The vanity of fame Is beautifully illustrated
by the little fact that splendid portrait ot the

Why HAscALL WAS RKMovED--The Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser says:
"The offense of Gen. Hascall who has been
removed from the command of the Department
of Indiana, is said to have been a declaration IN

and arrest the editors. This considered un-

ofCen II Nav, who won more honorable fame
in the field with his sword. than he has done as
commander of this department by his "orders"
and arbitrary acts.-TN. A. Ledger.
-SoLprER's MoxuMESr-The citizens Of De-
catur county will hold meeting in reference to
erecting a monument to deceased soldiers from
that county, on the 18th Of June. We are glad
to notice a similar move in a number of other
counties in the State. This is exactly the right
thing Let each separate county in the State
provide a monument at their county seats, upon
which shall be inscribed the name of every gal
liant man who is killed or dies in the service from
that county. The citizens of Floyd county will
thus honor their noble,sde1d. We want no me
tropolitan burial ground, such as has been pro-
posed, that indianapolis hotel keepers and sharks
may speculate off the ashes of our glorious dead.
Each county will honor its own brave boys who
nav fall, and under the shadows of their own
homes lay their remsins to rest, where their
friends and relatives may, without money or
price visit their graves, and revive and keep
alive their memories with tears Of sympathy and
affection. Let a move be made in this matter in
this county at once, for many gallant brave
who went cut from this county with our I'D,

sleep in the land of strangers. Let their ashes be
brought home, and over them let a monument be
erected which shall for all time commemorate
their virtues and gallant deeds.-tN. A. Ledger.
TIE IxprAxoLA-At last we have
thentic and complete account ef the capture Of
the lndianola, in the shape OF an official report
OF Capt. Brown, who commanded her. We
learn from IL that the disaster not caused by
the enemy's Ere. nor by the bursting of the YES
sells guns, nor by "the cowardice of her com
mander" as her contractor generously insinu-
ated, but by the difficulty. with imperfect means
of directing the vessels motions on dark night,
of dodging the blows OF the rams. -Four vessels,
two butting and two firing. and each with a rre~
big odds for Capt. Brown; and that he was able
to fight an hour and a half, is as good proof
sensible man wants that he did all his duty, and
good deal more than those who have been 80
ready to suspect him of cowardice. II il had
been daylight 80 that he could have maneuyered
to present his vessel to the rams in such position
that their blows would have glanced of, been
met by her nvulneroble bow. which was equal TO
any of the rams. he would have beaten of OF
sunk the whole feet As / was he was struck
on the wheel house and disabled, and one of the
engines damaged, and Of course his motions so
crippled that the rams could hit him where they
pleased A crushing blow on the stern broke
through the imbers and let the wafer pour in
with such velocity that sinking was inevitable.
but even then her bull dog commander fought
till the water WAS two feet deep on her deck
That sort of fighting does not show much cow

show any lack OF brains. If the constructor Of
the Indianola had built her as well as Captain
Brown fought her. the whole Rebel navy could
not have sunk her.
