A DEMOCRATIC SOLDIER ON THE
WAR.-Gen. Nathan Kmball of Indi-
anna, the man who out.maneuvered
and whipped StonewalI jackson at
Winchester, led the forlorn hope at
Fredericksburg, where he was severe
ly wounded, and is now with Gen.
Sherman, made a speech at a public
meeting at indianapolis:
He said that lie was Democrat,
and meant 10 live and die a Demo-
crat but he had no word but of con-
demnatlon for those who faltered or
failed TO stand by the army, and the
country. There could be no peace,
but All honorable one, and no honora-
bic peace could be obtained without the
suppression of the rebellion. An ar
misice, a dishonorable peace, was on
iy renewed and interminable war.
For the men who forced the country
to submit to the rebellion, or acknowl-
edge the Coniederacy degrade the ma
ton and disgrace its army, An ar
misticC, he said was nothing but pro.
posal to give the rebels chance TO re-
new their ability to attack us. There
was no honorable or safe course but
10 fight to the last, and if the people
at home would only unite in holding
up the hands Of their brethren in the
field, the war would not last three
months.

been hehl in Richmond. Il was a

and who have done their utmost to
destroy American liberty. The sue
