TBBRE-HAUTE:

WEDNESDAY-- MAV 27. 1863

WE arc informed by a citizen of this city, that while in the law office of 0, B. FICXLIN, Esq., in the town of Charleston, Ills., on Monday, he listened to a conversation which then and there took place, between the following named individuals, to-wit: DANIEL W. VOORIIEES, JAMES 0. ROBINSON, JOHN EDEN, THORNTON, and a few others of similar sentiments. Mr. YOORHKES stated that he had ten thousand men organized in his District, all of whom would rally to his call in twelve hours notice.

JNC ROBINSON, in very bad English, Baid be and his friends were banded together in his District, and bad sworn one to the other to kill the first officer who attempted to make any more arrests of deserters there.

THORNTON of Shelbyville, said he had enough money ready to pay tho exemption fee of every drafted man in his District, &c. If such is the case, it will be the first time since the war commenced, that the butternuts there have contributed anything towards supporting the Governmenl.

Hci-e are three or four men who announce their purpose to evade the law or resist it by calliDg out their forces if neod be. They assume to be the leaders of the butternut Democracy and claim to be good Union men. How absurd and ill-founded are their pretensions?

Very well DANEBL, just call outjvour ten thousand men, and proceed to try your valor •and theirs in a conflict with the Federal Government. Don't delay tho matter, but commence at once. The government is ready now for the attack. We suppose of courso that you will command the forces in person. It would be cowardly not to do BO, and no man would dare accuse you of having that virtue. You should give commands to Messrs. EDEN, THORNTON, ROBINSON—poor JIM. is more than anxious for a fight—and OBADIAH BUSTAMENTO FICKLIN, should by no kind of hocus-pocus bo deprived of a command. He was in the Black Hawk war, and his resources in strategy would beofimmense valuo to you. By all means securo his services. Gould we not persuade you to make Gol. COOKERLY chicfof-staff Mount him on a buckboard, and inform him that the enemy has no Inkstands to shoot at him, and ho will obey your orders in the most gallant stylo. The ten thousand would certainly be officered by "Cavaliers" and "gentlemen." Imagine them forming in line of battle to nt~ tack a few regiments of African Zouaves, their gallant leader mounted on ono of KRUMBUAAU'S old grays, full of pompous Southorn blood, and ready on the application of tho spurs, to chargo with great swiftness, &c.

It would be a terrible and grand scene.

The Draft.

Tho enrollment, under the conscript law, commenccd in this District on yesterdry, and will be completed at tho oarlliost possible moment. It is said that Indiana has furnished moro men than her quota heretofore called for, and that she will, of course, be duly credited for Buch excess. Also, during tho last throo months a great many volunteers have been obtained by'rocruiting officers iu different parts of the State, for which tho respective counties and townships will bo proparly ci edited.

We learn further, that Gov. MORTON has obtained a promiso from the War Depart" raent, that Indiana shall receive crcdit for tho negro soldiers taken from her limits. This is right and proper. It is unfair that Massachusetts should fill her requisition for troops, with the fighting men of other States

As Indiana and Illinois have furnished men, largely in addition to tho requisition inado upon them by tho War Department, tho draft will probably bo quite light upon their peoplo.

Thcro are some discontented men in both •Statos, who have, from the beginning, opposed tho war and sympathized with tho enoiny, who will in all probability causo the Government some troublo by resisting tho conscription, but such persons will be punished in such a manner as will deter others from following their example. With ono moro united and firm effort of tho loyal peoplo, tho rebellion will bo destroyed. It cannot possibly last very much longer.— Within twelve months from this time, unless soino overwhelming misfortune 'aside from the ordinary course of events should befal the Federal arms, it will certainly bo so nearly crushed, as to no longer threaten the Government in any very formidable manner. It is necessary, to achieve this result, that our nrmv bo made stronger by filling tho places of thoso brave men who have fallen in the conflict, or been disabled by wounds or sickness. No man of patrio'ic impulses wilUhesitate in this matter, whatever may be his party predilections. No man who has the heart, of a true American, will endeavor to impose barriers in the way of the execution of the draft. It falls upon all alike, and all alike should submit to its sway. Tho war must end sometime, and it must end in such a manner as will restoro tho Federal authority and overthrow the Confedorato power finally and forever. By unity in the North in the support of tho Government, this purpose will soon bo accomplished. It is tho duty then of all good citizens to counsel their

friends to obey tho laws cheorfully. It can not be expected that all tho movements ofj fmvo

the Government will be in accordance with tho wishes of every ono of its citizens, but becauso such is not the case, those who disscut from its policy have no right to consider themselves released from thefr obligations to support it. Wo trust, therefore that in this District no opposition of a belligerent character will bo mado to the fair execution of the conscript law. Every good citizen owes it to his country and the cause for which our army now struggles, to lend his influence to peace and good order during the time the enrollment is taking place hero. It is no dishonor to be drafted, when tho Government thinks proper to raiso its armies in that way. Thoso who escape the draft by niero chance, or from any other causo, arc no

moro

patriotic than those who are drafted.— They all submit to chances, and tho difference not in tho matter of patriotism, but in that iof mere luck

Wm. McClelland, a guu-smith cf

Albion, Noblo Co., attempted to commit suicide on the 14th inst., iu a fit of insanity brought on by a fear of arrest as a disloyal man. He had sent for a box of revolvers which had been seized as contraband, and notification given him to report at Indianapolis, and provo his loyalty. Tho Noble County Herald says ho was instigated to it by designing men. It also says that "a loyal Democrat was in his shop previous to the revolvers arriving there but after ho had received a bill of them, and that he remarked to this gentleman that he had received a bil

his revolvers, and that he ought to purchase one-that he had sent for a few more thap had been engaged, and that it was time that every Democrat was armed."

