INDIANAPOLIS. April y
Encouraging Desertions in Column.
bus.

We learn by the Journal that for some
weeks past evidence has been accumulat
ing with the military authorities of Co
lumbus that some establishment or indi-
viduals were eng ged in assisting soldiers
to escape the lines and desert. Captain
bod has at last got clue TO the Copper
head r~ascalS. 1t appears that Mr.. AM
burgh and Mr.. Gundeshiemer, who have
clothing stores in the city. have estab-
lished a branch shop over in Franklinton,
at which soldiers were in the habit of
purchasing full suits of citizens clothes,
and then deserting. Capt. bod sent two
soldiers to the establishment to purchase
citizens clothing, directing them to bun
die up their blue coats" and permit
themselves to be captured by the Provost
Guard. They did so. thus making a sue
cessful expose of the house knowingly
selling goods to deserters.
Five men were arrested, and the goods
i'll the Franklinton store were seized and
removed as contraband. Mr.. Gundeshie-
mer gave bail in $4,000 and is permitted
to keep open shop" in Columbus. Mr..
Amburgh's store is closed.
The journal states that the occurrence
has awakened the l~iveliest sympathies of
the Columbus Copperheads. 1t is claim
ed that the clothes obtained by tne de-
serters were fee of cost! The question
now is-where did the money come from
to.pay for the new clothes that formed
this nice little scheme for promoting de-
sertions? According to the Journal GER
tain State House and Court House func-
of the Copperhead order seem
to be nightly disturbed by the proceed
ings.
The full penalty, under the strict order
of Gen. Burnside should be inflicted on
the guilty.

consolation if they do compromise this
unholy war, woe be to them, for the time
will come when they will suffer for their
disgraeeful and cowardly acts. When we

they try to discourage soldiers in the field
by saying, lit is useless. you cannot sue

But thank God it has affected the army
in a different manner from their expecta-
tions. 1t has reused our hearts to hatred

Soldiers Letters.
I'VE will continue the pub
locations of letters from soldiers
until the people understand the
position they occupy"
Warren Constellation, March 8.

The following is from a private letter
to C. A. Harrington Esq, dated Potomac
Station, Va, April II, 1853.
Uncle Abraham has been inspecting
the whole army in company with Gener-
al Hooker, and such cheering for them
them both as was given by both rank and
file seems TO inicate that the Army of the
Potomac will do something if they have
a chance. We meyer before had SO much
confidence in ourselves as we begin to
feel under such rigid discipline.
That raid across the Rappahannock at
Kelly's Fork was a perfect success on our
part, and showed hat there is fighting
blood in the men of this Division. They
made three desperate charges there with
the sabre and drove the rebels every
time, while rebel shells were bursting in
their midst.
Would to God that the Devil might
take those Copperheads at the North
who have lone so much to discourage our
army and to encourge the enemies of u
country, and fold them to his bosom, for
if there is n class of men more dear Il
the Devil thar another it must be those
traitors at home who are so Jealous in his
service, in such an undetermined manner:
but those noble minded men whom our
nation has aroused in her defense, will, |
trust, see these wrongs righted.

Wisconsin Democratic by 10000 /
I'm q Horn.1

The Democracy of Wisconsin have cleo
ted their Candidate for Chief Justice by
a majority of TEN THOUSAND. The
North-West is a little too remote from the
seat of corruption to endorse this wicked
Administrations Warren Constitution.
The Main Street bantam crowed before
he was out of the woods that time.
The latest news leaves no doubt of
Dixon's (Union) election by about four
thousand majority. The soldiers vote
gives Dixon 1910 majority out of l0,650
votes, with IS or so companies to hear
from.
The soldiers are just nea enough reb-
eldom to see the necessity of endorsing
the Administration. They are not to be
caught endorsing the copperhead party.
viii the Constitution undeceive its read
ers, by giving them the true result of the
election? We shall see.

