18TH RECT, o. V. U. S. A.,
CAMP NEAR BATTLE CREEK, Tenn,
July 7th, 1862.

July Ith, 1867
Mr.. Edior:-I will give you, for the
| benefit Of our friends at home, a short
history Of our travels since we have
been in Kentucky. We were brigaded
lin December last. Our Brigade CON
sisted Of the 10Th and 24th Illinois vol
unteers, 18th Ohio aud 37th Indiana,
commanded by Col. Turchin, of the
10Th Illinois. We left Bacon Creek,
KY, Feb. 10th, 1862; went to Green
River same day; had the advance of the
Sd Division; left Green River on the
18th; entered Bowling Green on the
morning Of the 18th, the stronghold Of
the rebel army in Kentucky, in triumph,
and planted the old time honored FLAG
ON the Court house; captured provision
enough to feed ten thousand men two
months, besides large amount of other
property. Left Bowling Green on the
22d for Nashville, Tennessee; marched
four days, nothing of importance tran
spring; entered Nashville Feb. 9th;
passed through the place; camped 81
miles from town. We left there March
18th; took possession of the towns of
Murfresboro, Shelbyville and Fayette-
vile; entered Huntsville April 11th;
took that place, about 800 prisoners, II
locomotives, so passenger cars. In
that move we got about three million
dollars worth Of property. We have
been constantly on the march ever since,
doing our duties as soldiers and men
We have been here two weeks, in sight
OF the enemey, so that our pickets talked
to one another. There is only til
Tennessee River between US. Day be-
fore yesterday there was curious cir
cumstance took place here. An order
came from Huntsville that the 18th
Ohio, 10Th and 9th Illinois volunteers,
were relieved from the 9th Brigade, and
sent back in the rear in disgrace. We
knew not what it was for Col. TLr-
chin was ordered back to his Regiment.
From the effect of that order, all the
officers in the 10Th and 9th resigned,
except six, four in one regiment and
two in the other. Col. Turchin would
not pocket the insult He sent in his
resignation. This morning there came
an order to keep US here, and, also, re-
instating Col. Turchin, requesting him
to take his command again, but he
would not accept it from the hands of
Gen. Buel, for he thought that he was
heaping insult to injury. We have
held the post of honor since we were in
a brigade, and the reason was because
We had the best brigade com mander in
the Division. The officers of the brig
ade have made up $500 to by sword
to present Col. Turchin, as memorial
that he will ever live in the memory of
his men. Yours,
Lieut.. CHAs. B. SAUNDERS.

DR.. c. w. RoBAcK-Dear Sir:-For the benefit of
suffering humanity, permit us to announce, through
the columns of your Circular, the surprising prop
critics of your Scandinavian blood Purifier and
Biood Pills, which is for Indigestion and
Liver Complaint. We have several persons in town
who have been suffering with Liver Complaint and
Indigestion, and notwithstanding that we have as
good physicians as,can be found in Northern Ohio
yetthe dis baied their sktil. Consequently We
were in state of despondency, until comm enced
using your Pills, through and by the advice of our
friend, Mr.. Brennan. We used the medicine ac-
cording to directions and are now full of life and
lilarty, and our gratitude is equal to our improve
ment in health and spirits. When take into CEN
sideratien what we have been, aud what we are at
present. we feel like charging ourselves OF the sin
of ingratude, if we did not try to to the
publ the great benefits of your Medicine. There
fore we recommend to the public ati large, the ex-
pedieney of having recourse to your Medicine, and
consequently, as in daty bound discharge what we
feel to be our duty in advising persons who suf
fering have suffered, to make use of the only
true and sure cure for the diseases already
toned. Mes Gxv,x

The only remedy for this deception
being practiced, is by merchants to re-
fuse selling ammunition to all persons,
except those they know to be strictly
loyal. [ hope, therefore, that mer-
chants will adhere strictly to this rule,
thereby, preventing further deception.
There is another class Of individuals
l wish to speak of, who are doing the
citizens of West Virginia great injury.
L mean that class Of persons living in
Ohio, who are in sympathy with this
rebellion, and of that class, you have
many living in Meigs County In lie
tart Township alone, there are, at least,
fifty men and women, who are sympa-
thisers with this hellish rebellion. In
deed, it has become very common say
ing with the people of Jackson County,
that there are as many secesh in Meigs
County as there are in jackson County.
And | fear it is but too true. It. would
do them but justice to have their names
published, so that the world may know
who the traitors are.
Every secesh in jackson County
knows he has friends who sympathise
with him, which knowledge keeps them
encouraged in their hell-born doctrine,
and has tendency to keep them arrayed
against the loyal citizens
In conclusion, 1 ask, how long, o.
how long, will these things be permitted?

