M.C. lltimLUcan, June Gth. ' ' J "II they will lay down their arms and come now to the nation lor permission to separate, we i hall again s.y Yi:s." Indiana Juntnal tjlrp.) j The following article, from a contributor to the Ft. Wavne Sentinel, contains so much good sense, and sound logic, that we copy it entire, although a portion of it is partially local. Mr. Smitu, referred to, ia generally known in this part of the State, as "Pop-gun Smith." The propriety of his cognomen was probably suggested by tho fact that his gasconading bears the same relation to a common sense speech, that a pop-gun does to a rilledcannon: CHARGE3 OF TREASON. It 13 a severe tost to the patiense and good temper of many men, coascious of earnest love- of their country and fidelity t its institutions, to be compelled to sub mit to tho unbridled license of word and action, 10 which the existing civil war has I . .1 given ristf among soma of its advocates in j the North as well as in the South. The spirit of violence and intolerance 6eems to be loosened for a season , and to run riot at will. Undsr the pretence of putting down treason, mobs suppressing freo j frpeech and free press, arbitrary arrests! and imprisonments, proclamations of martial law and all its despotic incidents, are matters of frequent occurrence, even within lhe loval States. Political dcrao-nties with no attachment to principle but the principle of self-interest, with no consistency of political conduct, except the persistent consistency of keeping themselves before the public in every tum of public atfairg, and setting their sails lo catch tho wind of popular favor whichever way it blows, seem to be taking on themselves, almost solely, the duty of preserving tho Union, by fanning to resistless fury tho Ihmes of civil war. On Saturday night last, I gat under the harangue of Mr. V. S.Smith, at Colerick's Hall, whilo he unfurled the ßtar-spangled banner, and 9et free the American Kagle from the dizzy heights of a war speech fuliof sound and fury. According to the testimony of Mr. Case, Mr. Smith's compatriot and co-partner in the war-making business, the war has developed Mr. Smith from the mall calibre of a pop-gun to the ' large dimensions and destructive powers ot a ritled cannon; and judging by appearances, Mr.S. was evidently under tho impression, while making his speech, that he Was working a jjun of the largest calibre and longest rang. Mr. Smith has a perfect right to speak to bis fellow-citizens his talent lies in that lini, and ho Jovea to cxerciso it as j rouch as ft practiced race horse rejoices to run a race; and he ha shifted hi political grounds and associates fo often, that he can talk on all sides with equal ability and earnestness but Mr. Smith has no rh'ht o ta astail with violent abuso men in his own audience and community, for opinions o,uito aj honestly, and perhaps as intelligently, entertained as any he professes, and whose patriotism will bear the test in ay sphere of action with his own. When Mr. Smith goes beyond his province ai a to an hiving the ear of tho public, ho exposes himself to the just censure of all truthdoving and conservative men; but I ou!d not havo ben tempted to animadvert upon his violence, except for lhe dou!ed relish with which it seemed L bo f fceived by a portion of his udlenco I uj.inj inen Iii VliUll vuinjr, nl thousands of men in the Democratic ?artJ in Indiana, towhioh Mr. Smith has

