Like the decis on made by this delectable Cooel In ib- P.,ibif T V X Court, in the Prohibitory Law ease, tbts forethought repud.auon was foreshadowed by Jndga Perkins, through the columns of that tory sheet, the Richmond Jrffertonian. n-M-w. t . , , . from this district, having issued his ukase to, bi chattels of the oreaa therein, the v have nub. m w - W liahed the Report made to congress on the char ges against the Commissioner of Patents, Mr. I Hollo way, and they all with one accord, being' animated by the same spirit, conclude that the committee found bim guilty of having M Iot by . his mismanagement or knavery " $38,538 08 ; J notwithstanding the committee emphatically ray: "THEY HAVE FAILED TODISCOV-I ER EVIDENCE TO SATISFY THEM TUAT THE COMMISSIONER WRONG-! FULLY INTENDED TO MISAPPROPRIATE THE PUBLIC MONEY." If the Republican, the Courier and the Broad axe, were disposed to do the Commissioner justice, they Would publish Mr. H's manly vindication ; but no, that would defeat the olject of their vindic tive, devilith-spirited master, and show him and his persistent course to injure Mr. Holloway, in his official and private character, to their readers in a true light. The Crops. The Itushville Republican says: From the best information we cn obtain we are compelled to say tbal the wheat barTest in this county will not exceed half ant average crop, fiome fields are wel set and ! give a prospect of a fair yield, but they are) the exceptional cases. The majority of the fields are thin, with large barren spots, and me wncai not being on tbe grouud, they cannot give a large crop, however favorable the season may be hereafter. The thinness of the fields is accounted for by the unusually dry weather last fall the wheat did not get a good start, aod was not well sit before the winter thaws. On the other hand, the New Albany Ledger says: j We continue to receive the most cheering !, accounts from the growing wheat crop of' Southern Indiana. Tbe stalk of the rraio is l . a a m ... nesuny ana oi good color, while many fields' re already in blossom. Harvest commences ' in this seotion generally from tbe 26th of ? r" J," ".Ul''.'aa V n.n 00 ,n tervening bad weather the vield of wheat will be one of the heaviest we bave had for several years past. The rye, barley, and oats crops are also very promising. The Veray Reville says of Switzerland county: We are informed that the prospect for a good crop of apples and peaches, ia this county, ia not flattering. Raspberries, blackber ries, and small fruits generally, are abund ant. The proprietors of the Chicago Times withdrew their application for an in junction after Burnside'a order was revoked by the President. If they were so certain of success in tbe Courts, why did they not press the matter, and get a decision o the Court in their favor ? Withdrawing tbeir case after nearly a day spent in argu ing it, is a eonfession of weakness. " A certain deputy collector knows where the money (two hundred dollars) come from." Broadaxe. JtaV No doubt he does, for Hammond would not tell an untruth about it ; although hs told Mr. Barks that he " received the money from Mr. Julian for electioneering for him" during the last Congressional campaign!

Headquarters District ok Indiana, 1 Department cf tbe Ohio, V Indianapolis, June 6, 1863. J I. The commanding General having received notice that he will soon be relieved of his command of the District of Indiana which was temporarily assigned him, hereby rescinds General Order No. 9, issued from these Headquarters, on the 25ih of April last. He does this without instructions from any source in order to leave his successor free to adopt such course as in his judgement will Itest subserve the public interest in the States of Indiana and Mich,,n. which will hereafter compose the District. II. On retiring from the command of the District, the General commanding desires to return his thanks to the officers ar.d soldiers under his command, tor the cordial co-operation and assistance he has at all times received from them, and enjoins upon them tbe same course in regard to bis sue cessor. When be came in command ot this District, he found it threatened with c satisfaction of turning it over to his successor comparatively quiet, and with no reason .1. i . : . i i to apprehend serious trouble al any point. HI. He retires aho with such consolalion as is to ue iouna in tne tact tbat bis course has met the cordial approbation of the commanding officer of the Department, . . 4 and also of a great majority of tbe loyal citizens of the State.

