Tuesday, April 81, says =
1--WE have 5000 volunteer troops in Camp
Morton, awaiting orders, all OF whom have
come in within four days, and most of whom
have joined their companies within five or six
days. Party lines are all obliterated here.
All Indiana is for war. Thousands are offer
ing and anxious to go, but the requsition on
the governor is already filled. Ten days ago,
half the democrats in the state were openly
denouncing the administration, and many
avowed sympathy with the south; to-day, no
mans life's would be safe in the state who
should avow such sentiments. Last night,
ten Tennesseans, slave owners, came here to
enlist in our ranks. Good for them. Gov.
Morton is an active, decided man, equal 10 the
demands of the times. Every railroad train
brings in car load OF blankets, comforts, and
clothing, for the men. We employ 40 men in
our department"

caps waving of pocket handkerchiefs, ringing of
bells, and many other enthusiastic demonstrations,

fired. Fitting, now-eminently fitting indeed, is it
to fling out the glorious old flag over the genuine
cradles of liberty.
1t was first proposed upon the happy suggestion
of Mr.. Punch, Esq, to have nothing but the blue
