SUDDEN DEATH.-0n Saturday evening, DIR.
Kraut, formerly a resident of this city aud more
recently surgeon of the 32d Indiana. Col. Viii
lich's regiment, died suddenly at the Union De-
pot. The Doctor had been in failing health for
some time, having never recovered from a severe
attack of typhoid fever contracted in camp. He
had been at home for two or three months, and
at the time of his death was with his wife and
Children at the depot-for Seymour. He had
taken his seat in the cars of the Jacksonville
train, when he became faint, and was carried
from thence to the ladies' room of the depot.
where i'm a few moments he breathed his last.
His wife and three or four interesting children
were around him. 1t was a sad and affecting
sight to see the husband and father thus suddenly
snatched from the weeping group.
DR.. Kraut. we understand, was an able sur
geon, who had an experience Of over twenty
years army practice in Europe.
He was buried last evening from the Palmer
House, the Harugary Society Germany and a
large concourse OF citizens accompanying the
remains to their final resting place.

GATE they Honesty,

The Republican leaders, at the so called
Union" Convention, on the 18th of June,
adopted the CRIrrESDES resolution passed by the
House of Representatives in July last. Twice
has that resolution been proposed at the present
session of Congress and each time was it voted
down by the Republicans. The fact is the Re-
publicans have no idea of adopting the senti-
ments of that resolution as the policy to be pur-
sued in the prosecution of the war. The lead
ers of that party here are aware of this, and yet
they have the dishonesty to adopt it as the basis
of their platform when they know it to be a cheat.
They can not deceive the people by any such
transparent humbuggery.

~
GENTLEMEN: As one of your number j feel
insulted by the action of The Black Republicans
who have brought our country into its present
difficulties by their crGsades against Shareholders
and for the unconstitutional abolition of slavery.
The great and cardinal doctrine of Douglas,
that on which he rested his fame, and which en-
deared him to US all, was popular sovereignty,
non Intervention with slavery in the Territories.
Now, what do we beholdI Why, this miserable
Janus-faced Black Republican party, while sim
pering simulated sorrow and respect for Doug
lass memory and h~oneying about his supporters,
have passed the Wilmot proviso and applied the
act to all existing Territories, thus giving a fatal
stab to the hopes and memory of Douglas. This
great outrage has been perpetrated in the face and
eyes of the solemn decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States, as Mr.. Holt. of Kentucky,
admits. 1t is kept concealed from the public as
much as possible, and is telegraphed under the
unmeaning phrase Of the bill to give freedom TO
the Territories.
Now, how do poor Secrest, Williamson, Good
ing aud Ray feel? However as Ray was a Le-
compton swindle man. l believe. he'll have no
trouble with his conscience or consistency.

The ssSIoYer Eraud.n

The Vincenncs Gazette, edited by the Hon.
CYRUS NJ. ALLEN, thus condemns the recent at
tempt of the Journal to whitewash the Agent of
State, and excuse his completely in the Stover
fraud:
The indianapolis Journal undertakes to defend
the course of r. N. Hudson. State Agent, in
connection with the Slower fraud. Ii the facts
are as stated by the Journal, then the Colonel
cannot be very well defended. He may have
acted from a conviction of duty, and for what he
supposed the best interests of the State, but it
will be difficult to convince the people that his
course was right. Col. Hudson. the Journal
states, discovered the fraud "a few days after he
entered his office; that was about March, 1861,
but he gave the Governor no intimation of the
fraud until February, 1862. Was it right for
Col. Hudson to conceal the fraud from the Exec
utive of the State for a term of nearly a yeArr
Again, at the time the fraud was discovered. In
diana was not in the market with bonds, or at
tempting to negotiate any loans. neither was the
General Government, and neither the interests of
the State or National Government required the
conceilment of the fraud.
The Legislature of the State was convened in
extra session in April, 1861. and continued until
June. this was after Col. Hudson knew Stoyers
rascality. Why was it not made known, that the
necessary legislation could be had to prevent flu
ture frauds. Col. Hudson allowed his office to be
used for the redemption and payment of interest
on the fraudulent issue, thus, indirectly, making
the State a party to the fraud and giving the
bonds currency. He ought to have known that
for every &c., 900 of bonds returned by Slower he
was putting in circulation $4,000. and instead
of reducing was quadrupling the fraudulent is
sues. The object Col. Hudson had in view may
have been worthy any mans ambition" but for
our life we can't see how It was to be accom-
plished when the fraudulent bonds increased from
$3.50 900 ia circulation at the time the fraud was
discovered to 81 ,000, 900 at the time it was ex-
posed. We do not impugn the motives or hon
esty of Col. Hudson, but he has shown himself
an unfaithful and incompetent public agent.

keep t before the people,.

