A re esubIIcau indignation deeting
Against the Cincinnati Enquirer.

handbill was circulated throughout the city
yesterday afternoon calling meeting OF the citi
zens at the State House yard last evening. to ex-
press their condemnation of the course of the
Cincinnati Enquirer in an alleged insult to SOL
diers and their families. IL appears exception
was taken to an article which appeared in
that paper, on the 91h inst. commenting
upon the social effects OF the war. We have
not read the article, 50 we are unable to
Judge whether it deserves censure. or
was of that character which called for such an
expression of public sentiment II the Enquirer
reelected uniustly and unkindly upou the char
acter of either soldiers or their families. its course
therein is certainly reprehensible; but those who
have read the entire article say that such con-
s>ruction of It's language aud meaning is unjust to
that print If the object of the meeting was to
restrict the circulation of the Enquirer the course
it adopted will fail of its object In the present
excited state Of the public mind meetings like
that held last evening cannot be pro
ductive of good, and the only effect is to
embitter party animosities which now, uniortu
nateIv for the country. exist. We apprehend
that the attention which has been given to the
matter has been more to bring into notice the
evening papeT which gave publicity to the article
in question by making garbed extracts therelrom
than to express any respect or sympathy which it
or It's peculiar friends had tor the feelings of
soldiers and their families or in any way to vim
dicate the char icter Of either.

letter from fernando wood.
n the Edif0rs Of The Ereniao Post:


At meeting held at Stamford. Connecticut,
on Thursday evening last, ] said THAT propo-
sitons for an armistice or peace had been sub
mitted TO the President on the 9th December last,
which. had they been accepted, would have ter
minated the war by the first of April, upon a
basis satisfactory to the people North and
South"
In referring TO this statement you ask:
"Who made these propositions for an armistice
or peace the adoption of which Mr.. Wood pre-
tends to believe would have settled the matter
by All FOOLS day? We're they made by Davis
and his fellow Rebelsf- If so how does Mr..
Wood know anything about theml Has he been
in secret correspondence with the enemy? Or.
were they made by some OF fheanti-war men herel
Ifso, who authorized themr And what are the
terms of the propositions from which Mr. Wood
hopes so muchf If they are honorable TO the
nation--if they are such as patriotic Americans
ought to favor-why not make them public at
oncef"
To which say in reply, that the statement re.
ferred to was made by me deliberately. with full
and personal knowledge OF the facts, and that
am constrained from the publicity of them only
by the request of one of the principal officers OF
the Government When this nterdicfion shall
be withdrawn. | will cheeriuly satisfy your
curiosity. Very respectfully. &c.

Mobocratic Proceedings I'm Indiana-.
Democratic Newspaper Destroyed--
The Enquirer Threatened.


A telegraphc dispatch from indianapolis
coolly informs us that eight hundred paroled sol
diers, their way to Chicago, stopped at Rich
m0nd. Indiana, and while there destroyed the
office of the Jeffersonian, a Democratic journal
They threatened the Sentinel. the Democratic
organ of indianapolis. butthe military authorities
there placed guard to prevent disturbance.
We are then informed that a large Indignation
meeting was being held in regard 70 an article in
the Cincinnati Enquirer, insulting to soldiers
families
Although IL is not directly stated we suppose
the indignation isby the same soldiers who were
fresh from destroying one Democratic paper and
threatening another.
Now. we have but little blame for these mob
soldiers in comparison with the disgust and defes-
tation we feel for the covardly and incendiary
partisans who. for base purposes. melted them 70
these deeds of violence. so uubecoming a true
soldier They do not read Democratic papers.
They are not allowed so to do. and only know Of
their contents by the false and distorted comments
of lying demagogues in or out Of the Abolition
press.
As for the Enquirer nsulting soldiers families.
no one with any sense or fairness would put that
construction upon 'ng language thit ever sp-
peared Ia our columns. Those who do 80 have
mischieyous and mob purposes in view. Weun-
derstand the warfare that is being waged against
us. We know those VINO pull the strings, and we
know who are the puppets. No paper has more
respect for soldiers or their famies-no one has
said less in their paragement-than the En-
quirer. No paper has been 90 true friend Of
them as the Enquirer.
We. therefore regard with sentiments Of pro-
found contempt and adherence the false and
mock indignation which is excited against us and
other Democratic journals, and which is con-
stantly breaking out in acts Of violence and out
rage-T Cincinnati Enquirer.

Mobbing the Euquirer-Major Daniel
rcCOOrx.

