TUESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER Is
a Malicious Partisan Assauit Upon
Mr.. voorhees,.

The court organ Of Yesterday gives another
evidence of its partizan malice by msrepresenting
an interview between some soldiers and Mr..
yooaHErs on tive cars between Terre Haute and
Greeuc.stle. on Saturday evening last. The
Indianapolis Journal and other abolition printr
some DAYS ago gave currency TO the report that
Mr. voonHKKs in q speech at Sullivan had re
TERED u the soldiers "a Lincoln dogs" Lin
coin hirelings." and as wearing a collar IL
IL unnecessary for ~ 10 STATE that Mr.. VooHHEEs
never used such language. and that ne never
uttered any sentiment which could be even tor
,ured into disresp ectful alluson toward the men
Who are Ok hing under the banner Of the country
to maintain It's homer. its integrity and its vel
fare. Elsewhere we publish. over Mr.. VooR-
urrs' own signature h. denial Of those Infamous
charges He denounced. upon the occasion re
ferred to. in most appropriate terms. the editors
Of rartiztn prints like the Cincinnati CONNER
ciaI the Wabash Express and the Indianapolis
Journal, who are prosttuting the papers under
their control to willfui and malicious misrepre
sentatons OF their political opponents. These
.re the men whom Mr.. VOORHEES, justly de
nounced as dogs" as Lincoln dogs" if they
prefer the term. and as wearing collar" to
cypress the depth Of their degradation.
II is true that Mr. VOORHEES, upon the
car. on Saturday on his way from Terre Haute to
Greeucastie There were a numb.r ct soldiers
on the train. Instigated by personal and par
,izln malice some evil-disposed persons repre-
s-nted to them that Mr.. V. had re
akrtn farua
all urged them to retaliste by some act of vic
lence or personal indignity. IL is untrue, how
ever. except in q single instance. that anything
which could be construed into an insult was ut
tered in the hearing of Mr.. VooRHEss The
officer. in command Of the squad were gallant
bich.minded gentlemen. and they were satisfied
N we're most of the soldiers. before the cars ar
rived ut Greencastle. that the Infamous Language
attributed TO Mr. VOORHEES, had been invented D.

innocent parties to deeds of violence by the mos
vllsinous INTERPRETATIONS Among the so
diers upon the train were two who had bee
raised with Mr. VOORHEES, and knew him irt

vooRBxrs sat- couversed with him freely, an
we're ready TO vindicate him from the sspersion
of his cowardlv assailants. The statements @
