In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my l. s.j hand and affixed the seal of the State, at Indi- -"' anarxiti thi 11th ilav of November. I H OLIVER P. MORTON, Governor of Indiana. The Pen Insular Campaign. The Prince Dk Joixville, who was a member of Gen. McClkllax's staff during tbe organiza tion of tbe Army of the Potomac and the Penin -suliir campaign, ha? published a careful and elaborate sketch of the campaign which began with the evacuation of Manassas by the rebel army and ended with the retreat of McClellan irom before Kicnmond. The review haa been carefully prepared by one who is versed in the higheat military science and diplomacy of the age, and whose statement of facte will not be called in qutstion No one can read the comments of Prince Da Joinvillk without being convinced that Uen. McClkllak in that memorable cam paign ws the victim alike of jealousy and a weak and irresolute Cabinet. If he h.id been sustained, as he should have been, by the representatives of the Government, the rebellion would have received a severe blow and the condition of public affairs would h ive presented a far different aspect from what they now do. McClellan was stricken down when it was in the power of the Administration to have given the rebellion a check from which it could not have recovered, and now again when he was on the eve of a decisive battle, he is again removed from command. Who, then, is to blame for the indefinite prolongation of the war? The conspirators who twice have done all in their power to produce the disasters which our arms have suffered and who have thus given vitality aud power to the rebellion will be held to a fearful account. W e have only space for a few -xtracta from the paper of the Prince, but enough to show the embarrassments of M Clellan in the campaign of the Peninsula, which should have been, if he had been properly usUiued, a triumphant success instead of a reverse to our arms. With respect lo the deposition of McClellan from the chief command, the Prince denounces it as "a restriction of force and demiuutiou of usefulness," and regards it as "a blow in the rear at tho very outset of the campaign." lie adds: Yet this was but a part of the mischief done him. McClcllan had long known, better than anybody else, the real strength of tbe rebels at Manassas and Centreville He was perfectly fa miliar with the existence of "wooden cannon" lv which it haa been pretended that be was kept in we for six mouths. Hut he also knew that till the month of April the roads of Virginia are in uch a state that wagons and artillery can only be moved over them by constructing plank roads. tedious operation, during which the enemy, holding the railways, could either retreat, as he was then actual I v doing, or move for a blow up. op some other point In any event, had McClellai. attacked aud carried Centreville, pursuit was impossible and victory would have been barren of results. A single bridge burned would have saved Joheston's whole army. Such are tbe vast advantages of a railway for a retreating army advantages which do not eiist for the army which pursues it. We liAve the right, we think, to say thut Mc Clellan never intended to march upon Centre ville. His long determined purpose was to make Washington safe by means of a strong garrison, and then lo use the good navigable waters and immense naval resources of the North to transport the army by sea to a point near Richmond. For weeks, perhaps for months, this plan bad been secretly maturing Secrecy, as well as promptness, it will be understood, was indispeusa ble here to success. To keep the secret it had been ueceseary to confide it lo lew persons, and hence had arisen the long ill feeling toward the uncommunicative Ueneral. Be this ss it may. as the day of action drew near, those who suspected the General's project, and were angry at not Mog informed of it; those whom his promotion had excited to envy; his po MsJaal enemies; ''who is without them iu Ameri caT) in short all those beneath or beside him who wished him ill. broke out into a chorus of accusation of slowness, inaction, incspacirv. McClellan. with a patriotic courage which' I have always admired, disdained these accusations and made no reply. He satisfied himself with purau Ing his preparations in laborious silence. But the moment came iff which, notwithstanding the loyal support given him by the President, that functionary could no longer resist the tempest. A council of war of all the divisional Uenerals was held; a plan of campaign not that of Mc Clellan was proposed and discussed McClcllan was then forced to explain his projects, and tbe nest day they were known to tbe enemy. In formed, mi doubt, by one of those female spies who keep up his communication-, into ihr .1 tic circies ..t the Federal enrmv , Johnston e acti ated Manassas st ones. This was a skillful ma neuver. Incapable of assuming the offensive; threatened with attack either at Centreville. where defense would be usslsss if successful, or st Richmond, the loss of which would be a grave check, and unable to cover both positions st once, Johnston threw his whole force before the latter of the two. The consequence resulting from this unfortu nate pressure of the radicals, and the prompt re solution of Uen McClellan to attempt the cap turs of Richmond from the Peniusula sre then described An stuck on the rebels in their position on tbe Rappahannock aud st Oordonsville is shown lo be s military absurdity The Priuce then deits of Mi Clellan in ' of his diminished ranks precluding him Irons concentrating the whole Isnd and sea forces of the Republic upon this single point. Of the subsequent delays which greatly retarded the success of the expedition and the withdrawal of portions of his command, we find the follow log account A few days had been half lost in au useless pi.raoit of the enemy, while the transports were assembling at Alexandria At last they were sseesablal. and the order came to embark But here a new misunderstanding awaited the Gene rsl He had been promised transports which convey 60.0U0 men at a time He found hanily eoual to the conveyance ol h.lf that number Instead of moving at once, as Mc Clellan had intended, a whole army, with its equipage, s number of trips had to' be made. Tbe embarkation began March 17. The force Consisted ol 11 divisions of infsutry, H.OUO to 10.000 strong 1 division of regulars .'infantry and cavalry), j.6,000 strong. 350 pieces of artillery. The total effective force may have been 121), of departure a whole to form, we know not why, command under (ieneral of Virginia We shall IV undergo other not leas indiminutions Hut we anticipate A fortnight was required to move the army to rosffrwas Monroe I his point was chose A apparition of the Mern mac. and her

