By Napoleon B. Risingtr. Of Pri ceton
Ind. deliJered I. the camp Of the I7th In.
diana, near Decatur, Alabama, July 4th,
1862.
INDIANA SOLDIERS One year and four
days ago, this hour, the l7th Indiana regi-
ment, one thousand and forty six men, left
Indiana. We bid adieu to father and moth
er, sister and brother, the pleasant freside,
and the society of our friends-left our be-
loved Indiana, perhaps forever, and turned
our faces toward the enemy. The stars and
stripes, the emblem of our liberty, our pro-
gress, and our civiliz ltion, 1oated above us.
and to defend that proud flag we each and
all have consecrated our lives The Gov
ernment that, less than quarter of ceutu-
ry before, the wisest and best body of states
men that ever convened in any country had
established that had given us prosperity
and happiness; that caused peace and plen-
ty, with an equal step, to enter the Gotta
ges of the poor and the palaces of the rich;
that had given protection to our citizens ia
every land where civilization reaches, and on
every sea where commerce floats, had been
attacked by band of traitors. That proud
ensign had been torn from the forts aud ar
senalS all over the South, and trailed and
trampied in the dust by men high iu au-
thority, and the rebel banner, the rattle
snake ensign, hoated from the capitals of
nine States, and the laws were defed and
trampled upon in one-third of the territory
of the Government. Half :he officers in
Congress, the Cabinet, and in the army and
navy V TEeEsa qsfh1ip sfh1ips off to distant seas, and
\ Zen in their possession half the property
of the Government. Our citizens became
alarmed for our safety, and the friends of
liberal institutions in Europe trembled for
our interests. Our national force of $4,000
men at Bull Run, after losing 1000 killed
and wounded, were paLic-stricken, and
made one of the most disgIaceful retreats
ever known in all history. On the 2lst
day of February, l846, France was quiet at
home and in peace with her neigbbors, and
the national finances were never in a more
PROSPEROUS condition. But only three days
passed by, when a hostile soldiery were
laundering at the gates of the palace, and
Louis Phlllippi, the King was fleeing his
country in disguise, and the Oldest mon
archy in Europe was blotted out of exist
ence So, on the lst of April, 1861, We
were at profound peace, and the natisn in
most prosperous condition; but only three
months passed, when the earth shook. be-
meath the tread of armed men, and the au-
thorities of the Government, from the Pres
ident and Congress down to the lowest Off
Ger under them, sat uneasy at the national
Capital.
Such was our national conditioH in July,
1861.
For series of years we had progressed
so rapidly, and arrived at SO high degree
of national greatness, that other nations
envied our glory and feared our power, SO
that our flag was sure protection to our
citizens. wherever business or pleasure
called them. When Mexico insulted our
flag by infringing our rights, we marched
an army to their Republic, drove the Mexi-

To the Editor Of The 1leghanian:
| was surprised at seeing in your issue of
Sd April, IL communication from "a Republi-
can defending Senator Cowan's speech on
the COnfiscation Bill. In the course of his
remarks, he asks: "ShalI we stand or fall
bv the Constitution ~ AS also: "Shall n
large class of persons be deprived of their
property without any presentment by a Grand
Jury, and without any trial by Petit Jury
in Court?' Now, is it not absurd to talk of
bringing all the Rebels before a Grand Jury
and into Court? How can you arrest and
try them, when, as band of outlaws, they
repudiate the Constitution itself? / grant
that. had President buchanan done his duty
us Chief Magistrate and sent sufficient force
to South Carolina NJ the commencement of
the Rebellion, the leaders might have been
arrested, and had trial by Jury But now,
after thousands OF lives have been sacrificed.
ii is too latei
To meet the present case, the Constitution
saws that the President shall be the Grand
Jury and United States Attorney, and the
Army the Traverse Jury and exccutioners-
There is also a law in force providing, as q
punishment for certain crimes that the prop
erty of the convicted be forfeited to the Gov
ernment. Why, then, should not the proper
ty of Rebels be confscated to help pay the
EXPENSES of the war?
/ hope that Cowan and your correspondent
are not sympathizcrs with the Rebels
