S1mpudence0 VS., all Nature.
EDITORS JOURNAL u nder the head of
HImpudence," little item appeared in the
Journal on Saturday morning, which dealt
10 unnecessarily severe terms with very
innocent natter-a practical joke, perpetra-
ted by several of cur town boys with the
aid of a young man from indianapolis, to
while away leisure hour, and make lit
tie fuu for the benefit of all who are suffi-
GENTLY free from bile to enjoy this exhilara-
ting article.
The visitor to our town, in question, is
very clever, well meaning young man, good
natured, fond of a joke, and able to take
one. he had volunteered in the army, and
came down here to visit bis relatives and
friends, preparatory to leaving for the seat
of war;
The "goak I" consisted IN taking an en-
rollment for the purpose of drafting, and
| our friend, being stranger and unknown,
was put forward by our boys as commits
sioner from Indianapolis to take the ENROLL
| meut OuuACc IL W ooyi PAOt was 6OOui
and the actors before and behind the scenes
performed their parts well.
Some 6rst rate autographs, that would be
considered good on ''gilt edge paper" by
our bankers, were obtained; few of the
timid were frightened; some of the "secesh"
were made to skedaddle;' several very
young and very old men were discovered,
and bad state of the general health OF
certain portions of the town was disclosed.
Some persons say that it was too serious
a matter to joke about. All have to say
is, without little sport occasionally we
should all become corroded with care; and
all who cannot enjoy it, ought to emigrate
to some country where people never laugh
and grow fat"
In the words of the poet, Pope:
ga little nonsense now and thsn,
Is Telihhed by the best of men,"
This little circumstance has undoubtedly
been represented to you, by one or more Of
the victims, as something awful: but | as
sure you, the joke was entirely harmless
aud much enjoyed by number of citizens
and by the writer, who likes fun occasion
ally, and was,
ONE OF THE VICTIMS.

ARRESTED FOR TREAsoN.-Amos Green, a
pestilent secession sy mpathizer and lawyer of
Paris, Ills, was arrested in Terre Haute on
The sympathizers about Terre Haute had
writ of habeas corpus sued out, and Green
was taken before Judge Claypool of that
judicial circuit, and Immediately discharg-
ed. A new order for bis arrest was receiv-
ed by Sheriff Conner who Immediately con-
veyed him to Paris. There are some SYM
patbizers around Terre Haute, who will
find themselves in the strong grasp of the
government, unless they watch their tongues
better. ~

TRADE THAT SHOULD BE CoNTRABAND.-
We are informed that the steamer Lady
Pike, on recent trip, put eff 400 barrels
of salt at Mitchell's Landing, a point be-
tween Island No. 10 and Fort Pillow. This
salt was taken at once by the rebels and
transported into the interior. The river
was for some days lined with skiffs carry
ing off the salt This is a business that
should be stopped Gin. Commercial
This is the legitimate front of the unad-
vised, not to say foolish, order of Secretary
Chase that commerce should follow the
flag. We have not the slightest doubt that
there is now more salt in possession of the
rebels than they have had for year aud a
half. When navigation was first opened
every boat took hundreds of barrels of sal
to Columbus, Kick man and Memphis. One
boat, few weeks since, took 1920 bbls
from this city to Hickman, more than
enough to supply all the Union men in
West Tennessee, exclusive of the Federal
army. 1t is no mark of creduity to be-
lieve portion Of this fell into the hands oil
the rebels.

not aware of Mr.. Hager's ice being short
until the latter part of last week. On Mon
day started to procure Ice, but found none
short of Chicago, at which place bought
three hundred and fifty tons, and will be on
hand as soon as it arrives. The ice coming
from so great distance, wills of course cost