professed to belong, as well as in other par

lies anu in otncr estates 01 me union, who, while admitting the wickedness and folly of tho leaders of secession, believo that a wiso and firm conciliatory policy in tho Federal administration and in Congress, would haro averted the present civil war, and preserved tho Union in its integrity; who believe that tho war if carried on to its natural results, with the virulence indicated by both contending sections, will result in the destruction of tho Federal Uuion, and in radical changes for the worse in the American system of free republican government, besides entailing upon the people for many years pecuniary burdens grievous to be borne; who believe that passion and party spirit are alike hostile to tho wiso conduct of public affairs in the present great crisis and peril of tho nation; men who also, while ihey will give up their lives and fortunes to defend tho Union and Constitution, fo long as they aro worth defending, nevertheless believe that a poaceablo separation of Federal States, become radically jealous and hostile to each other, is better than a formal Union when maintained only by the terror of an immense military power, corrupting the morals, subverting tho liberties, and eating out the hard earned substance of the people. There are many men, I say, a3 little sympathizing with secession or secessionists us Mr. bmilh or his com pat- ; lg j ( j f fili .he hearl8 of lhe Northern people to the war heat, and probt.i. , ... m r i .t .1 1 . ably as weil informed ag they in tho hiitory and institutions of their country, who . 11111 ihonestly hold the belief! have stated. These men have a right to their opinions, and to their freo expression, and it illy becomes men professing, liko Mr. Smith, a lofty zeal for the Union and Constitution, to denounce such of his fellow-citizen9, as traitors unworthy of burial in tho soil of Indiana. I beliove I know something of the history of the political creed of the Southern States in regard to Scato rights and tho 1'edral Union which has placed them in their present attitude of revolution or rebellion against its authority. That creed tho Democratic party has substantially endorsed for the last sixty years, and whether it be right or wrong, it is beyond doubt the basiä of political action with tho masses of tho Southern people. While therefore I am free to say, that 1 cannot feel that wild zeal fur war upon the Sjuth which seems to intlamo the minds of so manv Christianity professing, and at other times peacedoving citizens, 1 repel with scorn, as an insult and a falsehood, the assertion or intimation of any man. thai I love Union and Constitution less than any other man who occupies tho soil of Indiana. Whilo I may question tho wisdom of my fellow-citizens whoso voices echo so loudlyjfor war to the knife with our kindred of the South, I will not dispute their patriotism, nor shall without denial d sp'to my own. It is not the duty of any man to believe without evidence. No citizen is bound to believe or to say that his rulers and their policy are immaculate. While it is tho duty of every citizen to obey the law, it is also his right and duty tojudge of tho wisdom of the law, and by constitutional and peaceful means to effective, or its repeal when wrong. The citizen who, whether he bo in the minority or the majority, believes that tho welfare of his country are endangered by tho acts or policy of its rulers, is a coward, if not a traitor, if he fails lo do what he cau for his country's good. It is indeed a new doctrine in America that a failure to approvo tho measures of its rulers u treason to the Slate. Such a doctrine may do for an Asiatic despotism, but it has no place in the American theory of freo government. It is a new doc trine that to question the policy, or doubt the good results of a war, is to give aid and comfort to tho enemies of our country. Tried by such .1 rule of treason, the illudtriou btateunien of England, who buttled manfully for tho rights of tho revolutionary colonies, and for peace and concilia'.ion with them, even after tho war was legun and independence declared, woro traitors to tho crown and constitution of Kngland; and yet what man, outside an insane asylum, in this day, would pay that Iiurke, and tho elder I'itt, and Camden, and Fox were traitors to their countr) . Was Lord ('hatham'n ?pech on tho motion for removing tho Ilrilisdi troops from IJorton, treason? Was Lord Camden a traitor when ho declared that ho would persist to tho last in opposing the pernicious and unnatural war of Kngland upon her American colonies? Was Kdmund Ilurke's letter of April , 1777, to the sheriffs of Hrisfol, on tho affiiis of America, treason? Head it, yo violent denouncers of your fsllow-citizens who do not pympathizo in your violent rage for civil war, and let its moderation, its far seeing wisdom, its profound philosophy and lofty patriotism penetrate your mind, and teach you some distrust of your own infallibility, and .1 little charity for the opinions of

others. I commend to your atteution now, one brief extract from this masterly letter. After alluding to tho act ol parliament partially suspending the "writ of habeas corptis, Mr. Burke says: "Nor is it the worse effect of this unnatural contention that our laws aro corrupted. Whilst manners remain entire, they will correct the vices of the law, and soften at length to their own temper. But we have to lament, that in most of tho lato proceedings, wo see very few traces of that generosity, humanity and dignity of mind which formerly characterized this Nation. War suspends tho rules of moral obligation, and what is long suspended is in danger of being abrogated. Civil war strikes deepest of ail into tho manners of tho people. They vitiate their politics; they corrupt their morals; they pervert even the natural tasto and relish of equity and justice. By teaching us to regard our fellow citizens in a hostile light, ths whole body of our Nation becomes gradually less dear to ug. Tho very names of affection and kindred, which were tho bonds of charity while we agreed, become new incentives to hatred and race, when the communion of our Country is dissolv