dous exhibition of her strength, had made it im possible to regard the Federal navy as absolutely mistress of tbe waters of Virginia. The Prince then shows how tbe presence of j the Merrimac, bv depriving us for a short time ,..,7,. , ,r. . of the absolute command of the waters of Vir-

guua, converted a sure and rapid movement into a long and dangerous campaign. Of subsequent operations be says: We were here twenty four miles from Yorktown, and we could not learn what works the ene my had thrown up, uor what was his force within them. This was the more amazing, that Fortress Monroe had always been held by a strong garrison, which ought to have been able to obtain some information or to make some reuounoisance iu this direction. But by a strange aberration, this fortress, now became tbe base of operations of the army of the Potomac, had been specially sequestered from the command of Gen. McClellan, together with its garrison, although the Uen ernl iu command of it was his inferior in rauk. Hence arose military susceptibilities, which were by no means favorable to the exchange of conti dential communications. So the army of the Potomac moved on in the j dark toward Yorktown. We were two days on i ine roau. i ue coiumn 01 me onerap m vuisi i ( . i. ... a a i I Inul passed some fortified positions abandoned bv the enemy. A few bursemeu were occasionally seen at rare intervals. No sooner had we come under the walls of Yorktowu, than we were arrested by the cannon. The difficulties of the situation caused by the flooding of the country by the rebels are graphic ally described, but with these facts our readers have been familiar long since. We are-then afforded an insight into Gen. McClkllax's plans, and their derangements by the blundering of Washington officials. The Priuce says: In order to gain time and avoid the tedium of a siege. Gen. McClellan bad thought out the means of turning tbe position. The enemy held the James with the Merrimac and his gunboats; the York was closed by the Yorktown and GlouCvSter Point batteries. Nevertheless, by a disembarkation on tbe Severn, beyond Gloucester, we might carry the latter position and open the way ol the Federal guntioata into the river York. A subsequent movement up tbe left bank, in the direction of West Point, would put us so fsr in the rear of the army charged with the defense of the lines of Yorktown, that it would have been in a perilous position. This accomplished, the confederates must have abandoned Gloucester, anil fallen back hastily upon Richmond. The execution of the coup de main had been left to a corps ol the armv commanded by Gen McDowell. This corps was to be the last to embark at Washington, and it was calculated that it ought to reach Yorktown in a body on its transports at the moment when the rest of the army moving by land should appear before the post from Fortress Monroe. Instead of finding it, we received tbe inexplicable and as yet unexplained intelligence that this corps, .'15,000 strong, had been sent to another destination. The news was received in the army with stupefaction, although the majority could not see the deplorable consequences of the step taken, it must be supposed, with no evil intention, but certainly with an inconceivable reck lessness. Fifteen days before, this measure, a! though it must always have been injurious, would have been much less so. We might have made arrangements upon a new basis. Taken when it was it deranged a whole system of machinery fairly at work. Among the divisions of McDowell's corps there was one, thst of Franklin, which was more regretted than all the others, as well on account of the troops themselves as of their commanders. The General in Chief had bestowed special pains on its organization during the winter, aud earnestly demanded its restora tion. It was sent back to him without a word of explanation, precisely as it had been detached from him. This fine division, 11, (NM) strong, arrived, and for a moment the General thought of intrusting to it alone the Gloucester expedition. But this intention was renounced. A regular siege of Yorktown now became necessary, but we omit the details of this as al readr familiar to the public. The Prince shows that General McClellax was always anxious to bring on a decisive battle, as he regarded a vie tory as a necessary means to secure peace. The constant interference to his designs to this end, induces tbe belief that there existed a dominant power iu Washington which favored a pro longation of the war, and therefore thwarted the