general mass meeting of Hart and ad-
joining townships, was held at Union
Church, Hart township The meeting
was called to order by A. Chambers,
Esq.
Capt VIM. Reavis, of Evansville, then
took the stand and addressed the audi
ence at some length, making thrilling
speech, which went home to the hearts of
every lover of the Union cause He
spoke for one hour and half to a quiet
and attentive audience, moving many to
tears as he pictured 10 them the horrors
of this war and of the suffering and pri-
vations which our soldiers have to under
go-and then for them to be called
Lincoln Dogs" &C., &c He spoke of
some of the young men of Hart town
ship having deserted the old flag and
were now in Canada chopping wood at
81 per month, and closed by saying to
those Copperhead fathers who had in
duced their sons to desert, that his only
son had died in the service of his coun-
try and now sleeps beneath Virginia soil,
and he would not to-day swap sons with
them.
Having business of Importance l did
not remain to hear Mr.. Johnson speech,
which followed Immediately after dinner,
but if it was of his usual style, can as
sure you that it did not give much COM
fort to traitorous Copperheads.
Feeling quite well paid for my trouble,
l returned home satisfied that Old War
rick was all right. SPECTATOR

Editor Journal:
According to previous arrangements,
a large IdaSs Meeting was held in Camp
Campbell township, Warrick county.
Speeches were made by Captain
VIM. Reavis, of Evansville, and Hon.
Alvah johnson, of Boonville.
The meeting was one of the largest
and most enthusiastic ever held in that
township. After the meeting was called
to order, and prayer was offered up by
Rev, Thomas Davis, Capt Reavis took
The th,, = Jftnnd fin and made lengthy speech,
interest, and eliciting great applause
from his attentive hearers
After the speaking, we were invited to
partake of the fine dinner prepared by
the Union ladies of Warrick county
Diuner being over, all expressing their
great satisfaction as to the amount and
quality of the provisions, we were again
called to the stand, and were then ad-
dressed by Hon. Alvah Johnson, of Boor
vile. His speech was highly creditabl'
to himself and the occasion. He SPOKE
at some length, bringing home to tn
Copperheads proof from their own docu
ments of their disloyalty.
After listening to the patriotic speech
es made by the two aforesaid gentlemen
we came to the conclusion that if tn
salvation of the country depended upo
the efforts of the Union men of Warric
county, that it was safe.

Letter from INDIANAPOLIS.


My DEAR JOURNAL: The Railroad City
has on it's best attire, and is looking its
prettiest, as it welcomes the thousands
of Hoosiers, who come by every train, to
sleep in the chairs of the already over
crowded boarding houses, and leave their
superfuous postage currency with the
compIacent landlords The State Fair
fairly opened to-day. When 1 tell you
that the entrees of stock would be dis
creditable to an ordinary District Fair,
and that in every department there is an
unusual deficiency of articles on exhibi-
ton, you will be prepared for the well di-
gested opinion that the Fair is not worth
days journeyto visit it But there is a
reason for this, which will be made
known at the proper time.
Major General Hooker was in the city
from last night to this evening. Major
Gen. Howard, with a glittering staff, is
guest of the Bates House. His right arm
has been sacrificed to his country, and
he is understood to be on his way to a
point where he may lose his life also, IL
the defense of the Republic. | coulC
write you at length, of military move
ments of vast interest to your readers
but not without injury to the cause St
dear to US ALL
Evansville is well represented at Ind
annapolis. We do not appear, however
as exhibitors at the Fair, but as "looker
on in Venice, and among US all there
but one opinion as to its merits, and tina
opinion have already expressed. Th
show of agricultural implements is yer
good. There are the usual number {
Reapers, Mowers, Separators, &C., wit
the addition of patent hay fork fc
loading and unloading hay. The fork
moved by rope and puleys, and wi
+ lift about four hundred pounds of hay
a time. It attracted considerable atte
tention from the farmers who pronounce
it "good thing. The display OF fru
l. is meagre The grapes, especially, a
scarcely equal to those for sale in OF
st daily markets at Evansville. Vandf
l. burgh county should have been repl
sented in this department, and no
:. that next year some of our VII
. growers will send up their spe
mems. The rival sewing machines a
here in full force, and 1 was assure

s. of three separate machines, that eo

The fathers warned US that m ilitsry des-

1t seems from the action of the recent great
mass, meeting in Illinois that the people
have taken the alarm and are urging speedy
peace from fear of and in avoidance of this
and other dangers to our liberties. 1t is
much to be feared that the split in the
North, caused by Mr.. Lincoln's improper
measures, will precipitate US into an i'm
provident and improper peace. u.

The Shadow on the Wall.

By ALEXANDER. -. ...-s
Twas evening as the sun went down,
It's trembling rays had kiss'd the hall,
And ms they struggled to the west, s.
Had mirrored a rose upon the wall.
It was young, a tender flower,
Just bursting from its prison bud;
To lend its fragrance but an hour
g. To the zephyrs from the wood.
Again, new born day had come,
TIE trembling sunbeams cross'd the glen,
But the rose had faded from the wall,
And left ieafess, fowerless stem.
".- And so with life; 'tis gay and bright,
And sunbeams deck its radiant sky,
But hoary frost comes with the night,
And the gayest sometimes droop and die.
