It is useless to review, the. cause f this state f feeling, to dctcnuie ,tUe course all true patriot should pursue. The friends ' of the LTnion and of freedom have but one d)jeet .in. view, and that is the maiutcuatu'e of lac government the preservation, of the Union the triumph of freedom. To -soure tlus object every true man will make ewry other contdJeration subservient tliereto. He will ive up hi. property, and if necessary oirer hialrCo, in the chances of war, as a pacrifi.ee, to sare h country. I trust I zoay no.t be an cnthusi,;!!t in this matter 4 beyond ail.itUcr true men, when I say ! that the highest duty cf every American citizen under Almighty God, is to a'd j the government, by every means in Lis power, i iUplotious struggle to main-1 tain iU institutions, of freedom. This! waris Bot-for lh-UiYt of ourselves alone, but for our children for all time to k ccme. ?otrortireclttrnsor theUniteilj Statea.at the present time, or In the future; bat for the friectU of freedom throughout the world, aad through all coming time. ' - . : This 1s the great loon' for which our government and our loyal people are struggling, v laitht that mere personal prejudices, however well founded, should in the rfiglrtert degree iaterfere with Uie ... ...... accotuplialuncolof tla high object. ill tho good people of tho Sttt Congressional District in Indiana, the I tanner district of "the State in it majorities cm the side of loyalty and devotion to the cause oft freedom, pe8iU.th pUy squabbles about j men, to defeat the consummation of this etTort in behalf nf which the. North is so liberally spend iug its treasure and pouring out ita bravew Llood. While so

many o oar citizens have fallen upon the battle-field, and so many more are now perilling their lives, eaxmot we sacrifice our pcrson.il preference as to who shall be a member of Congress, for the pur

pose of securing that harmony whic h is j necessary to our success. The man who will not make such sacrifice, cither does not appreciate the holy cause iu which our government is engaged, or is indif- ' fcrent to the result This is my standard of duty. In the contest for the nomination for Congress I felt a deep interest. One of thecandi- .( dates has been my warm personal friend j for thirty-live years- I have been asi wrir'i at fwl irt f li li tn ,u.Iii . . . 1 : . . I j - " c&un J'l i , tilt: ( life in legislation and in public enter- j prises; in educational aud agricultural j ! improvements ; in all eflorts for the good j of the country, and I have ever, and unler all circumstances found him true to , the best interest of the country : true to ,i9 constituents : true to hia friends, nnrt . . , . . , . true to himself. I have known evet v act ... . J of his military life. I have heard his proiSC from those who have served under hirn, and those who were high in rank above him, have seen the tear of gratitude, and admiration, and confidence, and sympathy glisten upon the cheek of many a brave soldier under his command. I have watched beside him when he was brought from the battle-field, worn down and faint, and wounded. I have known him as the brave, courageous commander on thirty battle fields, .where ho had perilled his life iu defence of that which is the dt-areptobjetof every loyal man's heart. Is it Btrac Jhen that I should have been solicitous for the .success of so brave and so good a man ? I believed then, and I believe now, a debt of gratitude is due to Gen. Meredith for his long public services in civil life, and eminently bo, for his services in the fielij. With him and his coiuwtitor I have no desire to make a com pari son. admire the one and despise the oilier. At pres ent this is sutlicient. . A united action is required in this I great strnggle for the supremacy of the j government. Without this, our own j State, may become the battle Held of loyaJ men and traitors. This war is to continue for many j tars- until the government shall subjugte the rebels, North and South. The traitors are not confined to one locality. They are in our "own State, and district. They have no dissensions amog theua. They are organ ized as a tarty were ncycr organized there before. A sert oatb-tk&und military organization bau the nam .of every traitor in the Stat en roiled on iis mu.r rolls. They have arms at their co4ui aiid, and should they l.u.resf;il in tlui coming State election, and he arui of the general government become paralizcd thereby, tltey will witii a fiendish vengeju. triumph over the friends of the constitution sind the g.overiw.ijt. I believe I soaU but the truth when I eay that such an orgaujzatiou exists in every township in the State, and that they will use it by every means in their power to secure the defeat of our State ticket. Men will ls threatened and intimidated and driven frtn the poll, lialiot boxes will WetutTed with tialiota oy the handfull. Thote is no means bo vile and infamous that they will not resort to, to carry the nest election iu our State. The loyal men must prepared for this state of affairs. How shall they tie prepared ? Ry a union of all truly loyal Union men. By having no dissensions. Now is the time to commence the rork. This is a long prelude to what I have to say in reply to the import of yjur tote. Let a fair and impartial canvass be had of -all things connected pith tbe iaie cji:itest for a candidate for congress. Take the resolutions and proceedings of each county in the district, tf h an earnest desire for harmony let an impartial and t honorable adjustment be mad. J un derstand that Wayne county determined to express her preference as to who should be the candidate, aad that the committee on resolutions rejected a proposition to be governed by a popular aggregate majority in the district. What was th e action in other counties J am notadvised but if a majority of them,, declared their I action to be simply aa .expression on j the part of the county, there can be i nothing unfair in haviug a consultation, by which each countj shajl Uxve its due weight, according to Unv&n votes, in determining the question. There is no necessity for hot haste in this matter t,ut caim counsel should prevail, and should have for its object harmony and gooj faith. The friends' of eithes party have a riirht to their oersonal preferences: 1 but those of neither party h hut those of neither nartv have the ri-ht to jeopardize greater interests by theindul . gence of those preferences. Tbe times. the fearful war in whk h we are involved I " - - - - uemand sacrifices at th La&s f every true patriot aud lover of his .couctnr. I am willing to make then, as fr.r Is e - I would ask others to do it. , j , a aavise mat course or poncy woicn i shall be decided nvo-t etfeetive in sustain- , in the governuieat in iu efforts to put down the rebellion, and re est.-.blish the J government upon the broai.1 basis which j was laid by the fathers. The corner stone of that foundation, was and U 'that all men are boru free and equal," and however unworthily the superstruc ture may have tnrtn carried up., J thank God, that ia His wisdom, the very men who have perverted the foundation have been the means of tearing dn their , T . . own unholy svorks, ana that hereafter