intentions of the General in this respect, by crippling his resources aud weakening his com mand. The battle of Williamsburg, and the conduct of General Hooker, who is eulogised as "an ad mirable soldier," are then described aud full merit is awarded to (ieneral Kearney. After the battle, the siego of Richmond fairly commenced, and of the situatiou at this time we find the following: Cavalry reconnaissances pushed in all directions demonstrated that nearly the whole hostile army had crossed the Chickahotniny , ami everything indicated that we should meet a dcserate resistance under the walls of the Confederate capital. Prisoners had been taken who belonged to a corps which had up to this time been stationed opposite General Rurnside in North Carolina. It was plain that this corps joined the Army of Virginia. We soon learned of the evacuation of Norfolk. It was manifest that Davis could only have made this sacrifice in order lo bring Huger with his 1H.IMMI men to Richmond. Finally the Confederate chief had ordered a levy en matae of even man able to bear arms e e The result of all this threatened the army of the I'otomac in its only si periorily, that of mini bers. Unhappily, too, while the enemy was con centrating and strengthening his forces, ours were failing sway. We have already seen at Alexandria i division detached and sent to Fre mont. Before Yorktown we hail lost two other divisions under McDowell. We had since left garrisons in Yorktown, Gloucester aud Williams burg Wo had lost men under fire anil by dis ease, as well as by straggling. Nothing came to fill up the gaps When an American regiment marches to the war it goes as a whole, and leaves behind it no depots of recruits to restore its ranks as they are wasted away. Alter the news of the ruin of the Merrimac, and the evacuation of Norfolk, the Priuce thinks that Gen. McClblla : might perhaps have ad vantageoiisly changed its base to the James River, but here again the evil of depriving him of the supreme command by precluding any cordial co operation of all the forces became inani feat, and rendered the succeaa of tbe movement more than doubtful. Besides it was impossible for Gen. McClellax to foresee the June fresh ets, or that -". men would be detained idle around Washington, and not co operate in any way for the reduction of Richmond On this subject the Prince Da Joixville speaks in indignant terms, and we commend the following to tho especial attention of our readers: Hut here the responsibility is far from belonging to the Chief or to his srmy. Who sere the men who. dm ing them into an untimely campaign, bad so revealed lo the enemy operations not yet ripe for execution! Was McClellan resKnsible for that want of unity iu the ends and iu the action of the Government which had trammeled the movements of the army since he had been deprived of the chief command and supreme direc lion of the armies? Was McClellan responsible lor the systematic diminution of his forces, which, iu the face of the agglomeration of the forces of the enemy, had successively deprived him, aince the campaign had opened, of the division of Bleuker and of two thirds of McDowell's corps, without tending him one solitary man to fill up Hit gap made by sickness and by the cannon? In spile of all these obstacles be had reached the walla of Richmond, but he had no longer the means of striking the great blow which probably f.tiilit lifii'ft Minljwt ihm war In a hrkMfll , : : . . . " '"""- "" j mini apin-ni- a -uii.o- i ccoiiuoissancr mav oitcn prove a serious and general attack. There a large force is needed to piard ngiht sin pi es and a still larger force to secure lines of communi cation which can not be broken without danger. Reinforcements were needed Whence should ' thev come? Gen. Wool, from Norfolk. Huruside. from North Carolina, might send some men, tin. very few, while around Washington, more than eighty thousand were collected. Of these about one half were making bead against Jackson iu the valley of the Shenandoah. The rest were eollecled under McDowell at Fredericksburg, sixty miles to the north of Richmond They hnd rebuilt the railway bridge over the RaptMl.atiuock aud in three or four days they might have joined the army of McClellan. They covered nothing at Fredericksburg, and were so notoriously uselees to tbe Federal cause that in the Confederate journals they were spoken of ae the "fifth wheel of the cowan." It was known that McDowell desired ardently lo give the lie to these ralleries by twinging at the decisive moment his assist