ed. We may Hatter ourselves that we shall not Till into this misfortune. Hut we have no charter of exemption, that I know of, from tho ordinary frailties of our nature." Tho violent war spirit of tho days of Madison's administration, denounced as traitors and spmpathizers with Knglaud some of tho wisest and purest men of New Kngland, because they did not approve but opposed tho war of 1812; and tho Hartford Convention of 1C14 became with ultra democrats tho synonyme for a revolutionary and traitorous cabal; but no intelligent man, abovo the grado of a demagogue, now picsumcs to denounce George Cabot, and William Prcscott, and Harrison Gray Otis, and Nathan Dane, and Samuel Sumner Wilde, and Boger Minot Sherman, and tho other venerable men Yvho composed the Hartford Convention, as traitors to their country. They may have been wrong in their policy, but they were not traitors. Abraham Lincoln, now President of the United States, and Thomas Corwin, his embassador to Mexico, to say nolhirg of other distinguished men high in popular favor, opposed with zeal and energy tho war of 1C17 with Mexico. It was his anxious inquiry for "the particular spot" where tho first blood in the Mexican war was shed an enquiry )ased upon his desiroto falsify tho declaration of President Polk, that the war was begun by the act of Mexico that gave Mr. Lincoln his first Conjrossional disUnction. Mr. Corwin's famous anti-Mexican war speech of "bloody hands and hospitable graves" notoriety, is familiar to all. Were Lincoln and Corwin, in thus opposing the war, giving aid and comfort to their country's enemies, and therefore traitors, whoso dead bodies Illinois and Ohio should epurn from their soil? Alas for human nature, and alas for wisdom of human conduct, when the he?t?d zeal of party spirit will 60 far overstep tho bounds of reason, as to prompt men to deal in unbridled denunciation of political opponents wnen the welfare of the people demands the calm voice and clear vision of wisdom. When a people are famishing for the bread of political life, why thus jive them stones of stumbling and rocks of offenco? It is not all men who cry Union, Unioo! with noisy zeal, while they r.ro at the samo timo crying havoc! and setting on tho dogs of war that aro wiso and truo Union men. Such men may bo assured that there is a Peaco Party in tho United States that is a truo Union party. They may bo for a time outnumbered, and intimidated by tho wild passion that moves over tho faco of tho land, but they aro abiding their time; their voice will yet be hoard and heeded. It may be but a still small voice, but it will be ono that it is hoped under tho Mossing of (Jod will touch tho hearts of nil tho people, and awaken memories of tho early days of thj Federal Union, when the North and the South were not antagonistic; when we wero a nation of brothers and friends, protected by the samo Federal laws, sharera in tho same histoiic glory, and hopeful of tho same great destiny. As this peace party eher ish in their hearts, tho honor and glory of the Union, and tho whole Union, they will not sue fo peaco under tho shadow and gloom of defeat; nor will they seek to die-ta-.o 10 tho arrogant spirit of conquest to tho prostrate and powerlu&s people of subjugated States, misguided and wrong as they havo been. Their language to the men of tho South at all times is, "Men and brethren, lot us reason together;" and theso men of peaco for tho great and glorious and truly christian end of restoring tho Union knowing thai it is by the voice of friendship and not of hate, that the truo Union heart of tho South cau bo reached, if it be no. already crushed out beneath the iron heel of war- Would not

consider tho Federal Government dishonored, if it should deem not unworthy of its codsideralion, and apply to our own unnatural warfare the advico of Lord Chatham to the Biitiah Parliament, "With a dignity becomig your exalted situation make tho first advance to concord, to peace and happineps, fur that is true dignity to act with prudence and justice." UNION AND PEACE. Sep. 9th, 186 I.

