Meredith's "military history." They -prefer going to headquarters to the Chieftain who, in the midst of the battle, when he observed Col. . Meredith's "cool and courageous conduct, and bis skillful bundling of his men, remarked: "THAT MAN HAN EARNED A MTAU." They prefer to "find out," fresh from the lips of that noble, brave and gallant old warrior FIGOTISO JO. HOOKER," whether; Genl Meredith is "Tti'l onre or not. Us pity, tlie answer trt the .4jeV nnmitigated slanders, was a matter of record, long before Gea. Meredith was thought of as a candidate for Congress against Mr. Julian. We reproduce tV following letti-r from Gen. Ifoocu, to the IIn. C. B. Smith, from the Palladium of October Slst, 1S62, nd we ask the Are, to do justice to Uen. Meredith, by anpying it i "Hon C. B. SMITH, Seo'y of the Interior: " Dear SirI have it very much at heart that CoL MEREDITH ahonld be promoted to the rank of Brigadier General in the Volunteers, and take the liberty , to request that you will give me the aid of your influence in securing that object. "CoL MEREDITH is a NOBLE SOLDIER, and will, exercise the duties of that ofiee WITH GREAT CREDIT TO HIMSELF AND COUNTRY.

We have, ar" y i nuaintance with botn 1 . - , - ,incies, as well as projwse to supply defi . ortecX some i-c rfrrd to-' . .-'tyiie record of Mr. Julian, A glance a will show 8Cln8nI1s8 lia been the proraiw Mature of his character ever sinc16 cnerel public life. It is an adjpjtel fact, that Lis principal business aas been that of an office-seeker, his professional business never amounting to anything. In fact he has become to regard himself as having an exclusive right to become a candidate and we challenge any one to- name a single person who has ever been a candidate against Mr. Julian, that he, Julian, did not abuse, malign and attempt to injr-je by everv means in his power. The fact js notori-

date for the Legislature; being defeated by Mr. llolloway, he bolted the nomi nation and left the Whig party. In 1848, 1,. ,1, r 1.. he went into the County Convention at Centreville, but not beino- suited, he nrfiui bolted and with a few friends nominated and supported a separate counrj ticket. In 1849, he sold out the Free soilers to tlie Democratic party to secure their votes, and by this bargain Jim. Elder and John S. Reid were sent to the Lejnslaiure. lie maa a fumuar oargaut in 1M51, but was defeated by a portion Of ' J 1 ' the Democratic party repudiating th . . Contract. He was a Candidate again in '52 and was defeated. In '54, he went into a Fusion Convention at Indianapolis, , .. , , and introduced a String Of resolutXons which were voted dowu, whereupon, he t again bolted the convention and ticket. In 185G, he repudiated the Republican State Ticket, and wrote letters over his own signiturCj.to the Xutianal Era at Washington, and a paper at Columbus, Indiana, calling ion the people to "rfa everything in theit pence r to overwhelm it with an inglorious dejeat." He supported the ticket in 18G0 and 1S'2 because he was a candidate upon it- lie has been for trade and traffic, whenever it would win, but at other times, he performs the role of the conscientious man. His vindictive character is proven by his whole public life. He never forgave an opponent,and followed both Rariden and" Ta'rker to their graves with his vituperation and abuse, and again when Gen. Meredith was first authorized to raise a regiment, be public! declared he had no such authority, andthaj liecould not get a single person from this county to go with him, fec, thus allowing his malice to work au injury to our cause. But after Gen. Meredith, had raised his regiment, gone into the service and been recommended to the President for promotion, Mr. Julian went to the President and abused a brave aud gallant soldier, misrepresented Iris position and standing at home, and for a time prevented his receiving a promotion he had so justlyearned. But finally the President became satisfied that Mr. Julian" opposition to Gen. Meredith, was occasioned by jealousy, and promoted him over his protest. Julian then endeavored to prevent his confirmation by the Senate, but could accomplish nothing there. As a business member of Congress, Mr. Julian is a complete failure. He knows practically, nothing of the business, and spends all of his time after making one speech a year,, iu writing letters over his district, to secure a re-election. He is a great letter writer, and unless he is very cautions, some of his letters (not intended for publication,) nay soon find their way into print. His professions for Mr. Lincoln are all false. He was formerly a member of the Chase committee, and only withdrew from the committee within the past two weeks, for fear it would injure his prospects for re-election. He has never been a rrwe friend of the administration, and is still for Mr. Chase, and dare not deny it. ; - He has never done anything for the army, but has continually found fault with those who were doing their best to suppress the rebellion and periling thveir lives while he was-safely eiuartered in Washington, writing letters to secure bis return to Congress. Not one of his family have volunteered, but are enjoying comfortable positions at . Washington, while others are fighting the battles of the country. . ' ? ' Again, Mr. Julian has no sympathy for soldiers. The 19th Indiana had several companies from this tongressi&nal district, composed of his constituents, and their sons have been""with the army,.of the Potomac for over two years. Did Mr. Julian ever visit them to encourage, them by his presence? , WJtien thej were ' entirely cut to pieces In battle, did he eT: 1 er" volunteer to go to their assistance, a

