STATE ITEMS.

-GooD-The Ssh Indiana volunteers sent
home by the allotment commissioner, S20,4l6
for the use of their families az home. Such men
must be good soldiers. and VIII ever maintain
the honor of our State and support the flag of
our country.-tFort Wayne Sentinel.
AN Ass-The Evansville Journal copies the
following item from the Sentinel:
There was a disgraceful row at Evansville on
Saturday night, in which several persons were
severely hurt and a bar room WAS completely
Quilted by a crew of one of the gunboais.-[State
Sentinel.
And thereupon it makes the following COM
ments:
The Senti.,el thought this a good tine to make
a point against those fighting for their country,
and hence has exaggerated a trifing matter into
a terrible affair.
Instead of this being done by ga crew of one
of the gunboats. it was done by five men off one
Of the gunboats, while under the influence of IL
quor. In all other respects. the statement of the
Sentinel is nearly correct.
The row, says the Journal, was the work of
five men off one of the gunboats, while under
the influence of liquor" not by the entire crew;
but in r'other respects the statement of the Sen
tinel is nearly correct Yet for stating a fact,
the Evansville paper charges that it is an attempt
to make a point against those fighting for their
country" What will that print say Of the orders
of Gen. WILCOX which we published yesterday
upon the conduct of soldiersf Is he making a
"point against those fighting for their countryf''

Many of our exchanges in this State made
apologies for the non-appearance of their respect
i've sheets the week before. They said editors
and printers had gone after Morgan, and nobody
was left to make the paper or printit The
apology must be satisfactory to their subscribers.
No copperhead paper makes any such apology.

The Express appeared as usual during the NOR
GAN raid, hence, according to its own logic, it
must be a copperhead paper.
-WAR DEMocRArs-We notice that two dis
tinguished gentlemen who claim to be "war DEM
ocrats" par excellence, are snugly ensconced a.
pleasant posts within the State-Col. B. F. Null
LEs at Madison. and Col. C. L. DuSHAM at New
Albany. We presume these "War Democrats"
were exceedingly 10th to be taken from the field,
but as good soldiers. they were bound to obey
their superior officers. even il their orders
should remove them from positions where glory
can be won and consign them to the unenvia-
BILE one of a post commandant. Like the lion
Gagged, we know the war spirit of these gentle
men will chafe under their confinement. but we
trust the restiveness they must feel will be sub
dued by the proud consciousness that they are
serving their country. even if it is in a sphere far
beneath their ambition and talents.

Act well your part, there all the honor lies"
-AeE MEN.-The New York Ledger says
that Peter Rozell is the oldest living man in the
United States. He is of French descent and was
born in Brooklyn. N. Y. April p. 1883. which
makes him over ITO years old. Thanks to the "gi.
gantic efforts" of His Excellency, Gov. MoRroN,
Indiana is able to outdO New York in that
line, and she can boast of having an older living
man within her borders than The Empire State.
The Lafayette Journal furnishes US with the fol.
lowing item:
Mr.. Rozell is not the oldest "living man in the
United States" Lewis Bible residing in the
south end of this county, was born in the year
1850. in the then COLONY of Virginia, during the
reign of King George III. and is consequently
three years the senior of Mr.. Rozell.
