N. B. i liner, Chairman Of the Democratic
State Central Committee, has issued a call for a
State Convention, 10 be held AZ indianapolis on
the 9Th day Of January. 1852. As announced by
the committee, the duties TO be performed by the
Convention will be 20 consider the state OF the
country. and place IA nomination candidates for
the various State Offices to be filled at the general
election in October Of said year. according to
the aPSortionment appended to the call. Dear
born county viii be entitled 10 ten delegates-the
State at large $40. 4
We are glad TO see this movement on the part
of the Central Committee. IL is a lick in the
right direction, and at the proper time. We hope
the Democracy will give the call a hearty re
Spouse in every part of the State, and make the
convention of the 9Th Of January a complete sue
cess. In addition to the number of regular dele
gates TO which each county is entitled, we desire
TO see them send upa large number OF contingent
delegates. BY this means il can be made equal
in numbers. enthusiasm and Importance to any
convention that has ever been held in the State.
We hope our county will send up at least one
hundred contingent delegates. Let other coun-
ties in this section of the State, in the selection OF
delegates, emulate the example. Ii is the time
to organize-it is the time to prepare to engagein
the contest of 1862. Let every Democrat do his
duty, and his whole dutyl-Laurenceburg Reg

Horrible Confession.

1t may be recollected by many of our readers,
that about four years ago we published the awful
account OF the burning of the house of the Per-
kins family at Milburn, at night, when all the
family, including father and mother, grandmotl
er and eight children, eleven in all, persisted in
the 6amesl A Scotchman, by the name of Wal
ter Mitchell, who lived in the Leighborhood at
the time, and who had a dispute with Perkins as
to the property, was suspected of the murder, but
no proef could be found against him. He left
soon after for the West. Before the burning of
the house he warned Perkins off the premises,
and threatened, if he did not leave, to burn the
house over his head.
This Mitchell recently died in Illinois, and ON
his death bed confessed that he committed the
horrible crime! He stated that he threw into the
house a bottle Of liquid, which set fire to it, and
supplied the inmates-tI,at Mr.. Perkins aroused
himself and came TO the door, when he knocked
him back again, killing him.
This is a most revolving story, disclosing a de
pravity which was too horrible to die with the
murderer. If there be, in the internal regions,
one place deeper and hotter than another, this
eleven fold murderer will find it.

We are happy TO state that il is untrue. as has
been reported. that Gen. MoCLELLAs had ex-
pressed himself as being satisfied with the result
of the action at Edwards Ferry. On the other
hand Gen. MCCLELLAN was mortified and deeply
panied at the bIunder of Gen. Stone, and did not
leave Edwards Ferry till he had seen every Union
soldier safe on the Maryland shore, the wounded
properly cared for, and all things put back in the
sane condition (as near as might be- as they were
the previous Sunday morning. When he re
turned to Washington he expressed himself as
satisfied with the behavior Of the troops and of
all the officers" engaged in the "actioH." The
officers in Gen. BANKs's division who were en-
gagged or had direction of that unfortunate affair,
should be promptly court martialed, and it found
incompetent. as they doubtless are, should at
once be relieved from their commands.

A soldier writing from one of the camps on the
Potomac, thus alludes to The peculiar music made
by bullets passing through the air:
1t is a very good place to exercise the mind,
with the enemy's picket rafting close at hand. A
musical ear can study the different tones of the
bullets as they skim through the air. l caught
the pitch of a large sized MIME yesterday-it was
a swell from K fat 10 +, and as it passed into the
distance add lost its velocity, receded to D-a
very pretty change. One of the most startling
sounds is that produced by the Hotchkins shell.
Itcomes like the shrek of n demon, and the
bravest old soldier feels like ducking when be
hears il. 1t IS no more destructive than some
other bullets, but there is a great deal in mere
sound to work upon mems fears. The tremen-
dous scream is caused by a ragged edge of lead
which is left on the she'll. In favorable positions
of light the phenomena can sometimes be seen.
as you stand directly behind a gun, OF the cling
ing of the air to the ball. The ball seems to
gather up the atmosphere and carry it along, as
the earth carries its atmosphere through space.
Men are frequently killed by the wind of a can
non shot. There is a law which causes the at
m~osphere to cling to the earth, or which presses
upon it with a force, at the surface, of fifty pounds
to the square inch; does the same law, or a modi-
~fcation, pertain to cannon balls in fight? | do
not remember of meeting with a discussion of
the subject in any published work. 1t is certain
ly an interesting philosophic question.

