he wood and Lincoln Corresponds
euce.

We yesterday presented to our readers the cor
respondence between Mr.. Wood and President
Lincoln, in December last, relative to the will
ingness of the insurgents TO return upon being
granted an amnesty. Excess of tel-sraphic
matter ia our Yesterdays edition precluded com
ment The correspondence has not be ore been
published because of the Injunction of secrecy laid
by Mr.. Lincoln upon Mr.. Wood which iniunc-
ton was most honorably and faithfully observed
by him until the direct charge of fslsehood made
against him i'm the Presidents letter released him
from further obligation under it. We were very
confident, from what we knew of the circum-
stances, that the publication of the Presidents
Springfield letter would unearth the fox. We
have never credited Mr. Lincoln with extraordi-
harry cap scity but supposed him possessed of too
much shrewdness. or low cunning, to thus remove
an injunction which he ought to have known was
his most efficient shield from infamy.
We reproduce the following extract from his
Springfield letter:
"Now. allow me to assure YOU that no word or
intimation from rhe rebel army, or from any of
the men controlling il. in relation TO any peace
compromise. has ever come to my knowledge or
belief All charges and intimations to the con
trary are deceptive and groundiess, and I promise
you that. if any such proposition shall hereafter
come. il shall not be rejected and kept secret
from you freely acknowledge myself TO be
the servant OF The people, according TO the bond
of the service. the United States Constitution, and
that as such ! am responsible to them"
Here is a positive declaration that he has re
ceived "no word or intimation from the rebel ar
my, or from any one of the men controlling il,
in relation to any peace compromise" Webster
thus defines: 'Intimation--hint: an obscure or
indirect suggestion or notice; a declaration or re-
mark converting imperfect notice"
We now append the following extracts from
M. Woods letter:
ION the 25th Of November last, | was advised
by authority which | deemed likely to he well
informed, as we'll as reliable and truthful, that
the Southern States would send representatives
to the next Congress. provided that a fall and
general amnesty should permit them to do so.
. . o Now. therefore. Mr President, I sug
gest that a gentleman. with former political and
social relations with the leaders OF the Southern
revolt. may be SLOWED TO hold unofficial CORES
pondeDce with them on this subject. the CORES
~pondence to be submitted to you"
This Is not an obscure or indirect suggestion,
but a plain, frank statement He who commu-
nicated Il believed il to be based upon informa
ton drawn from reliable and truthful sources.
The utter improbability that those who thus adj
vised Mr.. Wood obtained their information from
the separate i~nsurgent States. compels the con.
cIusion that II was derived from members Of the
ConfederateG Government. from some of the linen
controlling the rebel army This assumption
closes Mr.. Lincoln's loop hole Of escape. II Mr.,

M Draft in Indiana.

WASHINGTON, September f2-There will be
no draft in Indiana under the present call. That
State has furnished 1883 three years troops.
Her quota under the calls of the Government in
ls6l-'62 was 62. $40, making an excess in favor
of the State of %, sol. The number enrolled in
the first class under the present draft is 134 1853.
One-ffth of the number is the quota called for
by the Government, namely, 26.s32. which is
l ,669 less than the excess furnished by the State
OF three years men in ls6l-'62.
Governor Morton to day accomplished the oh
ject of his visit to Washington in the settlement
of the question as above stated.

WEEKLY SENTINEL.
MONDAY, SEPT. IA.
A word to subscribers and Friends.

We call the attention Of the subscribers to the
Weekly Sentinel, and its friends throughout the
State, to the fact that a large number of sub
scriptions will expire within a few weeks. We
hope that the old subscribers will not only renew
their subscriptions, but that all who take an in
terest in the success of Democratic principles
will make an effort to largely increase the cir
culation of the Sentinel Our political opponents
are making use of every agency to misrepre-
sent the motives and actions of Democrats and
the Democratic party. and the best means to
counterfeit these efforts is the circuls ton of Dem
ocratic papers; but the press can not live without
material aid. and It's usefulness will depend i'm a
great measure upon the support it receives. Let
our friends throughout the State act as voluntary
agents in procuring subscribers for the Sentinel,
and the more liberal the encouragement we re
ceive in an increased circulation, the greater will
be our efforts for the success of u common cause

The news from Europe is not so peaceabIe as
we might w;sh. France is evidently preparing TO
carry out a complete programme of aid and as
sistance TO the Confederates: or $ organizing for
the possession Of Texas, under some pretense of
restoring 20 Mexico its ancient territory. Louis
Napoleoh's schemes are not easy to read. yet
enough may be foreseen, from the tenor of late
European news, TO fill the American mind with
foreboding; aud compel Us TO look forward to a
contest with France. more formidable than that
we have encountered during the isss txo years.
In the past, il has been the characteristic of the
Yankee to decl ue himself liable 70 whip all
creation" and when foreign nations have looked
for two years upon his efforts to suppress the
rebellion Of a portion OF his own kindred, they
naturally conclude these boastings vain. and in
cline 10 take advantage Of the quarrel for their
own benefit. If Louis Napoleon imagiDes that
our Government would lack volunteers to fight
the legions Of France in an attempt to give aid
and comfort to our enemies, he will count with
out his host; for, in such a Cause, free soldiers
uoold swell our ranks. until the FreDchmen we're
driven discounted from every inch OF territory

'magnanimous as TO express his gratitude
