I.NDiA.vAroLis, May 25th ) I propos that Tie people of Indiana hall pnr chase a tract of land, say one hundred acre?, in the neighborhood of Indianapolis, tobe converted into a Cemetery, ftr the burial of Indiana officers and soldier; that upon this ground a Moimment shall be erected upon which shall be inscribed the names of the battles u which Indiana troops have been er gaged; that the ground shall be appropriately laid off into lots, with paths an J car. riage ways, and adorned according l the design, and under the direction of a competent person or board; that a lot shall be designated and set apart for each Indiana regiment and battery, upou which doubtless the regiment and .batteries will erect monuments or memorials, according to designs and bearing inscriptions to be determined on and furnished by themselves; that all Indiaua officers and soldiers, whenever and wherever they die, whether during the war , or after peace shall have been restored, shall be entitled to be buried in this cemetery. And to tlii end I propose that subscription books be opened to every couutt in the State, and invite all persons who are grateful to our soldiers and revere their memories to subscribe at least one dollar. A meeting will be called to select persona to open subscription books and prepare articles for a legal association., which all persons ' friendly to the enterprise are invited to attend. O. P. Moto, Governor of Indiana. Tbe Interest Question. - The Journal, or His Excellency, seems tobe vety averse to submitting the question as to the right of the State officer to paj the interest upon the State's debt without legislative appropriation, to the decision of the Courts. The Governor thinks thai the laws authorize them to do eo. They think otherwise, Who then is to decide the isjne between them? What are tbe Courts for, unless to determine controverted questions? We venture the statement that no man knows what the opinion of the Supreme Court Judgrs mar be upon the question. We are williag to trust their Intelligence aud Integrity to decide the question. There is one thing certain. The Constitution and laws of the State clearly prohibit the State officers from disbuisiug nxaiey from the ' Treasury, unless in pursuance of appropriations nude by law. And they have fust, as much re ganl for the lar.fcor of the State as the Governor. They have rt right to assume any responsibility Ja tbe matter, and the object of the legislation of li?53 and lrCl was to place such guards around the public treasury as to prevent them from doia as their predecessors had done in that rgaid. This the Governor well understand, and it should be bis purpose to relieve the at from any eucb embarrassment. The Governor has a remedy for the difficulty at his control, Hisowa political friends are at fault for the Legislature not making all neces sary appropriations. Tbe Constitution empowers him to convene the General Assembly in special .session whenever the public interests demand it. That is tbe best aud safest way to get out of the difficulty. In ten days he can have the Legisla- . tare in session, in ample time to make the appropriations to meet tbe interest upon the public : debt and for all other purpose which the welfare and integrity of the State requires. tt Infinite Liar." Under tins caption, tbe Journal devotes a col- . oma anJaa&lf to a review of tbe Chicago Time' account of the rat's mee in of the 2:th inst. We extract the fallowing from tbe article of our coteropoxary for a few comments thereupon: 'ow, take a supeib specimen of ihe lie mean, - devilish sod abominable: , "All the streets leading to headquirters were strong! guarded a couple of blocks away, and o citixena were allowed to p.

A section of battery al the Arsenal wis trained upon the Speiker's sund of the Convention. A section of a battery at the Armory was so trained as to ro3 fire with the other batteries ' upon and around the stand. Two thirds cf the cavalry in tbe cny were drawn up in line the men in their tddls be hind tbe Arsenal buildings, teady for a charge. All the batteries were provided with proper infantry support: and 11 the soldiers in the city, includiug some paroled prisoner, were under arms. Sacb were the preparations nude for the ds turbance wluh it was hoped the everbearing air of the military authorities, their insnlta and unwarranted arrests, would provoke..' Had any disturbance been made which could have bees construed iuto a preteit. the batteries . would have open! npon the seventy five thousand Indianiana, as tliey stood, tfoij crowded toget'.ier, with shell and cannister, and cavalry ; and infntry would have completed the terrible work." Would any tane nun who attended the meeting have believed it possible that any degree of . mendacity could invent such infernal lies? Every word is a lie, every lagzrjtion ft fiendish at tempt to stir, op war bvtweea the Democracy and the army. v - ' The Sentinel U not alnid to aay what it thinks. Will it Indorse this statement? There were troopi la the Oortrcor's Grele, and tU aever

left it all day for a moment. There were troops at headquarters, but they interfered with nobody. There were guards in the streets near headquarters, but they stopped nobody, and had no authority to do so. There was no cannon at tbe Arsenal "bearing on the speker"s stand," or anything else. There was no cannon at the Armory at all. There was no cavalry at the State IIoue except those that went from mere enriosity. There were no "batteries" anywhere. Two guns were placed in the street at headquarters, and that was all the "battery' "cannon," or "artillery," of which such a fearful list of pieces. "wepin;" this utreet and that avenue, is given by this unequalled liar that was in the city that day. The report of the Times is in tbe main correct, as thousands of the people of Indiana well know. Let us briefly examine its statements. The streets leading to headquarters were