XO" ' " i What, then, undtih heaven we ifek, has he done that he must be pensioned unon the people pf this -district, as a member t'F?re?fb- Jt. 5? fusion of brmer and better men, who have lost their health in their country's cause. L? (Je-nSIereditlri "needs no defense at our hamls. Kvery intelligent voter in this district is-familkr with his history and public services ; ' but when the editor of the -j-eWllr Mm a'defaultef, we pronounce tlie statement maliciously false a base lie, trumped up ty Mr. Julian and Lis allies, to injure a brave and gallant soldier. From Washington. Washikotow, March It. Gen. Grant left this evening for Nashville. He arrived about ten this morning from the Army of the rotoiuac. tte wa received with great enthusiasm by the army, although heavy rains prevenlod a pvneral I demonHlration in his honor. He had a long conference , with Uen. Meade at his headquarters, where he spent t the niirtit. and by whom he was accompanied here. ' It i-s understiMtl that he intends to reorganize the 1 armies Ulh here and in the West; and t!at he said i that, if fK-rmitt 1 to have his own ay. he could n j supl.rvss Mct'U-llanisra in the I'otomuc army, which ! he retried n t!e ehief obstacle ti iu success.

to say about the ddier, a few weeks since. Ther I hare aowbegnn to cUf oarer, that the soldiers did not behave so bad, after all, at" the county convention at Ceatervuie that they coadneed themselves m an erderly manner" that they acted like perect gendemen" on that occasion, Ac, ac. Mr. Julian himself has manifested a most nn wonted activity, in bringing forward in Congress measures relating in some way to military affairs, which- he procures to be forthwith heralded through tie tUcgraph, and which his organs are loud in trumpeting forth as evidences of the intense interest he feels in the soldiers' welUarc. Among the latest of these evidences of his new-born seal, and evidently he one wbicti he ami v - r - : l -l u-. t m : . LJU l.:..V.

But in the excess of their enthusiasm they omit to inform thir j readers, that this bill of Mr. Julian is notliimr but ai cjy of a bill previously prepared and introduced in the Senate by Mr. Wilson of Mass., an! that it Is a m.-asure which has been universally, advocated and approved by all tlie Administration members since Congress assembled. They emit, too, to enlighten ns as to tAn this happy thought first dawned upon the mind of our Representative. The soldiers however, for whose especial benefit all this effort is male, can reaJily conjecture as to tren. and for what purpose this policy was adopted by Mr. ' Julian, if they will but take the trouble to read bis 'lireat speech" delivered in Congress en the ISth. of February, 163, and which is quoted ::h approval in tlie llroad Axe of the it!f inst. Ia that speech, Mr. Julian, speaking of the policy which ought to be ; aikiiited by th a vcrnment says : The Goremmeut slionli arm the Colore 1 raon f the frea States as well as the slaves of the South, an 1 tUerebv give eftWt to the proclamation irf freedom. It should at once organise a bureau of emancipation, to take charge of the great interests dev..led upon it by : tlie extinction of siavery.

