VILE, Ind, March %.

Mr.. EDITOR: - Two or three para
graphs in your editorial of this days
Journalin reference to the trade in goods
from this city to Kentucky, demands a
few words from the undersigned.
"You were informed yesterday Oath
inst) by gentleman in position that
enables him to speak advisedly, that the
Quartermaster who served with Adam
Joh gpeR or + two ago ana tGtghf "gstY, 685
(seven thousand dollars) worth of goods,
which were permitted to 90 to Kentucky"
This statement is very indefinite, but
if the intention is to assert that 81 600
worth of goods were permitted from this
Office in the way of trade, | meet the as
sertion with an emphatic denial and pro-
nouuce it false in general and in particu-
lar
To what part of Kentucky were these
goods taken? Of what kind were they?
In whose name were they bought and
shipped? OF whom were they bought,
aud for what purpose? The gentleman
who knows so much about Adam John
sons Quarternaster ought to be little
more definite in his statements. Please
gire his name TO the public.
| There has been a complete register
kept of all the goods permitted through
this Office since the first day of October
last, Except small bills for the supply of
families,) and you, Mr. Editor, or any
one else desiring to examine it can do so
at any time.
This register shows the name Of sellers
and purchasers, the date, the kind of
goods, their value and destination
You express the opinion that more
goods have been shipped to Kentucky
since the first of January than during
the whole OF last year.
During part of the year 1862 there
was register of the trade kept in this
Office, but from May to September of that
year, period of about four months,
there was no restriction whatever on the
trade to Kentucky, it being absolutely
UithOut limit or control during that
time
You are in error in the opinion that
there has been, since the first of Janu-
airy, ian indiscriminate and unlimited
permission to ship goods to Kentucky. y
The business men of the city know
better than any one else whether "they
wink at or are complicated with a con-
traband trade in articles most essential
to the rebels. Ifyou know Of any such
illegal trade, please TO give me the facts
at your earliest leisure, and it shall re-
ceive due attention without delay.
The selling of arms or other MUM
tons of war is prohibited without spe-
cial permit l herewith send you no
tice for publication, prohibiting certain
medicines from being sold by Druggists
without similar permit.
| shall enforce these orders to the let
ter; and it is to be hoped our citizens
will aid and assist in their rigid enforce
ment Very respectfully,

For THE CRoAKERs.-Suppose the reb-
els held Ohio, as we do Tennessee, Iowa
and Wisconsin, as we do Missouri and
Arkansas, Massachusetts with Boston, as
we do Louisiana with New Orleans, the
shores of Connecticut as we do that of
North Carolina, the coast of New Jersey
as we do that of South Carolina, and be-
sides Boston the harbors of Philadelphia,
Newport and Portsmouth, as we do those
of Norfolk, Pensacola and Savannah;
suppose them furthermore to have com
mand of the Mississippi up to St. Louis
as we have Of it down to Memphis, and
to be laying siege to Pittsburg as We are
to Vicksburg; suppose them to have
nearly five hundred vessels, including
more than dozen monitors and other
iron clads, and to be blockading the
whole of our coast and preparing with
immense strength to attack New York
and Portland, as we are preparing to at
tack Charleston and Mobile; suppose
them to have an army half larger than
our own lowering upon every exposed
point upon our contracted lines, while
we by conscription had dragged into the
army every 3ble-bodied man, and they
had not begun to draft; suppose that by
unre Stricted commerce with all parts of
the world they were able to supply them
selves readily with all the comforts and
Injuries of which the rigid blockade was
depriving US; suppose all this,-and we
have but family represented the disad-
vantages under which they labor in the
contest,-what, we pray, would be the
| state of mind of these wretched men who
load the air and make day and night
alike hideous with their winnings and
croakings? Would not their knees smite
with fear and their voices fail them?
The condition in which we have for
! illustration imagined ourselves, is really
not so bad as that in which the rebels
are to-day And yet, craven-hearted men
are found, who tell us that we must give
MP, that it is of no use to push on, that
we must confess that we are whipped,
and tamely succnmb. And such men
are not ashamed to walk about the streets
and call themselves American citizens,
defendants of revolutionary heroes.
What a descent, indeed! Away with
the folly, or worse than folly, that they
talk. See the brave work that has been
done already. See our gathering hosts
| hanging like clouds of destruction over
Charleston and Vicksburg, and just
about to give their terrible blows, and
have new courage. Cherish faith con-
sistent at least with obvious facts, If you
cannot attain to one altogether worthy
of the founders of the republic. -PToUl-

PUTTIYG THE THING RIGHE-In an
other place will be found card from a
number of the private soldiers of Co. F
18th Indiana Regiment, exposing base
fraud and forgery resorted to by the
State Sentinel in reference to the senti-
ments of portion Of that renowned regi-
ment.
The desperate expedients resorted to
BY the Copperhead organs to discourage
the friends of the Union, and to give aid
and comfort to the traitors, are thus one
by one being developed.
This last is the most damaging expo
sure of all 1t clearly proves that the
Sentinel resorted to the basest of means
to effect the basest purpose. The expe-
dent resorted to, if not legal felony, is
at least literal and barefaced forgery.

