Palladium : How truthful are the words of the immortal Mrs. Bedott, " There is a great many .strange things in lhe future, and perhaps some of them may never take place; and she was right, too. Six weeks ago we had every assurance that the 9th division would be seut North perhaps St. Louis for rest and to recruit ita thin and broken ranks, for there has not been a single fight or skirmish since we crossed the Mississippi river, March 29ih, that the 9th division has not been the first to open the ball. Our boys were ia a glo rious good humor at the prospects ahead. and when the order came to pursue that "mat man," Joe Johnson, we were all eager for the chase, believing, as we had a right to, that when that job was through with the campaign in this Department, and for us would be at an end, at least for a while, and we would be removed from this hot and sickly climate. I will not undertake a description of that expedition or the sufferings our troops underwent, suffice to say that no move we have ever bad to make was Halt so nara or neart sickening as tuat iofernal tramp to Jackson, and thank God (or I who ever started the fire) that not a solitary 1 house stands (save It rosy be the State1 .

C. of this State, an intimation .of which we published . from the Cincinnati Commercial of last .week. We notice that the last J?Jf organ, tries tv throw a cloud of dust arouod the Commercial's timely exposure of this con- , tern plate J copperhead rascality, by saying that the 'Republicans in '56" colonized vo- ' ters iujliffer.s,ot counties in Indiana. We recollect that a.certain "democrat, the fiist ( letters of whose name is Levi Druk-y, had quite a number of laborers employed on his faim in Unioa county, digging a dry ditch; 60 anxious was he to have a . sufficiency of colonized voters in the "close" county of UDion to eleut him to th State Senate, I Vansant! Jim Elder recollects tlhat. little transaction well, and we trust out , taHuVon to it will itfreth his memory with past democratic "rascality," and will show him that, when a traitor like Yallandigham ' is to rective sucqor, tuch to ies as himself will not regard State lines to give it. The Commercial 's warning diJ not come a mo- 1 ment too soon, and it will do no harm to ' again copy a portion of it: We expose this hell born scheme in season, snd call upon the friends of the Union everywhere in Indiana and Ohio, to organize without delay, and prepare for the conict.

Lot the Union Leagues, be prepared to defend the sanctuary of the ballot-box defend it to the death, if necessary if it be thus assaileJ. While our brave soldier-boys are in t'je fi-ll, meeting dea'h in every form falling like leaves in wintery weather in defense of our free institutions, let it not be written in history that there was not . courage ad patriotism enough left behind to guard the oallut box. against a desperate charge 0 . made unou it by the rebels in the rear! li the friends of the Uhu t very where take warning, and prepare! Prepare now! Let not a day be lost! liemember, "the price of liberty is eternal rigilaacel ",. "The success of the democratic party in Ohio," says Vallandigham, depended on the rebels defending Ykksburg la the last! ynat cared he how many of our brave boys foil at that eig, bo that the copper ' . l. ',ea faction ol tne democratic party tn urnphed in the coming electwnl lie fc;s "southern brethren" to kill the U tells uion soldiers hold rut to the last for his sake.--It does not matter to him how many lives are destroyed how many are crippled and maimed for life, for he is opposed to this war from arst to last never having voted while in Congress for a dollar or a man to prosecute it ; therefore, he claims at the hands of the rebels this great boon of prolonging the siege of Vicksburg, s j that the people of Ohio may become impatient from the lack of success, and vote for him with the hope of ending the war., and restoring peace! But Vicksburg surrendered much sooner than Vallandigham and his friends desired ; and the next, aud last hope to save him, is this infernd scheme of the copperhead torie3 of Indiana, through the agency ofathe traitorous organization of the Knights of the Golden Circle, to colonize voters into Ohio. Forewarned, forearmed ; but we thick it will fail about as signally as Val's Vickbburg calculations. T We see that Dan Voorhees has gone to , Ohio to stump it for the traitor Va lan digham. It is very appropriate that Voorhees should be thus engaged; for. when the call ' t . , n .j for 7o,000 men was made by the President to defend the nation's honor and punish , treason, iita uttered the true sentiments of his heart : "As a member cf Congress, urill never vote one dollar, one man, or on gin, to ine Jianunwtration of Abraham r r s. j. . i -"'i " " rco- ... , - ...

