Ed JoURNAL:-As member of a
company, organized at least month sub
sequent to the Governors order, calling
out the militia, and..in behalf of many
members of said company, l object to
having companies that were not heard of
until ordered out by the Governor, placed
in more honorable positions in the regi-
men,. F,
We also respectfully object to being
kept out in battalion drill to an unneces-
sary late hour, when it could just as well
have been avoided by proper energy and
attention.
We also respectfully object to being
compelled to do military duty while hun
dreds are loa6ng around on the street
corners and refuse to drill, when the
Governor has ordered out all able bodied
men; especially when the members Of
the Legion are exempted from daily drill
by the express order of the Governor.

IFrom the Boone
Remember.

REMEMBER, that in the coming De-
tober election, interests are involved, CO.
equal in Importance with our very ma
tionality; that wicked and designing men
are secretly using means, that would not
bear the light of day, to elevate to posi-
tons of power and influence, men who
sympathize with the rebels, who would
lend them aid and comfort, and Arnold
like would betray the people that trusted
to them. rl hE
REMEMBER, that there are but two
sides in this great atruggle-there is no
middle wayne who is not firmly, uncon-
ditionally loyal, must be disloyal-the
hackneyed cry of a" id black Abolition
list and the Constitution as it is and
the Union as it was" to the contrary not
withstanding.
REMEMBER, that at the 5th of July
Convention in this county-notwith-
standing there were many honest, we'll
meaning citizens deceived into taking a
part in its deliberattons-ma of the
prime moyers-the Secretary who draft
ed the resolutions, and others who took
a prominent part, and claimed to be
good Union men-have been detected in
| their treason, some Of them shot, others
in prison, and their candidate for Repre-
sentative skulking through the country,
| a fugitive from the righteous vengeance
of justly incensed people.
| RMEMBER, that if you act with those
men at the coming election, you will be
considered as one of them, bear their
name, and leave legacy of infamy to
your children that win cause them to
curse your memory.
REMEMBER, that the candidates on
the independent Union ticket, are all
men Of unimpeachable loyalty; eminent
for honesty, integrity, patriotism, and in
telligence-that they have battled brave
ly for their country in her time of trouble,
and they will receive the support of ev-
cry loyal man in the State, District or
county.

THE Dress PARADE.-The first dress
parade of the Second Regiment of the
Indiana legion, under the new organiza-
ton took place on Saturday evening, and
surprised every one by the number ofsol-
diers who appeared on the parade ground.
10 There were fully 1000 infantry in line,
and about go cavalry. The infantry
were all armed with the exception of one
company, and when drawn up in line of
battle, made most formidable appear
ance, hundreds of fair and fascinating
ladies of the city graced the parade
ground with their presence.
Several of the companies which we
have noticed from day to day, are max
ing rapid and evident improvement in
drill, and if all, both officers and men,
would give their sole attention to the bu-
siness of the hour, the improvement
would be much more rapid, and the bur-
den and labor greatly lightened. Every
ear should be open to hear each command
and the only voices heard along the lines
should be those of the officers in COM
mand. .~----~g-. ,-v-,-.s - =
Men win never make proficient sol
diers while they indulge in private: con-
versation while on duty, and while they
take no interest in the matter.
As mutual duty, the officers should
be prompt and expeditions in the ar
rangements and movements. Beware OF
protracting unnecessarily the time, and
thus firing the men and Establishing
them with the duties There was uni.
versal complaint of the prolixity of the
exercises on Saturday evening, and tc
some extent just Where the blame rest
ed, all are as competent to Judge as our
self Most of the officers, as well as thu
men are inexperienced, and cannot be ex
pected to make their dispositions and ev
olutions as promptly and as accurately a
veterans of hundred battles, but the.
should, by all means, avoid crowding TOT
much into one afternoon, until the off
GERS andmen are more experienced
The organization of the militia is an i'm
perative necessity, and the aim of the Of
4 ficers should be, as we trust it is, t.
make the duty pleasure. 80 a
The men can greatly aid the officer
and advance their own comfort, BY gis
ing strict attention to their orders. d :

% If we were Gale

B9- IF we were called on to point out
the men who, in our humble opinion, is
laboring with most zeal, according to his
ability, in the great conspiracy of break
ing up the government and attaching the
Northwest to the Southern Confederacy,
we should say that man was the Editor of
the Vincennes Sun. From the time Fort
Sumter was assaulted and captured to
the present moment not one word has
appeared in his paper calculated to irri-
tate the rebels, and not word in favor
of the government. During that time
not paper, that we have seen, has been
issued but contained numerous vile at
tacks upon the Administration. The OBJ
iect of Mr. Green is perfectly Transparent,
and the effects of his labors are distinctly
seen in those portions Of this District
where his paper circuIates. He is well
aware of the rejoicing that would take
place in, the South should the Sth-of-
January ticket triumph in this State,
and we are not so sure if the October
election should so result that he would
not go south to receive the congraula-
tions of his rebel friends.
AS specimen Of the utter reckless
ness of his paper in its abuse of the Ad-
ministration and the Republican party,
we notice in its last leading article that
in one paragraph he charges the Repub-
licans with being the cause of the war,
because "they spurned all oyertures-
planted the odious Chicago platform, re-
fusing to abate one jot or title of its
provisions" and in another paragraph
of the same article alleges that the
New York Tribune, Cincinnati CONNER
cial, Indianapolis journal, Chicago Tri-
bune, and lesser lights of the Republican
press, all strenuously urged that war
was eternal separation and dissolution
that the cotton States had a right to 60
out of the Union-that an attempt to CO.
cree or to force them to remain parties
to compact where they considered their
rights trampled upon and disregarded
was unjust, impolitic, and untenable, and
that separation was a thousand fold pre-
ferable to war; Fsvr WY ser
In one paragraph he asserts that the
Republicans are the cause of the war be-
cause they "spurned all overtures, and
in another that they are the cause of the
war because they were in favor of letting
the Southern States go out Of the Union
rather than hare TGr.
This is fine sample Of the contempt
BILE demagoguism of the Sum 1t shows
what high estimate the editor of that
paper places upon the Intelligence of its
readers.