ance to the cause of the Union. Accordingly General McClellan had no sooner arrived be fore Ricbmand than he undertook to discover what be bad to hope for on this side. No official iee. W ''V'n 0r'''' bur, had informed him of McDowell s presence lhat jnt on, gijUy mi9a diaUtltt but rumor

aud probability agreed so well iu placing luoi there, that the Ueneral-in-Chief resolved to make an attempt to establish communications with him. On tbe night of the 26th be sent forward Geueral Porter's division with a few squadrons of cavalry, iu a furious storm, to Hanover Court House, a village about twenty miles north of Richmond, where the railway to Fredericksburg crosses the Pamunkey. The troops of Porter moved rapidly, and about midday on the 27th came upon the hostile division of Branch, at Hanover Court House. This they assailed with rigor, dispersed it, and took one of its guns. Assailed in their turn by Confederate troops who bad suffered tbem to pass by the woods in which they lay hidden, tbe Federals turned on their new enemies aud scattered them also. This brilliant affair cost the Federals 400 men, and left General Porter in possession of a cannon, of 500 pris oners, and of two bridges, one ou the FredericksDurg ani Oneon the Virginia Central road. The advanced guard of McDowell was then at Bowl m Ureen, til teen miles trom mat ol ueneral - : Porter. It needed only an effort of the will, the two armies were united, and the possession of Richmond certain! Alas! this effort was not made. I can not recall those fatal moments without a real sinking of the heart. Seated in an orchard in the bivouac of (ieneral Porter, amid the jovous excitement which follows a successful combat, I saw the Fifth Caralrv brim in whole companies of confederate prisoners, wild arms and baggage, their officers at their head. Bat neither the glad confidence of the Federals nor the discouragement of their enemies deceived me, and I asked myself how many of these gallant young men who surrounded me, relating their exploits of the day before, would pay with their lives for the fatal error which was on the point of being committed. Not only did not the two armies unite, but tbe order came from Washington te burn the bridges which had been seized. This was the clearest way of saying to the army of the Potomac and to its chief that in no case could they count on the support of the armies of Upper Virginia. The reason of this unfortunate measure was ihe successful dash of Jackson. He had driven Hanks beyond the Potomac and created such a confusion that he was supposed to be on the point of entering Washington. With over 40,000 men to defend tbe city, the line of the Potomac so easy to hold, and the vast entrenched camp around the capitol, it was not thought to be safe, sea Jackson had gained his point. Henceforth the army of the Potomac must count upon itself alone. The batle of Fair Oaks, the "Seven Days' Battles," and the final retreat to the James river, are graphically described. Of General McClellax skill and coolness through these eventful scenes the Prince writes iu enthusiastic terms. On this subject we find the following: Throughout this grand and daring movement nothing disturbed the serenity of the commander. On the terrible 30th of July, when his aids sank under the heat and excitement of the task they were accomplishing, "I saw him," writes the Prince, "stop to rest for a moment and sit down in the verandah of a country house on the road. The mistress of the house came up and complained that the soldiers were eating her cherries; with a smile the General rose himself and went out to stop the pillagers. Of the battle of Mnlvern Hill the Prince states: It was for the Confederate a useless butchery. The Federal success was due to two causes: First, to the fortunate foresight of the General, who. in spile of numerous natural obstacles to the passage of artillery, had -pared nothing to bring his on, and next to the firmness of his troops. Men do not make such a campaign and go through such experience as they had endured without coming out more or less formed to war. If the'r prima tive organization had been better tho survivers of this rude campaign, I do not fear to assert, might be regarded as the equals of the best soldiers in the world. Notwithstanding all the mortifying blunders and disasters of the campaign, the Prince De Joixville still expresses his confidence in the final success of the Union cause, aud remarks: 1 am not one of those, however, who will thence infer that the Federal cause is lost. Compared lo those of the South, the resources of the North are far from being exhausted, and who knows all that iu a duy of peril can be done by the energy of a free people, battling for the right and for kmmauity. Operation upon i lie IHIesleelppI Intelligence from Cairo presents satisfactory indication-, iu regard to the movements now in progress lor opening the Mississippi. In all quarters of the West the utmost energy is being displayed to bring matters to a speedy and satisfactory conclusion A living stream of troops is pouring Southward from Cairo to take part in tin-, peat woik, which, as appearances now indi cate, is to be accomplished without delay. Some of these troops, probably, are going to reinforce Gen Gram or to strengthen a column that is co(qieraliiig with him from Memphis. Others are, it is said, proceeding lo Memphis lo compose the corps of Gen MrCLxffXAXP, which is to co-ope rate with the gunboat flotilla. As yet, however, we have not seen the oih det i.--..i..n. t..u McCleskaxp to such an expedition, and only speak of what is common report. It is probable that, simultaneously with Gen. Guam's advance upon Jackson, Gen. McClerxaxo'b column will n ove upon Vicksburg. The gunboats are all ready for the work, and onl) await the siiuial from Admiral Porter to weigh anchor and steam toward Vicksburg. When the signal is given, look out for lively work When Admiral Porter starts he does not Halt al trifles. Ilrlrase of Politlral Prisoner. Both the arrest and release of political prison ers are conducted without any regard to equity, justice or responsibility. Citizens are arrested upon the affidavits of irresponsible parties, imprisoned and deprived of all their civil right, denied the pi i ilege of in vestigaiiug and con fronting the charges brought agaiust them, and then released as summarily, unadvised as to the con-ideraiioiis which influenced their disiuial This exercise of arbitrary power rivals the des potism of the darkest ages. The telegraph states that Mr. D. A. MaiioxsY, editor of tbe Dubuque Ihrald, has just been released from the prison in Washington, after siveral mouths' confinement. His friends, as well ss himself, msde every effort to a-cei fun the nature ol the charges against him, lor the purpose ol iui e-.tigi.iion, but this informs lion was rudely denied. At last it turns out, after months of confinement and degradation that there were no particular charges against him! His case is but an example of hundreds who have hern -innl.nily arrested. Like the prisoners who were released here he has been "honorably dis charged " This is no satisfaction lo citizens who have been treated as felons, whose loyalty has been impugned aud whose constitutional rights have been totally disregarded. It will be foend that scarcely an urrest has been made which was not instigated by personal or partisan malice. And these things have the asuciLti of the Ad ministration which represents a party that claims to be the peculiar friend of freedom and personal rights WauV men are thus oppressed while the negro is supported in idleness by the bounty of u,e Government History will not fail to record iu lilting terms these acts of oppression and in fa my Attempt to Defeat tne 1 1 1 of Unpeople. The editor of the New York Kxprrn . .1 i -Broors, who has jual been elected to Congress, says: Tbe only peril lo the conservative majorilv in the next Congress is bogus military members from the slave States, elected in camps by Aboli tion regiments, lo do Abolition duty in Congress. The Administration managers may have doubtless do have such bogus members of Congress in contemplation, and Texas may be represented with some of them, or Florida, or Virginia, per haps; but if it be attempted thus to rob the Northern people of their suffrage scd their rights, wo be unto the managers who make such revolutionary attempt