That the Democratic principles heretofore. vowed.to which we stand pledged imperatively demand of us to repudiate the doctrines ot secession and all sympathy with them, and to give our unqualified support of our country and its constituted authorities in the great trial of war, until the last vertage of the present rebellion is suppressed ani destroyed. 2. That the pride nnd boast of the Democracy has been to Ikw to the will of the majority, and we declare that the election of a President obnoxious opinions and sentiments furnfehed no cause for secession, and is now no proper or justifi-ible excuse for opposition to the war now waging to re store the authority of the National Constitu lion over the rebellious State?. 3. That he conspiracy to break ip the Union of-democra ic States, and to establish artst'icrncte, was tnmreraieiy piimwl mi executed by tl. e who brike up and purposely defeated the Dnncraiic p.irty. We have no opologies to offi-r for the actsof the traitors who declared that the "election of Mr. Lincoln would be a good cause for secession, disunion and revolution," and we denounce all organizations that oppose, or fail with their whole strength to support the war and crush the rebellion, as antidemocratic, fanatic and treasonable. 4. That the causeless attack by the rebellion upon the integrity ef the Un'on established by our ttevolutiorary fa" hers, under which we have received so many blessings, is a war upon tho principles of civil liberty, and must be overthrown to preserve the icstitutions of freedom and our example aud hope for freemen. 5. That whenever the people of any of ti e rebellious States tieladed into recession. lay d 'wn their arms, and consent to return to the Union, obey the Coostitu'ion and laws of the Federal Government, they should be recognized as citizens and protected in thtir Constitutional rights. G. That, amid the trials of the times, the friends of organized civil liberty should show that our Government has, and will use, the f nwer to put down all mobs nd other unit wiul combinations to 'resist the ltws enacted to raise men and mi ans to suppress this rebellion, and duty to democratic institutions require an unhesitating exercise of that power. 7. That upon the interference of any foreign power sympathizing with ths rebellion of an aristocracy, and seeking to overthrow the institutions of democratic; liberty, we appeal to our Government to meet such interference with war, and we pledge ourselvts to sustain without faltering our Government in the struggle. 8. That while the people have poured forth I ht-ir blood and treasure in support of t'.ie institutions aid government of frtemen. our authorities both State and National, are imperiously required to sternly rebuke all neglect to fiU, fully . apply the public monies and the puUio - credi', to hold all to a strict aceouatability, to suppress all lavish expenditures, and more than all, the spirit of speculation b-ctdir g the treasury and demoralizing the people, a nd to visit swift and eosdisrn liu-iishment, on all 1 speculators and l ecalators noon the roonev snd means of the people now suffering j numerable pnvatioas in their devotion to the country.. - 9.

This distinguished Western orator and statesman was in the city yesterday. He seems to have lost much of his old vivacity of manner, which may be attributed to his recent severe domestic affliction. He remained but a few hours, and then went to bis home io Indiana. . Mr. Colfax is very generally spoken of as the Union candidate tor tho Speakership of the next House of Representatives. Of course we do not wish to announce any preference ia this matter, choosing rather to leave it to the decision td the Union members of the next Congress, as a nomination by them, it now appears, will be equivalent to an election. But no one can be insensible to the fact that the long and brilliant parliamentary career of Mr. Colfax, his unsullied political record, his spotless personal character, over which a suspicion of, wrong has never hovered, his industry and sagacity, and his inti mate connection with the struggles and tri umphs of the West in the war, form a combination of rare qualifications for the important position for which hi friends are proparing to present him.