the "Teat fundamental truth of universal freedom snail be found in txenr ?tone ot of the proudest moBument the world has ever known. - This letter is written without much reference to the state of affairs in our district. " 1 do ot know Uow things stand there, and can only say that justice , ought to be done to the two aspirants and to their friemls; and that every thing ofj a personal nature should be sacrificed to j the great and paramount public good. I have no personal feeilings which I will not lay down on the altar of my country. ' No malice no personal vituperation, can induce me to depart from any duty tg !

Our exchanges from Keutticky are ' filled with accounts of the depredations t of guerrillas. It is hazardous for an unarmed steamer to attempt a landing on the Kentucky side of the Ohio river below , Louisville, and all trade with that section has been prohibited. A party of guerril- : Ins took possesion of Hrandinbiirg on ! Tuesday of last week, and now hold it. They are supposed to be a part of Jesse's force. On the samo day a small party , attacked the 9tage, nine miles from liar- ; rodsbnrg, nd robbed the passenger?, : consistiug of twenty-five ladies and sentlemcn, of watches jewelry, money and other valuables, and after exchanging ; their worn out nags for the stage horses, j went oir in search of other plunder. During the same day. also. Lieutenautj. Governor Jacobs made a speech at Iiurksville, and after the crowd had dis- i persed and the Governor had left, a gang of guerrilas dashed into town fur the pur- ; pose of capturing him, a little to late to accomplish their object. Iu fact, tlie eutire border is swarming with this lawless horde, made up in great part of Fed- ! eral conscripts who prefer bushwhacking for the Confederacy to service in the ! armies of the Union. A raid was icitdc into Dalton on Saturday week by some ' of Wheeler's men, who captured and burned ft forage train, killing a lireinan a-nd cutting his body to pieces with t!nir : sabers. They also wounded the engineer ' and carried away with them the couduc- ! tor. The road was left uninjured, and the trains run as usual. A man named 15ml Jenkins, of 15ath " county, Kentucky, was arrested in Covington on Tuesday evening, by a Govern- , incut detective, ou suspicion that he was of the parties engaged in the mob at " Charleston, Illinois, on the 2iUh of March : last, in which Maj. York, of the 54th Illi- . nois infantry, aud four soldiers were killed. He is in custody of the military . authorities. Indianapolis, June 20. Governor Morton has addressed a memorial to Congress relative to recruits enlisted into old 1 regiments and batteries prior to l!t)o, i with the understanding that they were to serve only for the unexpired term of the organization to which they were attached, j aad who are now held for the full term Jof three years. The question has heretifre been submitted to the War De- ; pnrtimsut, but relief could not be granted; j owi.isj to the form of enlistment.

