EVANSVILLE, IND. MONDAY MORNING,

who have gone into the army and navy
out of the 592, ,23l white males who were
in that State according to the last cen
sus. The number of white males in In
diana, according to the same authority,
was 693,34S. Governor Andrew contin-
ues:
''The whole amount of military expenses
on account of the United States for the
past year is Sl99,982 81, and the whole
amount expended and charged to the
General Government since the com
mencement of the war, is So, 3,450, 10 80.
This includes the purchase of arms
horses, wagons, equipments, subsistence
and other supplies required in the rails
ing, outfit and movement of troops, and
it does not include any sums paid in the
nature of bounties, nor of aid to the fami-
hes Of volunteers.
He adds that in looking over the army
roll of the Northwest, there is a large
number of the officers whose places of
birth, as well as names, are known to US,
tound' serving in the regiments or
credited to the account of our young sis
ter States, who, born in the older Com
monwealths of Ne@ England and emf
grating to the West, have identified their
personal fortunes with the rising gloLies
of those attractive and fourishing por-
tions of our national heritage
After this triumphant vindication of
the earnestness and loyalty Of Massa-
chusetts in the present strife, Governor
Andrews answers another question pro-
pounded by his correspondent, as to the
service rendered to the cause of freedom
during the revolutionary war; He says:
"An answer was furnished to this ques-
ton by the Department of War in 1890,
on the call of Fisher Ames. Gen. Knox
was at that time the Secretary of War
1t is contained in a statement copied from
the first volume of "The American Ar
chives. 1t exhibits not only the con-
tribution of troops made by Massachu-
setts to the war of the Revolution, but
also the contribution made by each of the
original thirteen States.
The following table exhibits a com
parative view Of the population of the
New England States and of the South

according to the census of 1890, attended

The Military Bill,

The Military Bill introduced in the
House day before yesterday, by Mr.. Han
ma, is in every material feature gross
violation Of the Constitution of the State.
It's purpose is to wrest all military pow
er from the hands of the Governor and
place it in the hands of the Democratic
party The Military Board is establish
ed without being named as such. The
appointing power for all general officers,
except Adjutant, Quartermaster and
Commissary Generals, is vested in the
Auditor, Treasurer, Secretary and At
torney General of the State, and it is
provided chat written appointment exc
cuted by these four officers shall confer
authority in the absence off commission
from the Governor This is in direct
contravention Of the 9th section of the
18th article Of the Constitution; but this

is unimportant, as the whole bill is in de-
fance of that instrument The Adiu-
tant, Quartermaster and Commissary
Generals, whom the Governor may ap-
point, have little or nothing to do, but
the powers which properly belong to
them, including the custody of the arms,
are vested in officers of the same name,
to be placed on the staff of the Major
General, who is appointed by the Military
Board.
In day or two we intend to stake up
the bill and show its enormties, section
by section We will notice but one 9TH
er point now and quote the 18th section:
"The Militia, or any portion thereof, may
be called out to execute the laws, on tn
warrant of the Judge, Mayor ola city, or
Justice of the Peace, whose authority has
been defied, the warrant to be served On
the Military Commander most conven-
lent to the place where resistance may
be offered or threatened, or upon Brig
adler General, the Major General or the
Governor At such time the officer COM
manding the forces so called out shall be
subject to the direction of the civil officer
requiring this aid :"
1t will be perceived that the Judge,
Mayor or Justice Of the Peace is to be
the judge whether his power is defed,
and is authorized to issue his warrant re-
quiring the Governor to call out the Mi
litia, and when called out they are to be
under the command of such Judge, May
or or Justice of the Peace This makes
each Justice of the Peace COMMANDMENTS
Chief of the Militia of the Township in
which he lives, and places the Governor
under his command Should the Mayor
of indianapolis get it into his head that
his power has been defed, he may order
the Governor to call out the Militia to be
under his command during his pleasure
Oh, astute and incomprehensible Hanna
Like ancient Dogberry, you are calling
upon all the world to write you down all
ass, and all the world that has read your
Military Bill and witnessed your opera
tions in this Legislature will hasten to
comply with your request Should the
bill pass it will be an act of revolution
and will be so regarded by the people of
the State.-Indianapolis Journal

