Th newpper department of this establishment has been removed to the office of the Isoca motive, opposite the Postoffice, from whence the Daily and Wttkly Indiana State Sentinel will be issued hereafter. The editorial conduct of the paper will be the same as it is now, bat its busi mm affairs will be managed by Messrs. El nut k Hause. Sixth Ckop or Strawberries. Mr. Cleve 1 nd, of the Journal office, showed us on Saturday, a specimen of his sixth crop of strawberries which he has raised this reason. The berries were remarkably large for the month of Septem ber, and were of the variety known as the Monthly. We would suggest to our horticulturists that they procure some of the seed. We see by the Washington papers that the President and den. McClellan regularly attend church. And so does his Excellency Governor Morton, at least since a correspondent of the Journal writing from the "quiuine" district nominated him for President. One regular Sunday has intervened, and regularly, as we have stated, was he in a pew. Nor did he leave preriously to pas.-ln around the hat. The Salem (Washington County) Advocate ays that Mr. D. B. Plait, of that town, who. a few weeks ago, was awarded a contract for the manufacture of ambulances for the Government, is pushing forward ihe work with all possible speed, having lue contract already nearly completed. Military Rooks. Officers and privates wishing to perfect themselves in military tactics arc invited to examine Bowen, Stewart k Co.

Sigel, McClellan, Fremont, and others. 'The Republicar Central Committee met, we understand, on Saturday, and recommended Charles X. Ray for Common Pleas Judge in place of Judge Cobuni, who has resigned and gone to the wars. John Tarkington was also recommended as a candidate for Representative to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Dr. Kendrick. The merits and claims and probable patriotism, popularity and loyalty of several candidates were discussed at length Judge Beale having his friends, and Ketch urn and Cavin having theirs. Something also w is said about General Elliott in connection with the nomination for Representative, until it was sig nified that he peremtorily declined the honor. We do not know that Mr. Tarkington will accept the dignity which his Republican no party friends seem so anxious to thrust upon him. If elected be will make a good Representative, especially as there is no probability whatever of there being an extra session of the Legislature called. Citt Council. The ptoceedings of this august body, at the regular meeting on Saturday night last, were so important, momentous and relative, that, upon consultation with the reporters of other city papers, our reporter concluded that his wisest course was not to say anything about it. Our reporter has heard of Fort Lafayette, and of Mayor Maxwell, the honored President of the Council, entertaining a secessionist, who was a near and dear brother, and therefore under all the circumstances, and considering all things, deliberately, calmly, patriotically and with an eye single to the loyalty of every citizen , we (our aforesaid reporter, as well as the other aforesaid reporters,) have concluded, as we have said, to say nothing about the last meeting of the City Council for fear of compromising His Honor, the Mayor, in the eyes of all men who have gone forth and who hereafter intend to go forth to mamtiin the battles of their country. We may state, without fear of successful contradiction, or without any misgivings of any likelihood of subjecting ourselves to the civil, military, criminal, Suae or Federal authorities, that the Hon. Sim l A. Col ley va present on the eventful occasion of which we are speaking and made a full quorum in his seat, leaning back, and cocking himself up, and cogitating upon the great American spread eagle. Mayor Maxwell having turned the entertainer of secessionists, Mr. Col ley is now the salt of the city government. Everything would be chaos, confusion worse confounded, a wreck of matter and a crush of worlds, in this our dire extremity, if it were not for him. The alarm of fire on Saturday night was occasioned by an affray at the Western engine house. We understand from the City Fire Engineer, that a party of five or six men visited it, and assaulted Mr. Charte Glaser, who was in charge These men, it seems, had made throats a . ain-t Mr C laser, being offended at him t'mm some cause, and he was prepared for them. They came upon bim all at once, but he, armed with an axe, disabled two or three of them, wounding one very severely on the head, and, ringing the alarm bell, the others fled. Mr. Glaser, himself, k seriously hurt, having blows upon his head and upon his arras from an iron implement. Three of the men were arrested upon the arrival of the police, answering Mr. Glaser's signal, and lodged in jail. The others escaped, and it is supposed are in camp. The party were soldiers, volunteers, it is said, in the Irish regiment. As we hart stated, the cause of their anger against Mr. Glaser we could not ascertain. f rem t,e.