The Fate of the Indianola.

We are permitted to print the follow
ing extract of letter from a 'Cincin-
natl Boy" on the gunboat feet in the
mouth OF the Yazoo:
Last night we sent another dummy
guaboat' down the river past Vicksburg,
which caused the rebels to waste consid-
cradle ammunition, as they fred some
fifty or sixty shots at it,
We have never had any reliable lnfor-
nation what become of the Indianola I'M
til to-day. We knew that she had been
captured, but that was all. Last night
the Benton and Pittsburg sent out small
boats for the purpose of trying to cap
ture picket guard, which the enemy has
had stationed about two miles above us.
We did not get any of the guard, as they
had not been there for several nights,
but found a man and boy, and also got
two late Vicks'urg papers. One of
them contained the particulars Of the
blowing up Of the Indanola. 1t appear
ed she had received considerable dam
age about her stern and wheels, when

ET- 1t is. generally believed that an
army corps from the Potomac is on its
way West, for the purpose of reinforcing
Rosecrans. OF the truth of this rumur
We know nothing, except from an an
nouncement of the arrival of large
number of troops expected at Cincinnati.
These are doubtless intended to meet
and repel the threatened invasion of
Kentucky by rebel forces under Brock
inridge. The Government is doubtless
now well posted as to rebel movements,
and prompt steps viii be taken to circum-
vent their plans.
The appointment of Gen Burnside to
the Department of the Ohio gives the
people of the West strong confidence in
the speedy deliverance of Kentucky, and
also of East Tennessee. Everything
goes to show that the fate of the rebel
lion is about sealed. This feeling has
taken hold of the eLels themselves, and
our dispatches this morning say that the
leaders of the rebellion have determined
to concentrate their entire available force
near Chattanooga, and die in the last
ditch there. One vigorous campaign
viii unquestionably end the war.

Next Congress.

It is now ascertained that the Union
lists will have clear working majority
in the next Congress, unless Connecticut
and Maryland materially change their
delegations, which is not probable. This
is good news for the country, and bad
news for the friends of jeff. Davis. The
Copperheads will not gain much, after
all, by the temporary advantage which
they secured last fall, in consequence of
the absence of Union men at the time of
the election. The labor and money they
expended so literally are thrown away,
and that too with the certainty that the
ill-n.inns of 1864 will sink them beyond
nope of resnrrection

Hard on nIH MIL

Richardson, it seems, has received
notice from his brother CoPperheads in
Connecticut, begging of him, for Gods
sake, to keep out of that State till after
the election, as his efforts there will be
serious injury to their cause. They think
he benefited the Republicans by going
to New Hampshire The appearance,
habits, aud peculiar style of oratory of
the Illinois Senator would damage any
cause he might attempt to advocate in
New England. 1t is q pity he had not
gone to New Hampshire little sooner,
for, in that case, the Unionists would
have undoubtedly elected all three Con
-gressmen and the Governor The Legis-
lature will, however, elect the Republican
candidate to the gubernatorial chair

Putting the Thing Right,

Camp l4th Reg't Indiana Volunteers,
Falmouth, Va, March -, '63.
Ed JOURNAL: We, the undersigned
members of Company f, 18th Regiment
Indiana Volunteers, have observed with
displeasure that there appeared in late
number of the Sentinel March 5th)
card purporting to have been signed
by us, which totally misrepresents our
feelings and places us in false position
towards our comrades in arms, and we
desire through the medium Of your paper
to set ourselves right before them and
our friends at home.
We therefore unhesitatingly denounce
the aforesaid "card - as batch of UNI
mitigated lies, which places Col Cavins
in the false position of political schem-
err. Nothing could have tended less to
bias the minds of the soldiers than the
action of Col Cavins, who simply said to
them, % if YOU like these resolutions vote
for them, If you dislike them vote against
them" and except the remarks OF Ser
geant Richardson 10 speech on the reso-
lutiOns was made.
We emphatically deny ever having
signed such a statement as appeared in
the Sentinel, or authorized any one to
sign the same for US. We profess to be
men of common sense, who know our
own minds, and do not require any one
to think or act for us, particularly one
whom evidences show to be dis oval to
the Government
