and with the enlightened, as we'll as the
barbarian world. The inscription tells me
that it is an offering from the officers of the
24th Regiment Indiana Volunteers. Let
me assure you, that from 10 source, could
the Gift be half so welcome. Had it been
the offering of friends, or loved ones at
home, should have imputed the act to
their friendship or affection, or as being
prompted by some memory of bygone days.
But not so with the brave and well tried
officers of the Gath, who have known me
only in the tented field, where friendship
and affection are often rooted out by the
stern necessities of duty. You are pleased
to say that this sword is presented as an
endorsement of my military career. This
assertion is more flattering than the gift,
for of all men, the officers of the Gath know
me best. You enjoin upon me to use it, in
the cause of liberty, and in the defense OF
the Constitution. No nobler task could be
imposed. My ancestors fought for that
liberty, that Union, and sustained that Con-
stitution, and | trust that neither |, nor any
one who claims their lineage through me,
will be base enough to forget the obliga-
tions we owe to his kindred and country.
"Disunion The separation of this noble
| government No wilder halIucinatiOn
ever entered madman's brain. AS well
| might you sever the human body, and tie
| the arteries to preserve life, in the dismem-
bered parts. No. Liberty, religion, human
| progress and commerce imperatively de-
mand our unity, and it will be fought TO
| tEat conclusion, though our smiling land
| should become a bowling wilderness"
and only wreck of this generation should
| be left behind. Our ancestors, by the adUp-
| ton CT our Constitution, made the expert
ment, to test whether man was capable Of
| self government" and it devolves upon the
| Union men of this generation to sustain the
! test or admit the imbeciIity of the human
race. If that Constitution, framed by the
| purest patriots that ever honored his vile
earth with their presence, must fail, then
| therH is no use to try any new tangled sys-
tenn, fer liberty has fed, aristocracy must
| triumph and m 0Earchs rule this land.
| Let me say in conclusion, that this splen-
| did sword shall never be dishonored by me,
! but shall be cherished to the latest hour of
my life, and if circumstances will admit, it
/ shall descend as a proud heirloom to my
| boy, under the solemn injunction, that with
| it, he shall support the Constitution and
! uphold the Union of these States"
The sword is a magnificent present and
a most hattering testimonial of the esteem
! of the donors for the General. The scene OF
the presentation was quite animating and
the party broke up at late hour after hav-
| ing partaken of the excellent entertainment
provided for them

REEDsBURG, WISCONSIN, !

EDITORS JOURNAL If you were here in
Wisconsin you would not be signing for
lodge in some vast wilderness " in order to
avoid the heat, but would, as we have done
most of the time during the ten days we
have been here, enjoy sitting by good fire.
Yesterday morning, for change, We had
huge white frost. Such thing at this
season of the year, however, is by no means
common here, and I hope the crops-which
are, as a general thing, looking finely
may not be seriously injured by this I'M
here SOW nearly all their wheat in the
spring, consequently their harvest time is
in August. Strawberry season is just com
mencing here, and that kind of fruit is
abundant In this vicinity. The people here
are largely interested in our army. A
great many in proportion to the population
have gone to battle for the dear old flag
From this cOunty-with a population of
about nineteen thousand-between 1900
and 1900 have volunteered and are now in
the service, and from this town-whch
contains only about twelve hundred inhah-
itants, and only two hundred and fifty to
three hundred voters-about 100 have gone
to the war. | don't think our own county
can beat that.
This town is about sixteen miles from the
Lacrosse and Milwaukee Railroad, but we
have daily mail, and get the Milwaukee
Sentinel the next day after it is published,
so that we keep toleraby well posted with
regard to the progress of the war, which
seems to have been very moderate lately
The Journal, too, gets along about the fourth
day after it is printed, and is very welcome.
For want Of anything interesting and
with best wishes, close, and remain
Yours, respectfully,

Too much Powder.

