Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1861-09-18

- A telegraphic dispatch received in the
city last evening, states that llth Indiana, Col.
Lew. Wallace. are at Paducah, Kentucky. They
arrived from St. Louis. The st. Louis Democrat
speaking of the llth, says:
The accession Of the famous llth of Indiana,
is valuable boon to Missouri. They are no
strangers on sacred SOIL" Their manly valor
and daring deeds on that Of Virginia, made us
aware of the fact "Greasy mechanics, small
listed farmers, and mudsills" as they all are with
out exception, they met the cavaliers of the sunny
South, those boastful gentlemen who are the
"rightful rulers of the country" and laid them
low without the smallest amount of unnecessary
ceremony, and scattered them without the
slightest respect to person. These Indiana regi-
ments are afraid of one thing-that the rebels OF
the State will be overcome and scattered, and
thereby become invisible before they can get a
| chance at them. q.
Indiana has sent US large number of fighting
men, and we are told that there are yet six regi-
ments at Indianapolis, fully equipped, and only
awaiting transportation to quickly tread the soil
of Missouri. t
The following Indiana regiments are now in
| Missouri:
The 18th. Colonel Patterson; 22d, Colonel
Davis; 23d, Colonel Sanderson; oath, Colonel
\ Hovey; 25th, Colonel Veatch; llth Colonel Lew
Wallace 26th, Colonel Ross.
Intelligence has also been received that the
23d regiment, Colonel Sanderson. has arrived a,
i Paducah from St. Louis.

near they found the wife and little girl, three
years old, with their throats cut and both quite
dead. Two other children, the oldest twelve
years. both with their throats cut, we're discover

The Un,on I'm Minnesota.


The Uniol Convection of all parties in the
State of Minnesota, net at St. Paul on the 9th
instant Ii was larle and enthusiastic affair.
The following ticket vas unanimously nomina-
ted:
For Governor-Major W H. Dixie, Rep, now
serving in the army in the first regiment of Min
nesota volunteers.
For Lieutenant Goyernor-C. G. Andrews,
Dem.
For Attorney Generals p Jones, Rep
For Secretary of State-E B. Ames, Dem.
For State Treasurer-F. Williams, Rep.
Major Dixie, though heretofore a Republican,
is considered good enough Democrat for the
party. He is a soldier, and one who has declared
that he viii fight any foe, no matter in what sec
ton, who will rebel against and resist the laws
and Constitution of the United States. The 9TH
er Offices we're divided between candidates be-
longing to the two parties. The ticket will OF
course be Chicago Post.
Fifty-six delegates, representing ffteen coun-
ties, were present A permanent organization
was effected by the selection of Hon. Henry Ack-
er, of Ramsey county, as Chairman, and of four
Vice Presidents. Resolutions we're adopted unan-
imously Gin favor of maintaining the Government
so long as there is a loyal man North or South
to battle with rebellion or dollar to furnish the
sinews of war;" in favor of peace when it has
been honorably conquered; opposing taxation,
and, on the ground of economy, urging vigo-
rous prosecution Of the war; denouncing compro-
mise while the war lasts, and in favor of all prop
er guarantees when it is ended; and inviting men
of all parties to unite, regardless of past and or
binary political differences, upon this platform
and in support of the candidates nominated b,
the conv ention.

B5rA Coon JOKE-EveF since the e.-
tablishment of Camp Carlile and since the
first seeessionist was elected from the
grounds, 1t has been regarded as capital
joke among Union meu 10 have their friends
put out by squad OF soldiers. The SOL
diers are not expected TO know everybody
and whenever a commissioned officer i.
advised that there is seeessiouist ON the
grounds he forthwith issues an order to
have him elected. The person so elected
may be Union man or nOt-the soldiers
do not know; and frequently waggish fell
lows have their friends elected just for the
fun of the thing. 1t is by no means an
uncommon thing to see an ultra Union
man going out of the camp at the point of
the bayonet, looking very silly, while his
friends are bursting their sides with laugh
ter. A case of this kind occurred yester-
day to the Infinite amusement of every.
body who witnessed it.

R9-CoMPASY E, of the First Virginia
Regiment, Capt. Geo. c. Trimble, came
over from Camp Carlile on Monday even
ing and marched down to Centre Wheel
ing, where they exhibited their proficiency
il the drill to large number of citizens.
The proficiency which this company has
acquired in the drill, under the close in
structiou of Capt. Trimble is the subject
of general remark among the officers aud
men of the regiment. On all sides it is
acknowledged to be the best drilled com
pauy in Western Virginia. While many
of the members of the company have be-
lOnged to volunteer companies in the city
for several years, great many nevsr
shouldered musket until they enlisted
three months ago. The perfection which
the company has acquired is mainly due
to the industry aud experience of the Cap
tain, though the intelligence aud close aP-
PlicatiOu of the members has had not d
li:tle to do withit.

Ey-FnON CuMBERLAxD.-The excite
ment in Cumberland has somewhat subsi-
ded. On Monday night the Union men
having made threats against the prominent
sccessiOnists, which they seemed determine
ed to carry ont, the military arrested

ofternoon there was a terrible excitement
in the city. Tho piekets who hid been
thrown out by the soldiers in anticipation
of IN attack, came riding furiously into
the city, crying "sesesh seseshi the Sc
sesh are comingi" In less than a half an
hour thousand citizens were in arms and
marching towards the place where the "se-
eesh" were said to have been discovered.
But it appeared that some dozen or more
Catholic Priests were playing football on a
hill adjoining the town, and the pickets OBJ
serving them, supposed they were seces-
siOnists drilling. When the truth was dis
covered the excitement subsidized, and There
has since been no violence worthy of men

William and his HRYelock.
"The members of the MaGkerel Brigade,
now stationed on Arlington Heights, to
watch the movements of the Potomac,
which Is expected to rise shortly, desire me
to thank the ladies of America for supplies
of havelocks and other delicacies OF the
season just received. Tie havelocks, my
boy, are rather roomy, and we took them
for shirts at first; and the shirts are so
narrow-minded that We took them for
havelocks 1.-THE women of America could
manage to getn little less linen into the
collars of the latter, and little more into
the other department OF the graceful gar
mint there would be fewer colds in this
division of the Grand Army. The have
locks, US have said before, are roomy-
very roomy, my boy. William Brown, Of
Company g, put one on last night, when
he went on seutry duty, and looked like ii
broomstick in a pillow-case, for all the
world. When the officer of the night came
round and caught sight of William in his
havelock, he was struck dnmb with admi-
radiation for a moment. Then he ejacu-
lated

'the sentry is William Brown, in his have

The officer was so justly exaspcrdted at
his mistake that he went TO his headquar-
tiers and took the oath three times running,
with little sugar
The oath is very popular, my boy, and
comes in bottles. take it incidentally

The shirts made by the ladies of Ameri-
ca are noble articles as far down as the
collar, but would not do 10 use as an only
garment. Capt. Mortimer de Montague, of
the skirmish squad, put one on when he
went to the Presidential reception, and the
collar stood up SO high that he couldn't
put his cap on, while the other department
did not reach to his waist. His appear
ance Mt the White House was picturesque
and interesting. and as he entered the
drawing room, Gen. Scott remarked very

"Ahi here comes one of the wounded

an officer standing by.
"Thcn why is his head bandaged uPso2"
asked the venerable veteran.
"Ohi' says The officer, CHATS only one

In about FIVE minutes after this CONVEX
sntiOn 1 saw the venerable veteran and the
wounded hero at the office taking the oath
together.
