You will see that have c9icuiste0
the cost Of one hundred full uniforms,
and made very libeval estlmate,so that
the Government has nothing to complain
of. The item given above WAS pre.eot-
ed to the Legislature At it, late session,
together With like expenditures for the
other companies; and therefore, there 10
no doubt but the State will have that
bill to foot. Will you please inform the
public where this money has gone! In
Whose pocket has it found resting
place. Since the State charges US four
teen hundred dollars for uniforms, and
- clearly appears from the record there
has not been to exceed $500 CT that ex-
pended for rs; are We not entitled to
tho additional six hundred dollars or
are We to lose that amount through the
negligence and incapacity Of State OFF,
Gals? This is no trifing matter to US
nor to the State. At one time we suf
fered from poor living, and the fact has
been ascertained that while the State
paid g. 10 per week for our board, tie
M n who boarded US only received $3.50.
We are now charged 81 400 for our
uniforms, when their actual cost was not
over half that amount"
Six hundred dollars is a pretty fat
haul to make ont of furnishing one CON-
PAW. At that rate the State will bleed
pretty severely, and the pockets Of the
Governors pets wax fat with the hard
earnings Of the people. Look out for

The Question of Recognition.

The New York Nelcs in discussing the ques-
ton of the recognition of the Southern COnfede-
racy by the European powers, presents the fol-
lowing facts in relation to the recognition of the
Thirteen States by both Great Britain and France,
which have an historical interest. if not practi-
cal bearing in determining the action of those
powers: ..-- *
There is an argument, however, which, likely
to be urged upon the English by Mr.. fancey and
his associate Commissioners, sent out by the
new Confederacy to Europe, which seems TO US
to possess considerable weight, and it is this:
The Crown of England, in the treaty of peace
made with her revolted American Colonies on
the Sd of September, 1888, and which terminated
our Revolutionary War, recognized the lndepend-
ence of New Hampshire, Massachusetts,, Con-
nectieut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia :
the old thirteen--not as a nation, Union, or
even a Confederacy. but as each distinct and
sovereign State. Such is the language OF
that document. The question may be asked
does the fact that these. with other States, who
have since combined under a federal head, pre-
clude Great Britain from again recognizing one
more of them individually, on receiving notice
of their having determined to secede or withdraw

UNIFORMS FOR SoLDIERs.-Since the introduc
ton of the Minnie and Enfield rifles and riAed
cannon, the subject of the color of the uniforms
of soldiers has received much attention in Eu-
rope. In these long range arms, il is important
to have something defined TO aim at. The MIME
rifle when in good order will carry ball 1900
yards with precision, and rifed cannon at one and
a half miles can be aimed at and will kill a man.
Under this state of things it is important that the
uniform should be of no dark or well defined
color, and that there should be no plates or gid
ing to shine about the person, especially the
center of the body, to attract the enemy's aim.
The best color for the dress is light blue or
gray, which at a distance, not be distinguish
ed from the horizon. In Europe, the dark dress
with red or gilded trimmings and ornaments, has
been discarded. and it is found that fewer men
have been killed in the recent European wars
when dressed in gray than in any other color.
Fighting is a new business with our people. and
they should neglect no useful hint which will be
of advantage to them.

Indignant.

A company of disbanded troops had an indig
nation demonstration at Edinburgh, johnson
county. on Tuesday night. Capt. KELLY. who
had raised the company, made speech denounc-
ing Governor MORTON severely for duplicity,
charging that he gave assurances until the last
hour that he would accept them. He stated that
he had voted for the Governor at the last cleo
ton, an act which he now regretted, and that
henceforth he should make every effort in his
power to defeat his further aspirations. The
meeting wound up by burning His Excellency in
efigy and other demonstrations of like charac-
ter. The captain and most of the company are
Republicans. We know nothing of the merits of
the controversy, but We are informed the indig-
nation against the Governor was intense. In an
issue like the present there should be potent con
siderations to justify such proceedings.

Ahalit,on af SLAVERY.