Everybody knows by reputation the gallant
Major Daniel McCook. the father of the fighting
famil, of McCooks," they have been termed
in this war. He is advanced in years, but gal
lantry, patriotism and personal courage still
marked in him they were in early youth.
The Major was at the Walnut Street House on
Friday, and. while there, the following incident
occurred. He asked newsboy for the Enquirer.
A credture-fOr it would be an outrage upon hu-
manity to call him man-overheard the request,
and expressed his desire that the Office of the En-
qurer should be destroyed-eyeled to the earth
by mob violence The veteran Major, not ex-
actly understanding him, caused him TO reiterate
the wish. which he did in the mpst offensive terms
The Major then administered to him rebuke.
couched n the NEST severe language, winding up
with the remark that he was a coward, unworthy
of beinga citizen ofa country whose institutions
rested upon free speech and free press. and
upon the supremacy of the law. The knight of
the Secret Society replied to the angry aud indig-
nant Major by menace indicating that he in
tended to draw a deadly weapon upon him. The
latter not in the least alarmed. but, quick as
fash, leyeled his gun at the scoundrel Other
persons rushed in and che parties were separated.
Afterward the Major inquired the name of the
mobocrat, aud took his address, for the purpose
oil knowing more of him, and TO hold him to a
strict account for his behavior, if circumstances
again threw him in his way. He will probably,
however be careful to avoid the Major, and will
see to il that bis miserable cowardice does not
again draw upon him such a public rebuke and
such scathing denunciation.-[C Gin. Eng.

The Coming gCOnscriptiOn-Extra
nary Article from n Massachusetts
Republican Paper.

From the NewburyDort Herald Republican,
Massachusetts is bound to raise one regiment
OF colored soldiers. If she has to scour the whole
country 70 obtain them. We are recruiting in as
many as a half dozen States. Since the Govern
ment has determined to try the experiment of
black soldiers. hone TO see the regiment fill up
at once. Ii will be one thousand men in the next
quota from Massachusetts, and will put off and
diminish the draft up0n the whites i'm this State
We shall have no draft in Massachusetts till New
York has supplied her men. which, in the def
cheney existing and the 50 reeiments that 20 out
May 1st, will give some $4,000 to raise Then
Pennsylvania has half as many more; and other
States smaller numbers, even some of the New
England States not vet having come up in full
IL is plain that the Government will never at
tempt to conscript men in State that has prompt
" answered all demands, while any other State s
behind. Then, when it comes the surplus that we
are now making in c0lored soldiers will be so
much in our favor. Further than that, the col
ored men FIRST volunteering will be good soldiers,
and il Massachusetts is to have any Of that class,
let her have those that will do honor to her and
themselves
Wehave no great faith In the mass of the slaves
for soldiers; but among the coored men are
classes that cOnd furnish few regiments who
would equal any in the service We may take
house servants and others brought about the

DEsrRucrIos OF rHE RIoHMoSp JEFFEEsoSIAs
OFFICE The Office Of the Richmond JeffersOnan
was destroyed by ii mob on Sunday night. The
work was done by party of eight hundred
paroled Soldiers from Illinois and " sconsin. who
were passing through to St Louis. They were
doubtless inctell TO the act by the advocates of
mob law, who are active throughout the country.
We had various rumors of The atf'ir. but the fol
lowing letter from Mr. Elder. the proprietor Of
the office, to his son. gives the correct version
from one who ought to know:
RICHMOND March l6, 1868.
DEAR Soy: The Jeffersonisn Office was totally
destroyed by mob last night about 10 o'clock.
The presses were broken to pieces with sledge
hammers, Cases broken up. type scattered over
the floor and thrown out OF the windows, paper
thrown into the street: in fact. everything liter
alv destroyed.
An effort has been making TO accomplish this
thing for week or ten DAYS past and felt pretty
certain II would be done. the Abotionists
here have become perfectly desperate lately. A
fitting occasion offered yesterday for the cowardly
rascaIs to have the work done. About eight
hundred paroled soldiers arrived here from the
East on their way West to st. Louis. to 60, as
understand, into camp At that place. They are
prisoners taken ut Murireesboro, and have been
for sometime at Annapolis. Md The cars
brought them here about noon yesterday, and
they did not leave till this forenoon. Some of
the fellows here who have been trying TO get up
a mob against the Jeffersonian office, got some OF
the soldiers drunk. told them the Jetfersonia;l
was secession sheet" and all that sort Of
thing and got lot of them to engage in de-
stroying the office-a thing that the fellows who
urged them to do we're too cowardly TO do them
selves. In this way, Of course, the impression
will be attempted 10 be made that it was the
work of soldiers. OF course the soldiers knew
nothing about the printing Offices here. These
soldiers belong to Illinois and Wisconsin.
Yours truly, JAMES ELpEB.
