ssThe Cost of the Wharf.-The Journal
fhe Jnn

A few days ago the indianapolis Journal, a
dsunion sheet, expressed itself i'm tones of very
virtuous indignation against estimating ''the cost
of the war" We make few extracts from the
article to show its drift:
There is many a man in the world who weighs
dollars against shame and suffering and If he is well
paid considers his life well spent. A roll OF bank
bills if it is big enough will satisfy the honor of
his seduced wife and make him friends with the
seducer pile of eagles, if it is high enough,
will reconcile him 10 the man who splits in his
face and kicks him into the gutter He will
chatter for damages" with one who has shamed
him for lie as if he were hggling over differ
ence in "a grocery bill, and when he has got his
bargain will receipt in full for the ignomy and
pocket it along with his check.
To these mean souls a dollar covers the glories
and traditions of our whole history, and If itcosts
FIVE cents on the hundred dollars more to keep in
mems minds that Washington was an American
and our government his work, than to let his name
perish forever, they would vote against the tax.
If il were proposed that all who should surrender
the right of suffrage should be exempt from fifty
dollars tax year, they would accept the exemp-
ton with delight. ata
Just as they balance personal honor against
compensation, they balance patriotism against tax
alton IL needs very little reflection 70 show q
sensible man that their economy is as false as its
spirit is mean. i sA
This is very patriotic, but 1t comes with re-
markable i'll grace from the central organ of the
Republican party. SO far as the Democratic
party is concerned we venture the assertion that

the patronage connected Herewith. But, unfortu-
nasely, there is many a slip between the cup and
the lip The Governor. for some reason, don't
like Messrs. CRAvESs and BINeHAN, and he de-
cided that as he had to assume the responsibility
of offering these regiments, that he would
follow his own inclinations in so doing. This
decision cut out the patriotic aspirations of Messrs
BINGHAM and CRAvESs. These gentlemen, in
their legislative capacity, had arrayed them
selves against Governor morton. and now
the Governor, knowing no party or political
preiudices in the war, thought he would
square off his debt with them. Col ALLEN was
rendered the command Of the regiment quar-
tered at Vincennes, but he promptly declined it,
Notwithstanding he desired to give his services to
the Government, for the reason that he could not
do so without breach of good faith which he
would not for moment entertain. We honor
Col. ALLEN for this evidence of fidelity to his
friends, rare quality in these degenerate times.
1t is dle to Messrs. CRAvENs and BINGHAM to
state that they urged Col. ALLEN to accept the
commission, honorably releasing him from all
personal obligations, but the Speaker, with true
gallantry, determined to stand or fall with his
friends. Whether it was proper for the Governor
to allow his personal animosites and prejudices to
control his public action at time when all Dri-
vate considerations and party antipathies should
be dropped in a common effort to save the Govern
ment when it is tottering to its foundation, we
will leave the public to judge.
This statement of facts demonstrates most
conclusively that Governor MoRroS, notwith-
standing his elevated pretensions of patriotism.
is man of flesh and blood, and of like passions
with the rest Of mankind.