Tke FretUeat. We are rejoiced to aee daily evidences that the , President full v comprehends the wishes and feel
ings of the people, that the present war shall not degenerate into a mere contest to tree the flares, but on the contrary that it shall be prosecuted for the pwrpose of restoring the Union in all of its integrity. His letter to General Fremont waa not only right in substance, but the spirit of it was admirable, and although the first feeling in the community was one of fear that it might be the commencement of a division of opinion which would work much injury to our case, yet the moment the letter was read, ami its candid and kind tone known, this fear subsided. The letter of Judge Holt, ou this subject, clear and pionted as everything from him is, whether it comes in the form of a speech or a letter, goes far to prove to the people that he and the President are acting cordially together for the accomplishing of the one great object of the war, the restoring of the country to its former happy condition. As these proofs multiply, onr hope and faith increases that the love of country will finally triu .nph over the extreme views of both sections, ami that both Northern and Southern States will return to their allegiance, nud obey the Constitution and laws of the Union. We say both Northern and Southern State, for both have intentionally violated the Constitution the North in deliberately passing laws to weaken and destroy the right of the reclamation of fugitives, and the South in setting at defiance all laws of every kind passed by the United States. One has simply refused its obedience to the Constitution and laws upon one point, but that a point ot extreme sensitiveness to the South, while the other smarting under the wrong and disregard of its rights, has madly at tempted to overthrow the whole system of gov eminent, and trample the Constitution in the dust. Both have done wrong both are guilty both have seceded from the solemn obligations thev took upon themse'ves a lien becoming members of the Union, and we are in hope that both will return to their allegiance when the mad passions of the hour shall subside. The wrong deeds of one section furnish no excuse whatever for the wrong acts of the other. It is an admitted fact that however remiss the Northern States, as such, have been in the discharge of their duties under the Constitution, the General Government has never wavered nor shrunk from the oerformance of its duty to each and every State. The attack of the Southern Suits, therefore, on that Government for wrongs committed by Northern States, is wholly inde fensible. It shows the blindness of the passion, the ungovernable fury which has hurried them on in this course, when we look at the effect likely to be produced, if they ahuuld succeed in destroying the Government. Instead of ridding themselves of the evils complained of, thev would rivet them with tenfold strength. If with all the obligations of the Constitution pressing upon them, the love of couutry. the desire to perpetu ate the institutions handed down to us from the Fathers of the Revolution, the deep and lasting interests of trade and commerce which interlace ami bind the sections together if these and a thousand other bonds are not sufficient to induce the North to perform their duty under the Constitution, will the destruction of these ties do it? Instead of that, human nature must have changed if it does not aggravate every evil complained ot, a thousand fold. But, as we said in the be ginning, the evidences of right feeling are be coming more and more rraqusjnt dally, and we believe the time will come when both sections will acknowledge their wrongs and unite in support of the Constitnt on. Detroit Free Press. From tli London Post (Palroerston's organ) September failure of American institution. It is scarcely more than a year ago that we were continually reminded, by a popular speaker of the extreme Liberal section, that the citizens of the United States of America were the liest governed eople in the world. The orator's copious eloquence told out the glories of the Transatlantic Republic in round and ringing periods with so much unqualified pmise, and disparaged the institutions of his own country in such unmeasured terms of detraction, that any one might have supposed that it was America and not England that had the honor of giving birth to the speaker. Well-informed men know that the fervent panegyrics which elicited the applause of the crowds in Birmingham and Manchester were mere rant, that the glories portrayed did not exist, and that the institutions of America were even yet on their trial, and that any laudatory speeches were at least premature. But the mob thought not so. The mob is a very unthinking creature, and so that a thing is fluently and con fidently said, it does not much inquire into the logic of the speaker, or his experience, or his ve racity. So the popular mind readily took in that monarchy led to aristocracy, and aristocracy to bad government, heavy taxes, restricted trade and all other forms of popular oppression. It did not pause to search history, it did not care to weigh evidence; it found a plausible theory put confidently before it, and it took it up, and shouted for it as for a truth. The experience of the last year has, we should hope, taught both the demagogue and his credit lous admirers to modify their enthusiasm, and be a little more patient under the oppression of Eng li-h limited monarchy. We have no desire to hold up American short comings to the scorn of the world ; we deeply regret the circumstances