This train will remain until aftr the Fire Works, if desired. OinorKnuiiutioii.- We alwat .1 Aulas if we owed a apology tu uiir loaders, whenever we harsoccaaion Iu allmlo to Mr. G. f.

They will, we are utmost sure, indulge us in a brief article in his drrm-f, which will be sometMn? new and unlocked for from ns. We nw-d nt prr-mi.-e that we are somewhat given to apenklng that whh-h we think, and we dWire to lire np t onr molto: "le just;" therefore is H that we now defend Mr. Julian against an attack front our old friend Oriicn, of the t'oniiersville Times. We are rnaily sorrr that fan editor of the Times should be lahoriaff enier a misapprehension, regard, iiig the rercnt rrmotriw-nt of the "master of tlio situation" hi this Congressional listriet. He no doubt honestly thinks that Mr. Julian in, by his course, disorganising the t'nioo party in fact, he has the temerity to aay so in his apr. Iu this he evilently is mistaken; tor Mr. Julun is morel engaged in organising it ou a plan exclusively his own, in order to make it more efficient more in accordance with his uwwk plans. Can you not m:e, Hro. tireen, the immense sdvantage tiiatwill necessarily accrue to the In ion party, of having all the Federal officers in the District the devoted and sworn friends of Mr. Julian; who are always ready and w illing to du his bidding - acting in concert, and as a unit T The fact i, the I'nion part was never before more thoroughly orji-ized for the revenue officers, anil P.

Vou evidently do not understand tlte pruprr mode of keeping np a thorough organisation of the I'm- n party of this District, Mr. ed of the Times! OUR GREAT MEN. It is something worse than an error attempt to force the people of the Union into unfriendly and factious controversies, in relation to tho merits and demerit of our great men. All such controversies, if they shall be encouraged by those who have fairly won the gratitude of the nation, will cast shadows on the brightness of their fame. My admiration of our great statesmen and great soldiers, is not less than that of any one of their most devoted personHOiial friends; bnt I do not Wlicve that the success of the national cause was achieved eithor by tho towering greatness of one man, or by the superior merits of a few men. From the commencement of the rebellion to the present time, the learning, patriotism, courage, statesmanshipin n word, all the moral and intollectHsl powers of the loyal people of the Union have been earnestly and constantly engaged in devising and carrying into cflcct, measures for the preservation of the provcrnmeut, and in proposing through the press and other ways, plans for the solution of new, intricate, and stupendous problems. Throughout the course of the terriblo struggle from which our country Is triumphantly rising, our great statesmen were dependent for their success upon our great commanders, on land and sea and our great commanders were dependent for their success, npou the strength, and patriotism and courage, of our brave soldiers and seamen and these were dependent for supplies of arms, ammunition, food, clothing, ships, and transportation, upon the Government of the United States the Government has Wen supported by the strength and virtue of tho people of the nation; and the people of the nation; detive ther strength and virtue from the favor of the Almighty One, who looketh to tho ends of the earth, and reeth under tho whole heaven."

Julian alleges that Mr. Yaryan was removed from the Assessorship of this District, for objections to bis of ficial acts. This insinuation, without any specification as to their nature, is a trick commonly reserted to by those who desire to make slander effective, and to invent au excuse for perpetrating an act of injustice. Without any explanation, Mr. Yaryan's good name as an honest man and competent otlicer, would suffer with those who have always so regarded him in Injth his private aud ofllclal relations; but happily the base insiuuatire slander is oflicially met and an estoppel placed on the lips of the traducer, while the detraction was being uttered. Itead the following letter from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Hon. Jos. J. Lewis, in regard to Mr. Yaryan's official conduct: Treasury Department Office of In-) ternal Kevenue, Washington. May, 30th 18G5.) Sir: Yours of the "2d of May, is just laid before me. The fact stated by Mr. Julian, is as stated. You have been removed and Mr. Cheney appointed. I gave you last winter, or perhaps earlier, a statement of some charges that were made against yon. One was, that you kept in ofiicc as assistant assessor, a man of profligate character, and unacceptable to the people of the District. The other was, that the duties of your ofllce were performed principally by your son, whose manners where rude and calculated to render the Internal Revenue service unpopular with the taxpayers. js'o charge was, or could be alleged against your administration of the oflice in any other respect. There has been, according to our records, no better Assessor in the State of Indiana. Yours Respectfully, Joskfii J. Lewis. The reference to the "man of profligate character," above alluded to. Is said to be a Mr. rUenis, the deputy assessor of j Fayette and Union counties whose du-j ties as an officer had been discharged to j the entire satisfaction of the people. He, i unfortunately, had a difficulty with his j wife, which resulted in a divorce. It is j an entire new phase in political economy j that an officer should be held accouuta- ! blefor thc private troubles and family j jars of hi employees! If this rule should j genearlly obtain, the official guillotine j would be kept as busy as its name sake was during the French revolution the "dictator" himself, could his caput be brought within reach of it, would as certainly fall from his shoulders, as did j that of tho inventor of that instrument j The doctrine that "the sins of the fathers ! snail Lie vjsueu on uio cuimreu, aas received a new spiritual translation, and it now meaneth in this district that the private peccadillos of a subordinate shall be visited on his employer! The charge of rudeness against Mr. Homer Yaryan, in his dealings with the tax-payers, is simply untrue. No man who was himself courteous and gentlemanly, ever had cause of complaint regarding his treatment by young Yaryan. This, like the Phenas complaintds trumped np for the occasion. The high compliment of Commissioner Lewis, reaches both Mr. Y. and his son ; for he says that the duties of the office "were performed principally" by the latter, and that, according to the records on file in his office, "there has beex o bkttku Assessor ix the State of Ixpiaxa," than the former. Secretary Stautoa has expressed himself forcibly in favor of the education of freedincn. lie 6 ays he wishes there Could be a school on every plantation.

