THE PLYMOUTH DEMOCRAT.

PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY T. fc P. .HcDOXAIiD. PIATT McDONALD, :::::::: Editor. PLYMOUTH, INDIANA: Thursday, October 10th, 1SG1. "AX ARREST." Under the above heading the LaPorte Union, of the 2nd inst., gives an account of the arrest of Thompson, in which it says: 'He (Thompson) ha3 been in the habit of hurrahing for Jetf. Davis, and denouncing the people of the North, until the citizens could stand it no longer. The boys in C.imp Jackson were notified of the fact, and Cap!. Jenkins concluded he would bring Thompson to LnPorte." This is another evidence that tho instii gators of these foul proceedings are residents of litis town. It is a duty which the community owe themselves, to ferret them out. Tho soldiers were but the instruments of more dastardly cowards, who worked upon their passions and prejudices to subserve their own base ends. The article in tho Union does Thompson injustice in some particulars, one of which h the following: Upon arriving in Plymouth tho Captain opened a recruiting office with the expectation that Thompson would be around it to abuse the soldiers and discourage men from enlisting. He was not mistaken. Thompson soon came to the Captain's office with a ciowd and commenced abuinr the soldiers." There was no recruiting office opened Thompson did not come to the Captain's office with a crowd did not abuse the soldiers or anybody else ; but was standing on the side-walk, talking in a friendly manner, to a gentleman on the opposite side of the street. He gave no cause for arrest more than any citizen of the town. OUR COMriJMEXTS TO JI. II. WEIR, OF LAI'ORTE. We have been intormed that M. II. Weik, a Black-Republican, negro-loving, gaseous limb of tho law, at LaPorte, has expressed a desire to cut out our heart and other internal organs necessary to the well being of our physical existence. The particular act which has caused such an outburst of patriotic fury and holy- desire to wreak summary vengeance uuv r..a 1,., iliotitjlit of incurring Iiis much-to-be feared displeasure, we luve not heard specified. It is reasonable to suppose that he ig displeased with the general couise wo have taken as an editor, and thinks to drown us in the quigrnire of filth and beaatiality in which lie lives, moves, and has his bei:. We have only to Bar that his braadocia will only have the effect to prove him, in the estimation of those who do not already know him, to be as false and Cowardly as all such aro who bray so much and perform so little. When he undertakes it, we promise to make tho operation as in- j terestiiigas possible, that he may find no 1 fault with us on that score. This man Weir, wherever he is known, is acknowledged to be the lowest, filthiest, and most detes'able liar and pup, in La Porte County, and, we hope, for the credit of Indiana, in the State. No man can follow him in the cess-pool of infamy where he thrives. In his meanness he is unapproachable. Thero is such a con. tamiuating atmosphere surrounding him that decent men and well-bred dogs shun him. When men in his county have a 'case which no decent lawyer, who has any regard for his reputation or the better promptings of his nature, will accept, he gets Wtm; and if consummate meanness can have any iniluenco on the case, he generally wins. He talks about traitors, yet did ho not betray his party for a quarter-section of Jessi D. Bright's Swamp Lanl? We understand that ha would like to head a 6quad and come down to Plym outh, and take Borao Democrats. We advise him to come, by all means. The Vys will be glad to see him. Ho can bo assured that ha will have no difficulty in finding them. They will bo "in" when he calls on them. fiu: JIO.Vr-BI.A I It Ml UA lilt I.E. The Fkkmoxt-Blair squabble is engrossing tht attention of tho Administration and greater portion of the reading public of the Northern States. This personal quarrel should bo stopped by the removal of both of them, if no other way. Fbemoxt is a good path-finder, but has so far given no evidence of superior military abilities. In fact, his whole career, so far, has been a failure, resulting in tho death ol the bravo Lyos, and tho unconditional surrender of Mituoan and his command. Blaiu is no military man, and only obtained his appointment by reason of his political influence. Such men as thewa command our armies, and monopolize public attention, while such as Capt. Tottkn, who has served his country faithfully for over a quarter of a century who saved our little army at Springfield and Wilson' Creek, fctill occupy inferior poeitions. Can public sentiment be unanimous n favor of each a method of conducting the war?