of America; we lament the war. and its causes and consequence- too sincerely to make light of that infatuated people's misfortunes. But at the same time, since an invidious comparison has been popularly made by a member of our own Legislature, for the purpose ot political partv, we do feel justified in pointing out that by no possioility could a crisis like that which now rends the American States have occurred under the Con stitution which we have the happiness to possess, or have had its origin in the social circumstances by which we are surrounded. The condition of America preaches to us with as loud a voice as the condition of Italy did three years ago, and it tells us that a nation may suffer depression nnd collapse from over extension, as well as from over restriction of the popular element. It tells us also that unbridled democracy is a selfish thing, and, once given the power, will sacrifice every social ami moral tie to its own ascendancy. Had it been otherwise, slavery could not have existed iu the form which it has always worn there, nor would it have been suffered to become the fostering provocative of that deadly civil conflict which is now so great a scandal to civilization and to Cnristendom. Let us see what the model Republic, the truit of univeisil suffrage, has done. First, in the institution of slavery, it act at nought in social life the primal law of human equality on which its political life depended. With this seed of future disunion within itself it proceeded to develop a policy based on the expediency of the hour, and without reference to the great canons of political economy which embody the collective experience of the world in the science of uoveniment. Its i grand rule was to raise to the highest pinnacle of I authority the favorite of the hour to entrust I him with very limited jxiwers, to leave no margin tor his genius or discretion, and to displace him ! after a given time without reference to his merits ! or his powers of serving his country. The con- ; sequence is that from Washington to Lincoln the ( Americans have never had a President who was I a man of genius, or who has materially helped the country, or shed any lasting brilliance upon i its administration. If the Americans have lived in comparative ! peace, it is becau.e they have had no one to quar I rel with, and they have ended their h..ig course of i neutrality by quarreling with one another. The I cause ofthat quarrel is creditable to neither pattv. There is no single principle which chivalry would recognize on either stde. The conduct of the war is equally unredeemed by a single feature creditable to the heads of either army. Thus tar the Americans have been powerless to prevent war, and powerless to conduct it when it came. The whole administration has proved itself a fault. The moment it was severely tried it collapsed and came to grief, and now there is no regular army, nodiscipline among the volunteers, no clear line of policy, no elasticity of revenue. There is abundance of enthusiasm and fabulous contingents of men, and enornioti- supplies of money are freely voted and raised; but there is a want of governing and administrative power. Neither the men nor the money are economised, and as for taxation it has become frightful; and when the war is over, if it ever be over, the States of America will be the heaviest taxed of all the countries in which the Anglo Saxon nee has taken root. We make these observations in no unfriendly spirit; but when we have been ostentatiously told to take pattern by America, it is part of our duty to help our countrymen to see how the American model works under one of those terrible strains which sooner or later puts to a crucial test the efficiency of all political constitutions, and all theories of civil administration. The Frankfort, Kentucky, correspondent of the Cincinnati Gatettt says: Breckinridge is certainly in Morgan county concentrating troops. Gen. William 0. Butler has addressed the Se ceraionisU of Owen and other counties, counselling them to disperse and obey the laws. He is their leader and commands influence. The Cincinnati Commercial calls Fort La fa vette the "American Bastile " We hope the
comparison will end in the name.

A private in the 2d Michigan regiment was wounded in the leg yesterday by a rebel picket near Arlington Milts. This is the first case of any one being shot so near Arlington Hihls. On Wednesday Major Ricker, Acting Quarter mxter, discharged all the inspectors at the Government horse yard excepting John Raymond, of Pennsylvania, who has the whole charge of re ceiviug and inspecting horses. Marcus Cicero Stanley, a recently discharged political prisoner froin Fort Lafayette, has had an interview with the Secretaries of Suite and War and (Jen. Scott, and ha left for the West. Acting Surgeon Toombs was brought to Washington ou the steamer Baltimore, which had taken several political prisoners from Annapolis to Fort Lafayette. According to report, Toombs, when on the voyage, approaclied two of the marines, and told them that money was to be made by turning the head of the boat to the shore so th.it the prison er- could escape, and that he would insure them $6K) each for their assistance, and $30 per month. The marines objected, wheu he said there were men enough ou board to seize the steamer, and sooner than be arrested he would blow her up; hence the conspirator was arrested and brought here in irons. A (rivate letter from Santa Fe, of the 1st inst., states that Hon. John S Wales was elected delegate to Congresa by a large majority on the 2d of September.

