INDIANA LEGIsLATURE.-The following is en-
extract from the letter Of the correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune, dated indianapolis, March
9, 1858;
With yesterday expired the last day upon
which any legislation could be accomplished.
The Democrats refused up to the last hour to
make any compromise or give any promise~that
their revolutionary and unconstitutional mea-
suTes would not be pressed upon the house as
soen as a quorum was present. Owing to this
fact, the Union members did not return until
late last night, and legislation is now at an end
No appropriation bills were passed, and the
governor suddenly finds TIE benevolent institu-
tions, penitentiary and State government on his
hands and no money appropriated with which to
carry them on for the next two years. He an
nouneed his intention Of carrying them on, not
Wilhstanding the action Of the Legislature. He
has been equal 70 any emergency and viii doubt
less triumph in every undertaking. The Demo
Gratis are congratulating themselves that the gov
ernor will be compelled to call an extra session,
bat they are much mistaken.

The following note from Major General Cas-

So soon as the President issued the procla-

ceived in such manner that Secretary Chase,
who was present, and who had urged me to

A Most Provoking Hoax.

A telegram was received at this place Sat-
urday evening, to the effect that Gen Reyes
had gone up from Yorktown and captured
the rebel capital, while the confederate army
was all drawn away to the Rappahannock to
dispute the advance of Gen Hooker. 1t
looked like thing SO easily to be accom-
plished under the circumstances that many
were inclined to believe it. Sabbath morn.
ing two more dispatches came. each confirm
ing the one Of the previous evening, and
adding that the Federal flag was now waving
over Richmond, and that Gen Rockers army
had again crossed the Rappahannock.
What more was needed? Here was an
assertion, twice affirmed the next day, that
Richmond was captured. We can assure
our readers, that, although we did not fire
cannon as some of our neighboring towns
men did, our people went to church very
thankful in their hearts. A dispatch was
received Monday saying that the glorious
news received the day previous was prema.
ture, and although Richmond might have
been easily captured by Gen Reyes or any
other force after Stoneman had destroyed
the communication between there and Fred
esicksburg, yet the rebel capital was yet to
be taken. Was there ever a more provok-
ing hoax?

The Provost Marshal Appointments.

The Indignation Of the people of this state
is manifest at the appointment of the Pro-
vost marshals in the several districts. Capt
House expressed the minds of the majority
in his scathing letter which has been publish
ed in nearly all the papers of this state, as well
as some in Massachusetts,
For the consolation of those brave men
who have given health and limb for their
country's cause, and who made unsuccessful
applications for these appointments,we would
say that their friends in Massachusetts, have
been treated even more shabbily than in this
state. Merit will get no man positions but
political influence will ensure the most consul
mate rascal fat Office Here is what the
Springfield Republican says in regard to the
Massachusetts appointments
The politicians have got the better of
the soldiers in the provost marshal appoint
ments for this state. We notice but one of
the latter Capt Howe of Cambridge in the
list; while old and active politicians sweep
off the bulk. Col Hatch of the New Bed
ford district is the veteran and pioneer ex-
pressman, and his title IS joke, or militia
honor, and that is about the same Mr. Hall
of the I'd district is the longtime editor OF
the Taunton Wing; Mr. Shaw, who has one
of the Boston districts, is an active ward pol
iticlans, member of the Legislature for sew
eral years, and state director in the Western
railroad notorious for having been offered
500 bribe for his vote two years ago
Homer a. Cooke of Lowell, whom Gov
Boutwell, has selected for his district, is a
broken-down editor, formerly of Amherst,
Lowell and Lawrence papers; ID. II. Mer-
riam, who has represented Fitchburg on whig
and republican state committees these MANY
years, beats both bis soldier rival and Whit
ing Griswold of Greenfield while our own
district is represented by one of its mos;

Rascally.

The attempt to ease the people down over
the defeat Of Gen. Hooker by telegraphing all
over the country that Richmond had been
taken by Gen. Keyes, who marched his force
up from Yorktown, and that Gen. Hooker's
army had again crossed the Rappahannock
and was in pursuit of the enemy, was most
rascally trick and did immense injury to the
loyal cause. And the persistent avowal, for
several days subsequent, that Hooker had
crossed the river was still more puerile.
The loyal people can stand defeat and dis
aster, but such nefarious attempts to dupe
them will have the most disastrous effect upon
their confidence in the government and our
generals. Secretary Stanton gets most of
the credit for this unreliable news, as well a.
for suppressing the truth. Away with such
nonsense. Give US the truth as bad as it is
without any tinkering, but for PHYS sake do
not manufacture any more victories for the
army of the Potomac.

of the breaking out of the rebellion he was
pastor of the Congregational church at Mad
