DEAR W1LI.-Thank God, l am not

dared to do for more than = week. The.

Of my unfortunate audience will have rea1;
son to date sad memories back to that
time. After spending some days IT Dr.: C's
l started homewards, and spent four days
at Milton, visiting Joseph Goodrich, the
inventor of Concrete Walls. He has
large hotel and block of stores, . school
room and outhouses built Of concrete, and
with his hammer gave me ocular demon
stration that pebble bedded in one Of
these walls will break before coming out.

our plastering. Our plasterers say it is
the fault Of the lime that our ,plasterine il

hard plaster it would not make concrete !;
but the 1plasterihg in Wisconsin appears
no better than oars, and in Mr. Goodrich :

ceilings. Yet the concrete walls made
Of the same lime are hard as granite
rock, and as the concrete is made one bush

even one to twenty, without making any
perceptible difference in the hardness Of

of the school arrangements for the coming

a system of graded schools will be contin-

schools will commence in September. and
remain in session nine months, with the ne

scholarships will be sold at the following
prices.

personal abuse, they become contemplate.

will be taken to select such teachers as are

Indianapolis, July 2lst 1862.
The military spirit is rapidly on the in
crease. and our streets are filled with new
recruits. who are hourly reporting TO the
Adjutans General. Yesterday the State
House Square presented very lively ap-
pearance. Groups of soldiers, might be
seen laying under tie trees, resting them
selves after their weary march through The
hot sun, while the halls Of the State House
were filed with officers awaiting their
chance to obtain an interview with tie
Governor. and Adjutant General. All the
morning. quariermasters and commissar@
stores were being distributed 10 the rear of
the State House previous to the departure Of
tie troops. Most of these troops were rep
resented from Decatur and Shelby coun-
ties, and in the afternoon the men we're sd
dressed by Governor Morton, and Colonies

were marched to the Terre Haute Depot
and departed for Evansville, amid ! I'D

Governor Morton received authority. day
before yesterday, to raise Cavalry regi-
ment, and the programme of organization
will at once be made public, by Gen. No.
bic. The arms, and equipments of this
regiment are already ordered. and a larg.
number OF Austrian muskets will be ready
in a few days for the Infantry. Favorable
reports are coming in hourly from all parts
of the country, and Indiana will have DO
difficulty in raising her quota from present
appearances.

just arrived from Lafayette and will at OF ce
