Waste and extravarapce sppear 10 be the order

Waste and extravsgaDce appear to be the order
Of the day. Economy. frugality and thrift are no
longer commended and practised. as in the purer
and better days of the Repulic- IL our women
instead of volunteering to take the places of men
who would enlist for the war had associated
themselves together to resist and overcome the
wasteful and absurd extavagance Of the times,
their example 10 that regard would have been Of
great service in restoring virtue and purity which
are the strength and glory of a nation. The
criminal extravagance OF the people at the pres
ent time is without parallel. The resources Of
the nation are being wasted in riotous living
and at time when retrenchment and re-
fern should be the rule This is a work
to which they should direct their attention and
energy, and for which they are peculiarly fitted.
II they desire to do good and accomplish real
benefit to the nation, let them make war upon
the extravaganza which pervades every class Of
society. for it is the cause of more demoraliza-
ton and crime thsRvaIl other causes combined.
But enough We only make these sugges-
tons to show what can be done and what should
be done by those who have personal or official
influence. and whose duty il is to exert it for the
public good.

How Is 1T!

Under the contract between the Governors of
Ohio, Illinois. Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa and
the President, Governor MORTON issued his call
to the people Of Indiana to raise twenty thousand
men for the service of the United States for one
hundred days Governor BRoUGH. of Ohio. issues
a different proclamation He orders out the or
ganized or active militia of the State to the
extent Of twenty thousand. and of course for
service icithin the State. for he has authority
to command them to engage in any service ous-
side OF it, Why this, difference between the
action of the Governors of Indiana and Ohio?
Did Governor BRouGH have better. understand
ing with the Secretary OF War to the service
in which the eighty five thousand troops were to
be employed than our own wise and energetic
Governor?
We understand that Secretary STANTON has
directed the military authorities OF Indiana, to
issue call upon the active militia Of the State.
upon the persons liable to military duty. similar
to that Of the Governor Of Ohio There s a dis
tinction between the service of the State and the
service Of the United States, the latter being
considered more honorable and desirable than
the former. If the Secretary of War has issued
the instructions we have stated, then it appears
he has no intention of using the eighty-fve thou
sand one hundred days men on any other duty
but to garrison the camps and Notifications with
in the several States. and for that duty the Lee
gion Of Indiana are to be call ed out and detailed.
Ifsuch be the case, and the action of Cover
nor BRoUGH warrants the supposition that it IS,
in what light does il place the pompous procla-
nation of o. P. NJ calling for twenty thousand
volunteers for service in any State of the Union
for one hundred days. and the teleg raphic
announcements that our chivalric aud self sac
rifcing Governor intended to place himself at
their head to fight the rebels and perhaps to
lead them to glory or the gravef WaS be

Military and Political Affairs N bout &
Wash iugtOu.

The intelligent and readable Washington cor
respondent OF ihe New York Journal of Com
merce, under date Of April 25th. writes as fol-
lows in regard to the condition of affairs in that
city: .at
An English officer here on a visit yester
day asked American friend if the cavalrymen
now on guard in this city we're specimens of our
sOdersf The reply was, "they are not:" where
upon the officer remarked, Il am glad of il, for
a more filthy set OF men i never saw" This is
indeed hu initiating, and the of discipline
which prevails among the troops quartered in
Washington is subject OF constant remark.
The only place where there seems any show
of order or idiness is about the private residence
OF Gen Haileck, on the Hights. of Georgetown,
where there are genteel soldiers always guarding
the house from-nob0dy knows what danger
and where at all sorts Of odd times a bugle is
perpetually footing for the amusement of the
boys When Burnside's troops were coming over
from Annapolis they spent one night near the
Agricultural College of Maryland and before
they resumed their warlike march they destroy ed
about tour miles Of post and rail fencing. Aud
MARYLAND is N loyal State. and our people are not
barbariansl And 10 is also said that where these
men eucamped, after they had gone the ground
was covered with equipments which had been
fooshly and wickeily abandoned. Surely such
needless havoc and waste would not be permitted
by officers who knew their duty .....t --1
At Union League meeting which came off
last evening, person named A. NJ. Scott made
the following interesting remarks: That Con-
gress instead of passing gold bills to prevent
speculation, should at once order the erection OF
scaffolds for hanging the brokers of Wall street:
and Mr. T. H Gibbs said that the people OF
Tennessee '.do not know anything but Abraham
Lincon,'' and that the only ticket worth talking
about for the coming contest is that with A. Lin
coin for President, and A. johnson for Vice

The Injustice To Indiana.

b Ohio has nearly double the population of Iudi
ana. and Illinois numbers much more. at least
twenty FIVE or thirty per cent. Indiana's propor-
ton of the eighty-fve thousand hundred days
men offered to Mr.. LIScoLs by the Governors of
Ohio, Illinois, Indiana. Iowa and Wisconsin would
be about thirteen thousand. Notwithst andine this
difference in the population, Governor MoRroS
offered to put Indiana upon par with Ohio and
Illinois, To say nothing about placing this
burden upon the Western States. when New
England and the Eastern States have not even
filled their quotas, and our own State is in excess
Of all the demands made upon her. Governor
MORTON pledges Indiana. without the knowledge
or consent Of her citizens however. for just as
many militia or hundred day men as did the
Governors of Ohio and Illinois. Why should
Indiana be thus burdenedi Was Gov. MORTON
overreached by Governors BRoueH apd YArEs,
or was be willing, the representative Of Indiana,
to place this burden upon her people to advance
bis personal interests? 3f
