are several cases in Corydon. but they generally
yield to prompt medical treatment. We also

-THE WAR or THE JULIAN AND ANTI-JULIAS
FAcrIoSs-CnoIcE ExrRAcrs-The Richmond
Jeffersonian gives the following extracts from the
Republican papers in the Fifth Congressional
District in regard to the war now raging between
the two wings of the Abolition party. When
rogues fall out, honest men are likely to hear the
truth:
The campaign for the abolition nomination for
Congress in this district opens rich. The ball
opened ut Centreville the 18Th, and the work
OF elimination and recrimitaton goes on yigor-
cusly among the factions. The Julian men
charge the Meredith men with packing the con-
vention with soldiers, mostly from other counties,
from the camp at this place, with furnishing
them free ride to Centreville, and that they
were specially drilled for the occasion. The
Meredith men charge that the officeholders-the
postmasters, provost marshal and deputies,
assessors, deputies &c who received their ap-
pointments through the influence of Julian, at

accounts the factions give OF each other, they are
u terrible of rascals. and neither of the men
they are quarreling over is worthy the support of
honest men According 10 the statements they

ers is "a notorious lbertiue, a man against whom
the Grand Jury Of the county found true bill
for manslaughter." &c.
The Axe says of the proceedings of the Con-
venton:

Republicans OF the district. announcing himself

in which he says:
