Editor Pioneer.
DEAR SHIT may not be altogether
uninteresting toyour many readers 10 hear
from us at this point, although unaccus-
toned to letter writing, shall endeavor,
briefly, to give you few items in regard
to matters us they exist with us.
We are located about . quarter Of a mile
from Otterville, and one mile from Larmine
Crossing. The Camp ia situated in a beau
tiful Oak Grove, which forms complete
protection from the cold winds so preya-
lent in this part of the country.
For some time we have been without an
official head, the whole business of the bat
terry, devolving on Lieut.. Cyrus Sears, not
withstanding he has managed its affairs in
a manner TINT does honor to himself and
the company; yet all will admit the impor-
tance of having captain. The battery is
in fine working order and will compare ia
yorably with any in the service, Our ~;ch *
list has been somewhat langer for the past
few days than formerly. Much -four pres
ent sickness was contracted at our last en-
campment, which was in the low lands.
1t is quite cold and our only winter quar-
ters are our tents, but we have supplied
ourselves with stoves with which to heat
them. U S has provided us with Clothing
sufficient for any emergency. Our food is
of the best quality, and is furnished with
as liberal hand and in sufficient quantity.
I have just learned that Lieut.. T. G. Sands,
has been appointed Captain of the 11th,
Battery and will take the immediate COM
mand. Letters for any of the boys should
be addsessed in his care

Physical De, ,eiopnent.
Superior physical development may
have been the ancient simplicity of life
and manners !; but prvato,, and destitu-
ton were probably quite as great in pro-
portion to number
What were the means of knowledge
enjoyed by antiquity, in comparison with
those at our command ? Teaching was
oral in the schools of the phy ylosophers,
and their knowledge Of the world being
SO restricted, thei basis for genera. kuowl.
edge was extremely narrow, Then Their
mechanical helps were few aud insienif
can't A SwAMMERDA1k and LEwENno-
Ecn had not yet opened up by microsco-
pic research that wonderous world Of or
ganic life, invisible to the naked eye,
nor had GAL1LEo, by the invention Of the
telescope, and its direction to the heavens,
demonstrated the falseness of the Ptole
maic theory of our planetory system,
which recognized the earth as the centre
and established the truth Of that of Co
PERNIcUs, which all succeeding obserya-
tions have confirmed. No wonder, that
the ancient philosophers, when they left
the domain of geometry and pure mathe
matics, became such dreamers. Nor was
paper yet invented The Egyptian pap
rus, or waxen tablets, and the stilus,
formed the means of recording events.
And the mighty lever of the press had
not yet appeared. to move with its mute
eloquence the popular mind. The acute
ness of the Grecian intellect, indeed shown
conspicuous in the domain of philosophy
and ethics and in his special department
the scholastic world will scarcely allow
that there has arrisen a greater than AR
1srorLE. In the fine arts of sculpture and
architecture, they also produced models
which still constitute the cannons of crit
iciSm.
In painting and music the moderns
have gone immeasurably beyond them
1t is, however, in the art of expression,
oral and written, that the refined nations
of antiquity, attained an excellence which,
if reached at all by succeeding ages OF
the world, has, perhaps, never been sur
passed.
The writer's of those days had the ad
vantage Of finding before them, field
unoccupied, and hence the superior fresh
ness, simplicity and strength Of their style,
enlivened as far as a just taste will allow,
with imagery, and polished by the severe
use Of tho file, to the highest degree oi
finish.
The best models of taste are those oi
antiquity. The wolks of HOMER, HERO,
DoTus, XENoPHnN, THUcxDIDEs, CICIRo,
LIyY, HORACE and VIRGIL, are great mas
terpieces of art, apart from the informa
ton they contain, apart from their use
as s.logical discipline of the mental pow
ers, and form that knowledge of our own
language which can be best acquired by
the study of foreign one.

The Exchange of Prisoners.

So far 1000 prisoners on each side have
been exchanged, nearly 500 of whom
were connected with the army of the Po-
tomac. The system Of exchange inauger-
ated by our government is reciprocated by
the rabel authorities.

An Onslaught upon the County Papers

An Onslaught upon the County Papers,
By the passage Of the recent bill abol-
ishing the Franking Privilege, causes the
right of publishers sending free through
the mail, subscribers, their papers in the
county Of publication also to be abol-
ished. If this bill becomes law, which
we hope the Senate in their wisdom will
veto, the press in the rural districts will
receive blow from which it will be hard
for them to recover. Our Congressman,
Hon. WARREN P. NOBLE, voted for the
bill in all its features, thereby lending a
helping hand to injure the printing bust
ness in the rural districts, by building up
the monopolies in the cities.

R1 The Terre Haute Express, in an
article showing up Dan VOORHEES,, furnishes
the following quotation from speech made
by that individual in the House of Repre-
ssntatives on the goth day of January:
"Let them announce that the pledges of
the Government, so freely given in the
early part of this struggle, will not be bro
ken at the mad behests of abolitionism;
but tha; the conditiun of eUery human being
in the South, shall remain unchanged, srhether
the TeUoEation shall succeed or fail"
In commenting on this proposition the
Express says:
In this connection Mr.. Voorhees, was urg-
ing the Government to send out heraids be-
fore our armies, to proclaim peace and
Union to.the rebels, on the basis of equali-
ty, &c, and be desires that such herGLds
should say to JEFF. Davis, that whether the
rebellion shall fail or not, the condition of
every human being tn the South shall remain
unchanged If it comes to the fiual ques-
ton as to whether the Union or Slavery
shall be destroyed, Mr.. Voorhees, says, let
the Union go, but let the condition of every
negro in the South remain unchanged
Slavery is his first choice, and the Union
his second choice.
The Express might have appropriately
added that Mr.. Voorhees,, in urging that
the condition of every human being in the
North shall remain unchanged, whether
the revolution shall succeed or fail" was
not looking so much to the slaves as to
their masters. The owners of the slaves,
prior to the revolution, held the positions
ofhonor and trust in the Government. They
were Cabinet Ministers, Senators, and For
eign Ministers. They virtually controlled
the Government. Seeing that their lease
of power was near its end, they rebelled,
and are now doing their utmost to over
throw the Government they could no lon-
ger control. 1t is to restore these men to
their former position, !" whether the rev.
olution succeeds or fails" that Mr.. Voor-
hees labors. s5--.e4-r .s-
It is only by placing the administration
of the Government in the hands of Bu-
chanan, Davis and Floyd, that Mr.. Voor-
hees can be paci6ed. That is what be
means by insisting that the "eondition of
every human being in the South shall re-
main unchanged" No punishment for trea-
son receives Mr.. VOORHEES,. approval.

day says:
The 6fty-ffth regiment, of which Colo
mel Mahan is the commanding officer,
has been in town here for about a month,
guarding prisoners. 1t is one of the three
months regiments, and the men were enlist
ed under assurances that they were to do
home dntY only. But Kentucky having
been again invaded by Morgan's men, and
Governor Morton being called upon for
more troops, sent word to the 55th regiment
to know if they would go, and to their
honor be it said, nearly every man cheer
fully voted in favor of the proposition.
Accordingly, on Saturday afternoon they
were marched to the Capitol, where they
were addressed by the Governor, and in
the evening they left for Louisville, over
the Jacksonville road.
We trust the 55th may have an opportu.
nifty of engaging Morgan's guerrillas, for
we have faith that they will keep up the
reputation of Indiana soldiers.