strongly guarded. There were five companies stationed within one square of the headquarters on Virginia avenue, Maryland and Delaware streets Arms were stacked across the?e streets, and "no citizens were allowed to pass," without ft permit from headouarters. For the truth of this statement we refer to Mr. Newman, Presi dent of the Central Railroad Company, and the employees of that officer. They had passes from headquarters to enable them to go through tbeos lines to their place of business, and citizens were not allowed to attend Mass at the German Catholic Church on Maryland street, next, to head quarters. A tfdion of a battery, two pieces, was placed upon Virginia avenue, "in such a way as to rake it," and "a eomrniiy of infantry was ported at the outlet to Washington street " For the truth of this statement we re.'er to any military officer who was at headquarters on the 2Dih. There were two brass pieces at the old arsenal, nnlimbered, and "rained." position which mil itary men well understand is lor duty. They were pointed, or could easily be, toward the State H mseyard. In addition there were sx pieces of artillery facing the west. The horses to these bttieries, the caissons and the men to man them were iu the arsenal yard all day, ready for duty These facts are well known and cannot be suc cessfully controverted. There is an error in the statement in regard to ft section of a b Utery being placed at the armory, so trained as to ctom fire with the other bat teiies upon nod ' around the ppcaker's stund. There was a section of a battery, however, at the new arsenal ormiguiua near the-Deaf and Dumb Asylum, and we understand the locks were taken from the guns stored there. The cavalry were upon duty that day, but in sections of twenty. Atone time, during the af ternoon, a large number surrounded the Slate House yard, upon the sides where the meeting was held, and prevented the passage of people to and from the yard, but the panels of the fence were not removed. The men were ready for service all d.iy. The batteries and cavalry were provided with infantry supports and most of the soldiers in the I city were under arms all day. Companies of in fantry and cavalry occupied the Governor's Circle, and the Journal itself stated iu its issue the morning after the Convention that f uch was the case, and that the place was selected on account of its shade and convenience. The Journal savs that every word of the Times' account is a lie, end "every suggeatioo a fiendieh attempt to stir up war between the Democracy and tbe army." This the Journal knowa to be false. It stated in its account of the proceedings oT the Convention, that order and peace were preserved by the very military arrangements, which it now has the effrontery to deny. And then in its next issue it attributes the interruptions and disturbances at the meeting to soldiers and coudemns them therefore. Here is a double censure First the soldier are blamed, and then the officers are iuferrentially censured for not being able to control them. Now, hat inut be thought of a pres which will publish such uubluahing misstatements? We know that the guards ou the streets leading to headquarters w ere instructed not to pet mit citizens to piss through them without s permit. There were no full " batteries' anywhere, but there wete $cction$ of batteriea in ditfereut parts or the city We ask the Journal, what is the use of Us lying heu the facts we have stated are kuowu to thousands by actual observation? , There may have been a necessity for this military display or preparation, but we "cau't see it." And in referring to the matter now, it is not for the parpo of attributing auy blame or censure to any soltLer or officer on duty that day. They were acting under orders, and we suppose they were instructed to do just what they did. Iu lead of any inteution to stir up strife between the soldier aud citizen, the reverse is the fact. We have a hih respect for the soldier who responds to the call of hid country and endures the priva lions, sufferings and dangers of the camp and field in its service. The people of Indiana, without distinction of party, sympathize with the soldier, and everything will be done by them that can be to give a practical evidence of it. They honor the memory of those who have fallen: they will provide for those who are disabled and need their care, and they will stand by those who are yet in the service. Incentives to JIols Violence. Referring to some of the signs of the times, the Boston Post remarks very forcibly, as follows: We have said that nothing eanjattify an act of mob violence, and we repeat it. But it is idle to say that a rood deal of the action f the Republi can party is not calculated to excite tbe fiercest passions, and ied-to the gravest results The furious advocates of every treasonable license of speech, tut long as it eouldJerid us an impulse toward that ruin they were preparing for us, they have, ever since their assumption of power, striren.by intimidation and personal violence, to supjaess all free discussion, or even freo social communication, upon political subjects; they have I seized without legal warrant, and lorn from their nomes nonoreus oi eii'zenp; oeiu mem nn-arcer-ated witliout "process of law; refosed them hear ing or trial, and finnlly turned them out of tbe prison doors ignorant of even the motive of the ontrny e. And, where they have dared to do so, they have never hesitated to destroy by nxjb, violence Democratic prewe and printing offices. They must not be sorprised if their example is at length imitated. They are mistaken if they sap pose that human patience and endurance have no limits; nor need thsy thick that they enn destroy the property and inflict violence on the personsof those who reject their political creed, or remonstrate against their illegal and high-handed acts, without some time bavins the poisoned chalice commended to their own lips. J2f The State Journal says that nmong the arrests made during the Democratic Mass Meeting, "was the Deputy Sheriff of Fort Wayne, who rc(ued to ler.d a hand toward s opping the late disgraceful riot in that city." This ia a lie made outof whole cloth. The Dephty Sheriff of AUeo county not only wsyyr arrested, but was not even in .Indianapolis at that lime. He was at home attending to bis official duties. Mr. Hall, one of our County Commlseloners, ft thorough Republican, and the only Republican official in the eoonty, however, was arrested for crossing the lines formal by the soldiers in tbe streets of Indianapolis. He told them he was ft Republican, bot as he could not give the secret signs of the Loyal Leagues, he wss disbelieved, and Jogged. He was the only man frotrj Allen souuty who was arrested.