BG-At the war meeting at Morrisville,

DEMooRAT MREqING. About % or 30 of
those who seem to think JEFF. Davis a bet-
ter man than Mr. Lincoln, apd who bestow
all their abuse upon the latter while they
have never word to say agains: the former
assembled at the Court House on Saturday
afternoon to appoint delegates to the Con-
vention to be held at Vincennes on We'd
nesday next. Squire Stinson was appoint.
ed President Of the squad add Mr. Maier,
Secretary. At fret glance the meeting had
the sombre appearance of Mark Antony,
Come to buy Cesar
Not to praise him.
But those posted in the politics of Wander
bug county would soon make the discovery
that most of those present were file leaders
bell weathers of the flock-eud when the
proper time came could have out their clans
in full force. So tar as we could Judge
everybody was appointed delegate who
said he would go. This was eminently
proper as the meeting passed the following
resolution by which the delegates are to be
absolutely guided 10 their votes at the Dis
trict Convention:
RESOLVED, That the democratic party oil
Wander burg Co. have full faith and conf
dence IN the loyalty, patriotism, and democ-
racy of the Hon. John Law our Represen-
tative FROM the lst Congressional District Of
Indiana in TIE 9th Congress of the United
States, that we fully approve OF his con.
duct while a member in The late Session Of
the same, and endorse the same and 10 be-
half of the democracy of said county cor
| daily recommended his denomination a
the District Convention of the lst Congress
sional District at their session to be held d
Viucennes on the 18th inst and hereby in
struct the delegates of Vanderburg county
at said Convention to cast their votes fo
him as the first choice of the democracy o
Vanderburg county.
A good deal of miscellaneous chat was In
dulged 10, one of those present. among othe
things, suggesting that the delegates to tn
District Convention adopt what has bee
the principal uniform of the rebel soldiers
| and go to the convention dressed in ful
suit of "butternut." This suggestion seem
ed to meet with high favor, as it was con
sidered quite big thing.
Judge Law then made his appearance
address bis fellow "dimmy Gratis" and pro
ceeded to do so at some length. His speec
was very similar TO that made at Princeton
(of which we publish an abstract this morn
ing with some important additions whic
we shall notice at length in due season

movement devote whole columns ia abuse
of the administration, while they have not
a word of condemnation For the rebels, and
only a sentence or TWO in favor of prcsecu-
ting the war, the only fair inference is,
that they desire the triumph of the South,
and the overthrow of the government. II
this be deemed too severe, the facts will war
rant no less conclusion than that the lead
ers in their insene desire for Office and po-
sition, would sacrifice the country. if the
party can be boilt only on its ruins.

ImPS1KTaNT TO SOLDIERS.

In order to carry into effect the recent
order of the President about absent officers
and soldiers, notice is hereby given that all
soldiers who have furloughs from any of
the hospitals at Evansville or BIT. Vernon,
or from the (now broken up) hospitals of
Henderson, Newburg, Terre Haute, or Vim
cennes, and all soldiers who have left any
ofthe above named hospitals without leave,
or at the time of the raid of the rebel thief
johnson were scattered through the coun-
try, must report within ten days from this
date, IN person, to the Medical Director at
Evansville, or they will be considered as
deserters, be liable to arrest, and lose all
Their pay. This affords the last oppOT tiInity
for all men absent from the hospitals of
this section, and scattered about the coun-
try, to return. Mayors, Chiefs of Police,
Sheriffs, Postmasters. and Justices of the
Peace, are authorized by the order of the
President to assist in this matter, and it is
hoped they will report to the Medical Di-
rector all instances in their neghborhood
of colcards who are skulking about the
country, too faint-hearted to meet the ene-
my, and go mean that they wear the clothes
of soldier, while they are cheating the
army of the little good that might be de-
rived from their services.

How to Make Money and Serve ahe COu"tr y.


Under the auspices of Capt Finnie the Nire Bureau
of this city is producing and forwarding to Richmond
fom nine twelve Thousand pounds OF nitre per month
and this quantity will be rapidly increased Those OF our
citizens who would understand the modus OperGndi of
this business conducted by this brancn OF the Ord
nance Department, would do we'll to call at the Office
on Gay steeet, and see somewhat of that which
term vilIainous saltpetre in its crude state.
For the rapid production of this commodity, so in
dispensabe in the conduct of this war; We are mainly
indebted to the operation of the Conscript Act
| forced by Col. Blake and directed by Capt Finne.
These two energetic and excellent gentlemen and off
GERS often collide but when would be non.combatant
escapes Col Blake, he does by falling into the en-
braces OF Capt Fnnie. This is the end of him, for he
is converted into the materl OF war; OF which he makes
from two to three pounds per diem.
These, however, are not the only agencies employed
in producing saltpetre. Last week old lady, whose
houses were built in North Carolina though they
now not more than ten miles from Knoxville, made from
an ashbopper" filed repeatedly with earth taken from
beneath them, $98 worth OF salpeter We may explain
Just here that all Tennessee in former times part
of the Old North State"
Capt Finnie pays seventy-iVe cents per pound fol
all that is produced, and the trade Is becoming very
thriving one. The mountain caves are filled with mer
engaged in this new branch of industry. Patriotic
ladies' who would the South and at the same time
turn an honest penny, embarkpg in the business
? Of gun powder shall heDceOrth have a grea
abundance if the Government secure at other point
such energetic and skul agents those employed il
: this Department Not long ago the Ord .nce Bureau
secured 100 900 pounds Of ulpbur on board singh
vessel which constitutes ten per cent? charcoal hee
per cent and saltpeter seventy6ve per cent. of gu
powder This hundred Thousand pounds OF phur wi
make one million pounds of gun powder, which shoul