That the Abolition measures which have re-
Gently passed Congress and been approved by the
President, such as the bill for the abolition of
slavery in the District of Columbia, the Hayti.
Liberia recognition bill and the bill forever pro
hibiting slavery 10 the Territories now belong
ing to. or hereafter acquired by the United
States, were introduced, advocated and voted for
to a man by the ultra Republican Abolitionists
in both branches of Congress, and that the same
class of men in Congress are united in pressing
the passage of general coniscation and emanci-
patton bills.
These Republican Abolitionists, with a few, a
very few, honorable exceptions, constitute the
Union with Abolition party in Congress and Of
course represent the same party out Of Con-
gress. Such is the character of the so called
Union" or Fusion party as demonstrated by
the public acts Of lie representative men IN our
national Legislature

PASSAGE or TRooPs.-The 18th Illinois cav
airy, en- route from Springfield to Annapolis, Nd.
passed through this city on Saturday night and
Sunday. They came here over the Lafayette
road and left by the Indiana Central. There
we're about ninety cars, making five or six trains.
The boys took quite a spree yesterday portion
OF them at least-and two or three knock downs
in front of the court house was the consequence.
The fight was among themselves, and We suppose
they were just getting their hands in.
An unfortunate occurrence happened about
noon, the exact particulars of which We could
not get at. A Captain of one of the companies
shot a private of another company. The bail
took effect in the breast, and the man expired in
a short time. Whether the act was justiiable
and necessary to sustain order and preserve dis
cipline or not we are not advised, but presume
the matter will be investigated.

The Tax Bill and the city.

The final passage of the tax bill, directly inte-
resting to every individual in the country, will Of
course affect all persons doing business IN the
city. For instance, every window adorned by the
transparent colored vases of the apothecary sig
niies ten dollars for the Federal Government.
Every eating house, whether an elaborate affair,
or only a little basement where sandwiches and
cold coffee are sold, must disgorge an X. Prof.
Anderson. the Wizard of the North, will have to
pay the tax gatherer double this amount, for a
juggler's license is $50; and besides this 500 the
license for opening a theater. Bankers, who are
generally supposed to have more money than
anybody else, will pay 500, aud peddlers who
have less, are charged but S.. Confectioners are

Dr.. JAMES s. ATHoS.-This distinguished gen
tleman, who is the Democratic candidate for
Secretary OF State, visited our town on Saturday
last, and addressed the Democracy at the Court
House. He took strong grounds against the
growing radicalism Of the country. and defended
the Democracy in a mastery manner against the
foul aspersions of some of the opposition. DR..
A. spoke in most glowing terms of the indica-
tons throughout the State in regard to the sue
cess of the Democratic party. His speech was
sound, forcible and to the point, and was listened
to with marked attention throughout by the vast
concOurse of people assembled on the OCCASION

The ABoLuTIoSIsrs DID IT. = Some
twenty-five years ago a few noble men saw as
they never saw before, the enOrmity of slavery,
and they set themselves to work to arouse the
conscience of the nation. BY degrees men came
to see the sin and turn from it; and our present
conflict of arms is a direct consequence of this
turning from our evil ways.-NeIcark North

Just Sentiments FOrcibIy Stated.

We call attention to the following card from
Hon. w. II. ENGLISH in response to a request
from some of his old friends in the Second Dis
trict to again become a candidate to represent
them in Congress. Mr.. ENGLISH, for three sue
cessive terms, represented that District in Con-

that in declining to again become the recipient of
the confidence of his political friends, he utters
some just sentiments upon the present condition
of public affairs which are well worthy of con-
sideration by all who sincerely desire the good of
the country, and for that reason we call attention
to them:

Our PROGRESS IN THE SCIENCE or AGriI.-
LERY.--The success that has attended the ex-
periments made with the fifteen-insh gun on
board the Passaic is a subject on which we
have reason 10 congratulate ourselves. IL
solves q most dificult problem In gunnery; for
until Captain Ericsson found means to lessen
the recoil and deadsn the conclusion caused by
the discharge Of these monster pieces II was
extremely doubtful whether they could be en-
ployed inside the turrets Of our irsn-clads thus
rendering them Ineffective for the purposes FOR
which they were most vented. To be obliged
10 run them outside for each discharge would
be TO expose them to the risk Of being disabled
and silenced-a hazard which IL would not be
prudent TO run, seeing that only two Of them
can be used On vessels OF the size aud build Of
the Monitor. The manner In which the difficulty
has been overcome ia, as we have said, theme
for congratulation. for it proves that in all mat
ters appertanng 70 the science Of artillery our
American engineers distance those Of all other
countries. Tie advantage gained By this fresh

The KEARSY LErrERs.--Mr Pet Halstead,

General Kearny's. rejecting in bitter and
satiricsl mood upon the former Commander-in-

already noticed these letters to reprove the
spirit evinced IN their reproduction, we were
inclined TO let the matter drop, feeling sure
that the effect Of those hssty epistles would be
more beneficial than injurious to General Nc

because we wish 10 state our surprise at the
fact that the last published letter, or rather re-