Reader, if you have a book ia your library that you have read, devote it to the Indiana Hospital for the Insane. The officers of that benevolent insiiution are not only asking, but they are soliciting donations of that character, and we advise our readers to heed the call and respond to the benevolent demand. . There is no class of persons so much to be pitied as the insane; therefore, every effort calculated to relieve them should be carefully and faithfully executed. During our visit to the Insane Hospital we have discovered what we thought every great omission oo the part of our Ligislature. and after having had a conversation with the officers of the institution, we think that they concur with us in that impression. It is simply this : The poor unlorlanate inmates who are compelled to wear away so many long, tedious lonesme hours, are totally destitute of a library or anything in the shape of read ng matter. The good citizens of Indiana can remedy this in a very short time, and we hope thev will do it. Let the good wives and daughters of Indiana go to work examine your newspaper and periodical files, and bundle them up and send the same by express to Dr. Woodburo, the Superintendent, who will have the latter bound, while the formt r can be used without.

Deceased was born in this city, July 23d, '37. Although his life was short, it was a most eventful one. He grew up in our midst, and was always favorably regarded by those who knew him best. But it required a nation's peril to awake the silent energies of his nature, and show him to be one of the few, born to command, a true patriot, and the bravest of the brave. In the Spring of '61, heenlistel ia the 16tb Ind. tteg't, under CoL (afterwards Gen.) Pi A. llackleman, and wai made 2d Lieut, of Co. B. Here be won an enviable reputation and the love of every man in his company, lie was among those who assisted in saving our broken columns after the Ball's Bluff disaster. His time of service expiring, he soon raised a company for the 6'Jth Ind. and was immediately commissioned its Captain. That company (A) under his moulding hand became, in drill and discipline, al! that a noble ambition could desire. Ten days after the Itfgiment was organized and armed, he led his company into tho '.hiefcest of the 'ht at Richmond, Kr, Aw 30. 1862. He was compelled to yield himselt a prisoner of war. ' . After a time, being with his comrades dulv exclianged, he went on the Mississippi expedU 1 tion. On Dec. 28th and 29th. 18(52, he led his ' company into that bloody battle where so many brave men met the hitter fate. . At Arkansas Tost, Jan. 11, 1863, he headed his company, eager for the clai-h of steel with his country's foes. In a short time the Majorship becoming vacant, he was promoted to fill the place. Every officer and pi ivate was gratified, and anticipated much from the promotion. " Their anticipations were not disappointed.' In that unparalleled and glorious Vickuburg camiaign, he was ever at his post, in the battles of Port Gibson, May 1st; Cnampion Hill, May 16ih; Black River Bridge, May 17th; and Vicksburg, May 19th, 2t)th,-2l.;t and 22nd. On the 22nd the day of our bloody repulse about noon, becoming too conspicuous a mark for rebel sharpshooters, he fell near the enemy's works, pierced by an Euheld ball, transversely through the right lung, the bail escaping through the UtfX becaxt. - His phys'cian pronounced the wound inortul. I shall not die," said he, but chall soon go home to see my friends.' Mrs. Wri-ley all honor to her name for her untiring efforts in behalf of the soldier hearing of her brother's condition started accompanied by her brother-in-law to his assistance, and reached him ou the 10th of June. On the llth, the party started homeward and arrived at their destination on the 26th. By this time, the Major had such a fair pros pect of recovery, that his most fearful friends began to hope. But, alas ! as time wore away so did his strength. His tenacity to life was o great, and his desire to return to his regiment so strong, that he never yielded hope, until the niht before he died. When informed that his dissolution drew near, with a gentle resignation, he relaxed his hold on life. During his last, hours, he conversed freely about deaih.in that same animated eoolneas with which he had so often brayed death ft the cjjjr non's mouth. When talking of his country, he would say : " I can freely gi ve mf life in Mach, a cause.'' When of himself.-! hope the Lord will receive my spirit, fir I have offered it to him in all sincerity. I beheve it will be well wiiu me in the future. When his extremities were already eold in death he gently placed his hand is the hand of an affectionate sister, saying:" You Cly do what you please with that now.' Although his sufferings were intense, he pos J sessea tne faculty of reason, remarkably, until the spirit winged hi upward flight, and left the body to sink into death's embrace, without a struggle or a groan. .
