WIN. r HoLLowAY-Thisg gentleman is
the subject Of unbounded praise by al Wis
itors to the late battle field and by the woun
ded soldiers who are indebted TO his kind
offices for immedists attention on The battle
field and for speedy return TO their homes.
The editor of the Lafayette Journal. in a let
ter from the Field Of Shiloh, says
All of the Indiana wounded have been
taken to the river towns. l am told. 1t is
gratifying to see the thankfulness of our In.
diana soldiers for the promp,ness and kind
ness with which they have been attended.
There are many and loud complaints from
other States. / have heard many regret
that they had not enlisted as Indiana sol
diers. Secretary Holloway has visited ev-
cry Indiana Regiment and personally inspco-
ted their condition. l have been astonished
at his energy and efficiency 10 this business
Considerable opposition was made by GER
tain red tape officials at Savannah TO the re
moval Of some sick and wounded Indiauiars
at that place. His manner of cutting red
tape was refreshing. AT a meeting Of the
surgeons and volunteer assistants on board
the Charley Bowen. the following well de
served resolution was unanimously adopted.
RESOLVED. that the thanks Of this meeting
be and are thendered to Col. Holloway for
his many courtesies on this expedition; We
recognize in him the right man in the RICH,
place-one who by his general urbanity ano
untiring energy has proven his peculiar fit
ness for the discharge Of the delicate anG
important duties that have been imposed
upon him by the Executive of Indiana.

A few days ago we partially con firmed
in these columns certain reports alluded TO
by q contemporary rejecting upon the off.
cial fidelity Of Mr.. Smith. Secretary of the
Interior. We did this in the full belief that
certain statements made to US some time
ago were to be fully relied upon. A strong
censure directed at the Commercial Adver-
,iscr by Washington contemporary of
high character. awakened suspicion that we
had been deceived and had been guilty of
= wrong to the Secretary. while we suppos-
cd we were only discharging a public duty.
We thcreupon instituted inquiries which
have made suspicion certainty. In accord
ance. therefore, with the principles which
have always guided our editorial course
never Intentionally TO commit wrong, and
II we commit one Inadvertently to acknowl.
edge It fully aud reetiiy it thoroughly-we
withdraw our unfavorable comments upon
tho oiicial conduct Of the Secretary of the
Interior as entirely unmerited on his part.
And We do this the more cheerfully, as in
the course OF our inquiries we have learned
that Mr.. Smith is held in the highest per-
sonal and official estimation by his col
leagues in the Cabinet and by the Prssi-
dent.

York Contemporary. We will take occasion 10
remark that the charge referred to implica.
