We'll give the heavenly boat a fi.-lit. A triune group we three ahall be, Yea three in one, and one in three. Ths Convention ef the 'War Demo cracy" The convanlios of the ao called "War D-mocrac)" came off yeaterday. Every effort and aid bad been volunteered by the Republican leaders to make It imposing in character and numbers. The raiiroada roa half fare traiua; large colt red posters an. sousciag that Cass, sod Dickinson, and Joko Vso Bureu, a n others would be präsent ob ths ocesaioB wars circulated over the State, aad ike Republican press gave notoriety to the convention sod urged ths attendance of all "loyal" men. hut with all kese applinces tbe convention may bs ra se e stale. Those who cam be pot eat of eight aa speedily aa possible. Look over tbe assess of those who ere represented to have participated is the proceedings of the convention, even if they wers prsssnt, and with two or three exception they, have not eo-operatee with the Democracy for years, but havs bsea in full communion and aympathy with the Repablicaa party. The oaly advertised sneaker present was Major General John A MeClernand, of Illinois, and he owes ell the poblie honors he bss received to tbe very party which, ingrats like, bs now denounces. The atreete of Indianapolis were not biricaded yesterday with large and small gont; cavalry aad infantry sad were not posted within stone' thrown of 'be pleee f meet ing. snd even ths liquor selooae were not closed "by authority." The contrast lo the regards betwesa tbe meeting yee'erdsy snd ths Democratic Maes Contention of the SOtb of May last was vary noticeable. Free speech waa permitted to the "War Democrat" because it waa knows to be a Republican adjunct, a penny whfatle affair to play each tunes, and feeble notes they were, as might be set by Republican sstruetors. We do sot disparage the character or eise cf tbe convention on partisan grouod. There were two or three thouesnd manger in the city, but they were moetly Republican. There were s few Democrats preesat attracted by curiosity, or e!e to tske advantage ef the low railroad fare to visit tbe city for business purpose. And mis' of tbe Republicans we conversed with gav' tbe latter excuse aa the reeeon for tbeir preeence bore, although largo numbers were for the lime being firm "War Democrats." The meeting will have no political aignificance whatever. The men who engineered the affair are end have been for yeara hostile to tbe Democratic party. The Democracy have bad nothing to eipect from them but bitter opposition, end they have hsd it in every eey since tbe Presidential election of I860. We regerd ths convention an s mere piece of political huckstering to aecure for the gers of the affair prominence ead thua force political preferment feeen the Repubbees orgaebmtiee. Tbet ia about all inertia la thia movement of tbs "War Democracy." Ae s party organisatioo it bss no aameviesl atrength.

General Gass has been a War Democrat," but tie feela there is nd bepe for the preservation ef the Government, sod he means the ernmeat and institution founded by the 'athers f the republic, but is (he return of the old Democratic party to powsr, and in that revolution of public eentiment, which sure to come it the old Government i saved the so-called "War Democracy" will be even mure insignificant than ever. But a few broken dowo politician assume to be tke -War Democracy" of Indiana, They don't go to war, bowevsr. The be' way for the "War Democracy " to illustrate the laceiity of their professiooa will be to fill up the army by ahouldeting the musket asd follow tbe gallant Oeuefal Kimball to the field. Bui they are Bot such "War Democrats" they du not mean that kind of "War Dsmocracy." They prefer to snuff the battle from afar, Tbey are only political "War Democrat." and if tbey should happen lo be drafted tbey will all find $300 to purchaae tbe privilege of tyiug st boms, if they can't get out of the draft in any other way. The rebellion would never bs suppressed if ths couairy bad to rely upon such "Wir Democracy'' its battle A Ceai ron Rhslbatim Tbe follow ing receipt for tbe cure of rheumatism wee pobliehed some lime ego ia the Country Gentleman: Bathe tbe part affected with water is which potatoes have besn boiled, ss hot aa can bs boms just before going to bed; by tbe next morning the psin will bs much relieved, if not removsd. One application of tins simple remedy has cured the most obstinate rheumatic pains. Tbe annexed letter to that periodicsl appeared in a recent iesae testify ing to ibe utility of the potato wsisr: Messbs. Eoitobs: I take the opportunity of returning my sincere thank to yoa in behalf of my ' bslUr half" for s very simple receipt, which consisted in tbe use el potato water for rheumatism. My wits suffered over four ysare with rheumatism is her shoulders, especially after doing tbe family washing, until I discovered ibis simpls but moat valuable remedy. Tbe first night she used tbe potato water rather lukewarm, end aasured me ot its benefits next morning, and that she bardly fell any sein io lbs shoulders, which encouraged ua, end we renewed ibe application tbe following night before abeJ retired, using the potato water as hot as ahe could bear it, and rubbing her shoulders aai hard as ehe coo hi; tbe effect waa that ahej never, einee tbe lest spplieation, now about fourteen monihe, has bad the slightest pain of rheumatism is the shoulders or say other part of her body. Many person ia thi country, eapecially minora, are afflicted with that malady, and I have requeued maay to try the remedy, but they regard the value of "potato water" ia the eame light as a great maay do tbe ''brandy and salt core, via: drink the brandy and rob the afflicted part with ths bottle. Then again, botn these remedies ere eo cheap that it ia thought they cannot be good. OCrFrom Camdea to Bleich ley, a diatanee ot forty miles, I traveled along with Mrs. jGreavee.

A Oood Joko on the Military. A good joke, remarks the Louisville Demoera, if one mold regard say trifling with tbe lew sf the Stale ae a joke, happened at Clarke's river precinct, is McCrackeo county. The Judges had a Mi lit arv order

requiring all candidates to tsks oath. Ths books were opened, but nobody had taken ths o-th except the casdldatss forMagiatrato od Consta bis, and the Judges would put nobody else's name on ths book. Ths of. ticer et lbs head of lbs squad required Bremlette dt Co. to bs placed on tha book, but they hud not taken tha oath that the Judges knew ol. They showed tbs order, and resululely refused to violate it. Tbey demanded a rigid conpllaaee with tbs order. A copy of ths Louiaville Journal was produced to settle the matter; but ths Jndges would oot be conviacsd. The military put off to Pdecah to get the matter explained : bat lbs Judge closed the polls, there being nobody to vote, before the military got back and the voter wars stl dispersed. The clerk took ths poll books to tbs officer in command, who refused to receive them, ssying be had ao control of them Tbs clerk aid it wis a military election, and supposed the officer wa the man to have the poll, books. Tbe officer ordered him to take it to the dark's office. Tbs cierk said he ksew that in as election under lbs lawa of tha 8 late, he should lake it to the clerk's office, bat under military laws, he could only take it there oder orders.
