The career of this brave and dashing
young officer has been a series Of brill
liant successes, and we suggest to the
President that, as the recipient of his
brevet appointment has recently as
sumed his position as a married man,
which increases family expenses, he

If Sherman gets through safely, and &C
complishes the object of his expedition,

evacuated, it will be taken.
The indianapolis Journal says that,
during his recent absence in the East,
Governor Morton made arrangements |
for the payment of the January install !
ment of interest on the Indiana State |
debt The suspicious fight of John c.
Walker, the Copperhead Indiana State
Agent, will therefore make no more diff
ference in the honest discharge of the
States obligations than his presence
has heretofore done. The Governor
has way of doing the right thing,
whatever others do, or don't do The
Journal is also authorized to say that
