Next week, and probably week after next, do Palladium wUl be issued, in consequence of our having to move from tbe rooms now occupied by us. We will give our f i tends due and timely notice wbeie we can be found thereafter. In tl.e mean time we wish to impress upon tbe minds of all indebted to us, the importance of the assistance tbey can render us by promptly paying their due if within their power AT THIS TIME, as we expect to make such improvements in both our job and newspaper departments, and will male it to their interest to continue tbeir patronage. t ..... . Oolig and Coming. Our citiiens, this week, so far, have bad tbeir share of excitement. On Tuesday night, about 8 o'clock, Col. UackIoiro' Regiment, tbe 16th, broke up tLeir camp in this city, and amidst martial music, shouts, cheers,' and singing of the soldiers, left in the cars for the east. We never taw a set of men more lejoictd at tbe prosp ct of getting into active service, tbau they were, al though very many regretted leaving their comfortable quarters and the many kind friends and acquaintances they had formed. , J. i nau oeen rumored the day previous, that the 16th bad been ordered to leave; but very few of our citizens knew exactly when, and tbey were only apprised of it generally by the shouts and cheers of tbe soldiers, as tbey moved out of tbeir quarters at "Camp Wayne." On tbeir march to the Depot, on "Fifth street, the citixens lined the walks on each side of the street and then brought up the rear, and by the time tbe Regiment arrived at the cars, from two to three thousand had assembled to bid them good-by. They all embarked cheerfully and with buoyant hopes of doing tbeir country signal service, in putting down those traitors who are trying to subvert our glorious government, and a determination of maintaining tbe honor of the Stars and Stripe over a Union that shall be more en during, because of the failure of bad men to ! 'destroy-it. , Col. llackleman, bis officers, and the soldiers, all bare the best wishes of our citiaena for their health and safety, and it is not flattering to say that a braver, and better drilled, armed and equipped set of men, never left a camp in Indiana than tho lCth. All honor to one of the very best Governors in the United States, for thus promptly fitting out, not only the 16th, but all the other yJUgimeata tbat Indiana has sent, and the 1 e prompt offer of ten more which he has just ' msde to the General Government. ftH On Thursday morning last. Col. Critten . den's Regiment, tbe 6th, passed through our city, and baited loag enough for breakfast wbich our citixens had prepared for them. Hundreds of our citizens met them at the Depot, and gave them a hearty welcome home again;" bat that welcome waa saddened by the newa that soon spread amongst the crowd, that one of the soldiers belonging to Capt. Child's company, C. had been i killed at tbe Bridge a short distance East ol i-- Richmond. - He bad imprudently stationed himself on tbe top of cars, and the . bridge struck him on the back of his head, completely mashing in tbe skull his death ? waa Instantaneous. His name, we learn r waa Joseph Scott, and be was about tl years of age, his parents reside in Washinge.toot Davieea county. Ilia Captain speaks

. very highly of him, as one of his beat and

bravest men, and strictly temperate in his ' habits, and says tbat young Scott, after a abort visit to bis parents, had determined to

re-enlist for tbe war. But. alas, bis caleut bUiona have proved futile "mas proposes - i God disposes." What a trial it must be to "." bis afflicted parents, to learn tbat just as he 'crossed tbe Ohio State line into hia own Hooeier State within two days of hia home, death claimed him. Tbs sympathies of his

JeEowsoldier. as well as our citizens, are with Lis afflicted parents. ; " I Tb soldiers generally looked healthy; bat their uniforms were the worse for tbe wear had lost all the gloss of new goods. Almost every one had with thc-m some trophy of the "double F. F. V.V guns, cartridges, shoes, coats, and secession flags. The officers, generally, looked first rate. We understand that Brigadier-General Moa