Xac we find him consenting that thesa same plantations should be given to the Soldier. l!ut, m would ask, if the negroes had a ri-jht to these plantations then, have tliey .not the same right now f How have they forfeited tbei;htd which Mr. Julian then conceded to them? AuJ how can he, now, consistently advocate the taking away of what rightfully belongs to them, and giving it to others t It is the boast of Mr. Julian's friends, that beis,jir excrlUnct, a man of fir incite that he would never coun tenance an act of wrong or oppression, in order to j subserve anv purpose whatever. Can .it be possible ! . , , , , . : that his intense longing after ttddurt rotrt, lias been , able to seduce him on that occasion? The soldiers..; and others interested in the present Congressional canvass, will form their own conclusions. We opine, there are few, who know Mr. Julian intimately, who would look for him to hesitate long as between the nrgro and the soldier, unless there were something especially desirable to be made by It. Answer and Question. We verj- seriously protest having the j photograph of our character taken by the ' gentlemanly professors of the Ax particularly so, as the camera and the 4newlr discovered chemicals thev use. onlv v f. n ,. - . , i bring forth reflections of their own char- ; . . . . TT : acters and natures! However, we can ...... see no objection to answering the ques- i oil tion they ask us in regard to supporting the individual who shall be selected at the April nomination election as the can- ; date for Congress. Whenever we have engaged in a nominating election, we I have always considered that we were in honor bound to Kiinnort. th nnminco v- i a. i t , ... , . e have not deviated from this rule, and although the pill has been a bitter one on two occasions, we have swallowed the dose for the sake of the cause. Should Mr. Jujhm be again chosen next April, whic h we have reasonal le grounds to hope will not lie the case, as much as we dislike the taste of ipecac and aloes, and worm-wood and gall, we shall gulp it down. We hope never to be guilty of doing as the "c.i." M. C. himself did when Gov. - Morton was first nominated, write a letter to the Xctional Era, expressing the dosire that 'the tick et nominated icovld meet with an inglorious drfedt, and then carry out the principle at the election, by scratching his name of the ticltl! Having now, we think satisfactorily, answered the question of the llroad Axe we beg in turn to propound to that paper and other Julian organs of the district, this question : Do yon pledge yourselves to vote for, and advocate the election of Gen. Meredith, in case he is nominated at the approaching election? And inasmuch as it is currently reported and believed, that Mr. Julian has privately announced his intention to bolt the nomination, we demand that that gentleman himself, shall also give an explicit answer to the same question. We shall adopt the same rule of construction that has been applied to us, and ask the public to construe the silence or eqm 'vocation, of either of these parties, as a negative answer to the ques tion on their part.

Julian vs. Lincoln.

