ANOTHER ABOLITION BABY.-The
Oskaloosa (Iowa Times, says, "Our
readers will remember that few weeks
ago we published an account of a young
girl, living west of Pclla, giving birth
to twin negro babies. We have just
learned of another case which recently
occurred at that extremely loyal town
below us on the Dcs Moincs River, Ed
dyville. Some three or four weeks
ago married woman-and an aboh-
tionist-gave birth to a bouncing negro
baby, much to the surprise and mortifi-
cation of her husband. Although he
was Republican Loyal Lacquer, yet
he didn't like the practical workings of
his political theory. He did not stop to
ask his wife who had proven untrue to
him, to explain, but gave one glance at
the baby, another at the nurse, and the
third towards the door, through which
he passed never to darken again. Time
passed on for two weeks, when the negro
child died from some cause not above
suspicion. Then the wife, having learn
ed her husbands whereabouts, wrote to
him to come and live with her, for the
negro baby was dead He could not
exactly see it, and therefore declined
the offer. 1t is reported that she is now
supported by free American citizen of
African descent, who resides in Eddy
Vile"

WASTING RACK Man WHITE.

WASHING A BLACK Man WHITE
The police of Leusburg (Aargaw), { sus-
pecting that a black Snowman was trav-
cling with false passport, and was
artifcially colored, had him stripped
and washed most vigorously. All in
vain, the black, so far from disappear
ine, only comes out with greater lustre.
The doubts of the police, however, are
far from solved. The apothecary was
sent for. Cyanide of potassium is, by
his advice, applied to the obstinate skin.
But blackamoor Is not to be washed
white, and the ill-used actor had to be
dismissed, after defying all efforts Of
his prosecutors.

To Give is to Live.

FoTEveF The Sun : pouring bis gold
On hundred worlds that beg and borrow;
His warmth he sgnanders on SUBMITS cold,
His wealth on the homes of wanta and sorrow.
To withhold his largess Of precious light
Is 10 bury himself in eternal night.
To give
Is to live.
The flower shines not for itself at all
It joy i the joy it freely difuses
OF beauty and balm it is prodigal
And it lives in the life it sweetly loses
No choice for the rose but glory of DOOM
To exhale or smother, to wither or bloom.
To deny
Is to die.
The seas lend silvery rays to the land.
The landits sapphire streams to the ocean
The neart sends blood to the brain of command,
The brain to the heart its lightning motion
And ever and ever we yield our breath,
Till the mirror is dry and images death.
To live
Is to give.
He is dead whose hand is not opened wide
To help the need of a human brother
He doubts the life Of his lifelong ride,
Who gives his fortunate place to another,
And thousand million lives are his,
Who carries the wortd in his sympathies.
To deny
is to die.
Throw gold to the far-dispersing wave,
And your ships sail home with tons of treasure
Care not for comfort. all hardships brave,
And evening and age shall sup with pleasure,
Fling health to the sunshine, wind and rain,
And roses shall come to the cheek again.
To give
Is to live.
What is our life ? Is it wealth and strength?
II We, for the Master sake will lose it,
We shall find it a hundred fold at length,
While they shall forever lose who refuse it =
To give
Is to live.

LOYAL Talk.

