kH- When the Congressional District
regiments were 6rst called tor, it was
thought il would take several weeks TO
raise them. Consequently clothing aud
camp equipage were shipped by Captain
Ekiu to the different district rendezvous
sufficient 10 accommodate 800 men in each
regiment. Now that the regiments are all
10 be ordered 10 Indianapolis, no more ship
menls will be made, and articles that were
at the depols were recalled on Saturday,
The enrolling, clothing, equipping and
arming will ali be done here Indianapolis

Why is it that everything in the State
has to subserve the interests of Indianapo-
lis? Why is it that Regiments can not re-
ceive their outfits at their various places of
rendezvous If they are to receive one
months pay in advance why not pay it to
them where they are organized Regi-
meuts are mustered out of service where
they are mustered in, and of course all the
mouey spent in this State for war purposes
must go into the pockets of the IudianaPo-
litans. We are anxious that the capital
should be abundantly provided for; but we
see no use of putting the government to
needless expensed for transportation, merely
in order to pur all the money necessarily
spent by volunteers in the purchase of lit
ala ,,acsaosries for thei---...es -.--i---A---a-
of the business men at the capital.

TIE PREsIDENT's OPINION OF GEN. Nc
CLELLAN.-The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette, Agate, gives
the following as the Presidents opinion of
Gen. Mcclellan:
aa" Mcclellan must be good military
man," be said. Everybody says be is.
These military men all say so themselves,
and it isn't possible that they can all be so
completely deceived as some OF You insist.
He is we'll versed in military matters, and
hes had opportunities of experience and OBJ
servation. Still there must be something
wrong somewhere, and Til tell yon what it
is, he never embraces his opportunities, -thars
where the trouble is-ne always puts OH
the hour for embracing bis opportunities.
People who insist on knowing "just what
the Presi lent really thinks of Mcclellan"
have it there as he unreservedIy expressed
it not a week ago.
We think Agate must be mistaken. For
if the President really thinks Mcclellan
never has and never will embrace his OPP
portunty," he ought to remove him at once
and appoint somebody that would "embrace
his opportunity"

Evansville Rifles, Attention.

One hundred persous-most OF them bu-
siness men who keep their word in ord,-
nary matters-sigued an agreement to re-
organize the Evansville Rife Company. A
meeting to organize was appointed for Mon
day evening, nth. Not half the signers
were there. Now this is shameful, and an
imposition on those who attended and
showed willingness to live up TO their
agreement.
The meeting adjourned, without organic
ing, to Wednesday evening, August ID, at
ii o'clock, when final effort will be made
to re.organize the Company. Au those
who signed the agreement are requested to
attend and take an interest in the organiza-
ton. Let us have full attendance and no
Sinking of duty, nor attendance by proxy

Gen. Charles Sidney Winder.

We were in error in our last in stating that Gen.
Winder, who was killed in the battle of Southwest
Mountain, Federal officer. Gen. Charles S.
Winder was native of Maryland He graduated
at the Military Academy at West Point in 1850,
and was placed IN the Sd regiment of Artillery. A
few years after he entered the service he with his
regiment, was ordered to California. They started
on the steamship San Francisco, and when few
days from New York, she was lost Many of the
passengers were saved. Lieut. Winder, for his gal
liant services this OCCASION promoted to Cap
tam OF Infantry and ordered with his regiment
to Oregon, where he for a long time actively
engaged against the hostile Indians in that State.
As soon as the Provisional government of the
Confederate States was formed at Montgomery he
resigned his commission in the United States army
left his home in Maryland and rendered his services
to the South. They were accepted, and he was or
dered to report to Gen. Beauregard at Charleston,
S. c., as Captain Of Artillery, in which capacity
he rendered good service in the bombardment of
Fort Sumter. After the fall of Fl Sumter, he was
placed in the command Of the Arsenal at Charles
ton, where he remained until called by the Presi-
dent to take command of South Carolina regiment
in Virginia. He FASTENED to Beauregard with his
regiment, and arrived at Manassas Just as the ene-
my began their retreat-too late to join in the
battle.
At the time of the retreat of General Johnston's
army from Manassas, he was promoted to Brigadier
General, and was ordered to reporsto Gen. Stone
wall Jackson, and was by him placed in command
of his old brigade. known the "Stonewall Brig
ade." This trying position for him. He
was the successor of the great Jackson, and the
brigade believed no one capable of supplying his
place; but he soon all objecti&, and they
learned to love him and respect him secVhd only to
Jackson.
He shared with the army of the Valley all its
hardships and victories, and narrowly escaped with
bis life, having two horses shot under k3 -and af.
ter having safely passed through the hard fought
battles about Richmond, he was doomedIto fall in
the battle of Southwestern Mountain.
He leaves widow and several children to mourn
his unmeIy death, at their home in hisjnatiVe Ma
ryland The remains of one brothersfest on the
plains of Mexico, where he fell in defence of the old
government--but others, with many FRIENDS, are in
the service Of the Coufederacy and will asense his
death.
Semi-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1853-18??, 1862-08-16
Half Sheet.

We shall be under the necessity hereafter, until
the close of the war; or until the price of printing
paper is reduced, of furnishing our Semi-Weekly
subscribers with half sheet. We are now paving
more than double the amount which we paid before
the war for paper, and four times more than We
formerly paid for ink; and both these articles arc
difficult to be procured, even at these prices. The
Petersburg and Richmond papers, and others of our
cotemporaries, have been issuing half sheets for
several months past We only follow their exam
pie, in yielding to necessity almost imperative.
Our Semi-Weekly will contain in half, sheet
quite as much reading matter as We have heretofore
furnished. Our Weekly will continue to be issued
on whole sheet, and will contain all the reading
matter of the SEM Weekly.
We had one or two courses before us-ethcr to
advance the price of the STANDARD, or reduce the
Semi-Weekly to half sheet. We think our pat
and friends will prefer the latter course, we
have.
While on the subject we may as well add, that
there is better advertising medium in the State
than the Stdndard. Its circulation is probably
larger than that of any paper in the State, and
Stantly increasing.
