BOUNTY TO SOLDIERS.

most of the other loyal States, and with a
view to hasten the enlistment of the Three
Hundred Thousand volunteers called for
by the President, the people in numerous
towns in this State are offering bounty in
various sums to such citizens as will en-
list for the tenth and eleventh Regiments.
In few towns the bounty is raised by
tax, but in the majority of instanses by
means Of voluntary subscriptions.
We have no objections to offer to any
course which will expedite enlistments,
but we must be permitted to remark, that
in our opinion, it was hardly necessary to
inaugurate the policy and practice of pay
ing bounties in this State. Yet it having
been inaugurated, it may be best to carry
it out Other States, as New York and
Massachusetts, for instance, in raising boun-
ties for those who enlist, are simply doing,
in part, what Vermont performed for her
soldiers in the outset of the war. BY an
act Of the Extra Session of the Legisla-
ture, it was provided that each and every
soldier who enlisted into regiments then
called for should be paid out Of the Treas
ury of the State, seven dollars per month,
during the entire period of his service, in
addition to the regular army pay, and by
an act passed at the regular session, the
same provision was extended to all regi-
ments which should thereafter be raised
in the State. This is therefore virtually
bounty of eighty-four dollars a year, or
t,co hundred and Jf5fty-two dollars for three
years. The Governor of New York has
taken the responsibility of offering
bounty of $50 to each accepted recruit,
but if he had given bounty of 500, it
would not have been nearly so liberal
even then as Vermont has been. We are
aware that a bounty of fifty dollars down
cash in hand--would be in many in
stances more tempting than much larger
bounty paid in small monthly sums; but
after all no rejecting man will fail to see
if he stops to consider the matter, that it
is much better for the soldier to have his
bounty accrue gradually. If he has
family, dependent upon him for support,
it would certainly be better for them to
draw seven dollars per month during his
abscnse, it may be for three years, than
to receive $50 Or 800 in single pay
ment, and that the end of it. And if the
soldier has no family, then his bounty is
accommodating, and remains on safe de.
post, for his benefit, after his return from
| the war. r aas
Looking at the matter in this light, the
members of the Tenth and Eleventh regi-
ments, and those who think of entering
into them, will readily perceive that even
if no additional bounty is paid to them
they viii be much better paid under the
existing provisions of law in their behalf
than are the soldiers from any other Stat
IN the Union. d. st
Still, we have no objection to an add
tional bounty if our people are disposed
to raise it. 1t is subject which demands
serious attention. We know that most O
those who remain at home, are willing t,
do something-much even for those witt
| 60, and thus eaualize the burdens of thu
war SO far as may be. osg

JUICE HUGHEs ON PARTY Man.
Judge Hughes, of the U. S. Court of
Claims, always Democrat of the very
straightest sort, recently made a speech
at indianapolis in response to serenade.
A report of his remarks says =
He denounced in strong terms those
who profess devotion TO the Union, and
vet are so frightened at the idea of subju-
CATION and emancipation. "These men"
seem far more anxious TO preserve the
bond of the slave than thea bond of the
Union. | am opposed to war specially
for the purpose of emancipation-but if,
as an unavoidable incident of the war
slavery should perish, let it die. Loud
applause. don't believe in preserving
slave property for men whose hands are
red with the blood of our neighbors, kin.
dred and friends. aaa
For the disposal of all such men | have
plan. If Douglas man wants to know
where to go, would say, follow Douglas
and act upon the patriotic precepts of his
last speech. If a Douglas man were dis
loyal, would say, follow your candidate
for the Vice Presidency, who is now in
the rebel Congress 60 there. A loyal
Breckenridge man should follow Stanton
and Dickinson, and Butler. A disloyal
Breckenridge man should go after Breck
inridge. A loyal Bell man should follow
the illustrious Everett A disloyal one
should 60 where Bell is.
For the rest of those neutral men, wht
believe in fighting rebel battles on loya
soil, i would form them all into a process
sion, with secession flags and marshals Sc
lected from the Sth of January Conven
ton, and march them South to the tun,
In Dixie's Land we'll take our Stand. >

