Convention and since, brought the sub
ject to the notice of the new Administra-

to Captain Vogdes was agreed upon, viz:
" At the first favorable moment you will
land with your company, reinforce Fort
Pickens, and hold the same till further
orders" This order, in duplicate, left
New York by two naval vessels about
the middle of March, as the mail and the

officers could not be submitted, for two

by the authorities of Pensacola, dispatch

"THE UNION AS IL WAS"
General scott's Opinions.

Early in the last year, when civil war
seemed impending but had not actually
broken out Gen. Scott, then at the head
of the army, wrote two papers containing
his views, professional and political, on
the crisis, and the rights and duties which
devolved on the Government in the mo-
mentous conjuncture. These two papers
were subsequently lent to many friends
to read, and one of them has recently
been published, without the writer's con-
sent, evidently for party purpose. As
the illustrious Old Warrior processes to
belong to no party other than that of the
National Union, he has deemed it proper
to give to the public himself the second
of the papers referred to, lest it also
might find its unauthorized way into
print He has, therefore, forwarded it
to us for insertion in the National Intel
ligencer, having added to it a few expla-
tory notes" which the lapse of time
seemed to render proper.
The paper now submitted to the public
by Gen. Scott throws food of light on
the history of the rebellion in its incipient
stages, and will inspire every reader
with deep interest 1t establishes, in the
first place, the patriotic anxiety of the
wise and watchful General-in- Chief to
prepare for the coming storm, and his
earnest and repeated efforts to prevail
on the Government to garrison and Sc
cure the Southern forts against every
possible attack; and it discloses, in the
second place, the causes of his failure,
which, it is now evident, resulted from
the indecision Of the Executive, misled
doubtless by treachery in the Secretary
of War, if not in other members of the
Cabinet, in whom the head of the Gov
ernment reposed a misplaced and absurd
confidence. This paper, we may add,
must have the effect, with every candid
mind, of vindicating the character of the
illustrious veteran General himself from
imputations which he has been recently
assailed by presses whose standard Of
merit is regulated only by party tests.

FelLo,o- Citizens of the First Congressional
District:
You are called upon by your patriotic
Governor, to furnish another Regiment OF
soldiers to aid in suppressing this unnatural,
unnecessary and useless rebellion. In the
previous calls By the authorities of our no.
bic State for troops, the first District re-
sponded with patriotic energy worthy of
all commendation, confidently trust and
believe that in this demand upon your pa
triotism, you will again rally to be support
OF the Government, with the same alacrity
and self sacrificing devotioo to the bleeding
cause of your country, that has heretofore
characterized the citizen of this noble and
loyal District.
have been commissioned by the Gov
ernoF, CoRmGndGnt to recruit and organize
this (Ihe 65th) Regiment, and in order to
facilitate the organization, have deter
mined upon the following plan: In order
to make the company organizations effec-
tive and binding, a End Lieutenant will be
appointed in each county in the District to
whom the Territory in said county will be
| assigned, in which to recruit his Company.
Second Lieutenants will have full power to
muster recruits into service where and
whenever enrolled.
Each recruit, in addition to the usual
allowance for clothing and subsistence, will
receive one months pay and twenty-f Eve
dollars of the one hundred dollars bounty
allowed in advance when the regiment is
mustered into the service.
As an inducement to recruit, in order
that the regiment may be got ready for SER
vice at the earliest possible moment, and
that we may not be behind any other Dis
trict in the State, in responding to this call,
| har- IT Il
from a number of our patriotic citizens,
amounting to the sum of fUe hundred dol
lars, ard this fund propose to employ as
follows:
To the first full company mustered into
service in this District from the counties of
VandeTburgh and Posey l will give one
hundred dollars, and like sum of one hun
dred dollars to the first company so muster
ed from the counties of Warrick and Spen-
Ger, and in like manner like sum 10 the
first company from Gibson and Knox, Pike
and Davies, and Dubois and Martin.
This sum will be paid by me to the au-
thorized agent of the company as soon as
the conditions are complied with. In order
to raise still greater company fund | shall
require the premium of two dollars for each
accepted recruit to be paid over to the au-
thorized agent of the company.
These two items will constitute hand
some company fund, and will be under the
control OF The company to be used as the
members may see fit.
The district will be thoroughly canvass
ed by able speakers, the appointments of
which will be published as soon as the pro-
per arrangements can be made, and 1 call
upon all good citizens 10 specially interest
themselves in urging their neighbors to at
tend these meetings, and in every way sec
ond the important object we are now en-
gagged in.

An Exclamation


BooNvILLEt IND, July II, 1862.
The Journal of last Tuesday pertinently
asks by what authority the Union men or
Convention of Warrick county calls for a
Union Congressional Convention, to assem-
bic at Princeton in August next. l must
say that the Union Convention that met
here on last Saturday did no such thing.
Our Secretaries reported the action of
our county Convention wrong, and by SO
doing make US appear before the rest of
the District in ridiculous light. The who,e
action of Our Convention in this matter
was simply this =: A resolution was adonted
suggesting and recommending to the Union
men Of this District the propriety of hold
ing Congressional Convention to assemble
at Princeton in August next, for the pur-
pose OF selecting some suitable person to
run for Congress. 1t is passing strange
how our Secretaries should make such
mistake in reporting the action of the con-
vention in this matter.
Please set us right in this matter.
Yours truly, WARRIcK

The Federal loss was eight killed and

EMIL TMESTs PROGRESSING AT THE FAsr.-
1t was ted.ed that in some of the Eastern
States volunteers would come in so slowly
that drafting would be necessary. 1t is Just
the reverse. The Boston Traveller of FRIDAY
afternoon says that active preparations still
continue all over Massachusetts to raise her
quota of $4,000 men, and there is not the
least doubt that the number required will
be obtained by voluntary enlistments. The
New York Commercial Advertiser states
that within the past few days indications
have been made that, under proper eucour-
agement, there will be but little trouble in
obtaining the complement of regiments de-
manded of New York State
