We learn from the indianapolis SsHti-
mel, that Gov MoRToE, of Indiana, is
organizing force of 10000 men, to take
possession of the polls, and control the
October and November elections in that
State by bayonets. One of the Major
Generals whom he has appointed for this
purpose is a scoundrel by the name OF
HuaHEs, who said in late speech that if
he had the power he would release the
rebel prisoners in Camp Morton, and put
SO,0O0 Democrats in their place saying
also, that the lamp-posts of Indianapolis
might be made useful in hanging Demo-
Gratis.
1t can hardly be doubted, unless Nor
TON recoils from his villainous purpose,
that this movement will precipitate civil
war in Indiana. The freemen of that
State will not permit their most precious
rights to be trampled out of existence in
this manner. They will resist the despie-
able tyrant who is thus forging chains in
their very presence.

Queer War Democrats.

A good story is told of the tricksters at the
late convention. The evening previous to
the organization it was generally understood
among the faithful of both factions, that har-
mony should prevail, and that the ticket for
Delegates to Chicago should be made up in
compromising spirit, and consist of two War
and two Peace Democrats.
But the Peace men, with no end or limit 10
their inventions Of mischief, and no scruple
to bar them from the commission of any tick
cry or corruption, and as ready to cheat their
friends as to fight their enemies, fixed up a
ticket without consulting the other side, had
1t printed, stuffed their pockets with them,
and went into the convention prepared to
take snap-judgment, to out-fank the war
party and to spring ballot before the victims
of the cheat could recover from the surprise
which the boldness of the movement would
produce.
When some of the lynx-eyed leaders OF the
war party found out what was in the wind
and accused the tricksters of bad faith, they
rolled up the whites of their eyes with all the
simplicity of injured innocence, and insisted
that the printed ticket was strictly in accor-
dance with the programme, for, said they, we
have taken John w. Dana and Gorham l..
Boynton to represent our side, and put with
them those well-known War Democrats, Hen
~ X. Bradbury and John Babson! 1t is suffi-
Gent to say that the intended victims of the
cheat couldn't see 1t In that light"

The Last Words of Col Stone.

Much has been said-but not too much-in
praise Of Col. Newton Stone, late command
er of the Vermont %, who fell in the second
days fight in the Wilderness. He was first
wounded in the leg and conveyed to the rear,
and after having his wound dressed, request
ed to be placed upon his horse, which was
done, when he Immediately rode to the front
and took his position at the head of his regi-
ment, amid the cheers of his men, whom he
addressed briefly as follows: swell, boys, thi.
is rough work, but have done as told you
wished you to do, not to leave for slight
wound, but remain just as long as you could
do any good; am here to do so as long as l
can" He then rode along the line speakinga
word Of good cheer to every company, and as
he halted to address Co. b, rifle ball pierced
his head and he fell from his horse corpse.
At that moment the regiment was forced back,
and the body of their Colonel was captur ed
but was Immediately retaken.-ISpringHeld

Rev. Sella Martin,

Miss Bremen once said, "the story OF the
Negro race is to be the romance of American
history" Some eight years ago, Sella Martin
was slave in New Orlesns. BY long study
and successful planning, he escaped from bon
dage, and afterwards became a preacher to
white congregation in Boston. He left
Boston and went to England, where by his
speeches and writings, he did much for the
cause OF his country. John Bright, who new
er writes nor speaks at random, says of Sella
Martin, "by his manners and able letters to
the newspapers, and by his many eloquent
speeches at large meetings in London and
elsewhere, he has had great influence upon
pubic opinion here" Martin has now return
ed to this country, and is TO be honored at
cooper Institute with large congregation to
hear his views on English opinion with refer
ence to the war. Before closing, we will refer
to the Rev. Samuel Crowther, an African
missionary, who has recently been consecrated
in England, as Bishop of Niger, This colored
Bishop was once slave boy, and was rescued
from bondage by a British cruiser. In his boy
hood, he has been several times sold once for
horse, and again for some tobacco. He has
translated the Bible into the Yorubu, and pro-
duced other library works of a religious char
acter His talents are Of the first order.