We learn that Hon. G. NJ Allen posi-
lively and peremptorily declined a commission
rendered him by Governor Morton, as Colonel of
the regiment quartered at Vincennes. Mr. Allen
informed the Governor that he would stand or
fall by those, his friends, who aided him in get
ting the four regiments accepted by the President.
Madison Courier.
Upon that paragraph hangs a tale. which should
he unfolded. We understand that the Honorables
G. NJ. ALLEN, JOHN X. CRAvESs and LucIUs
BINGHAM united in enterprise to induce the
President to order the raising of four regiments
in the first three Congressional Districts of In
diana. Messrs. ALLEN and CRAvESs visited
Washington Immediately after the extra session
of the Legislature to prevail upon the President
to accede to their plan. The genius of Colonel
ALLEN accomplished the object. Whether it is
true. we will not aver upon own response
bility, but we are told that the gallant and
gacious Speaker of the House urged upon old
ABE" as a reason for his granting the request
made by him. that the Pockes of Indiana
was isolated from the balance of the State,
without the advantages of railroad ard
teIegraphic communications. Owing to this
lack frapid communication, the result was that
whenever an order sent to indianapolis for
additional troops the people in the center of the
State on the railroad and telegraph lines, got the
news in advance of the Pocket, and Immediately
rushed in their men to fill the acquisitions In this
way the Pocket had been cut out from furnishing
her patriotic sons for the war. The President,
with the sagacity that distinguishes him. fully ap-
preciated the point made by the gallant Colonel.
He said he had formerly lived in Southwestern
Indiana and felt lively regard for the people of
that section of the State, and promptly wrote an
order to tie Secretary of War, to authorize
the raising of four regiments. as requested. This
being done, the President inquired of
Colonel ALLEN if he knew whether
certain mulberry stump was still standing in Spen
Ger county, near the home of the "Rail Splitter
in his boyhood days. Ofcourse the Colonel was
equal TO the occasion and remembered the precise
location of the stump and that it "stl lived.
The President then told some loose joke connect
ed with the stump, after which the party Left
highly delighted with the diplomatic manner they
had accomplished their mission Messrs- ALLEN
and CRAvENs returned home, presuming that the
Governor would authorize them 10 raise the regi-
ments aforesaid, and with the full dispensation of

DEATH OF HoN. QUISroS LoMAx.-The Orange
County Eagle contains the following notice of the
death Of Senator LoMAx:
Died, at his residence, in this county, on the
9Th day of August, 1861, Hon. Quinton Lorlax,
of nervous debility. in the 55th year of his age.
He was born in the State of Tennessee, and emf
grated to Indiana in 1915. He filled many town
ship, county and military Offices, and acquitted
himself with credit. He was the Senator of the
counties of Crawford and Orange-served four
sessions faithfully, and the vacancy caused by his
death can not be easily supplied. He was strictly
an honest man. Z leaves family and large
circle of friends to mourn their loss.

With regard to the high aristrocratic spirit of
Virginia and the southern colonies, it has been
proposed, know, TO reduce it, by declaring a
general Acknowledgement of their slaves. This
project has had its advocates and panegyrists;
yet never could argue myself into any opinion
of it. Slaves are often much attached to their
masters. A general wild offer OF liberty, would
not always he accepted. History furnishes few
instances of it. 1t is sometimes as hard to pur-
suade slaves to be free, as it is to compel freemen
to be slaves; ard in this suspicious scheme. we
should have both these pleasing tasks on our
hands at once. But when we talk of e;,franchise-
ment, do we not perceive that the American mas
ter may enfranchse too; and arm servle hands in
defence of freedomf measure to which other
people have had recourse more than once, and
not without success, in desperate situation of
their affairs.
Slaves as these unfortunate black people are and
dull as all men are from slavery must they not lit
tie suspect the offer of freedom from that very
nation which has sold them to their present mas
tiers? From that nation, one Of whose causes Of
quarrel with those masters, is their refusal to deal
any more in that inhuman trafic7 An offer of

To restore order and repose to an empire so
great and so distracted as ours, is, merely in the
attempt, an undertaking that would ennoble the
flights of the highest genius, and obtain pardon

i am much against any further experiments,
which tend to put to the proof any more of these
allowed opinions, which contribute so much to
the public tranquility In effect we suffer as
much at home, by this loosening of all ties, and
this conclusion of all established opinions, as we
do abroad. For, in order to prove that the Amer
leans have no right to their liberties, every
day endeavorng to subvert the maxims which
preserve the whole spirit of our own. To prove
that the Americans ought not to be free, we are
obliged to depreciate the value of freedom ITSELF
and we never seem to gain paltry advantage
over them in debate, without attacking some of
those principles, deridng some of those feel
ings, for which our ancestors have shed their
blood.