SIGNIFICANT AND ENCOURAGING SIGNS. To withhold an acknowledgment where it is due is not a part of either our disposition or our principles. It is with pleasure, therefore, that we giro the fusion convention that met at Columbus on Thursday tho credit of repudiating entirely abolitionists and abolitionism. Not one of iheir nominees, from Tod to .Torrence, is tainted with tho black heresy that has played so important a part iu bringing the present disaster upon the country. Threo republicans wero nominated Stanton for Lieutenant Governor, Scott for Judge, and Cowen for Secretary of State not one of whom has any sympathy with tho radicals. Stanton, in the last Congress, took tho lead in opposing extreme measures toward tho South. Scott was ono of tho Judges of the Supremo Court who stood by Swan in sustaining the constitutionality of the fugitive slavo law, and who was threatened with Swan's fate when tho timo came round for renomination. Cowen is a well-known ttonscrvatiro republican, who, liko tho late John C. Wright, of this city, was for a comproraiso of our national dilllcuhies, .1 ...l .1 f r l .1 anu v no, inereiore, invorcu me peace! conference that met at Washington. Then there is a State Central Committee, which is eminently free of abolition radicalism. Tho State central abolition clique, inaugurated by Chr.so, and continued by Dennison, was utterly repudiated in the formation of the committee, not one of whom was recognized or appointed. Indeed, tho only member of tho committee from Columbus is J. Haddock Smith, a democrat. The members of tho committee from tho Western Kesorvo are moderate republicans, none of the radicals being allowed to be on it. We may montion in this connection that tue convention went so far as to refuse to nominate either the present Stato Treasurer, Stone, or Controller Thrall, who are both known to be of tho Chase Dennison abolition central cliquo. Tho resolutions adopted by tho convention are still more significant. Nothing like an approval of the Giddings clause of tho Chicago platform, declaring all men freo and equal, can bo found in them. Indeed, in the committee of resolutions, Mr. Hingham, a leading abolition member ot Congress, offered a resolution re-atlirming the above clause of the Declaration of Independence, and it was summarily dipposed of by laying it on the tablo. The committee reported, and tho convention affirmed, that this war was not to interfere with slavery, thereby giving assuranco to tho South that slaves within tho constitution wero to bo protected. But the fact most significant of all wis that the existence of tho convention itself was an obituary of tho death of tho republican party. It was an admission that tho republican dogmas, creed, platform and party aro falso in theory and ruinous and fatal to tho country in practice, and should, therefore, bo scouted, repudiated and ignored when tho country is in danger and need sound doctrino and 6ound practical senso to rescuo it from destruction. We call tho attention of the South to theso significant facts. They show the conservative current that has taken tho placo of tho radical and fanatical, and is now sweeping over tho North. Tho democracy aro always sound. They are, and always havo been, for tho constitution and its offspring, tho Union. They will admit of no contingency that looks to Reparation. They will in bist upon tho full observance of all rights guaranteed by tho constitution. On all theso points tho democracy could always bo depended upon. That tho republicans fchould repudiate their own party, creed and dogmas, and eland upon the democratic ground, shows tho wisdom of tho democratic policy. That tho republicans did not assume directly tho platform of tho late democratic Stato convention and adopt its nominees was a mere matter of policy. The people of the South can make allowance for tho feeling that lept tho republicans from coming out directly and unequivocally for tho democratic platform and candidates. Tho form of opposition only is preserved ; tho substanco is really democratic. Let the I Inion men of the South, therefore, tako courage, and hodo for a blighter day. John C. Walker, of I. aPorte, has received tho appointment of Colonel of the Indiana Irish regiment.

INHUMAN TREATMENT OF A VOLUNTEER'S WIFE. Wo havo been informed of an affair which occurred evening before last, that, if true, and wo have no doubt it is, must stamp ono of tho parties concerned as heastless in tho extreme. It appears that tho wife of one of our volunteers, now under Gen. Uosecrans, with her four children, was tnrned out of her house near the Ci, II. & D. lt. R. depot, for non-payment of rent, but that subsequently she succeeded in finding a room in the houso ot a man named Gnflin, on Eighth street, near Freemen, and thither she had her few articles of furniture removed. It should be observed here that an elder son of the woman had also gono to fight tho battles of his country with his father ; and as they wero the only means of support for the family the poor woman, with her children, has suffered tho extremities of hunger and want. Upon tho evening indicated, Griffin, who is employed at the depot mentioned above, returned, anil finding that his wife had rented tho room to this woman, set to work and threw her little stock of furniture ar.d cooking utensils into the street, and compelled her and her children o follow. Ni;ht was coming on, and the now wretched mother sought shelter in a filthy out-house in the neighborhood, and was preraring to spend the nig'it iu it, with her weeping children, when some humane people who accidently heard of the affair, came to her relief and gavo her comfortable shelter in their houses. This case is tho moro distressing, because tho distressed mother has been well reared, and has shrunk from assistance from those around her, or from tho authorities, among a crowd of pushing and jostling women, perhaps not so much in need as nhe. Cincinnati Gazette.

