TIE MILITARY HALL.-The original plan
for building the Military Hall has been
abandoned, and the dimensions will be $50
by SO feet, instead of $50 by l02 as first
contemplated. This change has been made
on account of the difficulty of collecting
funds for the purpose, and the want of la
borers. The hall will, however, be much
larger than any room in the city, and its
central position and easy access will. rem
der it capital rendezvous for the Legion.
The work is progressing steadily, though
a number of additional workmen could be
pro6tably employed. 7.s5 $50 e -1r

The News From Kentucky.

1t 10 no light task in these days Of I'M
founded rumors to elicit the truth, relative
to the position of the rebel forces across
the river. We confess our inability to make
a reliable report of the situation in the vi
entity of Green River and Henderson. A
messenger from SpottsviIle, who arrived
here yesterday morning reports that the
enemy 5000 strong were advancing toward
the lock and that our pickets had been driv-
en- in. Another statement made by man
who cams down on tbs Gillum. is that es-
terday morning, all was quiet at SpottsviIle
and that our scouts could obtain no relia-
BILE information of the whereabouts of the
enemy. Our forces at Lock No are
sufficient it is thought to hold the place
against any force-to use the stereotyped
phrase ikely to DO brought against it"
The reports from Henderson are conflicting
and unreliable Two hundred rebel troops,
the advance of Gen. Buckner's army, are
reported to have. been in Henderson yester-
day. Gen. Buckner was reported at Hop
kinsEille last Sunday The most intense
excitement prevails throughout the entire
country aud a Thousand. rumors are afloat
many of them without the slightest found
alton. By the Gurlew we learn that 400 of
the Home Guards, who had been disarmed
by the rebels at HopkinsvilIe, had arrived
in Henderson.

The Latest from Cheat HInuntain.
A letter from Capt. Hammer, who left
Cheat Mountain and General Reynolds
Camp on Thursday, the 26th, says that
while he was there the General ordered
bis brigade, consisting of number
OF regiments, to GdUGnce, and the inten-
ton was to find the enenly,and attack him
as soon as found. If this order has not
been countermanded, we shall soon have
lively news and deadly times in the Cheat
Mountain region. Indiana has nearly T.
600 men there, and we believe they are just
as goodmeu as be found anywhere, and
by this time are pretty well disciplined
soldiers. We shall await news from the
Mountain with anxiety.

S9The County election is near at hand.
Amid the excitement of the times, candi-
dates are forgotten, and it may be necessary
to remind our citizens that important offices
are to be filed. A number of patriotic
men offer to serve their county in the ca
pacities of County Auditor, County Com
missioner and Prosecuting Attorney. So far
as we are informed the question of the POI
litical standing of the different candidates
has not been preached They are all, we
believe, for the Union aud the enforcement
of the laws, and it only remains for good
citizens ts pass their Judgment upon the
honesty and capacity of the candidates.. By
reference TO our advertising columns, it viii
be seen who are the candidates, and for
what Offices they have been nominated.

ever, with much faith that should be benefited

doses, relieved Of the pain in my side and
chest, my appetite became good gained strength,
and in fact felt stronger and in better health than
had for a long time do not allow myself to be

else does any good willing at ali times and
know the iul particulars, and shall with pleasure
recommend them to all who may be afflicted with
Dyspepsia Liver Complaint, for l believe if
anything will give them relief, they will be
lieved by Hollands German Bitters. Many per-
sons in this district have used the Btters with
beneficial results, and I have no doubt you could
get number of certificates, we're you to ask for
them, for to my certain knowledge quite a number
have been very much bened by the use OF your

Capt. Bracken, of Indianapolis, we re-
greet to learn, was considerably famed By
the falling of his horse on Cheat Noun
tain, some time since. A private letter in
forms US that the Captain injury was very
severe, but that he would probably soon re-
cover entirely from in.
Three hundred and 6fty tons of lead
have been contracted for to be delivered at
the State Arsenal, and fifty tons Of it have
already arrived. {. -.ss.as1 ..oea
1t costs the State of Indiana about Sal :
600 to raise regiment. The aggregate of
all these Sums for all the regiments, will
no doubt be reimbursed to the State by the
General Government. s ~
A large amount of supplies, as oil cloth
blankets and the like, which the army reg
ulations politely refuse to furnish soldiers,
and which the States have in consequence
to furnish for themselves, were sent last
Monday from Indianapolis to our troops in
Eastern and Western Virginia.
The latest report from DR.. Kendrick, of
Indiana, army surgeon, lying sick at Wash
iBgton, give little hope of his ultimate re-
covery. His disease is typhoid fever If
he should die, the State will lose the servi-
ces of an upright conscientious and intel
ligent citizen.
We are informed that the Governor has
at last succeeded in getting an allowance
from the General Government of about
1000 first rate rifles and riled muskets.-
About $500 are on the way, and the rest
were to have been started Monday. The
purchase of $4,000 Enfelds is now begin
ming to be received, and in a little while
the State will have arms enough for all its
wants. ..'.........
The indianapolis Sentinel of Tuesday
says, that two hundred and ten Colts re-
volvers were Monday shipped from the ar
senal to Col. Baker, of the Indiana cavalry
now in Missouri. The gallant Colonel
found, when he got to his destination, that
Major General John Charles Fremont could
not by any means do the beautiful by him

ernor Morton, and that gentleman, acting
with his usual promptitude, the result is a:

B Recruiting for the Legion goes on
rapidly. Five companies are now organ
lied, and three Others are nearly full We
urge upon every citizen the importance of
at once enrolling his name, It is idle to
talk of independent companies The ex-

cannot be raised, and every attempt to do

names, and the State will furnish yon with

The report was doubtless not without foun-