Sonfhern

The leading Republican press are endeavoring
20 create the impression that a large portion of
the people of the South aid the rebellion from a
miSapprehension of the true state OF public senti-
ment at the North, and if they understood
that the object in prosecuting the war was not
ON account of hostility to their interests and
domestic Institutions, but simply to maintain the
Constitution and preserve the Government, they
would cease hostilities and gladly welcome the
army OF the Union. We notice that some Dem
ocratic papers coincide in this view of the case.
Let Us grant that such is Il proper representa-
ton of tae sentiment entertained by a respecta
BILE proportion of the Southern people and the
question naturally arises how are these unjust
prejudices to be removed? Can it best be done
by hostile armies invading their soil? Can they
be made to love the Union by the exercise of
force? If the South is in error in regard TO
the purposes which aniriate the people of the
North, can We not best disabuse those errone-
Gus impressions by an expression of public SEN
timent that will assure them that there is no
intention or desire on our part to interfere with
or deprive them of their just rights under the
Constitution. If this misspprehension exists in
the Southern mind, a. is asserted by the repub-
lican press, would il not be wise to thus disa-
buse il and in that way strike a heavy
blow at the rebellion? We firmly believe
that the country would now be at peace and the
Union have been strengthened if the last Con-
gress had adopted the CRIrrENDES amendments.
That measure would have given the Southern
people the best guarantee that We could have of
ferred them that we intended no war upon their
constitutional rights or domestic institutions.
And, even now, if we are compelled to prosecute
the war to tie bitter end, our arms will be
strengthened and those of the enemy proportion
ately weakened, if We can convince and assure
the moderate and conservative people of the
South that a similar class in the North, which
comprises an overwhelming majority, has no
sympathy with abolitionism and that they would
60 as far to maintain the rights and the institu-
tons of the people of each and all the States as
they are now endeavoring to uphold and preserve
the Government. Could any harm arise from
this expression of sentiment by a Convention
representing the conservative people of Indianal
Could we, in any other way, better correct the
errors of the Southern people in regard to North
ern sentiment, which the Republican press repre-
sent is the principal prop of the rebellion?

James A. McMasters. Esq, editor of the late
Freeman's Journal, WIS released yesterday from
Fort Lafayette. by order of Secretary Seward.
The condition of his release was, that he should
take the oath of allegiance prescribed by Congress
to support the Constitution and Government of
the United States. which he did-at the same
time protesting against the requirements as being
without warrant of justice or law. Mr.. McMas-
tiers states that while he has ground OF complaint
in his own case, the treatment extended to many
of the State prisoners in the Fort is not only ex-
ceedingly harsh toward them. but unworthy OF
the Government of the United States. They are
not only deprived of the comforts to which they
have been accustomed. but OF very many things
absolutely essential to their health. IL would be
we'll for the Secretary of State to cause some in
quiries to be made into this matter. as he certain
ly has no disposition to make the condition of
these men, most Of whom are under arrest mainly
as a measure of precaution, any more painful
than the necessity of the case may require.

Captain Gaddis's cavalry company left the
city on Saturday morning over the Jacksonville
Railroad.
William Wilson, of indianapolis, has been
appointed Brigadier Commissary. He will be

The Washington correspondent of the Gin

p~rivates and Sergeants to Second Lieutenancies
have been read to the companies, who received
them with the greatest interest. They have a

-DRILLISG AT CAMP MoRroN.-We have
heard of a Captain, lately a Railroad Conductor,
who. seeing that his squad we're in the act of
"butting up" against a fence, in bis hurry to halt
them shouted, "Down brakesl down brakesl'' So
it was with one of our enthusiastic and patriotic
Captains who was showing the evolutions of his
corps to some ladies on Saturday last at Camp
Morton. His commanding officer. a distinguished
Colonel, had given the order to the whole regi-
ment to ''halt." Our Captain is a little deaf,
damsels. So soon as he understood the state OF
the case he hallooed "Whoal whoa!' at the top of
his voice and brought his gallant soldiers up
standing Immediately.
Major Erie Locke. Paymaster in the army.
arrived in the city on Saturday last from Western
Virginia. Major Locke saw and conversed with
Captain Bracken, at Beverly. The Captain is
slowly recovering from the hurt he received
some time since by his horse falling on him. He
was in good spirits, and the men of his command
generally well. Perhaps Captain Bracken. unless
the activity of the enemy should demand his re-
naming, viii be home within a few weeks, on a
short leave Of absence

Events of so strange a character happen in
Missouri every day that we are not certain wheth-
er the authority OF the Union is nominal or real
in that State. The Missouri Democrat. General
FREMoNT's accredited organ. and in the interest,
too, of The contractors, speaks as follows of the
probable removal of FRExoxr:
BY the Union men of Missouri this matter is
well understood. The people of the great North
west understand it. Their sympathies are in
tensely Interested in the just cause OF Fremont,
and whatever may betide him they uiH stand by
him. The controlling facts Of the case can not
be confused or ignored before any considerable
portion of the country. Fremont's soldiers vivid
" appreciate and deeply feel them from n per
sonal experience of their truth, and would. un-
questionably, receive his removal, should this at
last be consummated, in a spirit of intense sorrosp
and resentment II nouId be easy 10 prescribe
rules Of p~ropriefy and euen of patriotism 10 such
resentment, but IL is impossible TO soy h0sr much
mischief r0uld snsue before those rules r0ald be
obeyed. We beliere that only Fremont personal
infergositi0R could, in the case supposed, acerf in

The italics are not the Democrats. but the sen
fences so emphasized are so remarkable in the
organ of a subordinate of the President that they
marked, to feel the entire force of the extract,
that St. Louis is under martial law. and that Gen.
FREMoST, in the case of the Ecening Neps, has
evinccd that the press of that city is under a Ma
poleonic censorship. which will permit no publ
cations that are displeasing to the majesty Of the
commander OF the West. No one can read the
extract without understanding that it means that
the army in Missouri viii not submit to a change
of Generals without FREMoxT's permission. Mark

The direct Tax.

The Connecticut Legislature have voted to
raise the quota of the direct tax apportioned them
at the late session of Congress, without the inter
ference of the officers of the general government.
We presumc that Wisconsin and all other loyal
States rill adopt the same course. The compile
Gated and bungling machinery provided for by
the law should never have been proposed, and
now should be cast aside by unanimous consent.
The constantly increasing crowd of civil Office
holders is already sufficient in size to eat up much
more than the ordinary revenues of the govern
ment, without adding to it the innumerable hordes
unnecessarily provided for by the act OF Congress
in question.