Exposition of Ttcl'f Han Plans. The following description of Gen. McClellax's plans we find in the Washincton Star, and if correct, will constitute bis best viudication from the charge for which he has been dismissed from his command: While k is very true that there has been nearly ever since he has been called to the command of the scattered, broken and dispirited forces of Pope, an issue between Geueral McClellan aud the military authorities here, with reference to the sufficiency of his supplies, (especially of liorses fit for 'cavalry and artillery service.) we are satisfied that the true reason for his delaying tbe order to fight; the battle which is probably to decide the result of the war, when and where he was ordered to do so by Geu. Hal leek, is a verv different one That order directed him to

ficht it in tbe Vallev. while, aa he evidently be lieved.he would be dsDrived of tbe assistance of i perhaps fiftv thousaud of his troops, regarded by him as necessary to be kept on the Maryland side at the fords, to save his rear and Maryland and Pennsylvania from the disastrous consequences of another raid of 8tuart's cavalry, which would almost surely bring about his defeat when the enemy accepted battle in the Valley, if by that time Stuart had succeeded iu cutting off his communi cation with Washington and Baltimore, and destroyed his suonlies. necessarily accumulated and left on this side of ihe river. He must also have been influenced by the fact that if permitted to follow his own plan of campaign, he could ob tain the assistance of from thirty to fifty thousand ttoope who could not be spared from guarding ihe National Capital so long as Lee's army was between his own and Washington; as it would continue to be, hsd he essayed to march directly from Harper's Ferry upon Lee in the Valley. His subsequent movements clearly demon strated the fact th.-t, however Jiis proverbial reticence may have induced him to keep the secret of j his plans in his own heart (tor fear that if any one here knew them they might possibly come lo the knowledge of the enemy), and thus to plead embarrassment from want of supplies, which may not have seriously existed, his declension to move when ordered so to do was really occasioned by his conviction that if he waited until the rise of the river made him 50.000 stronger for the movement from his immediate command, and 40,000 stronger from this vicinity, he could fight, not only with the assurance of victory, but just where victory would be likely to end the war iu favorof the Union. Had he essayed the battle in the Valley, with 1 out these additional 90,000 troops, he must have fought when and where Lee chose Had he been victorious iu it, the result would have simply been more or less loss of men and material on both sides, as at Antietam; with many other sub sequent battles as they fell back, at mountain passes, in all ol which the rebels would have had choice of position. He evidently preferred to wait until the elements permitted him to move in greatest force. In his progress to the point where he proposed to fight the enemy where he knew well the enemy must fight or soon surrender Rich moml without" a battle he left at everv gap at which Jackson (who remains in the Valley with from b000 to 20,000 troops) might possibly ; threaten his rear, a sufficient guard to hold it quite long enough to secure his communications with j his case of operations and supplies, and he stmdily pushed his army on lor the held ol his own choice We refer to the bauks of the Rapid in. the throat of Richmond, becsuse it is the defense of Oordonsville, through which the rebel capital receives three fourths of its sup plies of every description. He knew very well that Lee mu.t fight there to the sacrifice of his last man in its defense, as that if victorious there, Richmond would speedily be as much at his mercy as Washington would be at Lee's with the Potomac aa closely guarded as James river is, its communication with Frederick by turnpike as seriously threatened as Petersburg now is from Suffolk , and with Annapolis junction in the hands of a victorious enemy. Were such the situation of Wsshington, the time for which it could continue to hold out could easily be counted by hours; and it is evident to us that Gen. McCleHan's plan of campaign contemplated getting Richmond into that situa tion within a week from today at farthest. Hut ii has been determined by his superiors in command that Ihe cause of the country will be safer in other hands; and with his advance within thirty two miles of the point where the battle must take place that will probably de tide the fate of the war, he is prompt to obey the order directing him to repair to Trenton, New Jersey, and there await further orders. Itelenaed . Two more of the poHtteal prisoners who have been confined in the Government baslilc in this city for several weeks were yesterday released on account of the insufficiency of tbe charges Against them. Dr. Theodors Horton and Hon. II Di Slatkr, as pure patriots and as true friends of tho Government as can be found iu Indiana, are again permitted to walk forth as freemen. But a few days ago the Administration organ in this city, in an article a col ii inn long insisted most sisllivdy that Dr. Hortom bad uttered treasonable sentiments and was gidlty of "disloyal practices" in discour aging enlistments. It ststcd that the evidence of guilt was sustained by unimpeachable and highly respectable witnesses. Hut the Government ofli cials after a close scrutiny of tho charges against him and the evidence upon which they were found, bade him go free Here is another illustration of the partisan dishonesty and unscrupulous nesa of the central organ of the Republican parly of Indiana There is no degradation to which it will not stoop to gratify its party vin dictivencss. This is so evident that its detrac tlom no longer have any consideration or influence, sud the public attribute them to its malignity. However great the deprivation and inconvenience the confinement has been to Messrs. Slatkr and Horton, their triumphant acquittal from the charges against them, originating solely in partis.. n malice, is no lc- gratilung to their friends than it must be l themser es. How long will the Administration countenance the-e acts of injustice snd tyranny? There certainly can bo no occasion or justification for these arbitrary arrests in Indiana, aud no good can possibly come fin m tsiem. Terrorism In ivllaaoiirl. Those who are not acquainted with the teign ol terrorism are unable to comprehend why it was that Republicans were elected (o Congress from Missouri. The recent elections In that Bute in most instances were a farce. The results do not indicate the political sentiments of a majority of its cilitens.