There can be but little doubt that the ultra
Republicans hope and wish that the war may not
end until the abolition of negro slavery in the
Southern States is accomplished. The New York
Tribune. the exponent of that school Of politi-
clans, publishes an account Of Denmark Vesey s
iisurrection in South Carolina nearly forty
years age, ndremarks thereupon:
The system of slavery--evcr accursed-has
not improved in these forty years. The hand of
the taskmaster has not grown lighter, nor are the
bonds worn with greater ease. The nature of the
slave changes not, nor does the instructive, God
implanted craving for freedom diminish in force
as the years of toll run on. The dark storm
cloud hangs to day over the South more awful in
its blackness than ever before, and the moment
of its terrible descent draws nearer with each de
yelopment in the rapid course of passing events.
The STAKEHOLDER, whether on the plantation or in
the populous city, knows this we'll, and writhes
beneath the knowledge with dreary anxiety
which no bravado can conceal. If the tempest
does not break in frightfu power, it will be only
because an arm mightier than the arm of man is
outstretched to restrain il.

We find the following in the waynesboro
Neps, of the 18th nst
Judge Starnes and Gov. johnson addressed
our citizens to-day, on the War. The substance
of the address was practical appeal to our CAPT
talists for their loyal aid in behalf of the Con
federacy The assembly was organized and a
committee Of three from each district appointed
to canvass the county and report the same"
This Is a move in the right direction. and by
the right men. Money not less than men will be
needed, and To a very liberal extent for this great
of Independence and national existence now
upon the Confederate States.
Indeed there is no want of men. The desire of
our brave people to meet the enemy is so great
that there will be drafting to stay at home rather
than to 90 to the wars. But the game of war is
an expensive one-even war of defense fought
upon our own soil, and patriotism can display
itself not less efficiently in efforts to furnish our
government with money, than in volunteering to
WELD sword and musket in the field of battle.
Every man does something in this way-the
most humble in means, and the most feeble in
words. to subscribe and to urge friends and neigh
bors to subscribe for the next loan. We are proud
to see the two distinguished citizens named urg-
ing this subject upon the people in public meet
ing. We are proud at the practical manner in
which the people of Burke go to work to carry
out the business. Burke, always liberal with her
money as she is brave in the field, will give new
proof of her patriotic spirit. She sets an example
worthy of all imitation. We suggest that other
counties get their committees ready, and see that
every citizen in every Militia District be person.

Kentucky.

The Louisville Journal of yesterday states that
" a secret organization exists pledged to plunge
our loyal State into civil war; against the will OF
the majority of the people, (of Kentucky openly
and solemnly expressed" And if the Union
men are not watchful of their rights, and pre-
pared TO support them, there may be the same at
tempt made to coerce them that was begun in
Missouri and, be assured, an exciting occasion
will not be wanting, when the secession organiza
ton is completed" From this and other ex-
presslons of similar character we are satisfied
that the Union men of Kentucky would welcome
the armed occupation of that State by the United
States troops, as has been done in Maryland and
Missouri. 1t is not unlikely that the Government
may conclude to take that step.

Rumored Secession Expectations i'm
nd fs.n


We publish this morning dispatch from Indi-
annapolis, which states that secessonist, named
Dromgoole, is at the head of 500 armed rascals
in Martin county, Indiana, and is prosecuting the
Union men.
man bearing the name of DrOmgoole was
roughly handled near Dover Hill, Martin county,
not long since, for expressing reasonable senti
ments, and, il we are not mistaken, for having
written letter to JEFF. Davis, offering him men
from that section. This letter found its way into
print, and aroused popular Indignation against its
author, who fed to the South. Dromgoole is ey
identity an unmitigated scoundrel, but the story
that the telegraph brings US is doubtless hoax,
or at least gross exaggeration. Martin county
is in the Southern part of the State, but in the
third tier of counties from the Ohio river-CIn.
Gazette, of yesterday.
The above is humbug, something worse,
There are not eight hundred secessionists in In
diam, but we have no doubt about there being
eight hundred rascals, who would take advantage
of any excitement to plumber peaceably disposed
citizens. Dromgoole returned to take away his
wife and family, and we are told has nothing TO
do with the trouble there. From fifty to one
hundred horse thieves have organized to prey
upon their neighbors in that region. COM
pany of one hundred men organized and started
in pursuit of the rascals, and will, without
doubt. bring many of them to justice. Some
teegraphic dispatches passed Yesterday between
the Sheriff Of Martin county and the Governor,
and detachment from here may be sent to as
sist the local authorities, but secession or SYM
patty with cottondom has no more to do with
the trouble in Martin county, Indiana, than il
has with the plundering of the rowing bands OF
guerllas in Mexico. The dispatches at midnight
last night represent all as being quiet in Martin
county.