Loyal Tax.
The Logan County Gazette, publish
ell at BclIefontaine, Ohio, spirited
paper, full Of life and satire, says:
Having become entirely convinced
that :he Administration IS the govern
ment," we propose to express some tru-
IL loval views in truly loval words.
We hold that Abraham Lincoln Is
the greatest statesman Of the age. That
he is thoroughly informed on all mat
tiers of government policy, and espcci-
ally conyersant with the intricacles Of
the tariff; that he is a very handsome
man, very refined man, a thoroughly
educated man, and has had all the
training requisite for successor Of
Washington and Madison in the Exec
utiye chair.
We hold also, that the above men
toned Lincoln Is "honest," and that
his Administration is distinguished for
the integrity of all its members and
their appointees that Wells never gave
fat contracts to Morgan; that Cameron
never dabbled in frauds that Fremont
never speculatcd in Austrian muskcts /;
that Seward and Stanton violated no
law in making arrests; that the consti-
tuition required Blair to exclude Demo
cratic papers from the mails; and that
Chase is sincere, frank and manly i'll his
conduct; wearing his heart on his
sleeve and withal, pure, national
patriot, holding himself above all sec
tional prejudices-
We hold, moreover, that the conduct
of the war has been marked by brill
liant series Of the most wonderful yicto-
ries, except a few Instances Of disaster,
caused by such copperheads as McClel-
Ian and Buell..
We still believe that this wicked re-
bellion will be squelched in the original
ninety days, and that the only reason
why few old women did not whip the
rebels before breakfast, was because
Father Abraham, in the kindness of his
heart, (see Tod ON deserters) failed to
conscript them out of tender regard
for age and sex.
We don't believe that anybody's
hurt, the crisis being purely artificial.
1t is our belief that large sum Is more
easily paid than larger one; and We
are sure, from personal experience, that
it is easir to pay when we have the
means of paying than when We have
not.
The national debt we consider mere
trifie. as we have been convinced by an
arithmetical calculation, that our wo-
men can churn it out in ten years.
Come, butter, come"
We believe in the "Union party -
that is, we don't believe it is a party at
all, but devised for the purpose of put
ting down this wicked rebellion and sa-
wing the best government in the world.
Its leaders are all honest patriots, car
ing nothing for office, except when it is
forced upon them. Their motto is,
"To the devil with your Offices We
are for our country, and our home is in
the bright settln' sun"
We are very much in favor of calling
Democrats 'Copperheads'' and ''ene-
mics in our midst We think they all
ought to be killed. Burning at the
stake woHld be eminently proper. Sharp
pine splinters ought to be stuck into
their flesh and set on fire. No Uuion
man should deal with them except to
take their money-never neglecting to
call them traitors as soon as they left
the shop.

The FIELD OF ANTIETEM.-A cor
respondent with the army of the Poto-
mac writes: The field Of Antietam has
lost all trace Of last years desolation,
and smiles with golden wheat and lux
uriant corn. A close examination may
perceive a torn tree, but that is all. A
little thirty by thirty church or school
house still stands, perforated with balls
and inwardly defaced by the rude
drawings and senseless inscriptions of
soldiers. both rebel and Union.

He was ordered to be tried, and if found
guilty, to be hung. He was convicted,

COMMISSIONERS CoURT.-The Board of
fall session on Monday, after brief SEES
sion less distinguished for what they did
than what they left undone.
No business of any special importance
was transacted by them, except to post
pone the consideration of the question
of appropriating money from the county
treasury for the relief Of the families of
soldiers in the field. This is matter
that all loyal men had hoped would have
been promptly attended to. But few
counties in the State have neglected or
refused to appropriate money for this
laudable purpose, and why our county
board has refused to make liberal APP
preparation for this purpose is a matter
of grave establishment to many.
We hope the voters of Vanderburgh
county will think of this matter. Let
those who have friends and neighbors in
the field fighting for the life of our ma,
ton, reject upon this matter, and let us
at the approaching election, place mer
in control of the affairs of the county who
sympathize with our brave boys in tn,
| field, and with their families who, in ad
ditioh to their anxiety for the lives an,
health of the friends who are absent, ar
in need of assistance, in consequence o
this absence.