All government, indeed every human benefit
and enjoyment, every virtue, and every prudent
act, is founded on compromise and barter. We
balance inconvenience; We give and take; We
remit some rights that may enjoy Others; and,
we choose rather to be happy citizens, than subtle
disputants. As we must give way 10 some natu-
raj liberty, to enjoy civil advantages; we must
sacrifice some civil liberties, for the advantages
to be derived from the communion and fellow
ship of great empire. But in all fair dealings
the thing bought must bear some proportion to
the price paid.

! mean to give peace Peace implies reconcil-
iation; and where there has been a material dis
pute. reconciliation does in manner always inn
ply concession on the one part or on the other.
In thisstate of things make no difficulty in af
frmng, that the proposal ought to originate from
US. Great and acknowledged force is not i'm
paired, either in effect or in opinion, by an UNI
willingness to exert itself. The superior power
may offer peace with honor and with safety. Such
an offer from such power will be attributed to
magnanimity. But the concessions of the weak
are the concessions of fear. When such one is
disarmed, he is wholly at the mercy of his super
Tor; and he loses for ever that time and those
chances which, as they happen to all men, are
the strength and resources of all inferior power.
The capital leading questions which you
must this day decide, are these two. First, wheth
err you ought to concedc; and secondly, what
your concession ought to be. i,

The proposition is peace. Not peace through
the medium of war; not peace to be hunted
through the labyrinth of intricate and endless
negotiations, not peace to arise out of universal
discord, fomented from principle. in all parts of
the empire; not peace to depend on the judicial
determination of perplexing questions; or the pre-
else marking the shadowy boundaries of com
pick government. 1t is simple peace; sought in
its natural course, and in its ordinary haunts.-
1t is peace sought in the spirit of peace and laid
in principles purely pacific. propose, by remov
ing the ground of the difference, and by restoring
the former unsuspecting confidence of the colonies
in the mother country, to give permanent satsfac

ruling by discord) to reconcile them to each other
in the same act. and by the bond of the very same
interest, which reconciles them to British govern
ment.

And well timed was this movement.
Already our lire upon the hill top was giving
way, but melted to fresh deeds OF heroism by the
appearance in their midst of our generals, appa-
rentlv bringing up reinforcements. they pitched
into the fray with redoubled ardor. and from that
time yielded not an inch of ground. Gen. Beau
regard riding to the left took charge of ope-
rations there, displaying his reckless bravery by
riding everywhere in the face of the enemy's fire
and having his horse killed beneath him, fortu-
nately escaping uninjurei himself The tide Of
battle thus checked, away went Gen. Johnston 3
staff to hurry up the reserves and assign them to
proper positions. The first were met two miles
back, covered with dust and coming at double
quick. On they went, plunging into the midst of
the fray, aud the sunshine of certainty did not
CLEAN from beneath the murky clouds until Gen.
Kirby Smith arrived with portion of his divis-
ion upon the ground. Coming from Winchester
he heard the roar of the battle, and without wait
ing for orders he at once disembarked his men,
Col. Eizeys Brigade, and marched hurriedy to
our assistance. Col. Kershaw's and Col. Cash s
regiments arrived upon the ground at the same
moment and with these four thousand men Gen.
Smith promptly took the extreme left and turned
the tide OF battle.
The enemy had so far turned our flank as to
have gotten entirely behind us, and nearly 1000
were marching up 10 attack us in the rear; seeing
this, Gen Smith determined 10 cut them off, and
would have done so but for his misfortune in be-
ing shot through the neck with grape shot Just
as Col. Kershaw within twenty yards of him
for the purpose of receiving orders. His plan of
cutting them off was. consequently, not carried
out, and they were enabled to join the main body,
holly pursued by our men. Gen. Jackson's bri-
gade had been lying for hours sustaining with un-
fnching courage most terrific fire. The Gen
