Relief for Sick and Wounded Soldiers.

TO Ire People or {,s4iaaa
The demands upon the Indiana State
Sanitary Commission for money and
supplies for the relief of our sick and
wounded soldiers, have of late greatly
increased. owing 10 the recent important
and bloody battles in Georgia and Nir-
ginia- The work performed by the Com
mission. through its efficient and self
sacrificing agents who are constantly
visiting the h )Spitals and battle fields,
has been of the greatest benefit 10 our
cause, and the relief thus afforded 10 our
brave and suffering soldiers is creditahle
to humanity and the enlightened age in
which we live. But the commission
cannot carry forward the great work they
have undertaken without means, aud l
know that the patriotic and loyal people
of Indiana need only to learn that assis-
lance is required and that their contri-
buttons will be faithfully applied, to in
sure a prompt and liberal response
Our soldiers, who have been stricken
down by battle and disease are entitled
TO every care and all the relief that kind
ness humanity can suggest. | therefore
sppeal 10 the good people of the State
to unite in a systematic effort on or
before) the Fourth Day OF july merit in
their respective cities. towns and neigh
borhoods to procure funds and supplies,
and that the same be sent rs soon as
practicable, by Express, to William Han
naman. Esq, President of Indiana SAM

promptly acknowledge the receipt of the
same
The supplies most needed are unaer
ciothing, 6aadages lint totceis, sheets piilo,cs,

advantageously by the Commission.

Battle of Chicamauqa.

The following thrilling incident of the
battle of Friday last, is told by a CORES
pondent of the New York Times:
| am about to narrate an incident
which will make draft on the faith Of
the reader even greater than did the as
sertion that portions of our line held their
position within fifty yards of the Rebel
works-and that is, that one portion of
our line retained all day position with
in fifteen yards of the rebel works This
heroic band was the brigade of Gel. Me
Kean, q brigade of Gibbons division of
Hancock 5 corps, and numbering about
eight hundred men.
The conduct of this eight hundred is
as splendid 4 stroke of heroism as eve.
lit up the story of 1.-The glory we call
Greece and grandeur we call Rome"
Through the liyelong day these men held
their line, within fifteen yards of the
enemy. and all his force could not dis
lodge them. Repeatedly, during the day.
the rebels formed double columns Of at
tack to come over the work and assail
them. and the officers could lie heard en-
couraging their troops by telling them,
.'there are only four or five hundred of
them-come on" Bat the moment the
rebels showed themselves above their
parape. line of fire flashed out from
behind the carthen mound where those
eight hundred heroes stood in anew
Thermopyla, and many a rebel threw
up his arms and fell prone under their
swift avenging bullets.
The sequel of this bit of history is as
curious as the deed itself-for while the
rebels dared not venture out TO assail Nc
Kean' men, neither could he nor his
command recede from the perilous posi-
ton. He could not get back to us-we
could not go forward to him. In this di-
iemma the ingenious device was hit upon
of running a sap" or zig gag trench,
up from our line to his. In this way a
working party were able to dig their way
up TO where they lay, bcgrimed with
powder and worn down with fatigue, and
few hours ago they were brought safely
away-''all that was left of them, left Of
eight hundred.
But Mexican; their gallant leader, he
came not away alive. Since eleven in
the morning he had lain behind the hui
wark, his yalor dcfended--a corpse
While standing up preparing to resist a
rebel assault, he fell, pierced by the bull
let of a sharpshooter, and after living an
hour or two in an aoonizing death in life.
begging his staff officers to put an end
to his misery, his heroic soul forsook the
turmoil of this weary warning world.

Forney's Last Interview with John c.
Breckenridge.

l shall never forget my last interview
with John c. breckenridge It was on
the evening of the 9th of August, 1861,
being the last day of the memorable
called session which WAS assembled on
the 18th day of July Of that year, by
Presidential proclamation. Widely as we
had differed. our personal relations were
unchanged. He knew how sinceerly
grieyed | was when, as early as 1896, he
allowed Mr.. Buchanan and the extreme
South To force him into the support of
Redemption, and how reIuc family. in the
black and bitter wears that succeeded,
l felt constrained to denounce him. In
the called session he had led the oppo-
siton to Mr. Lincoln with vehement,
unjust, and unsparing ability. And now
he was going to Kentucky. Good bye,
he said: Good bye, NO | said, mot
Good bye, Breckenridge, but farewell,
! GU will never again take your seat in
the United States Senate. He seemed
TO be surprised, as he said: "What do
you mean l will undoubtedly return TO
my post in December" No, my dear
sir, you will follow your doctrine into
the Confederate army; You viii go there
to show that you are with the enemies of
your country" To which lie answered.
and when he spoke the words | think he
was honest: If l go over the lines it
will be to bring back with me my runaway
son, Cahell. who has gone into the other
army wholly against my will; but we
shall meet ii we live, in the winter Il
wish it could be so. my friend" was my
reply but still | feel that Your good bye
will be a long farewell And this was

Once on time notion was started
that if all the people in the world would
shout at once. it might be heard at the
moon. So the projectors agreed it should
be done ia just ten years. Some thousand
shiploads Of chronometers were distri-
buted to the selectmen and other great
folks OF all the different nations. For a
year beforehand nothing else was talked
about but the awful noise that was to be
made on the great occasion. When the
time came everybody had their own ears
so wide open TO hear the universal ejacu-
lation of Boo-the word agreed upon
that nobody spoke except a deaf man in
one of the Fejee Islands. and n woman in
Pekin. so that the world was never so
