Contributions for the Relief of the Soldier-'} Qft ibe 3d page of thisfiaper will be seen a letter from the Sanitary Commission, addressed to Mr J. O. JONES of thia city, acknowledging the receipt of $800, which sum waff"tontributed by the Union men on Thursday, last, at the Union. Mass .Meeting held her©. .-• 'Phis Is oiife (if the cases' a thong ten thousand, which j)rov,es T7ho.tbe ^ldiers'.ffje,n4g are?"

The mefeling -was not large, but was composed of the then who have sympathy for the soldier, aud do all in their power to alleviate tsi-jsufferings. On this page, we publish a list-of the coiitributious. 'l'lie soldier and hisi friends will read them with pleasure.

A few weeks ago, a butternut ma^s meet-ing-was held here, and the Journal claimed that there were "40,00(1 Democrats iu coun r-11 r** Sensation headlines preceded the editorial] comments thereon. Itfurther said itwas a "grand day for the Democracy." Grand in What manner? Grand for shouting for a oorivirted traitor and others who ought to be convicted grand for denunciations against the Government, and sympathy for the re belliou grand for uttering no word for the cause of the Union grand for not giving a dollar for the soldier, and yet claiming to be his friend. How shameful and mean such a demonstration is 1

The Journal said the Union meeting on Thursday last was a 'magnificent fizzle," there being only about two hundred present. But t,he meeting gave $800 to the soldiers. If two hundred Union men givo $800 to alleviate the sufferings of the soldier, mid yet it is a "magnificent fizzle," what kind of a fitxle is that when "40,000 butternuts are in council," and not a single dollar is contributed for the soldier or his cause 1 It is four thousand' times worse than a fizzle. It is odious, dishonorable, and shameful, and those who composed the demonstration will be execrated by the soldier while he lives to recollect the hardships which he has suffered in d'efonceof the country these butternuts curse and abhor.

A Want ol Our City,

Every oity of the size of Terre Haute, has a large number of untrained and unemploy ed children. Ungoverned at home, they run the streets at pleasure, full of mischief (as is natural with children), and some of them learning vice and even crime as they become older..

Terre'Haute lias her fair proportion of such children. Out of over twenty-five hundred boys and girls, including all between the ages of five and twenty-one, not half attend our public schools. Others it is true attencl elsewhere, or learning trades, or following mechanical pursuits but the number left absolutely idle ts far too great for our comfort/ Idleness brings with it all such petty mischief as window-breaking and fruit stealing—the lesser vices, as smoking and chewing—then the greater one, drinking and gambling, arid not unfrequentlr leads one to crime. More than one boy in his

"teens"

has been in our jail within the last

'two or throe years. Some of the moat expert thieves in Indianapolis, arcs those who few years ago was among the wild boys of her streets. Terre Haute promises to have some of the same sort ready for service presently.

Sunday is the great gala day tor these children—the boys especially—there is no school the shops where they work are closed ^iey are not kept at home they congregate Q.tout the Street corners, and not only disturb the quiet of the day, but they foment mischief lor the comiug week. They have actually nothing else to do for axperience has demonstrated that many of them cannot be induced to go into the ordinary Sabbath

Schools'*of the Churches.

s"'!

All the larger cities are therefore establishing Minion Sabbath Schools, where the children and youth, not connected with any Christian Congregation, can be gathered together for an hour or BO of singing and in* etructioH. Chicago is reported to have some of the best schools of this kind in the country. In Indianapolis there are several, which have been in operation successfully tor years. And our sister city EvauBville, which needs one no more than wo, and is t-erfaihly no better able to sustain it., has one whii'h is said to bo in some respects a model. It is provided with fine hall, used exclueivelv by the school, and is supplied with illustrated papem to distribute to the children, and has afforded it. all the appurtenances accessary to make it. attractive to the youth of the city. The average attendance is

