A Malicious Partizan Assault Upon
VIZ. voorhees,.

The court organ of yesterday gives another
evidence Of its partizan malice by disappearing
an interview between some soldiers and Mr..
yooRHKEs on the cars between Terre Haute and
Greencastle, ON Saturday evening last. The
indianapolis Journal and other abolition prints
some days ago gave currency to the report that
Mr.. VOORHEES, in = speech at Sullivan had re
tered to the soldiers as Lincoln dogs" "Lin
coin hirelibgs," and rs wearing a collar" Ii
is unnecessary for US to state that Mr.. VOORHEES,
never used such language. and that he never
uttered any sentiment which could be even tor
tnred into n disrespectful allusion toward the men
who are Sighting under the banner of the country
TO maintain its honor. its integrity and its vel
fare. Elsewhere we publish, over Mr.. VooR-
BEES own signature. his denial of those Infamous
charges. he denounced. upon the occasion re-
ferred to, in most appropriate terms. the editors
Of ~partizan prints like the Cincinnati CONNER
cial. the Wabash Express and the indianapolis
Journal. who are prostituting the papers under
their control to willfnl and malicious misrepre
sensations OF their political opponents. These
are the men whom Mr.. VOORHEES, justly de-

prefer the term. and as wearing a collar" to
express the depth of their degradation.
1t is true that Mr.. VOORHEES, was upon the
ears on Saturday on his way from Terre Haute to
Greencastle. There were a numb.r Of soldiers
on the train. Instigated by personal and par
tizan malice some evil-disposed persons repre-
scented to them that Mr.. ". had re-
ferred to soldiers in opprobrious terms,
and urged them TO retsliate by some act Of vio-
lence or personal i~ndignity. IL is untrue, how
ever, except in a single instance, that anything
which could be construed into an insult was ut
tered in the hearing Of Mr.. VOORHEES, The
officers in command of the squad were gallant
high minded gentlemen. and they were satisfied,
as were most of the soldiers. before the cars ar
rived at Greencastle, that the infamous language
attributed to Mr. VOORHEES, had been invented by
his partisan opponents to excite the animosity oil
the soldiers against him and bring about a per
sonal collision. Too cowardlv themselves tc
make such an attack. they endeavored to urge
innocent parties To deeds Of violence by the mosi
villsinous misrepresentation. Among the sol
diers upon the train were two who had beer
raised with Mr.. VooaHEEs and knew him init
-mately- They came into the car where Nj
voorHsEs sat, eonsersed with him freely, ant
we're ready 10 vindicate him from the aspersionI
Of his cowardly assaiIants. The statements o
the Journal. aud the telegrapbic reports sent from
here to the Cincinnati papers in regard to thu
conduct of the soldiers. are gross exaggerations
No com of tso or three waited upon Mr.

as charged by the Journal. that the "crowt

brave soldiers. The men who have gone forth 4