Special Correspondence of the Chicago Thnes J ' ' Washington, May 19. There has been no change in the position of the Army of the Potomac since my letter of May 13, nor ia there any indication whatever that a movement will be made before the end of this month. Hundreds or officers, of 11 grade?, have pwsed thVoufth this city on their way North, on brief furloughs, during the last week, and thia fact alone, would be sufficient to shjw that no movement is at present contemplated. Indeed, the army ia in no condition to assume the offensive. The Administration organs the same papers who asserted so positively, on trie 9:li onu 11th of May, that "Hooker's army has again crossed the river" an assertion which was proved to be a falsehood on the 12th these same papers now say that the army ia in fine spirits, aud eager to be led against the enemy again. But I am war ranted by the best testimony the testimony of dozens of officers anJ men from each army corps in saying that thia is not so; that there is no henrt left ia the army, as long as Hooker commands it; and, more than that, that the losses in the late battle, so far from having been overetlmiied, are much greater than was stated, and will reach 20,000 men. Of Gen. Slocum's army corps alone, the 12ili, there are now 1,700 wounded ling in one hospital, besides those that still remiio in the enemy's hand The fearful accouut of those who weie left to linger in agony for three days, and then to die at last, has not yet been tendeied.and probably never will be. The loss sustained bv the army, too, in the return home of thirty eight regiments of veteran troops, is very great. They are by far the liest regiments in the army, fully equal in every re siiet tto regular trootH. and their los cannot be replaced If the Administration had had any foresight at all, it would hav jrovided lonz ago for this enierj.'eucy. There are several States where the dr ift ordered hist tear has never been enfoiced, and in these States the administration could easily . have raised 50,M)0 troops three months ago, and had them now in a tolerable state of efficiency-at least enough so to fill up the depleted corps of Hooker's army. The consequence of failing to do this will le that Hooker's army will now be unable to do anything more than to act on the rlef'ensire until the conscription actis enforce I, uuless it is joined by troops now employed elsewhere. The f cts thut have come to light during the l..-t week show that the work accomplished by Gen. Sionemau's cavalry, iu their recent expedition towards Richmond, really amounted to noth ing at nil, so far as any re d d.ini ite to the ene my was concerned, or any interruption to his railroad communication' This, however, was no fault ol Gen. StonPiii in's. The blame lies with either Halieck or Hooker, for not sending Stone man oft on this expedition ou the 27th, so that he coulJ h ive accomplished that fur which he was sent, nml h ire returned to Hooker's army intime to h ive pa:licipated iu the battles of the 2d, 3d, and 4th of May. All the damage that was done to the southern railroads has been repaired long before no Joe Hooker ia being as badly abused now, by mot of the Abolitiou paper, as he w as formerly nnduly praised. Tho New Yoik Post, the New Yok Tribune. and even the Nortli American end the Press of Philadelphia, are now snarling at and abusing him for his ridiculous mistakes and egregrious blui.ders. I hope you can find room for Knme f these "Disloyal Gems." That in the Press is paiticularly rich. When our combined fleet and army were de fei ted at Charleston on the 7th of March. Mr. Lincoln hastened to assure the world that it was not even a repulse, but only a check, and that the attack should be immediately resumed. .Ten weeks have now el ipsed, aud "immediately" has not yet come. When Hooker was so shamefully defeated on the 1st and 2d inst., Mr. Stanton hastened to assure the world that no rerious disaster to the artnv "had taken pi ice, and that the army would speedily resume offensive operations.'' Fif'eeti days hve since elapsed. Hooker lies still, and makes no sign of moving; and it is utterly im;sMble that his army can move for month Queer men there Administration people. Wh itdothev mem by "immediately'.' and "speedilt ?". , Ami