The Abolition Pro9ramme.

The New York Independent is perhaps the best
exponent of the ultimate but undeclared purposes
Of the Administration IL either inspires the
shape the policy of the Administration, or it is
inspired by them. In either case, what it and its
recognized correspondents say of the intentions
and future policy of the Administration, may
justly be regarded rs semi-authOritative. Hence,
the following from the independents regulas
Washington correspondent becomes somewhat i'm
portant:
The legislation asked for by the President piH
be granted, and much morc. He ioH be author
lied to take such steps as he thinks proper to
crush out the rebellion. coniscaton law ,ciH
be passed, the rebel ports ,ciH he closed, and n
bill has been introduced by Mr. Trumbull TO
ernancipate the slaues in all the rebel Stafes This
is prophecy of the future. If, when the regular
session of Congress opens next December, the
rebels still maintain their positions Congress will
go earnestly at work to deuise scheme for The
complete ertirpation of Slavery, and some of the
ablest members of Congress are now studying
the subject Nth uieic to practical measures for
the entire Orerfhrop of human SLAVERY upon this
continent. We have seen only the beginning of
this war, and North and South are alike unauare
of the uast results which are to flow from it.
This is iceU. Let the war go Oh, and the people
ioiH be educated by il to accept its grand conse-
quences with heartfelt gladncss.
Is this the entertainment to which We were in
vitedf Are our Republican cotemporaries-are
our Republican members of Congress prepared
or this crusade. for its "vast results" and for
the ncalculable burdens and sacrifices which it
must necessarily impose? We are not.
Here it is declared that the real object of the
war henceforth is, "the entire overthrow of human
slavery on this continent" We are told that
1.-THE North and the South are alike unauGre"
of this scheme. We are further told that "this is
,relI': that is, it ais well' that the people are
unaware" of the grand and "vast results" which
the war is designed to accomplish. We are
further told that rs the war goes on, the people
"wil be educated by it," and come by degrees to
penetrate and approve the plans of the powers
thatbe. These are startling revelatisns-if revc-
lations they really are; and we fear they are
revelations. We have little heart to comment on
such cold blooded and demoniacal suggestions
and predictions at a moment when tens of thous-
ands of our brethren are in murderous conflict
with each other-a conflict, which, however JUST
fable OH our part, an exalted patriotism and
high order of craftsmanship might have averted.

age and bravery under the enemy's fire than they.

In the House of Representatives on Saturday
last, the Committee of Ways and Means, by
vote in the affirmative Of seventy eight against
thirty three, were instructed report forthwith
bill upon basis to raise twenty millions of dol
lars by direct taxation, and that such other sums
as may be necessary be raised on the personal
income or wealth Of the country. A measure Of
tbs kind will doubtless be passed as the only
means of preserving the credit ofthe Government.
lndiana's portion Of the twenty millions will be
about nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
besides whatever else may be necessary to be
rsised on personal incomes This is correct poll
c.. The Government should not borrow money
without ut least providing means to pay the inter-
ct upon the public indebtedness We say this
u90n the principle that those who dance should
psy for the music. 1t would also give additional
confidence in the bonds as a safe security, that
the question Of the increase Of the public debt
should be submitted to the people for their appro-
val. This could readily be done in sixty days,
and during that time the exigencies of the Gov
eminent could be met by temporary loans, as is
now being done.

The appointment of Hon. JOHN g. DAVIS to

OF public affairs, was largely attended. Mr..
DAVIS was listened to attentively throughout, and
his remarks, we are informed, were well received.

the secession organ here, the Journal, advising
the people of Putnam not to permit Mr. DAVIS
To speak, and thus to throttle "free Speech" that
there would have been disturbance and an at
tempt TO break up the meeting, but nothing of the
kind occurred, much to the disappointment OF
the disunionists who have for years been trying
20 abolitionize the Government. or if they could
r0t succeed in that, to dissolve the Uniou. We
do not know the characte of Mr.. DAVIS re
marks, but we are gratifed /, learn that he and
the people of Putnam county, on Saturday last,
indicated a principle-the right of the people to
peacefully meet, and, without mOlestltion, dis
euss all measures of public policy-deprived OF
which Republican institutions would become as
sounding brass and tinkling cymbal. We are
willing to defer to the judgment and sagacty OF
the "plain people" of the country at all times,
knowing that IL even they carried away for
the moment by public clamor and false policy,

The country, although the valleys are well
adapted for small grain and grapes, is sparsely
settled, because of the preponderance of noun
tain; and the few inhabitants who are here, show
decided secession proclivity, which renders
them dangerous as spies, &c. Yet not finding
them with arms in their hands, they are well
treated; and the orders of the Commanding Gen
eral scrupulously to respect private property, have
rarely if ever. been violated.