The 85th, 87th and 81st came in Saturday morning, and will have a recep tion on Mondav the 19th. .Foar hundred released rebels from Camp Doaglaa. arrived in this city Saturday morning, and excited considerable interest while waiting at the Depot for transportion South. At the same time the Baptist Picnic was waiting for their train to back in, all looking so gay and happy, strongly uovod some of the rebels, who for years have seen few if any children, and no doubt caused many of them to think of such times long ago, when ours was a peaceful land. They appeared to want to get home, caring little bow they did it. Last week, the last rebel shook the dust of Camp Morton of! his feet and proceeded Southward a wiser, if not better man. The city Fathers are making preparations for a grand celebration on the 4th of July, in honor of the Nation's birthday, and the fall of Vicksbnr. Gen. lien.

For the Palladium. Capt. J. J. Wright. Fkiksd Ii. W. Davis, A fctatiment; appearing ia the "Palladium" of last week, to the effect that Captain J. J. j Wriuht had been dismissed from his , Country's service ou account of desertion, and no contradiction having ap- j peareu troni any quarter since., ttio impression would naturally settle down on the community, that the Captain bad been guilty of the disgraceful crime of desertion. I am not fully acquainted with the case, but there are some facts , beariugon the charge of desertion which are within my personal knowledge. Ij know that for a considerable length of; time Capt. Wkight had been detached j from the regiment, by order of the Gov- I ernment, and acting as commissary of, subsistence in Tennessee, providing the i Military posts on the great route between j Nashville and Chattanooga, including j the latter place, and such other pxnnjs j as be from time to time was ordered to ! attend to. I was with him when he- took j his last herd of beef cattle through, from i Nashville to Chattanooga. We left Nashville on the 25th of April, tip to which time he bad received no instructions changing the order under w'lich he Was acting as Commissary. The cattle were driven through in due time to- Chattanooga, turned over to the proper authorities, the Captain's reports made out, and he returned at once to Nashville, in obedience to orders from the Chief of Commissary. On reaching Nashville he found orders relieving him from duty as Commissary, and ordering him to join the regiment with as little delay as the settlement of his Commissary business would admit. Which order he piomptly obeyed, leaving Nashville the sanit? day that he reached that citj from the South, aud came directly to Louisville, wlrere I parted with him, he moving on for his rp?bnicnt. j These facts will show to those who have no knowledge of the case, how far ta"e is any ground for the charge of; desertion. In regard to the charge of his having been dismissed from the Perrrce on reaching his Reg't, I have no meant t present of knowiug anything. The I machinations and misrepresentations of ; malicious enemies may in his al-sciKe liave produced this result. Should such ' be lhe cae Iie be promptly restored to bis former position as soon a the Government gives the matter its attention. ' ' Respectfully, J. W.

""SoMIei! Home at the Capita!. " We notice a circular of the 'Executive Committee of Indiana Soldiers and Sailors" Home, just issued, of which Gov. Morton, is President, which appeals to the People of the State to contribute liberaUv toward the erection of

a '-Home for those patriot soldiers, who, by the loss of limbs or o'her calamities, are disabled for life, and who desire to accept its .hospitalities. ;TUe coming Fourth of July is sasrgested as a proper time"td make corifribtitfons towards that object- each contributor paying one dollar and upwards. Messrs. D. B. Crawford, S. R. Wiggins, and A. F.

