Mr.. B. carried on the ginseng business at his
establishment above Delphi until the close of
1880, flour years. at which time his lease on
Gen. MS land expired. After closing his Carroll
County Factory, he established one at Logans-
port, which he carried on two years. In 1882 he
set one in operation at Frankfort; in 1893, anoth-
er at Marion, Grant county, and in 1884, another
at Leesburgh, Kosciusko county. He finally dis
continued that trade in 1885.

It is proper to aod before closing this brief
sketch, that Mr.. Blake was married on the 29th
day of March, 1881 to Miss Eliza SprOle of Bal
timore, Maryland, by whom he has four living
sons.
Since Mr.. B. discontinued the ginseng business
in 1895, his operations have been principally con-
fined to the city of indianapolis. He is univer-
sally acknowledged to be one of her most useful,
gifted and pIblic spirited citizens. His name has
always been found at the head of the lists in eve
ry benevolent enterprise. 1t may be truly said
that he is identified with the prosperity of the city
of his residence. His heart is the home of benev-
olence, and the poor and friendless are sure to
frd in him a ready and willing hand.
Such is but n very inDerfect account of n man
whose whole life has been made up of noble, un-
selfish and benevolent acts.
He is at present the commander of the Silver
Gray Home Guard of indianapolis, and the writer,

days. Long may he live, for when he goes to his
rest, his place can neUer be supplied.

Views of the Commanding officer at
Cairo.

From letter written by one of the most
respectable citizens of Kentucky, We make the
following extract, as exhibiting the views and in
tentions of the distinguished commanding officer
of the United States army at Cairo:
81 went up to Cairo the other day to look at
things. / saw some of the troops, and they were
fine looking body of men. They were certainly
well armed and drilled. Gen. Prentiss, who Is
one of the most affable and gentlemanly men
ever met with, told me he had a number of men
in the ranks who were worth from fifty TO hun
dred thorsand dollars, and that they educated
and intelligent accordingly. He said they had
taken up several runaway slaves since they had
been there, and handed them over to their masters
without loss or trouble. wanted to know what
he thought of Harper's suggestion of $4,000
negroes coming upon US from Ohio He said his
command would be among the first to meet any
such army and put them down, or any insurrec-
ton Of negroes; that nothing of that kind would
be suffered; that whenever the army of the United
States shall go into the Southern States, the in
stitution of slavery will be protected by it..
Fugitive slaves, it appears, are returned prompt
" from Cairo to their owners, and certainly they
will be returned to Kentucky from the whole
northern shore Of the Ohio so long as Kentucky
shall remain in the Union But, any one
suppose that they would continue TO be returned,
after Kentucky, by joining the Southern Con-
federacy, should make war upon United Statesi

The spo,lsmen ana the war.

We learn that a Republican committee from
this city has been to Washington from this city,
to insist that the President will turn out the Dem
Oerats who now fill Offices in the Custom House.
Post office and navy yard, in order to fill their
places with Republicans, the principle that "to
the victors belong the spoils." This may be very
good doctrine in time of peace for the yictors but
materially alters the case, and the victory
won at the ballot box has vet to be secured by
other victories in the field The rebels of the
Southern States deny the validity of the victory
won on the 9Th of November. and it must now
be vindicated by the sword Wewould therefore
suggest to those who are so impatient to get the
offices supposed to be won by the result of the
Presidential election to apply through the proper
authorities to the President for an Office in the
army or navy to aid in making good that election
from Maryland to Mexico. Having thus served
Uncle Sam, we think they would be fairly en-
titled to fill such Offices might be made vacant
by any misconduct of the present holders.
At present the Democracy are enrolled in the
ranks of the Union army in the proportion OF at
least five for every Republican and is this time
to carry out the doctrine of political prescription,
when it has been declared that political distinc
tions are ignored, and all parties united in de
fence of the Constitution, the Union and the
Laws? Already injury has been done by reno
walls. some of them in the case of men whose
brothers had gone forth to do battle for the
country. We trust that the President will lend
deaf ear to all applications from sc,f-const-
tuted committees of the description we have
indicated. There is no time now for the dis
tributon of offices. The work on hand is
fighting. Let the Republican Office seek
ers first take turn at that, and after
wards take their chance for the Offices their sue
cess depends their valor in the tented field.
The radical wing of the Republican party have
done as much as the secessonists to bring civil
war upon the country, and the Democracy of the
North are now bravely enrolling themselves with
the conservative Republicans in the rank and file
of the army to repair the mischief that has been
done How could the Government, if it desires to
see itself sustained and the Union rescued from
its peril be guilty of the suicidal folly of creating
discomfort in the North, by giving monopoly OF
the offices to faction, at a moment when united
front is essential to safety and success?-N. Y.

