From the Cincinnati Daily Times
sympathy with the Rebels.

Not few people in the North are known
to sympa,hize with the Rebels. and the
same feeling is being constantly manifested
by certain journals in the Northern States
OF these editorial sympathizers no Northern
State has had greater share than our
noble sister State. Indiana. Nearly the
whole Democrats press of the State. under
the leadership Of the indianapolis Sentinel,
and the influence of such politicians as
Bright, seems to have been prostitnted TO
that end. Their sympathy for the Rebel
cause is neither bold. manly nor honorable.
but exhibits itself in mean. sneaking style
of warfare. lauding Rebellion o. tinoo, and
never missing an opportunity to assail those
who are defending the Union, in the forum
or the field.
The indianapolis Sentinel yelps, and all
the small newspaper dogs are set to bark
Jog Whatever it says, they all say; ard
read the Sentinel. you read all. AS to its
feelings and sentiments, there can be no
doubt, and if there were any, its issue of
last Monday will satisfy aIy reasonable man
most fully as to where its sympathies lie.
For two days previous the prisoners taken
f, had been pouring into indianapolis. and
much Of the space OF the Sentinel is taken
up with descriptions Of the scenes incident
4 thereto. and comments thereon. 1t is there
we find The devils foot, as well as his head
and tail, and, to better demonstrate it, we
make a lew extracts from the columns of the
Sentinel. Speaking Of the appearance of
the prisoners, it says:
| Or the appearance Of these prisoners we
can only say that considering what they
had gone through, it was NJ ch better than
could have been expected. They were not
uniformed, apparently being men who had.

How careful to convey the impression

given to understand. that their misguided

Just below, the Sentinel grows more pa
theic. Speaking of the arrival of some
Mississippians. it says:

That. we venture to assert. is manu-
rac,ured item. We doubt, il there is a wo
