AllBltM Lixcolk. TO THE SOLDIDRS AND SAILORS OF INDIANA. A contest is at band not less vital in importance than that in which .for ncais ly five years you were prominent actors It is a contest involving the same issues which one year ago you thoagut were finally closol. You are called upon to make one more battle for the cause of your country-, and decide at the ballot box the questions which are raised here on behalf of those you often defeated on Southern fields. You know that while you were fighting the battles of your country against open enemies a secret and more dangerous foe was in your rear.' You remember how discouragiug to your hopes and your cause waa any . success of that foe at home, and how your suf ferings were prolonged, and the blood and lives of brave men wasted by every victory it chanced to win at. the polls. No disaster at the hands of , open and brave enemies in front, ever did so much to demoralize the .Union Army, . as an election carried by the Democratic party in the rear. You are now appealed to by that same party for support. Only two years ago that party resolved and voted the war a failure and the rebellion a success; it denied your patriotism, it called you merceniaries and hirelings of a despot; it conld find nothing too" bitter, no outrage too dtstardly, no crime too wicked to charge upon you; it could see nothing mournful in your defeats, nothing cheering in your jrictoriesj it refused you another man or another .dollar; it conspired to set free, and armjn the midst of your families, the thousands of rebel soldiers captured by your valor, and in your absence, to carry the horrors of war to the homes you had left in peace; it denied jou, while absent fighting your country's battles, any voico in the elections. And now, in the face of all this, this same Democratic party, before its slanders ae cold, appeals to you to save it by your votes from an inglorious and deserved defeat. It asks you, Soldiers and Sailors of Indiana, to throw yourselves into its arms. It promises you rich reward if you will forget its abuse, its falsity, and its treason, the rich reward of committing your interests to men who have onco . proved false to their own oaths, who have fought you on bloody fields and starved juu m prison pens, and whom it propose toadmit at onee, without guaranties,; into the councils of the nation.! II you will now desert the cause for which you have suffered, if yon will repent your glorious deeds if you will falsify yonr record, and stulify and dishonor' yourselves, that party will receive you with open arms and admit you toahare in its own infamy. On the other side, is the great and glorious Union party which stood by you and sustained you in the darkest hours of the war, which maintained against secret and conspiring enemies : at home, the same cause you so nobly maintained abroad. On the success of this party depends your honorable name and the integrity of your couatry. If ; it is defeated now, all is lost which you fought to gain. What is at issue - now, is no question of taxation, or tariff, or negro suffrage, as the Democratic party would falsely persuade you. The question is the permanence of your victories. Your old enemies, with their Northern sympathizers, would bow win by fraud what your valor kept them from winning by force. The energies of treason are being transferred to the political contest here. To retain your glory, you must act with the same vigilance, concert and vigor with which you won it The decision of this contest against thef Union men who have so long sustained the Government, will make it better that war had nover been waged against rebellion. If your names are then retained npon the Tension Rolls, it will be alongside those of your "Southern brethren who fought you with such desperation. Rebels will be honored as patriots, while you will be disgraced as hirelings. Already before the grass ia green over the graves of your dead comrades, the men t who denounced and conspired against you, have fraternized with avowed rebels yetun purged of treason. Secretly working for traitors during the war, Northern Democrats now openly affiliate with Southern rebels at Fbiladelplua. At last they haya 4xaw9 aaide to -curtain and ahow thomaelres coaspiring together for division' in the North, as they have done for five years past. ; With a united South and a divided North, they threaten to sweep away every- vestige of your victories, and destroy every trophy of your valor, and even ask yoar aid to achieve it. ' ' '- ' - . ' We appeal to yon with whom Ve hsVs fougUj to stand Una' to tha principles for which you risked your lives and shed

your blood. We appeal to you to rally

onxe mora and uutke a, final , charge up on the line of your enemies, and over-1 ' whelm them in a defeat more inglorious than they have ever before suffered at your hands. Organize and work,' See that every soldier and voter comes into the ranks: and with the same liar trver us that we bore so . long through iron storm and leaden hail to victory, march in solid .column to the polls in October, and ahow un regenerate rebels at .home and abroad we have not forgotten the past, and will not yet receive -them" Into our confidence.

