The Dirty Linen of the Loyal. Thnrlow Weed, the (Jrcat Recollector of Albany, seems to have volunteered his Bcrvicces in tho capacity of washer-woman to thc Abolition party of New York, and thequan

tity of dirty linen which he is washing and wrenching out for the edification of the public is really astounding. He published a letter some time ago, exposing the grossest corruptions and the most rapacious swindling of the Government on the part of Isaiah Hend

erson, of The Evening Post, Greeley, of The Tribune, Ex-Mayor Opdyke, Dudley Field) Hiram Ketchum, and other leading lights of the loyal party. His charges were fiercely

denied in the Post and Tribune, and in cards from Field and thc others, but Weed again returns to the attack, and clinches his pre

vious charges with affidavits and a superabundance of testimony. - Tho charges against Henderson were appositely sustained by Old Abe himself, who had him arrested upon the charges of fraud and corruption before the ink was dry on the paper in which hedenicd Weed's expose. Greeley says in his card that the eharges against him were a "silly joke," but jokes are not usually founded upon and sustained by official documents. Weed clinches all his charges agaiust the ring of loyal thieves who have fattened u pontile unclean drippings of thc war. This is exclusively a family quarrel, all parties belonging to the Abolition party, and all parties are loud in their support of Lincoln and thc war. The testimony is daily accumulating to prove the present Administration and its supporters thc most rapacious, corrupt and heartless set of vanipyres that ever fattened upon a public treasury or grew rich upon the misfortunes and calamities of a people.

To give

the negro is as good a soldier as the white man, and, perhaps, better. They prove it by the testimony of all scribblers from the front who belong to a particular school. The purpose is to teach presently that tho negro has a capacity equal to the white man, that he

is as good a voter, and that he will make as good an office holder. We are not disposed to cavil at the position of these white Abolitionists. If anv

one of them believes that a negro is as good a soldier, voter or officeholder as he is, we admit it without debate ; and if the white man can't do better in matters of government than he has done for tho last three or four years, we admit without debate that the negro, or the monkey, if you please, can do as well. Some of the pioneers of progress seem to think that miscegenation may improve the race. We grant again, without dobate, that it may improve some white men ; but would it not spoil the negro ? Wc don't know that the white man is not a failure. When wc recollect what he once appeared to la and what he is now, he re

minds us of a field of grain that grows up like wheat and turns out all cheat Unless thc white man can do better than he has done lately, it is no ?reat compliment to thc negro to put him on an equality, or even to say he is better. That he might be, and not be much either. 8 A Washington correspondent of the St Louis Union gives the following trustworthy anecdote of Gen. M'Clellan. It has not yet appeared in the columns of our truthful cotemporary the Bnnner, and presuming it has escaped the notico of the editors, we here call their attention to it, hoping they will place it on record with the other Moncl a jsenjproductions for which its columns alone are noted :

Mr. Fcttit now moved that the Convention go into the nomination of candidates, and he proposed Hon. Joseph E. McDonald, of Ma

rion, for Governor. Mr. Dodd proposed Hon. L. P. Milligan, of Huntington. On the first ballot McDonald received 1,097 votes, Milligan 190. McDonald's nomiuationwas declared unanimous. On motion of Mr. Pettit, the Convention

proceeded to ballot for Lieutenant Governor. L. P. Milligan, of Huntington ; Lafo Devc, lin, of Wayne, and David Turpie, of White were put in nomination. Mr, TuTpie, while this ballot progressed, retired from the chair, calling Hon. W. E. Niblack, of Knox, to preside. Mr. Milligan withdrew his name, declaring himself for Joseph E. McDonald and the

whole ticket to be nominated. He had been

Mr. McDonald's competitor for tho gubernatorial nomination, but now he was one ot those who would enter heart and soul into

the work of seeming his election. And tri

umphantly he would be elected. Gloriously

would the freemen of Indiana sustain the old Democratic doetrinc and assert our right to be free. Mr. Devclin also withdrew his name while tho balloting was progressing, and Mr. Turpie was nominated by universal acclamation. The Chairman appointed Hon. Mr. Cobb, of Lawrence, and II. H. Dodd, of Marion, to wait upon Mr. Turpie and inform him of his nomination. On motion, thc Convention proceeded to the nomination of other candidates for State offices. For Secretary of state, James S. Athon was unanimously nominated. For Treasurer of State, Mathcw L. B.ett was unanimously nominated. For Auditor of State, Joseph Ristine was unanimously nominated. For Attorney General, Oscar B. Ilord was unanimously nominated.

