Premiums for Veterans. On Saturday we received the following dispatches:

INDI AN"\roL.i9, Feb. t», 1804..

To Express: Provost Marshals, oflicors and men on recruiting duty, and citizens, are hereby notified that for every recruit hereafter obtained

for any old Regiment, Battery or Company, /"But the Oazette'a argument ia worse than i._ .Amiiimii will h» tiBui to ths** ita mumitrT if iiuch a thine? be possible. Mr.

A veteran is one who has served in the army nine months or more, and who has been honorably discharged for other cause than disability. The premium will be paid on the certificate of the mustering officer that the recruit has been mustered into the service. The enlistment papers sent forward with the recruit must Bhow endorsement thereon, signed by the Provost Marshal or recruiting officer who procured tho recruit. CONRAD BAKER,

Col. and Supt. Vol. Reciuiting.

Also, we received the following INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 6,1864. To Express:

The War Department having authorized the payment of increased premiums to noncommissioned officers, privates and citizens for obtaining recruits for old Regiments and Batteries the especial premium of six dollars for each recruit will be paid hereafter to regularly appointed recruiting officers for the now Rogiments. O. P. MORTON,

Governor of Indiana.

To the People of Indiana. INDIANAPOIIS, IND., Feb. 4, 1864. The President calls for five hundred thousand men. This includes the three hundred thousand heretofore required, and is, therefore, a call for only an additional two hundred thousand.

It is known that this call so promptly follows the last in order to secure, beyond all question, a sufficient force to close the war the present yoar.

It has been rendered necessary by the large number of veterans re-enlisted in the field and credited upon tbe last call, and from evidence received by the Government that a rebel conscription is putting tho entire uialo population into the ranks for a final struggle.

By act of Congress the large bounties will cease March 1st. If the quota be not filled by that date, tbe draft will follow March 10th.

It is especially important that vigorous efforts be immediately made in counties which failed te furnish their quota under the last call. If, to the former deficit, the debt aris ing from the new call be added, it will make the draft in such counties very severe.— County and township authorities are, therefore, urgod to give immediate attention to tho matter, and to organize, by systematic effort, to raise the men.

The apportionment of the quota for the new call will be published as soon as defi nitely ascertained.

Under this call no additional new regiments will be organized but recruiting officers for those already begun, will devote their whole time to their completion.

Officers recruiting for old regiments, and veterans on furlough, are called upon to throw their whole energy into the work of filling up their respective regiments, thus adding to the debt of gratitude which Indiana owes them for their unnumbered gallant acta.

It is one more occasion for Indiana to lead in the supply of men to maintain onr Government in the war with this rebellion, and thereby hasten its termination. 11 order of Governor MORTON.

HENRY B. CARRINGTON, Brigadier General U. S.

The Nomination of Mr. Lincoln to* a Second Term of Office. The Indianapolis Gazette objects to notrii

natinga candidate for the Presidency

It is unfortunate that the Gazette did not think of this matter at an earlier period. It forgets that it, nominated a candidate for Governor several months ago. It did not think it "unwise" or "dangerouB," then to nominate a candidate for thai position, nor did it consider it wrong to "commit the country" for him at so early a period. And further, we think If the Gazette will examine its files as far back as five or six months, it will discover that it nominated indirectly this same Governor for the Presidency. The "wisdom" of the matter was not then considered it was not then deemed "impolitic" or "dangerous," to commit the country in that direction at that time

its memory if Buch a thing be possible. Mr. LINCOLS won, and has retained the confidence of the loyal people by bis rigid integrity, and directness of purpose, and he would not probably change his course of conduct, by any temptation, however great, to secure that which a life of candor and honesty had once conferred upon him. He knows well what has given him the distinction he now enjoys and to prolong that distinction he would use the same means of securing it.

Instead of its being too soon to "say who shall be nominated," it ia just the time to discuss the matter, and as the Gazette has been engaged for six months past in this business, it will doubtless excuse usforthese suggestions. The people are emphatically for Mr. LINCOLN, fer another term of office, and it would be unwise to not heed this fact. Almost every mechanic, merchant and farmer, together with the politicians, ef the conntry, prefer him to any other man, and will labor for his re election with a zeal, and indefatigability which no other candidate could possibly command. Besides being tho strongest man, the past history of Mr. LINCOLN demands his renominatlon aBd election. His administration requires that endorsement from the people, and they will willingly bestow it, if their preferences are not overlooked. There is no man in the whole country who has tho strength to oppose Mr, LixCOLN'S nomination, successfully. The matter is fixed beyond doubt in tho mind3 of the people, and his few opponents cannot change public sentiment on tho matter, in the slightest.