The gentleman and gallant soldier, whoso name .beads this article, has been our personal and political friend for more than twenty-five rears. We hare had the pleasure of agreeing witb him in times past, and lad hoped to eontinae to do so in future. We now deeply regret to say that we have parted. In his seal and enthusiasm in support of the President, he has followed that gentleman into the ranks of the enemies of the government. Had we been asked who was the last man in Wayne County, whom we would suspect of turning his bade upon his old friends and potitcial associates, to connect himself with the old "democratic party," and be found associating with men who are and hare for years been in full sympathy with tha traitors of the South? we would hare promptly answered, Solomon Meredith. , The General will doubtless deny that he has gone over to the "democratic party;" but that will not avail him. There are but two parties ia our country to-day, and his leader, Andrew Johnson, ia the recognised head of the "democratic party." No gentleman of intelligence will, for one moment, deny this fact. The whole effect and intention of the Philadelphia Cohrention was to reorganize that old rotten party under a Uew name. Those who had controlled ita organization for many years were member of the Convontion, and only consented to sit quietly by and allow a platform to be adopted, that is a cheat and fraud upon ita face, in tie hope of dividing and breaking up the great Union party that had carried the country triumphantly thiough the late terrible and bloody civil war a party whose acta will illuminate the brightest pages of American history, and which now commands the admiration of the civilised world, lt was this party that General Mehsdith and bia associates at Philadelphia conspired to defeat. He has now made his bed with the very men whom ho has time and ' . - - government men wham he haa spent the beat part of his life in opposing,and who have heaped upon him the vileSt calumnies and abuse. We suppose he haa carefully considered the consequences of bis acts and is prepared to accept them. lie ia a man who never seeks to avoid an issue, or attempts to shift the responsibility ot bia own acts. lie is whole-souled and generous to a fault; but we are convinced that he has now committed an ' error that ho will regret from this time forward.' Should he become a candidate for Congress in this Congressional District, as we hear it intimated he will be, he will only meet with humiliating and mortifying defeat. He commanded a large influence - while a member of the great Union party; but now, that he has abandoned its organization, he will find that he has been stripped of all political influence in that party, and the only effect of his being a candidate will be to make the Union men adhere with greater tenacity to the nominee. If ad Gen. JIebebith remained true to the principles of the Udion party, wc would haTe willingly supported him for Congress in preference to Mr. Julian; but nnder the circumstances wo respectfully decline to become a party to disorganize the only loyal association of men to whom it ia safe to confide the salvation and vital interests of the government. The people are terribly in earnest. We are on the brink of another insurrection, and it is not impossible that we may have to appeal to arma before the great questions now at issue are settled. We are confident that the loyal millions of the North have made np their minds to meet the issue. They wilt stand firmly by the Constitution and meet the impend, ing storms with a firmness and determination that cannot fail to triumph over the evil machinations of rebels North and South. Trjs Caouu. The cholera has nearly disappeared in oar midst. It has ceased to be rcgvrded as epidemic, and all oar careful people feel assured ot , perfect safety, except so far as every one is constantly and at all times liable to disease and death. People of the country can vioit the eity without danper, provided they behave themselves with decorum and pru dence. e can give no encouragement at anytime to -tie oissojnte ana ivcsiess. i ne authorities will continue their watchful care over the sanitary condition of the city for aomo time yet, and we hope that this care will assume a chronic lorm and never aoate. CtacMNofe Twrt JtiMjs 30, - Senator Doolittte's Plea. Senator Doolittle's plea that the South have already been sufficiently punished is re-echoed byall the Copperheads prints in the land. They point to the desolated South and grow lachrymose over the mourning in Southern homes and in all their lamentation you would not suspect that there was a soldiers widow or a soldier's orphan in the entire Jforth. " The Pittsburg Commercial di-poses of rthis plea in behalf of the South as follows: .- . . , .- , If a burglar: have one of his limbs broken in the perpetration of his crime, is the pain he sutlers from the fracture reckoned a part of bis punishment? And will it be admitted as a plea in mitigation of a sentence of imprisonment ? If an assassin sprain his ankle leaping upon the stage after the bloody deed, shall charity, excited by his limping gait, alienee all claims of justice ? A great gift coDiert it to be given cm Sept.