about

three hundred and fifty scholars. It is supported by the citizens of the place,

without

regard to churches mainly by the

business men. Terro Haufo has long needed such a school —one which, without interfering with aDy other, should do a work for the community, which none of them can do, and which should bo sustained by the citizens without respect to the creed or party. About eight months since a few ladies nnd gentlemen commenced such a school They have been carrying it on ever since very quietly, so quietly that we saspect many of our readers never knew before of its existence. They have made no appeal for money, except to a few, for such as was absolutely indispensible and which was at onco giveu them. Uuable to procure the exclusive use of any ball, and deeming it un&dvisable to go to any expense for furniture, until the experimeut had been fairly tried, they have been moeting in the soldiers' drill room, gcttiug along as best they could with borrowed chairs and benches, even with drums, cartridge boxes and rough boards for seats. Iu spite of all these disadvantages, lliey have established a school, which already numbers an average attendance of oue hundred to one hundred and twenty five scholars, the good of which aie already noticeable and we think the time has come when the substantial citizens of

Terie Hautd should isfcc hold of this matter and put the achool'at once upon a permanent footing, by affording the means to build or hire, and tarnish, hall which shall be at once adequate to their purpose, and an hon or

the community, and ahall place our own beautiful Prairie City, in this respect, an a level at least, with bar cities.

IN another place we publish from the Statp Journal a brief-aceouut of tlio Into battle below Chattanooga, which i* «jf much interest The facts were gathered by the Editor of the Journal from Col. Wij-orn, who was bini!»tli engaged in the battles. The statements of course, are authentic, and show that the result of tho fighting was much more favorable to the Federal arms than was at first supposed.

Gen. ^harles Cruft^^ fr- ~r

A brief note was received last evening "from this gallant officer, by his brother, 'n .which he etates ihat he passed .through the terrible battles on Saturday and Sunday, near Chattkriooga, tinharnied, although' he narrowly, escaped with h's life. ^lis fine charger, piesented to him by Qeu- GRITTENDEN, was shot frcBt under him by a cannon ball.

The Federal forces were, when the note was written, near Chattanooga, ready t*»' re reive the enemy.

Copprrliead Bfurvulfuie,

We notice that sundry Copperhead journals are becoming exceedingly pathetic over the fact that deseiters from the United States army, upon being duly found guilty, and sentenced'hy all the Laws of War, to deato, are actually shot, as if the CourtsMurlialwere a mere form, and as if it' were the fit and^proper thing, with true Chinese ingenuity, simply to scare a military delinquent, and then to dismiss him honorably from the serVico. with certificate of good, moral and military charactor. That a roan should be put to a violent death, is certainly very sad. But, wh«i you have made the best of it, war is very far fiom being a jolly business. A great many people have been killen off since this rebellion begun We doubt if the number in future will be diminished by encouraging desertion And this is what the Ct pperheads seeni to be mostly engaged in.

Letter from"A Soldier^ NoBL^liAiiaAck^

iNWaNiFoi'is.iltid., Sept. 23,16C3.,, EDITOR ExpkKssr After a soldier leaves his. homeland hia, friends., for the arduous'duties of the field, it requires but.Mttletime toxiuae his mind to frequently revert, back to .his did associates—in fact a letter, or a scrafi of a newspaper, which bears the name ofa/friehd or of home, i3 carried in thepocket until worn out. .When the,reader .bears this in mind, whichis as true as Holy Writ,hemusfnatural--ly conclude that the soldier thinks of all other matters, pertaining to the welfare of his friende^just in thegame proporttoq. Therefore you must not thhik it intrudhig when I beg to make a remark in relation to 'the pending election in Vigo for, in all elections, soldiers trnly and sincerely feel more interest than ever. In them we see cle&rly portrayed the appreciation pr the total disregard foFthe.c^use we are endeavoring to uphold Aid to perpetuate^ Consequently I wish ,to, call the attentivyn'of fhe rotersrofVigatamtity to the following important «tera:.100f ?ar~

In cCnvfeHittoif toith a a^lcha^l^f-indt-anapolis, the other day, I was.told that while he was^St*South' Bend, Indiana, shr/rt. time ago, he a mau there from Terre Haute who. claimed to be a Demotrat, and said he had always uted i^e.tjeket and wul^ continue to do During the conversation with this Tene liante Democrat, he told the merchant thai the Demuciata had their wires all get in Vig^. and that eveKy man'of the party would work up t« them. The plan, as explained by him, was as follows: ~cl

He said tha Deinoorata would hold a convention f«»r the purpose of nominating a full ticket. This was to be done as a blind, for the nomineess would be dropped and Charley Noble (the independent Republican candidate) would be run by them, for the purpose ot defeating A|l«n

houesty

for

Auditor.

