Banners Of thu Second and Third Regiments
Indiana Volunteers.
By MRs. SARAH T. BoLroN.
They had gathered, they had gathered,
AT a pTosd and massive dome,
From many a cheerful hearh-stOne,
From many quiet homei
The gay, the young, the beautiful,
The old, with hOary hair,
The gallant aud the talented
Had gathered, gathered there.
There were bright eyes, softly beaming,
There were gems aud raven curls,
And the sIlvery sounding voices
OF happy-hearted girls;
There were faces sad and solemn,
There were aspects high aud proud,
For the gravest aud the nooiest
Met aud mingled in the crowd.
Had they come TO see a pageant,
OF the merry olden time,
That the quaint and ancient poets
Loved to chronicle in rhyme
Had they come the triumph
OF the painters deathless art
Had they come to hear an actor
Tell a story Of the heart
What means that sudden silence,
Broken only by sigh
Why does the tear-drop tTemble,
In the light Of beauIy's eyer
Why does that darkling shadow
Gather over manhoOd's brow!
Why does the young lip culver,
Aud the cheek grow pallid now
They are gazing at old banners;
Faded, sOiled and tatlered things.
With their stripes, all rent and trailing,
Like an eagles broken wings;
They gazing, long and sadly,
On each little crimson stain;
They reading, there, the record,
or the gallant, gallant slain.
They are reading of the conflict,
Where the flashing sabre CLEANED;
Where the lesden bullets ratified;
Where the crimson life-tide stTcamed.
They are reading Of young KINDER,
How he fought, and how be fell
Oh, mournful, mournful story,
Can those tatieTed banners tell.
They can tell Of noble TAeGARr;
OF his high and holy trust,
When his dying words were uttered
"On, on, our cause is just"-
They can tell Of gallant WALKER;
TrUest, bIavest Of the brave,
Falling with soldiers laurels;
Sleeping in a soldiers grave.
They can tell of young hearts broken;
They can tell of woman's tears;
They can tell how death has wasted
All the hoaI ded love OF years;
They can tell the sneeTing sceptc
That the spirit of our siTes,
Dwelleih still, m freedoms temple,
To protect our altaT-fres.
Where the lannon's voice was loudest;
Where the boldest deeds were wrought;
Where the good, the true, lay dying;
Where the nOblest, bravest fought,
Ever foremost with the daring;
Ever ia the thickest fight,
Did those hope-inspirng banners
Meet The fsiuting soldiers sight
And he hailed them, as the sailor
Halls the beacon from the mast,
When his gallant bark is struggling
With the fury Of the blast;
He hailed them, as the wanderer
Halls the besming of a star,
That reminds him of his childhood,
And his quiet home sfar.
Keep them keep them Indiana
Lay them on thy proudest shrine;
For the dim, the distant future,
No holier gift is thine.
Thy fair, thy peerless, daughters
Wrought those stars of cleaning gold;
And thy noble sons fought bravely
Beneath their shsdosy fold.
Wreath the cypress with the laurel;
Bind each worn and faded shred;
They proud but sad mementos
OF thy gallant, gallant dead.

MoRSE's TELEGRAPH AND THE ENGLISH TELEGRAPH.
MIR. French the President of the Magnetic Tele-
graph Company, taking statement of the expense
of teegraphing one hundred words to Liverpool from
London, distance of 225 miles, makes a comparison
of these charges with those on Morse's line:
"The distance from Washington to New York is
two hundred and twenty-five miles, and a message of
one hundred words is transmitted ordinarily In FIVE
minutes, but sometimes in three minutes and half,
at charge Of FIVE dollars for the first hundred words
but only three dollars and thirty-hree cents for the
second and for each following hundred words. The
comparative efficiency Of the American and English
systems of electric teegraphs is therefore easily stat
ed and comprehended:
English telegraph. 100 WORDS 900 miles,
10 min, S22 20
American telegraph, 100 words. 225 miles,
D mn., So 90
That England is not reaping the vastly superb
advantages of the American teegraphic system,
owing to the injustice of her Attorney General, in
1885, in most unwarraniably refusing grant Profess
Morse's application for patent at that time.
plea false fact, but had it been fact, illegal
In Its application. An illustration Of the old adage
that might makes right forcibly ex-
hibIted than in the course pursued by the English
Attorney General upon the application of Professor
Morse at that time.
1t is hoped for the credit of Great Britain that she
will yet do that justice to the Professor which is due
by all the world to public Senefactor."