The Seuat on the L'Tfh passed the Pacific Railroad bill, adding a few, amendments to the bill as parsed by the House. It has therefore, to go back to the latter body. ; " The Senate als-j concurred by a large majority in the House substitute for the bill fixing th site of the Western

Navy Yard at Cairo, notwithstanding a"! report adverse to the sunstittitc was made from the Naval Committee by Mr. Hale. The substitute appoints a Commission to select the location.

GsYEttAL "Raldv" Smith is a Massachusetts man, and arrndsate of W5t Point. During the Mexican war he was a captain in the regular army, and was noted for his dash and bravery. From some cause or other he lost most of the hair from his head when j'oung, and, therefore, obtained the sobriquet of bldy,'" which has clung to him to the present. Col. Peter A. Porter, son of Gen.

He pays a high compliment to the patriotism aud kindly feeling which prompted the 43d Indiana to go to Ken tuekey's assistance before visiting their own families. He says, '-the appearance of Vallandigham in Ohio simultaneously with Morgan's raid in Kentucky, fully coalirms the matter of complicity of which he had been advised. The defeat of Morgan has frustrated their movemeni .for the present, but vigilance for the future must still guard us against the3c machinatiouv of evil doers." Gen. Carrington at Indianapolis, explains the status of the Confederate ollicers in custody about the treatmht of whom their has been bitter complaint, die says they are not to be considered or treated as prisoners of war, having ben arrested while conveying Gen. Ilobsou the Bankrupt Bill in the House, and it was defeated G4 to 05. A Washington correspondent says the official records of the military authorities show that upwards of one hundred and fifty female recruits have been discovered and made to resume the garments of their sex. It is supposed that nearly all of these were in collusion witli men who were examined by the surgeons and accepted, after which the fair ones substituted themselves and came on to to the war. A Tkircne correspondent says of the Army of the Potomac : "Actual marching has worn out oO.OoO pairs of shoes. Two thirds of the men more than 10"UOO have not changed a garment since they started : have marched and fought, and slept thirty days and thirty nights in heat and dut and rain, and have not changed a garment. They aro fighting it out on this line.'' Advices from General Sherman's army are down to Thursday the 23d lust.. The rebels still occupied Kenesaw Mountain, but they were being closely pressed, and our very latest advises are they would fight no general battle north of tha Chattahoochee. It was the impression that a portion of Johnson's army was already across that river. It will be observed that every position taken was firmly held, and while we advanced steadily, there was no backward step, Johnston stubbornly contests the road to Marietta. His works prove very strong; this stublornness. therefore, is easily accounted for; for if he is unlblc, with the great advantage of his position, to keep back Sherman's arrrvy, it is plain enough that he stands no chance when the key to his position is lost, end the contest is transferred from the mountainous to a comparatively level country. The weather continues very much unsettled. Our troops were abundantly supplied with ordinarj- rations, but were much in need of vegetables. The country in which we are operating is a poor one, and gardens are rare; but so far as these are found they are s peed 3y cleared of vegitables. Soldiers would face a rebel battery to get into an onion patch. The size of the rebel torpedoes are startling. The one which blew up the Commodore Jones, it was stated by a rebel prisoner, contained l,7tM) pounds of powder! One had been fished up which was emptied of 1,950 pounds! A pscclak kind of worm, small but very destructive, is making havoc with the fruit and shade trees in New Haven. Canker worms and caterpillars are unusually abundant and destructive throughout Connecticut, VrTALiTT of Tntxip Seed The London Jgrictdturul Gazette says: "After extensive experiments, we can declare, a their result, that turnip seed of.onc year old will only germinate about 50 per cent. ; two years old 30 per cent. 3 years old 15 per cent. ; 4 3' ears old 5 per cent-;" This is important if true : for there is scarcely any variety of seed saved so long and so generally as a turnip seed.

