PERsoSAL-We we're gratifed, yester-
day, at an opportunity of shaking hands
with Capt Tremble, Company A, 42d
Regiment Indiana Volunteers. The Cap
tain, and a majority of his Company,
have re-eulisted as veterans, and are
spending their furloughs of thirty days
amid the delights of home, AID in the
society of loved friends.
The regiment is to be organized about
the lst of March, at Princeton. In the
meantime, the officers and men will busy
themselves picking up recruits Capt
Tremble has already been successful in
enlisting three or four good men, He
has established his headquarters at
Browning's Mill, in this county, where
he will be pleased to take the names of
all who may desire TO join Company A
of one Of the best regiments in the SER
vice. 1t may be well for these who have
thought of enlisting, to bear in mind
that the large bounty of 1902 is paid
only to the lst of March. After that
time the ranks are to be filled up by
drafted men. We shall be pleased to
learn that Capt. Tremble has recruited
his Company to the maximum His
whole soul is "fernenst" Butternuts,
whether they hail from the South or
North, and, therefore, he is the right
man to go with.

TO the People of Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Feb 4, 1864.
The President calls for FIVE hundred
thousand men. This includes the three
hundred thousand heretofore required,
and is, therefore, call for an additional
two hundred thousand
1t is known that this call so promptly
follows the last in order to secure, be-
yond all question, sufficient force to
close the war the present year.
1t has been rendered necessary by the
large number of veterans re-enlisted in
the field and credited upon the last call,
and from evidence received by the Gov
eminent that rebel conscription is
putting the entire male population into
ranks for final struggle.
By act of Congress the largo bounties
will cease March lst If the quota be
not filled by that date, the draft will fol
low March 10th.
1t is especially important that vigorous
efforts be Immediately made in counties
which failed to furnish their quota under
the last call If, to the former deficit,
the debt arising from the new call be
added, it will mako the draft in such
/ counties very severe. OOunIy anu Town.
ship authorities are, therefore, urged to
give immediate attention to the matter,
and to organize, by systematic effort, tc
raise the men. ,-.r...-. r-
The apportionment of the quota for
the new call will be published as soon as
definitely ascertained .gtE
Under this call no additional new reg
iments will be organized; but recruiting
officers for those already begun, will de
vote their whole time to their compile
/ ton.
Officers recruiting for old regiments
and veterans on furlough, are called
upon to throw their whole energy into
the work of filing up their respective
regiments, thus adding to the debt Of
gratitude which Indiana owes them for
their unnumbered gallant acts.
1t is one more occasion for Indiana tC
lead in the supply Of men to maintain
our Government in the war with this re
bellion, and thereby hasten its termina
ton.

Of the late raid on that place.
Captain J. D. Gillum, with his compa-

at that point to defend section of coun-

THE TICKET-There is a wonderful
unanimity amongst Union men, North
and South, as to the ticket for President
and Vice President in 1864. Abraham
Lincoln is the choice for President, and
Gov ernor Andy johnson, of, Tennessee,
for Vice These names constitute a
tower of strength, and the synonym of
honesty and fidelity. Such a ticket
would be free, too, from the charge of
sectionalism," as it would reunite the
North and South in a Presidential con-
test
Many Of our contemporaries have al
ready put up this ticket at the editorial
masthead, and flung the banner, in
scribed " LINCOLN & JOHNSON" to the
breeze. We couldn't be peter suited
than that the National Union Conven-
ton should confirm this choice of the
Press and the People for President and
Vice President-H Wayne Gazette.
This ticket is tower of strength.
Two such men-one the representative
of the Northern laboring masses, and
the other, the Southern poor whites-
could not be defeated. The people re-
cognize in them eminent ability, incor-
ruptible honesty and answering patri-
otism, and these are the characteristics
they wish at the head of the Government.

know the origin of the difficulties be-

which promises fair to involve all Europe

MUM They no doubt anticipated an
easy victory, but in this they were sorely /
disappointed, for Captain Gilum met
them with desperate and bloody resist /
ance. The Captain gathered his little
force in the Court House, and fought
them bravely for upwards of an hour,
when his ammunition gave out, and he
found that they had fred the town at
different points.
Under these circumstances, Captain
Gillum ca >;tulated with the rebel Colo
mel Hughes, who solemnly agreed that
\ the property of citizens should be re-
spected, and that there would be no de.
parture on their part from the rules OF
civilized warfare during their occupancy
of the town. They no sooner got posses
sion of the place, however, than the
usual pillaging and robbery of stores
and residences commenced, and every
thing that they could lay their hands
upon of value was appropriated. Not
satisfied with these outrages, in violation
of their pledge, the Clerks office was
broken into and the public documents
mutilated and destroyed, after which
they fred the building, together with the
Court House. By the almost superhu-
man exertions of the citizens, however,
the flames were extinguished, and por-
ton of the building and records saved
They broke open the jail, and released
two of their gang who were under in
dictment for murder The amount
stolen from the citizens will reach $50,
600 They seemed to be possessed of q
devilish disposition to mutilate and DIES
troy everything that they could not car
ry off with them, and the damages in
ficted will be soreIy felt-by the citizens
of Scottsville They made desperat,
attempt to burn the Jail, but were thwart
ed in their hellish design by the unitet
efforts of our soldiers and the citizens
ScottsvilIe has been plllaged severa
times by guerrillas, and the county rob
bed of most of the valuable property
contained before the war. We are not
little surprised that such an importan
point should be left so exposed to til
ravages of guerrillas. The people Q
that place hare time and again appeale
to our authorities for adequate protet
ton, but all to no purpose. The suppl
of ammunition was even scanty, an
that of itself would have forced su.
render. We hope that the appeals {
the sufferers from this raid will not b
made in vain hereafter. 4 force of so
men should be stationed at Scottsyill