THE State Journal says: The soldiers oj Grant's army have been guilty of an outrage on "Democratic rights." The Constitution, Merrick and Voorhees affirm, is as sacred in Mississippi as in Ohio, yet the soldiers suppressed the Jackson Mississippian and gutted the office. This is clearly contrary "to the Constitution as it was," and is probably another instance of persecution for opinion's sake. A few days before, the editor of the Mississippian, Dumble, who went South with letters of recommendation from Vallandigham, grew Democratically indignant at his arrest. The Memphis Bulletin says:

The Mississippian is indignant iu the last degree that Vallandigham should have been arrested. It quotes Scripture and pours out its wrath on the "Yankees."

What will the Copperheads do about this interference with the free speech of Democrats who choose to differ with the Admin istration Will they denounce Grant as well as Burnside, and patronize Dumble as well as Elder

The Indiana Regiments at Vicksburg. The following Indiana troops were engaged in the great battles at Vicksburg, to-wit: The 8th, 11th, lGth, 18th, 23d, 24th, 34th, 43d, 46th, 47th, 48th, 49th, 54th, 59th, (iOth, G7th, 69th, 83d, 89th, 93d, 97th, 100th, and the 1st cavalry, numbering in all twentythree regiments.

The army of Gen. GRANT was made up almost entirely of Indiana and Illinois troops, and they have added still greater renown to their respective States. Their achievements are among the most brilliant in history, and Gen. GRANT has approached the Napoleonic system of warfare nearer than has any other American General. Hi* eighteen days campaign, from tho battle of Magnolia to the the capture of the water batteries at Yicksburg, is the most brilliant in the warfare of this Continent, and would lose but little, if anything, iu comparison with tho best campaigns ol the 1st NAPOLEON.— Tho charge of cowardice made by JEKF. DAVIS against tho Indiana troops at Buena Vista, has been washed out in the blood of his minions. The Cavalier has again gone down before the superior endurance and indomitable valor of the Puritans as the rebel loaders choose to call the Federal troops.— Over tho I033 of so many brave men the country mourns, but over tho grandeur of our achievements every loyal heart swells with the proudest exultation.

Vicksburg.

by

Tho battles which have been fought tho army of the Tennessee, under the com mand of Gen. GRANT, for the possession of Vicksburg, aro among tho severest of the whole war. and the results are of tho highest importance to the country. In these conflicts the valor of veterans has been displayed and acts of the noblest heroism performed. Tho endurance of tho Union troops, as well as their bravery, has been thorougly tested in the scries of battles which have been fought for the possession of that rebel stronghold.— The successes of tho Federal arms will form the most brilliant portion of our history. The stake fought for was of immense consequenco to tho Northwest, and her troops have vindicated their title .to the lasting graitude of her people, and reflected iraporishablo honor upon themselves.

This series of battles, ono following the other directly, has scarcely a parallel in his tory for brilliant fighting and rapid movements. Tho strategy of Gen. GRANT was only equalled by tho indomitable valor of his troops. He has now proved himself to bo one of tho very first commandors of tho age, and perhaps no other of our Generals has drawn upon himself a greater share of tho public confidence.

But while our people aro onthusiastic over theso victories, they do not forget that tho sacrifice has been indeed great. Tho loss in killed and wounded is very heavy. For tho wounded our people should render every assistance in their power. Sanitary stores should bo collected and forwarded to their relief. The battls3 have been fought principally by Indiana and Illinois troops, and their friends at home should sparo no expense or trouble to mako the wounded, sick, and exhausted comfortable as their positions will illow. tny of tho wounded will probably bo sent on transports to Memphis, Evansville, and other points where their wants can bo mote easily supplied, than wlioro tliey aio now.

Further nows from the scene of tho conflict will be looked for by the peoplo with much interest. Asa list of the killed and wounded come in, grief will bo cniried to many a household in our State. So far as we are able, we shall publish tiie names of the wounded and killed of tho Regiments belonging to this State.

Success to the Negro Regiments. [From Letter of Gen. Hunter t« Gov. Andrew. 1 HEADQUARTERS DEP'T OF THE sorm,

HILTON HEAP, PORT ROYAL,S. C. May 4th, 1SG3. To His Excellency the Governor of Massachusetts, Boston, Mass.:

I am happy to bo ablo to aunouco to you my complete and eminent satisfaction with tho results of tho organization of negro regiments in this Department. In tho field, so far as tried, they have proved brave, active, enduring and encrgetie, frequently outrunning, by their zeal and familiarity with tho Southern country, the restrictions deemed prudent by certain of their ofTicces. They by pillage or cruelty, but have so conducted themselves, upon tho whole, that even our enemies, though more anxious to find fault with these than with any other portion of our troops, not yet been able to allege against them a single violation of any of the rules of civilized warfare.