It may be set down as truth, that no country li.i-.et succeeded in producing an iron plated steamer suitable for ocean navigation. Some of Hie Knglish or French might venture to sea with tolerable safety, and should weather favor, might make a trans Atlantic trip, but they would surely reach port badly strained and leaking uncom fortablv. Our own Monitors, it is notorious, are i wholly unfitted for sea navigation. The original Monitor reached il.implon Itoads before she reached the bottom, but it was only because the weather exjierienced was uot very boisterous, and owing to the bearing of the men, who re fu.ed to abaudou ar. Nor are her successors, though much improved, of a character to surmount this difficulty. It is evident, then, that vessels of this class are chiefly available for bar bor defense, to co operate with stationary walled batteries. Thus employed, we may well suppose that our harbors sre unapproachable by an en einy. Certainly they would prove formidable antagonists. For offensive warfare, we may regard it as a settled principle that these small, light-draft, slow gonig vessels arc wholly inade quale. They are useless for hostilities prosecuted abroad; they could not cope with a heavy iron-clad frigate, from their liability to be run down; uor could they break a blockade. Donald McKay, who is competent to judge in such ques lions, excepts only the frigate Ironsides, recently built at Philadelphia; and the newly plated steamer Vauderbilt, also the iron cased ram building by Win. H. Webb, of this city, will prove tili superior. As the case now stands, the steam vessels of the Americn Navy may lie comprised under two general classifications, via : wooden S teamen hf ocean service, and small iron clad batteries, carrying a few heavy guns, adapted to service in harbors and rivers Should we become involved iu a foreign war, the latter acting in concert with canemated works would lie our main reli ance for defensive operations, and consequently form an important arm of the National de Iciise It may lie well to inquire as to how far we are justified in depending for security on our Monitor Heel, but iu discussing this subject . some restraint is inqsised by considerations of expediency. Wo may say, however, that in the judgment of good nautical men they are not precisely the thing which we want, and that it is possible the Navy Department at Washington errs in multiplying vessels of this class lo a large extent while seagoing steamers are comparative neglected. France has ten iron cased Hotting batteries, lour large iron frigates and two rams, and has on the stocks ten iron frigates and four batteries which can he completed in one year if nece-sary The Kt.glish have six iron frigates, but are building seven iron ships and are casing five or six ships with iron. The United Stales, within the past year, has built seventy new vessels, and before April, 1H63, we shall have nearly one hundred, of which over fifty will bo iron clad. Only twelve of these are completed, but others are far advanced. The following is a Classification of iron clad vessels according to the lat Nnru Hei$ter: 1UUN CI,Ai STKAMKRM KINI8HRD.

We have heard a naval officer of high repute one who has exchanged many hard ahnta with the rebels from the deck of his favorite steamer assert that sixty guns can be efficiently mounted as floating batteries, where we now produce but a single Monitor. If ibis is susceptible of proof, it is an impor taut fact. The plan which seems specially to commend itself to the exigencies of the present time, I substantially seen in tbe immer Nangs

tock, built by Mr. Stevens, of Hoboken, which is little more than an ordinary boat constructed with compartments, so thai tbe whole may be quickly submerged to the water line for action, or pumped out and put in condition for fast sailing. This plan dispense- with the necessity for iron plating a log bulwark of soft wood being a good substitute; it is economical, as ordinary craft can be altered for war purposes at small expeuse, aud easily re -tored to use for tbe purposes of commerce; and vessels thus arranged can be maneuvered with a celerity impossible of attainment where heavy plating is employed. These riews obtain favor among intelligent naval officers, and they commend themselves to one's

common sense. It thev can be maintained, tneir adoption by the Government will save a large j expense, without impairing tbe efficiency ol our maritime defenses, and will suggest the expedi ency of directing a larger proportion of the funds to the construction of vessels of s heavier class, adequate to cope with the sea going steamers so much in favor iu Europe.

