Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1863-02-09
The German Regiment on the Hunter
PrOnunciamentO.

A correspondent of the Louisville Anzeiger
writing from Murfreesboro, Jan. 2lst, states that
the resolutions recently gotten up by Colonies
Hunter Goodng, and few other of Gov. Nor
tons appointees, we're READ to the various com
panies of the Thirty second Indiana regiment,
German. formerly commanded by Gen. Wilich,)
and their sanction asked for il. small MAORI
ty of one company (A) voted in favor of the reso-
lutions but every other company in the regiment
voted against them. 1t is added that while many
OF the officers, who get big pay and have but lit
tie 20 do, are DESTROYS of prolonging the war,
nearly all the privates are anxious to see it
brought to a close rs soon il can be done
terms honorable to the country. This feeling
prevails almost universally among the soldiers,
without regard to party They do not want to
see the country humble itself before the rebels.
but they want the Government to so conduct the
as TO bring it to a speedy and successful con-
clusion.-lN. A. Ledger
Much has been said by the Republican papers
abou- the Murfreesboro resolutions, but they no
more express the sentiments of the army than do
the outgivings of BEEcHER, SUMNER, GARRISON
& Co. According to the representations of the
correspondent of the Cincinnati COMMERCIAL, il
would appear they were adopted by ga large and
enthusiastic meeting of the Indiana soldiers"
but nothing of the kind occurred. The resoIu-
tons were prepared by Colonels GRosE. GRESHAM,
HUNTER and GooDING, and the enthusiastic
meeting" which adopted them was composed
of those gentlemen only. They we're gotten up
for buncOmb by the appointees of Governor
MORTON, in consideration of distinguished
services rendered 70 them. and presume
with the hope that they might call forth re-
newed favors. There is no public man in the
country more fond of hattery, and it cannot be
laid On too thick. than His ExcelIency, and the
gentlemen who wrote the resolutions well knew
the shortest road to royal favor. Ifthese resolu-
lions tickle the vanity of the Governor. and make
him feel like again falling in love with himself.
we have no objection; but if they are intended to
be palmed off expression of the sentiment
OF tie army, shall only say they misrepresent
the feelings of the private soldiers. In the Ian
guage of the Ledger, while many of the officers,
who get big pay and have but little to do, are de-
sirous of prolonging the war, nearly all of the
prvatcs anxious to see it brought to close
as soon as it can be done on terms honorable
70 the country" Neither Colonies Crosse or
GRESHAM, or HUNTER. or GooDISG would ever
voluntarily nave oeeh ioutio IN the ranks, Win
knapsaek and musket, fighting in the present
war Their patriotism hath not that extent.
They never went to the field M tthey had hon
orabe positions aud big pay. This class care not
how long the war is prolonged. We cannot,
therefore. accept their views those of the pri-
vAte soldier. and we think it little presump-
tuous in them to attempt to do the thinking OF
the whole country and dictate public policy. The
people who have no issue involved in the present
crisis but the welfare of the country, are just as
capable Of determining what is best for the ma
tional well being. as the men who would never
have been in the service Il it were not for the
position and pay, and who are influenced thereby
