IA A correspondent Of the New York
Tribune, who was present at the capture of
Port Royal, says" Captain John Rogers,
now the Commander of the sloop- of.war
Flag, who had been on board the Wabash,
acting as aid to Flag Officer Dupont during
the fight, was at once sent on shore in a
boat with flag of truce to ascertain if the
fight was real or feint. Ee found the fort
entirely deserted, and Immediately with his
own hands ran up tie Stars and Stripes on

of Thursday, November 7, 1861, the Amer

on South Carolina fort, for the first tir.s
since it was hauled down at the diseraceful
capture Of Fort Sumpter. The thousands
OF men on the transports witnessed the
event with frantic delight, and hailed the

limit, either in number or in enthusiasm,

PERsoNAL.-The Philadelphia Press tells
this story: 1t now appears that when Mr..
Siidel!, in company with Mr. James ~
Mason, of Virginia, departed for Europe.
he took with him his wife and interesting
son and daughters. Shrewd men in this
quarter, who know the willy Louisiana Sen
ator, predict that it is his intention never to
return; that 50 far from caring about the
interests of the CoDfeleracy. be is only too
glad to be rid of it, and that, if reverse
should happen to Davis & Co., he will
quietly settle down and cultivate his for
eign tastes, leaving his friends at home to
take care Of themselves. 1t is also assert
ed that during his stay at Richmond he be-
came exceedingly unpopular by his naughty
and dlctatorial manner, and particularly by
his malignant persecution of the Northern
prisoners. He never was liked in Louisi-
ana, and thousand of Union men who have
been compelled to espouse secession blamo
him for driving them into the conspiracy.

QUARTERMAsFER GENERALS OFFICE,
INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.


.eEs -Ez8 INDIANA VOLUNTEERS,
Indianapolis, Nov. %, 1861.
To the Ladies of Indiana:
The Qnartermaster General desires, on
his own behalf and that of the Chief Mag
istrate of the State, to acknowledge. in the
most public manner, their great Indebted
ness to the patriotic women of Indiana for
their prompt and liberal response to the re-
cent proclamation of the Executive, asking
donations of blankets and other supplies for
our troops in the field. The pecuniary val
ne of the donations received at this Depart
ment cannot be readily estimated, but they
have reached many tons. As far as possible
all specific donations have been distributed,
as well as large quantities simply designat-
ed by the donors "FOr the most needy"
Several tons, however, of both descriptions
of goods are still in store, which will be
sent forward as the necessities of different
regiments are made known, and their con-
dition, whether stationary or in motion,
makes it advisable and safe.
The object Of the present circular is to
apprize the liberal and patriotic women of
Indiana, that when the donations which
may now be partially prepared shall be sent
in, they may consider the supply as sufti-
Gent for the present. save only in the article
of gloves or mittens. More of these are
still needed, and it is requested, in compIi-
ance with suggestions of military men, based
on experience, that they be knit with a
thumb and fore-fnger, as more comfortable
than ordinary gloves, and more convenient
than ordinary mittens.
A suggestion in former circular in re-
lation to Hospital supplies must be emphat-
ically repeated. Hereafter this Department
will decline tn formard or rarafya xyiroO
Jelllies, preserves canned fruits, or eatables
of any d. s,riplion. In numerous instances
valuable articles Of clothing and bedding
have been fouled by the breaking or leak
ing Of vessels badly packed and the con-
tents themselves spoiled and wasted 1t is
hoped past experience will be sufficient on
this point.
Editors throughout the State will confer
renewed favor by giving this circular an
insertion. j. H. VAJEN,

New CoMPANY.-Mr. Joseph Cox, the
gentlemanly Ex.deputy Sheriff of our
county, informs us that he is raising a com
pany for Col. Owens regiment now organ
ling at Indianapolis. Already he has
quite a list of names, and he has no doubt
he will be able to fill his company in a very
short time. Those desiring to connect
themselves with a regiment under one
of the most competent Colonies in the west
and under genial as well as competent
captain will leave their names at Or. Bray's
office on First street.

What was said at the late Prentice
Supper.

