The Union Meeting at Indianapolis
the other day is said to have numbered
thirty thousand persons. Gov. Andy
johnson, Of Tennessee, made the great
speech Of the day, aud occupied his au-
dience four hours. He reviewed the
history Of tire rebellion from 1880 to
1865, and made up terrible indictment
against the oonspirators., He arraigned
the secesh sympathizers of the North,
whose suicide, aud folly and trsasona BILE
machinations had encouraged the rebels
to a-reaswA Of their efforts in an unholy
cause. He dweit upon tho sufferings
and prosecutions Of the Union men Of
East Tennessee, and said that if the Gov
eminent did not como quickly to their
relief he would call for volunteer force
frou indisps, Illinois and Ohio and plan,
the I'D aag upon Cumberland Gap and
the AQue of Brownlow. He uttered Z
solemn waning against an armistiee % 4

MoSouAoT JUNCTION, Nd, Juno 20,

the late unfortunate battles at Winchester,
On Saturday, Sunday, and Monday last, the
18th, 14th, and 18th insts.
They represent the battles as q terrible dis
aster to our arms Gen; Milroy had under
his command two brigades, Which was in
creased to three On the arrival Of Col. McRey-
The main facts respecting the desperate
lighting Of our troops on Saturday and Sun
day, and their basty retreat on Sunday night.
Wnen they encountered heavy force in their
rear On the way to- Martfnsburg, have already
been published, but the serious loss we met
VIII hns 1; not been made known to the public.
Gen. M1lroy had about Z, 900 men under his
command, and out Of this number only !. 500
or 600 have reached Maryland Heights, and
probably 500 or 400 escaped to Hancock or
Cumberland. Upwards Of one half Of his
command was Killed, wounded, or taken pris-
one1s. The 87th Pennsylvania infantry Tegi-
ment behaved nobly IN the fight and lost
heavily, as did also the 18th and 18Th Penn

and al the private baggage Of the officers and

The fugitiTcB came into Maryland Heights,
struggling in small parties, with nothing but
what they carried on their backs, besides be-
Ing hungry and tired out with three days
fighting and marching. Many of the officers
had their wives WITH them in Winchester.
and were compelled to leave them to the ten.

The officers and men are loud in condemua-
tion Of Gen. Milroy, whose bad management
they charge rs being mainly the cause of the
disaster.
Officers and men concur In awarding to the
brigade and regimcntal commanders the high
est degree Of pratse for their bravery and cou-
rage under The trying circumstances.
The dead and wounded were left on tho
field and along the roadside as they fell tho
latter without surgical attention, either by
the rebel surgeons or our own. The whole
scene is described us one of the most humili-

XaE G4NDA14NNs
The crisis Of the war has come. The
i. rebels arc concentrating their whole aVaiia-
: bic force On the Potomac, with the view Of
crushing Rockers army, capturing Wash
ington, Baltimore and Philadelphia, and
thereby securing recognition and compell-
ing IN acknowledgement Of theirindepen-
dcnce. To this end Vicksbu.g and Port
Hudson are abandoned to- their fate. Their
garzisons are directed to hold out to the
last extremity, but no relieving army is
gent to their aid:
"A large portion Of Braggs men have,
been silently withdrawn from the front Of
Rosecrans' army and dispatched to rein
, force Lee. A part OF the gar1isons Of Mo-
bile, Charleston md Savannah have also
been Forwarded to Lee The rebel troops
pf North Carolina have gone to the same
field Of operations. It is no exaggeration
10 state that Lee has not less than 130, 900
effective men ut command. The army un-
dr Hooker is reduced to less than half
+: The force he had three months ago, by the
expiration Of term Of service, by divisions
:: sent West, and By battle and sickness. But
TO his force may be added what troops are
nnder Gen. Schcnck, and the militia force
gathering from Pennsylvania and New
York. How formidable will be the latter
remains to be seen. Such is sthe power with
which the invasion Of Lees army is to be
resisted and repe11ed.
But, On the other hand, the rebels arc
Teaker in the Southwest than at any time
Tor two years past, mud the Federals are
stronger In few days more, Vicksburg
will fall, and its $4,000 defenders will be
captivcs. An army Of 100000 men will
then he at perfect liberty to operate On
other points, Grant will be able to rein
force Banks and help. him to take Port
Hudson, while with the residue of his
great army, he can clean the rebels out Of
mississippi, and also dispatch powerful
column, il necessary, to the help Of Hooker.
Alter Port Hudson falls into our hands
Cen Banks will have leisure and opportu:
nifty to complete the work Of clearing
Louisiana Of rebels. Meanwhile the work
Of organizing colored troops Will 60 On
with accelerated rapidity. There is moth
