PAYMENT OF VOLUNTEERS AND THEIR
FAMTLTEs.-The telegraph announced
yesterday that the War Department
had issued an order to carry into effect
the law of Congress bv which soldiers
may assign portions of their pay for the
ttenetf OF their families. We cannot
but think that the War Department has
been slow in this matter. Nothing
could have a more beneficial effect in
encouraging enlistments than the assu-
rance on the part Of the volunteer that
he would be able to protect his families
from want by prompt pay from the Gov
ernment, and by the means of trans
mitting it to his family. One of the
first duties of the War Department
should have been to see that these were
provided. Talk as we may about
patriotism and love of country, a mans
first duty is to protect his family.
Good men will not volunteer and leave
their families subject to want, on the
prospect that in four or FIVE months
time they will receive their pay from
the Government, and then they may be
able to send them. relief.
The chance even of sending it, after
they have received it when they are in
the field, is doubtful one. Besides.
it is quite important to provide means
by which the reckless and vicious may,
in their better moments, secure portion
Of their pay to their families before they
have been subject to the temptation Of
having money in their possession in the
field, where it may be for time in
convenientor impossible to send it home,
and where, in the way of gaming and
other vices, there are abundant means
of getting rid Of it.
1t would seem by the public papers
that an abundance Of Paymasters have
been appointed. The treasury finance
is also claimed to be successful. There
is then no reason why the payment Of
the army has not been systemstized.
There was much suffering from the
delay in the payment of the first troops
that took the field. That was the prin-
cipal reason why they were disinclined
to re-enlist, and why they had dam
aging influence on the volunteering oI
others. We don't know whether the
Department has remedied this matter.
But it should have been provided be.
fore this time. so that the volunteers
could rely with certainty on their pay
at intervals not longer than three
months. and could assign a portion to
their families. That allotment Of itsell
would enable the families to keep want
from their doors during the intervals.
Let it be remembered that prompt pay
ment Of just dues, especially to soldiers,
is as requisite to the successful financial
policy Of the Government as a successful
negotiation with the banks for loan.-

The following is a dispatch received
by Gov. Morton from Gen. Anderson,
dated Louisville, Saturday afternoon:
"Information has just reached me
that Buckner is approaching with about
1000 men; 1900 cavalry, and s1
pieces of artillery.
The road has been repaired and they
are probably at Elizabethtown. The
men are said to be fine looking and
well armed.
NV informant says that there are no
troops at Memphis. Send me all assis-
tance you can"
Upon the receipt Of the above dis
patch, Gov. Morton dispatched the
Thirty-ninth Regiment, Col. Harris. to
Louisville, and the Thirty first. Col.
Scott, to Evansville. This was all that
the transportation facilities could afford
last night. The Tenth, Col. Manson,
was sent to Louisville this afternoon,
and another regiment follows to-
morrow. This affords another evidence
of Gov. Morton's promptness and de-
cision.
He has dispatched an agent to-day to
the border counties, with general orders
to the Indiana Legion, looking to
placing these companies on footing
available in any emergency.
The orders are to meet often and reg
ularly for drill; all members to provide
themselves with such private arms as
may be easily procured for the time
being. The uniform of the companies
is waived until the Government fur
nishes arms. The ranks are to be
filed up and the muster roll to be re-
turned to the Adjutant Generals Office
on the first of October. Gov. Morehead,
Barr and Durrett, reached here on
Saturday on a special train and were
sent through to Columbus.
Officers with writs Of habeas corpus
followed, but arrived here too late.
Governor Morton has just received
information from Evansville that mes
senger was arrested to-day up Green

Gen. Buckner toa prominent Secession
ist with plan to destroy the locks on
