Indifference of ING


A gentleman who has regent ys passed
tarough thesgAat State of New York in
forms rs thatahe saw but few evidences on
his journey, indicating that our country is
struggling for its existence. There was but
little military stir in that State, and be saw
nothing that manifested any interest in the
war until he arrived at Buffalo. At this
point a regiment was about leaving for
Washington, and considerable excitement
was occasioned by its departure. The great
anxiety of the mass of the people seemed
to be for the accumulation of money. The
moving of the immense grain crops of the
northwest, gives occupation to thousands
on the lines of the canals and railroads,
throughout that State, and the anxiety there
as to the fate of Washington is overshadOw-
ed by a feverish desire for eulation-ihqui-
ries as to its safety are supplanted by inqui-
Fies as to the price of wheat and corn
True to her commercial character, the En-
pire State has lost sight of her duty as a
patriotic State, in her desire to make
money
Under the act Of Congress, calling out
5OO,0 900 troops, New York's quota is about
$1,000. She has not, to-day, One-half that
number in the field Indiana's quota of
near 80, 600 is complete, and most Of her
soldiers are where danger is most threat
ening. The Governor of New York owes it
to the other portions of the country to draft
men into service, if the citizens of his State
are too much absorbed in making money to
defend the honor of their flag. We protest
against this war being leugtheued out for
years when it might be terminated in a few
months. 8t EA
This portion of the valley Of the Missis-
sippi is crushed out as between the upper
aud neither millstones. Our commerce IS
destroyed our intercourse with the con
sumers of orr manufactured products is cut
off and the pecuniary interests of our. Peo-
pie sacrificed. They have submitted to these
priYations even cheerfully They have
flocked to the defense of the Government,
under the impression that all portions Of
the country would manifest an eqaul patri-
otism, the war be brought to a speedy ter
mination, and business resume its old chan
nels They knew the North has the men
and means to annihiate the South, and they
did not anticipate that large portion OF
the northern people would stay at home to
make money. The idea that the citizens OF
New England, New York and PennsyIva-
MIA would look to Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Indiana, Illinois and Ohio to defend Wash
ington, never entered their minds.

Objections to the Militia Law An
sVveFed.


Many who have been solicited tojoin the
Indiana Legion, object on the grounds that
they may be ordered to different parts of the
State, to repel invasion. They lose sight of
the fact that the organization is entirely
voluntary and that they can at any time,
withdraw from it. Besides, as we said yes
terday, there is not the slightest probability
that the Vanderburg Regiment viii be Or
dered away, to leave EvansyilIe-the most
exposed point in the State-unprotected.
The Legion is volunteer corps for the pro-
lection of the border, and though regiments
in Northern Indiana may be ordered South
ward to assist US in the defense of the State,
it is not within the range of probability
that we would be ordered out of the county
Others say that the organization will be
expensive--after our uniforms are purchased
and they are not able to pay anything to-
wards keeping up the Legion. Not a cent
will be required from any one for this pur-
pose. Our proportion of the military fund will
be:between four and Eve thousand dollars, thus
giving to each company, over four hundred
dollars to defray the expenses of organiza-
ton and contingent expenses. Statements
in relation to the law and its requirements
are every day made onsthe streets by men
who never read it, and who pretend to speak
advisedly of its provisions, and our citizens
have been misled and misinformed by the
patriots, who are willing to belong to a
Home Guard who shall stay at home sunless
the town is invaded" There seems to be a
reluctance ON the part ainour citizens to be-
long to any organization Which promises to
be of service. 1t is certainly no time for
slch child's play. Seven thousand Maiana
troops are now at Jeffersonville, ready to
cross the river and assist their Kentucky
brethren. Let Us at once organize a
regiment which will be capable Of doing
yeoman service for the great cause, in
which We are all interested Let it not be
said that the zeal of our enemies to over
throw the Government outstripped ours to
maintain it. =

''The report of the City Inspector" says
the New York Herald of the 9th May, 1860,
-" to the Board of Health, which we pub
lished yesterday, reveals an alarming state
of affairs ia the condition Of the public
health showing not only an increase of
1919 deaths within the past four months
over those Of last year, but frightfnl in
crease of mortality from scarlet fever, Group,
bronchitis and pneumonia-the decrease of
deaths from these diseases forms one-fouFth
of the total This fact warns US of the ne
cessity existing for some means of protection
against unskilied and half-educated Physi-
clans. The public are thus constantly ex-
posed to malpracticesat the hands of igno-
rant men, who follow the profession merely
as a means OF making money, without the
ambition or the qualifications which pertain
to the educated practitioner" How widely
different have been the results in the above
disorders from those who have used Hollo-
ways Pills and Ointment is manifest by the
fact that not single case of death occurred
wherever the Pills had been taken in time.
Thousands of mothers owe a debt of graft
tnde to Dr. Holloway for being the means
of saving the lives of their darlings. There
is no idle theory or speculation in the use of
these nae dieines. The effect is invariably
the sanle--sure and eertain-where all the
instructions given are strictly fulfilled The
Pills cool and purify the blood, while the
Ointment, locally applied in scarlatina,
eronp, or bronchitis, allay the inflammation
and speedily restores the little sufferer to the
enjoyment of health. In Europe, we learn
that hundreds of lives have been saved in
cases of diptheria, for which the Ointment
is a certain cure, and for all diseases affect
ing the throat, penetrating, as ii does, the

with sufficient celebrity to save the patient.

eE a private letter recently received
from Winchester, Va, says that terrible dis
tress has existed there for a long period,
caused not only By the generally distracted
condition of affairs in Virginia, but by the
fact that more than 1000 sick soldiers have
been quartered in the town, converting
nearly every house into hospital, and not
only requiring great attention from the in
habitants, but causing, in turn, much sick
ness among them.

Information has also been received that
there are other large bodies of rebels in that
section, and that if salt, coffee, &C., were not
soon received, general distress would ensus
both to the army and families, The scouts
saw not living soul except the negro in
the country. The wheat had been harvest
ed, but the corlfelds were drying up. From
the best information obtained, there is but
little doubt that Gen. Johnson's army, now
moving in detail from opposite Washington
towards this section, fully reaches, if il does
not exceed, the highest estimate given by
rumer. Neither is it impossible that John
son will endeavOr to cross the Potomac in
the neighborhood of the Monocraey, with a
view of attempting to reach Frederick with
a view Of protecting the Legislature while
they pass an ordinance of secession, trusting
to the well-known secession sentiments Of
Baltimore and the lower counties, to raise
the standard of rebellion, and divide and
weaken the Union army. Either this
movement or an abrupt abandonment of the
whole line of the Potomac appears inevEta-
BILE.