Just as we were out of ammunition, they retreated down lhe hill, and the 42d Ohio, coming to our relief, one dose from them was enough, and they broke and did not ccme back again. The retel 6,h Missouri was ;never whipped before, and I guess they thought it would be mere child's play to drive us from our position. There was no more fighting in front1 of our division after this, bnt fighting con tinned on our right uutil dark, and then the bloody battle of Thompson's Hill was brought to a close. The result of the days fighting was : the rebels were whipped and scattered to the four winds we took about 2,500 prisoners snd 18 pieces of artillery." Mr. K. gives the number in the regiment, fit for duty, after this battle, at 250, snd says that this is the remnant out of 1,100, when the regiment started from Indiana, a little over eight months ago. He says his brother Albert, about tbe time the rebels trade their bayonet charge, was wounded in tbe hip by nine buck-shot, he was not then considered dangerously wounded. In a postscript, dated the 7ih, Mr. K. says : " News came last nigt that Albert was dead. He died early on Thurbday morning. May 3d, and was buried decently under a large oak tree, close to the Mississippi liver. He died without a struggle. No word of complaint passed his lips sicce be received his wound, and he died without speaking to any one. The man who lay with him did not know he was dead until next morning. All who knew him in the regiment, mourn his loss both as a brave soldier and true companion. I was as much surprised as grieved to hear of his death. Do not-giieve too much over bis loss, for remember be has fallen in a noble cause, and tbat God will bless him for it, and time will honor him, and he will be remembered as one of the patriots tbat fell battling for justice and liberty. Oh ! what would I not give if he were not dead 1 Oh, my brother ! my brother! bow I loved bim ! But I will bave revenge yes, double revenge for his life. I will spare no rebel ; but will fight them until I can do so no longer. I swear this before High Heaven so help me God ! In another place in his letter, Mr. K. eays : Albert's csp!ain told me that he was as brave a soldier as he had in his company. Colonel Perry told me of his bravery in the field." At the battle of Thompson's Hill, two rebel Generals were killed and two taken j prisoners. Une oi mem. oenerai iwi.en, " b,s ParoIe' nd General Osterhaus "? he'll hang biro, if he is again caught.

Ikdi ASAPOLts, J nee 10. The steamer Atlantic, sent by Gov. Morton to Vicksburg. after the wounded, returned to-day with tbe hut lot, and all tie Indianiacs wounded in the battles. Gen. Grant's losses in killed, wounded and missing, since he commenced this memorable campaign, toot up less than 7,000; the Indiaoians killed, and wounded being less than 400. The army is in splendid condition, and Gen' Grant assured one ot Gov. Morton's agents that if Johnston attacked him with less than 60,000 men, he would give him a severe drubbing. For some days past tie citizens of a por lion of Ruth county have been threatening the lives of any one who attempted to enroll their names, in accordance wi h the recent act of Congress. These threats were so numerous that Deputy Marshall Frank Stevens with detectives fallowed close behind the enrolling Commissioner. While the Commissioner wi in the houso asking the ladies some questions relative to their husbands ages, 4c, Stevens and Clay field drove up in a buggy and stopped. Some men who were concealed in a wheat field rose op and fired, killing Deputy Marshall Stevens, and mortally woundiog Clayfield. Tbe Commissioner, who was in the house, nVd, but received one ball through his hat, and a second one through his coat, in escaping. Mr. Stevens was a highly respectable citizen, and his death has caused great excitement throughout the district. Provost Marshall McQuinston arrived here this evening after a military force, and has returned with two companies of infantry and one of cavalry. He will arrest the parties, and enforce the enrollment at all hazards. ' Governor Morton sent General Mans6eld of the Legion, with tbe expedition.

As it is a matter of vital importance to us that we shall have done our part in sup pressing the rebellion, we think the above enumeration of black troops already in the fisld angers well for our final success, for nobody has doubts about the bravery of these men. From the Boatoo Daily Advertiser, May 81. The Corps D'Afrique. U'.Jer this title General Batks, in an or der dated at Ooelousas on the 1st of May, 'declaies his intention to organize a corps of character has arisen from incorrect ideas of tbe e fficers in command.

Controversies unnecessary and injurious to tbe service have arisen between uirui ttuu uinti w uuui. - tic uiciuimuuu i 1 . .

