The 5sta Indiana.

4 note from Lieut.. S J.. Snyder, Of
this regiment informs us that it is on its
way home, having enlisted as veterans.
1t is expected TO arrive some time during
the present week. The 18th has won for
itselfa most enviable notoriety, and as
reward for It's fidelity, gallantry and pa
triotism, has been assigned by Maj Gen.
Thomas to the Engineer Department
Of course, the boys Of the 18th, when
/ they reach home, ANA spend few days
among friends, expect to take back with
them many new recruits They accept
all able-bodied men, but prefer good me-
chanics. Ii is considered good thing in
the army TO get INTO the Engineer branch
of the service, and We doubt not the 5Sth
will Gil up their ranks, which have been
sadly wasted by disease and battle, to
the maximum, soon after their return.
Several recruiting officers from the regi-
ment will be scattered through the Dis
trict. to whom recruits should repor
without delay.
Papers throughout the State will aid ;
good cause by calling attention to thi
regiment

The Nashville Union Of the 28th ult
says the report by telegraph that Gen.
Grants forces had fallen back from the
vicinity of Dalton to Tunnel Hill is in
correct On Friday last, at noon, our
troops were at Buzzard Roost, point
between Tunnel Hill and Dalton They
had not retreated at all. They were in
the best Of spirits, and felt fully able to
cope with their adversary.
Gen Thomas, after examining the
rebel position at Dalton, considered it
too strong to capture by assault, without
great loss Of life, but was making some
maneuvers which were calculated to
move the rebels out of their stronghold,
without general assault
1t certainly is gratifying to know that
our army at Chattanooga is attempting
something more than d reconnaissance
Grant must press Johnston hard, or
Sherman's position becomes exceedingly
hazardous While we are not disposed
to place much confidence ir the state
ments of the Richmond papers, we CON
TESS that the story in one of them, to the
effect that Sherman's army had been
dispersed or was retreating, created an
unpleasant sensation. However, We feel
confident that Sherman will come out all
right. The rebels place his force at
$4,000, and if it is so strong as that, he
IS in no immediate danger lie may be
compelled to retreat, but we do not
think he will meet with a serious re-
pulse o. disaster.

Ohio for Mr.. Lincoln.

The action of the Union members Of
the House OF Representatives Of the Ohio
Legislature is an additional evidence of
the strong hold Mr.. Lincoln has upon
the affections of the people. The Union
caucus of hat body was largely at
tsnded-eigtty members being present
The propriety Of nominating Mr. Liu-
coin at so early day, was discussed
thoroughly and earnestly. Mr. Chase
was not without his friends in the eau
Gus. They urged delay with the same
pertinaeity they did at our State Conven.
ton. They conceded that Mr.. Lincoln
was the universal favorite of the people.
but many Of them thought it was dis
courteous to Mr.. Chase to press the mat
ter thus early, as he was resident Of
Ohio; and it would not look well 10 have
Ohio making haste to instruct for some
one else. All these considerations. how
over, which the Indianapolis Gazette
seems to think are unanswerable and
insurmountable, failed to convince the
Representatives of the people of Ohio,
and vote being taken on resolution
declaring Mr.. Lincoln the choice of the
Union men of that State, as we'll as OF
the soldiers in the army, it was unani-
nously carried-the members, one and
al, rising to their feet and giriag three
rousing cheers for AbraAam Lincoln.
Even those who thought Mr.. Chase had
been used discOurteou;ly, acquiesced
in the nomination of Mr.. Lincoln. The
charge was made, it is true, that 50 many
members were absent from the caucus
