In Memoyiam.

At meeting of the Union Rifles on
the 9Th day of September, 1862, held at
their armory, in the city of Terre Haute.
The following testimonial was by the
members of the company unanimously
adopted.
TEsTTMoNTAL.-The officers and mem
bers of the Union Rifles have heard with
feelings of deep sorrow, of the untimely
fall of Lieut. Col Melville D. Topping, in
the recent battle near Richmond Ken
lucky, and take this opportunity of ex-
pressing our high admiration of the gal
lantry and general courage as soldier,
and great worth as citizen, the urbani-
ty and kindly bearing as a gentleman.
During the short term IN which we
served under his command in Kentucky
as part of the 10th Regiment, we ac-
qnired for him deep affection and great
respect, which it will be the pleasure of
our lives to cherish and remember. His
devotion to duty, his scrupulous adher-
ence to truth, his great unselfshness, his
constant and efficient efforts to promote
the comfort of each member of his COM
mand cannot soon be forgotten. Elected
as our first Captain, he continued as
such until the recent call for lolunteers,
when he was among the first to respond,
among the first to advance against the
enemy, and the first to fall, and while we
deeply deplore his loss, it is with the
proud consolation that he fell gallantly
at the head of his Regiment, his breast
to the foe, in the service of his country;
patriot hero, and christian.
In behalf of the Company,
BALLARD SMITH, Capt.

re- We find the following in the W.

BS We find the following in the Wa
bash Express of Monday If the conduct
of Gen. Nelson was as is here represent
ed, he deserves the execrations of all
| honest men. An officer who would act
cruelty towards his wounded soldiers,
would be expected to leave them in the
hour of disaster, and fee hundred miles
to place of safety.
The 7lsT REGIMENT two hun
dred of this regiment came down on the
train from Indianapolis Saturday even
ing, having been granted short furloughs,
in order to visit their friends and fami-
lies, and no doubt there were many hap
by meetings on that evensng and yester-
day, for with many-who were reported
certainly killed-it appeared as if they
had risen from the grave. Their many
tales of hair-breadth escapes were lis
tened to by eager crowds on the streets,
and it was with difficulty they could
force their way through to visit their
homes and assure anxious relatives of
their safety.
The number reported killed in this
regiment has been greatly exaggerated,
and is every day becoming less, although
there is an undue proportio of wounded.
The following reported killed, are I'M
scathed and now at home Capt. McCune,
Parke county; Capt Dowdy, Vermillion
county; Lieut.. Joseph Clifford and Isaac
NJ. Brown, of this city, and Web w.
Casio, of Sugar Creek township. Lieut..
w. o. Norris fell pierced with FIVE balls
Among the wounded of Capt Welch's
company, and now in the hospital at Rich
mond, are-Sergt Eli Bigham, shot
through the shoulder, seriously; Sergt S.
w. Williams, Groceryman, North 4th
street, shot in the shoulder; w. A. Ste
vens, in the leg; S. NJ Young, in the
shoulder; Geo. Eddy, in the hip;
Moon, in the leg; John Hudson, in the
leg and head; JAS Hitchcock, in the leg,
slightly; Corporal Harris was wounded
slightly in the hand. Lieut. Z. w. Peck,
reported wounded, is unhurt.
To add to the discontinue of Capt Al
lens men, all their money, advance pay
and bounty, was placed in some ones
hands, and is lost. -
Rev. G. NJ. Boyd, who went in search
of his son has returned, having ascertain
ed that he is slightly wounded in the
ankle, and now in the hospital at Rich
mond. 1t is reported, and corroborated
by every one with whom we have spoken,
that after he was wounded in retiring to
the hospital, he was met with by General
Neslon, and ordered.back. In the endeav-
or to explain, the General struck him a
blow with his sword, knocking him down
and cutting a severe cash in his head
Gen. Nelson is also charged with cutting
down with his sword and shooting several
other wounded men in their attempt to
escape. We hope these charges will be
investigated, and if true, the severest
penalties meted out to the officer who

Upon no subject that has ever agi-
tated the political circles of our country
has such an universal change of public
sentiment taken place as is now occur
ring in the minds of all in regard to the
prosecution of this war. Our recent I'M
deniable reverses have almost placed
things in their true light. A singular
unanimity is prevalent upon the ques-
ton of confscation, subjugation, eman-
cipation, humiliation, determination,
degradation, and damnation. Not sim
gutar unanimity either, but the result of
every mans calm, unprejudiced refec-
tions. If we are conquered can we have
any peace; will it not be taunt and
savage boast thrown in our teeth for
ever? VIII not the Southern braggarts
cry that one of them can whip five north
ern men be verifed2 Would we not be
slaves in spirit? My Godl the CHASTITY
spectre stares me in the face, and my
blood boils. Though the clouds of ma
tional misfortune are heavy and black,
and hang lowering upon the mind of ey-
cry freeman, we will not despair; thauk