Smith from the Chain Bridge. They were not willing to take up the guautlet. The impresion prevails here that so soon as the storm is abated, the rebels are bound to make a move in some direction. An attempt to cross the Potomac either above or below Washington is indispensable with them. The city is rife with rumors of such attempts, but the army telegraph brings no confirmation of them. from California. Sweet W ater. Sept U.

The Post's special says: The rebels have declared their intention to obstruct the navigation of the Potomac river, and have diligently erected batteries and cleared the woods from the Virginia shore so as to command a full -weep of that stream. So effectively have their measures beeu taken that vessels can no longer pass up nor down without undergoing a destructive fire, and the navigation is actually closed. The stoppage will probably be but temporary, for the Government will doubtless tike immediate measures for reopening navigation. Information has been received here to the effect that the enemy declare their intention to de stroy the large wa? steamer Pensacola, now at the Washington navy yard, when she attempts to go to sea. Large numbers of suspected persons in this city have been confined by order of the Government in private houses. There are 4,000 horses yet remaining in the Government stock yard in this city.

Geary's command Last Saturday morning 15 were seen to leave the Island, below the bridge, just after daylight this Island comprises several acres of dense foliage, and is separated from Virginia by a narrow channel Col. Geary thinks they are in the habit of coming over there every night. On Friday night the rebels made a demonstratration as if they would cross at the Point of Rocks. Col. Geary set a trap to catch them; while awaiting their movements he discovered that signals were making at a farmer's house on the Maryland shore. The inmates were secured and held. The rebel force did not attempt to cross. Last week Capt. Pardee, of company A, of Geary's regiment, made an incursion of the river, opposite Berlin, securing three prisoners, eight horses ami ten head of cattle. Edward D.

Nothing definite is given iu regard to his future movements. Jefferson Citt, Sept. 28. A special dispatch to the St. Louis Drmocrat says: Passengers report everything quiet at Georgetown. Generals Sigel and Davis were at Georgetown directing operations. Among the passengers by the train were the following officers of Col. Marshall's cavalry regiment from Lexington: Major D. P Jenkens, Capts. James Foster, Paul Waters, John Burnaup, and Lieuts. Proctor, Yost, Knight and Blair. These officers were released ou their parole of honor. They left Lexington on the morning of Thursday, coming in wagons overland to Sedalia, arriving there last night. To their knowledge up to Thursday Price had not started any portion of his forces toward this direction, though it could have beeu done, aud they have lieen iu ignorance of it. Capt. Foster was informed on the morning 'after 'the surren der by the rebel Quartermaster that he had issued 34,0UO rations, and the Captain thinks the force has since then been increased by accessions from the country round about to at least 42,000. He represents that men are flocking in from all CUarters. He heard nothing definite in regard to McCullough's whereabouts. The rebels told him his force was was from 10,000 to 15,000. The officers think McCullough is moving toward Jefferson. Price's troojw had devastated the country for a circuit of twenty miles; ever barn, field and mill had beeu cleaned of their contents. Fields that were a few days ago covered with ripe grain are now made as bare as a desert. Dwellings that were filled with the comforts and necessaries of life have beeu stripped of their comforts; money, silverware, clothing, bedding and every thing was seized, the owners insulted and maltreated, and threats made against the lives of all Union men as weli as those who remonstrated against their lawless proceedings. A few members of Jackson's Legislature had assembled in the town and had passed an ordinance of secession. When our informant left they were discussing an act of confiscation of property of all persons opposed to the Southern Confederacy. Other acts ot a very severe character were also under consideration. All the Federal officers taken prisoners have now left Lexington with the exception of Col. Mulligan, who remains there to settle up some business affairs. He is not wounded as reported. Gen. Hunter and staff paid their respects to Gen. Fremont about 9 o'clock. Gen. Price has nfcen ordered to take the field, but his brigade not being in readiness he will probably remain in command here. Col. White, who was supposed to be mortally wounded at Lexington, is rapidly recovering. From Louisville. Loiisville, Sept. 2. Hon. Horace Maynard, of Tennessee, is at Frankfort. Agents are now stationed along the Ohio river to prevent smuggling of arms into Kentuckv.