The following extract from a private letter, received from a field officer of one of the black regiments now in the service in Louisiana, will throw some light on the results to which the experiment has already led: "There are four regiments of infantry and one company of artillery organized and now in active service in the field; and now a word about the negro troops. "After nearly five months experience with them, I can unhesitatingly say, that with proper trailing they will make the best 1 1 oops in the field. They are courageous, obedient, clean, and well behaved; are sworn enemies to tbe rebels, warm friends o the American Union, and after putting down the rebellion will be the standing army of this country, and will make tbeir former taskmaters respect the laws and majesty of the United States. They have sown the wind; now they are reaping the whirlwind. The black troops have successfully overcome ti e severest prtjudice by their j good conduct and soldierly abilities. "All the comrnissirned officers of my eummand are white, and I am in favor of whi'e officers because the men have more confidence in thir ability to lead them. 1 assure you the men will certainly justify the opinions formed of them by their friends snd the friends of the Government, and 1 will eloe the part of my letter by telling you they are the only real friends we bave got South of Mason Sc Dixon's line." Flax; and Wool. The old, staid puritanical custom of sowing flax is being revived in oar vicinity to a goodly extent, and our Mothers and Grand-mothers are beginning already to talk of bringing from tbe garret the flax- i wheels so long forgotten amid the dust and cobwebs of antiquity, and fit them up for future operations, and the wool-wheels will be in greater demand tbe coming season1 than for many a year past tbe high price , of wool and clothing have induced our ag-1 ricahtrisfs to invest more largely in sheep last fall than ever before.

The Catholic Church and Slavery. We published recently an article from the Catholic Telegraph of Cincinnati, the most influential organ of that Church in the West, and probably in the country, ia which hostility t i slavery was emphatically avow, ed and satisfaction expressed tbat iu des.