- 1 tt)j I Iktl l Ii U lUUIVlig UVUIC3blU JVVIIVJ VI Since the unlawful and riotous arrest of Mr. Lincoln's abolition advisers; but thej Thompson last week, t?e have heard more ; arQ for the preservation of the Union ensaid about "secessionists" than ever before, j ilr& ad indivisible, by force or without. Such men as A. L. Wheeler, C. R. Reeve s may be necessary, and in favor of furand others of our most prominent business j nishing all the men and money necessary men, who have been here longest, and I lo do it, and of hanging traitors, when

have the most interest in the county, and the most to lose by wai and secession, and the most lo gain by the suppression of rebellion and a return to peace, are called secessionist, traitors, nnd other names of that class. "Secessionists" indeed! The man who knows any of them, and makes the assertion, is a faul-mouthed liar, and unworthy the respect of all who make any pietensions lo decency. With all of them we have talked, and heard them talk, and nothing that could be construed into secession sentiments, was ever uttered by either of them in our hearing, or to our knowledge; while on the contrary, we have heard them express the soundest Union ßentiments, and the strongest attachment to the government, and unqual ified condemnation of secession. Men who charge them with the name are either knaves or fools. At a public meeting held here last May, C. II. Reeve drafted and introduced some resolutions, from which we select 6ome of the language. He urged their adoption, in a speech of some length; they were unanimously adopted, and nearly all the leading Republicans and Democrats in town voted for them. Yet these same men Republicans now call him a secessionist, and there has been no change in his sentiments wo know, for we have heard him speak publicly twice since, and he entertains the same sentiments. But for the resolutions: "liesolved. That, under the present constitution of the United States, no Slate has a right to secede Jrem the Confederacy, or absolve itself from iti allegiance to the General Government without the consent of at least a majority of the States; and that the Government possesses the undoubted light to enforce obedience to its laws within any such State, regardless of all or any pretended right ot secession. "Resolved, That while we der.y the right of the Southern States to secede, we recognize the fact they have been taught to believe that it was and is the intention of a majority of the people of the North to refuse to recognize t'ieir equality in the Union, and to violate the recognized principle of State's Rights; and that, such being tho case, it has been and is the duty of every Northern State to remove all well grounded reasons for such belief, and to render strict obedience to the Federal laws. "liesolved. That we hail Rhode Island as a State puiely patriotic, and one who has put herself right upon the record; therefore, she comes with clean hands to th aid of the general Government; and we will go with her, heart and soul, in her efforts to preserve the nation and protect it from aggression." Rhode Island repealed her Personal Liberty laws beforo her troops started for the war. This is enough; yet with this public record made early in the war, such men are called secessionists and traitors; and studied efforts made to create ilia impression at home and abroad. If opposition to the appointmsnt of lawyers and doctors and other civilians to the highest commands in the Army, without military skill, experience, or knowledge, while old army officers, with all these requisites, are kept subordinate and left unpronioted; If opposition to the Sub-Treasury js tern, and tho resort to pet banks and a shinplaster currency by the Government; If opposition to the repeal of the revenuo tariff, and tho adoption of one that de slroys the revenue while we borrow money and pay big interest and bigger taxes; If opposition to suppression of the press and the right of speech; If opposition to the usurpation of power while the Constitution grants as largo powers as it dues; If opposition to emancipation of slaves, unless by act of confiscation through the courts, the same as other property; If opposition to the consolidation of the States, and the "wiping out of Stale lines and State governments," as advocated by Mr. Camerou in his Washington speech, last summer; If opposition to tho policy refusing an exchange of prisoners, whilo we receive flag8of truco, and keep as prisoners rebels taken in arm, and leavo our brave men to rot and die in Southern prisons; Ix opposition to disbanding such bodies of men as are compelled to suirtnder to the rebels, and leaving them far from home without means of return or aid, and depriving them of pay, when they perilled their lives and lost their liberty on the promise of a soldier's wages; If opposition to tho West's furnishing nearly all the men and money to do the the fighting, while the East is doubly responsible for the war If, wo say, opposition to these things make a man a secessiont, then may they, with hundreds of thousands of others, plead ouU'TY. And, our wise Republicans about town say that such opinions are treason, and those who entertain them should be hung. We think such opposition is sound doctrine, and, for the good of the people, hope it will be successful; for, if tho things opposed above are carried out, it will not only aid bill in the end make rebellion successful, in our opinion. Theae men have no sympathy with the movement in the South no more have