War Movements.

WASHINGTON, Thursday, June O.
There is lull in the military excitement which
may, however, be but prelude TO action. Gen
SCOTS plans appear so far, to have been carried
out to his satisfaction, and he viii probably soon
be able to reach some of the great results at hich
he aims He has said, in reference 10 his designs,
that he has never heretofore retreated before a
foe, and he will never take step forward unless
quite sure that he will not be obliged to retreat.
1t has been supposed here. Tor a dav or two.
that an advance would be made upon the Con-
federate force at Manassas Junction, which Is
strongly fortified. But there will be no great
battle there. The field works and heavy batter
les Of the Confederates will not probably be at
tackled because there is no necessity for u. Gen:
Scott can, and probably will, send forward two
detachments. each of fifteen thousand men. which
will take position, one upon the. Manassas branch
of the railroad, and the other upon the Orange
Railroad, and thus cut off the communications OF
the Confederate army, both with Richmond and
with Harpers Ferry The Confederates must
then either come out and give battle in the opea
plain, or surrender vainly attempt retreat by
the common roads.
1t is supposed that this movement will be made
by General Scott before General Johnston can
possibly unite the Harper's Ferry troops with
those at Manassas Junction. Things look as IL
General Johnston had proposed 70 evacuate Har-
per's Ferry He can do nothing, as military men
tmately attempt to reach Richmond from that
place. After General Scott shall have taken pos
session of Harper's Ferry. means will be found
to re open the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
through its whole extent, very much TO the relief
of the trade of Baltimore.
An advance further into Virginia toward Rich
mond after the Manassas Junction shall be taken,
il, no doubt part of General SCOTS plan. But
il is not probable that the occupation Of Rich
mond will be attempted before autumn.
The Virginians have not succeeded in estab-
fishing any batteries on the Potomac Except the
one or two at Aqua Creek because OF the i'm
practicability OF their common roads. which rem
ders the transportation of heavy cannon very dif-
fcut and tedious. The barteries at Aqua Creek
can be easily senced when they shall be assailed.
as they now will be, by steamers armed with rife
cannon of large calbre.
There is no design of landing force at Acquia
Creek. Ii could not be held long by any small
detachment Of Federal troops. because any num-
Der of troops could be sent against them, by the
railroad. from Fredericksburg and Richmond.
The United States regular army Is yet to be
organized. Eight hundred officers-that IS 20 oh
Gers 10 each of the ten regiments, of 2,5OO mer-
are to be commissioned.
The Federal Government must also exchange
the three months men for three years men, be
fore it can be prepared to prosecute the war with
yigor. But next autumn il will he ready TO do
all that arms can do toward conquering peace

Sir Having heard some of the eva

sert, that the Democrats who signed the
call for '.Union Convention" and took
part in the proceedings of the same, were
hoodwinked by the political tricksters Of
the Union dodge movements, and having
seen the same asserted in that most de-
lect ,ble sheet, the Democratic Union,
l would mildly say, that the assertion, so
far as this township is concerned, (and
we are tire ones that the respectaJle(! editor
Of the "Union" referred to, is base
calumny on the gentlemen who thought
proper to sign that call, believing i, their
duty to forget party for once, and to raj.

the enforce ment of the laws.
But, Mr.. Editor, to you. and the patri-

say, from authority. that all in this town,

have rerpetrated one of their most bril-.

the name of a very respectable Democrat

When Mr.. DUNN published those
names he undoubtedly JeH yood--so good
that he Immediately sent each one a copy
Of the Union to inform them, 1 suppose
that they had done it. Now it was GER
talnly proper that he did SO, for had he
not. peIhaps Mr.. g. L. Carey, would not
have found cut SO soon. that Mr.. J. Il.
Chesney had been tampering with his
name, without authority. For no sooner
did he see bis name in that list than his
son came 20 town, and denied that his
.a,ner eversignsd his name there, or gave
any one the privilege SO to use it; and
further stated that his father signed the
Union call understandingly, and was still
satisfied. and that he wished it TO remain

also stated that his father would come to

matter. which he did, in a manner that
will certainly be convincing to Mr.. Ches.