OUR JOHNSON VICTORIOUS

Colonel Foster reports that as the 65th
regiment, Lieut. Col Johnson, part of
Shackelford's cavalry, under Major Hollo
way, and two companies of the Fourth
Indiana cavalry, uader Major Platter,
with their baggage trains, were enroute
to Henderson, Adam Johnson, the lead
er Of the hospital robbers and house bur
ners, concentrated his whole force to sur
prise them and capture their train. AS
they entered laae near Vandersburg
the rebels opened upon them, at about
thirty yards distance from the brush,
killing one man and wounding three or
four. The Hoosiers and loyal Ken
tuckians promptly returned the fire and
dived into the woods to find the rebels,
but the cowardly thieves, true to their
instincts, broke and run like hounds, but
not without leaving such evidences as.
assure us that several of them were sent
to their last home, and others severely
wounded When mile and half or
two miles from the little village of Cairo
they again opened fire on our men, but
were again routed with severe punishment
Five dead rebels were found in the brush,
and traces of blood marked their retreat.
Near the farm of Mrs. Suggs, Adam, the
plunderer, made his third attempt, but
was the third time signally routed from
the brush, and sent flying for life like
scared lpartridges. 40 aIgTT z
Col. Tom Johnson took six or seven
prisonees, a number of guns and horses,
and brought his train and command
safely to Henderson. His whole loss
was one killed and four wounded. The
total rebel loss was considerable, as our
forces fought them promptly and gal
lantly.a @ sxEE-R FE 50 &r = g
|, A brother of Col Shackelford who &C
companied the expedition, and who was
in the battles of Fort Donelson and
Pittsburg Landing, speaks in the highest
terms of the conduct of Lieut. Colonel
Johnson, and the men who fought under
him He says the boys darted into the
woods after the rebels like grey hounds,
and evinced steadiness and courage
that would have done credit to veteran
troops. a,
Col Foster, in his report, speaks in
high terms of Major Holloway of Shack
| Chords Cavalry, and of Major Platter Of
the 4th Indiana Cavaly, who rendered
Col johnson valuable assistance. The
cowardly guerrillas won't give our folks
a fair fight, but skulk like assassins anC
thieves in the bushes to fire on our troops
and then run like towards to their horses
and skedaddle But that game is abou
played out, and soon these skulkers vii
find themselver in position where the.
will have to fight or surrender Their
term of life and liberty is about run out

Garlic stumping for the South.

The following is from the Grenada
(Mississippi) Appeal: all
The Lynchburg Republican says Car
lille, who represented Pierpont's usurpa-
ton in the Lincoln Senate, is stumping
the Western part of Virginia, against the
war and in favor of the South. At
Clarksburg he said he was no longer in
favor of the war, but with the South
against the anti-slavery party, and that
it was folly to talk of subjugating the
South.
1t is reported that the enemy have
evacuated the Kanawha Valley, and in
their retreat attempted to burn the
Kanawha salt works, but failed. The
citizens of Northwestern Virginia are
focking eastward to join the Confederate
army.
This is the same Garlic whose treas
enable speech at the Convention of Sc
cession sympathisers held here on the
30th ofJuly was pronounced by the Sem
tinel as mastery effort, and received
its endorsement with the prediction that
no one could "rise from its perusal with
out the conviction that the speaker fully
understood the questions he discussed,
and that the policy he advocated is the
only one which presents any hope for the
maintenance of the Constitution as it is,
and the restoration of the Union as il
was l-fa m ct
The Sentinel hoped that the speech
would have an influence for good, if rea-
son and truth, not passion and prejudice
are yet to control the action of the peo-
pie" M h bau
AS Garlic has not changed since the
30th of Jaly, and as he is " no longer for
the war;" and thinks it folly to talk Of
subjugating the South the inference is
plain that he and his friends in Indiana
believe the only way to restore the Union
is to give up to the rebels and let jeff
Davis take possession of the Govern
ment-Indianapolis Journal
And this is the same Garlic Whose
reasonable speech the selfstyled Demo
cratic leaders of the First Congressiona
District are scattering broadcast among
the people. Now what is the object
What can it be but to produce the legiti
mate fruits produced III Western Vir
ginia--to induce men to flock eastwart
to join the Confederate army. Do the
intelligent voters of Indiana desire an,
further unmasking of these leaders VIII
thus import a man, who is stumping hi

duty, in order to visit those leaders witt