convicted by law, wherever they are

whether in the offices of the New York or Chicago urwune; or others of their kidney, or the Capitol at Washington, or the camps of the secessionists at the South. They are ready to aid the President in the execution of the law, but not in violating it; and they pay taxe9 for and give labor and daily bread to many who aro for disunion at heart, and are traducing them as sympathizers with the South. We hope to hear no more of these charges, for they are vile lies, p ud their authors are men who know better. The idea that such men as those we have named, whose business is here, property here, families here, friends here all they have, social, legal and pecuniary, to be blessed by good laws and peace, or be destroyed and their liberties and lives lost with infamy by encouraging war, being in fax'or of rebellion and civil war, and the destruction of the Union and the Government, is so preposterous and monstrous that it would seem as though the veriest fool or fanatic living must give it the lie; but 6ome men are so corrupt that they will assert what they know to be false iox the pure love of misrepresentation and the gratification of abusing some body without cause. We have said more than we intended when wo began; but thero has been so much of the kind of talk we are condemn ing that we wish to satisfy erery one of our readers that it is unworthy of any sane man to believe such stuff, and the duty of every good man to give the lie to it wherever he hears it, and to despise tho authors of such charges as peace breakers, riot makers, and corrupt ulcers on the body social. There are a good many blatant demagogues, both Democrat and Republican, whose brawling is taken for the expression of zealous patriotism. If they can get a commission with a good salary, their leal induces them to accept it; otherwise, they remain at home. They aro held up as standards to judge other men by; and if the latter fail to come up to it, they are denounced as traitors. The man who "goes to the war" because he gets 8118 per month as a Captain, is not as much of a patriot a9 ho who willingly pays 118 taxes. But the man who volunteers because his country needs his services, and takes such fare as she can best give hiai, is worthy the plaudits of all men, and may well be held up as a standard of patriotism. We have no patience with these patriots whoso z;al goes only to their pockets. The true patriot asks, "Where can I be most useful?" The other class only thinks, "Where can I make the most and be the safest from harm?" From Washington. Special Dispatch to the ChicagoTimcs. Washington, Oct. 8. The Commissioner of Indian aflairs has returned from his official visit to the Indian tribes in Kansas and Nebraska. He conversed with tho returned Kansas offi cers who took part in the battle of Springfield, and who informed him that no saparately organized Indian forces were with the lebels on that occasion, but that comparatively few ofthe half-breeds only were in the ranks of the enemy Tho efforts of the rebels to ai ray tho Indians against tho United States, so far as the Commissioner could learn, wa3 attended only with partial success. The Indians, as a class, are disposed to bo friendly, but those who are in hostility have been coerced into this course by the rebels. No doubt is entertained that it would require no persuasion to raise a large Indian force in Kansas and Nebraska to operate against those who may bo brought into tho field by tho rebels. New York, Oct. 8. The Tribune's ipecial, Washii gton, 7th, savs: "The cargo of the Bermuda consisted of eighteen rifled cannon, 52-poundera and 42-pounders, and two IGC-lb. canister guns, with all tho necessary shot and shell, ready for immediate use; also, 0,500 Enfield rifles, between 200,000 and 300,000 cartridges for tho same, G,000 pairs of army shoes, 20,000 blankets, I CO bbls of gunpowder, a largo quantity of morphine, quinine, and other medical stores, and very many more articles of more than money value to the rebel aTmy. Her cargo cost 1,000.000 cash. Jler armament was 12-pounder rifled guns, one pn each side. Sho is now fitting out for active service, and is to bo employed in cruising for returning California Bteamers. Commodore Tatnall will command her. "My informant states positively tl at the Mate of tho Bermuda informed him that more iron clad 6team frigates are expected from England on tho southern coast by the Ifith of October. The Bermuda is owned in South Carolina. Whilo she was loading, and at tho timo she cleared, she was supposed in Liverpool to bo a supply-ship for the Royal Navy, although Downing Street knew much bettor. She cleared for a West India port.