doe Stanton mem tosiy that the loss of "J 1,0(10 triMij.. put AW du combat, is Do "serioas disaster?" Ii i n lo-a jhat so crip pics the army that it cannot moe. Is that no "serious diister?"' That loss and the loss of confidence in ILoUer have demoralized the army. Is tint no "serious diMsfert" Is i' not time that the Administration should reae to deceive the people bv declara'ions so utterly al variance with the truth? , The work of enlisting nero soldiers proceeds very slowly. The negroes, as a general thing, all over the country, are averse to entering tbe army notao mach lor fear of eettius killed, as because they fear falling into the hands of their old masters, and Heins sold aiu into slavery. Thev are well satisfied of the inability of the Administration to prevent the latter fate in cape they are captured; and this. to, notwithstanding the assertion of Mr. Stanton "That negTO soldiers shall stand upon the same footing, in all respects, as white soldiers." The Americans. of African descent are witer iu their generation than the Americans of European descent; for, while the latter have been prone to swallow ali the Mun chauseu stories that it has pleased the Adminis tration tosend to them, the latter, with a cunning sagacity which is oneof their traits, have steadily refused to be duped, either by Mr. Lincoln's visionary schemes of Central American colonization, or by the glittering and meaningless generalities of Mr. Stanton's promises. . Still, by the use of instrumentalities by no means creditable to the Administration, including the expendituie of money iu lavish profusion, the Wsr Department calculates on having under arms, by the end of August, 5U.IKX) of these black fellows, under Abolition white officers. . . .. . . X. 57Tbe Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Independent, of May 12, says: It is yet doubtful what will, be done with Mr. Vallandigham. It is reported here that Mr. Seward says it was a great mistake for Gen. Burnside to arrest him that he should have been brought before the CourU and tried for treason. If this is Mr. Seward's position, he exhibits unusual sagacity. The time has not yet arrived when there is a necessity of arresting citizens and trying them by court-mvrti tl in the States where the conflict of arms does not rage. If Gen. Buruside may, with proprietv, ignore the civil courts in Ohio, so may Gen. Dix lu New York, and the next s'.ep will be, perhaps, the arrest of every editor in New York who offends Gen. Halieck by criticir tos upon his course. . For it must be remembered that it is the General who arrests, who is sole . judge of the necessity, and if a half dozeu officers can be found ho believ 'fi.it criticims npon the General in-Chief tend tc ?vil in the army, then your Washington corret ondent and the editors of tbe Independent may soon be sentenced to the Dry Tortugae! There are n liberties for the citizen if the new military doetrine prevails. The belter course ia to stick to law and order, and iu tbe peaceful States .to prosecute men in the civil courts for treasonable acts. . The experience oi 1862 certaiuly shows this. The President hesitates, and wisely. He doubtless dislikes to seem to shrink from a colli sion : with the copperheads. If Vallandigham goes free again,. '.It will agree that it was a blunder that the arrest was made; but the Brecident cannot evade the blunder, aud he is forced to i'ecidö the case upon its merits. , Rebel Pjtisosias Over fifty Rebel prisoners were brought up from Henderson on the Star Grey Eagle this morning, and sent to the military prison. at Louisville. They were in cliarge of a guard of tbe6iih Indiana, by which regiment they were all captured. Among the prisoners wns Capt. Jack Thompsou, a notorious Rebel of Owensboro.and formerly Clerk of Daviess county. All the prisoners were captured in the Green river country, and many of them have been guilty of the most outrageous crimes being members of guerrilla parties, and in their raids plundering and outraging Union citizens wherever they found them. Col. Foster has been a faithful officer in his department, end il is almost wholly to his energy and watchfulness that the people of the Green river country are indebted . for their riddance of these savages of the war. rN.