How the Agent of the Federal Adminittration Employed the Military to Intimidate Yotere and Drive Democrat from the Poll. The following is from the New York World of November 8: A bold attempt was made in Delaware to overawe the voters aud carry the State election for the Republicans by military terror. The Administration thought it important that a border slave State should present a show of indorsing its emancipation policy. Soldiers trom other States, enlisted to fight the rebels, were used to repel Democrats from the plls aud to frighten and coerce timid voters. The following state ment, copied from the Philadelphia Etening Journal, presents a part of the facts: "The information which we have from Delaware shows that a most shameful outrage has been committed against the freedom ol the elective rights of the people ol that Stile. On Mou day afternoon four companies of the Maryland Home Guards, under Col. Wallate, (gentlemen whose patriotism prompts them to refuse per emptorily to leave their State to fight their Southern foes, but does not restrain them Irom the invasion of the soil of a sister State for polit ical purposes encamped at Sea ford. "Shortly afterwards three steamboats loaded with soldiers, among whom were the 6th New York and the 12th Pennsylvania cavalry, arrived at the auis town. Thence they were conveyed by railroad and wagons to every voting precinct in Kent and Sussex counties, and, except at Seaford, where Geu. Wool . in pet-on, placed un der the orders of the most unscrupulous advocates of the abolition party. In some of the ptcciuct jhe Democrats were driven away Irom the polls, as in Baltimore Hundred, in Su-.-ex county; in others, tbe most prominent and iriflu ential Democrats were arrested and kept under guard until the polls wore closed. "This occurred in Dover Hundred, Kent county, and in Dagsboro' Hundred, Sussex county. In this latter Hundred some thirty Democrats were so treated, among them Mr. Aaron B. Marvel, late Auditor of the Democratic Sheriff elect. the State, and "In Dover, the capital of the State, the soldiers made two bayonet charges, the first to stop a fisticuff between two citizens, the second in mere wantonness, when there was no fighting. "The only disturbance which occurred al these polls was caused by the Hon. G. P Fisher, the Abolition candidate for Congress, who attackid and threw down a Democrat named Weeks. In most of the precincts Democrats were not allow ed to accompany voters to the poll, while Abo litionists took forcible possession of nil timid voters, surrounded them with soldiers, and force i them lo vote their ticket." The tact that this unwarrantable interference with the freedom of elections tailed of its pur pose does not mitigate it guilt The Democratic candidate for Governor and member of Congress are elected by small majorities; had the polls been free their majority would have been 1 ,6tK) or Ü.IKH). It is cr nsoling to know that this nefarious scheme of carrying au election lor the administration by military terror proved abortive; but it is nevertheless an act which no right think ing man can contemplate without indignation The only safeguard of our rights is in the fact that the defeat of the Republican parly was so general. If onlv two or three of the smaller Stales had gone Democratic, the election in those Stales would probably have been annulled by the arrest of the new officers on trumped up charges of treason.

It is one of those cases which apic.il to the hearts of freemen. The Government W loudly caliitl on to investigate and punish the offender against law, decency nnd manhood. Hut the Government at Washington is not the poser to be called on iu such a case. It is not necess'iv lot i lie Administration lo waste precious time with an oticus of this kind, of which the laws of New York have ample cognizance It is here that the investigation should take place, nnd tbe State authorities, the Grand Jury of the county and the Court of Oyer and Terminer or the Sessions, should administer justice.

The New York 0mmrrrii .ldVrfisrr ( Republican ; pronounces the case "a wrong and usurpation," and then aays: "A young married aomaii U "overshadowed" by. -ecu I sdicc espionage, traced and followed hetever -he c. ane-ied, -ecretlv hroughl to I this city, incarcerate!

The case is made known to Provost Marshal Draper, who acts kindly and promptly, and speedily relieves the female prisoner and res tores her to freedom. 1'he blame of Ibis affair does not rest umiii the Washington authorities It belongs right herein New York. The Gov eruor, the Police Commissioners, the Distrivt Attorney have duty to perform. Let one or all act with promptness." The Kreiling I 'out Kepuhlii-.ui says: "Hut if the ( eminent does not at once carefully aud thoroughly investigate the circum stances of the scandalous outrage, and punish to the extreme limit of its authority every one who had part iu it, it will be rightly held responsible by the people for a shameful abuse. As the case stand now, and on the showing of Mrs Krius made's friends, it wua an arrest made at the Instance of Kennedy alone, without warrant or au tbority from any member of the Government. "The order relating to the apMinltneni of Provost Marshals was issued on September Utiih, and in that enter their duties were carefully de tine I RR follows: Third It will be the duty of the special Pro rost Marshal lo arrest all deserters, whether regulars, volunteers or militia, and lo send them to the nearest military commander or military poat. where they can be cared for and sent to their re spective regiments; to arrest, u.ion the warrant of the Judge Advocate, all disloyal persons subject to arrest under the order of the War Department; to inquire into and report treasonable prar lices; seise stolen or embetsled properly of the Government; detect spies of the enemy, and per form such other duties as may be enjoined upon them by tbe War Department, and report all their proceedings promptly to the Provost Marshal General." It will be aeen that the authority to make arrests is strictly guarded; they ran only lie made "upon tue warrant ol the Judge Aiivocaie, a high and responsible offk er of the Government This is no more than right; it entrusts the power of ordering arrests lo the bauds o! one official only, aud every arrosl made without his order is a criminal usurpation ot authority by the person making it aud his accomplices, in w hich thev have no more legal right than any kidnapper who should choose lo steal women and children from ihe streets of our city.