In former numbers of this paper, we have laid before our readers the vstrictly private and cottifidential" circular isof IxiiAsxr We also allegetl that those secret circulars were seni to mis Uisirict i and elsewhere nnder the official frank of Mr. Julian. Upon these facts we charged that Mr. Julian was secretly engaged in laboring to defeat the nomination of Mr. Lincoln, and secure that of Mr. Chase. -t These facts proved to have an effect ; most damaging to Mr. Julian's prospects Ju district, where the Union sentif . . , . meat is almost unanimous in favor of Lincoln ; and hence it bec ime a matter of . extreme nCCCCSsitV that this effect should ' be counteracted in some wav. We look- i . . " denial of the charge, because such dsfllial Was necessary "for the gOCXl Df the order," and were therefore well ; , , r- , T ,. - i entire district, coming out last week, in : : a broadside of denunciations aeainst this ! huge Short horn lie," and proceeding vigorously to "nail it to the counter." ! Upon examination of these papers , ! : however, it will be found that they do UOt I well agree among themselves, regarding , .this matter. For example the JV?p Castle Courier, who was not "posted" in time ' fro:n Washington, denies the whole thing ; from beginning to end. It contends that j there never was such committee, nor any j such circular; that the whole thing was ; u a j an unmitigated "hoax." j The other papers however, who had received letters from Mr. Julian, admit ! that there was such a committee, and that i without his consent. The Delaware Co. papers, who seem to-have some personal knowledge of the matter, in effect admit, that the secret circulars were sent under ! Mr. Julian's frank; but they contend that . he franked themftrjijut knowing the ; nature of the documents ! j Mr. Julian himself says : "Some six j or eight weeks ago, the friends of Chase in the city appointed a National Kxecu- ; tive Committee to further his claims for fe nomination, and as I was known to , . , . , , , . t.have been a decided personal and politic1 al friend of Chase, they placed me on the Committee, but without my consent." j Here, at last we have the important facts established, that there was a Chase ; committee, and that Julian was placed j upon it. Mr. Chase, in a recent letter to ; one of his political friends, 6tated that, j a number of members of Congress, . and other distinguished citizens favorable to my nomination, constituted themselves as a national Executive committee, &c. Docs not the public suppose that Mr. Chase, knew who his friends were and how his committee was gotten up? And will not his testimonv upon this point show fully 1 1 J as much weight as that of 3Ir. Julian? & t..i:- u- j. -.txr . u uiiaii jtit-s iu siM . uj ii'Ticarun, being called on for my opinion and coun- j sel, I opposed making Chase a candid- ! ate." Yes, very likely he did so "q"ter- j wards' "--but how long afterwards? Was ! it after the Indiana State Convention ! unanimously declared for Lincoln? or ' Was It after the Legislature of the State , . ' of Ohio made their declaration, which drov Mr. Chase from the field as a can- ! didate? There was very good ground j for the friends of Chase to give that sort of advice about those times. j Mr. Julian further states that he has declined to frank Chase documents to i his district or elsewhere, we have no ; doubt he "has declined" to do so on some occasions but, since when, Mr. Julian? Can you, dare you deny that-these secret j circulars have at any time gone forth to; the countrj', under j our frank as a ' member of Congress? ! i This letter of Mr. Julian's is about as j ingenious a piece of special pleading as we remember to have seen, and it certain- I ly displays a much higher degree of; "legal acumen" than he has ever been j known to exhibit on behalf or a client, i while at the bar. But it Cannot rescue! him from the position in which he stands i before the public The facts necessary I to make out the charge against him stand j admitted like the party in whose hands I stolen goods are found, the burthen of j proof rests upon him, to show that these facts are consistent with his innocence of the charge. We shall continue this subject hereafter, and when the proper occasion arrives, will endeavor to present some additional j facts in evidence, which will settle this 1 controversy most conclusively.

All- the papers we see U from that District are for Julian. ,r We should heartily and zealonsly espouse the other side if we were there. All the stuff about Julian as a "representative man" is bosh. Meredith has proved himself a soldier, and in this crisis of our countrv it is enough to make one sick to hear a man spoken of as embodying the ' public idea who never went to war, who 1 never got a recruit, who never encourag ed enlistments and hasn't done anything for the Government except to hold civil otiiee. We always admired the talent of Julian but if he is not a cold-hearted man, if he is not for himself and nobodyelse, if he was ever accused of liberality or public spirit, then our information is precisely wrong. Meredith has favorably

