NEW FLAG STAFF.--A very handsome
flag staff was raised on the wharf opposi' 9
the corner of Main and Water streets, last
evening. The lower portion is a straight
cypress seventy feet long, with white
pine top mast thirty feet long, making the
whole 100 feet above ground. It is finish
ed up smoothly and handsomely, and will
be very creditable to the city and to those
who have contributed to its erection.
Mr.. L. G. Knox, of the Telegraph Office,
has been indefatigable in his management
of this affair, and after the most profound
strategy, had the proud satisfaction, last
night, of seeing his labors crowned with
success. To-day, if fair, the proud banner
of beauty and glory will float from the
peak, the admiratian of all patriotic hearts.

The TRIBULATIoNs OF The DISCIPLES OF
GALEN, OR ANY OTHER MAN.-Our readers
will remember the vast sensation produced
some Sundays ago by the advent and exodus
of certain distinguished medical gentlemen
en- route to check the flow of blood and heal
the broken bones expected to be found near
Corinth, and their subsequent closing of the
American House by choice philippe pub
lished 10 the Indianapolis papers, regardless
ofexpense. These sons of Aseulapius seem
born to troubles and trials.
Parson Goodwin of the Indianapolis
American, thus records their further tribu-
lations on the historic fields of Shiloh and
Pea Ridge, and in front of Corinth. He
says:
Speaking of the hospitals reminds me of
the tribulstion of the extra doctors who
have been sent out by the several States,
and by Indiana in particular They are
men of undoubted parts, whether at home
or here, but things have not trsnspired ac-
cording to their programme any more shan
mine, the greater shame to Gen. Haleck to
be sure, yet none the less grief to the men
who came here for the I" next battle" They
were mostly nervous all along the way, and
impatient at every delay, so much so that
some of them fred away at mine hosts of
the popular and well managed American
House, at Evansville, to be badly damaged
by the recoil of the piece which they over
loaded, because that House did not provide
speedy transportation Tor them to the forth
coming field of blood. Not sure that Gen.
HalIeck knew that they were coming. they
were afraid the battle vi I'd be over before
they got here, ami now that they are here
tney are sure that he is not consulting their
wishes in the postponment of the light
which was to give them chance to ampu-
tate legs, arms, necks, &c, to say nothing
of dressing heads and feet in the most ap-
proved style. sa--s- -- ~.-.
The order of the Secretary of War en-
titles them to tents, forage, substance,
&C., but it does not make it any body s du-
y 10 furnish them, moreover they did not
come prepared to go TO house keeping, nor
say longer than a few weeks at fiirthest.
s me of them are worse off for clean shirts
han this editor, leaving more at home no
doubt, and their money is not supposed TO
be exhaus less.
The battle has been postponed painfully

Local News.

The E. & G. R. Ri is very gratifying
to all the friends of the Evansville and
Orawfordsville Railroad, to witness the
heavy freight business that is being done
by It at the present time. Two heavy
trains of freight pass over it daily and still
the amount of tobacco, cotton, &C., to be
shipped from this point accumulates.
When the navigation of the Mississippi
is completely opened, we may expect TO see
the business of the road largely increased.
The affairs of the road is being mar.
aged with consummate ability, by its very
efficient President, Mr.. John Ingle, jr., who
devo*es his entire energies to the work and
who has been exceeding felicitous in the
selection ofhis snbordinates and employees.

TFeasOnabIe AvOwa1s in Illinois.
The traitors are right in reckoning on
the aid and comfort in some of the free
States. They were wrong in over estimat-
ing the number, influence and pluck, of
their fellow traitors in the North. But en-
couraged by tolerance, the sympathizers are
growing holder in their reasonable utter
ances. For example, the CarIinville Spec
tatOr, published at Csrlinville. Macoupin
county, Illinois, of May 18th, has a lead
ing editorial, of which the following is an
extract:
" We call the especial attention of our
readers to the address of the DemocI attic
members of Congress frcm the free States
to the people of the United States. The
sentiments contained in it look as if day
of redemption was approaching, and that
the days of LeGden despotisn were draw ng
to a close. The VULGAR, STAGGERING
UsURPER at Washington, a0ho has the un-
bhtshtng impudenee to intimate that he, and
he alone, IS the Government of the United
States, may begin TO take warning. This
address comes like the tocsin and the roar
of the alarm gun. The UNITY OF DEsPoTIsM
they pledge themselves to resist, as did our
fathers, Nth their EUeS, their fortunes and
their sacred honor. Let the Democracy come
bravely up to the move that promises to
disenthrsll the country from the tyranny
more odious than Austrian despotssm. This
is movement in the right direction, and
the only objection to it is that it does not
go far, enough" ,.t ,---.e t.-zE Fl 81
This paragraph is but the legitimate fruit
of the address itself. 1t contains the only
fair construction upon the designs of the
author in writing the address. Vallandig-
ham knew well in what light the address,
would be regarded, North and South. Per-
hsps few Of those who signed it knew
not what they did," and would give any
thing if they could recall the act. The
people are fally awake to the movements of
these gentlemen and will checkmate them
more suddenly than they anticipate. The
address itself is full of falsehoods, which is
not strange, considering that VallandIgh ham
wrote it, tits also lacking in ingenuity being
palpably and so Enthusiastically against the
government in its efforts to suppress the
Rebellion as to disgust great msjority OF
the very men, it was designed to rally into
an Organization. Law, VOORHEES, & Co.,
have signed their own political death war
rants, we verify believe, for we cannot think
the loyal people of their Districts will toll
crate the least appearance of sympathy
with the rebels in their Infamous attempt
to break up the Government. HJ tE

learn that our army has driven the rebels
from their position on the left and taken

I CALL FORA UNION STATE CON
XENTION,

Over Sixty Thousand citizens of Indiana
having voluntarily taken up arms for the
defense of the Government and the preser-
walton of the Constitution and the liberties
Of the people, it Is unbecoming those who
remain at home to array themselves in par
tisan warfare against each other, when the
probable consequences must be to prevent
the resources of the country from being ap-
piled to the support and maintenance of the
army, 20 engender strife and discord, to
withhold supplies for the war worn soldiers,
and recruits for the ranks thinned by bat
tie; and may terminate in the demoraliza-
ton of the army, and the overthrow of
constitutional liberty. @
Therefore, most earnestly deprecating all
efforts to keep on foot party influences,
preiudices and discipline, all persons, Elec-
tors of Indiana, who are in favor of the
vigorous prosecution of the war for the
preservation of the Union and the mainte-
nance of the Constitution, and opposed to
the disloyal Convention of the 9th of Janu.
airy last, are, without respect to past politi-
cal associations, invited to meet in Mass
Convention, at Indianapolis, on the 18th of
June next, for the purpose of nominating
candidates for the Offices of State, to be
voted for at the next general election.
And to the end that Indiana may contin-
ue to enjoy the high position with the other
States which she has in the present war
hitherto occupied, and that all the energies
of the State may be unitedly put forth for
the efectual suppression of the rebellion,
that the Constitution may be respected, its
authority acknowledged, and law and order
once more established all over the land, it
is earnestly hoped that all citizens will, for
the time, put aside party, and unite for the
country. .-4r