On motion, the present Supremo Bench, consisting of Judges Perkins, Hanna, Worden and Davison, were unanimously nominated. For Supremo Court Reporter, there was some contest between the friends ofMessrs. Ilamill, Alvord, Hibben, Long, Dunn and

Vance. The result was the nomination of Ethclbert C. Hibben, of Rush, on the second ballot, he receiving 642 votes. His nomination was immediately ratified unanimously.

2. That we disapprove of, and condemn the

action of Governor Morton in establishing a ! "financial bureau," an institution unknown to the -Constitution, the laws, and the usages of tho State of Indiana; in securing, disbursing and squandering thc funds of the State; in borrowing money on the faith of the State and pledging the property and the energies of the people to pay 9uch loans, and interest

thereon, and in paying out such money in open and flagrant disregard of the Constitu-

tion and laws ot the rtate, without any ap

propriation directing the payment thereof,

and without any ot tne checks and safeguards that the wisdom and experience of thc past

have demonstrated were necessary lor the safety, preservation and economical expenditure of the money of the people of the State.

3. That the suppression of the right of the writ of habeas corpus in States or places not in actual rebellion, and the suppression of the freedom of speech and of the press by the Administration, are alike crimes against civilization and the highest hopes and interests of mankind. 4. That the profligate and reckless expen

diture of thc public treasure by the adininis- j tration, and its criminal inefficiency in the management of the general business and finances of thc country, always either leading to or directly tolerating public immorality, or the shameless dishonest waste of the peoples' money, have brought the nation to the verge of bankruptcy and general rum. 5. That the suppression of newspapers; the arrest of citizens without warrant, and

their confinement in prison without examination or trial: the denial of the ripht of as-

sylum, and forcible seizure of subjects of foreign powers and their delivery to agents of such Governments, without law or treaty, arc criminal violations of civil liberty and the rights and priviliges secured to the citizen ami alien under thc American Constitution. 0. That the failure of the Administration to promptly pay disabled or discharged soldiers, and pensions to widows and children whose husbands and fathers have fallen in battle or died in camp or by thc way side, and the readiness with which the powers at Washington audit and pay shoddy contractors, officers and placemen ofthc government, are cruel wrongs to thc destitute and deserving, and merit thc withering scorn of thc American people. 7. That the noble and patriotic son? of Indiana, who, for love of ccuntry and a restoration of thc Union ns established by our

lathers, have sacrificed the endearments of

'I he engagement lasted a little over one hour, when the Alabama it ruck her colors and sank in about twenty minutes, many of her crew going down with her. Capt Semmes and a number of his men were picked up by an Knglish yacht and taken off. They are claimed as prisoners of war by the Kearsage, but it is questionable if the IJrit ish government will give them up. The Ala

bama is said to have destroyed about twenty million dollars worth of property during her career.

Lincoln has issued a special proclamation for the benefit of Kentucky. It declares the State under martial law and authorises the enlistment of negro soldiers, a procedure that was somewhat unpopular in the State, and thc threatened residence no doubt prompted thc proclamation. The functions of Goy. Uramlctte, as the Executive of the State, are virtually suspended. It looks as if the administration was endeavoring to force Kentucky to side with thc rebels. It is rumored that Secretary Chase is about to visit Europe as an Agent of the Government in hopes of being able to negotiate a foreign loan. The States of New York and Ohio have

virtually repudiated their debt, especially !

Maximilian has been regularly installed as Emperor of Mexico. He is endeavoring to restore peace and harmony by reconciling the factional Chiefs, but thus far has met with rather poor success. Thc rebels have made another raid in considerable force into Maryland, and sexiotisly threatened Washington and Baltimore. They again captured Harper's Ferry and destroved thc Raltiinore and Ohio Railroad. A
