, instead Of the State House park, and accord ingly, after faring sumptuously at the Soldiers' Home, the breused veterans marched, with tattered banners fluttering in the breeze, through Washington street, escorted y the City Band one of the best, by tbe way, to be found in the West Tbe Tabernacle .baa its advantages, as well as disadvantages.' The comfortable seavts compensated, in some sort, for the uncomfortable perspiration induced by the gathering of so large a crowd benea-h one roof. After prayer by the Rev. Mr. Foster, State Librarian, General Mansfie'4 arose and announced that, owing' to the sickness of Governor Morton, Lieutenant Governor Baker, himself an old and gallant soldier, would make the reception speech . Colonel Baker then proceeded, ia handsome, style, to pay: the merited compliment to tbe brave men who have so nobly stood the test of the battle field in defence of their country's flag, regretting, at the- same time,' that the Governor's illness had deprived him and tbem, of the pleasure of officiating!