xi3, was on the cars, but did not see him. Col. Wallace's Regiment, the 12th, passed through oar city, yesterday afternoon, oo their way east. It is not necessary to describe an Indiana soldier they all look pretty much alike they are fighting stoek, and the 12th is no exception to this rule, and they, aa their brethren of the 6:b, 6th, and 10th have done, will give a good account of themselves. The Eighth Regiment, Col. Benton, passed through our city tbis (Friday) morn ing at 7 o'clock, for Indianapolis, stopping long enough to eat breakfast prepared by our citizens. They were joyously welcomed "home again" by thousands of their fellow-citizens. Their clothing looks rough and ruity, but the men look fat and hearty generally, like as if fighting agreed with them. It is supposed, after they receive their pay and visit their friends, a large majority of the men will re-enlist, for the war. - W We are in favor of supporting and sustaining the Administration of President Lincoln, not as a party administration, so far aa the prosecution of this war is concerned, (in tbe language oi a resolution recently adopted by the New Hampshire Legislatme,) "not as a sectional war, not as an anti-slavery war, nor a war of conquest and subjugation, but simply and solely a war for the maintenance of the Government, the suppression of rebellion, and tbe preservation of the magna cbarta of our liberty and national unity." After this war is over it will be time to talk about party after preserving our Government, it will be ample time to talk about bow it shall be administered as to matters of policy. George Julian on the War. Ever since Miss Ann Royal, in her Washington City "Jlunttess," spoke of Gforge Washington Julian, as looking like a Major General such "a commanding appearance and superb military figure" hd t.e in her estimation he has thought himself competent not only to criticize the military attainments of those who bare Lad little or no

military knowledge, tut to lay strategic plans gil0rt wetks ago, he was full of animal vigand mrk cut the proper course that old war-! or, and buoyant with the hope of distinworn veteran Liect. General Scott, should guishing himself on the battle-field against .; ., , j I the enemies of his country. We have no pursue, in biingin the Mar to a srecdy ter- ... . .

Just now, we desire to lay befoie our read ers, hia latest determination, ciiticism and conclusion, based upon a thorough military reconnoisanre he himself has taken of the whole ground, and, for the convenience of our readers, we have divided it into appropriate heads, so that they n ay not be too much startled at his bold plan for attacking Mathias Point and daring proposal "to cut to pieces" the traitors there assembled ! First then, in the letter to his Repullican, dated Washington City, July 6'.h, he asserts that ' ' - ' '' SOMETHING MI ST BE D0KS. "But something must be done soon, or both the army and the country will become demoralized. This protracted delay is becoming insupportable. An intense and increasing restlessness has prevailed heie during the past week." HAl.TTNO POL1CT OF UEl. SCOTT. .... "All sorts of men condemn the halting policy of Geo. Scott." SUGGESTING AN OCCASIOSAI. JOB. m "If he cannot yet make a geueral forward movement, they say George and the other 'all sorts of men," he could at least give an occasional job to the soldiers who are lying hers idle, "spoiling for a fight," and in constant danger of drunkenness and disease by reason of their stagnant life." HOW MATHIAS FOIST COCLO BB TAKE. "For example, here is Mat bins Point, only some fifty odd miles from tbis city. The river there bends in the form of a horse shoe, and in that bond oiw thoiisaud traitors have been encamped for some time. Instead of leaving them unmolested and allowing them to plant their cannon there and command the navigation of the river (as they might have done before this) we should have sent a regiment or two of soldiers there some morning, and have cut to pieces or captured those traitors, and taken permanent possession of that point ourselves.

Col. Meredith's K.siment. 3sCol.LMereditha "Regiment at Camp Mortoa is composed of tbe following companies: """ Captain Johnson, Owen county; Wilson, Delaware county; " " Williams, Delaware county; Clark, Elkhart county; " May, Madison county; 44 Liodiey, Marioqr county; f j n " Jacobs, Marios county; i 1 '

. Dudley Way au couaij; OT,JWat " Hamilton, Randolph county; Kelley, Johnson county; Most of these companies are full t cverflowinsc. When the transfers are made from the companies more than fall to those whose ranks are yet short, there' will be enough and to spare for a full regiment. The men, as a general thing, are first class, and will make soldiers tbat will stand up to tbe fire of open musketry or "masked batteries." Tbe guards in camp are armed with the old fashioned Hint-lock muskets, made at Harper's Ferry in 1826. When fully organized, tbe Regiment will draw its arms and uniforms. Both are now teady to be distri buted. The Regiment was invited to a pic-nic at Walnut Grove, about a mile from camp. and were preparing to go to the scene of pleasure when we made our visit. They spent the afternoon in company with the pic-nickers, and had a joyous time camp duties for the hour being forgotton. Col. Meredith is still sick and unable to be in camp, but the boys are not disposed to take advantage of his absence and transgress "general orders." Tbey obey their Cap. tains as readily aa they do tbeir Colonel, and aa obedience is always acknowledged as a soldierly virtue, we are forced to the conclusion tbat Long Sol's Regiment will be among the best that Indiana will have in the field during the war. Ind. Jour., July 22. We learn that Col. Meredith's Regiment, is ordered on to Washington, Tuesday next. C"The Western Virginia correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette reports the following specimen of ortgraphy"as having been discovered in a rebel soldier's letter: The writer, a soldier in a Georgia Regiment, I believe spelt ' according to sound" most literally. For example, be wanted to tell the young lady to whom he was writing i that he "would iind the accursed Yankees j so long as God Almighty gave him breath." ' When he came to "God Almighty," he ap-1 pears to have been puzzled. Finally lie ' made a desperate dash, and wrote it down ! thus: G o-d, God, d i e, die, Goddle, m-i, j mi, t-y, ty; Goddle Mity ! j S2T Philander Wisehart. of the 8th Regiment, who was killed at the battle of Rich Mountain, was a resident of Newcastle.

