The Voorhees, Correspondence.


We give IN our Indianapolis CORE.
pondence a letter from General Car
rington to Hon d. ". yoorhee.
stating some circumstances that le,
him TO Ihe conclusion that il was Mr.
Voorhees, office in Terre Ilaute il
which copies Of the ritual ofthe secre
conspiracy known at present by III,
name Of "Ihe American Knights.
was found. Mr. Voorhees, disowne,
the office, and demanded OF Genera
Darlington that AS he had publishe,
the falsehool, he should a!so publish
a reiutation. The General respond.
TO this by giving few specimens Of
their other discoveries. which We
should suppose would be quite salts.
factory 10 Mr.. Voorhees,.
The burden, "in The offices where
these papers were found" comes in at
the end OF every item, as pleasingIy
as the refrain OF a plantation melody.
or the chorus in song OF forty verses.
If Mr. voorhees, fell that il wonll
hurt bis politlesl standing To- hav4 4
known that some copies OF ilie. ritual
OF the order were found in his prem,
lses, how must he feel at this display
OF his communings with his accompi-
ces. We think that this exhibit will
remove any doubts as 10 the sufiicien-
cy OF the evidence on which General
Carrington has disclosed this conspir-
acy in Indiana, and will quiet the
Democratic pretense that it is all
gronndlesS. And il seems TO us that
the evidence is approximlting to such
a character that these conspiralors will
begin to see that the Government
holds their fate in its hands, and that
their existence here is wholly owing
TO its forbearancp.
The correspondence is an interest
ing exhibition of the desires, plans.
hopes and fears of the parties, and
1t seems to US, OF a disposition which
was somewhat wanting in resolution.
Senator Wall proposes TO furnish 90.
600 Garibaldl rifles, just imported,
for which he could vouch. A very
useful weapon for a Democratic peace
party. Mr.. Wall has served in one
Of our forts, and this shows what in.
Justice was done him.
Mr.. Vallandigham assures Mr..
voorhees, that "our people will&ght,"
and he is ready. Ready 10 have our
people fight, we suppose, as that IS
about as near ready as Mr. VaIlan-
ligham disposition makes him. He
las very bloody ways for other people. /
His directions are always of the most
anguinary hue.
Mr. Ristlne, the Auditor of State.
links this is bad war, and would
ike TO see the Democrats all unite
With their Southern brethren and
make il better war. But as he
links this hopeless, his only hope Is
n The successful resistance of the
south. Mr.. Ri,tine's spirit is will
ng, but he does not come. out strong
i the flesh. Persons who hold Office
re constitutionally disinclined to risk
hemselves i'll leading revolutions.
Mr. iibben thinks the Democracy
re fast stlfiening up, and that when
hey are starched TO the point of de-
larlng this war TO free the negro,
will break out in another section
t is sad TO learn that the Democracy
re SO unbelieving as yet to need
Iiffening up on this point, which the
.aders aud organs have been inserting
ito them ever since the rebellion pre-
lpitated.
Bingham, the outside sentinel of
ne order, has concern of mind for
formation. He wants TO know if
lr. Voorhees, thinks the South have
esonrces enough TO keep the Union
'rces at bay. lie wants TO be sure of
'at before he bays. He thinks Mr..
oorhees must have sources OF infor- :
Iatlon which Mr. b. has not. Such .
. lnqulrlng state OF mind, and such
'nder inquiry does not betoken action
: resolution. We suspect that Mr..
IS stock in the concern will all be
aid up in tender inquiries and men !
Il interest. This is not the metal t,
which the currency Of cracked f,
owns and bloody pates is made. /
We are not advised who it is that /
The worth trio, VallandigIi- !

'dy thought that as they we're a,sas. i

The letter Of Etheridge shows that I