"The main body of the rebels is at Fairfax Court House, whence a broad belt of camps, almost unbroken, is seen from

our balloon, stretching noithward toward Leesburg, where there are nearly 30,000 men ; on the lower Potomac about 1 1,000; back of Evansport, or near Manassas, the are comparatively few troops. All the information received at headquarters shows that the enemy is prodigiously 6trong, numbering nearly 200,000 men, and that no offensive movement is at presant intended. Johnston and Smith favor an active policy, but Beauregard insists on standing on the defensive. "Brig. Gen. W. K. Strong was this day assigned to duty on the stiff of Maj. Gen. Fremont, and ordered to report to him in person. Ho will bo Chief of Staff. "The Prosident has restored Col. De Ahna to tho command of the Indiana Legion, from which he was dismissed by a court martial in St. Louis, and has restored him to his pay as well as his rank. "None of Gen. Fremont's commissions are reorganized by the President, and they are therefore rendered worthless. Mr. Gurley, M. C, who has been active in organizing western regiments, was in some embarrassment at Washington on learning this, but the President has indorsed or promises to indorse his acts." The Herald's special, Washington, 7th, savs: "The Commissioner of Indians Affairs returned to the city this morning after a brief visit to the Indian country. He visited several of the tribes north of the Osage, and held many councils with them. He found them all loyal, evincing a strong attachment to the Federal Government. It appears that only three tribes, which are inaccessible and beyond reach of the Government, are disloyal. He is of the opin ion that troops ought to bo dispatched immediately to the Indian country to reclaim them. Wasiiincton, Oct. 8. Gen. Wool was certainly offered the command in Missouri, but he demanded j more troops than the Government was able to send with him, and asked other conditions which tho administration thought not proper to grant The administration is satisfied that the Union cause in Missouri can never be successful whilo Fremont remains in command there, and you may rely upon it that he will be recalled just as soon as the right man to succeed him can bo found. Generals Banks, Meigs, Blecker, liarmy. McDowell and others ars spoken of, and their merits discussed with much freedom. The President is unwilling to remove Fremont, but scores of prominent politicians, and other gentlemen familiar with the state of things in Missouri, urge upon him the positive necessity of immediate removal. They declare that Missouri oterwiso will be lost to tin Union. Attorney General Bates and Postmaster General Blair say, without hesitation, that the further retention of Fremont will be a public crime. A Cabinet meeting on Fremont's case was held to day, without concluding the business. Fifty-seven prisoners, wounded at Bull Run, just arrived at Baltimore from Richmond, confirm the statements made by persons formerly arrived Irom there, that the Confederates have two hundred and fifty thousand troops at Manassas, besides those recently sent to Kentucky. Tho Confederates have erected several powerful batteries on James River. Jeff Davis health, though somewhat improved, is far from good. As Campbell's battery was returning from the review to-day, some shells exploded in the box of a gun-carriage on which thiee cannoneers wero seated, badly injuring tl.em. Secretary Cameron left this morning for Pittsburgh to thorougly inspect the cannon foundry there, with a view to promote an increased supply. According to a telegram from Gen, Rosecrans, ho will be able to sustain himself against the combined forces of Floyd and Lee. The administration will accord him and Gen. Fremont all the support their positions require. Eight batteries and C.400 cavalry were reviewed to day. A rebel mail carrier was arrested to day in one of tho Potomac counties. A large number of letters were seized. Three of our surgeons, released prisoners from Richmond, have arrived here. Government, which has had the management of the Washingion Branch ot tho Baltimore and Ohio Rnilroad, has restored it to tho control of the company. On approaching Racine, Wisconsin, on his sporting lour, while surrounded by his sportsman's traps, Mr. Russell was welcomed by an old farmer of tho vicinity with, "We aro glad to see you, Mr. Russell. Hope you will find lots of game. You can have all the game you want, but you must r.ot make gamo of tho American eagle out here." This address elicited the enthusiastic applauso of the bystanders. .