R Aeexxi sue People of Itifliswtat Indiana has at ibis time nearly one hundred thousaad of her sons in tbe field enduring tbe hardships and privations incident to the life of soldiers. They have gone forth at the call of their ewantrr to defend with their lives the Constitution aud Government under which we live. Thousands of these brave and patriotic men have lei l behind them lamtlies with temporary provision only for their support. In many cases these families, during the approaching winter, a ill be in need of the ordinary comfort aud necessaries of life and destitute of the means of procuring them. Many of them are too spirited to ask for assistance: others, uuless some system is

adopted lor their relief, will not kuow apply The soldier's pay is often long delayed; hie own necessities require s portion of it, and the remainder is frequently greatly delsyed in being transmitted to his family. It requires no o arguall hie ment to prove that, even if he sends money home, one hundred and fiftv six dollars s year is a very scanty support for a family, eapatriotic and liberal citizens of the State to apply the proper remedy. It is their solemn duty to see that the needy are cared for; that, while the soldier is braving the perils of the battle field, his wife and children, and all who are dependent ; on him, are made comfortable at home; and es I peciaiiv that bis children are provided with books and afforled opportunity to attend school. This ; is not charity, but a sacred obligation which I should be met promptly and willingly, and the re i cipients should be made to feel that they are not objects ot chanty, and that what they receive is but the partial discharge of a debt of the most binding character. It may be urged by many that they have already given largely and sacrificed heavily for these benevolent objects. nd hence they ought to be excused from further drafts. It may be asked, in reply, what are these sacrifices compared with the sacrifices of families who have given their natural supporters and protectors to the cause of their country 1 What is the sacrifice of the man living comfortably at home, even though he give half his income, to thai of the man who ha- left bis family and home and gone to the field? The land is full of wealth, the harvest has been bountiful, and there can be no reasonable excuse for allowing the needy to suffer iu a country like this I would, therefore, respectfully and earnestly request, that in every township, in every town, and in every ward of the everal cities in the State, some systematic plan, by means of regularly organised committees or Auxiliaiy Aid Societies, be at once adopted for relief. To Ministers of the Gospel 1 would sav, no nobler work that this can engage the time you may have at your dis,s.il Much can be done by appeals from the pulpit and by personal efforts with the people; by visiting the families of soldiers, ascertaining their wants and seeing that they are regularly suppl y) The Township Trustee- in the several counties, on account of their familiarity with local affairs, will lie able to render great assistance in the humvtic work by giving a portion of their lime and efforts to the relief of the needy and distressed In ll measures of relief which may be adopted I must respectfully and confidently bespeak the hearty aid and co-operation of the noble women of Indiana. Actuated by the purest patriotism and always foremot in deeds of love and mercy, they mav here find an extensive held for the ex ercise of many kindly offices to the advantage and comfort of the distressed; their words of encour agement will cheer the hearts of the ÄS and disconsolate, and their example other to undertake the ssme good work.

The early train on S it unlay morning over the Central road look a number of the Democrats of the Capital to Cambridge City, to rejoice with their brethren of the Uurut District over the result of the recent elections. A large gathering and an enthusiastic one was expected, but tbe crowd that apticared on the arrival of the train was so immense that the ludiauapoliuua opened their eves iu wonder when thev stepped from the cats at their journey's end, and mingled with the I' i oil- in i- -cs that thronged the street! ol l'm bridge. From Knihtstown, whenever a glimpse of the Nat onal Road was obtained as the train swept onward, carriages and wagons, filled with people, were observed journeying east. At Lewisville a long procession, witn the stars and stripes waving above the vehicles, was passed. They were greeted with the waving ot handkerchv ri lioin the rtrs. and replied by hearty cheers. I bis, we afterwards lee med, was a portion of the ku-li County delegation, on their way to the festival It would be a waste of time to those who kuow the whole souled and whole hearted Democracy ol Wayne County, snd of Cambridge City especially, to tell with what genuine kindness our I party was received, and so of invited guests ! from every other direction. Those alio do . not know that Democracy should get acoiiainted with them as soon as possible. 1 LtUoiing, ss thet haw I n dnmp for tears, in j a district hopelessly given over to tne blackest i kind of A I 'lit i .ii i-in . it one kind ran tie blacker j than another, they have maintained their princi pies pure from the vile contamination and their hearts flow out iu kindness when thev grasp the hands of the faithful. As Mr. Hendricks in his sssech well remarked, it is something great to be a Democrat in the Hurnt District, something to boast ol an evidence that a man p'aced principle ab-ive the hope of reward or the lavora and threats of power. Herein Marion county where loi the la-t few veai the iron heel of all the "isms" haa sought lo crush out every vealageof political purity, we can well sympathise with the Democracy of Wayne. Indeed there is another bond of sympathy It was the lower strata of the Abolitionism ol Wayne and Henry, bought br R corrupt faction here, that first corrupted our ballot boxes and gave us up, bound baud and loot, to a system ol bauds iu elections Ibat keep us in a state of serfdom so far as our city and county government is concerned. TUR ram EBSioa When we aaw the thousands of vehicles rrowding everv street iu the tow u and strung along every road approaching to it, and the dense masses of people, we wondered when a programme was placed In our hands how a procession was to be organised.