These regiments are hardy, generous, temperate, patient, strictly obedient, possessing great natural aptitude for arms, and deeply imbued with that religious sentiment—call it fanaticism, such as like-which made the soldiers of Cromwell invincible, They believe that now is the time appointed by God for their deliverance ..nd uuder the heroic incident of this faith, I believe them capable of showing a courage and persistency of purpose which must in the end extort both victory and admiration.

In this connection, I am also happy to announce to you that the prejudices of certain of our white soldiers and officers against theso indispensable allies arc rapidly softning or Hiding out and that wo have now open-' ing before us in this Department, which was the first in tho present war to inaugurate the experiment of employing colored troops, large opportunities of putting '.hem to distinguished and profitable use.

With a brigade of liberated slaves already in the field, a few more regiments of intelligent colored men from the North would soon place this force in a condition to make extensive incursions upon the main land, thro' the most densely populated slave regions and from expeditions of this character I make no doubt the most beneficial results would arise.

I have the honor to bo, Governor, Very respectfully, Your most obedient servant,

D. HUNTER, Maj. Gen. Com.

Heroes and Savages.

Tho moral strabismus of the Rebels will be a marvel in philosophy to some future Sir DAVID BREWSTER in ethics. Upon every subject connected with the Rebellion they exhibit the most remarkable obliquity of vis ion. And this defect is not confined to their ignorant classes. On the contrary, it seems to afflict their great leaders with the greatest intensity. We have a signal example of this in the remarks of one of their most influen tial organs on Colonel GRIEBSON'S recent gallant achievement in making a cavalry charge across tho entire State of Mississippi

This exploit is held by the Charleston Mercury as one that puts GUIERSON, PRINET and their bravo companions oataide of the pale of civilized warfare, and justified hunt ing them down like "highwaymen, savages or wild beasts of the forest." What poor, mean spite is this When STUART, LEE, MORGAN, FOREST and their other famous raiders were galloping through our lines, breaking up our raiiroads, burning our bridges, destroying our depots of stores appropriating our private stocks of shoes and clothing, and stealing our horses, those were gallant achievements, and exulted over with the utmost expressions of praise. Such exploits did not plaee STUART and MORGAN outsite of the pale of civilized warfare but exalted them into heroes of romance I What a howl there would have been if the people of the loyal States had proposed to hunt them down "like savages and wild beasts of the forest 1"

J.cttcr from a JLoynl Southern Gentleman. [From the National Intclligeccer.]

A recent visit to and a constant correspondence with the South, has. convinced tho writer of this article of the correctness of the views advanced in his communication to your valuable paper some months since. The fanatics on both sides who have asserted that the people of the South bavo been and arc a unit in their antagonism to the United States Government arc in tho wrong, and the falsity of their assertions fs every day becoming apparent- Every Southerner knows that a majority of the white population of his particular section, arc not in favor of establishing any stronger form of government than that set up by our fathers, and that they have no interest in, but, on the contrary, have an interest against the maintainanco of slavery, which only operates in competition with their labor. Every Southerner knows there are not over two hundred thousand persons, all told, in that portion of the United States now in rebellion, who are directly interested as slavo owners in upholding slavery, and that a majority of them are not disposed to abandon a republican form of government as a failure. It is truo that the politicians of the South who fomented and still control tho rebellion, do regard a monarchy as tho best form of government, and have been and are laboring insidiously to get their opinion adopted by the peoplo who put them in power. They have already established a rigid militay despotism, which, so long as the war continues, will answer their purposes well enough, but in tho event their rebellion were to provo a success, which is new more improbable than ever, what would become of them in caso their armies were disbanded before some stronger form of government were adopted and organized They have pondered well upon this question. They know what in that event would bo thei fato.

Tho writer of this article, having been born iu tho South, having always resided there, and having been iu five of thoseccded States within the last six months, is perhaps better qualified to judge of public sentiment in the South than those who have never been there Those residing elsewhere, who are known as sympathizers with the South," arc not entitled to be so designated. They do not sympathize with tho majority of tho white population of tho South, but with tho politicians that aro riding them to their ruin.

The question is often asked, why, if such be the state of the case, do not the masses in the South rise up, and, after deposing the rulers, return to theirallegiance Tt is easily answered. They lack arms, munitions of war, and organization, all of which are in tho despotic control of Mr. Jefferson Davis and his confederates. After having been abandoned to their fate in portions ol Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia, and Texas, bv our government, it is not to be expected that the people of any portion of tho seceded States will now declare themselves for tho Union until they see clearly th.it they will receive permanent protection.

