GALLANrRY OF INDIANA TROOPS.
While we rejoice in the bravery display
ed by all the armies of the United States, it
is a subject of profound congratulation that
the Indiana troops have behaved with uni
form aud distinguished galIantry in every
action in which they have been engaged. =
They form part of every army in the field.
aud have been among the foremost in deeds
of daring, while their blood has hallowed
every soil.
The American Annual Cyclopedia justly
declares that the "Indiana troops have been
perhaps more widely scattered through the
different corps d'armee than those OF any
other State The same high authority. in
another place, speaks of the conduct OF In
diana troops in the field as follows: When
ever they have been engaged in battle they
have been eager to advance. steady in the
fl ,ht ani u terly ave;se TO retreating.'

Indiana has already made large invest
ment of her best blood in the cause of this
Union. and viii mover consent to its dis