As bearing upon this idea of a "Sol diers Home," we publish on the first PaSe ot to-day's Palladium, a comraanication which we take from the Indiana Slate Sentinel of Juue 5th, which we think contains some common-sense suggestions, opposing the establishment of an institution of the kind proposed; bu proposes to have established in ils stead Homes in each County, Ac.

Nkwcomb, its chief Editor, declining the nomination, likely to be tendered him by the Union party, for Judge of the Fifth Judicial Circuit. Of the position, he says : "It is one I should be pleased to occupy ; but considerations of duty, as well as of my private interests, have determined me to retain the position of editor of the Indianapolis Journal, to which I have devoted my atteution for the past year." We have suspected, for some time past, that the Editor of the Journal was atllicted with some brains ; and this more than satisfies us that our conjectures were correct. The corps editorial of Indiana could not well spare Mr. Newcomb; and right glad are we to learn that the publishers of the Journal are able to make it to his "personal interest" to retain his present position.

Governor Ilahn has published a rard in which he declares that the Legislature of Louisiana ndnpted the Constitutional amendment abolishing slavery, the reports to the contrary being untrue. Advices from Florida state that the people generally are ready to acquiesce in the emancipation proclamation and return to their allegiance. Some outrages have been perpetrated by former masters on their late slaves, but the negroes generally are working for wages and are well treated. The Government has stopped payment of all claims of whatever nature due to deserters. The settlement of President Lincoln's estate shows that he saved 875,000, mostly invested in Government securities. Letters from the interior of North Carolina represent a snd state of destitution. Some labor is performed by the negroes, but the whites are rrenerallv idle, and frequently call for troops to protect them against their former slaves, though not a single case of outrage has been reported.

Rebel Leaders in "Canada.

from tee-A ): Jonrstal, Jang l-tth. - A "friend who has recently Tisited Canada, informs us that Sanders, Tucker and Dr. Blackburn, ( of yellow fever notoriety, ) where loating aboat St. Lawrence Hall. Montreal, drinking whiskey copiously, talking largely, vigorously denouncing the "vulgar Yankees" and strutting quite in the old pompous way. The landlord of the house, week before lat, gave them notice that it was no longer desirable to have them as guests, waen they packed tip their duds and went to tbe Ottawa, aa American Louse, th keeper of which, by the way, is, or was two vears njo, a cood Union man. Our friend conversed with them freely, and they confessed to bim that the rebellion was not only a failure, but a stupendous mistake. Although they tried to maintain a bold front before the Canadians, they were really extremely crestfallen, and nervously anxious to know what the Government proposed to do with them. Of course they indignantly repelled the charge of being concerned in the assassination of President Lincoln ; while Dr. Blackburu, who has the manners of a well bred gentleman, affected virtuous horror of the imputation of endeavoring to introduce pestilence into our Northern cities. Our friend says that the position of these men in Canada is anything but enviable. They have lost caste. They have suddenly ceased to be personages of importance. With the coii.-ipse tf the rebellion came the collapse of their power as "representative." The Canucks, w ho had hitherto treated them with great consideration, now turn the Cold shoulder upon them. The fashionable society that a few weeks ago welcomed them with smirks and smiles now slam the door in their faces. Shop keepers refuse to recognize them, and landlords serve them with notices to quiet. They wander about disconsolately, unnoticed and uubefreuded. with the brand of infamy on their foreheads and the curse of Cain following them like a fate. They will -have no home they have no country. With the guilt of parricide on their souls, 'they have not even the grim consolation of knowing that their hellish schemes succeeded. The Union the Union of their fathers they attempted to destroy "still lives" in spite of their fiendish plots is Itottomed upon a stronfier, firmer foundation than ever. They have done their worst, but they failed as Lucifer failed before them. And now they are outcasts, with no refuge or hidiiiiz place in prospect but a dishonored grave. If it were possible to harbor a sentimeut towards such wretches we should pity them. Lion-Tamer "Chawed Up." A liontamer, attached to the Combination Circus, while "taming" with a cowhide a refractory lioness in Terre Haute last week, had several fingers gnawed oif. Though fond of notoriety, he objects to being lion ized- in that way. Masoxic Celeb katiox. The fraternit3' of Indianapolis have made ample arrangements "for refreshments for all the brethren who may attend the grand Masonic celebration on the 23d instant. Washington specials sn' that Hon. D. S. Dickinson, of New York had an interview with President Johnson, on Thursday, in regard to an extension of the right of suffrage to the freedincn of the South. He told Mr. Johnson that a large majority of the loyal people of the country were in favor of clothing the negro race with the elective franchise, and that in giving it to tbem his action would be sustained not only by New York, but by all the loyal States. Mrs Mahala Collixs, of Cambridge Citj'-, Indiana, is anxious to know of the fate of her husband, Henry Collins, member of Company F. 3G Indiana. He was taken prisoner at Chickamauga, and was last heard from at Andersonville prison, June 4, 18G4. If this paragraph should meet the eye of any of our returned prisoners, they will confer a great favor by addressing her as above. Commendable. The officers of the Terre Haute and Richmond Railroad have issued instructions to their conductors and ticket agents to sell tickets to, and carry on their trains, at soldiers, rates of fare, for the balance of the present year, or until further orders, all honorably discharged, gentlemanly officers and srldiers that have lecn permanently crippled or maimed in the service of the country. This co nun end a hie action on the part of tiiis road only reflects its usual liben'ity in all laudnble cases, and is simple justice to such officers and soldiers. We hope nil the roads of our State will not be slow to ' fail in line," and follow this generous example. Certainly none of our roads will be poorer in treasury or in reputation by so doing. Such officers and sohliert--. and the people generally, should properly appeciate this action. Ind Journal. Weather Siixs. The British Board of Trade have deemed tiie following ' signs'' reliable enough to warrant their publication for the benefit of mariners: "A bright yellow sky in the evening indicates wind: a pale 3ellow, wet; a neutral gray color constitutes a favorable sign in the evening an nnfaToratle one in the morning. The clouds are full of meaning in themselves. If their forms are soft, undefined and feathery, the weather will be finite, if the edges are hard, sharp and definite, it will be foul. Generally speaking, any deep, nnusnal lines betoken wind or rain, while the more quiet and delicate tints bespeak fair weather." A Mobile clergyman went to Gen. Granger and asked Lim if he proposed to compel the rebel clergymen to rray for Andrew Johnson ? "Compel you,". was the General's replyr "why, if your prayers don't do the President of the United States any more good than they have Jeff. Davis, it is no sort of consequence about your prayers anyway." 3? While the performance was going on in the Pittsburg Theater the other evening, a boy in the gallery broke forth in a series of frantic yells, rolling over benches, and conducting himself in a distracted manner. As so?n as be could be caught and calmed, it appeared that his terror w rrconed by a huge rat i which bad taken shelter ap a leg of his trowsera.