It is not at all strange that M. Jefferson Davis's health seems to bo giving way under the pressure to which hn has been, is, and must continue to be, subjected. What, has become of tho flutterinduecmonts held out by him and his associates in the conspiracy to us, tho people the South? Have wo had peaceable secession?" Has tho export duty on cotton tilled the treasury of the so called Southern Confederacy by paying the interest on the bonds issued by Mr. Memmingcr? Have the reat Powers of Europe intervened and pened our ports? Have the Democrats of tho North held their party tie stronger than their allegiance to their government, and consented to help out the treason of thoso who regaid a republican foun of government as a failure? Thus far, wh it have tho leaders of the South gained by the war they inaugurated save a stay of execution Thcv know their doom is fixed, and I hey are only fighting for delay. If such is not the case, why arc so many ol the knowing ones among them occupied in converting, at a ruinous •acrifice, their assets into gold or sterling exchange? Where has Gen. Sterling Price sent his personal effects, and why? Where havo Floyd, Slidcll, and a host of the con tractors of the so-called Confederacy, put their available means? Wli_y aro millions worth of exchange and gold, not to speak of government cotton, quietly escaping out of tho limits of Secessia by the only safe route loft open by the neglect of President Lincoln's administration—by way of Mata moras

Tho Northern men with Southern principles who, like Slidcll, have ridden the South for years past, and yet ride it, have a prudent consideration for the future.— Though, like rata, they may instinctively desert their sinking ship, they havo their hoards for future use in places of safety abroad

Mr. Montgomery, of the Vicksburg Whig, tells a good story of the landlord of a hotel at Holly Springs, Miss. It was a large, fashionable hotel, and the landlord was a pompous man, with a large corporosity and a ruffled shirt bosom. Printed bills of fare were provided, yet the landlord stood at the head of the table, at dinner, and in a load voice read off the list of articles in a rhym« ing way: "Here's boiled ham, and raspberry jam baited potatoes, and cooked tomatoes, turnips smashed, and squashes squashed and so on. Mr. M. asked him, afterward, why he read it aloud when printed copies were on the table. "Force of habit." replied the landlord "got so used to it I can't help it, You see, I commenced business down here in Jackson," (the capital of Mississippi,) "and most all the legislature boarded with me. There wasn't a man of 'em could read, so I bad to read the bill of fare to 'em."—Exchange.

The latest fashionable innovation was

recently seen at the dinner party of a great official, namely, tho photograph of the giver of the good cheer on the back of the bill of fare of the dinner, one of which was supplied to each guest.

A Wholesale Dry Goods House is

about to bo started in this city devoted to wholesaling exclusively. This is an excellent point for such a house, and we have often wondered that such an one was not established.

A BIG TAX.—Tho Princeton (Ind.) Clarion says tho excise tax paid on whisky by Mr. A Mauck of tho Paloka distillery, for the past three months, amounts to the pretty little sum of $15,167 60, or an average of $5,000 per month.

A Now York paper suggcslr that

each county in the loyal States erect a mon ument with thcjiamc of every soldier from that county who has fallen, or may fall during the war, inscribed upon it. A good suggestion, which, if carried out, would give us the honor of surpassing ,'all nations iu times past or present in doing honor to our he­

roes. {pgp Col. Wm. E. McLean, of the 43d Indiana, arrived in the city last evening,direct from ports below.

The 43d was not in the brilliant series of engagements before Vicksburg, having been left "out in tho cold" at Helena, doing garrison duty. All the other Indiana regiments iu that section, including the lltli, were engaged.

A TARTAR CUSTOM.—The Tartars pull "a man by the car when they want him to drink, and keep pulling him until he opens his mouth, when they pour down the liquor.— We know a number young gentlemen in this city whoso ears would not havo to be pulled very long if there was any drinking to be done.

The telegraph operators at Grand

Last week, unknown to Owosso, Grand Rapids called in tho assistance of a superior player, and, much to Owosso's sur" prise, he found Grand Rapids winning all the time.

IfW*Adjutant General Thomas has organized eleven African regiments on the Mississippi. As every such regiment raised lessons the number of men to be raised under the conscript act, it, is suspected that Copperheads will not oppose tho enlistment as a means of making political capital, and will seize on Vallandighani's arrest as the best means of putting themselves in power.

An old fellow in Cass county wrote

to his nephew in tho army, and in tho course of his letter said, "Let mo give you some advice. Got out of the army as soon as vou can. If you need any money to purchase citizen's clothes to got away in, I will send it to you. The nephew thought, he could us the spare change of his uncle to advnnt'igr and wrote him to send him pcventy-fivo do! lars. It was sent at once. The nephew gave fifty dollars to tho Sanitary Com mission, and kept the balance for contingent expenses.

{gj^~!n tho Court of Sessions at Troy, New York, some days since, a prisoner being on trial on a charge ol larceny, in stealing, among other things, several (factional notes or shinplasters ijsucd by the cities of Troy and Albany, his counsel objected to tho reception of any evidence relating to the crime so far as the bills were concerned, reading from the revised statutes to show that as the notes were not issued by corporations having the requisite authority, they were of no value. Judge Robertson held that tho point was good, and ruled out all evidence relating to theso fractional promises to pay. This is virtually a decision that to steal shinplastcrs is no crime.

BSpThc rebels report their loss in goncral officers in the recent battles on the Rappahannock, as follows: Lieutenant General Jackson, dead Brigadier General Thomas, killed General A. P. Hill, wounded Brigadier General Paxton, killed Brigadier General McGowan, wounded Brigadier General Heath, wounded Brigadier General Nichols, wounded, leg amputated and Brigadier Gen eral Hope, wounded. Every Staff officer of A. P. Hill, were either killed, wounded or captured. Half of General Jackson's Staff shared the same fate. In Mississippi they have lost General Tracy, killed in the battle of Magnolia, and General Tilghman, killed in the battle of the lGth near Big Black river.

