We copy the following paragraph from
the New Albany Ledger. the leading Dem
ocsatic paper in Southern Indiana. for the
purpose of making some of the Democrat
ic traitors in this vicinity blush. If not to-
tally lost TO all sense of shame
Congress has passed. with only five dis
senting voices. a resolution pledging to the
President any number of men and any
amount of money that he may need in or
der to suppress the rebellion in the South.
Such being the almost unanimous deter
of Congress. we have no doubt
that the burdens imposed and to be impos-
ed will be cheerfully borne by the people.
To restore the Union and make it what it
once was would be worth many times q
million men and Eve hundred million dol
lars.

"a Zouave who had been wounded tells
some thrilling adventures. He gives the
