CHARLES II. BCRCIIESAL, j Chairman Central Committee. ; Enthusiastio War Meeting at Indianapolis. ' ONE HUNDRED DAYS' MEN! Gov. Morton's Reasons for the Call On Saturday night last, at the Masonic ITall, in Indianapolis, one of the moat earnest and enthusiastic war meetings, was held, that ever conTencd in that City. Got. Morton, jrare the reasons for tbe call of the 100 Iays Men, and we take the followni synopsis of his speech flom the Jumnl. ' Uorernor Morton addressed the meeting in one of the ablest and most earnest speeches we hare erer heard him deliver. No report that we could make would present any correct idea of its telling character and convincing power. Commencing with an account of hia visit to Washington in company with the Ooreners of the Northwest, their tender of or troops to the President for 190 days, tlx manner in which the offer was received by the President and Secretary of War, be proceeded to set forth in order the principal reasons which had induced the otft-r, aud why it should be carried out, in a manner so clear, logical and convincing that no man who heart him could entertain a single doubt of its propriety and wisdom, lie depicted the terrible coniUtion our e mniry woo'd be in if the ' war is not successful this year in breaking down the the rebellion. He reviewed the objections that are ryed againat the measure by peace men in our midst. They oppose the call more because it is only for one hundred days, and they know that at (he end of that,', time these men a ill enme back trained soldiers, and T defeat the conspiracy they are hoping to develop by . fall. Be noticed the attacks that had been made upon t him and the proposed measures br the Sentinel, j Cincinnati Enquirer. c., showing they were ia sympath V with the rebels, and against every measnre calculated to restore tbe country by conquering the rebellion. The cVotfnetLad said be was assuming and j attempting to exercise authority that the people would j not toierate. tnc uorernor sata ne Bad never exercised hia authority in regard to the Sentinel except to protect it when men whom it bad calumniated would bare torn down its establishment, and it now .ows its existences that protection. , ; He rod not protect it because be re pec ted its managers, mt because it was his duty as a public officer and as citizen. He was willifur to believe that there wars gaod aud honest men among the masses of tbe Democratic party; it is their leaders who stand in the j way of R true peace. In reference to the results to be obtained by the ad ditional strength that the SJ.QOO hundred day men would give tbe army, be said it would enable at least W,00 v.. teraa soliders an go to the 6eld, and probably end tN war this campaign. He thoagbt Grant would be easMx! to crush Lee's army, and with the fall of Rich mood be Southern Confederacy would rollapee. If we fail in tiu-sa! w have gamed may be lost, If the war is protones. till next year,cosBdenr wiU fail and with the loos oi V'-ulic eonfi.lence down will go our iaaaeial system Ha was forced to believe that there was a large part. o want the ol k. f.,L Th- r,i ; rer, tnlnT, TJ" f uZ?L ""iir j rth toi Tbe .a, " , PnrTM,t 'U ' ThewmM roo-a-dvmr.

This 20,009, if raised, wilt be an effectual reserve to check such a conspiracy, and if it ican3 necessary would torn upon thise traitors. X je ropjjeTbeaJ schema of a Northwestern Confederacy U not abandoned. They know that a pce with the Vrebela is an acknowledgement of the independence of m Southern Cjnfedrrcv, and then it wilt be easv to detach tlw Northwest from the East. He closed by appealilg to all, tie yonng, tie mii lie aged, all wmi e-uld possibly leave home and business, to coma fwrwar and aid iii this last struggle for national honor and individual security and prosperity. The next one hundred days will be the m ist eventful and memorable in the history of the war, add those who are the actors in ddvur will be heroes hereafter.

A. rgejTluowe-,l wito atiort, parwitui. n-.i aoie speeju full of telling sarcasm, convincing argument and eloquent appeal, which was well receive!. The One Hundred Days Men. The Washington special dispatches of the Cincinnati Gazette of yesterday say, in regard to the call for the "one hundred days" men : There is a general feeling, however. Against raising troops for eo short a time, and most want them held or at least six months. Gov. IJrough urgently proposed offering them for six mouths, but some of the other Governors objected, lie then urged four months, to which all the Governors except Morton assented. Governor Morton objected, on the ground that it might take men out of the Stte who were needed to sustain the Government in the home elections. Finally it was agreed to stiotch the time of service a little bevond the three months troI posed, and make it one hundred days. J The Cincinnati Gazette has been too steadily the friend of Gov. Morton, to I allow us to think for a moment that the above statement was intended to injure him ; j et it in evident that, if it be le- , lieved, it must create the impression that j he was willing to weigh purely partisan considerations against the necessities of the nation. Io paper will be more prompt than the Gazette to disavow the intention of such an imputation, and to give it the opportunity and means of doing so without yielding truth to courtesy, we make the following statement tf facts : The term of three months was agreed on' by Governors Erough, Yates and Morton at their council in this city, and the tender of the troops was uidjife by them in that way to the War Department .