The Minnesota Indemnity Claims. The number of claims filed and registered prior to Seotember, 1863, by the Minnesota sufferers, before the Commissioners appointed by tbe President to assess claims for damages, &c., was2,910. The parties claimed $2,458,000 damages. Tbsro was allowed $1,370,000. A great many claims were withdrawn, some forwarded to the Secretary of the interior, and 76 In which no testimony was offered. The testimony—wbich is in the bands of Secretary Usher, fills fifteen thousand pages of legal cup paper.

The appropriation made by the last Congress ($200,000) for the aid of the sufterers, has been distributed among 1,309 persons, in sums ranging from $20 to $200, according to the necessities of the sufferers. Aa Congress has made no provisions to pay the amount of damages allowed by tbe Commissioners, it is proposed to pay off the claims by appropriating for that purpose the back annuities of the Sioux tribes, which amount to near $3,000,000. Ono of the stipulations of the treaty between them and the United States makes their annuity fund responsible for all damages committed by them.

Detection of the Murderers.

CONFESSIONS OF THE CRIMINALS.

[From State Journal.]

On Friday last a man named Davis Whelchel— Wilkie his nickname at home—was

arrested in this city charged with the murder

of William Eshleman

early a day and use, the following language ^^**0 ™s-

Mr. Lincoln is perhaps as free from the danger of temptation as any man living, but there ia no man entirely free from or above such danger. It would therefore be unwise we say, if not dangerous, to let Mr. Lincoln know or to give him the positive assuranoe, so long in advance, that he, beyond doubt, ia to be the next President, or that he i9 to be continued iu office another term. It would be laying before him a temptation which ought not to be laid before any man, we care not how good and safe and incorruptible he may be.

, of Tipton. From a cit-

Whelchel's said in regard to a certain old well that it was not worth while to search it for Eshleman's body, bnt that Thos Clark's gun or some of his bones might be found there.

We learn that the excitement had grown so high in Tipton, that on the arrival of the train there a dozen revolvers were ready to shoot down the prisoner at sight, and the officers having Whelchel in custody were compelled to pass on to Kokomo. and confine him in the jail at that place.

The murdered man, Mr. William Eshleman, was a returned Californian, a native of Pennsylvania, unmarried, aged about thirty-

In the latter part of November last Eshleman went to the eastern part of the County for a protracted hunt, and the last that was seen of him was on Sunday night about 12 o'clock, December 6th, encamped in the woods with Lewis Eliston, a youog man some seventeen years of age. He was seen at that time by three young men, out coon hunting, who remained an hour or longer talking to Eshleman and Eliston. The Times says:

Some four weeks elapsed before any anxiety was felt from the absence of Mr. Eshleman, by his friends and relatives, and in the mean time young Eliston was seen with large sums of money, something unusual with him, as it was known that Mr. Eliston was in very poor circumstances, he being unable to pay his indebtedness. About the first of December, old man Eliston started for Kentucky, where he said he had four or five hundred dollars due him. On returning, he said he had collected it, and proceeded to pay his debts and bought a tract of land in his neighborhood and paid $200 down on it. Excitement having grown to an alarming extent from the circumstances mentioned, the people turned out en masse to ascertain if possible some clue of the fate or whereabouts of the missing man. Rumor was busy, and a thousand stories and conjectures were afloat, and all seemed to fit closer and closer upon young Eliston as the murderer of Mr. Eshle-

ty brought into town, averring that the place had been found where the body had been burned and actually produced some charred remains of a human being, at least so pronounced by the physicians of our place. About noon on Tuesday a party discovered the ashes where Eshleman and Eliston had had their camp fire, some buttons buckles pen, keel, &c., which were immediately recognized by Henry Eshleman as belonging to his brother. About one hundred yards north they found the body of the murdered man, Mr. Wm. Eshleman, in a nude state. The murderer had thrown some grass and brush over it. His clothing had been burnt to pre vent the body, if ever found, from being recognized. He was shot through the head, the ball entering the left temple and coming out through the right ear. The fatal shot was, no doubt, fired while he was sleeping, as the head showed that the muzzle of the gun had been held with in a few inches of it when discharged, being powder burnt. The deed, it was supposed, was done on Monday night, the 7th of December, 1863. Mr. Henry Eshleman informs us that when his brother left home he had something near $700, about four hundred in Gov ernment funds, and some two hundred in bills on the Bank of the State of Indiana.

