EDITOR JOURNAL Our village was in
quite a stir on Sabbath last. The Posey-
willie Brass Band started for indianapolis OF
one o'clock to 60 into the 18th Regiment as
a Regimental Band, where many of the
citizens assembled to bid the boys"
parting farewell.
Rev John Shrader preached a special
sermon, giving the members OF the Band
much good advice.
Many were the regrets at their departure,
but they were willing to leave friends at
home, and undergo the hardships Of camp
life for their country's good.
When the Band, with a large escort of
citizens from Poseyville, arrived near Gym
thiana, they were met by Captain Whiting s
company of light infantry and large
number of citizens, who escorted them to
town. After playing several national airs
DR.. Knickerbocker, in behalf of the Band
made few patriotic and eloquent remarks,
thanking Captain Writings company and
the citizens (the ladies in particularly for the
honorable reception given them.
Truly, W.

The o:tefsi5ie purpose of the Southern .
coHspirators against the Federal Union is,
the better protection Of slave property, al .
though TO It lectino mind can, for moment,
believe tpat this Is the real object. How
completely such purposes, however, would
be defeated, IL case of the actual and per-
manent separation of the North and South,
may be deduced from the following circum-
stance, which occurred in this vicinity
within the last fortnight:
In one Of the townships of Montgomery
county, within ten miles of Philadelphia,
resides prominent and influential citizen OF
uIinPeachable probiEy and high intelligence.
For more than thirty years he has taken an
active part in the politics of Pennsylvania,
and has been elected 70 important civil
trusts, municipal and legislative. During
this time, too, he has been a consistent
Democrat, and an untgavering friend Of the
South, battling manfully for all her vested
constitutional rights.
| On a recent Sabbath afternoon, this we'll
tried and devoted friend of the South met
| in the immediate vicinity of bis residence, a
! colored man and his wife, both young and
athletic, clad in coarse homespuu, and wea-
| ~ with dust and travel. He Intercepted
| them as to whence they had come, when
| they frankly admitted that they were tugi-
| the slaUes, from the county of Prince
Georges, in Maryland, and that the intense
| war excitement had afforded them an OPP
portunity to escape, which they had gladly
| embraced.
" Was not yourssmaster Kind to you," ask
Ell the Montgomery county Democrat.
90, yes" responded one of the sable
! strangers with tear of giadness starting
to his eye, " but we thought we had work
ed for nothing long enough, and as freedom
is sweet, we took the first chance to get
ours, and, God in Heaven be praised, we
haze til But for the toar, We would still be
slaves. Bless God for the war
Six months ago, the upright and consci
entious Montgomery farmer, as he himself
religously affirms, would have lost not &
moments time in imparting to the United
States Marshal, intelligence of these fugi
tives from labor, and had them returned tt
their master. But notC, since the South il
r engaged in an unholy crusade agains
the Union and the Government, he could no
find it in his heart to do nything of the sort
$ On the contrary, he ''tOok them in, ca
red for them hospitality, and sent them re
joicing on their way to a farmer close by
where they would be sure of receiving boil
: work and tOages, and the "Prince Georges
Secessionist may now whistle for his "prop
erty." His two valuable slaves have afford
ed him practical exhibition of the RICH
T of d" secession which he, most likely, WI
not soon forget.
: And this is the way, forsooth, in whicl
Southern demagogues, at the point of th
? bayonet are protecting their slave property

zionist in the country is JEFFERSON DA

Camp CONTEMPORARIES.

CAMP WALLACE, June 4.
Truly we know not what a day may
bring forth" Yesterday we were down
cast, disheartened, feeling that ours, the
best Regiment in Indiana, was bound to
j." waste its fragrance on the desert air"
while others, not our equal, were on the
road that leads to glory and to fame. This
feeling was occasioned by the fact that we
learned we were to remain here on the Ohio,
distributed in squads at Evansville, New
burgh, Mt. Vernon and other places, to
catch gtermers and fat-boats, which, al
though a loyal, honorable and laudable
business, was not exactly suited to our
style"
Could any one have visited our camp this
morning at o'clock, he would have seen
the genuine Zouave manouvering, in all its
glory.
The dispatch ordering US to march for
MARYLAND Immediately, was received with
intense relief by our officers, and with in
expressible delight by the boys. If there
are one thousand conceivable positions for
the human body to be in, our boys took
nine hundred and ninety-nine in their eX-
citement and enthusiasm on receipt of the
intelligence The gallant Eleventh, while
we were unable to fathom the mos ements of
leading men, it seems was not forgotten by
them and we now shall have d glorious
opportunity to show our proves and go
shoulder 70 shoulder into battle with the
notorious New York and Massachusetts reg
| iments. Indiana will never have occasion
to be ashamed of her regiments, place them
side by side with whom she will.
We are ordered to Cumberland, Nd =
beautiful city of four or FIVE thousand in
habitants, and we are now awaiting the
cars to take US thther.
As the Office of Major was vacant Col.
Wallace, on receipt of marching orders, i'm
mediately called an election to fill the va
cancy. Capt. Robinson, of Company II,
was elected on the third ballot. Lieut..
! Fred. Kneffier was elected Captain in place
of Capt. Robinson, and Thos. Frye, o. s,
was elected to fill the office of lst Lieut.,
made vacant by the elevation of Lieut.. Kuef-
fer to the Captaincy.
! Several of the sick were discharged to-
| day, and their places filed with raw re-
cruits.
The officers and men of the 18th leave
! Evansville with many regrets, as we have
| been treated 30 kindly by IFS citizens, and
as we have made many (uot soon to be for
gotten) friends during our stay here. Still,
as we. enlisted for fighting, and as there is
not much of show for brush" here, We
are glad we are summoned where we Car
get our FILL