BI% Gen. Blunt's campaign in the In
dian Territory has been short but glo-
rious one. With but handful of men,
he has accomplished what less ener-
getic and plucky commander could not
have done with triple his force. He has
marched $50 miles in nine days, fighting
in the same time two battles with superb
or forces, routing them and retaining
country thousands of square miles in ex-
tent The energy and indomitable per
severance swells in magnitude, when it
is, known that during the entire cam
paign he was too sick to ride on horse
back, and he issued all his orders from
an ambulance in which he travelled A
few such Generals in the early period of
the war would have insured the suppress
sion of the rebellion some time ago.
The friends of the gallant General will
await further news in regard to his
health with interest At last accounts he
was at Fort Smith, confined with slow,
nervous fever, which has reduced him
very low. Some of his physicians regard
his symptoms as dangerous.
Indiana is represented in Rlunt's ar
my. Rabb's Battery has done yeoman
service all through the campaign. Il
has seen more hard service than any
other battery from the State.

The TERRE HAUTE AND RICHMOND r.
R.-We had occasion to pass over this
admirable Railroad q. fa~-5~-re-~gsS s-.1lr
found it as we always find it, in the best
possible condition, and doing an excel
lent business.
We took the Evening Express train,
under charge of that excellent and e1-
perienced officer, conductor, Ned Jones,
who has no superior as a polite and at
tentive gentleman, and was whirled
away at the rate of about 80 miles an
hour, not feeling a jar or a jolt any more
than if we had been drawn over smooth
floor in light spring wagon.
No road in the country is more deserv-
edly popular than the I. II. and r. R.
and none is better managed.

The river rose one inch during the
"a hours ending at 6 o'clock last night,
but little further rise is expected.
All steamboat men express surprise
that the channel does not cut out this
season, as the river is not really as low
by nearly two feet as it was last year
when there were over 80 inches in the
channel. 1t may cut out yet, but such
good fortune is not probable.
Freight is getting more abundant, ard
the packets go out with all they can
carry
The Huntsman will be here this morn
ing, ready to receive freight and passen-
gers for Cairo and all way ports.
The Huntsman is an excellent and
finely appointed low water boat, and her
officers are gentlemen of experience and
true politeness.
Fred Huston, with his honest, smiling
eountenance, will be found in the office,
and he has no superior as a clever fell
low.
The Louisville packets are somewhat
irregular, but one boat arrives daily, and
they will be found all right, with first
class officers. The Delaware is the first
boat due
A new daily line of packets, we learn
will be put into the trade between this
city and Cairo, to consist of the Des
MONIES City, Colonna and Huntress.
They are all nice, light draught boats,
well differed, and will no doubt deserve
a liberal share of patronage.
The Des Moines City will leave at
noon to-day from j. B. Halls wharf
boat. Capt. johnson is in command
with Mr.. o. P. Reynolds in the Office,
both experienced officers and polished
gentlemen.
p The Nashville, we learn, is hard
aground at the head of Sbawneetown
bar, and Capt Barley is indulging in
an interesting little job ofsparing We
hope he enjoys it.

CAPTURED AT LAsT.-Brig. Gen. Jerry
Sullivan, of this State, was captured q
few days ago, in Western Virginia, by a
fair daughter of Gen. Kelly, and bound
BIZ her with silken cords But like the
Tartars when captured by the Russians,

RED his fair captor away with him, and
passed through Indianapolis day or
two ago, to visit his parents and friends
in Madison.
We had the pleasure of meeting Gen.
Sullivan in Madison a week or so ago,
and thought at the time there was an
unusual look of anticipated pleasure on
his countenance, but attributed it then to
the remembrance ofthe brilliant achieve

A CLOSE SHAvE.-As the night train
on the I. H., A and St. Louis railroad
was coming East during the heavy storm
last week, when near Paris, Ills, and
while running at high rate of speed,
the engineer discovered tree falling
across the track short distance ahead.
Webb Ross the engineer, at once applied
his patent brakes, but it was too late.
The engine dashed with tremendous mo-
mentum into the tree, which was more
than foot in diameter.
The tree was broken asunder and the
parts were hurled some distance from
the track and the train proceeded on its
way, the only damage it received being
the smashing up of the cow-catcher and
Ross bully head light" Not wheel
was thrown from the track.
This is one of the most remarkable
railroad collisions on record. Bully for
Ross.
