Seven Niggers take Possession of
White Mans House.

We are informed by gentleman residing in
the southern part of this township that a few
evenings since three big, ugly, black female mig
gers came to farm house in his neighborhood
and asked to stay ali night. They were told
they "cOuld not stay.
few moments after the arrival of the wenches
the ''contra's' having the affair all arranged
there came a second lot, consisting of four ugly,
big male nggers. The family becoming still
more frightened at this new feature in '.politcs "
said they could give them their supper, but could
not possibly accommodate them through the
night.
The darkies, thinking there was no "mlIen-
um" about that kind of talk, spoke up all about
the same time and all in about the same strain, as
follows:
'Oh, yes, dat's de way we am served You white
people in de Norf told us to run away from our
masters, an you would treat us like brudders; and
dis is de way we am treated"
A lively war OF words here ensued-in fear on
the part of the white family. but in an insoent
and determined manner the part of the Mig
ger.
They took the supper; and not only that, but
they STAYED all night, against the rehonstrance
of the proprietors of the house, and never said
so much as even "thanky."
The beauty of the thing is, however, the
whole of this white family, who were made the
slaves of niggers on this occasion, and had been
with the dawn, most effec.ually cure6 of aboli
tionism, and about as good Democrats as that
ism ever makes-and it makes them, when it
does make, most aIcfuL sound
This is only the beginning. Before a great
while these runaway negroes will be among US
as thick as five in a bed.-SOmerset (OhiO)

uusse,I,. Letter to smart.

FOREIGN OFFICE, LONDON, July 26.-Sir: 1
have left hitherto unanswered and unnoticed the
dispatch of Mr. Seward, which Mr.. Adams de-
lvered more than month ago. have done so
partly because the military events referred to in
il were, in the opinion of Her Maiestys govern
ment, far from being decisive, and partly because
there No proposal in it upon which Her Ma
Majestys government was called upon to come to
any conclusion. Events subsequent to the date
of MIR. Stewards letter have shown that Her
jestys government, in its opinion on the first of
these points, was not mistaken. Victories have
been gained, reverses have followed; positions
have been reached in the near neighborhood of
the capitol OF the Confederates, and those posi-
tions have been again abandoned.
These events have been accompanied by great
loss of life in battle, and in the hospitals, while
such measures as the confscation bill have pass
ed through both houses of Congress, and with
the proclamation of Gen. Butler at New Orleans,
bear evidence of the increasing bitterness of the
strife The approach of a servile war; so much
insisted on by Mr. Seward in his despatch, only
forwarns us that another element of destruction
may be added to the loss of property waste of
industry, which already afflicts the country, so
lately prosperous and tranquil nor, on the other
point to which | have adverted, have anything
new to say. From the moment that intelligence
first reached this country, that nine States and
several millions of inhabitants of the great
American Union had seeded, and had made war
on the government of President Lincoln. down
to the present time her Majesty's Government has
pursued friendly, open and consistent course.
They have been neutral between the two parties
to the civil
Neither the loss of raw material of manufac-
ture, so necessary to great portion of our peO-
pie, or insults constantly heaped upon the British
name in speeches and newspapers, nor rigOr be-
yond the usual practice of nations, with which
the Queens subjects, attempting to break loose
from the blockading of the Southern ports, have
been treated. have induced Her Maiesty's govern
ment to swerve one inch from the impartial neu-
trality, and at this moment have nothing more
at heart than to see that cOnsummation which the
President speaks of in his answer to the Gov
ernors of Is States, namely: the bringing of this
unnecessary and injurious civil war to speedy
and satisfactory conclusion
As to the course of opinion in this country, the
President is aware that perfect freedom to COM
ment upon all public events, is in this country the
invarIable practice, sanctioned by law and ap-
proved by the universal sense of the nation. |

The Attack on Gen. Buell..

