the legislative action of that body the Pc
culiar dogmas of that party, have demon
strated that their professions of tssacrifcing
party platforms, and party organizations,
upon the altar of their country" are but
so many hypocritical and false pretences by
which they hope to dupe the unwary into
their support and we warn all loyal per-
sons, as they love their country, not to be
deceived thereby.
16. That the disclosures made by the in
vestigating committee in Congress of the
enormous frauds thst have stalked into the
army and navy departments, duplicating
the heads of those departments in con-
nivance at, if not an actual participation in
system of corruption, and in which our
brave soldiers have been defruaded of their
proper supplies, and one government
threatened with bankruptcy, demands a
thorough Investigation into all our expendi-
lures, both State and National, and that a
speedy and marked example be made Of a
such "birds of prey" who, taking advan-
tage Of the necessities of our country, nave
fed and fattened upon public plumber. IS
/ II. That the meritorious conduct of the
Indiana troops, in every battlefield where
victory has perched upon the national ban
ner, has filed the people of that State with
| the highest gratitude to her gallant sons
and that we send our best wishes to officer,
I and men, dispersed throughout the country
and the heartfelt greetings of every Demo
/ crat for their further brilliant achievement
in the coming contests for the maintenance
of the Constitution and the Union.

A smuggIer ORugR1t -235 900 nee~
dies at the Surveyors Office.
Mr.. Simonson, Deputy Surveyor at Prince
ton, arrived here Thursday night, having
in custody a New Yorker-an Israelite-
who was vending his way to the Sunny do.
minions Of JEFF Davis, and who, to avoid
the excitement incident to . passage through
this city, disembarked from the cars at
Princeton, and secured carriage to take
him to Mt Vernon. mr.. Simonson took
the liberty Of opening the gents trunks,
much TO the smuggler's dissatisfaction, AID
found therein large and valuable assort-
ment" of needles and linen thread, and
letters addressed to parties in the South.
Mr.. Simonson at once took the I5raelite and
his baggage into his custody, and delivered
both to the Surveyor of this port
The trunks contained 235,0 needles,
which in all probability will never reach The
destination designed for them. The contra
band dealer, after paying all the expenses of
his arrest, was released and leaves for New
/ York this morning to lay in another supply
of goods for the Southern markell =
Mr.. Simonson says that five other persons
falso left the. cars atthat. pint Wednesday
and went to Mt. Vernon en- route to Nash
vile. Aaexaminationo of their trunks was
made and nothing contraband was dis
covered. They doubtless carried with them,
concealed on their persons, valuable docu-
ments- Mr. 5. says that since Il has become
known a Depoty Surveyor was stationed al
Princeton, the slnugglers get of the cars al
way statons above, Cross to Nc. Carmel and
d7then go to the OHIO river. -. 49,

Hospital wants.

EDS. JOURNAL: In your paper of yester-
day, You say We are requested to state
that old sheets aud pillow-eases viii be
gratefully received by the Surgeon of the
General Hospital" pE
In the same paper find an advertisement
of the Surveyor ofCustoms, saying THAT on
the 14th of this mooth, he will sell, at the
Marine Hospital, divers and sundries. being
The furniture of said Hospital ; and among
other things enumerated, are 12s pillows,
200 pillow-cases, 105 bed sheets, and a va
riety of all the necessaries wanted by the
IS Surgeon of the General Hospitaf.2s ~ 3
Now, wish to inquire whether it would
not be as we'll for the Government to sup
ply the General Hospital with the necessa-
ries required for the comfort of The soldiers
from the stores OF the Marine Hospital, in
stead of putting them up for sale and teav-
ing the sick defenders of the country to the
charity of our citizens.
Il strikes me that it would be, not only
as well, but great deal better.
JUSTICE.

BE- Cincinnati, Chicago, Rock Island
Indianapolis, Springfield, and many other
cities are petitioning and memorializing
Congress for the location of Western
branch Of the National Army. We have
read the reasons assigned by the various
places why the armory should be located
within their respective limits, and we have
seen none advanced which would not apply
with equal force TO oar own city, except
the argument of size. Cincinnati claims
the coveted location on the ground that she
is bigger than any of the other applicants.
She might with the same propriety CLAIM 1t
because sLe slaughtered more hogs than any
Of her competitors. If any difficulty arises
in deciding between the conflicting claims,
we respectfully suggest Evansville as COM
promise Candidate.

