tally unexpected in this city. The wound
which has proved mortal was understood
to have been slight, and Col Ellets resto-
ration to health, and the duties of his COM
mand, was looked for with confidence. His
loss at this time, is serious one. Colonel
Ellet was one of the most distinguished
civil engineers in the country. 1t will be
remembered that he built the great suspen
sion bridge over the Ohio, at Wheeling, and
also the first suspension bridge at Niagara
Falls. These structures will ever remain
monuments of his genius.
Quite a number of years ago Col. Ellet
called the attention of the Navy Depart
ment to the subject of steam rams for naval
defense. Successive Secretaries were ap-
pealed to upon the subject, but without
avail. At the very outbreak of the present
rebellion, months before the construction Of
the Merrimac, the ram defences were again
warmly urged by him, aud we hazard no.
thing in saying that the greatest benefit
would have followed the earlier adoption of
his advice. After the shock produced by
the Merrimac's attack, Col. Billet was allow
ed to carry out his long cherished project of
a ram feet. The battle above Memphis,
though the rams under his command were
wooden tug BEATS, hastily altered under his
supervision, couclusively proved the truth
of his theories. The captious critics, who
doubted the feasibility of his plans, have
now to confess bis knowledge and their
want OF it. We deeply regret that his noble
life could not have been spared for many
future deeds of patriotism and usefulness

To WHOM 1T MAY CoNCERN.-Having re-
duced my stock of ice very low within the
last few days. find the business exhibits
the following facts: l am out ny freight,
S168; the work of two hands at $I2 FER
week; myself and team, and often the third
man with horse and dray. This amount
and labor is an entire loss, from the fact of
the depreciation in weight from the time
the ice is weighed in Terre Haute until it
is disposed of here. l have not realized any
more, on all my sales thus far, than has
been refused for the same ice in Terre
Haute by the quantity of 200 tuns at time
For the future, so long as L. G. Hager
ice shall last, propose to sell at the follow
ing prices: To saloons, taking by the
quantity, Il cents per pound; to the retail
trade, pounds for cents, or pounds for
10 cents. jyl1 E. INGLE.

RAJ The rebellion found the government
utterly unprepared to resist it. Dangers OF
such alarming magnitude were so thick
that the stOutest hearts trembled for the

porter.
Aye, so it did. Why vas the govern
ment unprepared? Who was in power at
the time? Had there been no threats that
the South would rebel2 Why was the
army and navy scattered to the four cor
ners of the globe? Why was the treas
ury plHndered and the government credit
Frustrated until its stocks could not be sold
for more than 80 cents on the dollar. Why
were the northern arsenals robbed and
their contents placed within reach of the
malcontents who were daily threatening
secession and revolution We are not dis
posed to hold the entire democratic party
responsible for Mr.. Buchanans Admins
tration, but when demagogues deliberately
assert that the country can only be saved
by placing its destinies in the hands of
such men again, we have no hesitation in
holding them responsible for the condition
of things that now exists.
When they tell US that the country can
only be saved by the restoration of Buchan-
an, Cobb, and Floyd to power, they virtu.
ally endorse the acts of those officials as the
best possible manner in which the affairs o.
the Government can be administered.
We have no doubt the editor of the Can
Melton Reporter is Floyd Democrat. he
advocated the secession of Southern Indi
ana from the balance of the State, in order
that it might be tackled on to Southern
Confederacy. His theory of secession
stopped not with the secession Of States
He favored the disintegration Of States, a:
well as of the Union. 1t is in most excel
lent taste for one of his calibre and politi
cal antecedents to be reading homilies t,

INDIANA AsBuRY UNIVERSITY, AT GREEN
CASTLE, IND.-The Catalogue of 1862 of
this very popular seat of learning is upon
our table.
Its annual commencement exercises, and
meeting of it's Joint Board of Trustees and
Visitors, came off last week.
The entire proceedings were marked with
great spirit, and the utmost harmony and
good feeling prevailed.
A very superior class of thirteen young
men graduated.
The Rev. DR.. Bowman, its President.
and the whole staff of Professors and Tu-
tors seem to be admirably adopted to their
work. The lamented Prof. Fletcher was
called from service in this University to the
Superintendency of Public Instruction for
the State. Good and able as he was, there
| are several more there who would do honor
| to the State in the Office which he filled
/ with such distinguished zeal and ability. To
| those who mix short time with the Pro-
fessors and Students of Asbury, it is only
necessary to know the President to be con-
vinced that his genial spirit has already
difused itself through and permeated the
entire institution.

ATTENTION, ARMY SUBMISSIVE desire
to call your especial attention to one of the
most valuable and saleable articles for the
use of the army-a preparation of medicines
that has stood the public test for more than
twenty years, and has become familiar in
every household. This article, +" Perry
DAvIs's VEGETABLE PAIN KILLER" needs
no introduction; everybody knows it; the
soldiers know it, and you have only to keep
it to sell it. No remedy is more efficacious
in curing Diarrhea, Cramps, Dysentery,
Coughs, Colds, Slight Wounds, or Br uises,
and many other ailments Incidental to a
soldiers life. 1t is light and convenient to
carry, and can be resorted to on the march,
as well as in camp, without trouble. Being
used both internally and externally, its
value cannot be over estimated; in fact,
the soldiers want it and must have it, and
to keep such an article is the duty of every
sutler. 1t is sold at wholesale by Ed

R@. We learn from Capt. Bnrnell that
be saw both Glen. and James Ferguson,
formerly of this city, in Tennessee. James
had been in the rebel army, but deserted at
the evacuation of Corinth, came over to our
army and remained until it went to Mem
phis. Glen. managed to keep out of the
rebel army, and is still engaged in the book
binding business in phis.-Indianap
Us Journal.
We are glad to learn that our old friend,
Glenn. Ferguson, stayed out of the rebel
army and should be more glad TO learn tina:
he had always remained true to the Union.
His brother James used to be in the employ
of the associate editor of this paper, and we
recommend that he, in order to purge him
self of his apparent treason, take the oath
of allegiance, enlist under his old comrade,
Capt. Bryan, of the 18th Indiana, and
spend year in fighting for the flag he was
lately arrayed against. Capt. "Johnny "
will soon cure him of any lingering love
he may have for the Southern sbedadracy.
Try it on Jim.