ern States in l79O....1 ,s52 ,4O5 71,13I
Thus it will be seen that Massachu-
setts alone, with only about one-fourth
of the population of the South, furnished
II, 1862 more troops than they all; and
that the four New England States of the
old thirteen, with a trife less than one
half the population of the six States of
the South, contributed of continental and
authenticated militia troops, a little
more than twice rs many as the contri-
button of the South to the National cause
OF independence. In actual numbers,
the New-England contingent, furnished
by population of 924, ,407, was l47,-
7l3, against the Southern contingent of
l,l30 soldiers, furnished by popula-
ton of l,S52,504 Thus NelC- England
gaze Of her sons i3S tile proportion of
more than .four TO one, compared nth
the authenticated Southern roll Of reco-
tution0ry troops.
Thus it appears that Massachusetts,
out of population of 475, 900, furnished
tlcice as many soldiers to the army of
General Washington in fighting the great
war of freedom, as were furnished by
Virginia out of a population of over
100000. The Puritans, who were
brought ''from the bogs of Ireland and
Scotland" according to jeff Davis, gave
more than double the number of troops
to the armies of l776, than were furnish
ed by Virginia, which, although settled
by cavaliers, nevertheless swarmed
with Tories. South Carolina, the pecu-
liar home of the chivairy, out of popu-
lation of some 25,000, gave only 5000
soldiers to Washington The great bulk
of her citizens were Tories, and had it
not been for Yankee General, the State
would have joined King George
Thus, history shows that not only at
the present day, but also in the days of
the Revolution, African slavery and op-
position to free government generally
went together.
The bulk of the Tories of 1776 were
Shareholders, and worshipped it as di-
vine institution, and the bulk of the reb-
els of 1868 are shareholders also. just
in the proportion that State is controll-
ed by slave interest is it false to free
dom. 1t has ever been, and ever will
be So 1t results from the very nature
of things. The Shareholders know this,
and those of their number, who fought
for freedom in 1776 like Washington,
Jefferson, and Patrick Henry, abhorred
the system of African slavery, and left
their solemn testimony against it.

FROM NORTHERN VIRGINIA.-Information received
justifes the impression that the demonstrations
made BY the enemy on Sunday, at Morton and Rae
coon Fords, were only inaended as feint to cover
their real designs which seem to be the transfer Of
the main body Of their army to the lower fords Of
the Rapidan, near its junction with the Rappahan
mock.
Itwas asserted yesterday morning at Gordons-
ville and generally credited, that the greater por
ton of Meades forces were moving along the north
side of the Rapdan in the direction of Germanna
Ford and it was conjectured that attempt at that
point would be made to cross the river.
This movement lessons the probability of gene
raj engagement for the present. but much of course
depends upon the activity Of the Yankee commah
der. If he should attempt to cross at Germanna
or United States Ford decisive fight will doubt
less result in the vicinity Of the old Wilderness bat
tie field

Desertions from the Army.

We make the following extract from letter dated
LewisVille, Forsyth County:
"The Standard is almost universally read and
its views endorsed IN my neighborhood, yet not
single deserter shows his head here. There has not
been one seen in my Captains district except pass
ing through by night, for long time and IN fact
they are rare IN all the Western part Of this Coun-
ty; and yet the people take the Standard, the re-
puted cause and motive power of assertions gene
rally"
This agrees with statement made to US by an
intelligent friend some time since, that in the whole
range Of large circulation in his County there
was but ore deserter in all the families that SUBJ
scribed for the Standard.
The truth is, the charge that the Standard has
encouraged deserton, that its tendency has been
that way, is the result Of political prejudice-and
prejudice, it is we'll known, "squints when looks
and lies when it talks"
