within eight miles of Alexandra. Our army,
according 10 custom, will doubtless fall back as
that of the rebels approaches.
The Norfolk Day Book has paragraph which
indicates that the C0nfederafes are putting the
remains Of their dead enemies to an economical
use-subiecting them TO the analytical processes
Of "rendering establishment" How far this is
justifabe by the rules of warfare among civil
lied nations is not laid down, &C far as we are
aware. by any of the standard writer's upon the
subject.
There are about FIVE hundred Chaplains in
the army, at a cost of nine hundred thousand
dollars per annum.
A correspondent. writing from Nolin, Ky.
under date of Nov. 3, says:
The sick in the Indiana brigade now number
abopt six per cent of the whole force. (sixty to
the regiment,) and among the other troops the
proportion is at least equally great Little of the
sickness, however. is of serious character, and
much of it can be traced to the carelessness of
the men, or to the neglect of duty, by the Off
GERS.
We wish to know some more particulars
about the $50 deserteTs, Fremont's body guard
If il is telegraphc lie, it should at be cor

Louisville Democrat
General Hunter, the reported successor of
General Fremont, is about sixty years of age
He graduated at West Point in 1922, the twenty
fifth in class of forty, and was appointed second
lieutenant of infantry. Having risen to a first
lieutcnancy, he was, in 1896, made a captain of
cavalry, but shortly after resigned. In lS42, he
reioined the army as paymaster, IN which posi-
ton, with the rank of Major, the present Admin
istration found him. He accompanied Mr. Lin
coin from Springfield, on his way to Washington,
as far as Buffalo. where, owing to the pressure of
the crowd, he suffered dislocation of the collar
bone. Shortly after he was made Colonel of the
Third Cavalry, and then Brigader General. He
commanded leading division at the battle of
Bull Run, but was wounded so early in the day
that he reached Washington, travelling in an am
bulance, almost soon Mr.. Russell. He saw
no service in the Mexican war, nor in any of our
Indian wars.
= Army chaplains will be glad to know, that
by the terms of an order from the Adjutant Gen
erals Office in Washington, all the black sheep
The order reads as follows: "Any person who
has been mustered into the service as chaplain,
who is not regularly ordained clergyman, of a
Christian denomination, will be at once discharg
ed, without pay or allowance. Every one now
mustered in must be certified to as being a reg
ularly ordained clergyman, above stated.
= The Fort Wayne Sentinel says:
From 900 to 500 mea have been recruited
bora y0lu md
those who have joined the German regiment, the
artillery, and the United States service. The
city has expended Sc 900 in this matter, besides
the liberal contributions made by our citzens and
the only reason why recruiting is not more brisk
here is that it is "played out'-nearly all the
men we can possibly spare being in the service of
the country.
NOBLE ExAMPLE.-The Mt. Sterling (Ky.)
Wing SAYS:
The Rev. James p Hendricks, the Presbyte-
rian preacher of Flemingsburg. volunteered last
week in one of the Fleming companies. He has
an income of $4,000, and leaves dear wife and
five small children. The boys wanted to make
him Captain, but he declined, and said he wanted
to be private. stand guard with them, and pray
with and for them. Mr. H. isa pious Christian,
talented preacher, and a pure patriot. As a
Kentuckian, he felt the singing shame of voting
large Union majorities, but tuning out, compar
lively, few Union soldiers.
Capt. H. NJ. Conklin's company belonging
to the 35th Indiana (the first Irish regiment) is
now full. They are a splendid body of men, all
young, large and active In fct after witnessing
their drill we hesitate not to say that Capt Conk
lin has the crack corps of the regiment. Capt.
Conklin is an accomplished commander, as brave
he is patriotic, and will lead those who follow
him to glory or the grave
= The Rockport Democrat speaking of the
6lst regiment, rendezvousing at that place, says
that Spencer county has furnished fifteen COM
panies for the war. The Democrat continues:
Wake up, gallant sons of Ferry, Warrick, Du-
bois and Orangel Emulate the patriotism of old
Spencer. Fill up your companies, and send them
into camp at this place. TheJ'll find everything
for their reception here o. X Let the 6lst be
filled at once. The country needs the strong
arms and brave hearts of all her loyal sons.
MAJOR GENERAL LovE-1he Rockport Den
ocrat says:
Gen. Love deserves great credit for the energy
he has used in the organization of the Legion.
Through his exertions, the drill Of the Home
Guards-composing the Legion-has become
very perfect-equal, indeed, to most of the vol
unteer regiments now in the service. He has
had them all armed and properly equipped
bringing them, in point of preparation, upon
war footing.
In the selection of Gen. Love for this impor-
tant service, Gov. Morton has been most fortu-
nate. Wherever Gen. L. goes, he inspires inter-
est and infuses enthusiasm in the work of drill
ing and military preparation. Added to fine mil
tary qualifications, he is a gentleman of the
most frank and urbane manner, and here in
Southern Indiana has won hosts OF friends.
His visits to our town will always be greeted with
the warnest welcome.
In three weeks there will be half million
of mon in the field.
The REMOVAL OF GENERAL FREMoST.-The
Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald says:
There is no foundation for the rumor of the
suspension of the order removing Gen. Fremont.
Several members of his staff have arrived here.
They are attempting to play the BLUM game that
was commenced in Missouri when the question of
Fremont's removal was first agitated, but they
may find that the Government holds the biggest
hand. Their imprudent menaces of the conse-
quences of the removal of Fremont may induce
the offer to them of snug winter quarters.
Georgia has, in all, about forty regiments in
the Confederate Government service. Besides
these, three regiments now in the State service
are to be increased to six for the defense of the
sea coast.
The New Albany Ledger says that the
Indiana boys in Missouri recently captured
camp of rebel troops, nearly all of whom were
suffering with the ague. To use the language of
the directions on quack medicines, they were
"well shaken before TAKEN"
john NJ. Lord, Esq, of the indianapolis
Rolling Mill, has raised among the employees of
the establishment, $3.50 90, which has been ap
propriated towards the purchase of clothing for