They were determined to beat Allen, and they would resort to any and all means to do so C, 11. Baily would bo run far Becprder, who belougwd to lb* other party, and by workiug the manor thua,,(\hey. ha,iL atfoug hopes of succeeding."

Voters of Vigo, will you suffer your rights to be trifled with in this manner? I. trust riot Then you must be up and doing there is no time to lose.. If Mr. Noblei will consent to thus play secOnd-flddle to the enemies of our country, no Union man will exult over his election. 1 kuow it has beeu the custom heretofore, to shuffle the cards to get all the vote possible—this has been done by both parties But the'cjuestions now at issue, do not tally with those of former times: it is no contest between Democrat and Republican, though Democrats are ready to swear that it is. We have b«t two parties—those for the Union and Utose agaiust it, and he who ad here* to the old political party land marks, are, to say .the least, suspicious cbarac tera, and any Union man who will play into the binds of such men, is no better than they are, for he virtually puts up his political

and merit at auction, and knocks it

oft" to that party who wottld sell their country for au office. Discard all such—yote for none who are uot willing to sacrifice bis own reelings for the good of the masses. Be as sured that the man who will thus trade and traffic with the vqtes he may have power, to control, is n"t fit'to merit your support. 1 would rather vote for any living mortal than H. Baily. 1 regard him as a woree ebel than those whn Originated the infernal eeheme. They had an Object—fiaily has norito. He is too coottnttibi* to desrve further notice therefore, let him paai down to the grave ba has orepAretT fbr himself, unr iteoii DOtJCw. JllSHIOJibiTjfu! aHf lu conclusion, I will, stjaplj say -sotersof Vigo county, go to the polls and quietly cast your, votes for the men who are right ilppo the Union question—men *ho ifflitj# (6 tha Union, right or uirong, and not for tbeecFwbo are willing to lay aaida, ior the tiipe hing" their Unioniem fot^« sake of a petty county offiee. Do this, sod fcU will go right Your Umoo ticktt will be elected, andJ^pk}D men wfll We «mse foWjoioe.

Qn Satuiday Col. Ja)tn T. Wilder of this State, commander of tiie celebrated Mounted infantry Brigade of the Army of the Cumberland, and one of the moat prominent 'and successful of the subordinate officers in ?thi battles-ia Geqrgia, passed through, .this city on hi^ way home to recruit his health a$d strength from prostrating illness which would havfe'sefrl him to the rear long ago if the prospect of a battie hail not been fit rouge than the disease, and kept him up. He.left^Clutttanooga last Wednesday moru

pleta news of the recent battles of lie Chick amhttgft Uittn the public has seen He says, tint the report of the New York Herald's correspondent, telegraphed from Cincinnati, is incorrect nnd exaggerated first, because the, correspondent did- not know what disposition bad been made.ot»portions of the two corps which, be reports defeated and scatter-ed-j and second* because he left the field on Sunday evening and could not possibly have learned the full result of the fight. Colonel Wilder's position was such as to enable to know not only the movements of the troops preceding the battleof Suuday, but to bring from the field the v.ery la-t news that could be gathered there/ In Satiuday's fight, he was on. the-1e11-«r ceuterv• That-, night, the, greater portioaa ofriMcOook's an3 Crittenden's.corps iuoved,-past him to strengthen Thomas on the extremals ft, lgavipg him on the extreme right. Between his brigade and Thomas, in the c»uler, instead of the two corps as represented by the Herald writer, then* wer»but two divisions, Sheridan's, aud Jeff. C. DavisVoiftthese corps. H^re the. line was necessarily, very weak, and the rebels failing in the. desperate attack upou Thomas, aud iu .a fierce but not pesistent d««li upon the right, took the ppportunity of some movement in the center to strike tl^ere.