V Relief for Stek and Wounded Soldiers. ; - ' : ,.i i To tit People tf : j The demands upon the Indiana State ! Sanitary Commission for money and

supplied for -the relief of our sick an J wounded soldiers, have of late greatly increased, owinsr to the recent important and 4loo iy battles 'in Georgia and Yir- ; giuio-.,. The work performed by the Commission, through its effleient and self; sacrificing agents who are constantly i visiting the h spitals and battle fields, ; has been of th greatest benefit to our j cause,aadthe relief thus afforded to our : brave aud sufTeriug soldiers is creditable ! to humanity and the enlightened age in which we live. But the commission j cannot carry forward the great work they j have undertaken without iueans. aud I know that the patriotic aud loyal people ! of Indiana need only to learn that assis-' tance is required, aud that their coutri- I butions will be faithfully applied, to iu- j snre a prompt and liberal response. j Our soldiers, who have leeu stricken down by battle and disease, are entitled to eTery care and all the relief that kindness humanity can suggest. I therefore appeal to the good people of the State to unite in n systematic effort on (or before) the fourth lhtv of July next, in t tueir respective cities, towns ana neisrn- j borhoods, to procure fundi and supplies, j and that the same be sent as soon as i practicable, by Express, to William Han j uamau, Esq., President of Indiana Sani- I tnry Commission, at this pla, who will ! promptly acknowledge the receipt of the j same. I The supplies most needed are unJer- j clothing, bandages, lint, towels, thetts, pillows, j j'illow slips, drif.d and canned Jruits. Vege- j tables and other articles of diet need not I . . . ... . i be sent, as there cau be purchased more j advantageously by tue tomuiKSioii. i O. P. Mokton, ! Governor of Indiana, i Indianapolis, June 22d, LSG4. Forney's Last Interview with John C. j Breckeinridge. I shall never forget my last interview ; with John C. Breckeinridge. It was o'i . the evening of the Gth of August, 1M1, being the last day of the memorable i called session which was assembled on j the th day of July of that year, by i Presidential proclnmatiou. Widely as we I hadditfered, our persoual relations were unchanged. He kuew how sinceerly j $jrieved I was when, as early as lS.'iG, he I iiUwed Mr. Buchanan and the extreme South to force him into the support of j I.eottmpton. and how reluctantly, iu the ' black and bitter years that succeeded, ; I felt constrained to denounce him. Ii; the called session he had led the oppo- j sition to Mr. Lincoln with vehement. to he surprised, as he said: "What do you mean r I will undoubtedly return to my post in December." "No, my dear sir, you will follow your doctrine into the Confederate army ; you will go there to show that you are with the enemies of your country." To which he answered. and when he spoke the words I think he I was honest: "If I go over the liues it j will be to bring back with me my runaway son, Cabell, who has gone iuto the other j army wholly against my will; but we j shall meet, if we live, in the winter." "I j wisli it eouhl tie so, tny trien l, was my reply ; "but still I feel that your good-bye will be a long farewell." And this was the last of John C. Breckenridge. His oath to support the Constitution of the United States, like Hester Prynne's scarlet letter, burns an eternal reproach on the record of the Senator. His sword is with slavery and rebellion. Vallandigham. When the great Vai.lankigha.m burst upon the astonished world the other day at the village of Hamilton, he evidently expected his presence and speech would produce a degree of sensation hitherto unknown on bgloe exdept, perhaps, in trie annals the of earthquakes. Ample preparation had been made lor the event, not only by the great A po-tie of Peace himself, but the faithful of the fold, it appears, were i properly notified, and were in waiting with bated breath to hear the wreck of j matter and things begin. But the inert i and stolid wrld, insensible of it, still ! went around as if nothing had hapene 1. J Jlistory mentions but a single parallel, i that w remember, of the disappointment j of reasonable hopes occasioned by the j unwise Jaw of gravitation and accoustics j and we repeat it for the benefit of the aflicted : j Once on a time a notion was started I that if all the people in the world would , shout at oaee, it might be heard at the j moon.

