aud if Gen. Wood should, in the progress of

that, among other things, he called upon sod
Almighty to damn the rebels, and said he, bias
phemously, as we think, although we are but a
publican and sinner. elf He can not damn them
enough and quickly, let Him call upon me and
the regiment am about raising" That will do
for this pious priest
= Mr.. H. w. p. Garland, high private, adj
vertises for ninety-eght captains whom he and
two other privates propose to lead on the first ell
igible opportunity against the common enemy of

- The Cincinnati Commercial says: We are
not able to read the teegraphic dispatches so as
to make out much of victory for our troops
near Hatteras. In the first place, we lost yalu-
able boat with valuable cargo of clothing and
ammunition. In the second place, the Doth In
diana regiment was constrained to retreat from a
position that was held to be important, and suf-
fered considerable loss in doing so. In the
third place. the accounts of the destruction of
rebel steamers and the drowning of hundreds of
rebels are not remarkably clear and trustworthy.
1t seems that our boys need lesson on the Car
DINA coast in order to make them understand
that they actually engaged in war.

Adams Express yesterday. from the Arsenal in
this city, for Evansville and Louisville

= Rich Men AND THE SoNs OF Rich MEN IN
THE WAR.-The Fort Wayne Times has the fol-
lowing:
A letter from David B. Herman, formerly
Democratic Senator from Noble county, Ind :,
afterwards Indian Agent at Grow Wing Mime
sofa, but now a rich farmer and miller at Voga
City, Iowa, informs US that Mr.. II. has two sons
in the three years service of the United States
This we mention as an example which will con-
trast to its own credit with the practice of many
wealthy men who have much to protect, and who
though with many sons, have representative
in the grand army of the Union. Mr.. Herman
is yet Democrat, and he comes to the rescue as
patriot; and when the war shall be over. it will
afford that kind of patriots unbounded satisfac-
ton to remember and have it known that they
had a representative worthy the name of a de-
scendant of Revolutionary mothers and fathers
Such parents have all the attachments of nature
for their children = and their homes would
be blessed by their presence, and their hearts de-
spond with grief at the death of a son-but they
rise above these selfish thngs-and their sons
take their place in the ranks, side 10y side, of the
son of the honest yeoman, who at last is the only
sure reliance for safety in the hour of our coun-
try's peril.
These band box boys-who are too good to GO
to war-and the demagogues who cry at the cor
ners ego boys" will be the first to claim honor
and the emoluments of office when peace shall
again reign through all the land.
Precisely so. Mr.. David B. HERMAN and his
brave sons are honorable exceptions, but this wal

Germans" the "Hoosiers," the mechanics, >
the railroad men," the poor men. Willingly
will they spill their blood, actuated by noble
patriotism, for whose benefit ultimately? For
the benefit of those who provoked this war, who
shouldering no muskets, live at home at ease, AND
fatten upon the calamities which, through theil
instrumentality. have overtaken once happy
prosperous and united people. "Scribes, phari-
sees, hypocrites.''
