70 the People OF Indiana.


The quota of Indiana under the last
call Of the President for three hundred
thousand men, was about nineteen thous-
and This number was reduced by cred
its to 16, al, on the Goth day of October,
when the Presidents call appeared.
The returns are not in, so that the exact
number cannot De given, but it is safely
estimated that between thirteen and
fourteen thousand men have been re-
cruited in the State, for the old and new
regiments, since the last mentioned date.
This leaves a balance against the State,
of between two and three thousand men,
which is undoubtedly covered by the re-
enlstments of veteran troops in the
field. By express order of the War De-
partment, the re enlisted veterans are TO
be credited upon the quotas of the sever
al States to which they belong.
The re-enhstment of the veterans in
the field has far exceeded the most SAN
guine expectations of the Government,
and thousands have volunteered for a
s cond term where perhaps but hundreds
were expected. This result is of the
most gratifying and suspicious character,
but it requires no argument to prove
that if the re-enlisted veterans are large
ly counted upon the quotas of the sever
al States, that the government will come
far short of getting the three hundred
thousand additional men called for bv
the President, and necessary for milit;
ry operations during the next spring ana
summer In this way, another call by
the President may become necessary, and
IN order to avoid the renewed liability Of
the State, and to render to the govern
ment that full and complete support
which is due from the State, ! earn
estly exhort the people of the
various counties and townships now
in arrears, to make all necessary exer-
tons to furnish the number of volunteers
required of them under the apportion-
ment of the quota heretofore published.
To do this will be the only security
against future draft, | trust that the
various recruiting officers, county and
township authorities, and military com
mittees will not relax in their exertions
until the quota of the State has been
completely filed by the enlistment, OF
men within the State 1t is much easier
to do this now than at any future time
and the efficient support rendered to the
Government, and the example set before
the nation, will be of the most saIutary
character. O. P. MORTON,
Governor of Indiana.

nthat's all very well for Caleb Gushing
and his abolition sheet; nothing betteris
expected Of the blue-bellied Yankees.
True enough, my dear fellow, but you
see the disease is not confined to the
New England States. 1t is coming West
with frightful rapidity. Its ravages
among the democracy of the Middle
States are heart-rendering. No class is
is exempt; no standingin the PARTY fur
nishes security Even Fernando Wood
must have been suffering from species
of Abolition Yarioloid, when he voted for
the Negro Soldier proposition in Con-
gress. But the disease is farther west
than Washington. 1t has crossed the
Allegheny mountains, has reached the
Ohio river, and viii soon, we fear, be
spreading desOlation among the demo
crats-thinly scattered as they are
through its valleys. At Pittsburg, the
disease has assumed q virulent type.
The Pittsburg Post, the most influential
Democratic paper in Western Penn

In its great agony it piteously ex-
claims
ave feel satisfied that the future
peace of this now bleeding and distrac-
| ted country requires the total extinction
of slavery among US. We do not allude
to its eradication this year or next. Our
idea is that its final abolition, at some
fixed period, is necessary for the future
peace of this republic One of the re-
suits of the present rebellion will be the
weakening, or, perhaps, destruction of
one Of its causes-slavery in the South.
With that will follow the death of Alb
clifton among ourselves. Then, after the
terrible experience of the present times,
our country will be re-created, and in
creased civilization, on luminous wings,

rated republic, destined to be the great.

Even Mcclellan himself, presents in

in mild form. In his autobiography,

hanson county, Illinois, recently receiv-
ed from her husband package contain
ing seven hundred dollars, a portion of
which belonged to the families of SOL
diers living in that vicinity. A few DAYS
after the reception of the money there
came a sick soldier to the house of the
officers wife and asked permission to re-
main over night The woman refused,
but the soldier persisting, she finally
consented. During the night the fami-
ly was aroused by the violent knocking
of parties outside, who demanded the
door to be opened, and if not opened
they would break it down; that the off

were bound to have it. The woman was
terrified, and giving the money tothe
soldier inside, secreted herself and chill

voice loud enough to be heard outside,

would fix the villains" The door was
then bursted open, and the men, disguis-
ed as negroes, entered the house. Five
shots were instantly fired at them, Kill

ing having been washed from the faces of
the dead, they were discovered to be the

