BeS- As an indication'of how the soldiers
feel in regard to the late elections, we
give the result Of the vote taken in one
company from Clay and this county, to
express their sentiments. The company
is stationed at Henderson, Kentucky
When the news reached the boys that
Dan. Voorhees, was elected, number of
them shouted for JOY, which provoked
their Captain, who said that majority
of his company were opposed to him;
this was disputed A vote was then Ia
ken which resulted in II for Dan and l9
for Scott This made the Captain quite
angry, and he swore that there were
more secessionists in Indiana than in
kentucky He thus slandered his own
men.-Ierre Haute Journal
We have been at much trouble to veri-
fly or to prove the above false. The re-
suit is that none of the officers or men
stationed at Henderson, ever heard of
any such transaction, and to prove how
recklessly the Terre Haute Journar lied
in the matter, it is only necessary to
state that no company from Clay county
was located at Henderson at the time of
the election or at any other time. The
whole story is fraud and SANDER.

ExPLAN&rIoN.--Afe few days agoit was
announced that Capt John A Bryan of
the nth 1ndianG had been dismissed
from the service by order of the War De-
partment, on a charge Of drawing the
pay Of deceased soldier. The plain
facts of the case are, on the death of one
of his men, Capt B-innocently and
without any intent Of defrauding the gov
ernment-drew the pay belonging to
him, and appropriated the same towards
liquidating the debts of said deceased
soldier He afterwards became aware of
his error, and wrote to the War Depart
ment, explaining the facts, and asking
what should be done with the balance in
his hands In return he received a dis
charge from the service.
Capt Bryan has gone to Indianapolis
to lay his case before Gov Morton, and
ask his aid in his behalf He is in pos
session of paper signed by every officer
in the regiment, from the Colonel down,
from which we extract the following
paragraphs:
1t is clearly apparent from the dispo-
sitions made of the money drawn by
Capt Bryan, that there was no intent TO
defraud the Government of the United
States, guardian, or heirs of the deceased
soldier, and therefore the act though in
violation of the regulations of the Army,
and manifestly an error of judgment,
is not in our opinion, such as to compro-
mise the honesty or honor of Captain
BRYAN
Therefore, we sincerely express our
sympathy for him and our regret at the
unfortunate circumstances which have
taken him from the Regiment; also, our
own undiminished confidence in his
honor and capacity as an officer, and our
best wishes for the happiness and sue
cess which his qualities of mind and
heart deserve.
Six years intimate acquaintance with
Capt Bryan, assured us, when the an
nouncement was first made, that the
Captain was innocent of any intentional
wrong in this matter, and this was the
opinion entertained Of him by all his ac-
Quaintance, and We hope he will be re-
stored to his command. A more gallant
officer, or drawer soldier never drew q
sword. Let him still bear his sword.

in saying that this surrender to necessity will soeu i'm

connection with Great Britain which it must yield
or fight and that ninety days will not pass without
further insulting demand from the English oigarchy.
Even the least obseFvant st have been struck with
the sudden development OF warlike feeling towards

receipt OF the news of the capture of Messrs. Mason

warlike feeling but bitter feeling not merely the
