RICHMOND, IND, NOV. 17th, 1868. Vnitsd STAT-re Bvnarn. Since the excitemen of the election has pased and tbe Republi can party baa been victorious,. in our State, the people ar actually beginning to think and talk about who Khali be chosen t fill the office within the gift of the next Legislature. One of the most important duties which devolves on nor next General Assembly, it the choice of a United States Senator to succeed the Hon. Tlioa A. Hendricks. The perxon so chosen shouM be a citizen of a I igh nMi of qualifications, of extensive' knowledge in political affaire, of large reputation and one who would confer honor on the. oflice as weil as receive it therefr m. . Several, distinguished gentlemen have boon spoken of in connection with the high office and among tbem Col. Richard W. Thompson, of this city. With all deference to the claims of others, we think there can le no better choice made than the election of Col. Thompson It . is needless for us to dicus his eminent fitness for the place, for he is well known throughout the entire State and has targe natinnul reputation. Probably the majority of the Republicans of Indiaua are personally acquainted with him, and all know him by reputation. While Col. Thompson is not a candidate, in the ordinary sense of tbe term, for any official position however dignified or important ; and, we are sure, will not press bis personal claims to divide or trouble tbe Republican party, yet we feel authorized to ear that he will consent to tbe use of his name. before the next Legislature, in connection with tbe United States Senatorship, if there is any well expressed wish that he should do so. Before concluding this article we will say that, as iiic name of Col. Thomas H. Nelson has been prominently mentioned in different parts of the State, in t unection with the United States Searsbip, we are assured that he will not be a candidate for that position. IvWeaA Exprrt. . - It is again announced that Secretary McCulloch is c ntidoriug the propriety of easing the money marked by letting loose soma rf that forty odd millions of greenbacks which he never should hare withdrawn so rapidly from circulation. We don't see how that Si g"in? to any good. The extra flow of money will tei"d:ly be absorbed by an inflation of prices, and then we shall shout with "Uncle Joe" in the Drummer Boy, "Whar' ar we now?" We shall be pretty much as we were, with the disadvantage of keiaS unable to get out of the bole we went in at. Wouldn't it be well enough for Mr. McCulloch to quit doctoring Walt street. He "may understand the symptoms, but evidently don't understand the proper application.Dayton Jotrnrt. - . y - ,, TL.. I . ,. . . V to muianapona Journal, of the 1 7th, says that lhe ooay or a man by tbe name of Frank Browning wa round in White nver-it is supposed Le committed suicide.. For a while it was thought to be the bodv of I. W. Kurtz, of Moncie, the reading -Clerk of last Jmiiana House of Representatives, who had mvs teriously disappeared from his home about two week ago. -(.'... We clip the following items from the Daily N. Y. Tribune, of the 12th : Our Washington dispatch informs us that Minister Johnson has been acting entirely without instrnc tions fr.ua home thus far in his conduct of the Alabiuu chums negotiations, and that his couise is viewed with as mncb reprehension by the State Department as by the people at large. No'confirmationof the news by Cable day before yesterday coni ceraing the terms of the reported settlement of the Alabama clatou bad been received at Washington: Rever.l v told the English nation, the other evening, tint he had been "greatly criticised for the manner "in which he had reeei'ed offered civilities while in tliU. country, but such strictures on bis conduct "had nit affected the negotiations which were in "progress. However dissatisfied people in England "or in America may be, they will find that there ig no grounl for such m feeling." Far be it for ns to intru le upon the griefs so magnanimously avowed by Reverjy Johnson. No one objects to his "negotiations," nor to the ordinary interchange of " civilities." No one expected Mr. Johnson to carry