This was the only real reyerse of. the day,, lc embraced, but tw.Adiyisious, as already stated, and .of these Sberidan'and Davis, who, Wilder, says, did all .that hiitnau df|iog and cooljrig could, rallied a-considerable number, and^ returned to thu fight.

Thomas hfld thi i#ft, orratiifrtbajinaiu dy of the army, .a known tp ^vey^^ody.,,. On both flanks the rebels were -stopped anct beaten back. In the.center they b.r,oke up two divisions, but with a less latalrpsuVt than might have been expepted. This is'the sam_ of the matter. Oii Sunday night Wilder -, distributed his brigade so as to prote^. the roads from the right to Chattanooga, and on Monday jojined the main body in good ord^r and good spirits, entirely uncoiycious of any defeat. Thomas came itr,on, Monday at his own pleasure, with more than two thirds of the whole army, and any thing buttt defeat to report, as the:most dispiritingacftouots show, Our line was held, except at the center, till we chose to leave it, as Rocsecrans would have done before the fight, if the tha rebels had let him. They fought to break hltn up before lie could get back to the impregnable positibil at Chattanooga, and only succeeded in breaking ilp two division As Wilder came •ihhegatheced.up find brought ,with him a very large amojmt..of stores, and material, supposed by thpse in Chattanooga, and of ccnn'se by the Herald writer, fo have been lost." Auiong these were two gans, one hundred ambulances, sixty beel cattle, and a jarge number of ammunition wagons and caissons. Similar recoveries were doubtless m'ade by other portions of- the' army, but the correspondent had hurried oft to publish his descriptions of the fight, and know nothing of this rather 'important variation of the state of ficis behind him. Our I us a in prisoners iii birth diiys. the Colonel says, will uot exceed twenty-five hundred, including the wouuded. iu artillery it will be less than Col. Barrett,supposed, as gnns were TCCOVered and brought in of which he could know nothing when he gave his estimate to the correspondent. We captured about 2,00(1 prisoners, ot whom Wilder brought 1,530 with him to Stevenson. The distance of the battle-field from Chattanooga has not been fully understood, and supposition that Rosecraua had been driven back twenty or thirty miles, has added a'gloomy shade even to the most cheering aspect of the fight but the distance was small, our extreme right,, which is the farthest awav on Sunday, being less .than twelve miles off, and the left, alter falliiur back to Mission Rfjrde, being hardly Wire than a half of it. iOn Monday, immediately after, the return from the field, Wilder was sent off up the Tennessee to puanl lords and passes for fturnside's benefit, and took with him dis ^patches Irom Rosecratis with full news ot the "siuation These dispatches were safe ly delivered,^ the courier taking them got back just as Wilder starte fiomA*1* This assures the country that Burnside will not be caught unprepared. When the courier reached him he was moving toward Chattanooga, at what point or with what strength it would probably be itn^rtper to state,"but we state that by this time he is past all danger of bciatercepted by the rebels, and has foice enough make good all Rosecrana has lost, and something over. At Stevenson Wilder heard a rumor that Grierson's tjavalry from the Mississippi ..were within ten tuiles, and that Shermau'd whole corps was within two days' mcrch, comiug up from Decatur, Alabama, but the rumors were undoubtedly false, as Gtieracn was in Shringfield, III., on Friday, and Sherman could not have got to the point stated, from the Big Black, in the time that hos elapsed since the battle, and we know that he had not started before. Among the incidents of the battle of Saturn day, Colonol Wilder described the frightful slaughter »f Lougstreet's men at the time, tliBy were driven back by our left wing This celebrated corps, as desperate soldiers as ever lived, attacking two divisions, \n Cave's and Davis', to the right and a little fiifrout or Wilder, separatedrthem and push el ou through the open- space yolpiug—the rebel shout is a yelp, instead ot a, civilized hurrah—and confident of victoty.' A portion of theni had'to cross a small field, bohiod which, in tho bordering wooda Wilder 4ay, atid through which ran a ditoh five or six feet d*ep, to«Arry ofl' the water 9,fcart adjacent stream or swamp. As the rebels entered this field, !nheavy t^asae* fully expoiid,' the mounted infantry, with ..Ifceir. •even shooting files, keptup a continuous blast ef fire upon Jthem, while Lilly, with his Indiana Battery, hurled thrtrttgh them donble shotted ctibotster f*OB» his iO poabder rifles, at lias ithan three