A PATRIOTIC FATuER.-An officer
from Louisville led one of Rosecrans
.egiments into battle, his superior having
been called to other duty. In the sd-
vance this mans son fell by a rebel hu-
let. The father saw him fall, but could
not stop to care for him. Narrating the
circumstances, the bereaved father said,
with tears in his eyes: MY boy, you
know, is gone. l was in temporary COM
mand Of the regiment, and as we were
pressing on | saw my boy fall. / could
not turn back to help him, so | said to
soldier: Look to Johnnie, and went on,
and we did the work we went to do"
do you still hold to the idea you ex-
pressed when you and | talked over the
question Of this war before? Do you
teel now as you did then?"

work for ourselves and children, and for

BEES EASILY MANAGED.-Bee.keep
ers do not yet seem to understand that
bees may be made perfectly subserYient
to their masters will. They can be ren.
dered as harmless as so many flies. An
application of the axiom Bees when
sorged with liquid sweets never volunteer
an attack" is all that Is needed in order
10 handle them with perfect impunity,
even to tearing their hive all TO fragments
by piecemeal. When the bees have plen-
ty of stores, close the hive so that no
bee can escape. Rap smarlly on the
hive few times. After two or three
minutes repeat the operation. In the
course Of tea or fifteen minutes the bees
viii! fIl themselves with honey. You
can then open the hive and perform any
operation you wish without danger Of
being stung. If you have bar or frame
hive, remove the top quietly, and sPrin-
kIe the bees with water made quite sweet
with sugar. After allowing them time
to ill themselves, you can proceed to re
move the frames or perform any manip-
ulations necessary. But the easiest Way
to manage them is to quietly puff little
smoke into the hive Chat from tobacco
is the best) and they are at once render
ed lpelfeclly tame and agreeable, The
easiest way is to haye pipe made on
purpose to blow through, instead Of BY
suction" as in the common smoking. BY
means of this pipe, any one, though not
a smoker, can subject his bees to tie
soothing effects of tobacco smoke, and
deprive them of all disposition to sting
Combs can be removed, worms destroy
ed, artificial swarms made, surplus honey
removed, and all the operations perform
ed without the operator having on any
"bee bat" or other protection to guard
against their sting. If no bees are in
iured by squeezing or otherwise, no re-
resentment will be shown. Do not use
too much smoke, as it will stupefy the
bees. Bees seem to forget all about what
you may do when they are under the in
Auence of smoke, and viii manifest no
anger when afterwards approached, as
they would DO if you operated upon them
without first subjecting them to this tam
ing process.

And held it to the flame.

That fell, and fell, in fragments at my feet;
And last it burned the name.
"Such things must be-" watched the little
fakelets;
They futered at my breath: E
Quivercd like ashen lips Of penitence,
And filled my heart with foreboding sense,
OF mystery and death.
"such things must be-" These words said and
pondered:
Out of the wasted scroll
A thousand bitter griefs and woes were wrought
By the ETHEREAL fingers Of thought
That rembed in my soul.
"such things must be-" The day ispast foreyeri
The ashes swept awayi
And yester's joy is scorned and spurnedas folly !
Then why remember it with melancholy
That haunts me all the day'

After the Storm.

All night, in the pauses Of sleep, heard
The moan of the Snow wind and the Sea,
Like the wall Of Thy scrrowing children, o God
Who cry unto Thee.
But in beauty and silence the morning broke,
O'erfowing creation the glad light s;reamedi
And earth stood shining and white as the souls
OF the blessed redeemed.
0 glorious marvel in darkness wrought
With smiles Of promise the blue sky bent,
As if to whisper to all who mourn
Loves hidden intent.