to England , any of the griefs or of the resentments of the war but we certainly did not expect that the men whom he wonl.l single out and publicly honor as his friends would ba theenemieiof our country. We did not ixpect him to embrace nohlemen like Lord Wha-nclifle, . who ha 1 taken prominent part in favor of the Rebels, or speculators like Laird, who had built privateer to ileatroy our commerce, and even going so far ss to t va'lo and dishonor his flag by sending them surrep. titiounly to sea, or demagogues lice Roebuck, who publicly insulted the American people in tbe presence of its minister, dy his degrading and loathsome rhetoric. Reverdy should be allowed to return to Maryland, and, by the quiet waters of the Chesapeake, to brood upon the ingratitude of his countrymen. He certainly is needed no longer in London. A glance at our Louisiana table shows that Grant r jj-iiveJ 1 vote and Seymour 1,6 35 in a Parish where 472 Whites and 2,998 Blacks were registered last year. In Caddo, where the registry stood 2,987 Blacks to 777 Whites, Grant gets 1 vote and Seymour 2,895. St. Mary, East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, and other Parishes show similar figures. But St. Landry, the Scene of the lata Rebel massicre goes the whole bog, casting 4,800 votes for Seymour and none for Grant, though 3,102 Blacks were registered in that Parish last year. This is liberty and freedom of elections as guaranteed by Mr. Johnson through bis beloved follower Rousseau . What would Louisiana bare done bad the illustrious Sheridan commanded in New Orleans T The naturalization fraud eases in the United States 1 Circuit Court were yesterday postponed till next week, when the counsel for tbe defense will attempt to bring on a test case and give it such a direction as will take it before the Supreme Court at Washington. Vt-KY Nauohtt. For saying that Indianians never hefre this Presidential election "had the privilege of voting for an Indianian for Vice President," the editor of the "Radical" takes tbe editor of the Indianapolis Journal to task for "wilfully," it fears, committing an error, and reminds bim that toy brother, George W. Julian, was "the Jirtt Indiana candidate tor Vjce President P The Journal editor was very nanghty in thus "willfully" ignoring this fact, and he should hasten to make tbe amende, for so great a slight is well calculated to "sadden the heart of every loyal man" in the nation ! Mr. Browsing' Pa ish. Under this title the New York Observer is publishing a serial story, to run through a large part of tbe next volume. It is written by the author of the prize tale, "The Puritan of 1863," "Win and Wear," "Girding on the Armor, ' Ac The story will commend itself to ministers and all religious readers by 'ts 1-igh literary character, its decidedly evangelical tone and spirit, and its grand object to illustrate tbe wonderful workings of Divine Providence in. defense of the tight, and bringing to naught tbe counsels of the wicked. All new subscribers get tbe story complete. . There is quite a flutter among some of tbe President's recent appointees in tbe regular army, grow ing out of tbe fact that that functionary baa refused to nominate a successor to General Hooker, and is said to favor reduction in the army. It is well known that General Grant favors such a policy, and it is not improbable that Andy will be taken with an economical fit and urge Congress to pass laws reducing the army to tbe lowest point that is deemed prudent and dejirable. There is but little doubt that it will be done whether be recommends it or not, and if so, a number of such officers as Rousseau will doubtless bo mustered out. When will Gen. Grant resign his commission T is the question which now most agitates tbe Dentoora- ' ry. Tbey want bim to resign immediately so that Johnson may hare full swing in tbe South. Gen. Grant has said nothing about it, and tbe Democrats don't know anything about it. ' It appears quite plain that they will tot learn anything about it by newspaper discussion. ' He ia sot likely to resign before the Electoral College declares him President elect which will not be en til February. !

