ARRIVAL OF SICK SoLDIERs.-Early Sat-
urday morning the steamer Citizen arrived
at this port, having on board some 200
sick soldiers. brought from Pittsburg Land
ing and Hamburg. When leaving Pitts
burg Landing the Citizen was placed under
charge Of the ReY. Heath, late Chaplain of
the 3lst Regiment. Drs. Morgan and Da-
Wis, Of Terre Haute, were the medical Di-
rectors. Nearly all the soldiers will be
furloughed and sent home, but few being 30
sick as to render it necessary for them to
remain in Hospital.
Among the sick we were sorry to find
Capt. J. W. Stewart of the I'd Indiana cav
airy, who is greatly reduced by that
scourge of our camps in Tennessee, the
diarrhea. There were numerous other off,
GERS more or less sick.

Return OF the steamer citizen from
Pittsburg Landing.

Pittsburg Landing.
MAY 18th, 1882 g
Ar. Editor On the 18th, Governor
Morton and General Noble with full sup
ply of sanitary stores and some twenty
nurses and surgeons, left this city for Pitts
burg Landing, to look after the sick and
wounded soldiers from Indiana.
We arrived at the Landing on Wednesday
morning and Immediately entered upon our
work, so that by nine o'clock in the even
ing of the same day, we had all the sick at
Pittsburg and Hamburg, four miles above
on board in all about one hundred and
seventy, and were ready to start back, but
remained until the next morning, waiting
the return Of the Governor from head
quarters. At llc'rlock Thursday, we part
cd with the G jvcrnor and started on our re-
turn to this city. We found few sick at
point below Pittsburg. We landed in
Evansville at six o'clock this morning. /
send yon a list of the sick on board. The
Governor having put me in charge of the
boat feel it my duty and but justice to say
that all were ready and willing to do their
duty, and we had very pleasant and quick
trip. must make special mention of Drs.
Morgan and Davis, Surgeons of the boat;
They were very attentive to the wants O.
the sick and proved themselves in every re-
spect worthy the confidence reposed in them
BY the Governor. This is the second trip
these worthy gentlemen have made, they
are both of Terre Haute. I would make
mention of Messrs. Norton, Tileston,
Gilbert, Bedford and Prichard of yonr city;
men that never get weary while there is
anything to be done for the relief of the
sick, in fact may say the same for all.
We found the Captain and all the officers OF
the Citizen to be gentlemen. as all will
find them to IL who travel with them. The
Citizen will start back to Pittsburg Land
ing this evening or in the morning.

RG We have noticed that the Vineenues
San, and other secession sheets, quote the
following paragraph from the Henderson
Nail relating to The secession victory at
the recent election in that city, with In
finite quote:
"Twelve months ago we had in this coun-
ty a majority of about five hundred in favor
of the Union and the Constitution. That
majority has been FILTERED away. We have
in cur minds eye many men who prefer
secession and its consequences to the tam
pering of Congress and the President with
slavery. They construct every act of Con-
gress and the President touching slavery to
mean abolition of slavery per Sc Verify,
it looks that way"
The Henderson Mail failed to comprehend
the election in Kentucky, in which it as
serts that Henderson county gave 500 ma
jority for the Union and the Constitution
That 500 majority was in favor OF Kentucky
neutrality. A neutrality that would enable
the patriot citizens of the county to sell
their corn and hogs to the rebels and their
tobacco to the loyal states, as many of those
I" in favor of the Union and Constitution"
did. The Union orators who canvassed the
State were afraid to meet the issue squarely
as impolitic. Their doctrine of neutrality
was semi-secession, and was supported by
many Kentucky rebels, because they con-
sidered half loaf better than no bread,
and because it was profitable for them to
do SO.
This hue and cry about abolition is
humbug, and the Mail virtually admits it
when it says it has in its minds eye, many
persons who eonst8e every act of Con-
gress and the President, touching slavery
to mean abolition of slavery per Sc. Being
rebels at heart, of course they construe every
measure calculated to injure their friends
and put down the rebellion, so as to inter-
fere most with the successful accomplish
ment of the governments designs, When
such patriots as Johnson, Maynard and
Etheridge, of Tennessee, and Metealfe of
Kentucky, have no fears of the intentions
of the Government concerning the institu-
ton of slavery, we see no reason for the
Union men of Henderson to borrow trouble
on that point. =

The reconnoisanee Of yesterday, if it

the rebel entertainments are insulated by an
extensive swamp country which can be
bridged by corduroy, but which cannot
