LOUISVILLE, Nov. 20, 1860
Ed. JOURNAL: Dear Sir:-Will you
permit me, through your colmns, to men
ton the gentlemanly bearing of the Off
GERS and men of the Goth Regiment In
diana Volunteers / had the pleasure
of being with them on the border of Ken
lucky and back of Lebanon last summer,
and the opinion everywhere expressed
was, " if all our troops would conduct
themselves in the same manner. the peo-
pie along the route of our armies would
have no cause for grumbling.".
And as an East Tennesseean, wish
to mention Lieut. Col HIGHLAND, of your
State. Last spring he came on the bor-
der of Tennessee, and contributed much
towards recruiting and organizing the
9TH Tennessee regiment of volunteers
He is a gallant soldier, and not only
has the respect of the whole regiment,
but every border man who has had the
pleasure of his acquaintance. If you
can possibly spare them, send US over
many more such.