DISTRESSING AccIDENT.-We are panied
to learn that Charles Hoyey, brother of
Col. Hovey of Mt. Vernon, was terrible. man
gled and seriously, if not fatally injured by
the premature discharge of q cannon, on
Wednesday last. A gun squad in Mt Yer
non was firing salute, in hohofcfthe day
the slh of January-and Mr. Hovey was
engaged in ramming down the charge, when
the man who had his thumb on the vent
allowed the air to enter the piece. An ex-
plosion instantly stook place, athe hammer
carrying away both of Hovey's arms below
the elbows and Otherwise injuring him
When our informant left, preparations were
being made to ampntate the stumps. The
eyes of the unfortunate man we're also in
jured and he will probably lose his sight
The man who was holding the vent did
not have on humber" to protect his
thumb, and the accident may be attributed
to this oversight. Mr.. Hovey leaves fam
liz to mourn over the sad casualty which
has made a wreck of the husband and faith.
er to whom they looked for support and
guidance. A gentleman who was present
informs US that the shrieks of the unhappy
wife whea she looked upon the mutllated
body of her husband were heart-rending
and brought tears tc the eyes of the most
steical bystanders.

R@s Ex-Secretsry of War, Floyd, does
nothing by halves. Whether it be stealing
or lying he is always competent for the oc-
casion. His proclamation TO his soldiers in
Western Virginia, recounting the many
wonderful things they performed, is as COM
plete a success in the art of lying as was
his seizure of all she government arms in
the department of stealing. Floyd is now
at Bowling Green. Of course all the silver
spoons in the city have been put under lock

B@. The case of Col. Hazard, ofthe sTth
regiment of Indiana volunteers, is but an
additional evidence Of the total unftness of
many regular army officers to take charge
of and control volunteers. ASS Lieutenant
in the United States regular army, Colonel
Hazard was regarded as most estimable
gentleman, and the 37th regiment was con-
sidered especially fortunate in securing so
experienced an officer for its Colonel. But
communications in the Cincinnati Gazette
and Commercial, show him to be six-by-
nine Nero. His men were treated worse
than dogs, and others who interested them
selves in behalf of his suffering soldiers
were insulted in the grossest manner. The
murder of six men in one day brought his
outrages to head, and resulted in the in
reference OF DIR. Blackmap, of Cincinnati,
Brigade Surgeon, ending in the arrest of
Col. Hazard by his commanding officers,
Generals Turchin and Mitchell
The Colonel Of the 9th Indiana is not
the only case where regular army officer
has proven failure in managing volunteers.
A gentleman, who knows whereof he speaks,
told US, the other day, that at least fifty
men in one regiment in Missouri, were
murdered by unnecessary labor on picket
and guard duty, imposed on them by a
Brigadier General who was "of the regu-
lars" Unless something more brillian
than anything yet come to light, is done by
West Pointers, the people will conclude t hat
the Institution is humbug, and not worth
the money spent upon it. Not a single officer
Of unusual genius and brilliancy, has ever
graduated there, to our knowledge, and the
most skiliful- of our military chieftains were
men who never saw the institution as ca
diets. Great Generals cannot be made by
aay particular course ofstudy or discipline,
any more than great poets, and the country
has committed a great biuuder in rushing
to the conclusion that because an officer has
been to West Point, that therefore be can
make no mistakes.

&C. The scorching speech Of. Mr.. Conk-'
ling Of New York in the House or Repre-
sentatives IN relation to the responsibility
for the Balls Bluff disaster, is move Ia
the right direction. Tbs promptness with
which the House passed his resolution is
also quite encouraging In 1t we see dis
position on the part OF the peoples repre-
sentatives to call some one to account for
that most terrible disaster of the war. The
blood of thousands of noble men is crying
from the ground, and the people have been
too often hoodwinked, by the cry "you
mustn't endanger the public service, by in
curing into the past" We think with Mr..
Cooking, that Major General MeOiellan's
reply TO the resolution of the House was in
exceedingly bad taste, and we rejoice at
the prompt manner In which that body
called the attention oftheir mflitary servant
to this fact. When several swindling con-
tractors and Quartermasters are shot and
incompetent officers cashiere5, We may
expect our armies to become efficient and
not before. When was ever resistance
more heroic than at Balls Bluff, and when
was it ever more unavailing and suicidal
The disgrace of Bull Run had to be eradi-
Gated, and it was in the blood Of the noblest
young men of Boston, New York and Phil
adelphia. We hope the matter viii be
thoroughly sifted and ventilated and the
guilty party promptly exposed.