A telegraphic dispatch received it: the city last evening, states that tho 1 1 th Indiana, Col. Lew. Wallace, aro at Paducah, Kentucky. They arrived from St. Louis. Tho St. Louis Dtinocrut speaking of the 1 1 th, says : Tho accession of the famous 11th of Indiana, is a valuable boon to Missouri. They aro no strangers on "sacred soil." Their manly valor acd daring deeds on that of Virginia, made ua aware of the fact. Greasy mechanics small fisted farmers, and mudsills " as thev all are without exception, they met the cavaliers of the sunny South, those boastful gentlemen who are tho " rightful rulers of the country," and laid them low without the smallest amount of unnecessary ceremony; and scrttered them without the slightest respect to person. Theso Indiana regiments are afraid of one thing that the rebels of tho State will bo overcome and scattered, and thertbv become invisible before they can got a chance at them. Indiana has sent us a largo number of fighting men, and we are told that there are yet 6ix regiments at Indianapolis, fully equipped, and only awaiting transportation to quickly tread the soil of Missouri. Tho following Indiana regiments aro now in Missouri : The 18th, Colonel Patterson ; C2d, Col. Davis; 23d, Colonel Sanderson; '2 1th, Col. Hovey; 25th, Colonel Neatch; 11th, Col. Lew. Wallace; 2Gth, Col. Boss. Intelligence has also been received that tho 23d regiment. Colonel Sanderson, has arrived at Paducah from St. Louis New Mode of Tkansit. A London company has just made 6omo successful experiments with a tube which proves the possibilities of sending parcels by creating a vacuum. Tho tubo was laid down in Battereea fields, had several sharp cuives and steep gradients and was socket jointed 60 as to leave the interior smooth. The rails aro cast in tho bottom of tho tube, and the cars, made of sheet iron, aie about live feet in length and each runs upon four cast-iron wheels. Thero is no friction therefore and tho leak of the air does not interfere with tho speed. The first! experiment was made by loading a carriago with a ton of cement in bags. In fifty seconds it had found its way to the other end of tho tube, acjUHrterof a mile away. Next tvo tons were placed in one of the carriages eighty seconds wero occupied. Other triils in which live stock took tho pHco of cement with the same successful resdlt. - K. - Kkv. Pk. Aiams, of Boston makes tho following truthful remarks: 1 have often questioned in my own mind whether slavery has not been, and i not now, tho occasion of mote sin in the North than at tho South, and whether wo at tho North aro not more displeasing in the sight of (Jod for the things which are paid and done here, in connection with anti slavery, than at tho South, 'with all the ins and evils incident lo slave-hold intr. I am Cominir to that belief. Quartermaster I 'ope, of tho Eleventh regiment, issues daily rations to 1,UU0 men.

