INDIANAPOLIS, IND, MONDAY, AUGUST 25, 1862


Some of our pious .Abolitionists hold it trea-
son to discuss military OF rtpolitical questions
during a war. TheAskillfnf mariner, amidst
storms and dangers, ssudies lik charts for safety
and our perils are a greater stimulous for patri-
otic exertions; and thepeople have not virtue
and intelligence enouh for selfgoyernment, then
our Republic is played ont.
And trust in conclusion, that if the voices OF
Washington, jackson, Clay and Webster, speak
ing from the grave, have not been sufficient to
warn us against sectional controversies, that the
bitter fruits we now experience will teach us the
wisdom of their counsels.
Now, fellow-citizens, the questions discussed
have bearing upon the war. L have not noticed
its expenses, which threaten to engulph your for
tunes for the sacrifice seems necessary; but par
tisan sheets even wish to shield thieves from that
whitening scorn which is the due of men who in
the crisis of the nations fate will rob her Treas
ury; and a partisan press is willing to make the
war itself an instrument of partisan triumph.
Many even desire that the army itself shall be
the instrument for the abolition of slavery and
the triumph of their doctrines, and deluge the
North if not with black laborers with black pau
pers.

You are intelligent, and know that success does
not as much depend on external help as se'f-rei-

If you viii engage in the enterprise l will spend

but we think with care we can succeed. The po-
itica affairs in Central America are not in quite

contending factions in that quarter; but it is true
all the factions are agreed alike on the subject of
colonization, and want it, and are more generous
than we are here. To your colored race they

DIsposition OF the Western FrooPs.
The Chicago 7imes says 1t has intelligence
from Washington that the Government does not
anticipate any necessity for removing Western
troops to the East. and that il expects to employ
them wholly in the Southwest. Thus, Western
troops will fight directly for the preservation OF
sectional interest of immense magnitude, as
well as for the great common cause. They will
fight directly for the unity Of the Valley Of the
Mississippi and Cor the freedom Of the Mississippi
ITSELF Though the Union cause should fail, the
Northwest can never surrender the freedom OF
the Mississippi. But the Union cause cannot
fail, Il the freedom Of the Mississippi be achiev-
ed That achievement viii achieve the Union.

The BATTLE OF BATON RoUGE.-Full details
of the battle of Baton Rouge show it TO have
been one of the most important of the war
Western troops played prominent and impor-
tant part. The engagement was brought on by
one of the companies of the 2lst Indiana, which
was on picket duty about mile back Of the camp,
being driven in by the rebels. The other com
panies of this regiment FASTENED to the rescue,
and though opposed to overwhelming numbers
fought desperately. The New York HerGld's
correspondent says:
The Indiana BOYS performed prOdgies of
valor, and kept the enemy in check for con-
siderable time"
Later in the fight the camp of this regiment
was invaded and burned by the enemy. In the
heat of the contest the hardest brunt of the fight
ing in the center where the 18th Maine and
2lst Indiana fought side by side. The Herald
writer says that a rebel General paid the latter
the handsome compliment of saving that but for
these damned Indanians Baton Rouge would
have been captured.
When the rebels commenced their retreat,
Breckinridge in such a hurry that he left his
sword on the field. Ii is to this circumstance
that the story of bis losing his right arm is at
tributed.
The New York Tfmess correspondent, who
appears to have been one of the prOmi3ent Off
GERS engaged says that one company of the Indi-
regiment, who purchased their arms-the
Morrill, ri1e-with their own mosey, fired be-
tween seventy and eighty rounds each, when in
no case those who used the ordinary arms fred
more than thirty or forty rounds. The day was
intensely hot. and our men fought with the sun
full in their faces, yet ardent were they, that
after the battle began large number Of the
patients in the hospitals got off their beds end
FASTENED 10 the field. Many OF our men assert
that the enemy a preached bearing the stars and
stripes and that il was by this ruse Gen. Williams
lost his life. The enemy, in approaching the
town, avoided our scouts by marching through
the fields instead of along the roads.
On the 9th we commenced burying our dead.
The number is supposed to be about eighty killed
outright, but as they were brought in by friends
and dccently inferred. the number can only be
obtained from the official record. On the 9th
some forty of the enemy we're buried, on the 9Th
about one hundred and seventy. and our scouts
reported that the dead were scattered along the
road for FIVE miles-wOunded men who had died
in their attempt to retreat. The woods were still
to be searched-the Essex may possibly have
made great havoc.

which has operated on business very decidedly.
Refined sugar is sc. lower, but Jaw under the
advices from New York is held with more firm
ness, and is not to be had on as easy terms.
Prices of this grade advanced &c. per pound in
New York during the week. The prices of re-
fined sugar in this market are lower in proper
ton than they are in the East, but our merchants
had bought largely before the advance there last
month, and hence they are enabled 20 sell
at present quotations, and make moderate
profit
There has been no perceptible change in coffee
or molasses.
Beef cattle declined soc per GENITAL with sup
ply far beyond the demand The bulk OF those

active demand for hogs at full prices. Sheep firm
and in good demand.
There has been an improved feeling in the pro-
vision market again, and better demand for
bulk and smoked meats, particularly shoulders
which have been sold TO the extent of 100000
lbs, at 3a314c in bulk, and 3115c for smoked,
loose. At the close it rather difficult to buy
good below 31lc in bulk Common hams are in
good demand at 71sa734c canvased and packed,
and sugar cured at 91Sal0c. With shipping fa-

also, continued good army demand for them.

the close. The demand for butchers lard is ac-
tive, and 7a71sc in bulk, and 711sa755sc in coop
erage, are freely paid. A large quantity is being
made, as heretofore. by rendering the whole hog

Mess pork has not been inquired for, and
prices are nominal, though holders are firmer un-
der the news from New York, where il advanced
from Sll 81 to $ll 62116 yesterday. The rates
asked here range from 50 to 9 80.
Linseed oil is still dull and unsettled; sales
have been made at 75c since our last, but this
rate was nominal at the close. Thers was not
much offering, however. as it pays better to ship
il East than to sell at this rate.
Pig iron has advanced s. per ton, and is sold
sparingly at the advance Bar iron is also &c