Deputy Marshal Smith overhauled a

man yesterday morning, who,having cat too much com that had passed through the worm of the still" was so wormy that locomotion had ceascd. He was placed on a dray, deposited in the calaboose, and left to his reflections. In the afternoon we noticed Assistant Marshal Sibley having in tow a similar specimen, which he had captured in the northern part of the city. A "woman of tho town" who had imbibed too freely was also deprived of her liberty by tho Marshal. Evil-doers should keep from under the eagle eye of our watchful police force,

***No Peace tVilh Rebels. No man at the North who is heartily loyal to the great causo of civil and political liberty,\o the Union of these States* and to the Government by which (hat Union is maintained, can desire peace in tiieso days. Any peace that conld be made now would be a confession of national defeat and disgrace, and the foreranner either of perrna* nent national decline or of renewed and more terrible war. The truth is, and it is well it should be clearly understood, that this war is not to end with any treaty of peace, any arrangement with our enemies that it is not to bo closed by any special event, that there is to be no celebration of peace but that, on the coutrary, peace is to come gradually, without terms, by slow process. For the national authorities havo no power to treat for peace with rebels. The war is not between two nations, each of which can bccome a high contracting party of a treaty. The war is between a nation and rebels against the CoBstitution,-the laws and the government of that nation. The rebels havo no character which either in reality, or by any figment or prctence, can enable them to become parties to a treaty of peace. It is well said that "to establish our nationality on a firm and permanent basis wo can have no dealings with the rcbols except as with criminals who havo no civil rights as with men to whom nothing can be conceded, and with whom consequently nil idea of compromise is out, of the question." We have nothing to ask, the rebel nothing to give, but submission. We want no peacc, we will have no pence with traitors.

Disloyal men in the free States,—the advocates Of'national dishonor,'in their endeavors to pervert the judgment, and to corrupt the moral sense of tho people are clamorous for peace. But the peoplo aro not yet ready to follow the lead of the allies of traitors. The General Assembly of Ohio gave a truer expression to the purpose of the nation, in declaring that "wo will have no armistice, that we can fight as long as rebels and traitors can that tho war shall go on until law is restored."1 Yes! until law is restored. No matter about peace peace will follow, not precede the restoration of law.

Disappointment, military failure but confirm the spirit of the nation. There can bo no doubt, that as soon as the South fairly understands the truth, that we will never give up, that our defeats no less than our victories deepen our resolution, increase our moral power, and strengthen our convictions of the worth of our cause—when the South understands this there can bo no doubt as to the result. The South began by believii.^ that we would not fight then finding that we were ready for war, if it were forced upon us, it believed that we should soon tire of it and give in. This delusion is passing away and the rebels aro learning that the determination of the nation i3 equal to its power— and that these combined are in the long run irresistible. The shrewd men at the South already begin to see that the question is narrowed down now ns to whose resources will hold out longopt, and to recognize that to this there is but one answ er. Surprisod by the steady tenacity of purpose of the Northern people, not having counted on their firm adherence to principle at whatever cost, not knowing that Ihc love of the Union was inspired by referenco for justice and devotion to liberty,—the SoutLe.n loaders now see their fatal error. They had judged the North by the South, and they ha1 judged it wrongly. They now see that ttie resources and tho will of the nation arc practically inexhaustible, and they will soon see, if they do not sco it already, that no cho»cc is loft for the rebels but submission or extermination.

All talk about peace then, every suggestion of the possibility of peace with rebels every effort of this kind to distract the counsels or to weaken the will of the nation, tends to prolong the war, to increase the suffoiing ofHho South. "The cry for peace is treachery,'^ay tho unconditional Union men of the harder States. Let if, be so regarded everywhere, let the South be deprived of tho .fropn that- this cry gives it, and the way is opened for that submission which is the only menus of peace. When the Soulh sub mils then peace will return till then there is nothing but war. This submission implies the restoration of law, tho establishment of liberty, tho integrity of the Union and to securo those objects the nation will fight as long as may bo necessary, and it will never make peace with rebels.

No loyal Democrat, need feel any degree of yensiliveni.vi in tho term Copperhead as applied to the lories. If the shoo docs not fit him he need not put it on. There is no mistaking a Copperhead. The Pittsburgh GaztHe thus describes tho infamous wretches:

FIRST—We define a "Copperhead" to ho anv m»»- wo care nol. to what,"parly he belongs, iv 1 ui loves and sympathizes with the rebellion, more than with his loynl North, whose heart and mouth are full of excusos for the rebels, and of complaints against his own Government who is constantly interpreting the Constitution so as to shield those who have repudiated and spurned it and sons to crippleand embarrass those whose first and only duty it should be to suppress the rebellion and hang rebels who is wondcrlully silent about rebel thefts, murders, cruelties, tyrannies, and every species of villainy, and abomination and yet who is noisy and malicious if the Government attempts to do anything which might not be considered an regie in time of profound ponce, and finally, we consider a Copperhead every man who docs not go with all his heart and soul, means and energies for the Government nod the very of the Rebulio against any State, party or upstart pretence of Government whatever. Always twisting and coutortiri" the Constitution to damage an destroy ourselves, and build up such is have rejected that very Constitution, and at the same time oroken up the country and deluged it with fraternal blood, is notjust the thing for a true patriot.

