taken the oath Of allegiance several diff

devote themselves to the serricc OF the

ThR 25TH VErERANs. We have, with
in the last Two or three days, frequently
heard the remark made By citizens. "How
quiet he city has been since the 25th
veterans rendezvoussd herel This is
not at ali strange, as it is fact, well
noted, that the Federal soldier is not
only hero but a gentleman The Indi-
ana regiments, as well as most regi-
ments, are made up Of the best men of
the Statesmen of intelIis euce and prin.
eiple, aud that there are occasionally
found among the soldiers individual
cases Of men who are reckless Of their
own and OF the reputation Of their CON-
rades in arms, who disgrace themselves,
none viii deny, yet il is the exception,
not the rule.
Our city has never been more or
derby or more quiet than since the a5tl
regiment Of veterans has been in on
midst 1t could not be otherwise viii
men whose gallantry has shone so con
spieuonsly on the field of battle. Brav
soldiers are always true gentlemen.

ga5-fhe Times says we have refused
to second their suggestion 10 present the
10Th regiment with new flag. We have
done nothing Of the sort, though every
body knows the suggestion Of the Times
was merely for buncombc.
Being under the impression that the
25th would receive new flag from the
State, with their victories insei ibed upon
it, we we're inclined TO prefer sppropria-
ting the money required TO pprchase a
flag, TO the fund for the relefof soldiers
families II, however, we are mistaken
in this, then we vote the aag to the sold.
iers We cannot, however, promise 10
subscribe TO the fund ~ literally a. the
Times man will, as his ,.anihcsnce TO
the soldier and his family hath no hounds.
