PLYMOUTH, INDIANA, THURSDAY,
R CLSTAIILISII.M LXT OF CIVIL, Address to the People of tlic Mate.
We address you as citizens loyal to the-of the laws is subdued. Thce laws, howgovernment of the United State, and as j eve", necessarily and ;.-: a einiset'juer.'je. re-
such having duties to perform to your oiaie, your couuiry, aim rcouuncuu iumi- . J . J . . t . , IUUUU? JLUbrC iUClllUllUU 1V your country is engaged iu a terrible aud devastating war, and your State without a regularly organized civil governniei.t. he obligations resting upon you to perform these duties are paramount, and require from you, in seme particulars, an energetic immediate action. The want of civil government in our State can, by proper efforts on your part, soon be supplied under laws and constitution formed and adopted by yourselves, in a time of profound peace. It i3 made your luty, as well as your right, to meet at the usual places and cast your votes for State and parish officers, members of Congress, and of the State Legislature. Hitherto in our history the direction of these elections has been had by yoxir cho-
t.-n agents, the executive officers of ties inde,K amon ;tlier ,uc,tions. the . II..! -- '11
State Government. Now all these are found absent from their posts, and there are no others in their places who have isoirrl thf riictntiinrv r.rrler iir ni'ide the! .-v- - j , usual preparation for thc coming election. Thc day, ae fixed by our laws, is Monday, the 2d day of November next, lO'J; but because of this there is and can be no rea son why you should be prevented from thc full exercise of your political rights and lutics. Heretofore, in a thjuar.d instan ces, the people have mt :tk. exercised the right ofsuffrageatthe appointed time with out any other formal call than that pro claimed by the law itself; and in hun Ired cases of contested elections the votes thus cast have been decided to uive been legally cast, and thepersons vtcd for have been decreed to have been legally elected. There is, then. nothing to prevent your meeting on the day fixed by law, and selectingyour agents to carry on thc affairs of government in ur own States. Thc military will not inerfcre with you in the quiet exercise of your civil rights and duties, and we think hat wc can assure you that your action in this respect will meet thc approval of thc national government. Even now, the day of election in every rebellious State has pissel with the exception of Louis'a'ia, and should you suffer that to pass, the whole ou'Ury will be iua state of anarchy, without any civil government cf the people's own choosing, and subject to the danger of being thrown as "vacated" territory, inJo the hands of Congress, where the wish of many is that our State, with others, shall be thrown. We charge this design upon a certain faction here andatOic North, the result of whose action, in our minds, threatens to destroy republican liberty and republican institutions. We urge upon you action in this import ant crisis. It will convince the world of our wish and determination to do what in us lies to return to the management of our civil affairs; it will encourage all who are desirous to peace in other States; it will; have a tendency to cause those in arms against our common country to cease this! deadly strife; it will set an example to all ! both north and south which it would j be wholesome for them to follow; in short, ' the tendency of your course on thc approaching day of election will be for the weal or woe of our common country, ai you act the part of true citizens by voting, or by neglecting to vote fail iu your duty. On thc 2d day of November, then, goto the polls and cast your votes as usual. Your chosen Congressmen will take their asaU on the first Monday of Decembei; your Chosen Lcgislatros will meet on the third Monday of January and organize; your State officers will on thc same day be inaugurated, and thus thc whecta of civil government will once more t in motion in our State, and, we tru.t, prosperously and for thc benefit of mankind. Pail to make thislittlo effort, and your last oppor tunity for renewingcivil State government, in accordance with legal revisions will fruitlessly pass, with the probable destruction of republican institutions. Louisiana has always been at heart loya to the United States. She never seceded by a nnjority vcte. Tiie true interests of her citizens comported only with her remaining loyalty in the Union. She was juggled and forced in thc position of seen: i ig rcbeil on, but in our opinion the was and 16 still one of the United States. Now that it is practical thanks to thc gallant army and navy of the United States htr Citizens ie-ire to resume forthwith the r old status, and to replace- thc star of tlu ir State, with lustre bright as ever, o i thc glorious flag of our common country. We raise no minor p nt. Our objects aie tj rte.orc thc Union and pruscrvc thc national constitution. If the influence of ß!K?efpi"?e eyent and altered eircunjbtan.

The Army and Navy Journal states that in the examination of a candidate for thc post of Brigadier General of negro troops, the Examining oard, of which Major General Casey is the President, folpiwing: 'Have the States in rebellion rights under the constitution"'" "lv thc laws of nations how do we stand related to the i States in rebellion?" Tbc National 1 ntell'eueer hereupon concludes that the "government" intends to exclude the disciples of Sumner and Chase from the army. Thc simplicity of of this honesty on the tart of the Intelligciicer is refreshing, in view of the late assignment of Gen. liailer to a new ami impor ait c ii.mand.

On thc French coa.-t, near the mouth of the Garonne a town has been discovered hurried in the sand. A place of worship has already been excavated. Its plan shows it to have been built near the close of thc Roman Empire. It is embellished with paintings, which, with its sculptured choir and capitals, are prof lively adorned, and have attracted numerous visitors. It is believed that it is one of thc citici described by Pliny and Sarabo. Thc Emperor Nepoleon. having purchased a portion of the old Koine from the Pope, commenced excavations at a large t and upon a large scale.

Ihomas. that the negro slaves must be received mut be clothed, and fed and armed while hundreds f Emissaries were begging thro' thec mntry for alms to furnish necessaries and comforts for the soldiers, the siek and wounded and the:r families our very heads were bowed in shame. When we 15ni1 every other nation on earth taking tlie betofeare of their soldiers, at all times, and find our own soldiers unpaid, poorly clothe 1. begging for hospital supplies, and in too many eases treitel like dogs; while we are c astantly appealed to to give something for the soldier, or his suffering family, we find our pride suddenly frustrated: and well it may be. Put the last crowning act is the one connected with thc great Northwestern Pair, now i 1 full operation in Chicago.

Fair. Can it be possible that the repre-j scntative of the American people is mak - - ing merchandise of stale papers; documents that properly belong in the archives of the government ? Is it not bad enough, that when the people have granted ample power, no sufficient provision has been made for the soldiers' comfort; and that instead of making them now. such means houl i be resortel to. Think of Washington selling his farewell address at auction ! Think of Jackson selling his Proclamation at auction! Think of its being done to get money to help make soldiers comfortable, for whose comfort the people have given untold millions. Think of it being d i;e without a necessity. think of it in anyway!- What kind of m niigeinent must it be hat makes Fairs and Auctions necessary to get means to make our brave Soldiers comfortable? Think what kind of a mind it must be that can conceive of a propriety or necessity of making auction goods of the President's proclamation in the manic of charity ? At the Illinois Democratic State Convention a call was made for money to aid th soldiers. Fifty thous'in f tt'tU'trs were handed in at the moment, without fuss or expense. The President of the Sanitary Commission gets .?.",0t0 a year; many of the lady director get ??1Ml per month. The expenses of the Fair are at least S.Yd.tnMi. That sum net will not be realised. Over 10i:.::iH people will go there to visit it, at an expense of over SI" a head on the average, and leave from fi cents to Sli at thc Fair; Chicago will receive a quarter of a million dollars from visitors. One quarter of the money thus expended, quietly paid over, as democrats gave their donations, would have made five times the sum the Fair will realise. The representative of a nation s0nds his own State papers there to be e.hibited like the Siime-e Twins, or any other monstrosity, and then has them put up at auction, to be sold like the remains of a broken down circus company. Thr is enough, but it is done in thc name of fhnr'ty. for those whose comfort it was his bounden duty to tee provided for by law, and not ch irity.
