We suppose Gov. Stone had some ink
ling of the fact that +. II. Thayer was
writing him a killing letter for publica-
ton, for he has ordered that the militia
oath be modified by substituting The
words 1.-The United States government"
In place of Federal administration, "
and the word "authority', in the place
OF the word "power,N so that the obnoX-
ious Ito Paw-Paws) part OF the oath
reads:
and l do further swear that do nov belong
to any organization. either secret or otherwise.
which has fO its object opposition to the present
war against the states in rebellion or opposition
to the United states government in its Efforts 10
prosecute sad war; and d hnTe no nd t N
desire is to see such war prosecuted VITA NtT23f
until the rebellion is crushed and an honoIaQle
peace is restored: and to this end will 1a'lhlptF
exert my influence and endeayor 10 sustain
those in authority To all this without rcsefVa-
ton fully and cheerfuily agree.
But this won't satisfy Thayer. lie
won't swear that he 'doesn't belong TO
any organization opposed to the war
against States in rebellion or to the gov
eminent in its efforts to prosecute said
war; He wouldn' swearthat she has 10
sympathy for those in rebellion and t.lat
he desires vigorous war until the rebel
lion is crushed and an honorable peace
is restored" Not he. But we notice our
soldiers discharged with honorable
wounds don't hesitate to swear &c all
that. We saw the three commissioned
officers Of company iii an adjoining
township who had all seen hard service
In the army take the entire oath with
out a word of complaint. But then
their loyalty isn't to be compared with
Thayers. O, no!

How the Soldiers Vote

The 18th Indiana Veterans, in Sheri-
dams army, took a vote the other day
with the following result: Lincoln
1913; Mcclellan, lG. For Governor OF
Indiana the vote was, Morton 533, and
Mcdonald ). The Sth Indiana voted
unanimously FOR Lincoln and Morton.
These were the boys VINO ui6 tie bust
ness for one General Early, the other
dav. They know how to fight and how
to vote.
A vote was taken in the Jarvis Hos
pital, Baltimore, on the 18th inst, with
the following result: Lincoln, Dr.
Mcclellan, 1877; Fremont, !.
BY dispatch from st. Adams we are
enabled to give returns OF the Congress
sional vote in nineteen companies OF the
Vermont Brigade. The aggregate is as
follows:
FIRST District-N- oodbridge, -; Merritt Clark,
Second District Morrill,. los; OrInsby,2.
Third District-BaXter. 90; Harrington, /.
1t will thus be seen that out OF two
hundred and ninety-four votes, two
hundred and eighty-ive were polled for
the Union candidates and but nine for
the Copperhead. Our brave soldiers eY-
identity know what they are voting for.
The patients in the military hospitals
nj Nashville voted for the Presidential
candidates on Thursday last In Hos
pital No. Lincoln received l6S, McClel-
Ian %, and Fremont 6 votes. III Hos
pital No. 10 the vote for Lincoln was

The Dubuque papers, last received,
describe the sharp operations of one
Mcclellan, n commission merchant OF
Cedar Falls, who left for "parts I'M
known" between shutdown and sunrise,
one night Last week. The Herald thus
writes concerning this "Little Mae" :
Commencing with no pecnnary means, he

Can 4 he SHIFTED.

The following is from the Evansville
Times of the 9Th.
GOLD vs.. PAPKR.-The Chicago Post
predicts, that, on or before the frat
day Of January next, the actual cur
reney OF the country in all commercial
transactions will be gold and silver.
Treasury-notes will be discarded. and al
contracts in business affairs viii be upon
gold basis Treasury-notes are legal
tender, it is true, and will answer all
purposes of paying debts; the deprecia.
ton Of paper money is greatly to the adj
vantage of the debtor and to the loss of
the creditor; and every cent taken from
the value of legal-tendsrs is cent which
is eventually to come oct of the credit
ors pockets. The more money there is
due man, the greater will be his loss,
and that loss is now inevitable. No doc.
trInes or legislation can give q value 10
paper which ii does rot possess, and the
sooner the crash comes, as cone it must
the sooner it will be over, and the busi.
ness Of the country restored to a proper
basis.
Nothing suits the Copperhead papers.
In order to be able to condemn the Gov
ernment, they make the most absurd
and contradictory complaints. 1t has
not been long since We noticed in one
OF them an article justifying the repudia-
ton of the war debt when the "Democ-
raey' get into power, and consequently
the destruction of the whole treasury
note, bond, aud national bank-note sys-
tenn. The justification was put upon
the ground that the people at large held
comparatively few of these obligations,
aud that their redemption has TO come
eventually out of their pockets, and that
they will have to pay vast sums in gold
lor which they have received no value.
There the sympathy was altogether
against the moneyed lords" as thew
were called, Now, the tune is changed
1t is these moneyed Lords" who a.
the great creditors; to whom p;ns,n
nine out of hundred dollars are dna
Now the sympathy is with them.
If the redemption of the Goyernm.n,
obligations in gold, the only medium of
final redemption, will bear heavily on
the laboring masses and conduce to the
interest of the heavy monsyed men who

they get the mint drops every six
months as interest, and keep the bond:
