The Rev. Mr.. Conoy. Chaplain of the Irish
regiment, held divine service at Camp Morton
yesterday. 1t was gratifying exceedingly to no
tice the devout demeanor of the men generally,
who appeared conscientiousIy to have entered
into this war for freedom and to have a due APP
probation of their accountabilities with reference
to a hereafter. .
-BARBEcuE AND SPEAKISG-There was an
old-fashioned barbecue and public speaking on
DR.. j. a. Lanes premises, West Baden Springs,
Oranre county, on Wednesday last, at which
some twelve hundred persons were present. Able
speeches were made by Hon. James a. Crayens
and Col. @. l.. Durham, both taking strong
ground in favor of the prosecution OF the war,
and the suppression of the rebellion. At the
close of the speaking, 6fty-six young men enroll
led themselves as soldiers for the war. Glorious
old Orangel-N. A. Ledger.
= Firm, united, let us be,
Rallying round our Liberty;
As a band of brothers joined.
Peace and safety we shall End.
The Richmond Broad Are says:
There are several Wayne county companies in
camp that are not quite full, but should be filled
Immediately. There are many young men in
this county who can and ought 20 90. Many of
them are doing nothing, and others are helping
them. The Government offers very liberal IN
ducements-the troops will be paid every sixty
DAYS. and in coin. The work of manufacturing
clothing and arms is going on rapidly, so that no
fears need be entertained in that behalf. The
boys who have gone into camp concur in their
testimony as to the abundance and good quality
of the rations. The 57th regiment will be filed,
and filled speedily. but Wayne county should be
well represented.
Col. Streight's regiment has gone into camp in
the north eastern part of the city north of the
Bellefontaine car shop
The Cincinnati Gazette says:
Our dispatches from Washington announce
that Lieutenant General Scott will retire from
active service within ten DAYS on account of in
firm health.
We are also informed that the order suppressed
ing General Fremoat has been sent W lest by Gen.
Curtis, To- be delivered, unless Fremont shall be
in the presence OF the enemy. Gen. Hunter is to
take the command. SO much has been said upon
this point, of late, that it would not be safe to
venture an opinion as to the accuracy OF this new
announcement. When Mr.. Cameron visited the
West. be carried in his pocket a similar order;
but he did not, it seems. deliver it. That with
which Gen. Curtis is entrusted nav also be order
ed back to Washington. The Administration is
doing itself much discredit in this Fremont bust
ness-by triaing with a commander who is in the
Geld at the head of a great army.
We are informed by Adjutant Cunningham,
of the 35th Indiana Irish regiment) that the ac-
complished Miss Lizzie ST. Clair Dill has been
commissioned by Col. Walker as one of his Aids
de Camp.
The Louisville journal saws: If, when
Buckner set out for Louisville several weeks ago,
he had succeeded in marching upon the city, as
many believed he would succeed, his reception in
several respects, and especially IN one, would
have resembled that gwen to Sextus as he rode
back TO Rome by the side of foreign leaders to
restore the dark dominion of the Tarquin:
By the right wheel rode Mamilius,
Prince of the Latin name;
And by the left false Sextus,
That wrought the deed of shame.
But when the face OF Sextus
Was seen among the foes,
A veil that rent the ornament
From all the town arose.
On the house tops was no woman
But spat towards him and Kissed;
No child but screamed out curses,
And shook its little fist.
Governor Dawson, in a letter to the Fort
Wayne Times, thus refers to the devastation OF
war, by describing a scene he witnessed from Fort
Ellsworth, near Alexandria:
Mounting the breastwork of Fort Ellsworth
and looking Away to the north, northwest and
west as far as the eve could reach, were beheld
fields with armed warriors whose hundred snowy
encampments, in field and on plain, on hill and in
valley, on lawns and in orchards, where poverty
endured life, and luxury and distinction dweIt
and enjoyed fame and riches, told of the pomp
and circumstance and devastation of an inferno
cine war which Is likely TO make rivers Of frater
nal blood and pyramids of human kindred skulls
which even a Tamarlane did not equal. From
this staid- point we turned up the Leesburg Pike.
and forward through a rich and highly cultivated
region, where the lace of the country is a blight.
Elegant mansions are bristling with bayonets;
fences are cut away and burned; and the beauti-
full groves and orchards on every hand are laid
low by the AK of Federal soldiers
He. also, thus notices the Secretaries of War
and the Navy:
Secretary Cameron, Of the War Department,
has just returned, and | am sorry to say he does
not bear defending, while the Secretary of the
Navy, Mr.. Welles, does not bear compliment for
the first qualification as a Cabinet officer. Things
are not as they should be.
The following is his notice of the Commander
in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United
States:
A visit 20 the President to-day was distinguish
ed for nothing save bis jolity and facetiousness
He is a plain man, and will do well ana right, if
left TO his own inclinations.