Other functions attach to the true Copperhead, by which ho may be may be known of all men. lie delights to pass his time in depreciating the currency in prating about the horrors of the war, and the blessings of pcace in croaking about the failure of our military enterprises in depreciating Union and exaggerating rebel victories in poison-

utiu eAuggvfiitiiiu ICUUI victories in ing the minds of soldierfi against the cause, and fomenting discontent and counselling disobedience to tho laws of the land. If this class of misehicvous persons number more Democrats in their tanks than members of other parties, so much the worse for that party, and wo aro glad to know that these venomou3 Copperheads aro repudiated and denounced by ail good and worthy Democrats.

TAB Minnesota Pioneer says the roils ol the hostile Sioux show that they have about five thousand warriors, who have been at large on the plains, concocting plans for further depredations as soon as the season would permit them to move.

M^j. Gen, Rosecrans on Slavery. For some weeks past a controveisy h»s been going on between The "Cath olic Telegraph of Cincinnati, edited- by, the Very Rev. £. Purcell, brother of tho distinguished Archbishop of Oincien&tti, and? a pro-Blavery Catholic journal of that city.The learned editor of tho Telegraph insists and proves that the Catholic Church and Slavery have never got along well together that the Ghurch abolished that peculiar institution wherever she came in contact with it, and that it is ouly in America Catholics have ever beet* found advocating Slavery^— Tho controversy has called forth tho following letter from Mnj. Gen. Rosecrans, wbicb appears in a late number of the Telegraph. The editor says "He (Rosecrans) has never be«n an Abolitionist, and has, like ourselves, stood up for the Democracy."

MuaraxssBOBO, April 27, 1863.

MY DKAK. FATHER EDWABS :—The rebels grabbed the last letter I wrote you, but they will draw very little consolation from its contents. 1 am happy to see the splendid stand you took in the Telegraph against Slavery, with its horrors, barbarities, and base immoralities. Slavery is dead Nothing can resuscltite it. To learn this fact fully, you should pay us a visit. There is not a negro in tho South who does not know ho is free. Around here they have squatted on tho plantations, and refuse to work tor anyone but themselves. They have sown little crops of their own, and tho masters have ceased to exertiso any control over tbem..

As an indication, 1 will cite a srong case, The lady of the house where lam staying attempted to punish ono of her negro women this morning. I had to step in to save the mistress from beiug badly used up, as the darkey was belaboring her with the. stick intended for her own punishment "Ex una disce omnes." It is needless for me'to say that I applaud everv sentiment you have expressed in the Telegraph. Your course is that of the prudent navigator, who, watching the black speck on the horizon, sees it expand into a portentous storm, and calls up his crew to take in sail and prepare for a contest with tho elements. The storm will pass away and you will be found sailing under full sail, while those who took not heed will be scattered by the gale. I am heart and hand with you in this cause. Slavery is doomed, and thoso who would now uphold it will be held up in a very short time to public odium and execration. No statesman will vindicate it, no friend of human progress will stretch forth a hand to break its fall, no lover of humanity and religion will grieve for its overthrow. I havo lived long enough in tho South to sso its workings, its disgusting features, debasing the higher principles of our nature, warring with relig ion, and patronizing vice and immorality.—

Almighty God has certainly ordained its destruction in this couutry, whero it has been more offensive and immoral than in any other, and until it is utterly extinct this war cannot, from the nature of things, cease. I am in favor of a cessation of hostilities at as early a day as possible therefore, I am in favor of the President's Proclamation. This State was made lor white people and free labor, and when Slavery no longer blights its borders wo may expect to sec the church and the school house take the place of the slavo pen and market.

An Amusiug Episode ol the Grierson Jiaid. The most audacious and amusing episode of the Grieison raid is thus related by a correspondent of the Times. The actcrs in it were a squad of .'15 men, under Capt. Forbos, detached from the main body

He followed oa to Enterprise and merclied with his little squad into town, where ho found about .'1,000 rebel troops just getting off the cars. He promptly raised a flag of truco and boldly rodo forward, demanding the surrender of the place, in tho name of Colonel Gricrson.

Tho commanding officer—Col Goodwin asked ono hour to consider tho proposition,, and wished fo know where Captain Forbes would bo at that time. The Captain answered that ho would go back to tho reserve with tho answer—which he did pretty rapidly, after having shrewdly ascertained the strength of tho enemy. It is not known whether Enterprise ever surrendered or not, or whether the rebel Colonol is still trying to find the "reserve" to mako bi3 penitent bow but ono thing certain is that Capt. Forbes with his little squad of 35 men, did not intend to take those 3,000 rebel prisoners —that time at least and was laughing in his slccvo many miles off while these Enterprisers were trembling in their boots—id est, if at the present fabulous price of leather, they had any to tremble in.

JggT" Mr. W. W. Casio, who has been in this vicinity for some lime, rccruitiug for tho 71st Regiment, has opened a new office on lib street, just North of Main, where ho is enlisting rapidly. Three young men came forward yesterday and wero sworn in Ho now wants ten more men to make tho number he wishes to enlist. The 71st regiment is soon to bo mounted, and wc know of no more pleasant servicc than this, or moro agreeable bovs with whom to associate.— Webb is know'n to everybody Give him a rill.

