ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEERS.

In pursuance of authority from
the Secretary of War, under date Of
September 18th, 1868, four addition
al regiments of Volunteer Cavalry,
and seven regiments of Infantry will
ba raised in this State for the United
States service, to serve for three
years or during the war.
The Congressional Districts will
be called upon to furnish five CON-
panies of cavalry each, and seven
companies of infantry.
The privilege will be extended to
any of the Districts TO increase the
number Of infantry TO a full regi.
ment S402 bounty will be paid to
veteran volunteers" 1902 to all
others enlisted and accepted.
The official order says "every pre-
caution should be used TO prevent
the enlistment of persons unfit for
service from physical disability, or
minors under Is years OF age. Any
one who shall recruit boys under Is
wears Of age will be charged with
their transportation and subsist-
ence."
The cavalry will all rendezvous at
indianapolis, the Infantry Of this
District at Richmond.
We make these extracts from
General Orders of the military
authorities of the state OF Indiana.

TERMS OF PEACE-

Some journals talk about arrrang
ing terms of peace with the rebels
as though, in order TO a cessation OF
war, 1t was necessary to treat with
the rebels, and thus acknowledge
and recognize them as a power. But
we are not at war with nation, we
are defending our national lie against
a set Of insurgents who took up arms
and made war against our govern
ment and laws. The only way IN
which that war can cease is by the
rebels throwing down their arms, re.
turning to their homes, and submit
ting to tue laws.
When they do that hostilities stop
at once.
Under our system Of government
there IS no occasion for treaties or
arrangements, for whenever the reb-
els-convinced Of the hopelessness
of their bad cause-are 40 longer
willing to fight, cease to fight, and
disband their armies, that moment
the supreme law OF the land will
again be observed in the whole coun-
try, and peace will be preserved.
No doubt the rebels would be most
happy to treat with us. Mr.. Ste
phens and Mr.. Ould were quite rea-
dy to come to Washington the other
day. Their reception would have
been the best recognition they could
have, and this little ruse of Davis
would, had it been successful, have
entitled Napoleon at once to ''recog-
nize the Southern Confederacy," and
justify the act by our own con
duct. The reply made to Mr. Ste
.phens was eminently wise and prop
er: The customary agents and chan
nels are adequate for all needful mil
itary communication and conference
between the United States forces and
the insurgents.

A letter from a soldier In the

before the battle OF Chicamauga,
gives some items of interest, from
which we extract the following:
"The hills are full of iron ore,
and the rebels made great prepare
tions to manufacture iron out of 1t.
They erected about twenty furna-
ces to melt the ore in, put up some
foundries and built very extensive
cabins for the workmen to live in,
supposing that they were so far
away down in Dixie that the YAM
KEGS could never reach them.
These valuable acquisitions have
fallen into our hands, and the reb-
els can give up all hopes of MAX
ing cannon and ball to shoot US
with.
The most of the boys are ont In
some secessI onist's potato patch.
In some patches are five or SIX
Yankees to one hill of potatoes.
True it makes the rebs look mighty
sour, and causes the women to
weep bitter tears at the loss Of their
almost sole dependence for them.
selves and children the coming
winter. These experiences cause
the rebels to feel the consequences
OF their wicked rebellion. Had
they not rebelled they would now
be in the full possession of their
negroes and sweet potatoe patches,
and there would be among them no
Yankee army to molest or make
them afraid. Some rebels are In
favor and talk of reconstruction, if
they can only be allowed to possess
their negroes. But we soldiers are
opposed to that now, though we

to this point, | will attempt to give
an outline OF the appearance Of the
State Fair Of Illinois. Decatur is
the county seat of Macon county, is
situated on the Illinois Central and
Great Western Rail Roads 1t con
tains population of 5000; is sur
rounded by as beautiful a country as
you could wish to see, and has the
appearance of being a Hce town, es-
pecially at this time The weather
is as bright and beautiful as human
heart could desire, the air is soft and
balmy. The sun shines in undimin-
ished splcndor, and the sky looks as
calm and peaceful as the dreams of
'sweet sixteen" Surely
alt is the happy Autumn time.
With days of haze and nights ofglory.

The Fair Ground is distant from
the town about two miles. The en-
closure contains 40 acres. The four
sides vary, from being gradually un-
dulating to moderately high bluff
or hill, gently sloping towards the
centre; and are interspersed with
forest trees, while the centre is near
ly level. At the foot of the Southern
slope of bluffs, springs of rare beau
ty and pure water gush out in great
abundance; four or five of these, at
nearly equal distance apart, are taste-
fully improved; and afford a suGi-
cheney of water for all purposes re
gardless of numbers. On entering
the gate, which is surmounted by a
beautifully decorated arch, the beau
ty and magnifcence of the whole
ground, as we'll as the improvements,
are in full view. First comes the
agricultural and mechanical hall

by ascending bluff you ap-
proach building two stories high,
which is used for the purpose of
fruit, flowers, natural history and the
fine arts. You are now on the wes

The attendance on yesterday, be-
ing the second day of the fair, was
not very large, and many began to

both in entries and attendance.

A more damning falsehood never was palm

are not the radical and necessary enemies of
all democrats.
No two things in nature are more irreconcll-

than despotism and democracy. One or the
other must perish, wherever they come in

Slavery is the darkest, densest form of des-
potism.
The Southern Confederacy. founded on
slavery. begotten Of slavery, living for, aiming
at, tending towards and ending in nothing else
but slavery, already presents the world, in
this third year of its nascent existence, with
the hercest and most nnmitigated form of des-
potism that there is this side of Dahomey. Its
European abcttors, with Louis Napoleon at
the head and the London Times at the tail,
are the dregs of Europe's etFete despoiic class.
But these Northern sympathizers with. and
aiders of, the precious combination. forsooth
we are told are Democrats" !
