TANNING FOR THE CONVENIENTLY Tanners
throughout the country are going into the business
for the government. The government, it appears, is
buying the hides and cattle and the tanners are to
tan on shares, or so much per h. It is an impor-
tant movement We would substitute, if it be
necessary, any thing in the place Of leather,
in order that our brave soldiers may be shod this
winter. Our soldiers must have clothing and blan-
kets, or covering and shoes and hats, no matter
what it may cost If our men are kept in the field,
their real wants and the wants of their families must
be supplied But will this plan reduce the price of
leather to the people? The government will doubt
less paw full consideration to the tanners.-By
what principle Of justice mercy can they ask the
people more for an article than they do the govern
ment? The same principle holds good as regards
manufacturers, farmers, and producers of all kinds.

We learn that Mr. Cunningham, Of Person, one
of the Councillors Of State, did not receive the mott
fication from the Governor to attend until the day
fixed for the meeting This was owing to some un.
accountable delay in the mail. We feel sure that
Mr.. G. would have attended, if he had received the
notice in time.
We learn also that Mr. Graves resigned his place
as Councillor on the 22d of August last and the va
cancy had not been filed
1t is due to truth that we should also state that
the Council failed to meet On one occasion, when
notified by Gov. Clark.
If Mr.. Long had attended, as he could and should
have DONE quorum would have been present. and
the necessary steps could have been taken to re-
press speculation in articles Of prime necessity, to
clothe our troops, and to defend the coast As it
is, the hands Of the Governor are tied in this re-
spect until the meeting Of the Legislature.

~ We are under many obligations to our

tion.of both the Daily and Weekly Indiana State

sincere thanks for the numerous evidences Of

his country, torn and distracted though il is, to
relax exertion on his part, during the present
emergency, but continue to labor and talk with
his associates. and place in their possession such
information as will instil the principles of good

shoddy shoes.

An interesting corr espondence has taken place
between General Haleck and Quarsermaster
General Meigs, respecting shoes and clothing fur
nished for the army of Southwestern Missouri.
Brgadier General Curtis, who is pursuing Price

non, that 1.-The shoes issued 10 the troops on the
march wear out in four days. pair of boots
were presented few days ago which had been
worn only three days, and the soes were CON-
pletely Off" The shoes are described to have
the space between the outer and inner soes filled
with pieces OF old plate iron. which work loose,
and cut the stitches" Much of this worthless
trash, Gen. H. says, has been received through
the Governors of States, aud there is no way of
tracing out the contractors. 1t seems that the
troops here preyed upen by all the rascally
contractors in the United States This must
be stopped. 1t will not be endured much longer"
He also refers TO the ''shoddy" clothing, much
of which came from the Philadelphia arsenal,
having passed through the hands OF the inspect
ors there Gen H. says, and truly, sif the Gov
eminent will employ Incompetent and dishonest
agents in the Quartermaster's Department, the
Treasury and not the army, should bear the con-
sequence OF the frauds of these agents" He
recommends the opening of the shops in ST.

Party D,yissons.

In the coming elections the people of the
United States win be divided into two po-
litical parties. One party will be composed of
those who are in :ayor of the Constitution as it
was understood and interpreted by the patriots
who framed it, and the great statesmen who have
guided the destinies of the nation and the Union
as it was, and the other party will be composed
Of those who are opposed to the restoration of
the Union as it was. with the rights, dignity and
equality of all the States unimpaired. and who
regard the Constitution as subordinate to the
Higher Law, and that it should not be respected
as the supreme Law of The land. Parties in the
future will divide upon these issues, and there is
no difficulty in foreteiling upon which side the
conservative masses of the country will be found.

MEDICAL.
SCrofula, or Kings Evil

Is a constitutional disease a corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes viiiated, weak
and poor. Being in the circulation, IL pervades
the whole body, and may burst ont in disease ON
any part oft. No organ is free from It's attacks,
nor is there one which il may not destroy. The
scrofulous faint is variOUsly csused by mercurial
disease, low living, disOr0ered or unhealthy food,
impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing
vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection.
Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in the
constitution, descending "fr0m parents 70 chill
dren unto the third and fourth generation; indeed
it seems to be the rod of Him who saws: 81 viii
visit the iniquites of the fathers upon their chill
dren"
It's effects commence BY deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or ulcerOus matter, which, in
the lungs, liver and internal organs is termed tn
bercies; in the glands, swelings and on the sur
face, eruptions or sores This foul corruption,
which genders in the blood, depresses the ener-
gies OF life so that scrofulOus constitutions not
only suffer from scrofulous complaints, but they
have far less power to withstand the attacks of
other diseases; consequently vast numbers perish
by disorders which, although not scrofdlous in
their nature are still rendered fatal BY this faint
in the system. Most of the consumption which
decimates the human family has It's origin directly
IN this scrofulOus contamination; and many de
structive diseases of the liver. kidneys BRAIN and
indeed, OF all the organs, arise from or are ag-
gravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all people are scrofulous,
their persons are invaded by this lurking infec-
ton, and their health is undermined by it. To
cleanse it from the system we must renovare the
blood by Alternative medicine, and invicorate
il by healthy food and exercise. Such medicine
we supply in

BY solemn declarations, the position was
sumed by the Administration, by Congress. and
the officers of the army, that the war, (being
forced upon the United States,) is to be prose
cuted for the maintenance Of the Constitution
and the restoration of the Union as it was Upon
these avowals, unequivocaily made by all these
high functionaries, large army was put into the
field. Mr.. DUN. Republican member of Con-
gress, stated in speech in the House. that the
larger portion of the volunteers would not have

Kansas Lame.

A few weeks ago JIM LANE took a tour TO
Kansas from Washington City, and on his way,
stopping at all the cross roads, announced with a
grand flourish of trumpets that he was authorized
by the President to raise army on his own
hook, with the privilege of fighting the rebels in
his own way. He had magnificent scheme on
paper. TWAS splendid air castle. 1t was given
out with the utmost confidence, that in about ten
days after he reached Kansas he would raise his
army, and with it be battering at the gates of
New Orleans. General HUNTER snubbed him
and with avery slight puDcture he fell from his
airy nights Then he announced if he could not
go as commander, he would shoulder his musket
and take place in the ranks. On Monday he
turned up in the Senate, and although Senator
WILSON said men were needed to Gil up the ranks
of the regular regiments. General LANE said
nothing about enlisting as private.