Soulier's Cemetery. EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Indianapolis, May 25, 18fi3,

To l/tc Ptopk of Indiana: I proposo that tho people of Indiana shall purchase a tract of land, say. one hundred acres, in the neighborhood ef Indianapolis, to be converted into a cemetery for the burial of Indiana ofliccM and soldiers.

That upon this ground monument shall be crected, upon which shall he inscribed the names of the battles in which Indiana troops have been engaged.-

That the ground shall bo appropriately laid off into lots, with paths and carriage ways, and adorned nceojdin:* to tae design, and under tho direction ol a competent, person or board.

That a lot shall bo designated and set apart for each Indiana regiment and battery, upon which doubtless the regiments ami Itattcrics will erect monuments or memorials according to designs, ami bearing inscriptions to be determined on and furnished by themselves.

Governor of Indiana.

t^T* Two -noted cyprians were brought before the Mayor yesterday on chargo of keeping houses of ill-fame. They were found guilty, and it being the fir^t indictment, light fines were imposed, with the admonition that more severe pcualties would follow the next otic use. Let the work go on until the city is iid of these notorious bouses, at war with tho peace and guilt, of society, and snares and pit fals to the young men :ud youth of the city.

Hous.—The City Marshal gives notico this morning that he intends to take up all bogs found running at largo in thd streets, and oiler the same at public tale. Owners of swino should pen them up at once. Although it may cause some inconvcnienco to owners, they should remember that hogs prowling about, rooting op sidewalks, be smearing fences, going it at every open gateway, area serions annoyance to many citizens. A city is not proper place for bog raising, unless they aro kept within proper limits.

Although tho General Order prohibiting tho salo of theso articles has been rcscincd by Gen.

Anecdote of stonewall JacksonThe papers arc rehashing th&old anecdotes of Stonewall Jackson. Wc have one which is new 'and wo bcliovo authentic, illustrating his eo.itompt foe cowards and doughfaces. When one of the corps of the Army of the Potoiuae «:is moving forward to join Gen.

A Tcinalt The Paris per says:

A young lady presented herself at thoSorbonne a few days since to pass her examination for the degree of HAehelor of Science. The rector of tho Academy of Lyons cstab lished the priuciplo two years sinpe of admitting women to take tho degree of bachelor of letters nnd of science's. An examination at the Sorbonno is the most trying, ns there is not a wouiau present at the assembly. Mademoiselle Hiunia Clienii passed a briK linnt examination. 'Her agitation was extreme, tmt she was supported and encouraged by.the demeanor of'the collegians present. Tho announcement of her admission among the ninv bachelors was hailed by a burst ol applause from the entire assembly. Rf. Milne Kdwards personally congratulated Mademoiselle Uhenu on.lhesuccoss.

nngbani Voting's I,oyalty. Hrigham Toting appears to be ouly a conuitional loyalist. A ,'cw weeks sinco, in a speech at the Tabernacle, in answer to the charge that the Mormons wero Secessionists, lie said:

Can thcro anything reasonable and constitutional bO asked that Wc would not perform? No. But if Ihe government of the United States slipuld ask for a .battalion of men to fight ki tiie present battlefields of tho nation, while, thcro is a camp of soldiers from abroad located within th6' corporate limits of the city, I would riot ask one man logo I would tee them in h—I first.

THK Quakers held their annual meeting i'l Philadelphia last week. There were not as many in attendance as nfeual, and the spirit of the proceedings seemed colder. One brother was reprimanded by the meet ing for having a piano in his house, audja correspondent says that, had ho not bean a man of wealth and liberality, would proba bly have been expelled. Ho protests against such interference, and says it is no worse to keep a piano than to keep horses end pictures.

A correspondent at New Orleans writes, under dato of April 30, aa follow?: Our forces aro now at Opelousas, and I tb:uk will probably remain for a season in that part of the country, and not attempt to procccd to tho reduction of Port Hudson, while we bold the vast storehouse upon which tho enemy are depending. Gen. B^nks has been back to tho cjtjr for a short visit and is again with tho army. Tho latrst rumor is an expected Attack by a large force under Magruier, who is rather moro of an obstacle than Taylor was and has a la-^er force.

The Spoils ol the Enemy. The Washington Republican gives the subjoined explanation in contradiction ol the statement of the Richmond Whig, that during Gou. Hooker's late battles "not only an immenso number of small arms, variously estimated at from thirty to fifty thousand, but an almost infinite quantity of overcoats, knapsacks, coats and blankets," were left on the battlefield by Gen. Hooker and captured by the Confederates. The Republican says:

What there is of the above statement that ia not maliciously, i^lso is an erroneous exaggeration. We were informed seme days since that Gen. Hooker, in returning to the north bank of the Rappahannock with hi* army, left in various places upon the battlefields of Chancellorsviile, overcoats, knap.sacks and blankets. They were deposited from time to time, by orders of tho brigade and regimental commanders, to relieve the men of their burdens while fighting. Of courso the Hues were constantly changing, and when the army was ordered by tho Gen eral commanding to return, there was no time for the men to collect their goods scattered over miln of: ground. Consequently they wero abandoned, and of courso, the enemy is making the.piost of it. Whilo it Ls to bo regretted that so much property is lost, it is not so bad that it was Iclt in the maimer nod for tho purpose stated, as it would be it it had been captured in battle or abandoned in a disgraceful and forced retreat. Wc deem this explanation due alike to the public nnd the army.