The telegraphic correspondents of the
Cincinnati papers have reported that at the
late supper given to Geo. D. Prentice, by
Mr.. Eorney, Secretary Cameron reiterated
his opinion that, as last resort, we ought
to arm every man who desires to strike for
human liberty" Secretary Smith is re-
ported as having dissented from the propo-
sition, and we are led to infer that dis
graceful squabble took place between two
Secretaries, who were probably more or less
under the influence of Heidsick's best wine.
The telegraphic reporters-not belonging to
the 'circle" invited upon that particular
occasion-no doubt obtained their informa-
ton from a well paid servant, sharp enough
to know that such report as he gave,
would be pleasing to his employers, who
were in search of q sensation " para
graph. Mr.. Forney has reported to his own
paper what really was said, and it appears
that the language attributed to Mr.. Cam
eron was not used by him, or anything
similar to it. The Louisville Journal has

in favor Of arming the negroes of the South

What shall we dos
The capture Of Mason and Slidell is like
~ to give rise to questions of serious mo-
ment. | can most heartily endorse
your editorial re- in yesterdays issue ::
We have not ack 'gledged the Confeder-
ates as belligere Il persistenty refuse
to do So One OF our most serious COM
plants against England ia, that she mani
tests disposition to regard them as a bel
igerent power or nation" Strike out the
words "or nation" and | endorse fully.
You continue We refuse to carry on the
contest as with belligerent nation by OBJ
jecting to an exchange of prisoners, and by
pretending to treat their sailors and marines
as pirates, not entitled to the rights of
>belligerents." The policy you indicate,
think, must in the end prevail Why not,
then, acknowledge them as belligerent
power at once, and let the question be, as
between all belligerents, an open field and
a fair fight, and to the victors belong the
spoils. This is the issue the South seeks and
asks for. If this should be conceded by us.
then, according to all the laws of war and
laws Of nations, the conquering party must
give direction to future affairs In the
contest as thus marked out, think there is
little doubt on the part of the people of the
North as to who the victors would be. The
question of the South would be "slavery."
universal and permanent on this continent
The question with the North would be
liberty and freedom, North, South, East
and West" If the South, in such con-
test, should be beaten, they must acknowl-
edge themselves, not subjugated, but fairly
whipped, with the loss of their slaves in
the bargain.
There are some objections to this plan.
One is, that Union men, who are slavehold-
ers, must suffer This, however, could be
easily provided for by just compensation
The more serious difficulty to my mind is
that according to such arrangement, we
could not have the privilege and pleasure of
hanging JEFF. Davis and company after we
get our paws upon him.

SOME STARTLING STATIsTICs.-The cotton
dearth is already beginning to produce de-
plorable results. The reports which reach
as from the manufacturing districts are sad
~ suggestive of the sufferings of the arti-
sans, yet they must probably be regarded as
loretaste of a still more lamentable state
of things to come. Already we have re-
turns from s36 mills, employing in the az
gregate l72, 257 hands. OF these ONLY C4
1913 are in full work / ,572 lose one day
55,397 two days, and 28,832 three DAYS IN
each week, and s,063 are thrown into total
idleness. These figures have a very ter
rible significance. The life of a factory
operative is at best hard struggle. To be
cast entirely out of employment means in
most cases utter restitution and short time
inevitably entails privations varying in
severity with the extent to which Industry
is suspended. Worse than all, the evil is TO
be rather aggravated than diminished as
the winter advances, and the toiling masses
will find not only their comforts but their
command of common necessaries lessened
IN proportion as the growing inclemency of
the season renders the need for them more
urgent. The prospect is a dismal one, but
so far as this year is concerned there is no
help for it.

W HAT LITTLE GIRL HAS DoNE-On the
cars between Dnnkirk and Buffalo, N. Y.
may be seen daily a pretty, delicate looking
girl, perhaps twelve or fourteen years old,
who goes from car to car, selling some little
books OF religious nature, pablshed by
the American Tract Society. She first dis
tributes through the car printed indorse-
ment from the Superintendent of the vari-
Gus railroads which she travels on, to the
effect that she supports herself and sick
mother, and is worthy OF patronage. After
being introduced, she asks you TO purchase
one OF her little books, price ten cents, and
seldom does her request, made in a sweet
modest tone, accompanied by a winning
smile, meet with a refusal. During her
leisure hours, since the &c began, our he
rolne has made five bundled and eighty
pin-cushiOns and knit twenty-five pairs of
wooden socks, all of which she has dis
tributed herself to Ohio soldiers in Western
Virginia. Her days work, ordinarily, has
been TO sell on two trains a day but her
mother has, at her earnest request, allowed
her to sell on three trains day, and the
proceeds of her sales on the train are de-
voted to the soldiers. Thus does this noble
little girl strive to soften the hardshins of
the defenders Of her beloved country. 1t
requires no strength of the Imagination to
believe that to the rough soldiers, far away
from home and friends, this lovely girl ap-
pears ike an angel of light as she moves
among them with her gifts.
