Semi.Seeesslon In Indiana.

The following is specimen of the
action of our Legislators, which our
neighbor of the Democrat y calls the
right kind of talk"
WHEREAS, Civil war has existed in the
United States for the past nineteen
months or more, calling forth all the en-
ergies of the Government, and involving
in the fraternal strife all that j. sacred
and dear to the American people
u,so,rea, That while the President
persists in his Abolition policy, in the
conduct of the war, and sanctions the
indiscriminate arrest and Incarceration
of her good and loyal citizens, denying
them the privilege of the writ of habeas
corpus, Indiana l0iU nerer voluntarily

How are our soldiers to be paid if the

tract:
Who are the Friends Of the Soldier.
ION the first day, of the present ses-

given up no small part of our columns
to the soldiers. 1t is matter of no re-
greet that they speak plainly, decidedly
that they speak as soldiers. The Ad-
dress of the Indiana volunteers in the
Army of the Cumberland, and the speech
of Gen. Kimball at Indianapolis, to be
found on our first page, give US a clear
idea of the opinion of those who are
most interested in the return of peace,
aud have made the greatest sacrifices to
put down the rebellion. When the SOL
diers protest against armistices" and
compromises, what business have
white-livered home sneaks who, COM
paratively, suffer nothing and have moth
ingto fear, to be eternaHy harping about
such impossibiIties But one intelli-
gent reason can be given for their con-
duct, and that is, they desire to encourage
the rebels and thus prolong the war.
Having ascertained the opinion of the
soldiers concerning them, and how the
volunteers will be likely to vote when
they return to their homes, these seces-
sion sympathisers will use every instru-
mentality in their power to keep the
brave men as long in the field as posi-
Bile, that but very few may ever return.
The inference is most horrible, but the
evidence justifying it is almost irresisti-

What Col. Durham Thinks Of En-
cOUraging DeSePtiOn.

The following letter from Col Dun
ham of the 50th Regiment, to Governor
Morton, speaks for itself, and in such
language that no comment is needed to
explain or apply it Scoundrels and
traitors at home" will get no comfort
from Col Cyrus L. Durham:
Headers Cd Brig, jackson, Tenn,
February 4, 1862.
GovERNoR:-This will be handed to you
by Major Atkinson, of the glorious old
50th, who comes to gather up our desert
ers; l hope he will have all the aid and
influence you can give him. Vigorous
measures must be adopted or our army,
under the influence of the scoundrels and
traitors at home who are, by their letters,
scattering discomfort amongst our sol
diers, will be demoralized and destroyed,
and the scourge of this war will, in less
than six months, be rolled back upon the
fair fields of our own glorious North
west.
These men know not what they do,
and if they expect any general sympathy
in the army they are reckoning without
their host
l hope you will use your influence at
Washington to get a law passed requir-
ing all the L. S Marshals and their dep
uties, all collectors of internal revenue
and their deputies, to arrest all deserters
and lodge them at the nearest military
post, making it also penal offence, in
dictable in the District Court of the
United States, for any one to harbor or
employ deserter, knowing him to be
such, and that knowledge that the indi-
vidual had been in the service of the
United States should be palma .facie evil
dence of knowledge that he was de-
serter; making also all contracts with a
deserter void. Do not for Gods sake lei