Rut this is none of our business, still, we repeat, were we iu the right District we should go heart and soul for Meredith as the man' pre-eminently entitled to the nomination heaks.' From the W abash -E x press. Gen. Meredith vs. G. W. Julian. Gen. Meredith, is a candidate forCongress in the 5th "district, subject to the decision oi the t'nion nomination. No man in the State is better en titled to preferment than himself, and the majority of the voter of that District seem determined to make his success certain. His nomination, however, is opposed by Hon. Uborgb W. Jim-Ian and his edmirer,end every effort will be made by Hu m, both fair and unfair, to defeat the IJeueral and insure the return to Congress of the present Representative. While it is not our desire to mingle in Uie discussion of the merits cf candidates for Congress in other parts of the State, yet instances of this character, the people in all . localities are interested in seeing honor conferred upon those, w hose deeds have entiUed them to its rewards. The characteristics of tlie two men are essentially different, ami represent at once their resfiective value. Mr. Ji lias is a man of far more than ordinary talent in the line ol politics, as almost every body who knows him w ill readily admit. Vet Ids talents are combined with such other qualities as to render him almost useless as a public man. In Congress he fs liked only by a lew, and his influence is cot regarded as of any value to any body. On public questions of high importance, his vote is onlv counted, while bis personal weight is wholly ignored. His arguments in favor Of any measure, are regarded as so much against it, and the friends of a policy always prefer hi silence, to hia openly expressed friendship, la social intercourse lie is cold, selfish and illiuoral. He has never expended a dollar in his own li.strtct for the advancement of it interest iu any way that did not add directly or indirectly to his own purposes. He has given no money or influence to anv public improvement, at any timet but has been wholly absorbed with schemes to secure his own elevation to power. Since the present war commenced, Mr. JrLUNhas made it his business to find fault with President Lincoln, and all Uie leading measures of his Administration; and his opposition has at last culminated in favoring the nomination of lr. Ch abb for the Presidency, and that his efforts in this direction might be of more force, he consented to become one of tlie l'omeroy National Kxeeutive Committee, whiru Committee issued the l'omeroy Circular in behalf of Mr. Chase. He has been as much at war with the Administration, as have the most ultra butternut k-adcrs. But not withstanding bis faults in these respects, were the contest between himself and a member of the opposition there would be no hesitation on the part of anr t'nion man as to which to support. Itut when Uie contest is like tlie present one between hin.self and General Mkkemth, the people will likely clioase in favor of Uie latter. Mr. Julian has addod milling to the war strength of the Nation, nor has any of his family done so. They have contented themselves with remaining at a safe distance from the enemy, and finding fault with tWe who have been charged' with 'e feat responsibilities f meeting the shock of battie for the inU-trritv of tlie L'nion. Oen. Mkredttr haa uot only periled his own life in this struggle, tint two of his sons hare periled their lives also, while one of them lost his life by disease contracted while in the Fetleral service. The General himself has been in Uie army since the first call for troops for the tluve months service, and during this time, has participated in all the hard fought battles of the army of the Potomac, and was, at the battles of Uttylmrar dangerously wounded, from the etlucta of whicb lie is forever rendered unfit for active duty in the nell. Ha sacrifk-cd the interests of homj and family at a time when such a sacrifice could least lie made, and from that hour to tins, has devoted his energies to the cause of his country. He has never faltered in front of the tie, nor has fie, or the foree he commanded, ever hesitated to m-et the shock of battle a ith a gallantry and prowess which shed additional lustre on Uie 'leral arms. In civil life be has been tried and found true and steadfast, and on the sternly contested fields of the present war lie has exemplified the noblest ehanwterUtics of the soldier patrtiot. He now raUtras from the field in the prim? of life, but not in the priiui of bealUi: for he returns scarrei and wounded Mvin the fields whose soil beneath bis feet were drenched to a mira by the liest blood of Northern freem-jn. , .Ho lias proved himself to be a skillful officer, and a brave and generous man. . ' In civil life he has been liberal ia the better sense of the word, and has given vast sums of money, with much labor and time, to public improvements, end to iaMru ' th?, ,Ur- ',ut throughout many years of civil Lfe, Mr. Jilia has di-gged hi fooUtep with a malignity which one of his nature can ajone exhibit; while in military Ufa, be aad hia orean have pursued him with nendisb xualice. Tttey have soutrht to ignore his service as a soldier, and to discredit the fact of his having suffered from wounds received in batUe, or by disease contracted while ia the service of his country. In other words, Uie malice, prejudice and jealousy of the politician, have assaulted the scarred veteran, with vindictive vrtnperation, for political purposes alone. The one is a steadfast friend; a brave and generous man ; while Uie other is a acbemuigand revengeful politician, devoid of the highest order of patriotism and manlwiod. On Utese considerations Uie peopie of Uie 5th District will chose one or Uie other to represent them again in Congress. Gratitude to the true soldier and generous citixeu will prompt them ha the right election, It would be hard indeed to turn away Uie wounded aoklier, to honor the seheming politician, and with nor knowledge of Uie people of that IHstrict, we believe they will consign tlie latter to merited oblivion, while tliey exalt Uie former, in gratitude to him for hia heroic devotion to the flag of his country in the dark boor of it trial, and a a merited reward for hi proweas while in conflict with the enemy on more than a dozen hard fiMtgbt field. : . - - . We clip the following from the Cincinnati Commercial of March 8, the editor of which says : There is a lively time at hand in the Fifth Congressional District of Indiana, famous as the Burnt District of the State. The people are tremendously anti-slavery, and fixed in the faith that the cause of the rebellion mast be abolished. The Representative in Congress of this district is the Hon. G tones W. Jitjait, whose principles, we presume, are not a particle too highly colored for his con- 1 stJtnents, but whose practical ability is qnestioned by a good many of thera. The custom of the Republican is to nominate their candidates for Congress by popular vote of the party, and a nomination is equivalent to an election. Thede . cision is to be made on the first Monday of April, and Mr. Jcuas finds a formidable competitor for the favor" of the