Wc Lad the pleasure 3'csierday of a call frorn General Sol. Meredith, who has recently returned from the territory of Montana, where he has heen officially employed for nearly two years. Gen. Meredith speaks in high terms of the mineral and agricultural repources of that distant terrilorj', and of its 'pros- ' pecta in the future. Immigation increases every year and society is fast assimilating itself to that of the States. Twent3-four million dollars of gold was mined in Montana last year, in addition to which enough food is produced to sustain the population, while the caparity'of the fertile valleys "of the territory is almost beyond computation. The premium wheat exhibited at the recent Territorial Fair was a sample of a crop of twenty-three acres, which averaged fifty seven bushels per acre. ' We are glad to receive so favorable ao account of the agricultural resources and prospects of Montana, as we had supposed that it was worth but little, except in its yield of the precious metals.

GEN. WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON.

We find the following communication in the New York Tribune, which paper, in an editorial calling the attention of its readers to Unsays": - - - -A - .Many of our older readers will thank us lor giving place in thee roltimns to a vindication of our dep-med President. Gen. William Henry Harrison, by Jus companion' in arms. .life Ion?, friend and altntrer.Xal--k S. JJ'oJld,, of Kentucky, who was selected hv Gen. Harrison as Embassador vto Itus'sia. ! "The errors which Col. Todd corrects were unintended but not tltercfore less injurious. Gen. Harrison's honest, fame., is one, of his country's treasures ; she will not permit it to be dimmed, even heedless ly, and Col. Todd's vindication : is triumphant.' : i. ' We Bunll gratify many of his compatriots in the canvass of 1S40 by stating that Col. Todd, though surrounded by devotees of "The Lost 031130," is an earnest Republican, anil gave a zealous support to Grant and Collax in our late struggle the stress of which constrain ed ns to defer for weeks the publishing of his excellent letter." ' To the Editor of the Tribune : m: Au article, entitled 'V m. Henry Harrison," by James Partoo, lately appeared in the; New York Ledger, in which the author has cast an unexpected and unmerited reflection on the military services of a deceased patriot whose fame is dear to his country, and especially so to his fellow soldiers in the war of 1812. I ask a place in your columns in reply to this attack ; first, because 'Mr. Parton is regarded as an instructive writer, and supposed to be acquainted with the career of our prominent citizens having written two volumes upon the life of Aaron Burr nrd three volumes upon the life of Andrew Jackson, and brief sketches of many of the earlier Presidents and because the calumny has obtained a 'wide circulation through a paper which reaches? the, Hie sides of probably half a million of fanii lies, many of whom never read a general history, and, therefore, may regard this article as veritable. ' ... Mr. Parton undertakes t give a brief sketch of Gen. Harrison's life, but omits two incidents calculated to reflect honor upon his character as a soldier and as a statesman. He is not mentioned as the gallant aid -decamp ' of the immortal; Wayne, in the memorable campaign of I 1794, nor as the Secretary of the Northwestern Territor3r, often acting as Gov ernor; nor as the first Delegate in Congress from that Territory, where he acquired the title of "Father of the 'Land Sj-stem," which enabled the 'in en of the "log cabins" to secure each a home. ' I pass over the insinuation, in his ac count of the battle of Tippecanoe, that the Indians pointed out his ground for encampment, when there is abundant j evidence for the assertion that it was I selected by three of his officers (Major Waller, Major Marston Clark, an I Col. Wm. Piatt), and proceed to notice the particular passage which I 'claim to be i inconsistent with all well authenticated history. "He bays ': '' '" "The war of 1812 ensued. Harrison was commissioned Brigadier General, but was soon promoted to the rank of Major General. Hefbre he had. rendered much service in this war, considering hinj self aggrieved by the Secretary of War, he resigned his commission anil retired to private life." ; ' ... I have italicised the words , which are so objectionable, and remark that this unmilitary conduct of Secretary Armstrong, which caused Gtn. Hat risons resignation, occurred in te Spring of 1S14, and, consequent ly, in t'ue opinion of Mr. Parton, prior to "..;at time Gen. Harrison had not rendered much service in the war, though it involves. the .whole period of his participation in it. Let the histories of the war, wiitten Ivy men of the West acquainted with the subject, spe k : Gen. McAfee, au Hicer in the war, in referring to his appointment, says : "The services which he was" required to perform were, in the opinion of old, experienced and able officers, the most extensive and arduous that had ever been required from any military commander in Ameiica The endless nun ber of posts ami scattered settlements which he was obliged to maintain and protect against numerous and scattered bands of Indians, while he was contending with difficulties almost insurmountable in the main expedition against Mai den, were sufficient to employ all the. time, and talent3, and resources of the greatest military genius at the head of a welt appointed army.'' f . Two other officers of. that war- published (in 184ft) what has never been contradicted They say : "As the Commander-in-Chief of thpNorthwestcrn Army, Gen. Harrison w as ! intrusted with' more extensive and responsible powers than have been cvm.'i tided to , any officer in , our country, Washington alone excepted. The command assigned to Iiim embraced an immense extent of territory, with a Iron tier of seven hundred miles in length, stretching along the lakes (then in possession of the enemy), with harbors, inlets, and rivers admirably suited to favor their attacks upon our scattered border settlements. To defend this extended line of frontier, the commander's forces were chiefly undisciplined militia entirely wanting- experience in the field engaged for short terms of service, and held in obedience more by personal influence than the force of authority. But it was not to the defense alone of this district that Gen. Harrison's duties were confined. He was directed by his Government to act offensively against the enemy by"retaking Detroit and capturing the uppermost Canada, defended as it was by experienced British officers and soldiers, aided by a lare-Jbody, of Northwestern Indians. Detroit and