Ilachclors* Defenses.

Bachclois arc -tyled by mirried men who have "put their foot in it" as only half-per-fected beings—cheerless vagabonds—-but half a pair ol scissors—and many other titles a given them while, on tho other hand, they extol their slate as one of perfect bliss —that a change fraw earth to heaven would be somewhat of doubtful good. If they arc so happy, why don't they enjoy their happiness and hold their tongues about it What d» half iho men get nn'.rricd for? Simply licit they may havo sonic one to darn their stockings, sew buttons on their shirts, and nurse their babies,—that they may have somebody (a married man once said), "to pull of their booU when they get a little balmy These fellows aro always talking of the loneliness of bachelors.

The Eficct of Privateering* Wo find tho following paragraph in the San Fiancisco Bulletin of April 23:

The Danish bark Cecilia, Schmidt, which cleared Saturday for Hong Kong, takes the large sum of $300,000 in specie. This ves scl was chartered by McCondray & Co., on accbunt of her nationality, which exempts her from any risk of capturo in caso tho United States should go to war with Great, Britain or France, or a Rebel privateer. Tho premium of insurance being less tends to throw all the specie carrying into tho hands of foreign shipping.

This fact is another illustration of the disastrous eficct upon American commerce produced by the outfit of privateers in British ports. The California treasure shippers, the eleven captains who recent returned to Portland after soiling their ships as so much useless lumber in England, tho New York merchants who fear to receive cargocs, all tell the same story. So long as England is permitted to build and fit cut fa3t armed steamers for tho rebels, just so long will the carrying trado on our Atlantic and Pacific coasts be withdrawn from American bottoms. The time will come when Ihis evil must stop.

Maj. Go it. Erasmus D. Key ex. This officer now occupies a rather promi ncnt position as commander of tho column threatening Richmond from the old peninsula ground.

Maj. Gen. Erasmua Darwin Keycs w.ibora in Sturbridgo, Mass., May 29th, 1811, and is consequently 52 years of age. lie graduated at West Point in '33 and entered the artillery as 2d Lieutenant. lie was aid-de-camp to Gen. Scott from '37 to '41, ranking as 1st Lieutenant. From '41 to '18, having been promoted to Captain, he was instructor of artillery and cavalry at'the Military Academy. Afterward ho was sent to the North-west and engaged in operations against the Indians of Puget Sound and Washington Territory.

He was made major of the 1st artillery in 1858, and colonel of the 11th infantry, his present rank in tho regular army, in May, 18G1. At McDowell's Bull Run be commanded tho first brigade in Tyler's division. He was subsequently made a brigadier-general of volunteers, and in February, 18G2, assigned to the command of one of tho five corps of McClellan's army of tho Potomac. He was prominent in tho battles of the peninsular campaign, and is, consequently, familiar with the grouud now before him. For his conduct in the series of battles beforo Richmond, he was promoted to major-general of volunteers, dating Jtdv 1, aud brevet brigadier in the regular army, dating from Fair Oaks. When the army was withdrawn from the peninsula by Halleck, Keycs was left at Yorktown with a part of his corps, where he has sinco been.

Tin: Baltimore American, speaking of the reported' sentence of Vallandigham to tho Dry Tortugas, says: "Had ho, at the time ho mado his appcaranco on the balcony of the Eutaw House, in this city, to aid his filo loader, John Breckinr'dgc, in preaching treason, kept on his way with tho latter into the rebel camp, thero is no doubt that many a life worth a thousand of his own would have boen saved —many a deluded man havo been now true to his country, who, under his teachings, has gone astray to suffer. Why the Government did not long ngo lay a heavy hand upon the impudent mouther of treason, will always bo a marvel, since hundreds of better men have paid tho penalty of their folly and wickedness but better late than never, and tardily as it has moved

:,i

th caso, its action will

have .a salutary cffect in deterring others of tho same class from making themselves obnoxious to tho penalties against troason and its affinities. The arch-traitor and demagogue may, however, after all, congratulate himself. Ho has fared much better, most undoubtedly, than ho would have done had ho fallen into tho hands of the brave fellows iu tho camps, or had ho oven ventured, on a memorable occa-ion, to spout treason here."

Heroes of Wilson Creek. Out of that gallant army, who under Lyon •. fought tho battle of Wilsen Creek, fens ariseiv. a host of commanders. They aro found everywhere throirghtout tho "country, but chieliy in the West. There was then" present tho usual complement of ofliccrs for forco of five thousand men From them have boeu mado six major generals and thir tocn brigadiers. Colouels, lieutenant coloncJs and majors by the score havo sprun" from those who wore then oither line or noncommissioned officers. From ono company of the First Iowa infantry, thirty-seven commissioned officers aro now in the service. Similarly ono company of tho First Missouri, has contribute^ thirty two. It is a curious fact, that of the officers who survived tho battle of Wilson Creek not ono has since been killed in battle, and only ono has died from ('5aeaeo. In overy battlo for tho Union tho heroes of this terrible contest aro found. and nowhere have they disgraced their old record.