EDITORS JOURNAL The attention of the
Surveyor of this port is respectfully called
to the large quantities of powder, lead, &C.
that is almost daily being sold by our mer-
chants and shipped into South western and
Southern Kentucky. i do not know what
the instructions from Washington are in
regard to stopping ammunition from going
into Kentucky, but whatever they are, it
does seem that we should be very guarded
in permitting such articles to go into dis
tricts of doubtful loyalty. We should be
fully satisfied that the persons into whose
hands it goes are reliable, unconditional
Union men; and even then it is not very
safe unless they are sufficiently strong to
resist any Guerrilla forces, otherwise it may
be captured and be used in shooting down
the friends of the Government.
noticed, the other day, nine or ten kegs
of powder shipped by a single grocery
house for two or three localities in Ken
lucky. The proportion of powder that
ought to have been bought for legitimate
purposes, would probably nave been half a
keg to each place, taking into consideration
The feelings of the people in the portion of
Kentucky south of Green River are far from
being loyal, aud bands are being organized
expressly to rob and plumber Union men
aud do all the harm they can.
There is no doubt but a large portion of
this very powder will be used in shooting
down loyal men, and soldiers and friends
of the Government engaged in executing
and enforcing the laws, as was the case at
| Henderson some days ago. Some of it may
be used in raid upon this city.
If this powder and lead is intended for
undoubted Union men-men who can and
will stand up for the Government, and de-
| fend themselves against armed outlaws
all may be right, but if there is no other
evidence furnished of their loyalty than the
mere assertion that they are Union men,
| (for we have such in our city,, it should
| not be allowed to go under any considera-
| ton whatever until the authorities of Ken
lucky do their duty and punish all Violators
of the laws.

The rumors of the capture of some l25
or more wagons loaded with supplies for
the Federal army for Corinth or some point
East Of this city, were current on the street
yesterday, and, we believe, is very generally
credited. The train on the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad, beyond Germantow o.
was run off the track and destroyed by the
Confederates. This and the wagon-train
captured, is attributed TO Col. Jackson's
cavalry forces. We were informed by q
Federal officer that the rumors were untrue
aid upon his authority we pronounced them
unfounded, in our last issue. We now in
cline to believe, from all that we can learn
that the destruction of the railroad train
and the capture of the Federal wagons, as
stated on the streets, on yesterday, are both
true.
Rumors are rife of an engagement on
White river, between Col. Fitch's and Gen
Hindman's forces We have no fixed opin-
-~saEu UUCrO uIHUT5.
The statements in the Northern papers OF
the capture of Gen. Hindman is incorrect.
He was at Little Rock on the goth instant,
making vigorous efforts for the war He
has, according to she most reliable informa-
ton to be obtained by us, an army of some
$4,000, and some estimate it at 10000.
VIcksburg is still holding out, and pre-
pairing the largest sacrifices before yielding
up the Mississippi river. Letters read by
US from Grenada, of late date, express
confidence that the Confederates expect to
retake Memphis at an early day. Memphis

All the information we receive from
Memphis indicates that the people there are
in distress We have conversed with sever
al gentlemen from that city, who represent
that matters could hardly be worse. The
people have no money, have no means of
paying old liabilities, and the poor have no
means of support. A correspondent of the
Louisville Journal speaks in melancholy
terms of the general distress. We copy
paragraph from his letter:
But let the most lenient policy prevail,
this place and this general section is in
depl0rable condition. When it became cer-
tain that the Confederates had to abandon
this section of the country, the authorities
commenced system Of plumber that was
outrageous. On the plea of necessity to
sustain their army, they took meat at their
own price, and paid for it in Confederate
scrip, frequently allowing the merchant two
to five cents less than he paid for it the dav
before. The authorities seized here over
ten thousand hogsheads OF sugar, and as
many barrels of molasses, for which they
dad not even pay scrip, but simply gave
receipt at a valuation of so per cent. below
the market price. All this could have been
stood, bat for the burning of the cotton
here and all over the country surrounding.
This was the browning act of infamy, and
the act which reduces this entire section to
ruin almost irretrieVably. We can pay no
debts; we can enter into no trades or spec

ED1roRs JOURNAL: By a resolution
adopted at the June meeting of the Wander
burgh Agricultural and Horticultural So
ciety, the undersigned was authorized to
announce the time and place for holding the
annual Fair for this county.
Upon reflection, however, I chose to defer
this announcement until a joint meeting of
the Agricultural Society, and the Trustees
of the Land Associstion-who control the
Fair Grounds-could be had.
therefore propose that both associations
together with all the citizens of the county
who feel an interest IN the subject, meet at
the Court House in Evansville on Saturday,
July 5th, at o'clock P. NJ, for the purpose
of concentrating some arrangement by
which our county fairs shall be revived and
sustained, in q manner both creditable and
serviceable to our community.
A conference meeting of the character in
Dictated by the two associations is certainly
important at this crisis of affairs. as no plan
having the elements of permanency can be
adopted withOu: it,

result.