Mulligan's regiment arrived yesterday and marched to Benton barracks where they will be paid off. Jackson Quigg, who it is believed fought under Price at Lexington, was arrested yesterday as a spy. J Err so n Citt, Sept. 28. A special to the St. Louis Republican says: No reliable news from Boonville, Georgetown, Glasgow, Rolla or other prominent points. Capt. Wolter, of Col. Marshall's regiment, w ho was at Lexington, arrived thir morning, having left there on Thursday noon. He saw no rebel troops between Lexington and Setialia, and says the main body of Price's forces were there when he departed and believes they intend to make a stand and meet our troops there, as the ricinity is well calculated, from its stream- and deep miry banks without bridges, to trouble an advancing enemy All the Federal officers have leen released on
parole but Col. Mulligan, who refused to give his for private reasons. Price probably has there five thousand men, and th rebels on Thursday confidently expected that Hardee, with eight or nine thousand, and McCullough with ten thousand men, were within two or three days march of Lexington. They have no faith in McCullough as a General, but think be is very effectual with s small body of men. Ten thousand rebels were sent across the Mis sour! from Lexington, on Thursday, with the avowed intention of attacking Lane, who is reported on this side of the river. The seal of the State and public records are in the hands of the rebels. Our troops had no cartridges, no grape, or other shot and no shells left at the time of the surrender, but lost two or three hundred kegs of powder. The rebels are casting all kinds of balls at the Lexington boundary, ruuning day and night. The rebels are greatly encourage 1 and declare St. Louis in their possession. Jefferson Citt, Sept. S9. Gen. Price's official report, giving a somewhat detailed account of the battle of Lexington, has been received. The following are the closing paragraphs: Our entire loss in this series of engagements amount to twenty-five killed and seventy-two wounded. The enemy's loss was much greater. The visible fruits of this almost bloodless victory are great. About 3,500 prisoners, among whom are Cols. Mulligan, Marshall, Peabodj, White, Graver, May, Van Horn and 11 other commissioned officers; five pieces of artillery aud two mortars, over 3,000 stand of infantry arms, a large number of sabres, about 750 hot ses, manysets of cavalry equipments, wagons teams, am munition, more than $100,000 worth of commis rary stores, and a large amount of other property were captured. In addition to all this I obtained the restoration of the great seal of the State and the public records which were stolen from the proper custodian, and about $900,000 in money which the bank at this place had been robbed, and which I have caused to be returned to it. Col. Vaughn, a prominent citizeu of Lexington, who witnessed the entire battle and who was at one time a prisoner in the hands of the rebels, asserts positively that fully 500 of Price's armywere killed. The money of which Price says the bank in Lexington was nblcd, is understood here to have been placed in Col. Mulligan's hands for safe keepiug. A gentlemen who arrived here this morning from the West state- that he saw a gentleman who passed through Osceola on Wednesday last, who states that the central portion of that town had been burned by Genend Lane. It is stated that the reasons for bunting were that the rebels had Srel upon the troops from windows. No Federal troops there when he left. From Washington. W MtM.iMK, Sept. 29. During the last week it w.i. so i'iejueiitl re:irted, from day to day, that onr troops had taken possession of Munsou's Hill, that last nicht, when this long predicted event took place, it found few believers among those lesist excited by sensation rumors. A personal visit, however, places the fact be yond doubt. The American flag now floats there in place of that of the rebels. Detachments from Gens Richardson, Key and Woodswotth's brigades and also from Gen. Franklin's division now occupy Munsou's Hill, being in command of Col. Ferry, of the 5th Michigan. COMMERCIAL.
