TIE SOLDIERS on THE PAY ROLLS AND THOSE
IN SERylcg-Secretary Cameron in his report
10 Congress, stated that there were over SIX
hundred thousand soldiers in the service of the
governments. There is no question that the
pay rolls exhibited that number. when, in
reality. there were only about five hundred
thousand actually in the service. This dis
crepancy is now said to be accounted for from
the fact that the paymasters returned lists OF
the different regiments with their full quota Of
men. when, in fact, many of them fell two and
three hundred short The money for the pay
ment, according to the lists returned, was
drawn from the government. The public can
draw their own inference as to the disposition
Of the surplus, or the amount drawn for the
two or three hundred men over and above
those actually in the regiments Here b An.
other important item in the cost Of the war,
and an additional chapter on the swindling
operations that have been carried on. Ii there
not some way by which these paymasters and
their accomplices. whoever they are, can be
made 10 disgorge their fraudulent gains and 70
turn them to the Treasury?

The REBELS IN THE SouTHwEsT.-It is re
ported that Beauregard is gathering up the
loose ends Of his Western army at Chattanooga
Tennessee, to head off General Buell.; that the
rebel guerillas Of Kentucky threaten to take
frankfort, the State capital; that the rebel
General Hindman, with large force, is close
upon tho track Of General Curtis. in Arkansas
that large numbers OF rebel steamboats, and
transports, worth several millions of dollars
are away up tho Yazoo river; ard that the
rebel General Van Dorm, with his army Of ten
thousand men, though he has not taken Baton
Rouge, intends to do so the moment after our
gunboats are driven away from Vicksburg. in
fact, the rebels are trying all sorts Of raids and
rumors in the Southwest to divert our govern
ment from the one great object of the rebel
army of Richmond upon which the life or
death Of this rebellion depends. General Hal.
leck, however. has doubtless fully posted the
War Office upon all these ruses Of the enemy.

A SILENT AGENT OF MoRrALITy-F

A SILENT AGENT OF MoRTALITY.-RE-

thence aud famine are looked upon as the
most dire calamities to which humanity is
subject; yet there is silent agent ct work
among US, Staying by night and BY day,
whose victims are scarcely less numerous.
The scourge to which we refer is the NAL
treatment of disease. That thousands of
human beings annually drug themselves to
death, or are drugged to death by Others,
is fact that no one will have the temerity
to deny. The question is, cannot this evil
be obviatedP Are there not remedies "a
existence competent to the cure of nearly
all the internal and superficial waladies TO
WAY, certainly one of the foremost physi-
clans of onr age, claims to have originated
two preparations, Pill and an Ointment,
which strike directly at the germs of dis
ease in the blood and other animal fluids,
and obliterate them. How shall we test the
truth of this claim IF we call for evidence
We find that the witnesses in favor of The
remedies are 8" a multitude that no man
can number" They are of all countries
an races. The Chinese, the wslays, the
South American Indians, the red men of
our own territories, join with the civilized
world in according to these medicines most
extraordinary curative properties. We see
not how such testimony can be considered
other than conclusive, on any logical prin-
ciple. The immense consumption of the
Pills and Ointment in all parts of the world
cannot be questioned. Wherever any pro-
duct of civilization is sold, they are sold !:
and wherever they have been introduced,
they have become staple. These are
truths; we leave the reader to make his

[From the Memphis Union Appeal. August 10. ]
Day before yesterday, on White river,
near Clarendon, an engagement took place
between the division of General Hovey,
consisting of six regiments of infantry and
eight regiments of cavalry, and part OF
Hindman's force which had been sent for
ward IRON Little Rock to check the adj
vance of the Union army. The battle ragged
some time with destructive results.
The 18th Indiana regiment lost seven
men killed how many fell in the other
regiments engaged we have not been in

defeat and rout of Hindman's men, and
the capture of seven hundred prisoners.
Gen. Hovey managed his men with great
skill and courage. He has furnished ample

We regret exceedingly to learn that this
gallant young officer, the efficient and
faithful aid of General Veatch, came to his
death near the city of Memphis, in an ex-
ceedingly melancholy manner. he was
shot by sentinel for neglecting to give the
countersign when challenged, and falling
from his horse, expired almost instantane-
ously. II seems that Bruner and the Cap
tain Of the guard had been chafering with
each other about tie countersign, Bruner
desiring to obtain it from the Captain
Failing to do this, he started to ride off
without it. When he was about 90 y rds
off, the Captain directed the sentinel to FIRE,
whether in spirit Of fun or seriously, we
did not ascertain. The sentinel obeyed the
order aud put ball directly through the
body of the Lieutenant, causing him to fall
from his horse corpse. zi.seszn51 l.oz
Lieut.. Bruner was a resident of Posey
county, we believe, and originally enlisted
in Capt. Larkin's company. He was man
of considerable natural ability, and had re-
eeived an excellent education. He was
with Gen. Veatch all through the Missouri
campaign, and on the bloody Geld of Shi-
lob transmitted that officers commands
with GOODNESS and steadiness that attract
ed the admiration of all who saw him. he
was lively, genial companion, and W.

is not, perhaps, aware that there is hut one
rendezvous and camp of instruction estab-
lshed ia this State by the War Depart
ment and that is Indianapolis. The Quar-
ternaster's and Ordinance stores, arms,
clothing, and equipments are all here, and
as the regiments have necessarily to be
brought here for transfer to the field when
ready, the paying double transportation
would be an exceedingly sensless proceed
ing The Indiana troops will probably all
be sent to the field eastward from 3ere,
or in Kentucky via Louisville and the Jour-
nal must see that however advantageous il
might be to localities to have troops kept
there and pa their advance pay to be dis
tributed among their people at home, the
operation would be an expensive one to the