The y the Prefi lent to Gove ana tnose wno acconi- , and which were entirely satisHodges reduced to writing. We publish the President's letter below, simply remarking that it is manly, dignified, clear, and so explicit as not to be capable of misconstruction. Executive Massiox, ) Washington, April 4, 18rJ4 f A. G. Il'jdjes, Esp, Frankfort Kentucky: Mr Dzar Sir You asked me to put in writing the substance of what I verbally said, the other day in your presence, to Governor Bramlette and Senator Dixon. It was about as follows: 'I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I can not remember when I did not so think and feel. And yet, I have never understood that the' Presidency conferred upon an unrestricted right to act officially upon this Audgme'nt and fcclAg. It was v in the oath. I took, that I would to the best of my abilitj", preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. I could not take the oflice without taking the oath. 2for was it my view, that I might take an oath to get power, and break the oath, in using the power. I understood, too, that in ordinar' civil administration, this oath even forbade me to practically indulge in primary, abstract judgment on the moral question of slavery: I had publicly declared this many times, and in many ways. Aad I aver that, to this daj i have done no official act in mere deference to my abstract judgment and feeling on slavery. "I did understand, however, that my oath to preserve the Constitution to the best of my ability, imposed upon me the duty of preserving, y every indispensible means, that Government that Nation, of which that Constitution was the organic law. Was it possible to lose the Natioii, and yet preserve the Constitution? "By general law, life and limb must be protected; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful, by becoming indespensible to the preservation of the Constitution, through the preservation of the Nation. Right or wrong I assumed this ground, and now avow it. I could not feel, that to the best of my ability I had even tried to preserve the Constitution, if, to save slavery, or any minor matter, I should permit the wreck of Government, Country i and Constitutiouv altogether. When, early in the war, Gen. Fremont attempted military emancipation, I forbade it because I did not then think it was an indespensible necessity. When, a little later. General Cameron, then Secretary I did not vet thinii trie imusituiuw necessitv had come. "When, in March, and May, nud July, ' .... . r - : 1 1 pensaiei e mancipation, l believed the indispensable necessity for military emancipation, and arming the blacks 1 would come, unless averted by that 1 measure. Thev declined the rvm-.rsit ion- : and I was, in my host judpruie-nt, driven - I L ' " - ' to uie alternative, of cither surremlerina-' the Union, and with it the Constitution" ! or of hij inr a strong hand upoa the col- i orcd clement. I chose the latter. Ini choosing it, I hoped for greater gnin than j loss; but of this I was not entirclv confident. More than a year of trial now ' shows no loss by it, in our foreign re-! lation ; none in our home po.mlar'sentirnent; none in our white military force j no 1 ss Ivy it, any how, or any where, i On the contrary, it shows a gaiii of quite a hundred and thirty thousand soldiers, j sertmcn and laborers. These are palpable facts, about which, as facts, there can be ; no caviling. We have the men. and we could no!, have had them without the i measure. j 'And now, let any Union man, who ' complains of the measure, test himself, by writing down in one line, that he is for subduing the rebellion by force of arms and in the next, that he is for takiuo-' these hundred and thirty thousand men from the Union side, and placing them ' where they would be. but for the he condemns. If he can not face his ' cause so stated, it is onlv because he can not face the truth. " i "I add a word, which was not in the ! verbal conversation. In tellino- this ' I attempt no compliment to iuv own sagacity. I claim not to have rWrrnllwi events, but confess plaiulv that event I have controlled me. .Now at the end off thr-.-e years' struggle, the Nation's con- ; dition is not what either party oranvman devised or expected God alone can claim it. Whither it is tending seems ? plain. If God now wills the removal of a great wrong, and wills also that w of ' the North, as well as you of the Socth, I shall pay fairly for our complicitr, in that ! wrong, impartial" history will find there- ! in new causes to attest, and revere the justice and goodness of God. 1 ours trnlr.

Oarretson, commnding, was selected from the 6Sth. The intervening time was closely occupied in training for the coming contest. The drill came off, a large crowd was assembled. Gen.'s McLernand, Warren, Lawler. and their respective staff officers were present. The day was not a. nice as could have been wislied for, but tbe drilling was -,.wll and broueht forth rounds of applause from the enthusiastic crowd.

This is as it should be. Capt. Garretson is one of the finest officers in the 13th Corps, and knows hia business upon all points in Infantry tactics, aud even to naming m - Oi boat." As a company officer, be is excelled by none. and should a irer leaf or " spread eagle " chance to light upon his shoulders, it would Jbe an act of just ice, merited by none more than be. I should not forget to mintion Lieut. Messick, of Co. A, in connection with this affair, who is a splendid officer ; and assisted the Captain very materially in bis arduous duties, and is entiled to great credit. Tbe health of the Regiment is tolerably good. There are a few cases of ague, but all are able for light duty, and consequently we bare no men in the Hospital. There are some few caaes of small pox reported on the Island, but none in the 69th. We held an election in the Regiment on the first Monday in April. There were but few votes cast and the excitement run very low. Political matters and political men are below par in the army; or at least in the 69th. We have other fish to fry just row, and no time to spend in discussing politics, and.reading confidential political letters. When we have effectually crushed and wiped out the last armed traitor in the south and peace and tranquility is again restored to our distracted country, we are then coming home to cut and carve miscellaneously and promescRously among tbe slim shanked Stay-at-hom politicians, who hare not the sand in their gizzards to face a few minnie balls in delenee of the country they make such great pretentions of Icrwg so very dearly.

I am very certain that if I was affrcted :n that violent manner I should immediately seize and possess myself of cerUin extracts from Artemus Ward, especie!ly,one which speaks of "sen ling hi wife's eousinto the war ratlier than that the rebellion should not be put down." I would get these a--.d wander alone beside some little brook whose rippling waters' should keep pice with my melancholy feelings, in regard to my near rjlatives, an-l there with none to hinlcr, "I'd read just as much as I wanted to.'