The body of Mr. Eshleman waa taken to town Tuesday night. For a time mob violence seemed inevitable, but the better sense of the community prevailed.

THE CONFESSION.

The officers were determined to have a confession from young Eliston. Effort after effort failed, until sometime Wednesday morning the prisoner, weary and tired of answering interrogatories and giving explananations, succumbed.. His confession was insubstance as follows:

Mr. Eshleman was at Eliston's house on the Sunday evening he was seen at the camp, and young Eliston accompanied him in the hut on Monday morning. About an hour before sun-down the boy states that Davis W. Whelchel, who has been a resident of Tipton for a number of years, and an old acquaintance and friend of Eliston's came to them in the woods, gun on his shoulder, and proposed to hunt with them, talked with Eshelman as if acquainted with him.— They separated but aimed to meet at or near the old Logan place.

They had not journeyed far before Whelchel came up to young Eliston, and asked how much money Eshlman had. The boy says he told him that he did not know; and that Whelchel then told him that he guessed he had some five or six thousand dollars with him, and wanted to know if there wasn't some way that the money could be got from him. The boy told him that he did not know how it could be got. even if he had the money. Whelchel then said,: "We can kill him." To which the boy says he answered, "I couldn't kill him and give you half the money if you will never tell it" The boy says he did not say whether he would or would not.

At about this time Eshleman came up, and they all journeyed to their camp, where they built a fire and prepared to pass the night. Nothing further passed between the boy and Whelchel on the subject of killing Eshleman. Conversation ran on many sub-

era coon

the camp. Whelchel told Eschelman they

were after him, and said he would run and

twenty minutes, and then started off In the direction of Moore's residence. As soon as they had gone, Whelchel returned. Eshleman then remarked to the

head. Eshleman etruggled but little. A minute, and Whelchel remarked, you watch and I will do the work. He then searched the pocket and finding the money, which was in a shirt-pocket, took it out, and, on counting it, said there was just five hundred dollas; he then counted and handed to the boy two hundred dollars. This done, he cautioned the boy to watch, and proceeded to strip and and tear the clothing from the body and piled it on the fire. He then gathered up the body in hisarms in an easterly direction, was gone about ten or fifteen minutes, and returned. He took Eshleman's gun, boots and powder flask and started off a lit-tle-south of east, and returned in about ten minutes, when he built another fire on the spot where he had killed Esleman, to hide the apperance of blood. This all done, and having giving the boy some instructions, they left the dismal place, journeyed together a short distance, and then separated. The boy went home, and Whelher to Tipton.

As soon as Whelchel heard that the Elistons had been arrested, he was observed to become greatly excited and volunteered to go to Kentucky to bring witnesses to prove that EIiston had been paid five hundred dollars. Immediately after the confession, offi cers started in pursuit of Whelchel, and arrested him in this city on his return from Kentucky. The elder Eliston is not supposed to be guilty, and will no doubt be speedily discharged. His appeals to his son had much to do with bringing out the confession. On Thursday last the officers accompanied by several private citizens, took young Eliston to

the boy received from Whelchel. The Young of Tipton, and as we find it published in the Tipton Times, is as follows

boots and gun were found hid under logs. The money was in a pocket-book placed between two boards, hid about three quarters of a mile south-east of Eliston's farm.