0yWe call the attention of our readers to the
beautiful lines written by Mrs. SARAH T. BoLToN, OF
this city, on the occasion Of the presenment Of the
flags, as noticed in our last paper. Her fame
poetess of the highest order is known well in the
west; and we have noticed many of her pieces copied
by our eastern cotemporares who hesated not to be-
stow on them their encomiums. And we hesitate not
TO say, that she far excels mary who have gained
name and renown," by contributing TO the things
called Magazines" The piece to which we now
refer, although somewhat local in its character con-
sequent its subject, is touching, SO feelngly
patriotic that it must and will cause thrill in every
American bosom.

he was cornered and the parties separated, when Mr..
E. went and complained of himself and got himself

the case, except far the publications

From the Brookriiie Democrat.
Gov, WhitcOmb's Veto.

The following is G copy Of the Governors veto on
the Canal bill, which proposed giving TO the company
all the profits of the Canal, thus leaving large
amount of funds, expended by the State, in the
structon of this work dead stock the State and the
company receiving the profits of the investment. As
much WING friends prone to abuse the veto
power, we know that many of them fully approved of
the veto of the Canal bill referred 10. In fact all
who viewed the matter in all its bearings, frankly adj
nit that Gov. Whitcomb did just what any faithful
guardian of the public interests would have done
der similar circumstances Justice to all concerned
should be the motto of all men entrusted with tho
guardianship of the interests of community, and in
this act of our Executive he has proven himself a
worthy repository of the confidence of the people
Knowing the lengths to which political prejudice will
drive some men, we had anticipated repetition of
the farce enacted last winter, yceped "indgnation
meeting" but the lessons of the past have not been
entirely fruitess, and those who butt their heads
against the rights of the not generally
found anxious to exercise their particular talents at
battering again; when they have learned that they
have Weakened up the wrong passengers, then dscre-
ton supercedes the promptings of political gall.
Towards the stockholders of the canal we have
other than the most friendly feeling; for the in
terests Of our valley feel more deeply inter-
ested but when RIGHT and WRONG plainly set be-
fore us, was the in the vetoed canal bill,
nothing short of an abuse of conscientious convic-
tons, and the epousal of could account for our
approval Of such a measure. As to public sentiment
in regard to the Governors veto satisfied that
Governor Whtcomb is this day stronger in the val
ley than he prior TO his refusal to sanction the
bill referred to. Appended to the message will be
found the action of the Senate the subsequent
sderation of the BILL by which it will be that the
message was sustained by that body.

A Fatal occurrence.

Eleazar Luse came his death on Saturday last by
4 blow from Hiram Castor, Of the firm of H. g. Z.
Gasson coach makers of this city.
The case was examined the same evening before
the Mayor of the city. DAVID WALLACE, Esq, sp-
peared for the State and o. H. SMITH, ESQ.,, for the
defendant.
The only person that the occurrence,
nmined and testified before the Mayor TO the facts, in
substance, that the deceased apprentice the
Gastons between 20 and 81 years of age; that at
the time the difficulty occurred deceased and Hiram
Castor working in the smith shop at the same
fire; deceased trying TO fit plate of iron to a
buggy, and not succeeding Castor told him TO let him
have it and he would heat it and fix it deceased
swered "I not" CASTOR then took hold Of the iron
with both hands, CASTOR then told him 10 let 60, and
they both pulled the iron deceased replied III won't"
Castor then got mad and instantly picked up ham,
mer. swedgc hammer. weighing about pound. and
struck side blow that hit deceased on the left side
of his neck deceased fell. Castor raised him, threw
water in his face, sent for the DOCTOR and tried to
bring him to. Deceased breathed but few minutes,
and never spoke. Up to the moment that CASTOR
picked up the hammer they were both in a good hu-
NOR that if the blow had hit the body of deceased it
might not have injured him. Witness has no idea that
CASTOR intended to kill deceased, deceased and him
the most friendly and social terms up to the
occurrence. CASTOR manifested deep anguish and dis
tress at the occurrence.
Mr.. Wallace for the State offered other testimo-
ny, and Mr.. Smith for Castor said he would submit
the case on the testimony of the State
The Mayor was briefly addressed by the counsel.
when he decided that the case was Mansaughter,
and required the defendant to enter into recognzance
with good security for his appearance at the next term
of the Circuit court. Bail now fixed at $1,000.