The term infantry is said to be derived from an event in Spanish history. An Infanta of Spain having assembled a body of troops, and marched to the aid of her father, by their aid defeated the Moors; the foot soldiers were, in consequence, held io greater estimation than before, and were distinguished by the came of the person w ho had led tbem on to victory.' The New Call oa Troon. The Provost Marshals have instructions from Washington to hurry up the enrollment; and a. call for .100,000 men, it is said, will be made some time in June, or by the 1st of July. The followiug rules will be embraced in the cell: 1. The selection of recruits without regard to officers, or new regiments; in this way avoiding or evading the constitutional provision which bllows the States to select officers of miliiia raised within their own territory. 2. Men conscripted will be at once mustered into service, uniformed, rationed aud assigned to regiments, after a few days preliminary instructions. 3. Etch State will be credited with tbe time for which her troops have ct&ated. One three years' man in New York will reckon as mach as four nine months from Pennsylvania. New York may have to raise 40,001) men. Gex. PorE. If the President is wise, he will release Vallandigham, dismiss Burnside, and send Gen. Pope to comman I that department. Notwithstanding the errors which have been attributed to Oeu Pope, he has never failed nn der proper circumstances to respect the civil authority and the lawful rights of the people. A year ao, it was believed his official dis patches were exaggerations, but they were pure truth i'gelf'in comparison with the dispatch of Stanton sent out concerning the late battles of General Hooker. We have so far progressed downward fince Gen. Pope retired from active command, that what was deemed his faults then have now become shining virtues. His record, iu short, is brighter than that of any other officer of his rank. Grant only excepted. Should Gen. Pope be sent to Cincinnati there is not a shade of a doubt that the change would be hailed joyously by both troops and people. Milwaukee Newa. Stomwall Jacksox. Rev. Mr. McMullen, of this city, in his last Sabbath day discourse, eulogized the high character and eminent piety of Sionett; all Jackson as entitled to all praise and worthy the emulation of our Generals. The secret of Jackson's prestige and success was his sublime faith in the God ol battles, and we need not expect success to cur urni3 until our Generals had recognized their allegiance to the Great Ruler oT the univeie and their humble reliance upon the arm which is mighty to save He alluded in this connection to the celebration of high mass in the tent of Gen. Rosecrans before accepting tbe issue of battle it Stone river, as oue of the most impressive scenes of the war. The whole army teemed lo share in the inspiration of that hour, und a great victory was won by the valor of our troops and the blessing of God. Lafayette Courier. .. Pehteesiojc or Latin Quotations. Some of the radical demagogues, as well as some of the Abolition journals, quote the Latin phrase inter arm silent lege without knowing what it means. The interpret it ss if it meant that in a period of war the civil laws are not in operation, which is ßimp!y absurd. If France is at "war with England, is the civil law suspended? Il Entrland is at war with France or any other country, is the civil law for the time being null and void? By no means. In our Revolutionary war, or the wnr of lt?13 15, and in the war with Mexico, the civil law was mi suspended, unless within military lines. The meaning of the phrase is literally just what common ene woakl afeiigu to it. In the scene of actual conflict the civil liws are silent: that is, in the country where military operations are ranted on, within the lines of armies in the- fiehli lii-einHiw-.ie miepaii Jd Sfd military law prevails.

You are about to enjoy that repose to which you are so justly entitled, and to receive a portion of tbat pay you have so hardly and honorably earned.

The following suggestions of the Uotiloit Daily Advertiser are timely and important: It will be agreed on all on hands tbat the conscription should be conducted with absolute fair ness, and it is important that tbe fact that it is tbua conducted should be made palpable to every body. We desire to suggest, therefore, to those who may have it in charge, the adoption iu what we believ is the French mode, namely, to make public the whole list of persons liable to conscription in each district, bud on a given day to draw a number far evch person. The conscription will then include as many as may be necessary of those who happen to draw the smallest numbers. In this way, everybody is. sure that the chances are equal. When the plan is to put names (not numbers) iu the wheel, as was done in the case of the draft last fall, there is room for the puMic to doubt whether all the names were really placed hi tho box, to begin with No analogous doubt can possibly arise under the other plan. tl?The Chicago Tribunes a journal that is doing more to embarrass the Government and divide the people than almost any other in the country, publishes, &c.

Comment" of tbe Republican Press on tlie Vallandifrnani Cuse. " . From tbe Springfield (Mass.) Republican. - Clement L. Vallandigham has written from his place of confinement to make an appeal to all Democrats, to his country, and to time, to vindi cate his cause agjinst unjust men. The last of these invocations is repeated with an eamestness which indicates a sincere and affecting belief that futurity will restore his rights and honor his memory! Time has indeed not seldom wrought like this to set ou high forever those whom all things at first had agreed together to despise and trample on. And there has not been wanting often to such.