Canada were separated from Gen. Harrison's source of troops, ; munitions of war ami provisions b' a trackless and swampy wilderness without roads, and presenting almost insuperable obstacles to the transportation of army supplier while at the same time it was precisely the region of country best adapted to i he. peculiar mode of . warfare "practised by the bold and ferocious Indians. Notvi ithstanding these manifold difficulties, in about tine 3-ear from the time when he was invested with the chief command of the Noi thwestern Army, Gen.'iTarrison drore the enemy from his extended military district, retook Detroit, defeated the combined -army of Proctor and To cumthe on the Thames; conquered ,lhe uppermost Canada, and passed as a vie toiious iLieltain down the seat of. war on the Nitfgara frontier." , " ' ' Does Mr. Parton consider this state ment of facts as not implying much servit e? In proof of its accuracy, let the leeorda of the nation be consulted.' In bis annual report to Congress,' in December, 1813, President Madison speaks of the operations of Gen. Harrison's army in the following terms:' "The success on Lake Erie' having opened a passage to the territory of the enemy, the officer commanding : the Northwestern Army transferred the war thither, and, rapidly pursuing the hostile troops fleeing with their savage as! sociates, forced a general action, which quickly terminated in the capture of the British and the dispersion of the savage force. This result is signally honorable to Major General Harrison, by whoso military talents-it-wa prepared; to ColJ (R. M. ) Johnson arid his mounted volunteers, whose impetuous onset gave a decisive blow to the ranks of the enemy and lo the spirit of the volunteer mili; lia, equally brave anil .patriotic, who bore m interesting part in the scene! more especially to the chief magistrate of Kentucky at the head of them, whose heroism, signalized in the war-which established the independence of his country, sought, at an advanced' age, 'a share m hardships and battles for maintaining its rights and its safety." - " In 1818, the Senate, by an nnnnimous ote, the House concurring with 'only one dissenting voice, passed the following:-- - - ...

"Resolved, By the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the thanks of Congress be, and thry are hereby," presented to Major General William Henry 'Harrison and Isaac Shelby, late Governor of Kentucky, and through them to the officers and men itjder their command, for their gallantry and good conduct in defeating the combined Biitish and 1 ndian forces tin der Major General Proctor-' on the Thames, in Upper Canada,' on the 5th day of .October, 1813, .capturing the British .array, with their baggage, camp equipage." and artillery, and that the 'President cf the United- States be re quested to cause two medals to be struck emblematical of this triumuh nd presented to General Harrison and j Isaac Shelby, late Governor of Ken j tacky." - J Maiden was captured, Blichigan Ter ! litory restored, and the uppermost fan- f d"a conquered' by this capture of the.? British army and the defeat- of the In di:m force, being'all tbe duty Gen. Har rison was required to perform by the instructions sent to him -in September, 1812. Yet Mr. Parton does not consider thi3 as much service. Mr. Ch eves,"-a great orator from South Carolina, thought differently;.- In a speech in congress he says : j . - "The victory of Harrison was such as would have secured to a Roman General, in the best days of the Republic, the 1 onors of a triumph He put an end to the war in the uppermost Canada." t Gov. .Snyder, of Pennsylvania,' also thought differently; In a message to the Legislature he-says : .. .., . "Already is the brow of the youn . wairior, Croghan, encircled with laurels:. f ml the .blessings of thousands of wo men and children, rescued from the s-ealping knife of the ruthless savage of the wilderness, and from the still more savage Proctor, rest on Harrison and his gallaut army." j Gov. Shelby thought differently. , In a letter of April, 1817, to Gen. Ilarri son, he; uses the following language : . "In short, sir, from the time I joined you to the moment of our separation, -1 believe that no commander ever did or could make greater exertions tlun you did to effect the objects of the campaign. I admired your plans, and.thought them executed with great energy; particular dy your order of battle and arrangements for landing on the "Canada shore weie calculated to inspire evry officer and man with a confidence that we could . not be defeated by anything like our own number. . "Until after ..I -had . served the cam p-u2n of 1813, I waS" not aware of the difficulties which you ( had to encounter as commander of the Northwestern Army. , I have since often said, and still do believe, that the duties assigned to you on that occasion were more arduous and difficult to accomplish than any I bad ever kno-vn confided to any commander; and, tvith respect; to the zeal and '. fidelity with which you executed that high and important trust, there are thousands in Kentucky, as well as my.: self, who believed it could not have been committed to better hands." It is well known that Gov. Shelby served in the War of the Revolution un der Gates, Greene and Marion. Col. R. M. Johr.son, whose patriotism, heroism, and severe wounds at the bat tie of the Thames, entitle him to speak, thought differently." In a speech in Congress he said: V- - J "Of the career of Gen: Harrison I need not speak. The history ol the West is his history. For forty years he has been identified with its interests, its perils and its hopes" Universally be-, loved in the walks of peace, and distin guished by his ability in the councils of his country, he has been yet more illustriously distinguished in the field. . Turing the late war he,. was longer in the "service than any general officer f he was