Gustayus soldiers. Aid Society

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Ii is always en-
couraging to those enlisted in the same
cause. To read the reports OF the Soldiers
Aid Societies in the various townships OF
old Trumbull, as they appear from time
to time in your columns. Allow me TO
say IL word concerning ours.
The Soldiers Aid Society of Gustavus
was organized Sept. 18th, lSGl-each
member enlisting for three years, or du-
ring the war.
Thus far, money and materials have
been literally supplied 10y the members
and other citizens OF the place. while
warm hearts and ready hand. have Gar-
ried the work steadily on.
Most happily, the interest; Is general
as indeed it should he, since one-tcnth oi
our inhabitants have engaged to fight
our country's battles, and since there is
not II rebel among us worth naming.
During the first year of our enterprise,
we expended $3.50, 92-materials, chiefly,
being donated, and no expense being in
Cured for freight. Since, the donations
have been chiefly in money.
In the way of festivals, the Treasurer
reports the receipts since Sept. 24th, 90,
at S22l,5J. The nett proceeds OF the
Festival held on the End inst. amounted
to Sl4S,j9 Balance now in Treasury,
Sl5O,34.
Although the final issue of the present
contest has been delayed beyond what we
at first, even feared, we are not discour-
aged. We eagerly await the vindication
of our national strength and honor
Meanwhile we will do the little that we
can toward relieving the sufFerings OF
those men whose bravery and self-denial
are only equaled by their patriotism.

Mrs. GEORGE W. COWDEN, Pres.

From the Army of the Frontier.


The following is from Mr.. A. Moore,
formerly of this county, now Captain in
the I'd Kansas Regiment:
LEBANON, Mo-, April 18th 1868.
Ar. Edaor-Sir, l have just seen a copy
of the warren Constitution" Permit me
to say to your readers. that Esquire Palm

loyal, but war scourged State of Missouri.
The people here who have suffered so
much from traitors, would rise in their
might, and demand its speedy suppress.
sion; and they would make another de-
mand which Jefferson Palm would do well
to heed, or the eyes of all beholders
would be gladdened by the sight of a
traitors carcass dancing in the air.
When the loyal armies of the republic,
are e~ncountering~ dangers, and enduring
hardships of which he, and such as he
know nothing, when a rebellion more
formidable than any known to history,
threatens us with great losses in territory,
in population, and with interminable
wars hereafter, those allies of the enemy,
who are only restrained from fighting
openly under his banners by abject COW
ardice, but who still enjoy the protection
of our laws, merit the stern and just pun
ishment due for the crime of treason.
All over the North the seeds of civil
dissention, are being sown, by such sheets,
as this of Palms. They are prostituting
the honored name of democracy. for vile
and criminal purposes. They are pro-
longing the st~ereotyped howl of "Aboli-
ton" to divide and weaken the friends of
the Government.
see by this paper, that a score or two
of valiant warriors in Mecca nave become
alarmed for their personal safety" and
have had a meeting in the 'Oil Diggings'
to form a Constitution" These sover-
eigns who have in a string of insipid res
olutions agreed to go in for the jeff. Davis
Confederacy, grumbie because a Niger
Provost guard" has been established in
their midst. That was certainly n griey-
GUS sin, and they very properly resolve,
that they will not submit to it,"
Valiant and unconquerable warriors !
A battalion of the veterans who upheld
the national banner at Wilson's Creek, at
Old Fort Wayne, at Cane Hill, at Van
Buren,, and at Prairie Grove, would de-
light to relieve that Niger guard for a
little while.-just to render matters more
agreeable.
The task of whipping the treason out
of those ~miscreants, would be to us a
labor of love. And it may come to that
at last. The loyal Armies of the Republic
contemplate with scorn and Indignation,
the bitter partisan strife which is being
kept up in the North, by those who are
at heart disloyal, but who dare not open
ly avow their treason to the world.
The army Of the frontier would hail
with transports of joy the return of peace
but we know well that peace cannot,
and should not come, while the piratical
banner of our foes floats over a foot of
American soil. Let this be the under
standing of a united North, and the days
Of this atrocious rebellion are numbered.

Negro vs.. Comprehend.

