DIED-At Alexandria, Va, July l1th, of
Typhoid fever, Mr.. JACKSON Potter, son Of
John and Mary Potter of Luthersburg, Clear
feld county, Pa.
Mr.. Potter was enlisted into the service of
the United States, Oct. 1st, 1861, by John W.
Pau1y OF Lntllersburg-waS first mustered in
10 Company X but afterwards transferred to
company /, where he served faithfully until
a few days before his death. His loss is deep
ly felt by his associates in the army, and, no
doubt, sincerely mourned by his friends at
home. AS man he was highly respected by
all who knew hm-a pattern worthy to be
copied after by all young men. His qualities
as soldier are scarcely, if ever, excelled-al-
ways at his post. He did his duty to his
country with willingness that did honor TO
himself, his friends, AID the regiment OF
which he was a member. May his remains
repose in silence until called forth to be re-
united with the happy spirit that has gone be-
fore. w. X. a.
His remains were conveyed home, and in
tered on July 18th, with religious and mill
tary services.

Indiana Politics.

On the sth OF January last, in accordance with
long established custom, the Democracy OF lndi-
ana held its Stnte Convention for the nomination
OF candidates or the October election. The plat
form which they adopted contained a truthful de
nunciation "A ike of Abolitionism and secession
ism, affirmed an unalterable attachment 10 the
Union and the principles upon which it was blsed,
and. so far as the present war is concerned, That il
should be conducted SO rs as TO save the Union
and not destroy IL. and the resolution which pass
ell Congress almost unanimously, known as the
Crittenden resolution, was reilirmcd. The prof.
ligacy, incompetency, and robbery OF the Repub-
lican party was severely but Justly denounced.
From that day To this. both IN and out of the
S ate, the cry of "secesSiouists. " "traitors.' . aud
the like, have been hurled ut the Democracy OF
Indiana without stint, and with the iervor that
the Chinese pound their gongs when they have
no better weapons TO hurl against their enemies.
The gong Founders Of China, however. are EN-
tirely put in the shade by the gong Founders of
Indiana.
But time teaches its lessons in one country as
we'll as another. Politicians OF the Republican
and Abolition persuasion, and those of any kind
OF persuasion 10 win, who commenced this
drumming, and who commenced at the same
time to organize "A fusion against the Democracy
have had some time for reflection, and. although
they assembled in State convention on the 18th
inst. and put a ticket in the field under the name
of "Union." and although the gongs were sound
ell airesh but rather tamely by the speakers. vet
that convention dared not to make an issue with
the Democracy; but upon every essential point
except denouncing abolitionism. their platform,
so far "a il goes. is identical in sentiment. and.
on the main question of prosecuting the war.
Identical in language with that Of the Democ
rtcy.
The managers Of this new concern have learn
ell already that the only hope OF success Tor any
political party is To appear to stand upon the Con
stituti0p They have yet to learn that II IS too
late in the course of events to- save AbolitioniSm
by any such insincere aud hypocritical dodge as
they have presented to the people OF their State.
They have vet 10 learn that Abolitionism in Con
gress has made an issue which the Democracy

The rebels, taught by the past, have chosen
one CommAnder-in Chief. General Lee, who con
trolls every movement OF the vast Southern army.

ginning to reap the benefits of the plan, stopped

out a struggle with red tape and civilians clothed
in n little brief authority, can move his whole
force to any one point. Ii Mcclellan wishes to

may suffer defeat. Mcdowell, Fremont and
Banks will all have their say->o in it; and. to
judge 10y the past. thew are very apt 10 decide
wrong. They will not be willing To give up SO
much authority.
There IS one thing becoming evident. even to
the uuinilitary, that the forces in Virginia must
be under one commander. The present arrange
meut is absurd. We can expect to do nothing
while affairs are conducted in such a miscel.lane-
Gus way.
We also think it equally clear that all the re-
Inducements TO spare should ut once be sent to
Mcclellan. II we suffer ourselves to be out
maneuvered there, the consequences will be dis
astrous. Ii some of the press, instead of lauding
such Generals as Fremont, Banks & Co., would