A Tableau Entertainment, Took place nt Starr Hall on Tuesday night last, at which we understand prizes were awarded to the prettiest lady, and to the ugliest gentleman present the nudieuce to make the selection by vote. Who the fortunate lady was we did not learn; but Col. W. T. Dennis andourself beingab sent, the prize was unanimously voted to belong to our younp friend Am PuiLLirs, the proprietor of Starr Hall.Ana can congratulate himself on the absence of competitors for that silver cup. KrW were glad to take by the band last week, and welcoma home our old friend Major J. S. Lylk, formerly of the 5th Ind. Cavalry ; but recently a volunteer in the ranks of the 71st InJ. Reg't of Mounted Infantry, stationed in Tennessee and operating against tlie rebels in that quarter. His time expired with the three years of the Regiment, which was mustered out of service Ust week at Ipdianapvlja. We think our authorities have done so competent an officer and so good a soldier and patriot, injustice in not giving bim the promotion his friends aked for him sometime agn. But that is past, and be and his friends have the satisfaction of knowing that be did not shrink from offering hi service in the hour of hi country's need ; and they can heartily congratulate him that when he was refused desreved proinotioo, he cheerfully took up the knapsack and musket, determined to contribute his mite towards crushing out tho rebellion in a more humble, but not less honorable, capacity as a common soldier. "Ex-President Lincoln carried with bim to Washington the simple manners and inexpensive habits of hi former lifo. His manner of living in the White House was consistent with bis character, unostentatious and frugal. Though he responded, as his heart prompted, to appeals from the worthy, but unfortunate, he did nothing for show or effect; and consequently, as in the case of Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Fillmore, out of bis annual 85,0o, he save-1 in the aggregate, nearly or quite .0,000, which sum was, and remains invested in Government securities. A, i". limes. It is said that the dime contributions of Ohio servant girls put S0,000 clear, intoC. L. Vallandigham's pocket. This event Val.'s. neighbors propose to celebrate on the 15th, at Beardehear's Grove, four miles from Dayton. All the ten centers are invited to attend. . It is not stated that they will get "their money back." Sprinield yews. MARIlHOr.K. MAURI ED. On the lMh day of June. C5, by John Finley, Mayor.
