be preserved Internationally, and that the
soldiers Of Indiana will devote their means
and their lives to the Union.
The resolutions were drawn by Col. Hun
ter of the SD Indiana regiment, Democrat,
who; with Col Goodin, of the 22d Indiana
and other prominent Democrats, made violent
speeches denouncing treason in the Indiana
legislature and at the North. They also
pledge themselves that there is not an Indiana
soldier whose garments wetted the field of bat
tie who will not endorse the resolutions, and
who will not fight the enemies of the Union,
North and South, to the death.
The resolutions will be acted upon by each
regiment, and forwarded, through Z committee
of officers, to the Indiana Legislature. Col.
Goodin denounced the Indiana Battcruuts as
damned rascals.

THE NEWS,

We have no war news of Importance to
chronicle this week. The movement of Gen.
Burnside's army, noticed last week as in pro-
gress, proved failure in consequence of "a vio-
lent storm that set il and made army move
meuts on a large scale a matter of i'm posi-
bility.
Gen. Burnside has at his own request been
relieved from the comm md of the Army of the
Potomac, and Gen. Joselh +. Hooker has
been appointed his successor. Gen. Hooker is
a Distinguished and brave off ;er, AMI it is to be
hoped that under his lead .rship the m;sortunes
that have attended that spen1id army almost
uuif if)rmly from its orgln zrtion TO the present
time will have an enl AMI It's future move
ments be crowned with the success its bravery
merits The farewell address of Gen. Burnside
TO the army, and that of Gen. Hooker on as
suming command, will be found in another
column.
Our gunboats, after the capture of Arkansas
Post, did no; proceed up the Arkansas to Lit
tie Rock, as was anticipated, but assembled the
White river two hundred miles to Dcs Arc,
capturing that place and several others without
opposition. securing two riff ID cannon. 200 En-
field rifles, with quantity of prov 'sions. The
expedition bas siuce returned, and ii is not
supposed that any further demonstrations Il
that direction will be made at present.
Gen. Grant is concentrating an immense
force at Millikins Bend. on the Mississippi,
and it is understood his Purpose is to make
another assault Oh Vicksburg. The rebels are
slid to have adId largely to their f,rces at
that point, AMI it is evident they will make
desperate defense before yielding its po session.
It is annourced that Gen. Butler. who so
ably and satisfactorily administered the De
partment of the Gnlf will forthwith return to
New Orleans, and that Gen. B INKS will be
sent to Ttxas.
From the Department of Gen. R ,7ecrans
there is nothing important. lie still m tint aims

ter the battle of Mdrfrcesboro, and though

thousands of the hybrids with whom the
South is contending. In addition to the
1000 that came Saturday, 1850 made their
appearance yesterday, in charge of Capt

officer, zn1 came for frolic, but / find NO

AT first, when brought to Guinea's de.
pot, he,prisoners INDUCED the idea that
they would be rescued by Stoneman, but
when it was found out definitely that Hook.

hopes of release ceased Many said if
Hooker had failed with his Hercuiean ef.
fort, no more need be done but to recognize
the independence Of the Southern. Confede-

would have expired on the 18th inst They
regard the late battle as an effort to get as
much out of them as possible before they
went home. The desire to be paroled is
general. l,s
Any private will tell you, s.ewhen ] get
home, Old Abe will not get me into the
field again." Many Of the prisoners are
four or Eve days over their time as soldiers
already. The two years and nine months
men, with hardly an exception, will go home
aud stay there, if allowed, when their terms
expire. They seem to regard that as an
argument ID favor of their speedy release.