popular chord as its managers hoped, 1t ap-
peals to no deep enthusiasm, and In truth ex-
cites no great attention. After all the talk
about summoning "the people Ia convention"
lis felt by every body that the business Is to
be settled at Baltimore and Chicago, and not
by any side attempts of this sort.
General Fremont, it must be supposed, full
ly considered his own course, before he per-
mitted the use of his name in the factious
discussions which ushered in this convention,
and in the convention ITSELF But If he could
really understand his position, he would see
that he is one Of the two or three men in the
country who can least afford to permit the
use of their names in political canvass. His
fame, II it needs vindication, is not to be vim
Dictated in struggle for office. But he will
no doubt hold his course; and thus in his case
also the stigma of selfseeking and OF disap-
pointed ambition will for generations to come
give its color to his unfortunate record.
The New York Evening Post has the fol-
lowing remarks, and surely this able Journal
is radical enough to suit any reasonable man
or aspiring politician:
As political party manifestation it amounts
TO very little more than an annunciation OF
the private opinions of SO many individuals.
1t was in fact mass meeting which repre-
scented no particular organizations, and which
does not appear 10 have been controlled BY
practised men. The names which figure IN
the reports are little known to the pubic, and
do not carry with them any great weight
The greater part of those, indeed, who are
known, have won their regulations in the TO-
rum of criticism rather than in the sphere OF
! practical management.
The Post thinks it rather unfortunate that
two men from the same State have been NOM
mated as candidates, which seems to conflict
with certain clause of the Constitution that
requires the electors to vote for President and
I Vice President zone of whom, at least, shall
not be an inhabitant Of the same State with
themselves" But as Toots in the play says
eThis is of no sort of consequence" The
g-talked- of convention has been held and
it. doings published to the world, but In the
excitement Of the election next November
these demonstrations at Cleveland will scarce
| ly be remembered by the mass OF voters.

Atlanta. Ga.

The situation OF Atlanta, now being men,
seed by Shegnan's army, and the most i'm
portant front towards Charleston, is elevated,
and no doubt Johnston has fortified the posi-
ton, since it commands on its railroad con
nections the whole interior of the State OF
Georgia. 1t is hourishing town, laid out in
ls45. 1t had, in 1850, 2,572 inhabitants, and
in 1850, 9,445. -Four Of the principal railroads
of the State form junction here, and as the
center of the cotton and grain trade, it is also
the center of military operations in the Cotton
States. Eastward it has the Georgia Rail-
road, extending to Augusta, on the Savannah
River; southeastward the Macon and West
ern Railroad leads to Macon, Milledgevile
and Savannah; and southwestward the La
grange Railroad goes to West Point, seventy
two miles distant, on the Alabama frontier
Atlanta is 1ol miles northwest of Macon, and
III miles west of Augusta.

Lieutenant Stevens.

The remains of Lieut.. ORIS b. STEVENS
arrived 10 this city by the noon train OF yes
terday, and were Immediately carried to the
residence of his father in Westbrook. Lieut..
Stevens enlisted In the 9Th Maine Regiment,
in June, 1861, as private, and was promoted
tor meritorious conduct, to the post of LIST
Lieut. Of Co. F. His age is about "a. He is
. native of Westbrook, and son of Mr.. Alfred
Stevens of that town. He was wounded by
a shell at the battle of Spottsylvania Count
House, May 18th, and died two days after
wards at the hospital in Fredericksburg
His funeral will take place tomorrow after
noon at 3 o'clock, at the chapel of the Sem
inary in Westbrook-services to be conducted
by Rev. Mr.. McCollester.
death loves . shi aing mark"
Lieut.. Stevens was high-minded, magnan-
imous, brave man. Everyone thoroughly ac-
quainted with the deceased will bear ample
testimony that he was never known to be
guilty of a mean act. He entered the service
not for pay, but because he loved his coun-
try; not for honor, but to assist in crushing
the rebellion. He was for the Union, one
and indivisibe, and for freedom TO each and
to ALL He understood the cause of the re-
bellion, and sought its removal as the only
possible means by which peace could be re-
stored, aud the Union established on the
eternal rock of freedom.
A widower without family, Lieut.. Stevens
thought he could be better spared for the
service than Others and with noble self
sacrifice, he voluntarily and cheerfully threw
himself upon the altar of lofty patriotism,
and died glorious martyr to theSause Of
universal liberty.
God grant consolation to the afflicted par
ents. In the midst of this severe bereave
ment may they rejoice that though dead he
yet speaketh" in behalf of human rights, and
that his name will be held in sweet remem-
brance by surviving friends.