We have the means of knowing that distin
guished military officers, who, for some months
past. have been familiar with Gen. Buell's posi-
tion are amazed at the numerous attacks made
upon him throughout the country. They say
that so far from doing nothing as charged, his
whole army has been engaged with the most nn-
tiring activity and energy in maneuvres upon a
grand scale, the purpose being to prevent Gen.
Bragg, with his $4,000 men, from penetrating
the rich lands of East Tennessee.
After the fall of Corinth, the army of the
Ohio lay in line with the right at Tuscumbia,
Ala, and the left at Battle Creek near Chatta-
nooga. The enemy massed $4,000 men at Chat
tanooga, intending too pass the river at that
point, intending to march, by way OF the Sequat-
chee valley, over to McMinnville and through
Murfreesboro to Nashville, and thus to turn the
left of Buell's army. BY the time Bragg was
ready to commence this important movement
Buell. changed his front, swinging his whole line
SO that the right, which was at. Tuscumbia. be-
came the left at McMinnville, while another
army lay from Battle Creek to McMinnvile,

ready to concentrate and crush the enemy at
whatever point he should attempt to pass into
Middle Tennessee. The rebels, having the rail-
road along the Tennessee river entirely at their
command, moved their troops with great rapidity
from Chattanooga to Knoxville, and rice UerSG,
seeking point to penetrate into Middle Tennes-
see, but were foiled everywhere.
During the whole summer General Buell. has
been maneuvering against double his own force
in the most mastery manner, and ALWAYS with
success. Nothing could surpass the rapidity of
the marches of his division. For weeks together
officers and men have been without the shelter of
tents, but they have been invariably at the point
indicated at the time indicated and eager for
battle. There is in the United States armies no
better General than Buell.. But he is honest and
conscientious, and unfortunately there are good
many people that don't like that sort of an officer
The country knows that it owes him much for
what he did at Shiloh, and it will yet learn that
it owes him much for what he done since and is
still doing.

The Conscientious ExemPt-A Law
Necessary TO Prescribe the Equiva-

EDITOR SENTINEL: The 9th section of article
II, Of the Constitution of Indiana, reads as fol-
lows, namely: "NO person conscientiOusly op-
posed to bearing arms, shall be compelled to do
militia duty; but such persons shall pay an equiv
alent for redemption, the amount to be prescribed
by law
The first clause of the section provides that
no such person shall be compelled to do militia
duty; the second clause imperatively requires that
all persons who claim the exemption shall pay
an equivalent; and the third clause requires the
amount to be fixed by law The section does not
prohibit such person from bearing arms, but only
says he shsll not be compelled to do so. Very
few of the class referred TO have volunteered TO
serve their country in the that they and their
doctrine have materially aided in bringing upon
the country; and all such persons are exempted
from the draft. The laws of Indiana have made
no provision for the payment of an equivalent
for such exemption. This should not be- All
persons who enjoy the protection and blessings of
the Government should bear their share of its
burthens. This exemption" has been carried
full tar enough, and now the penalty should be
added; and the equivalent should be such an
amount as would make this class feel that they
had some interest in the Government Let that
subject be agtated in all the counties in the elec-
ton of Senators and members of the House of
Representatives, tc the end that the persons
elected may not dodge the question, but that
they shall be held to a strict accountability for
their action in the premises. MONROE.

e The inhabitants OF the territory lately oc-
cupied by Gen. Pope are now at the mercy of the
rebel forces. Claiming, as the Confederates do,
that all inhabitants of Virginia are subject TO the
Southern Confederacy, they will visit with heavy
vengeance those who have taken the oath pre-
scribed by the late orders vof Gen. Pope. Until
our armies are so well established in southern
territory as to make it certain that we shall be
able to retain possession. it is useless severity to
force the oath of allegiance upon those whom we
are unable to protect. 1t does not forward our
cause or injure the ConfedeTates, and subjects
the people to the rage of the southern soldiery.
The inhabitants of Northern Virginia have been
told by our armies that il they did not take the
oath they would be driven from home and their
property confscated. The Confederates have
assured them that if they did not take the oath
they should be punished as traitors. They have
thus been kept alternating between opposing
forces. We have been compelled to retreat, and
Confederate armies are devastating Northern
Virginia and imprisoning the inhabitants. We
trust that hereafter the vindictive spirit of fanat
cism will be rebuked in such manner by our
Generals. that shame will compel it to keep ST.
lent regarding the treatment of southern people
by our armies -ChicayO Times.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Aug. %, 1907.
EDITOR SENTINEL: In a communication which
appeared in your paper of the 18th inst, giving
brief report of "a spoeci. of Judge Hughes, | used
the following language: "He Judge Hughes)
called upon Mr.. Harrington, who he said was
lurking in the crowd, although the valorous Judge
todS loeH duare Mr.. II. lcas miles 0rag on his
road home, to deny the truth of this" / will not
knowingly misrepresent or do injustice to any
one. The communication appearing on the 18th
irst., was intended to be fair and impartial. The
above statement, taken from il, was founded on
what deemed sufficient evidence to Justify it,
Judge Hughes, however, has since denied having
any knowledge OF Mr.. Harringtons departure
from Bloomington. Upon his statement to this
effect, together with the additional one that he
was informed on reaching the Ccur, House tha.
evening that Harrington was yet in Bloomington,
IN justice to Judge Hughes as well as myself |
desire to correct much of the statement as says
that he Iras of Mr.. H's absence.
BY giving the above place in the columns of the
Sentinel, you will oblige "SALT"

