The editor of the Delphi Journal recently
shot at Capt. Daily, of the 18th Indiana, in brol
at Delphi, and missing his aim shot himself
through the wrist
Col. @. l. DUSHAM.-A paragraph has been
going the rounds of the papers to- the effect that
Col @. Dunham, of the Fifteth indiana had
been reported to the War Department for dsmis
sal from the service for absence without leave.
We understand the report in question arose from
a misunderstanding of the cause of Col Dun
hams absence and that upon proper represen
tation of the facts to the Military Commission in
session at Washington. they were deemed entire
ly satisfactory. and Col Durham remains in the
service. We presume and hope Col. d will be
retained in his present position as commander of
this post
II is proper to say that Col Dunham was never
dismissed from the sersice, bat was simply asked
for explanations. which. when given. were, as we
have said, received as entirely satisfactory
the PARTISAN ATTACK on Mr. VOORHEES,
The Terre Haute journal thus refers to the re-
cent malignant partisan attack upon Mr.. VooR-
HEEs:
The whole account is malicious exaggeration,
and done for the purpose of injuring Mr.. Voor-
heeS. These men gloat over any Indignation
that may be heaped upon him. and VIC firmly
believe that they would rejoice in bis death.
For more than two years they have followed
him with iendish malignity and hatred un-
PARALLEL. Should he fall by the hand of violence,
the Express and the leaders of the radical party
will be reponsibe for it. There will be no trouble
in tracing the cause to it, proper source. No
soldier will attack a man unless put up to il
either directly or indirectly by lies poured into
his ears by INSCRIPTIONS partisrns. This is
well known fact
Let then one hair of his head be hurt and his
friends will know who occasioned it, and woe be
to the guilty ones. 1t will then be an eve for an
eve and tooth for tooth Let him he murdered.
care not by whom the deed is done, and one
universal cry of vengeance will go up from the
Democracy against the living hounds who have
sought his blood and caused his death
They need not then expect to shield them
selves behind the perpetrator. as the instigator of
murder is equally guilty il not more so. than he
who does The deed. The day of reckoning and
just retribution will then have come, and our
word for it, it will be terrible If this will not be
so will acknowledge that we have been mis-
taken in the temper of his friends.
We say then TO those who control the Express,
and the radical party in this locality. beware how
far you carry Jour persecution. We do this in
no spirit of threat or bravado. but we avert, if
possible. the calamities and horror that may en-
sue.
