Jesse D, Bright, Of Indiana, was upon tile
floor Of tue Senate Of the United States yes
terday, talking Of his loyalty and the wrong
that was done him by the newspapers Every
one who knows the history Of this man i
aTare that he is identified, by his public
record and his personal sympathies, with the
band Of Senators who have for years made the
Senate Chamber den Of conspirators against
the unity and peace Of the Republic. That he is
personally and politicalya 1 disgrace to the 10y
ii and martial State Of Indiana, Is proposition
that cannot be doubted by any well Informed
man. While the poorest spirited of syco-
plants to his masters, ROW at Richmond, he is
not wanting III sort OF bovine courage; and
not only has he the assurance to lift his head
In the Senate, but he is intruding himself upon
the politics Of his State, and hoping to use the
Democratic party to secure a reelection.
While the loyal men Of Indiana have been,
without distinction Of party, engaged in the
support Of the Government, he has been at
his old work with the caucus machinery, and
securing the services Of the Democratic cen
trail organ Of the State, has been engaged in
an effort to take possession Of the Democratic
party by controlling the Convention which
assemblies in Indianapolis to-day. That he is
detcstcd by tbrec-fourths Of the Democracy Of
lndiana is fact abundantly attested, but the
caucus system gives the advantage to tile ma
ignants whose activity is greatest while hon
est men are off their guard. The people of
Indiana will, however, repudiate him and his,
upon al opportunities. Cincinnati; Goau,aer-

In the Confederate Court, at Knoxville, on
Friday, aoZc f,1oeequf was entered in the case
Of Parson Brownlow, on the ground that he
had surrendered himself voluntarily, on con-
ditfon that the Government would agree to
convey him out Of East Tennessee, and pro-
teet his exit. The Knoxville Ry;sser remarks
on the arrest as follows:
"Whether Brownlow was well enough to
leave the Jail last night, or what has become
Of him, We have not learned though we un-
derstand it WAS the intention OF the COM
mander Of the post to hold him under arrest,
with view to his safe conduct beyond the
lines.
'sThc Indignation of the soldiers here, upon
hearing Of bis release, we understand to hare
been intense. What may follow we cannot
conjecture, though We presume the military
authorities will sec that he is protected and
be abic to cooperate with johnson and May
nard."

and we are glad 10 admit again, as we have
before: that despite all that has been said
derogatory Of Pennsylvania, she has fur
nished probably largcr number of men
than any other State, and means in proper
tiou. Gov: Morgan, OF New York, reports
thai his State has $4,000 men in the field,
and 1850 in camp; and that including
three months men she has furnished 12O,-
oo0. Gov. Curtin represents that Pcnnsyl-
vania has $1,000 men in the field, 10,500 in
camp: and including three months men
has furnished 124, 900. The figures Of either
State represent an army larger than was
contemplated by the first or second pro-
clamation Of the President.

passed from one to another, until every NM
in camp caught the strain, and the mass en-
tered into one general hurrah for Lane. The
dened the hearts Of the soldiers rs the early
streaks Of dawning day cheers the weary aud
lost traveller.
The response was so universal TINT it was
deemed advisable to hold meeting, at which
the men could give vent to their feelings Of
gratitude. The soldiers and citizens were
called together By order Of Major Clark The
Major congratulated the men upon the ap-
pointment Of their choice at their head. 1t
was proper, for the people Of Kansas demand
ed 1.-THE soldiers demanded 1t: the uatioz
owed it to Gen Lane. After i few brief and
appropriate remarks from the Major, Captain
Killen introduced the following resolutions:
WHEREAs, From considerations Of policy, tho
exigency demanded that new Military Depart
mcnt be created for the West. and as Kansas has
furnished the major part Of all the troops for said
Division; therefore,
Re*xred, That in the opinion Of this Battalion,
the President has manifested wisdom in the ap-
polntment Of James Il. Lane as Major General Of
Resc,red. That in Gen. Lane VIC recognize the
leader by nature-and we will follow him in restot-
pe.lEE 10 0uT U1stIHEteH at HQateYef
cost OF blood and treasure,
Reso1red That this Batta1Ion will never 1ay down
arms until every invading foe is driven from the
State.
Reso{eed, That our country shall be freed from
rebel influence, aud the Stars and Stripes shall
wave trinmphantly oyeE every foot Of soil Of our
beloved country.
The resolutions were received with deafen~
ing cheers. Three cheers were given Jim
Lane and the Kansas troops.
Capt. Morton, Of Butler county, was intro
duced to the soldiers. He entertained them
with that good old song, the :" Star Spangled
Banner Three cheers were given for Nor
ton and his brave band, who, In the midst of
want and privation, are maufully sustaining
their rights upon tile extreme southwest.
The Captain spoke to us in his usual felici-
tous style giving words Of comfort and cheer.
He told the boys they might be assured that
in Gen. Lane they had friend q Lenders
General; that they were in good cause, sus-
tanned by the best men in the Government.

that they were equal to it-that Kansas boys