No one can read a Democratic news
paper nowadays, without having it for
clbly suggested to the mind, by the tenor
of the articles in those papers, that the
Copperhead Democracy are in mortal ter
ror of being at no distant day subject to
Negro domination. 1t seems TO be their
chief purpose 10 write down the poor.
helpless, untutored African. and by
working on the baser passions and preju-
dices of the more vulgar whites, excite
a spirit of unyielding hostility to every
plan and proposition advanced in favor of
the amelioration of an unfortunate race
of people.
Negro equality is the raw-head and
bloody-bones, of the deceitful and
heartless leaders of the Democracy.
with which they frighten their SIM
pie, unthinking and deluded followers
into unreserved acquiescence in all
their low and wicked party machina-
tons. The masses of the great I'M
washed"are kept in a constant fever of ex-
element by the assurances Of their lead
ers that good will toward the Negroes is
necessarily Ill viii toward the whites =
that the white people of the United
States can only maintain their ascenden-
cy as a race, by keeping the black under
the iron heel Of despotic power. In fact,
the fippant expounders of Copperhead
Democracy, in effect say to their believers
that unless they combine and prevent
the Negro from standing erect among
men, by disqualifying enactments and
the imposition of grievous burdens, there
will be no p~erceptible difference between
the two classes. And in order te preserve
in its full proportions the technical differ
ence between the more stupid and illiterate
whites and the colored population, it is nee
essary to dig a very deep and wide statu-
tory gulf between the two parties.
We cannot hear a Democrat talk about
NEGRO equality, without feeling that he
is afraid the negro may, under equally
favorable circumstances, prove himself TO
be the better man Of the two. In spite
of all their boosted superiority, the Dem
ocrats are afraid to enter the arena on
an equal footing with the blacks,
and determine the question of
superior excellence. Hence they cry
keep him down! load him with chains /.
fetter his limbs. and cramp his intellect,
or he will be our equal! In the worlds
history, did patrician worth and elegance
ever sue so ~despairingly to be saved from
the rayages of plebian vulgarity? Poor,
demented, infatuated, negro-haunted
Democracy, The black ghosts of ten
thousand murder-ayenging slaves are on
your track, and you are destined to be
overtaken by that righteous retribution
from which there is no escape for the
wicked. 1t was a sorry day for Demo-
cratic peace and fancied security, when
they discovered that all that prevented a
darkey from being their equal, was the
fact that he was forcibly deprived of a
few humane privileges which they have
always been permitted to enjoy. Yet,
with all these disadvantages. they are
afraid the blacks viii soon be even with
them.

say and know that the soldiers are in bet
ter spirits anil more confident OF success
to-day than they have been at any time
since the beginning of the war. And
WHY should they not be? They are well
clothed, well fed. and times in the army
are daily getting better; and all we ask
is to be let alone. and the day is nOt far
distant when we will show the rebels that
they must come to terms and that once
accomplished, the northern traitors will
come in for a share. They are growing
about hard times, but they know nothing
of hard times and we would refer them
to Virginia as a specimen. They say we
are fighting for niggers, but we care not
if it were for dogs. if it would have a ten
dency TO weaken the rebels; and in too
many instances have we seen their use

Not one.-Copperkead paper.
These traitors judge others by their
own sentiments. They are laborlng hard
to excite bitter feelings against the con
scription law, to provoke if possible for
chile resistance to its enforcement, and
inaugurate civil war in II midst. 1t
would not have been necessary to have
enacted the new law had the Democratic
party been true to the country. 1t was
their opposition 10 the war their coun-
selling soldiers to desert, and their dis
couragement of enlistments, that render
ed a CONSUMPTION law necessary. They
only are the men to be blamed for it.
The draft made in this county last fall
included a number of Democrats, but not

tute. In many instances they were in
debted to the liberality of Union men for
the means that enabled them to do So
OF course no copperhead who can beg
$500 will enter the ranks.
Had there not been provision made in
the new conscript law for procuring sub
s%titutes, the semi-seeesh papers in the
North would have denounced it as a
thing unparalleled in the history of mod
arm nations In all our modern wars the
privilege of hiring substitutes has been
allowed. The price was not, however,
limited to a reasonable amount, but the
drafted persons were left to the mercy OF
those wishing to hire. Under the pres
ent law $500 is the highest amount that
can be taxed; but at the same time the
substitutes may be hired at any lesser
sum that the parties may agree upon.

Bread Riot in Richmond.
HEADQ'Rs ARMY OF THE PoToMAC,

HEADQ'Rs ARMY OF THE PoToMAc,
April IL.
A refugee who left Richmond last Tues
day has arrived in our lines. The bread
riot in hat city was witnessed by him,
and it caused the greatest CONSERVATION
among the authorities. The women were
the heads of families of working classes,
and were actually starving-many have
ing been compelled 10 beg on the streets.
A repetition of the demonstration is
feared, and every precaution is being ia
ken to avert it. The effect upon the
troops was very demoralizing, the men
being very clamorous and demanding
that their families should be fed.