FROM FT. MONROE.

FOKTEKHS MOXBOK, Sept 26.—A desetter was conducted into our lines with surprising tales of the doings of the rebels in Richmond. umors flew abont the cil^ ui all djfj^ttons, that the rebel capital Was being evacuated ,and that the whole rebel army was deserting Virginia and' going south. Thie ^gained strength from a statement of a party of men who had escaped from Belle Island aod rame into Williamsburg, Va., to Gen. Onderdonk, commanding cavalry at that advanced Post on the Fenlusnla. These men stated substantially the same fact as the de •eit«r.**®*" Jbn j#'!:

FROM NEW YORK.

Nr.w YOBK, September 28.—A special from Washington says the Republican of to day says that dispatches which left Rosecrana' headquarters yesterday afternoon, aunounce that he occupies a natural Btronghold from which he cannot be remeved, awl that the enemy has made no attack since the 31st.

Gen. Meigs who arrived at Chattanooga nn Saturday, upon invitation, examined Rose crans' defences, and says nothing but siege can dislodge him, and the enemy is making no movement la that direction.

The Republican is silent on the subject of reinforcements baring reached Rosecrens. The delegation from Missouri will not present its address to the Presideut until Tuesday or Wednesday. '1

All is quiet at the front. Our iurces are still fortifying.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.—Up to 2 o'clock 6-d nothing of special importance has been received from Chattanooga.

The Hon. Emerson Ethridge is, at the instance of prominent Union men of Tennessee, endeavoring to obtain the consent of the Adminstration, for Gen. W. B. Campbell to be inaugurated Governor of Tennessee, on the ground that he was voted for in the various counties on the fitat Thursday in August last, the day fixed by law tor the election of Governor in that State since 1835 It is claimed that ho received all the votes cast in that State The majority of all the votes given elects. A l«r»e vote, it ia said by these gentlemen, would have been cast throughout tho State, had uot Gov. Johnson and his advisers opposed the election. They also say that the inauguration of Governor Campbell would relieve Gov. Johnson from his labors and the people of the State having a civil government, would have uo difficulty in re-organizing the entire State government immediatly.

The Missouri iltl^miuii, at a meeting to day, (appointed a muiiiiittee of one from each Congressional Di-trictof that State, in counecti«B witli (Jen. I'aine and A. C. Wil der, of Kansas, to draft a memorial to the President, setting lorth their grievances ari sing out of tho policy pursued by General Schofield in his administration of affairs in his Military Department.

WASHINGTON', Sept. 28 —The latest ad vices from Rosecratis, dated yesterday after aoon, Htnte the enemy has made no attack since 2lst,, Gen. Rosecrana is not sow in anv fear.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—A special to the Posti says the reverse In Northern Georgia compels the Government to raise more troops than it had contemplated. The present draft will not give 75,000 men, and it is said that this is too high an estimate by 25,000, Another draft will undoubtcly take place very soon, except in those States which prefer to raise the full quota by 'volunteers. Nearly all the Western States will raise their quotas in this way, as the .Government offers a bounty of $300.

The draft will probably be for 600,000 men, and the expectation of the Government under the uew instructions H, to obtain onethird of the men drawn as soldiers in the two drafts, and the volunteering, it is estimated, will give about 300,00(1 men by the 1st of Januatv. ,,