The arrest and trial of Mr. Vallandigham by military authoritv Ss creating considerable sensation in politic il circles, and may lead lo unpleasant results At a meeting called at Albany to express condemnation of the act an attempt was made by aome returning soldiers to break up the meeting by force. It is well known that we have co sympathy with Vallandigham or those who sympathise with him. but we must express our regret that the arrest took place, and especially that he was arrested by military authority and condemned by a ourt-martial. We believe wiih Gov. Sevmourof New York, that the civil authority is ample to satisfy the lav, and to (Hit down treason at the North. The arrest of Mr. Vallandigham will create a wide spread discontent, not on his account, but for what wiil be deemed an encroachment upon the rights of the people He was condemned by the people of Ohio iu his Distr'ct, last fall, when he ran for Congress, which of itself is a sufficient guarantee that he could do no harm. By arresting him in an arbitrary manner, a sympathy is created in his behalf, and he becomes a martyr at once. ' The whole Democratic party will be called upon to vindicate his cause, and will be forced by designing men to act through the organization of the party; whereas, if he could have bet-n left alone, be could have done no harm. We are fearful that the arrest and conviction of Vallandigham by the military authorities, if sustained by the Administration, will lead to serious consequences, and will weaken its hold npon the peoThe whole system of political persecution, gotten up for political effect, is unwise, uncalled tot, and will be productive of mischief, and "nothing but mischief. All such men as Vtllandtgham may be safely left to the people in the free States to atttend to through tin ballot box, while the Government is exerting itself to put down the rebellion at the South. From tbe Kewbaryport (Maas.) Standard. We freely concede to any one the same right to criticise the Administra tion which we claim Tor ourselves. If we disapprove of a pro slavery policy, w? expect to say no without molestation. Let those who disapprove an anti-slavery policy do the same A Government or an Administration which cannot permit criticism, is not fit for a free people. We have no faith in what Is called unconditional loyalty. if it meaus tbat it is necessary to give mi indiscriminatiingand passive acquiescence to every act of those in power. Hence, while we are convinced that the motive which impel Vallandigham and his sympathizers are bad, we do not believe in silencing them by force. We hate confidence in the power of trvh to conquer where there is freedom of discushion And at a time when we see the opinion? wc have so long advocated in the face of many who would gladly hare silenced us, so rapidly gainiug favor amrug the people, we think there is no need of attempting to Mint the mouths of such men as Vallandigham If we are successful, all his tirades will fall unheeded. If we are unsuccessful and continually so, no power on earth can prevent the formatiou of such ft public opinion as will compel a changs of policy on the part of the Administration, or lead to the election of a new one. Let us have faith in the power of truth, aud oppose those we believe to be in error with the weapon of truth, and not of force, a very effectual Argument, it is true, but one which is apt to return and plague those who employ it. y . . - ; " from the Albany Journal. -.Wendell Phillips Worse titan any "Copperhead." .

Warsaw Union: I have receive! a copy of your paper of the 8th Inst., in which you boldly proclaim vonr intention to violate Order No.9. My object in addressing you is to give you a fair warning, and to give you nn opportunity to retract the ohjectiou able matter in your paper of the 8th. A failure to attend promptly to this admonition will not be overlooked. 1 am, sir, yours very truly, MiloS. IIascall. Brig. Gen. Vols. Com'd'g D'ist. TheaboTe letter was i-eceived last week, too late to do more than say that we could retract nothing that had previously appeared in our columns. We feel that it is our duty to lay Gen. HascaU's letter before our readers that they may understand the position of affairs under tbe new regime of Indiana. Tb letter does not point out tbe alleged "objectionable matter." It would, therefore, be impossible to retract if we were disposed to do so. We say, as we hare heretofore said, that far as Order No. 9 seeks to prevent the people from criticizing the policy of the Administration, it is illegal and of no force or effect whatever, contravening as it does the fundamental law of the State and of the United States. "The right to criticise the act of our public servants is as undeniable as the right to breathe tbe pure air of Heaven." If a military commander, by bis order, has the right to prevent criticism in a public speech, he has tbe right to prevent it in private Conversation, which would be an exercise of arbitrary power that would not be tolerated by a free people. The Constitution of this State provides that the military shall be subservient to the civil power. . Section 33 is as follows: "Tbe military shall be kept in strict subordination to the civil power."

If Order No. 9 is to be carried out aecording4 to tne interpretation put upon it by Gen. HaJcall. it places the liberty of pjech, of the press, and of the person at bis mercy, and renders the civil power subservient to the military, in direct violation of the above provision. There is no rebellion or sympathy with it in Indiana. The civil law - is ample for a redress of grievances, and will preserve peace and harmony throughout the State. Theie can be no possible reason for thus int rfering with the undoubted right of the citizen except the determination of the Administration to maintain its power by army means, necessary to r fleet that end. If the force that Ins been placed at the disposal nf Gen. Hascall to enforce this order were placed iu the field to operate ag.inst the enemies ol the country, it would be more in accordance with good sense, and would certainly redound very much to ihe credit of the powers that b We hope to see the press of the Suite assume that high position which the times demand. We all owe allegiance to the Constitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof; alwais have and always will obey theui, uphold and maintain them as the anchor of our hopes.. But military decrees promulgated in States wherein .the inhabitants are truly loyal, are calculated to irritate the peonle and to trample under foot the priceless prrncioles of constitutional liberty. So long as we have control of this paper so long as we have guaran .ied to us the liberty of speech we will, to the extent of our humble. ability, and at every personal sacrifice maintain the inalienable rights of the people against all encroachments. And we ask of the people peaceably, quietly, and in & Constitution! and legal way, to rebuke all efforts to strike down the freedom of speech and the liberty of the press. Warsaw Union. From Charleston Matemen tof a Re liable Lady. A lady was in this city last week, who has been in South Carolina for more ihau two years, a great portion of which has been passed in Charleston. ' She went out' there from a city In Massa cbusetts, under the patronage of Mr. Memminger, now a member of the Rebel Cabinet, as ft teacher in one ot the public schools, which that gentleroau waa instrumental in inaugurating in Sou la Carolina. Ou the breaking out of hostilities, and the attack by the Rebels on Fort Sumter, she waa desirous of returning to the North; the people, bowever, would not permit it, :nd she has remained theie pursuing her avocation as a teacher until a date which we shall name. Just previous t the recent attack upon Fort Sumter by the Federal fleet, she had obtained permission to return North, aud was about making her arrangements to leave, when being down at Sumter she ascertained that an attack was daily expected, and consequently returned to the city. While there he dined with the officers, and overheat d a conversation in which one of them "wichet to God that the Union flag might at that moment be floating over the Fort; be wag getting tired and sick of this war." Others of the party expressed themselves in a similar strain . Before she left Charleston she seceived a portion of het stipulated salary in gold, and the balance was invested in cotton for her benefit, o be sent through the blockade to Nassau. The day aller the bombardment of the fort by the Federal fleet, the steamer having obtained a paps from Suiuter, put to sea, passingNlhrough the eatire blockading fleet without eliciting a shot, or t-eemingly attracting attention, aud arrived at Nassau in safety. She was a passenger on board the etemier. She says that before leaving Charleston hailx r, the Captain'put all his boils on shore without giving any reason therefore, and after they had got a short distance at sea, she noticed hint detaching a torpedo from the steamer, when he told her that it had been his determination, in case they were sttacked with liny certaiuty of being taken, to have blown up the steamer with all on board, rather than she bhould fall into the hands of tbe Federals. , While at Newport, tbe lady displayed a pair of French gaiters, which she had .on.ber feet, for which she paid $18 in Charleston. She confirms the report in .relation to high prices there, but says there is no real famine of goods of any description, the greatest lack being in tea, coffee, salt, molasses, Lc. She says there is little if any real suffering thete; labor $4 to $6 per day. and there is a free market for the poor, so that the wants of all are tolerably well supplied. She says further there was little if any alarm in Charleston, inconsequence of the tecent attack upon the fort, as all felt confideut of the ability of the fort, aided by the obstructions in the river, to resist the fleet Hundreds were attracted by curiosity lo the most sightly places to witness tbe bombnrdment. , .

The Detroit Advertiser very justly attacks poor Greeley as a "political nuisance." ,To this poor Gieeley replies that "if the editor of the Advertiser aforesaid will be good enough to return tbe two hundred dollars he borrowed (or was it begged?) of us to establish himself in said paper, be shall be welcome to say what he pleases of us thereafter." This is all vry weil ; but the tditor of the Advertiser should send the money to us, not to poor Greeley. We have a fund in charge for tbe settlement of poor Greeley's pecuniary delinquencies, and this two hundred dollars wiil assist us materially io increasing the fund. Some time ago poor Greeley collected an Irish relief fund, which he refuses to account fjr, or to refund lo the committee who are endeavoring to relieve Ireland now. , This two nundred dollars will help pay off that debt, aud so the editor of the Advertiser should transmit it to us forthwith. Greeley's other creditors, if be have any, ought to adopt the same coure; Tor if the Tribune philosopher once gets bold of their money it will go where the Irish fund and the Kansas, fund have gone, and Heaven only knows what may become of it.

Government Aid tolndlana. "Tbe Administration hap received ncticc that , the Siete authorities of Indiaua may be compelto appol to it for funds to carry on the State GorrromrTit. the late Copyerbrvl Lejh-htnre baring left them without appropriations. The answer is understood to have been given that in the present crisis any interruption or embarrassment of the dutie-t of State officers fhould be re- ' garded as a calamity, to be prevented at any ex tense or hazard." The above is contained in a special Washington dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette. It is e culiarly rich." Everyone in Indiana knows that the reason why no appropriations were made by . the late Legislature was because the Republican ; member broke up a quorum by abandoning their feats The Democratic (or "Copperhead," as ' this w riter calls ihem) members remained in their seats ready to pass Ute arpropriaticu bills and all ether necessary mea-smes. Nor do we believe it is true that the "State authorities" of Inditii have had any thought of asking the Washington Administration for funds. We doubt whether anybody but the Governor , who is only one of a number of "State authorities" has ever dreamed of appealing to Wash in cton for funds. The troth is, there is no law of Indiana warranting such a call upon Mr. Lincoln or Mr. Chase, nor is there any law of Con- . press warranting such a