n@e The Confaderate troops az CuIpennsr

Rsgr The Confederate troops at Culpepper
are entrenched upon the plantation of Mr..
Wallach, the editor and proprietor of the
Washington Evening Star. Mr. Wallach
has from the start stood firmly by the Unit
ed States Government, aud of late entirely
at the risk of his Culpepper estate He,
Of course, he's not put himself within the
power of the rebels OF Virginia, but bis
wife has carried on the business of the
plantation alone. When our troops get as
far down rs this place Mr. Wallach can get
q peep at his plantation-and not well be-
fore. In case any attempt be made to con-
fscate his property because he remains true
to his Government, it is proposed by Penn
syI7ania men to give him enough of Sena-
tor Masons Philadelphia estate to strike
an even balance.

The suppression of the Louisville Journal
in Memphis and Nashville has justly arous-
ed the indignation of its prOprietors, who
are filling the public ear with their COM
plants. The editors regard the Suppression
of their paper as the highest compliment
that could possibly be paid them, because it |
indicates that enemies of the country are |
afraid of their arguments and tremble be- |
fore their appeals" If the suppression of
the Journal is considered in the light of
compliment, our paper-humble though it
be-has been complimented in a similar
manner, months and months ago. Our vanity
is aroused to think our paper was suppress
ed because the enemies of the country were
afraid of its arguments and trembled
before its appeals" long before the Journal
was able to elicit a similar compliment.
We are indebted to the journal, however,
for the reason why our paper was
suppressed; for until we read its theory we
had concluded, with becoming humility, that
our paper had been stopped, not on account
of anything in particular that was in it
but out of pure cussedness''-a spirit of
intolerance and domination-mobsm and
lawlessness.
We are glad the Journal is aroused in
this matter In seeking for Justice itself,
some of the smaller fry" may also
come in for a share in the benefits. If the
Tennesseeans have no right to suppress
the Louisville Journal, they have no right
to stop any other paper, because the
same censorship that decides in one case,
does so in the other. If an illiterate Post
master decides the Evansville Journal in
cendiary, and the Louisville Journal tacitly
acknowledges that his decision is right and
binding, as it has done for years, now the
same tribunal prOnounces that paper also
incendiary, we do not see the propriety of
its making such "hullabaloo. 1t is the
other animal that is gored-that is all.
We have felt confident that the censor
ship of the Press, which has been tolerated
by the Government for a long series of
years, in direct violation of the Constitu-
ton of the United States, would work its
own cure. We think it may be safely con-
cluded that, hereafter, the intolerance of
many of the Southern States, in suppress
ing every paper they disliked, will not be
permitted to go to that length it has
done heretofore. The people of the North
ern States intend that more than one pro-
vision of the Constitution shall be enforced,
which has for years been systematically vio-
lated, but which violation has been winked
at in order to preserve peace. When the
present controversy is decided, we expect
that Northern Journals will be permitted to
circulate wherever the government sends a
mail. This business of combining the papers
of one section to that section, while those of
another are permitted to circulate free as
the air, will not be tolerated. Had the gov
eminent prevented any interference with
newspapers years ago, the present Difficult
tiee would not be upon US. The press may
be prostituted to base purposes, but if left
free it invariably works its own cure-the
antidote always accompanies the poison.

Atout the year 1888, while residing in the city

the disease grew worse, and 1 became seriously
alarmed at its progress. I now had recourse to
medical advice, but without any marked effect. /
rapidly lost flesh, and became emaciated to UGH
degree to attract the attention Of all with whom
I came in contact. l cannot attempt to describe
the feeling of utter heIplessuess that almost par.
ayzed my efforts for fifteen years At length, tired
of lie, but still willing, for the sake of my family
to make another effort, yielded to the advice Of
my friends, and, experiment, bought bottle
of your Bittefs. To my delighted surprise, felt
change for the better, before had taken half the
DO tile. I continued its use, and purchased a Sec
ond bottle, which effected a PERFECT CURE
Five years have passed away, and have experience