The Spell Broken,

Thank God, the spell by which thu
border States slavehofding conservative
conditional Union men of the bordG
slave States have hitherto bound tht
action Of the President, is, we believe
at last broken.
On the adjournment Of Congress, tht
President called togetherall the Senator.
and Representatives from the Slave
States, and made to them an earnest
pathetic, beseeching appeal to come
forward, as they only could, and
save the country and end the war BY
appealing to their people in the spirit
of his own proposition and unselfsh
action. He told them frankly that he
had, to couciliate them, aliena ted, deeply
grieved, and offended the people of the
truly loyal States, without whose sup
port the country was lost without hope.
That the pressure of public sentiment
was SO great that he could no longer
sustain himself and the Government by
puls suing course of policy which drove
from him his friends, without at all
winning the favor of those whom he
addressed, and for the sake Of coneilia-
ting whom he had thus we'll nigh
lost the eeonfdenee of thecountry. Such,
in brief, was the spirit Of his address.
1t was the last appeal that even the
kind, unselfsh, patriotic and deeply,
burdened heart of the President could
be expected to make to these men. We
think he will make no more They
retired and held council to prepare a
reply. The majority, numbering twenty,
including Crittenden, Davis, Carlisle,
and all the peculiarly conservative
members, sent to the President long
reply, the conclusion of which is, that
they cannotrecommend the people epen to
consider the Presidents proclamation
Seven of them sent in minority report,
cordially indorsing the President and
his proposed policy. Maynard, Of Ten
nessee, sent letter for himself, not
quite agreeing with the minority, but
promising to sustain the President.
Frank Blair, of Missouri, does not appear
in the list of names, but he is known to
be with the President.
We believe this action of the majority
of the border State men will fully satisfy
the President that it is not worth while
longer to stem and thwart the patriotic
impulses of nineteen States, and sacri-
fee their sons by the bundled thousand,
and their means by hundreds Of millions
to win the favor of twenty shareholders,
who, it is now demonstrated,. can only
De won by making them the practical
lictators of the destinies Of the eoantry
All the indications for the last few days
seem to show that the spell is broken,
md that henceforth the polnyfis to be
car IN earnest.

by the recent rebel raids, will be famed
into an unextinguishable fame by the
conviction that henceforth the ir-

which sbetrays like treason ITSELF, has
been shaken off, andsthat the war will be

Indiana Invaded.

A squad of about 10 rebels from
Kentucky, crossed over, to Newborn
Indiana, the other day, and captured
two hundred and fifty stand of arms, al
the hospital stores, and took 250 sol
diers prisoners, and paroled them all
but the officers. The, soldiers were
mostly ON the sick list, but would have
routed and killed theerebels, but were
.peremptorily forbidden to- resist, and
compelled by the surgeon who had con-
troll, to lay down their armst He has
been known all the while to. be a rebel
at heart, while in the employ ofsthe
.Goyernm ent. He is now under arrest,
where he ought to have been long ago,
instead of wearing the uniform of the
Government he desires to see destroyed.
The rebel bandits were informed of
the state Of things, and piloted into town
by a couple of traitors of the place -
After the place had been -plundered and
the marauders had, retired, an indignant
citizen deliberately shot the Internal
scourdrels who betrayed the town.
And it will yet come to this wherever
such irredeemable villains are caught in
their toryism. We suppose the Val-.
landighamers in Ohio will insist on it
that they were shot merely because they
were Democrats! There is nothing
which is so insulting to as true, loyal
Democrats. as the course pursued by
some of the partisan papers in Ohio
Net single traitor is arrested, or a
seaitious sheet suppressed, but what
these papers announce that they were
prosecuted alone for their Demecracy.-4s
Iftliis be true, then Delnoeray and trea-
son mean exactly the same thing. But
they know we'll that there is no truth
in the charge Why should Secretary
a life long Democrat, arrest his
own party friends, and nobody else,
simply for being Democrats There is
else that SO surely could bring
the name Of Democrat into disrepute,
as this effort of desperate partisans to
cover with its mantle, every rascal who
is caught sonspiring with rebels to strike
down the best Government the world?
We deny that these unhung scoun-
lrels aretrue Democrats at all. They
have simply used the name and organ
zationsof the.party, to enable them, with
less danger to themselves, to carry out
heir plots against the Government. fit
we're not for the fact that this class
IF men have control of the party organ
zation, and most of its presses, they
would have no strength at all, the great
mass of the party being patriotic at
leart. We don't believe there are one
hundred men in Meigs, county who
yould give the slightest support to the
chemes of Yallandigham, Medary and
heir like, if their. appe ais were not
made in the name of the Democratic
)arty. 4

the backwardness of the season have ruined
the fruit and stunted the wheat. The Vienna
correspondent of the London Times furnishes
the following additional evidence of the gen.
eral failure =
''The price of grain is rising in all parts of
the Austrian empire, as the weather is very
unfavorable. The corn is cut in all parts Of
the country, and every second day there is
thunder storm, with long continued and
heavy rain; in fact, this summer is one of
the coolest and wettest that has ever been
known in Austria"
We have already exported large amounts of
breadstuffs to Europe, to supply the want
which begins to be felt, and the dep.si ID from

SO long as Europe must be fed from our SUP
plies, even were there no questions of policy

chances. Moreover, the steady drain of gold
must be arrested by the growing call for
breadstuffs, and we shall have our specie re-

SOME of our contemporaries attach impor-
lance to peace circular recently issued by
'Irad Kelly, of Cleveland, Ohio" His basis
of reunion rests upon the exclusion of the
New England states, which are to be allowed
to set up government for themselves while
the rest of the states become reconciled under
the old constitution. "The south would not
consent to receive them (the New England
states) until they repent and forsake." The
writer proposes further that each state shall
pay the wages of its own soldiers, that pres-
dent Lincoln and JEFF. Davis shall resign, and
Willard Fillmore be accepted as president of
the new republic, sans New England, with
John Bell and John j. Crittenden as vice
president and secretary of state! Uncharita-
Bile people would infer that Mr.. Kelly is
either traitor or a fool. He is simply in
sane. He was formerly gentlemen of large
wealth. but of many eccentricities of charac-
ter which developed into settled insanity.
The circular above alluded to is not the most
remarkable of its manifestations. One of his
peculiarites, when we knew him, consisted
in his setting himself up as candidate for
congress on independent issues, about which
he spent a great deal of time in writing and
money in printing circulars as absurd as the
one which the papers treat so seriously.