George Washington Julian styles as a man of "severe virtue." Better so than to be like him entirely destitute of any kind, unless it be a fondness that George seems to have for the virtu of lieing! , Good will Come of it. The recent Bull Run battle, will have a good effect on 'our cause. It will make the final result more sure and crushing, by concentrating an overwhelming force in Washington City put a quietus on the "forward movement" commands of General editors, and Mathias Pointplanning-Juiian-Congresssmen. and urgency Senators, and General Scott will, when the troops again cross the Potomac, do so when be gets ready, and w ith a Certain tt that victory over tref son and rebellion will be complete. ' With a slight alteration, the motto of Jeff. Davis "Let us alone," would be a good thing for Corjgressmen and editors to adopt in regard to Gen Scott: Let uim alone. 37" At Louisville, Ky., on the 22d, Henry Green, formerly of this city, and son of Mr. Job Green, of Cenlerville, Ind., who was acting as watchman in that city, shot a Secessionist by the name of John W. Tompkins. Tompkins was hallooing for Jeff. Davis, and was requested to desist by Green, when he drew a knife on Green who shot him dead. It is" said that TompkiDS had been endeavoring to send contraband articles southward by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad daring tho past week, ind has been the main cause of the recent mi Jnijjht disturbance? at the depot of that road. The reception of tlieneK&ia Louisville, Ky., ot the retreat of the Union Army from Manasses, is said to have made the Union men there resolute, tho' depressed; and to have made the Secessionists rampant; but their intended manifestations were checked by the killing of their leader, Tompkins. Captais Chbis. Miller. A letter to one of our citizens, dated Beverly, Virginia, July I9ih. slatea that Captain Chris. Miller is "getting along finely." and hopes are enterticed that he will be able to be brought home next week. The ball struck rear the right nipple, passiag down, and resta near the hip.

acquainted with Hbe tonography of the country in which the late disasrvus battle was fcugbt. has ajJted me to explain it to him in writine, wub the view of uaderslanding it better than he could from .the map which is in circulation- Presuming that such explanation will be interesting to others as w!I as to "theapplic"ant I offer the fol lowing for publication?

leading from Winchester to Manasses Gap m the Blue Kidge; which is of sucb a nature that a road through it before the Rail road was made had but a very moderate elevation. On the east side of the Gap. tbe road inclines to the left, so as to take advantage of the ground in getting into the ravine of Goose Creek, wbich empties into the Potomac, at Edward's Ferry, three miloa only from Leeslturg. Keeping on the north side ot Goose Creek, it passes through a somewhat hilly country to a point a little above the mouth of Chatteris Run, which empties only half-a-mile from Rector Town where the Railroad crosses on the very ground which was once owned by Richard Evans, the grand-father of Dr. Richard Fulton formerly of this city. After crossing Chatteris Run, the road ascends on the right bank of it (when looking downward) and crosses the old Alexandria Road from Manasses Gap, half-a-mile north of Salem, a little town, and then gradually crosses the dividing ridge between tho waters of Goose Creek and tbose of Bull Run, the ravine of which it enters near a little place called Georgetown, which is in the midst of hills of considerable ascent. Thence, it passes the only hills ot great height on the left bank of Bull Run, for a considerable distance to the neighborhood of Buckland. Thoroughfare Mills being in the ravine between the CaLacbu Mountain on the left, and the Pig Nut Mountain on the South. Thence down, the country is moie open, but still there are places where a military force might be concealed, if not very nearly approached. Not far from Hay market, the Railroad again crosses a dividing ridge between Bull Run and waters which empty higher up the Putomac than tl.e river Ocquocan, which receives the Bull Run. I have no doubt that Beauregard's forces were ! so distributed in the rect-sses of the uneaven country, above Manasses Junction, so that it was very difficult to ascertain their true positions; and. altho' not a military man, 1 suppose t'li at Dr. Sam Johnson's maxim would apply in this instance: "He who, when he meets with a misfortune, immediately, without stopping to consider it, sets about repairing u, has that within himself that will control fortune." S. S. Hurrah Tor Etliridge. Tbe new Clerk of the House has fired a bomb. He aimed in the right direction, and the number t-lain is tremendous. Here is a description of tne. "sheJl" irom a Washington correspondent: "Au announcement was made yesterday, by Mr. Ethridge, that took the employees of the late Clerk, and a number of iie members, by surprise. On his makiug his appearance for business at en early hour on Saturday morning, he was besieged by a iiumLt r of applicants for office, and members -who wished to make his acquaintance. He expressed his determination not to allow a single man to icmain in his employ for an hour who visited gambling saloons, or who kept liquor about his room in the Capitol." , - Not a gambler or toper in tbe Clerk's Depart ment! We can imagine the effect of such a declaration, among the official red coses, whowkld the pen for hours and the bottle twenty each day. How the suckers, voting and old. who have earned party j recognition by swilling bad whisky at the corner dram shops, and have assisted to pay campaign expenses, by successfully battling the tiger, must have been astonished at this unusual remark of the new- Clerk. The i moment the news was spread throughout the , Capital, a legion of brandy blossomed faces ' turned ashy pale with fright. Yes. and the ' correspondent states tbat, even a number of the members were taken by surprise! Membeis, perhaps, wbo are iu the habit of "refreshing themselves," through the private bottles of the clerks, during the tedious hours ot the session. No gamblers or tippler's in the Clerk's ' Department! An actual moral reform right ; iu the heart ot Government!