That I subsequently did send an authorized government inspector to inspect said horse and having performed that duty, he reported that the animal was fit for public service; that : thereupon the said horse was turned over to the Quartermaster's department at Indianapolis, Indiana, and properly accounted for by me on my property returns, and Col. Gray was paid for the care and feed of the horse, while in his possession, with my knowledge and consent, the said' animal having been better cared for, and more speedily recuperated while in . the possession of Col.

editor's future course.'and thathe would. thereafter, be found editorializing from, the text then given out by him: "P?rsittent crimination and recrimination among political friends, is unworthy of men engaged in a common cause, at this grave crisis ta our political history." But we were mistaken tb at text was only intended as a little by -play, or as something to be said in parenthesis; for, imitating the character of the cowardly snake of the copper species, it waa only intended to be used as a patch of grass in wbieh to hide. ! In the same paper, he spits forth his poison towards Governor Morton,;, under ' pretence .of.., showing what his political enemies say about him. by publishing in full the most indecent. black-guard article, from the Indianapo lis Herald: that ever dias-raced type, ink -and paper. In thus publishing this foul stuff, the "Truo (Julian) Copperhead,' has. only fulfilled its threat made Novemy ber 5)th, 1865, when its editor made use "of the following language: , i kIf the Governor and bis organ desire or should furnish us with a fit occasion. we maj give them an entertainment they may not relish. The war is over now, and the people are gettin of ready to lis L tor cooily to the truth. It will, perhaps, be enough for us to say, at present, that use know the Governor moral and private character as well as we know some things about his public career, and the truth hat Y ftotking to fear from exposvrt. i We can imagine the sardonic, develish grin that illuminated that editor's countenance, as he seized the bnzzard mess prepared' by "the Herald and "rolled it as a sweet mbrsal under his tongue," and then ' 'spread 'the putrid, sickening mass belbre his readers! ' I General Sheridan's Opinion. 4 At this moment it is interesting and important to know General Sheridan's view of the feeling of the late insur gent section. He is not an "Abolition 1st" nor a "Radical," in the ordinary sense. A late correspondent says: "lie said there was an undoubted change for the worse in the attitude o tlje South within the last six mouths, and bad symptoms appeared to be increasing. It now looked as if these infatuated people were once more to precipitate 'tbeirj own misfortune. Nothing could have been more considerate than the dis'pbsition of the nation towards its defeated foes, even in the heat of passion and flush of victory; and had the rebels only manifested a temper porrespondingly reasonable as, indeed, was very natural to be ' expected , after such chastisement there could have been no further difficulty. The South' evidently 'had t no statesmen, else so plain a problem would not continue to be so bungled; . for it ' shonld be clear that no class, once set free, can long remain disfranchised; and as they ought to have forestalled their foes in giving freedom to that class in war, so afterward common sense ought to have prompted at least the latter prudence in making allies in peace of those with' whom they are bound henceforth to 'live. Instead,, however, it appeared certain that the rebels had learned notbi ng from experience, and would, in fact, 'rive their only chance into unfriendly liands. The safety of the public peace tmd of the private rights of Union meh in tbe South still required the mediation bf a sufficient military force; and if called 4jpon to give his testimony it should be ihat the United States troops ought not et to be removed from the South." ' ; Recent events in General Sheridan's Department certainly tend to confirm his view. , - ' Gea. Sheridan on the Sew Orleans Riots. The dispatches of Gen. Sheridan on the causes ot the late riot in New Orleans have finally been "smoked but, ot which we give the following: -, j - New Orleans, La., Ang. 2. Vi L Grant: ,,i Gbrl Tbe more information I obtain of the afEiir of the 30th, in tl.is city, the more revolting it be"romes. It was ne riot. It was an absolute massacre ty the police, which waa not excelled in murderous eruelty by that of Fort Pillow. It was a murder which the Mayor and ponce of the city perpetrated without the shadow of a necessity. Furthermore, I believe it was premeditated and every indication points to this. ' I recommend the removing of this bad man. I beSeve it would be hailed with the sincerest gratification . ey two-thirds of the population of the city. There ias been a feeling ef insecurity en the part of the people here on account of this man, which is now so acreased that the safety of life and property does not rest with tbe civif authority, but the military.

The Cat out of the Bag.

