The Cincinnati Enquiry (ntense tory
has the following characteristic notice
Of the gallant General Milroy, now seat
tering the rebels in Western Virginia:
Milroy is small potato abolition poll
tician from Indiana, whose warfare IS
principally upon the democratic press
and upon unprotected women and chill
dren in Western Virginia. There is IN
deed heavy reckoning for all such
Generals who have invaded private
rights. They will be called to account
for it, and will be made to suffer for the
outrages they have perpetrated upon IN
dividnal liberty.
OF course. 1t matters not what an
officer has been, if he is now engaged In
Furnishing reoels he must expect the de-
nunciations of the Enquirer. 1t he de-
sires its approval he must either conduct
his operations so as not to inJure the
enemy, or permit the rebels to destroy
his own men. In either case the En-
ouirer will become his most enthusiastic
admirer. All the officers who were demo

The Twentieth Indiana at Frede-
rickSbuFg.

EDS. GAzETTE:-In all the accounts
of the great battle of Fredericksburg,
have not seen a single notice OF the con-
duct of that gallant and noble regiment,
the Twentieth Indiana. Here, as IN
every other instance where 1t has been
tried, (and it has been tried often and as
severely as any,) it acquitted itself no
bly, 1t advanced on double-quick to
supply the place of the terrified and re-
treating PENNSYLVANIA Reserves. The
air was thick with shot and shell. The
bursting of the she'll, the whizzing OF the
shot, and the roar of cannon was appai-
ling. The loudest command corld not
be heard unless you were close BESIDE
the officer. Horses and men were fall
ing in every direction. And yet, IN the
face of this tremendous fire and the fly
ing Reserves, the regiment advanced
with enthusiasm. When within range
they poured in volley, and instantly
charged the advancing rebels, taking
MANY prisoners and driving the rest
back to their rihe-pits and breastworks.
So great was the devotion of the regi-
ment that every man went IN whose
health or duty did not absolutely forbid.
The chaplain, w. c. Porter, calamity
shared the dangers Of the hour, riding
into the battle beside the Colonel, thus
example. Heroic in spirit as he IS
faithful and kind, he cheerfully shares
the dangers as well as the hardships Of
the regiment The Twentieth owes much
Of its reputation to its excellent officers,
and to none more than to the faithful
and noble chaplain. L. ID.

ORGANIZATION OF THE NEXT House.
There begins to be some anxiety respect
ing the organization Of the next House
among the Republicans and Democrats.
especially with reference TO men profess
ing to be elected members of Congress
from southern cities and districts belong
ing to States not yet under our military
control The Clerk of the present
House, by usage, perpares the roll of
members, and that list of names consti-
tutes the House, so far as the organiza-
ton is concerned. For instance, if Mr..
Ethridge puts upon the roll the name of
a so-calIed member from Norfolk, and
others from North Carolina, South Car
DINA, New Orleans, &C., &c, he may have
it entirely in his power to organize the
House. It.these men are Administra-
ton men they will give the majority to
the AdmlnlstratiOn-if Democrats or
pro-slayery men they will give it to the
opposition.

LIFE IN WASHINGTON Mr.. Colfax,
member Of Congress from Indiana,
writes from Washington to his paper,
the South Bend Register:
Washington is becoming more and
more Northernized Instead of the list
lessness and stagnation which seemed to
characterize it few years ago, it is now
all hustle and activity The new blood
in its veins appears to have given it new
life, and new era Of prosperity seems
to have opened before it. Not only in
branches of business affected favorably
is this apparent, but in all that marks
the advancing step of a growing city.
Rents have gone up 100 per cent in the
past year, and vacant houses are not to
be found. !. If boarding house- keepers do
not retire rich in short time, it will be
because they do not know what to do
with their money. l know member
from Indiana who is paying SIP per
month for quite unambitious quarters,
and is daily congratulated by fellow
members at the reasonable rate which
he lives You can imagine what is paid
at Willard S, where the profits Of the pro-
prietors reach unto thousands daily, and
you would scarcely credit it if told you
that they have, for their best room, de-
clined accepting a members entire
monthly pay for the board OF himself
and family. But such is the fact