We have tbe following strange appendix

five years. He had been back from the gold region several motnhs, and had been visiting among his relatives, of whom he had many, highly respected, in Tipton County. His disappearance was not observed for several weeks, because each relative supposed he was visiting with some other household of the large family connection.

old adage "murder will out," which we clip from the Madison Courier of Friday last: A MURDERER AT LARGE.—A soldier attached to the West Street Barracks, in this city, passing along Main Cross street last evening, was agreeably surprised at discovering an old acquaintance from Tipton county, named Davis in Wilkie (Whelchel) standing on the corner. He spoke to him familiary, and invited him to go with him to the barracks, and remain with him all night, that they might have a general free chat about matters and things in old Tipton. Wilkie accordingly accompanied his soldier friend, and they retired to the sleeping apartment. About two o'clock this morning Wilkie proposed to depart, being as he observed unable to get to sleep, and adding that he had been restless for some days past, during which time he had no sleep. He then proceeded to say, to his friend's sorrowful surprise, that he had not long since been concerned, with perhaps two others, in the murder of a man in Tipton couuty, and it was the cause of his great unrest and tormenting fears. Soon after making this confession, Wilkie left the barracks. At a later hour this morning, the soldier received from his wife, through the post office, a letter confirming the murder, and giving full particulars.

That Stat*, when thero was uo contest, polled in Apiil last 28,321 votes for and 572 against her present Constitution (only 7,828of them all "in camp3")—which we believe the largest aggregate ever polled in a new State on a similar occasion. In June, though there was no opposition, and though a third of her erea was under the armed heel of Treason, she gave Governor Bonxman 25,897 votes, which was more than half the vote for President in l'atiO of the entire State, and at least two-thirds that of the counties now voting. Such is the heroic and invincible foe of Slavebolding Treason wbich the Age delights to slander by asserting that "there are probaby one thousand 'loyal' voters in the entire State"—that number being evidently one thousand more than ths Age wishes there were.

He says the resources of the South are exhausted in both men and means, that "tbe establishment of the Confederacy ia an impossibility and that it will be folly and madness to continue tbe eon test longer. He earnestly appeals to all his friends to abandon the rebel army and tbe rebel eause, return to their allegianee to 1 tbe United States, and accept tbe terms offered in the Preeident's Amnesty Proclamation. Those terms, he says, (in direct conflict with the declarations of Northern Copperheads,) "Impose nothing dishonorable or degrading, and are as liberal nndet tbe circumstances aa we could expect."

In reference to the progress of the war, fie makes tbe following candid admission: "1 may truly assert that no nation in so short a period ol time bae suffered so many defeats, had its flag lowered In the face of tbe enemy so often, lost so much of their territory as tbe army of the South. Seven timee in two years have we been compelled to strike our eolora, and surrender to our enemiea our most Important strongholds.— Nearly two-thirds our territory, first occupied by our forces and now claimed as our own, is under the dominion and cootrol of Federal authority. AU of tbe most important agricultural territory of Tennessee, Kentucky, a great part of Virginia and Arkansas, properly termed tbe store-house of the Confederacy, we have been compelled to abandon. The eurreney, upon tbe soundness of which success in war, in a great degree, depends, bas become almoet woAbless. Tbe wages of the private, for two moatbe service, will not buv him a respectable pair of shoes, or procure liim a dozen meals to satisfy tho cravings of hunger."

A correspondent of the London Reader gives the following details regarding the production of statues: "The sculptor, having designed a figure, first makes a sketch of it in clay, a lew iqlhes only-in height. When he has satisfied hitnself with tho general attitude, a cast is taken of his sketch, and from it a model in clay ia prepared of the full size he deeigus for hisatatue, whether half thenatural height,or life-size, or eollossal.

SUA IT Pox is INDIANA.—There ia quite an exoitement In many localities throughout Indiana, says the Indianapolis Jouraal, about small pox. There is no point where tbe disease Is spreading to any extent, bet we bear of it at New Albany, Jeffersonville, Centreville, near Richmond, Bremen, near Plymouth, Oloverland, a few convalescent eases in this eity, Kendalvllle, on Eagle Oreek. Henkricka county, Bloomingsport, Randolph eounty, and perhaps a few other place*. We learn that it is decreasing in the towns on tbe Ohio river, while only two or three cases are reported at «Uhef of the other places, etoeptat Bloomingsport, where. aecordleg to the Randolph Journal, six or seven deaths have occurred, and somewhere between thirty and seventy casn are now on hand.

At Richmond tbe Board of Health urges upon all persons the necessity of vaccination, and requires all ehildMn attending school to be thns fortified against the disease. This is a wise precaution, and we hope our own city, as well as the State generally will follow the example.