ruction must result from the- war now ia progress. Ia (be last issue of the Telegraph - . . the editor speakirr'T-' of" the 'course f.e bad thus deliberately determined to pursue, sajs tbat be had expected to " wound tbe prejudices cf many to whom be was bound by lies of friendship, and had anticipated a considerable decline in his subscription list ; but, to his surprise, he has found his subscribers increasing, and from all parts of tbe country commendations of bis courso are pouring in. Among other letters approving his ocurse, the editor publishes the following from the slave Sta'e of Kentucky : G'd bless you for what you have written about slavery 1 Where it exists the poor white laborer is as little thought of as a dog. That it is hostile to the Church is everywhere evident. Well did the great Bishop of Chaileston, Dr. England, say of tbe South when, after years of labor, he ao cc roplUhed so little, it is a stubborn soil. That the Church has been ever the friend of the slave system is a monstrous assertion. Europe was lull of slaves when Christiani ty was proclaimed there is not one now. Who suppressed the system? Goon with the good work. Many will denounce you but far moro will thank you." Tbe Telegraph also publishes an extract of a letter from a distinguished officer of the Army of the Cumberland, with the remark that " he has never been an abolitionist, but has, like ourselves, stood up for the demc crscy." This officer says, writing from Murf reesboro : " i "I am hsppy to see the splendid stand yen lock in the Telegraph against slavery, with its horrors, baibarities and base immoralities. Slaveiy is dead. Noth ing can resuscitate it. To learn this fact fully you should pay us a visit. There ia not a negro in the South who does not know be is free. Around here they hare squat ted cn the plantations, and refuse to work for anybody but themselves. They have sown littlo crops of tbeir own, and the mas tets cease to exercise any control over them " As an indication, I will cite a strong case. J he lady ot tbe bouse where 1 am staying attempted to punish one of her ne gro women this morning. I had to step in to save the mistress from being badly used up, as the darkey was belaboring her with the stick intended for her own punishment ' Ex vno ditce omnes.' It is needless for me to say tbat I applaud every sentiment you have expressed in the Telegraph. Your course is tbat ol the prudent navigator, who, watching the black speck in the horizon, sees it expand into a portentous storm, and calls up his crew to take iu sail and prepare for a contest with tbe elements. The storm will pass away, and you will bo found sailing under full sail, while those who took not heed will be scattered by the gale. " I am heart and hand hand with you in this cause. Slavery is doomed, and those who would now uphold it will be held up, in a very short time, to publio odium and execration. No statesman will yindicate it; no friend of human progress will stretch forth a hand to break its fall ; no lover of humanity and religion will grieve for its overthrow. I have lived long enough in the South to see its workings, its disgusting features, debasing the higher principles of our nature, warring wun religion, an.d patronizing vice and immorality. Almighty God has certain y ordained its destruction in this country, where it has been more offensive and immoral than in any other, until it is utterly extinct this war cannot, from the nature of things, cease. Iam ia favor of a cessation of hostilities at as early a day as possible ; therefore, I am in faypr of the President's proclamation. This State was made for white people and free labor, and when slavery no longer blights ita boideis we may expect to see the church and the school-house take tbe place of the slave pen.' L'uloii Itle?elliir. In pursuance of notice, a large and patriotic Union meeting was held at Chester, on Saturday last, June t. The meeting was organized by appointing Mr. T. C. Courtney Cbairman, and Macajny Wesson, Secretary. On motion, a committee of three were appointed by the Chair to draft resolutions for the action of tbe meeting, riz : Elihu Cox, Greir Nichols and B. W. Elliott, during the absence of said committee, the audience was interested in a Union and patriotic speech from the lire Rev. Mr. Garroll of Hillsboro. After which lhe committee submitted the following preamble and resolutions : Wheuxas, We are determined to forget all former political differences of opinion, and placing the best interests of tbe Union above all party prtiUliciious we are for the continuar.ee of this Government agaiost its enemies at home and in rebeldom. Resolved, Tbat it is ths unmistakable duty of all loyal citizens to co-operate with each other ia supporting the Administration in ita atruggles in crushing out this nnholy and uncalled for rebellion. Resolved, Tbat we heartily approve and mutt sustain the President in all orders and proclamations which, in the plentitude of his wisdom, wa are aware thai tbe Consti tution gives him the means to weaken the rebel power and influence to strengthen the Union cause. Resolved, That we endorse and will assist Gen. Barcside s orders in their enforcement in all cases whatsoever, and furthermore. all persons wearing any badge emblematic al of tne rebellion, sbould be arrested and punished to the fall extant of military usages. Resolted, That we say to our brsve sol diers in the service of the country, that we will encoursge them in all tbeir trials and hardships, and offr op prayers and sympathies for tbem iu all that may beset them in tbeir efforts to restore this Uniba en tbe principles of the Constitution. Resolved, Tbat we regard all those per aona ia the eouetry who are embarrassing tbe Administration for opposing all its me as area for tbe suppression ot this GtxJ-defyiog rebellion as cowardly butternuts, and deserve bacisbment to Dixie as about half punbhmeat for their Crimea. Retolcrd, That it ia the duty of all good citizens to lcd a helping band to asaist those families of soldiers, whose male help has

gone to assist to put down this rebellion, ia providing all the comforts of life for them ; that the 813 per month is bat a small compensaiion for those who have periled tbeir lives and all upon the altar of their country, while we remain at home enjoying all the comforts of life, and making money at tbat in trreat quantities. lit sol red. That the patriotic and humane

policy of Gov O. P. Morton towards the n1n wounded soldiers, meets ojr hear - 11 approval, and has won for him the sroldea opinions of tbe American peop'e. and entitles him to the just name as bei-ij the besi Govareor in the United Statea. Resolmnt, That tbe course J. C. Fremont pursued while in chief command of the -iwu-wcsi meets ouroordial approval; bis removal has caused gloom and dismay ia the American bosom. We think be ought to be re instated immediately for tbe best interest of the United States. It is graiiI tying to know that the Government al last is coming to the course which Fremont adopted that caused his removal. lit sol red. That the foregoing preamble and resolutions be forwarded to the county papers for publication. After reading tbe preamble and resolutions, a motion was made to adopt them. The ayes not being as general as was desirable, a motion was made to adopt by a rising vote which brought the audience up standing with few exceptions, aud were adopted by a large majoriiv of both sexes.
