ANOTHER GRAND RALLY
Masonic Hall !
THE UNION SPIRIT At HIGH TIDE /!
TRAITORS REBUKED
From the Indianapolis Journal


fany man doubts the earnestness and
determination of the Union men of Indi-
ana, he viii be convinced of his error if
he attends such monster meetings as are
being held at Masonic Hail. Despite
rain and storm, the hall was filed at an
early hour, and before the organization
Of the meeting, no vacant standing room
was left Col r. n. Hudson was called
to the chair, and, on taking it, announc-
ed that the Union men of Indiana had
again assembled, to renew their faith,
and to pledge their devotion to the gov
eminent of their fathers
And still further, the men of Indiana
had met to say to the traitors of the
South that. so long as they remained in
arms against the government, so long
were we ready to meet them with powder
and ball, and also to meet in the same
wav, if need be, the traitor sympathisers
of the North, if they attempted to put in
execution their attempt to betray the
North West. If they dare to trample the
Ofd fry under their feet, we will fight
them. If they attempt to force us into
the Confederacy, so long as we live defy
them. The audience responded in un-
bounded applause
Hon. Caleb B. Smith, Judge of the U.
S. District Court, followed in an exceed.
ingly able address, which elected the
hearty endorsement of all. In our limit.
ed space this morning we cannot find
room for an abstract, but will give it in
full at an early day.
Gov Morton followed in vigorous
impromptu effort, exposing the sophis
tries of northern traitors in their plea for
an armistice, proving that its natural
result wovld be base betrayal of the
North into the hands of the rebels
At the close the following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
ReSOlUed, That as a majority in the
House of Representatives of the Legisla
ture of Indiana have to this time failed
to print the message of Governor Morton
the same be printed in pamphlet form
and distributed among our soldiers in the
field, that they may know what has been
done and recommended to be done By
their Governor for their comfort anC
protection, and we, the people, will be
responsible for the expense.

THE SCHOOL LAw.-It will be remem-
bered that during the canvass last Fall
the subject of the proposed amendment
to the School Law, to allow cities to
levy special tax to sustain public
schools during the whole year, was prom
inent among the questions considered.
Mr. Garvin frankly pledged himself to
vote for the amendment, and the other
candidates acquiesced in his declaration
if they did not openly pledge themselves
to the same action. Last week the
amendment passed the Senate by large
majority.
Among those voting against the
amendment was Senator Finch, of Van
derburgh and Posey.
Archy johnson of Putnam, who also
voted against the amendment, and who
doubtless expressed the sentiments OF
the minority, declared in speech made
on the question, that this talk of educa
ton being a good thing was all CANNON
Do the intelligent voters of Yanderburg
county concur in the declaration made
by Johnson, and corrobOrated by the
vote of Senator Finch?
The amendment has not, we believe
been acted on bv the House. and we arr
anxious to see if our representatives viii
follow the lead of our Senator, or fulfil
their pledge to the people

Correspondence OF the Star 4 Chronicle.

The nine months Volunteers belonging
to Hartletou aud it's adjoining townships,
arrived here late Monday night, the 25ib
inst. Arrangements were Immediately
made to give them . reception in the
afternoon of the following day. Tho
interest, energy and activity manifested by
the ladies Of Hartleton aud its vicinity 10
making preparations for the splendid
repass, reflect no small degree Of honor
upon Hartleton. 1t speaks we'll for its
patriotism it shames out treason, and
seems to say, Crush out the Rebellion.
The variety aud abundance Of the good
things prepared, We think, could not,
under similar circumstances, be surpassed
by any other place. The respectable
number Of people in attendance the
qniesness, and order; the sooiability and
cheerfulDess, manifested on the occasion /;
the graceful procession Of the little band of
soldiers to the place prepared for the
rspas.; the beautiful, soul.thrilling,
patriotic song. (Which was sung twice ),
the cheers for the Union, for tho soldiers,
and for the ladies' of Hartleton--are all
matters of interest, aud worthy Of note.
The most We have to regret is, that our
worthy friend, Capt. ]. j. X. Otwig, was
not present to participate with Us and give
US an address suitable to the occasion.

On! Hottie Steubenville Union, in
noticing the overwhelming defeat in that
town at the Spring election, thus confesses
the truth in regard to certain Democratic
leaders:
"The causes which led to our defeat,
can be found in the fact, that men who
assume to lead the Democratic party sue
cessfully, must express themselves as
loyal to the Government, or may expect
to be defeated at every election. We
know the masses Of the Democratic party
are loyal meu, and it is extremity uufortu-
nate that certain men insist on leading the
party to the devil. At another time, We
shall speak more fully and freely"
That certainly spproximates to sound
sense. Let the loyal men Of the Demo-
cratic party scourgs out their disloysl
leaders, or desert them, and let them "go
to the devip' in . party BY themselves
as they will be sure to do.

King Cotton,

The Rebels began the War, boasting,
that, ss their Coufederacy produced the
most and best cotton in the world, they
could monopoizc it, could control the
market, and could dictate terms Of COM
merce and morality to all creation.
The brsggart pretension at once caused
q decrease 10 the use of all manufactures
from cotton fabrics-stimulated its pro,
ductiou elsewhere-aud, especially within
the Uoion, has caused thousands to turn
their attention to Flax culture. Linen,
manufactured in the family, is probably
in the long ruu the cheapest and most
serviceable for general use.
Since the Rebels found their game was
. failure, they have endeavored to harass
mankind, and the leaders to speculate, by
preventing the growing of cotton among
themselves, and by burning up oil they
feared might come into Union hands. In
this way, they have impoverished thous-
ands of their own people, and robbed the
earth's Inhabitants of what it had brought
forth for them.
Notwithstanding all this, at the end of
two years war, cotton fabrics have fallen
in price, and raw cotton is nearly 100 per
cent. less than it was at one time.
Gen. Banks recent successes have bro't
200 600 bales of Cotton into market, and
wherever the Uoion forces reach, they 'fud
more or less cotton, previously concealed,
awaiting emancipation.
The Rebellion subdued,. cotton may
soon become cheaper than ever. Instead
of establishing, the Rebels will have des-
troyed, Americas power to mouopolizs
the cotton market.