Mn. EDITOR In your description of the
speech of Ex-Gov. Wright at Rockville on
Saturday last, you forgot an incident which
is too good to be lost, and which is now
supplied.
While the Governor was speaking of the
propriety of putting the negro in the war
to do the drudgery and to save our soldiers
from the bitches aud trenches, some Demo-
crat in the crowd cried out we have
enough s0hite men to finish the war;"
YES" said the Governor, " we bave
enough white men, but they are not all of
the right Sort" The 1it was so palpable
that the crowd went off in burst of laugh
ter, and that Democrat left as soon as it
was convenient to sneak away unobserved.
The Governor is a sly fox, and many
thought his allusion was towards the VAL
landighamers and Voorheesites of this Dis.
trict, who claim TO be as good Union aud
war men as any body; like the ostrich
when pursued, presumes the whole body is
hid when the head is under cover.
II we could get Gov. Wright after that
aspfant for Congressional honors who has
so many o's and e's in. his name, it is very
probable that the aspirant aforesaid would
nave many more obs and much less ease,
before he could get safely through. s. +.

E9 Mr.. Wickliffe had much to say in
his speech about the Crittenden resolution.
1t will be remembered that this resolution
passed the House by the decided vote of 12I
to 2. Vallandigham and voorhees, both
lodged the vote, though they were in their
seats but few minutes before the vote was
taken. Why didn't Mr.. Wickliffe pour
forth his denunciations upon his colleague
who sat upon the platform. Every Repub-
lican member of the House, we believe,
voted for the resolution. VIII tan amount

will our people believe it, they have scat
tered the poison farther than that They
are to-day, laboring Systematically and per-
sistently to create disaffection in the army,
even to breaking it up. We do not speak
unadvisedly. We know the truth of what
we affirm. Letters are being written to the
volunteer regiments, from this State at least,
informing the soldiers "that the Govern
ment has resolved on liberatng all the mig
gers; that they are to be armed and uni
formed that they ere to be placed on an
equality with the white regiments, and that
the gallant volunteers of Indiana are hence
forth to be regarded as of no more value
than negroes, and in every respect to be de-
graded to their level" They are told "that
the war has degenerated into mere Aboil-
ton foray; that the preservation ofthe Union
is the last thing the Administration has IN
view, and that its great and only aim is the
liberation of the slaves, and the bringing
about Of the social and political equality OF
the white and black races" The volunteers
are in a situation. somewhat similar to that
of the Southern people before the rebel
lion broke out. They are now unable 70
procure papers regularly, and hence are not
sufficiently posted with the progress OF
events to detect the falsehoods with which
they are insidiously Piled. Indignant at
what they are made to believe is base in-
gratitude on the part of the Government,
they are ready to write home as one gen.

Messrs Editors:
In your paper Of the I'd instant, is az ar
ticle, which purports to have been written
by some one who has been in my office,
giving me notice not to let certain disloyal
persons from the Cumberland river have
permit for goods.
Such a notice was given by some persons,
There being three in the company,) whose
names are not remembered, and afterwards
one of the same persons returned to my Oh
fee, and urgently requested that the same
disloyal persons should be permitted to nave
goods this time, for fear if they were then
prohibited, suspicion might rest upon them
as informers, and thus their character would
be injured at home amongst their neighbors;
and to save the character of those Union
men, the persons said to be disloyal, were
allowed to buy some small bills of calicoes
hoop skirts, childrens' shoes, and other dan
gerous articles, in all amounting to say one
thousand dollars worth. am inclined to
the opinion that their amt much difference
as to loyalty in the characters of all the per-
sons concerned. The insinuation in the same
article that gold had some undue influence
in the transaction, dou't apply to any who
are employed in and about my Office.