-Soldier' A private, Butler county boy, now in cavalry service, write to a friend from Little Rock, Arkansas, under date of May '2 1st. A few extracts will we hope interest those who lov to hear from a true man and a good Soldier, ik "On the 23d of'Mareh, with half rstlncs for 2 days, we left onr quarter.""' la 42 days we marched 500 milen, had a tight, or a skirmish thirty-five times. We swam river, waded swamps, traveled niirhts in the rain, and slept without blankets. We whipped and drove the enemy before us every time. The last two days of our march was through rain and mud without anything to eat. Even then we were as ready to lisrht as to eat. You see we just got our hands in at fightiug, and our jaws out of practice at eating, so you may know that I have seen the elephant lie has mauy deformities and serious defects, aud oitea yon can not distinguish his trunk from his tail ; that is, whfeii you cannot tell which cud is toward you ; iu other words, many of the rebels wear our uniform, and pretend to be friends till they get us in their power, or they get out of ours. We hail two negro regiments with us. 1st and 2d r i . l Kansas. I will tell you a little about them. The 1st was out protecting a forage train near Camden. They were attacked and 'surrounded by a superior force. They fought bravely for four hours, slaughtering the rebels fearfully; nnd when their amunition failed, they fixed bayonets and forked their way through the enemy, and oame otF leaving one hundred and twenty of their number dead, or mortally wounded. The rebels murdered all the prisoners whom they took. At Saline river we had a hard i'mht, here the 2d Kansas (colored) regi ment went under tire for the first time. They went in like veterans ; they charged and captured three pieces of artillery, which they hauled otr by baud, having killed all the men and horses belonging to thorn. They drove thvenemy as was desired by commanding ollicer, and when they were ordered to halt their blood w as tip so high, and they were so eager to pursue, that it was necessary to run a white regiment in front of them and get them off the field. These facts will settle, the question that negroes will tight. Wc are glad of it, and glad of their help in chrushing this wicked and infernal rebellion. I remain your friend W. J." Battle of Chicamauga. The following thrilling incident of the battle of Friday last, is told by a correspondent of the New York Times: 1 am about to narrate an incident our Hue retained all day a position with in fifteen ya-ds of the rebel works. This heroic band was the brigade of C"1. McKean, a brigade of Gibbon's division of Hancock's corps, and numbering about eight hundred men. The conduct of this eight hundred is as splendid a stroke of heroism as eve lit up the story of "the glory wo call Greece and grandeur we cail liome." Through the livelong day these men held their line, within fifteen j ar Is of the enemy, and all his force could not dislodge them. Repeatedly, during tho da', the rebels formed double columns of attack to come over the work and assail them, and tlie officers could be heard encouraging their troops by telling t)ren, "there are only four or five hundred of them come on." But the moment the rebels showed themselves above their parapet a line of fire flashed out from behind the earthen mound where thoe eight hundred hero stood in a. -new Thermopyl.v, and many a rebel threw up his arms and fell prone under their swift avenging bullets. The sequel of this bit of history is as curious as the deed itself for while the rebels dared not venture out to assail McKean's men, neither could he nor his command recede from the perilous position, lie could not get back to us we could not go forward to him. In this dilemma the ingenious device was hit upon of running a "sap," or zig-zag trench, up from onr line to his. In this way a working party were able to tlig their way up to where they lay, begrimed with powder and worn down with fatigue, and a few hours ago they were brought safely away "all that was left of them, left of eight hundred!"' But MeKean; their gallant leader, he came not away alive. Since eleven in the morning lie had lain behind the bulwark, his valor defended a corpse. While standing up preparing to resist a reld assault, he fell, pierced by the bullet of a sharpshooter, and after living an hour or two in an agonizing death-in-life, beggin? his stalf officer to put an end to his misery, his heroic soul forsook the turmoil of this weary warring w orld.
