Col. Stone in Warren County.

The rejoicing in Indianoa this af-
ternoon. on the reception Of the news Of
Col. Stones nomination, was immense.
The news Of the final result OF the ballot
ing did not reach us here until between
one or two O'Clock this afternoon. We
were in a perfect fever Of anxiety aud
suspense, when some one IN the street
exclaimed "Hurrah for Stone - I'm
mediately there was rush OF the popu-
lace into the street, when, on learning
the news, they raised such loud aud
spontaneous cheers as awakened the
slumbering echoes Of the mighty metrop-
oils OF Warren County, reverberating
from street TO street.
For ourselves, We fell peculiar in
terest in the matter. We have seen
service under Col. Stone. We have
been amid the storm Of battle with him.
and we know his gallantry and his devo-
ton to his Country's cause. His valor
on the battle field is only equaled by his
indomitable energy and his remarkable
moral courage, which seems to rise in
proportion to the difficulties that sur
round him. We stood with him on the
bloody field of Shiloh. and saw him un-
der the hottest fire, give his commands
with az much GOODNESS aud self-posess-
ion as If on dress parade. But We
have seen him amid more trying scenes
than even the battle field. We were
somewhat over six months q prisoner 8,
J war with him. During all that tine n,
endured all the hardships and. priys,ion,

and disease--N th unvavering fortitude

Mr.. GRANVILLE regretted that the Can

told him that for one dollar he would show
him whore the horses were X. accompa-
MED him and failed to return. Greer was
a.certaned TO have been at St. Louis and
sold horses here, and lie was soon seized
by his neighbors on suspicion ofboth horse
theft and murder. They took him to a
tree and hung him up, then lowered him
and babe him confess. After few opera
tons of the kind, he showed them the spot
where the assassinated body Of Kleppinger
lay concealed about two miles from his
house with bullet hole through his head,
the corpse most schockingIy mulila:ea and
the parts scattered about. 1t was evident
that Greer had accompices, and he at last
gave their names as-Benton and D.
Jarrett. These men were jailed. and The
matter was agitatel until Wednesday last
when party Of citizens gathered, forcbly

More Negro Equality.

The Milwaukee Nescs says, with refer
ence to the recent Negro Proclamation,
4" the President has issued another negro
order, characteristic of his whole policy in
conducting the war. I, declares in sub
stance that negroes are the equals of white
men, and that every white rebel prisoner
shall be treated precisely ike negro pris-
oners belonging to the Federal army, a
white rebel to be enslaved for every negro
captured and held as slave.
"By the local laws of the Southern
States, made without conflict VIII, the F.
eraI constitution: negroes m..v be held as
slaves: This l--:riul right is recognized by
.ne constitution of the United States. A
slave enlisted in the federal service when
taken back as prisoner is still slave by
virtue of laws constitutonallv in force
within the rcbeliious states. For our gov
ernment to insist that negro slaves and
white prisoners shall be placed upon par,
is to insist that the Confederate govern
ment shall repeal the local laws of the reb-
ell states-an act which that government
has no power TO commit if it would. The
President might as rightfully declare tfst
rebel prisoners should be treated as the
rebels treat the mules they capture