Sped! Dispatch to th Cia-iooati GU.l a be Fight at Bull' Hun. " ' . - Washisotox. July 23. ' Arnold Harris,' former publisher of the Washington Stales, has gone alter the body -of Col. Cameron with a hNg of truce. The Assistant Surgeon at tbe Centreville Hospital' reached here to-dav. and states Ithat the killed and wounded, be is positive, twill cot "exceed' 60f The Virsrinia cavalry occupied Cer.treville pieces. . All our wounded, some one hundred and twenty, are still in the hospital at Centre-; ville, which is now in possession of the' rebels. - t . i - . j So far as can be officially ascertained, the loss in Sunday's battle will be seven hundred killed, wounded, and missing. Reliable information has been received that the rebels killed many of our wounded on the field. Ambulances and a flag of truce were sent out to-day for the dead and wounded, but have not returned yet. Chaplain Lancey, of the Connecticut First, who was taken prisoner, has escaped and reports that the rebels killed many of our , prisoners. i The Ohio regiments have remit zvoused ; in the city. Thus far but three of their men can be made out killed, with some forty i missing. Tbe six wounded at the first bat-: tie have escaped from Centreville hospital and are well cared for here. j Washington has been crowded to-day to excess. The sidewalks and streets have been covered with straggling soldiers of all sorts, plight and condition. It has been found impossible, owing to the absence of officers, to get the regiments together. Many remnants are located to night in the streets. Thirty new regiments have been ordered here immediately, and all troops ready for service will be accepted. The soldiers are quite ready to blame the officers, on whom in fact a great deal of blame is laid. Many regiments refuse to go into the field with the same officers. The entrenchments opposite Washington are heavily mounted with cannon, and are under the immediate command of Capt. Seymour, late of Fort Sumter. Extravagant rumors have prevailed of an advance of the rebels on Alexandria, but the scouts state that few are seen this side of Centreville. Congress was in session to-day. No spectators were present. It is assertad on very good authority that General Scott states that he was forced into a precipitate advance by the importunities ot Congressmen. General McClellan is expected here tomorrow morning. Louisville, July 24. A special dispatch to the Memphis Argus from Richmond on the 22d, says: , Beauregard commanded on the right at Manassas, and Johnson on the let. Shermau'a Baitery is captured. Beauregard's j horse was shut from under him. Geuerals Barlow of Georgia, and Bee of South Car-' oliiia are killed. The Lynchburg Regi-J meats are cut to pieces. j The Argus editorially says that Gov. ! Jackson recently addressed a number of Missourians, now forming in'o a regiment! near that city, who are eqnpping rapidly to return to Missouri. Washington, July 24.

Louisville, July 25. A special to the Courier, dated Lynchburg the 22d, says the rebels captured C3 cannon, 25,000 stend of arms, 1,200 horses and all the stores and provisions, valued at SI, 000,000.