HORRIBLE MURDER. By a private dispatch wo learn tho particulars of a horrible murder, or series of murders committed near Bloorafield last night: The victims were a Mr. Cox, his wifo and four children. Tho circumstances, as far as learned, aro substantially the following : Mr. Cox and wife were awakened shortly after midnight by screaming in tho direction of their sod's house but a short distance from their own. Starting out to ascertain tho cause of the alarm, iu the darkness they stumbled over their 6ons body, who wa3 dreadfully mangled about tho throat, though not quito dead. Lying near they found the wifo and a little girl, threo years old, with their throats cut and both quito dead. Two other children, the oldest twelve years, both with their throats cut, wero discovered a short distance from tho first, though in theso latter there were somo symptoms of animation. Neither the father nor children can survive. Two men, strongly suspicioned of tho bloody deed, have been arrested and confined in jail. The suspected persons have hitherto borne good characters. Lafayette Courier.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. Tho late law passed by the Abolition Congress, at the extra session is tho most odious law passed 6ince tho days of old John Adams. If a man has an income of SCOO, he is taxed 3 per cent, making a tax on the income alone of 821. When the tax-gatherer calls upon him. "If he has not got tho money, his personal effects are to bo seized and sold ; and, hardest of all, if he has no means or rjj'ects, the collectors shall "arrest such person and commit him to prison, to be held in custody until tho same shall bo paid, with interest thereon at the rate of six per cent per annum from tho timo when tho eamo was payable as aforesaid, and all lees and charges of such commitment and custody." INDIANA MILITARY ITEMS. Tlio Auditor of the State yesterday authorized the payment, wo understand, out of the Treasury, of 2 10,000. Pretty extensive for only a few hours' work in one day. Four hundred volunteers arrived yesicruay over me jKMicioniaioe rawroaa irom couniL'S cast, and went into camp at Camp Morton. leslerdaytho Quartermaster General s J . i .1 . i ii r. . . -t i c ! assiStatltS were engaged 111 equipping the several artillery companies encamped in this vicinity. The rolls of the Twenty-sixth Regiment, Colonel Wheatlcy, contain tho names of 1,000 men. The remaining ten men will bo taken from twenty-lhiee men in the camp awaiting inspection and tho administering of lhe oath of service. Captain Frjbarger's and Captain Klaus' companies of artillery yesterday received marching orders, and to-day, probably, will leave for St. Louis. At the United Stales Quartermaster's wareroom, Bcberts' block, opposito tho Union depot, heavy consignments of blankets, clothing and tho liko were received yesterday. Six companies of volunteers from the northern part of tho State, intended for the regiment now in process of formation by Captain Harrison, arrived yesterday, and wero quartered at Camp Morton. Militakv Bkkvities. Seven companies; arrived yesterday over the l'eru and Indianapolis Bailroad. Among them were two companies for tho regiment of sharpshooters, commanded by Capt. Harrison of Kokomo, and Capt. Evans of Noblesville both of them lalo ot the Sixth regiment. ClIAXOE OK Ql'ARTEUM ASTER. A change was made yesterday iu the appointment of Quartermaster for the First (Jerman regiment, Kdward Miller receiving it in place of another heretofore named for tho po.ilion. The Wabash I i ties. Captain Arn, of Montezuma, a magnificent company, arrived yesterday, and took up quarters at Camp Vigo. They were accompanied by the Cornet Band, Montezuma, ono of the best bands in tho State. Terr Iante Kjrjircss. The Hkcimknt Kuli., Another company of volunteers, from Cireen count v, making the tenth, arrived in Camp Vigo last evening. This completes tho regiment. Some of the companies aie not entirely full, hut will, no doubt, be filled immediately. Tho regiment will be orcanized, we presume, eaily next week. 7rttf Haute Express, Yiwx car loads of tents, tent-poles, spades, pick, axes, haversacks, clothing, ifcc, came over tho Indianapolis and Cin' cinnati Bailroad yesterday. Most of the goods were manufactured in Cincinnati. They weie taken to tho United States Quartermaster's depot,

EFFECT OF EMANCIPATION. , The Chicaga Tribune forcibly remarks that the friends of emancipation of t!.o slaves by the Government during the wir, assume that the slaves, after emancipation, will remain iu the South, because the South needs labor. Hence thev sav, larft nurnbers of negroes will not irrupt into the Northern States to compote with the white working men already there. A moment's reflection will teach how unsound is this theory. If tho slaves are emancipated, it it will bo as an act of war, and therefore against the will ot their masters, who will not recognize their freedom, but will keep them in servitude if they can. Is not this so? If it U, the negro must ither run to tho North or lose his freedom. Theso will be his alternatives. Hence, emancipation, as an act of war, means tho ovei running of the North with Urg bands of freo negroes, who will compete-

j with white men in labor, (if they can bo induced to labor,) or who w ill fill our jnils, work-houses and almshouses, and be supported by tho public. That is so ßelfevident that we can not imagine how it can be doubted. State Sentinel Col. Dumont has established camp west of the canal, in tho neighborhood of tho Lafayette freight depot. A company from Lawrenc burgh arrived yesterday for this regiment and pitched tents. The German regiment, Col. Willich, will go into camp by themselves, probably somewhere iu the newhborhood of Cl o . Dumont's camp. Tents and ether equippage have been provided fr Col Willich. w There are now three companies from Bartholomew county in Camp Morton the third one arriving yesterday. A fourth is organizing and will be in camp in h few days. Good for the patriotic county ol Bartholomew. Tho Ovation to Governor Wright.
