We condemn the unjust money clause
in the conscription Act, as legislation for
the rich at the expense Of the poor.
These are our views and We expect to
advocate them while we are permitted to

And ii the Brigadler succeeds in in,imi-
dating the tens of thousands of Democrat s
in Indiana into endorsing aboitonism. We
are mistaken In the material of which the
Democracy is composed.
While the State is perfectly free of dis
cord and dssension. save rightful political
discussion, and there. is no need of the
pre- sence of all armed man in the State, he is

And who is he? a country politician, a

The Talk of "a Man Of Sense i.

Senator Cowan of Pennsylvania, in the
late speech he made in the Senate, Mt it's
last session, just on the eve of its adjourn
ment. made the following reference to the
Democratic party. He said:
Now it seems 10 me- that II we of the
predominant party were more tolerant Of
the opp ostion. and instead OF taking pains
to insult their beliefs and misrepresent
their opinions, we shonld be very careful

AT meeting of the Democratic Club
held in Corbin's Hall on Saturday evening
last, the following Resolution was unani-
mously adopted;
WHEREAS. by the revolutionary action of
the abolition members of the late House Of
of the Indiana Legislature

Resolved. that we. the Democracy OF
Marshall County, do most earnestly and
respectfully urge upon our officers Of State
to observe strictly the law, in the manage
msnt and control Of the public funds. and
upon no emergency whatever to disbuIse
the same. only when specifically appropr-

The recent order from Washington IL
muster out of service the colonel, ma ,rS
and one assistant surgeon of every regi
ment which has lott half its members, by
battle or otherwise, is conspicuous Illus
tration Of tho intense stupidity which has
all along characterized the behavior of the
Administration in the conduct of the war
and lhs management OF army AFFAIRS
The order would strip tho army ofEall its
old colonies and majors.
We learn that in General SuMNER's old
corps its execution would result in the dis
missal Of twenty-seven co!onels-the most
expel fenced in the service such as Cross
of the 9Th New Hampshire; NUGKSr, OF
the 69lh New York; Brooks, OF the SD
Pennsylvania; FRANK, of the SRI New
York, etc, men of sixteen OF eighteen
months service. In IIANcocK's Division
it would throw out every Colonel but two
those two belong to niue months regi-
menis!
One would suppose that the Government.
would cherish and fill up It's old and bat
tie worn regiments. and keep every brave
and meritorious officer. And so it would,
if in earnest to end the war. But the or
der evidently belongs to the wretched pol
icy pursued BY the Administration from
the beginning 10 How Not TO Do tt
1t would be the heighth of madness and
fully IL it were meant TO accomplish The
good Of the Union cause.
We learn that the Indignation With
which the order was received by the army
of the Potomac has caused at least tie
temporary suspension OF its execution
Unless our own ruin, instead of tho enemy,
is intended. il should remain suspended
for ever!--N. Y. 1ryus. 81

Mortality Amang the Federals at
.VickEburg

TIE correspondent ofthe Mobile Tribune,
at Morton, Miss, gives the following in
Formation concerning disease which has
made its appearance among the Yankees at
Vicksburg:
But truly the way Of the transgressor is
bard, and even now. whilst the smoke from
ruined affairs and desolated houses is yet as
cending to Heaven, the hand of God has
smitten those who have committed these
deeds. I learn from Father Orlando, the
pastor Of the church at jackson, who has
just returned from Vicksturg, that the en-
envy aud negroes are dying By thousands
from disease called by The medical gen
tlemen cerebro spinals meningitis, which
is fatal in almost every instance: and in vain
have their surgeons sought for an antidote,
but so far it has baff1ed their skill In ma
ny instances the victims have been struck
down in the streets and expired in few
minutes.
The disease makes its appearance by a
painful enlargement Of the larynx, which
is followed by paralysis Of the tongue, and
ifthe victim lives twelve hours he will re-
cover He tells me that last Tuesday three
hundred and fourteen soldiers died in the
hospitals at Vicksburg and one hundred
and thirteen negroes The Yankees are de-
serting by the whole sale, and numbers Of
them have come into our lines and deliver
ed themselves up as prisoners, rather than
trust themselves to the tender mercies Of
yellow Jack, to the effect Of which they.
attribute the great mortality among their
troops.
DR.. Hewitt, Grants Medical Director
has issued circular, stating that the dis
ease was not the yellow fever. but the sol
ders do not believe it, and are fleeing for
their homes to escape that dreadful scourge
