Indiana State sentinel., 1861-12-04

The sutlership of a regiment is regarded and
probably is very lucrative position. The APP
pointment of sutIer is properly within the province
of the Colonels Of regiments. Is it not little
singular that in great many cases the Cover
nor has reserved this appointment in offering
a regiment, or indicated the person to be selected
for that postionf In one case we understand
the sutler was the first appointment by the
Governor in the regiment, without even consult
ing the persons whom he expected to make its
field officers. We hear that in another instance,
an editor, fiavorite of His Excellency, received,
or was promised, $500, and another special friend
$3.50, for securing sutlership. Are such the
considerations which induces the Governor TO
make the appointment of suffers part of his
patronage? If not, why is it that the Governor
has insisted upon naming the suffers in so many
instsncess Why should he deprive the Colonels
of regiments the patronage properly belonging
to them9

"The Governor and the Major Gem
PralShiu.ss

The Journal says that the allegation that the
Governor has been offered the appointment of
Major General and that he was holding it under
advisement for several selfish considerations is a
sheer fabrication. And the Governors organ
further states that His Excellency has not cat any
time desired it, or in any way sought for it." We
guess the ogan does not speak by authority this
time. Will the Governor explain what consider
tiOns induced the President to withdraw the ap-
pointnent OF General MoRRIs to the position of
Major General after he had announced that be

of that appointment other than the Governor 5
aspirations? The charge that His Exceency
never sought or desired the Major Generalship, is
'sheer fabrication" 1t is well known that three
months ago the Governor desired that position.
Then he had project of organizing legion, as
he termed it, of some IL. 900 or 700 troops well
equipped in every respect, placing himself at the
head as Major General, with able regular officers
under him. The Governor is exceedingly anx-
ious for military distinction, as his friends can
testify. He would not hesitate for a moment to
don the Major Generals uniform if he was not
afraid of the fire which would follow in his
HIS Excelency does not want an exposure of
his administration at present, and therefor his
fears in regard to the latter may overcome his
ambition to display his handsome person (of
which he is very vain) in regimentals. The
Journal charges that "cabal" has been formed
to abuse the Governor. We pity him. Weknow

composed of "the beauty" and "the beast''-the

cripple his administration and dishonor the State

illustrate in his case, and the many queer schemes

WEEKLY SENTINEL.
Emancipation.

The Chicago Times says Abolitionism will
have it that Democrats and other conservative
people object to the emancipation Of the four
millions of negro slaves out Of consideration for
the rebel owners No Misrepresentation could be
more atrocious. Democrats object TO emancipa-
ton out of consideraton-frst, for the loyal
white people Of the whole country; and, second,
for the negro slaves themselves If nobody but
rebels were concerned, the AbolitiOnists might
emancipate the negroes and welcome, so far as
Democrats would care But the future of the
North as well as the South, and the future of the
white race on this continent. are concerned in
emancipation. The rebellion is only question
of to-day. 1t can be put down. Emancipation
is question for all time. The deed once done,
it can not be undone. The South once converted
into a St. Domingo, it must remain so until a war
of races shall exterminate the blacks.
