The Difference.

Every regiment of soldiers that ar
rives at Indianapolis, without regard to
the State from which it halls, is provided
with plenty of good things to eat and
comfortable lodging places. The Sol
diers' Home, an institution peculiar to
our State, is crowded daily with veterans
on their way home to enjoy the luxury
of thirty days furlough, and with fresh
recruits on their way to the front to re-
lieye the gallant fellows returning home.
All OF these noble men are well and
comfortably provided for. In the case
of the returned veterans of our State,
they are given ovations at the State Cari
ital that must convince them of the
high estimate set upon their valor and
patriotism. Professions, public recep-
tons, eloquent speeches and magnificent
dinners attest the admiration which
these gallant men have excited in every
patriotic breast Indiana is presided
over by loyal and patriotic Govern
or, every pulsation of whose heart beats
in sympathy with the soldier.
Several regiments OF veteran vol
unteers recently arrived in New
York City. The time of their ar
rival was fully known, but no prepa
rations were made by the State
Authorities to receive them. No place
had been provided for their shelter. NJ
tables were spread for their entertain
ment No State officials extended Il
them hand of welcome. They arrived
in the coolest weather we have had thi
winter, tired and travel-worn, and hungry
and the only quarters offered to then
were the bare boards of the Park Bar
ricks, and even that dirty den, people'
Z with vermin, was begrudged them by tn
Copperhead Common Council. NeN
York is presided over by Governor
every pulsation of whose heart beats i
sympathy with the rebels That &C
counts for the difference. =

men in different parts of this District
are making arrangements to send good
delegation to the State Convention on
the 22d of next month. Conventions
have been called in several counties, and
the interest of the people in the matter
is becoming aroused r7
We urge upon every Union man, re-
CARELESS of his location, to do something
towards perfecting an organization, If
there are but ten Union men in town
ship they ought to have an organization.
They ought to meet, consult and work in
unison. Truth is mighty and will pre-
vail, but the hour of its triumph may be
FASTENED by its systematic and energetic
dissemination.

we drove the enemy $ videttes out OF the
village. r...,.t -
A portion Of our infantry under Gen.
Parks also moved up, but finding the
enemy in full force beyond cambridge,
fell back to his former position.
On Sunday morning, the enemy, see
ing that he had drawn our cavalry as far
as possible, made desperate attack on
our lines with Hoods and Bushrod John
sons divisions, led by Hampton's cav
airy. Observing their desperate pur--
pose, Sturgis ordered Col. McCook, com
handing a division of Elliofs cavalry,
to charge the enemy. This charge turned
the fortunes of the day, which up to this
time had been decidedly against US. =
Our loss was about $50. Sunday
night, our forces anticipating q flank

AN ARRIVAL FROM DIxIE-The Allan
ia (Ga.1 Confederacy reports the escape
from the prison at that place, of seven
teen prisoners, nine of whom were Fed
erals. We received a cali yesterday,
says the Nashville Dispatch, from Levi
Troxell, steward of the 9Th Iowa cavalry,
who was one of them. He informs rs
that twenty one escaped. He recollects
the names of only TIVE, Col. Gift, of East
Tennessee, and John Woolam, of the SD
Ohio. The latter was one of the party
sent out by Gen. o. NJ Mitchell in 1862,
to capture train and destroy some por-
ton of the railroad between Chattanoo-
ga and Atlanta They were captured,
taken to Atlanta, tried there and con-
demned to be hung Woolam, with a
few others, escaped from prison before
the day for hanging came round, and
made his way to Corinth. He subse-
quently joined his regiment, and was at
the battle of Chicamauga, where he was
captured by the rebels He was recog-
nized and sent to the prison at Atlanta,
with fifty pound ball attached to his
leg. -
They escaped by digging hole under
the prison wall. They managed to get
a cot against the wall, which, with the
darkness of the night, protected them
from the observation of the guard, and
they worked like beavers until q hole
large enough to admit their passing
through was excavated. The only i'm
plement they had with which to dig was
a bowie-knife. They had once before at
tempted to dig passage from the privy,
distance of sixteen feet from the wall
of the prison, but after they had excava-
ted thirteen feet they were betrayed by
one of their comrades. soIf0gr
Having succeeded in getting out they
made their way to the woods, and spent
three days within one and a half miles
of Atlanta, having in the mean time
scattered considerably. Mr.. Troxell
parted from Colonel Cliff and Mr.. Wool
am on the third day, and has not heard
OF them or any of the others who es-
capped at the same time. His compan-
ions proposed to endeavor to make their
way to the Federal lines by unfrequent-
ed roads through the woods, but Mr..
Iroxell determined on more public thor
oughtare, as the dark, gloomy weather
at that time rendered it very difficult to
ascertain the course that should be fol-
lowed, and making inquiries of the
country might be too hazardous His
plan succeeded, and he passed along
without molestation, taking Dahlouego'
Ca, and Ducktown, Tenn, in his route
and arrived safely at Charleston ON the
East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad.
Mr.. Troxell understood that Colonel
Cliff had been notified that he was held
as hostage for Major Henderson.
who had been arrested in Kentucky and
imprisoned by Gen. Burnside.
Maj. Troxell reports that there are
6f,y-fve wounded Federal soldiers in
the hospital at Atlanta, who are suffering
more or less for medical attention and
such necessaries as the wounded need.
Upon presenting the case to Medical
Director Perrin, that officer promptly
set to work to get them exchanged for
an equal number of rebel wounded now
In hospital at Chattanooga.
