and eloquent Hoosier orators-RIcHARD w.
THOMPSON and CALEB b. SMITH, aud, probably,
GEORGE G.. Dunn, intend visiting this part of
the State about the 18th or 18Th inst. One of
our citizens who has lately returned from Ter

that he had made arrangements to bring c. B.

notice of the time he can be here. Therefore,
we say, let us have Grand Wing Rally of the

such steps as will be likely to insure large
turn out of the people from the country and the
surrounding counties. Let there be no time
lost, but TO work at once.

Germans and their descendants and they were
the first to nominate Gen. Taylor, which nom

thing to detract from the confidence then en-

(says the Baltimore American,) which COL
Bragg, in his lively description of the battle OF
Buena Vista, quotes as having been shouted by
a soldier, who came galloping up through a
cloud of dust al critical period Of the day, is
appropriate just now in the chaos of confusion,
distrust and alarm, in which the political ele-
ments and the public mind of the country are
involved. We have published the gallant Col
onel's speech, but the subjoined passage is wor-
thy of separate publication:
The ba tile was fought, you know the result
but you never can know the influence that
the presence of Gen. Taylor had upon the ar
nv. He alone, SO it has seemed to me, could
have inspired, BY presence, every soldier in
the army, as the Volunteers were Inspired
The contidenc e in him was complete. He had
commanded Volunteers before, and had been
successful with them. He had never surren-

idea got abroad, that he never could be. When

Minon had fallen upon our rear, and attacked

CO CAPT. OSBORN, who commanded a COM
IA, we see by our exchanges, has taken the
stump for his old commander, General Taylor.
He lately addressed large audience at Terre-
Haute, and he showed conclusively that TO
Generals Lane and Wool and not TO Gen. Tay-
Tor, is owing all the wrong done to our troops
and State. Capt. Osborn was in position to
see and know what took place on that field
and subsequently, and he takes it upon himself TO
rebuke the locoioco demagogues who are SLAM
dering the Old Hero. Capt o. is an honest
man, and has great weight in his section of the
country, and will be able 10 set this matter
right wherever he obtains hearing. We
know that the wholesale ISLANDERS that the To-
cofoco orators and editors have for the last three
months been so actively engaged in circulat-
ing in this State against Gen. Taylor are begin
ming TO react. The people are daily learning
the truth of the matter, and at the polls in No
vember they will rebuke these demagogues
who make trade Of politics and abuse every
man they cannot control. We give it as oul
honest opinion that Gen. Taylor will carry the
State by 5000 majority at least; and we dc
not jump to this belief because we wish it &c
be so. We see indications enough to satisf!
US every day that Gen. Taylors popularity il
on the increase. From every part of the Stat
we receive the most cheering accounts. Tn

it in another column of our paper. 1t is like

men, shall deem whatever statements they
have made TO be right and proper, and conf
dent in their integrity and in the sincerity o'
their friendship for me, | shall sustain them
without qualification. l therefore, now take
upon my own shoulders the responsibility o.
the acts Of the Louisiana delegation 10 that
Convention. and am prepared TO stand BY the
consequences in their length and breadth"
