Democracy Of Indiana.

How the leaven infused by the war
measures of Gen. Hascali is working
among the people may be inferred from
the fact that $4,000 people met at Indian
apolis en- " edneseay to eoudemn the war
policy Of the administration, Gen Hascalis
order to the contrary notwithstanding.
Hon. D. w. Voorhees, presided esey the
meeting Able speeches were made by
Mr.. Voorhees,; Hons Richard I. Merrick
and john r. Eden, of ILL.,; L. S. Senator
Hendricks, Of Ind, and several other gen.
tlemen; and resolutions taking high
ground were adopted. StreNSous efforts
were made by the military to provoke a
collision. Gen. Hascall surrounded the
convention with troops, and trained two
batteries of artillery upon it. Citizens
were arrested, and marched at the point
of the bayonet to the military headquar:,
ers During Mr.. Merricks speech attempts
were made to disturb the meeting; and,
when tho resolutions were presented, a
gang Of soldiers rushed for the platform, to
prevent their passage, but were hurled
back by the pt opIe Throughout all these
proceedings the democracy maintained an
undasnted front, expressing their opinions
| freely and fully in regard to the acts Of the
administration.

Union Party ut tho south.

Union Party ut tho SOUTH
There is and has been for months inter
course enough between the North and
South to enable uS to form pretty accu-
rate judgment of the condition Of politics
in the confederacy. All accounts agree
substantially with the statement which We
see published in the Philadelphia Inquirer
by a rebel prisoner recently held at Co
lumbus, an intelligent gentleman, grad
uate of the University Of Va, lawyer by
profession. He says there are three par
ties in the South. One party, "a consid'
cradle party" to use his own language, is
in favor of the old Union upon any terms.
Another party is in favor of the Union
with guarantee for what they consider
their rights in regard to slavery. The
third, and the most powerful, being sus.
tanned by the government and its influ.
ence, i. utterly opposed to any union
with the north, and will agree to nothing
less than absolute soathern independence.
The statement concludes with the as
sertion that in Louisiana, Mississippi Ala
bama, and indeed all the southern states
except South Carolina. Georgia, and per-
haps eastern Virginia, the two first Of
these parties outnumber the out and-out
unconditional Secessionists. The repres-
siou OF the government, however, is so
great that they are wholly pewerless and
seldom heard.
On this statement: the proper question
at the north would seem to be, shall this
party bent on absolute disunion ultimate
ly triumph, or shall the north come to the
aid of the Union men at the South and
overthrow the ultraists there. The sub
jugation. negro liberation, no-Cnion with
Shareholders policy Of the administration
ignores all Union sentiment in the South,
and can stop short Of nothing but total
subjusation or total humiliation Of the
white race. Is this policy just, humane,
or practicable?
1t is SO hideously barLarous and insane,
that it il difficult to find sufficient mo-
tive for it. 1t can be accounted for only
on the basis Of speech made in the n. y.
Legislature few weeks ago, and ascribed
to II. J. Raymond. Speaking of the pro-
per policy Of "us abolitionists," in order
to realm power, he said:
Abolitionsm is played out. It may
last Lincoln's time out, but If we hold on
till then, there Is not one of US living that
will ever get into public life again. weed
is getting wisely out of the scrape. Gree
ley is fool enough to hold on. The ONLY
HOPE there is for any Of us is to KEEP on
THE WAR until the Union is SO thoroughly
split up that it can never be got together
again a reunion with the south on any
terms is death to US all.
There it is Destroy the South, free all
the negroes, or let the Union slide, for to
save the constitution as it is and restore
the Union as it was, is death to all our
hopes of ever again getting office, and Of
fee to US is of more Importance than the
salvation Of the country. That 10 exact
" the abolitionism that now engineers the
administration and the war.

We read very little of the newspaper

enough, however, to satisfy us that the

The court martial IN the case OF Hon.
c. L. Vallandinshanu, at CINCINNATI, FOUND
him guilty-not Of treason, For indeed OF
ANYTHING else to which tkey could give .
name, bat of having said some things in q
speech which were calculated to bring
the war policy of the administration into
disrepute," and they sentenced him to i'm
prisonment in some military bastle dur
ing the war" Judge Lenvitt. Of the L. S.
District Court, to whom Mr.. Y. applied Tor
a writ Of habsds corpus, refused to grant it,
making the strange decision that the pro-
clamation OF martial law depended for le-
sality OH the necessity OF the case, and
that the military commander was the on
II Judge Of that necessity. Under such a
decision, every popinjay colonel or lieu
tenant who may happen to be in COM
mand of a post anywhere, holds ia his
hands power over the citizen IS absolute
as that of the Autocrst Of Russia.
Gen. Burnside decided that Mr.. '.
should be sent to Fort Warren for con-
finement. but the President has modified
the decision. so as to send hin, beyond our
lines. The question now arises, will the
rebels receive him? Mr.. V. in all his

denying the legality Of the proceeding

TIE AcTrAL Loss-A telegram from
Washington on Monday stated that the
loss of lockers army in the recent en-
gagement would foot up $4,000, exclusive
of prisoners. Washington dispatches,
however, are deplorably unreliable, and
this seems to be one of the usual charac-
ter An official statement has been made
OF the loss in Gen. Sickles' corps, fro:u
which it appears that the total killed,
wounded, prisoners and missing MAS 4.ll2.
The bruut Of the battle III Charlottesville
was borne by this corps, and It's loss was
fully eqpal to that of all the rest Of the
army except Srdgwick's corps. Figuring
on this basis, with semi-offical report from
the last named corps. the New York Time,
figures us our loss in the last battle at
1000, in which are included nearly 5000
prisoners.

erner writing communications in the Ma

born in the South, always resided there,
and has been in FIVE Of the seeded States
within the last six months, AYERS that the
majority Of the southern people are really
opposed to secession and rebellion, but are
held down by the strength Of the military
power erected under the auspices Of the
rebels. Nor Is this to be wondered At, in
view Of what we know to have been the
con,pulsion, practiced all over the South,
to crush out the Union sentiment. and