disposition of the national treasure. The whole matter looks to us like a deliberate attempt on the part of the Governor to ignore the existence of the financial officers of the State, and to mike Indiana a mere dependency of the central Government at Washington. The people of Indmt have been taxed sufficiently to meet all the requirements of the State Government; the money is now iu the vaults of the State Treasury at Indianapolis, and if it cannot be applied to its legitimatepurpose.it is because Gov. Morton's friends abandoned their seats and refused to discharge their sworn duties. For the State, under such circumstances, to become an humble suppliant at the feet of Secretary Chase for means to carry on the Government 13 fhamefut and Hmiliating. ' It is another step in the direction of centralisation and obliteration of State lines of bringing the people of the whole country into direct subjection to, and dependence upon, Washington a direction in which we hare, since the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln, beej rapidly traveling New Albany Ledger. ai Speech of n. Itepubllran ntmber of Congress. Col. Dive, a Republican member of Congress from New York, in a late speech before the Union Leagues at Albany the Capital of the State, said: He had seen and heard a great deal about the arrest of Vallandigham. He knew tbat pei. tieman well, occupied eatin Congress with him; and he had always known him as an open, bold and consistent opponent of the war policy of the Government. Mr. V. had always maintained in . public and in private, that the rebellion would never be crushed by lorce of arms; that if ti e Union was ever to be restored, other meaus most be resorted to. The Government had seen fit to arrest and imprison that man by the military power. And he would undertake to say that cither Mr. Vallandigham hjd beeu handled very ronghly, or great chanty had been shown to men in our State He had seen a call to which prominent names were appended, calling for a Peace Convection in New York, and enunciating doctrines as repulsive as any ever advocated by Mr. Vallandigham. And that was all he bad to say then in reference to that gentleman. "But one word more with reference to the system of arbitrary arrests. Tbe United States Government was not at sea on this subject. By no means. Its policy was well defined, and he bad been surprised tbat in the discussion of this subject tbat ths laws of Congrees had not been referred to. I a the act authorising the President to suspend tbe-writ of habeas corpus ia districts where he might deem that the public interest required it, he was to give notice to tbe Judge of the district of the fact, and the Judge was to hand over to the Grand Jury the nam of 11 persons arrested for political offenses, and if they were not indicted they w ere to be discharged. So with tbe conscription act passed by Congress and approved by the President. If s man shall re siat its execution, he Ss to be handed over by the Provost Marshal to the civil authorities, to be dealt with according to law. "He was opposed to the abridgment of discussion. He maintained the right of the people to discuss and criticise the action of the Govern men t, whether in peace or io war. to tbe fallest exter.tf In the army wliws w ujJ been sine ut Jn'y the policy of the Government and the merits or demerits of General were fully canvassed. True, they had a leader, and his orders were obeyed, whether they thought them right or wrong. But the right lo criticise and discuss was exercised, nevertheless.' The Sentence of Vallandlghain-A Doable Rlunder. It is stated that the sentence of impsisonment passed upon Mr. Vallandigham has, been commuted bv the President into transportation beyond the Federal lines. This, if correct, is to be taken ns a sort of concession to public sentiment; bnt we do not see how it mends the caee of the Administration. The arrest and trial by courtr martial of this gentleman waa a grievous error: but the modification of it in this form is a tili greater one. Tbe grounds in wbioh his sentence met with such gene:! condemnation were, not lhat he did not deserve it, but thai it. violated a great constitutional principle. If his utterances were treasonable he was responsible fr them to Ihe regularly constituted tribunals of tbe country, to which, m civilian, be was alone responsible. By modifying instead of setting aside the sentence passed upon him by (he court martial before which he whs arbitrarily dragged, tbe Oovernment has onlr aggravated its fault. ' If it has a right to eommuta a punishment it bad ft right to inflict it, which is tbe point in dis pute.- The great majority of those who have made their remonstrances heard against such arbitrary assumptions care nothing lor Vallaodigham; but they do care for the great constitutional principles involved in his case. TLey had looked for their prompt recognition by the Administration in its disavowal of the acts of General Bumside. Instead of tbat they find the tyrannical . privileges assumed by bim reaffirmed by a variation of the sentence which leaves its principle untouched, and which violates just a glaringly the constitutional rights ef tbe citizen. This, we repeat, is an aggravation instead of a palliation of the blunder already committed, and will tend to multiply tbe difficulties by whica' the Administration is already beset. N. Y. Herald. Joseph Story t,. i. em Pear ftvnd War " War, tn Irs best estate, never fails to Impose upon the people the most burdeT,wme taxes and personal sufferings. It is always injurious to, and sometimes subversive of. the great commercial, manufacturing and agricultural Interests. Nay,' it always involves the prospaity, and uot unfrequently the existence, of a nation. It is sometimes fatal to public liberty itself, by introducing a spirit of psiliury glory, which is ready to follow whenever a successful commander rill lead, and in a Republic, whose institutions are essentially founded on the basis of peace, there is infinite danger that war will fiad it both imbecile in defense, aud eager for contest Indeed the history of Republics has but too fatally proved that they are too ambilloue of military fame and conquest, sad too easily dsroted to the views of demagogues, who flatter their pride and betray their interests.