Governors Tod and Morton on the
Clergy, and the conscientious.

Governor Tod has decided that, in the draft
for troops about to take place. clergymen are not
exempt. In this respect. we do not feel inclined
to call in question the wisdom of our State Ex-
ecutve. We fail to see any reason for excusing
clergymen from serving in defense of ther coun-
try in the field of battle, that would not as well
apply to members OF other learned professions.
Several gentlemen OF the clerical calling have
voluntarily laid down the surplice and taken up
the sword; which shows that, in their opinion,
there is incompatabty. The heroism and
patriotic devotion of the Rev. Colonel Moody
although thus far, only displayed Ia a wav not
admitting of great personal risk, or requiring
great personal brayery-is, with us, almost a
a household word.
Besides, our clergy-many of them-have q
disposition unusually militant, The longest
the loudest, harshest and most persistent wal
blasts have been blown from the pulpit. The de
sire to encourage others TO take up arms could

The Government in the Tub and
Basket Business.

Now that the First Regiment of South Caro-
lima Volunteers"-having received their red
breeches from General Hunter-are disbanded,
the niggers who compose it, and who were to
compose the nucleus of Greeley and Hunters
army of "Americans of African descent" have
been put TO work making rush baskets and cedar
tubs, so that Uncle Sam now adds to his numer-
Gus other avocations that of basket and tub
maker.
Greelyand the whole abolition tribe do not like
this. Was there ever such cruelty heard of as to
force ngger to make tubs and baskets ? 1t is
awful-a pro-slavery device, degradation oi
flesh and blood, waste of General Hunters red
breeches. Poor Greeley. Poor abolitionists, that
they should live to see their sable darlings max
ing tubs and baskets.-Detroit Free Press.

greeley and the president.

Greeley's letter to the President and the reply
appear in the Journal of this morning. Presi-
dent Lincoln has his own notions as to the pro-
prieties of life and his position. He has no hesi-
tatlon in calling upa lot of colored men and
making them speech. nor of replying to a
newspaper article aimed at him. We fear he will
find the last named business less profitable than
the first Greeley has all advantages and knows
how to use them. If his rejoinder is not an able
paper, one which shall be read and remembered
for many years. he will lose the finest opportunity
an editor ever had to distinguish himself in a
single leader--Latayeffe Journal.

stranded whales, without damage to the attack
ing party, and without chance of escape for the
Aounderng victim.
This being the history of our naval operations
in the West, it may be well TO naugurate a
change Whether this will be met by the plan
proposed by Mr.. Duble is more than | am pre-
pared to say. Something, however, needs TO be
done; and, perhaps, there is nothing better to
prevent invasion from the border States than a
fleet of the kind suggested by the gentlemen now
here. If they fail to secure the aid of the Gov
ernment an effort will be made to have the thing
done by the States bordering on the Ohio River
the very ones that are ntDst closely interested
in the enterprise. Let our Western armored
boats be disposed of as archaeological curiosites,
and then let us have some more effective. There
are efforts being made for change in respect to
the style of iron-clads for Western service, but
with what success cannot vet be told.