In a speech delivered at Cincinnati a feir days ag,'5Ir?; Eggleson, member of Opagress from the Cincinnati District, stated that Gevernor Aiken, of South Carolina, ina conversation with him, gavelhAXoilowing' as hia reason for his great desire for the admission of members of Congress from hia State to their. sua is; "Said Gov. "Aiken, of South Carolina, whan Jn ahisltt rt time ago, w ucu a ikeu una wuv ue insisieu on lue seus - auw ;&Ka nun u j tueir inreresis were not well taken ears of, "Mr. Eggles ton, sai l, tie,.' there are only two things you have not done for us and ne ver will do: Ve have, hundreds and thousands of widows ia the South, and we want tq be in Congress so as to place our wiaows on tne pcnsion rolls or tiie L nitea Mates that ther may have the same sup port the widows bf your soldier get. 1 lie otner matter is, tbat we have con tractracted a large debt down South, as yorl have in the "North, 'and it is not rignt lor us 1 to be - taxed to pay your debts nnless your, taxes also go to pay Ur debt. j, , , .7 r t : .: , The above is doubtless the true reason, for the great anxiety of . southera rebels for immediate representation iu Congres They are. not willing to agree to the pay ment of. the debt incurred by the Gov ernment in the suppression of the rebell ion and to pay, bounties to soldiers, and pensions to the disabled, and to the. wid ows and children of those slain in battle for the preservation of the nation's life, unless also the soldier.who fought for the destruction of the government be placed upon the same footing as our Union Sol diers. ,. - si.,f 1- .- ' Are the people of the north willing for this? are they filling that the govern ment shall assume the payment of a huge debt contracted in an effort to destroy the nation?. This is a matter that should receive, our serious consideration. If th southern, debt should be assumed by the government, and southern soldiers plac ed upon the pension list as our own, the burden would be heavier than the nation could bear, and hence universal repudi ation would follow. , To prevent such state of things it is all important that the Union party be kept in power and the government be kept out of the hands of rebels and their northern allies and sym pathizers, the . Copperheads.. To maintain our currency, to guarantee the payment of the national debt, to redeem our solemn obligations to the nation's living though maimed defenders, to the widows and orphans of those slain in battle, as it is our duty to do, wc -must not let the government pass into the hands of Southern rebels aud Northern . Copperheads. . WnAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO. The address of the Philadelphia Convention is not the first warning the people have had of what is in 1 store for them in case the copperhead party fail in securing a majority of the' next Congress. The threat of civil war,' made in this docu ment, is but a reiteration of what Montgomery Blair said in a copperhead meeting at' Reading, Penn.' He' there declared if the next Congress refused to admit the members from the rebel States the President would recognize them and the copperheads of the North as the Congress of the 17. States thereby inaugurating a war in; comparison to that which we hare passed dwindles into insignificance As Blair is regarded as the mouthpiece of the President, and the Philadelphia Convention and Andrew Johnson are one and the same person, we say these threats are entitled to serious consideration. - , , , . A Cuaiocs RxvataTios. A KnoxviUe (Tenn.) correspondent of Detroit Past, under date of Jnly 17, writes: "Some curious facts hare come to my knowledrs within a few davs, which seem to show the unsurpassed wickedness of some of the agents of the rebellion. It seems that ia 1861, before Mr. Johnson left the country, a letter 'as sent to him by Amos Lawrence, of Massachusetts, congratulating him on the noble stand taken by East Tennessee. The letter was opened by the postmaster, one C. W. Charlton, who showed it to some friends, and they thereupon conceived the idea of replying to it in Mr. Johnson's name. Tbey wrote a reply stating that the Union canse was doing- well, bnt they grvatly needed Some moneyv To this letter they forged Mr. Johnson's name.: . . . ,Ti ,.-. -. Mr. Lawrence replied, sending a draft ef S 1,000, and saying that if Mr. Johnson would allow him to show tbe letter in Boston, he did not donbt that be could raise $19,000 easily. Tbey thereupon forged a reply, giving permission to exhibit the letter, and asking that the money be sent oy express, ia New England bank bills. Before the money was sent however, communication was interrupted, or something occurred to excite the suspicions of Mr. Lawrence, and I think the New England bank bllis were not sent. . "To carry out their wickedness these gentlemen then determined to arrest Mr. Johnson, charge him with carrying on a treasonable correspondence with the enemy, convict hiut by the production of Mr. Lawrence's letters, (none of which be had ever seen,) and hang him to the nearest tree. The plan to capture him was well laid, an officer by the name of Hindman (a general from Arkansas) oflering to do tte work, and swearing that be would hang hiss as soon as be could catch him. . The plan was only defeated by the refusal of John R. Branner, President of tbe East Tennessee and Virtinia Railroad, who was in the secret to furnish a special train to transport Ilindman and his select body of troops. By the delay thus caused Mr. Johnson was eoabied to escape."