EDITOR SESTINEL:-The excursionistS reach
ed Chicago at seven o'clock, remained until this
morning at y o'clock, when they took the cars
for home. Nothing in the way of amusement
was undertaken on Friday evening.
Nothing occurred on the trip home except that
between LOganspOrt and Kokomo some friend
had fixed rail upon the track, which, had it not
been discovered in time, might have made
Bulls Run slaughter of US.
The excursion was pleasant one, and with
out accident. Indeed accidents in railroad tray
cling are becoming obsolete.
A word about the route to Chicago. That by
KokomO Is by far the quickest and best, and will
so continue till Lafayette runs diagonally from
that place direct to Chicago.
BY the KOkomo route you have but one change
of cars, distance of l62 miles, and about eight
hours travel.
By the Michigan City route you have $50 miles
of travel and ten to eleven hours time
By the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne crossing the
distance is just the same az by the Kokomo route,
but the connections not quite as good and con-
venien..
A word about the route between Cincinnati and
Chicago. By the route through Richmond and
Anderson, the distance is $50 miles. BY the route
through Lawrenceburg, indianapolis and Kokomo
it is but 292 miles, only twelve miles further than
by the former, while the time and price are just
the same, and the route vastly more inviting.

The correspondent of the New York World,
writing from the seat of war, has the following:
1.-The disastrous result of the action was per.
haps ineyitable-even though no panic at the
close-from the three causes against which the
noble soldiery can never successfully oppose
their daring. First, the enemy's forces had been
largely moderated, and nearly doubled our own
in number; second, the onus of the attack rested
entirely upon US; and the natural and scientific
defenses of the rebels, made their position almost
impregnable; third, that many of our leaders dis
played a lamentable want of military knowledge.
There was little real generalshp in the field.
There was no one mind, of the Napoleon order.
at once centralizing and comprehending the entire
movement of the day. There was no one TO or
ganize our regiments in strong, swift moving
columns, and hurl them powerfully against the
foe. Nor were the generals Of division more
competent to their work. They exhibited per-
sonal bravery, but advantages gained were not
secured; important points were abandoned as soon
as carried, and reckless, fatgung pursuit pre-
ferred until Beauregard and Davis, who COM
manded in person. led us on to positions thorough
ly available for the attack Of their final reinforce
ments.
As for US, no one had thought Of providing
that reserve absolutely necessary to the sealing
and completion Of battles successes. IL Is the
last conflict Of the day that decides the victory and
deftat. We had no cavalry TO rout our retreating
foe. Our artillery was not rendered efficient in
the afternoon. Gen. Tyler neglected to guard
his rear. and to check the pushing forward Of his
trains. As for the columns, many Of those who
were not wounded or killed in the engagement.
exhibited not merely inefficiency, but the pusilan-
unity which ] have before recorded. To con-
clude: before we can force our way through a
country as well adapted for stategic defence as
the Businesses Of the Piedmontese, the defIes
of Switzerland, or tie almost unconquerable
wilds in which Schmayl so long held the Russians
at bay-belore we can possess and advance be-
yond the scientific intrenchments with which tho
skill of disoyal officers has made thase Virginia
forces so fearfully and mysteriously beautiful to
our patriotic soldiery, must discover the exec
utve leader whose genius shall oppose new modes
of subduing novel and thus far successful meth.
cd Of warfare, and whose alert action shall carry
his devices into resistless effect"

: THE CAUSE or THE PANIC AT MASAssAs-The
Washington Star says that the panic was COM
menced in light battery commanded by fat
Lieutenant. He was proceeding under orders to
flank one of the enemy's batteries. when de
tachment of cavalry made dash at them. In
stead of Numbering and essaying to receive the
charge with grape or canister, he turned and in
stantly fled leaving two of his pieces the field.
The ID Connecticut and the Minnesota (Of Gen.
Schenck's Brigade, which were exposed TO the
fire of the battery which the fat Lieutenant had
started to fank) then broke and run into the
bushes. Instantaneously it seemed that the panic
was communicated in all directions.

I'm which Ciasss

RAYMOND, of the New York Times, says he can
find nothing in Washington but "compromiSers,
sneerers, infdels, Adventures, toadies, pimps,
gamblers, scrabs ~ and poor miserable rat scav-
enger or CARNATIONS, for which, in the capital of
the nation, there should be no hole found" In
which class does he place himself? Again he
SAYS, "there would be nothing lost if the State
Department we're locked up and the key thrownin-
TO the Potomac" This sounds odd in Repub
lican paper on the first and last Republican Ad
ministration the world ever saw or ever will see.
Is this treason to the Government, or only to the
partyI If the former, it is capital crime; if the
latter, it is a capital virtue.