perhaps ofterier In action than " any " one of tbem, and never sustained a defeat,"' Breckinridge, in his History of. the

L War, .thought differently He says : To tho i Northwest our military f fairsVere conducted on a different plan," and under a commander who wass completely successful in wba' he undertook. In the South the war was also confided ' to. a -single individual, who was fully:! competent to the d 11 tie assigned him; Harrison- and Jackson are,' therefore. the only Generals who can be said - to -j have conducted . entire plans of opera lion to a successful issue; and their names are decidedly the most conspicuous in the history of the war." Butler, in his History of Kentucky, uses the following eloquent language ss to the Battle of the Thames? j "The immediate fruit of this victory was the surrender of "the whole British force, amounting. to about 600, including officers, eight pieces of aitillery (three of which had been-at the field of Sara toga and -York .in the Revolution, and surrendered by Gen." Hull at Detroit), with 5,000 stand of small arms." But to measure this victory by these vulgar results would be cruel injustice to its merits. It gave peace to the Northwest it annihilated the enemy there, and was as important to our section of the Confederacy as the more brilliant Battle of New Orleans in the Southwest. Both have been theaters of Kentucky glory, acquired in the only meritorious war fare, the defense of our county. Bot . are National treasures ; they are a part of the moral riches of the country. Let them both repose in the Temple of American Fame, and let their authors both occupy the niches appropriated to patriotic warriors." -1 - - - " t But I will not-pursue this subject fur. ther, though, as a survivor of the.

In the iov:n cf iWphury, a fewnights ago, a cu etijipr called lv Mr. Cassham, one of the Parlimentary can didates, was invailed by, an organized party of fr.cnds of his opponenet, Mr. Seargeant Simon, who kicked up such4 a row that Cassham was unable to speak a single word.

' ii..Thisi was kept, up until Cassham retired in disgust, and. the free and independent voters dispersed. , Japanese officials have adopted a ver3r effective method of silencing all opposition to a recent large issue of paper money in "that country. They cut off the heads of those who utter, any complaints about currency, and this quiets the grumbling of the party thus treated, and throws a wholesome awe and respect for the Government and its currency over his friends and associates.. ; ' We hare at list foucd tbe oaa unreconstructed Southerner, the Rebel who will not.be comforted.

r-Earlr Printers. - i- t The first printers were Titans, fend they performed a Titanic work.' They were no mere skillful mechanic, or plodding artizans. They Were, what indeed the exigencies "of theirtaafc required them to bo, scholars,' patriot, philanthropists, among the first of their

e. - They were men of large intelligence, with a . right conception of tbe new power which printin-; had introd iced Jnto the world, and . a clear cons. ioulness that they were" laboring for the" illumination and improvement of the species. And they . caught the tn. spiration of their lofty mission.? -They addressed themselves to their work with the hearts , of heroes, and in the spirit o martyrs. ' Their difficulties were enormous. The early printer had often Jdmself to prepare the work he was to print, either by translation or by origin al authorship... He had to make his .own printing-press, to found his own types, and manufacture his own ink.