Indiana military Matter. Indiana will soon have in service three regiments of cavalry. Enfield rifles are expected at the Arsenal from this time forward at the late of one thousand per week. Major General Love left the city yesterday for Evansville, where, it seems his personal presence is urgently demauded. Heavy shipments of ammunition have been made during tho past week to the border counties on the Ohio. Sturm's battry left yesterday for Evansville, fully equipped. Col. Miller's regiment, from LaPorte, has arrived in this city and is being equipped preparatory to being dispatched to Kentucky. Ammunition for the regiments at Evansville, under the command of Col. Cruft and Col. Jones, was shipped from the Arsenal yesterday ; also a quantity of arms for the Home Guard. A large number of horses andwagson for Col. Willich's regiment, now in the interior of Kentucky, were shipped yesterday. The Sixth Indiana is the advance guard of Gen. Sherman's army. It is farther

south and nearer the enemy than any oth er regiment, and not more than twentyfive miles from the rebel army. The Sentinel, Oct. 5th, says: George K. Stcelo has been appointed Colonel of tho Forty-third Regiment Indi ana Volunteers, now rendezvousing a Terre Haute. The Forty-fourth Regiment has taken possession of Camp Allen, at Ft. Wayne Thero are now parts of six companies in the camp. There are now daily issued at Camp Morton thirteen huudred and seventy-five rations a soldier for each ration. llutscll on Jefferson Davis. In his laft letter to the London Times Dr. Russell, says of tbo reported illness of Jeff. Davis: "Mr. Davis is 6aid to be suffering from fever at Richmond. I would like to know any one who is not suflfring from fever in Washington Nature has made this a lovely country, but she has also established a fine fever system, and it can not be er.joyed without quinine. When last I saw Mr. Davis, he was recovering fiom an attack of tic douloureux, to which ho is subject, and its agonies have been so grea that he has lost the sight of one eye, I was assured, in consequence. He is a slight, spare man, who did not appear to ms ca pable of resisting violent disease. There are those who think tho Southern Confed eracy depends on his life alone. They mi, 'lit have been ricrht at ono time. I do O - o not think they are 60 at present; for al though Mr. Toombs, Mr. Benjamin, or any other civilian, might bo unable to take his place, the military leaders would afford ample materials for such a President as the South desires at present." reeling in Hnglaiul. The t ine of tho English papers by the late arrival is more than usually bitter The London Morning Post Palmerston's 0r"-an says : " Secession i3 now an ac complished fact." "A reign of terror has liPAn inniifriiratfd in the North." "In j fact more outrages have been perpetrated upon individual liberty in the Xorthern States than ever King Bomba attempted to commit in Naples." And tho London Economist remarks in reference to the Northern States, that "liberty is far more likely to be promoted by their defeat than their victory." If the leading public journals of England aro any index to the feelings of the Government and people there, the Confederates have all their sympathy.

Whi! cheerfully sustaining the Government as loyal citizens should, the Sentinel will vigilantly watch all encroachments upon popular rights and the true principles of constitutional liberty. The freedom of speech and the freedom of the preis are necessary to preserve and secure free institutions. When these are struck down, no matter what may be the apology therefor, from that day dates the decline of American liberty. In order to form a mor perfect union, establih justice, injure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare and secure the blowings of liberty to ourselves and posterity, the Sentinel will fearlessly scrutinize and approve or condemn, as it believes the public good requires, all measures of the State and National Adm niMratioue. It will ever keep in view the distinction between supporting the Government and the renal acts of those who represent the Government And w appeal for the support of all who desire to maintain a pure Constitutional Government, and continue for ourselves and our posterity the glorious heritage of free institutions, won by the yalor and framed by the wisdom and integrity of the men who pledged their Iires, tlteir fortune and their sacred honors for liberty and independence. For the purpose of extending the circulation of the Daily and Weekly Indiana State Sentinel, it proprietors solicit every Democrat, every friecd of sound and conservative National principles to aid them in that object.