people, ia thetprton of Brigadifr. General MBKKr.tr if, who waa always a p&polar man in the district. "and wuose military career has) given him a great prestige. General Mkkcmth has been more'7 than two years in the . army, ha, been twice wounded, aad haa loot Li health, so that ne is not able tocentintife iu the military service. Therefore he would not serioualy object to being taken up by the people and sent to Congress, t i ,,

Wir in the Fifth District. The Julian and anti Julian men are having a very interesting time of it in the 5th Congressional District, as to who shall be their next Representative in Congress. There is a strong and growing party urging the claims of Gen. Sol. Meredith for the position, and probably those of the Julian stripe will not hare things their own way much longer. " v i G. W. Julian, the present Representative from that District in Congress, is a very able man, but the indications are that he will have to give way for' "Old Wayne's War Horse." At a Convention held at Centerrills, on the 13th ult, the Julian men undertook to. get through a resolution endorsing their leader, but failed. The worst feature that is noticeable in their action was. Another Proposed Reward.

A the Doctor furnished hi reader with our friend , Milton's very huum article about "Old Wayne" furnishing so eminent a " biographer and historian," a it denomenate us, we think it but fair that the should be enlighted, a to the additional honor Parson llrownlow propose to confer on a distinguished citizea of "Old Randolph," and w therefore bop that tlie Joral ill U-t them "see it :" . r X"'The "pious" editor of the - Winchester, Indiana Journal, J. Beverly, says that he has seen a copy of Parson lirownlow's paper, aud that he thuks it so profane and vulgar as not to be fit to introduce into the family circle. Indiana is a great State, and has sent her thousands of brave and gallant regiments into the Union army. But the Copptrheade of Indiana are a meaner, baser and more detestable set of traitors, than those of Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, or any of the North-western States. They are even more corrupt, and more villainous than even the Secessionists of South Carolina, Georgia or Alabama. The "pious" Scallowag of the Winchester Journal, ought to have a commission Asdog-pelter in the rebel army, and than turn upon the Copperheads of Indiana, and distinguish himself by services rendered in the field.'
