Large Premiums.

By the following dispatches, which we
received from Indianapolis on Saturday,
it will be seen that most liberal induce
ments are offered by the War Depart
ment for the encouragement of volun-
teers. Every civilian who secures re-
cruit is entitled to SIS if he be a new
recruit, and S25 if he be veteran. This
is certainly an inducement for the boys
to go to work:
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 6, 1864

peared on the opposite side of the river,
thirteen of whom crossed in skifs, took
possession of the boat, captured Gen.

all of whom were asleep.
The rebels afterwards burned the boat.
All on board were paroled, except Scam
mon and three other officers. The pris-
oners were mounted and sent off for the
interior.
Our forces had started in pursuit.

MEssRs. EDITORS: The TGmes-the

have anything to do but abuse the Jour
nal Company. It has the Journal
phobia. This course is prompted by a
desire to lessen the influence of the Jour
nal, and, incidentally, to injure the
Union cause. This is a low and con-
temptible mode of opposition, and per-
haps the best plan to pursue would be not
to notice the paper and its villifcation
of individuals; but as misrepresentation
is likely to be caused in the minds of
some Union men, and well-meaning peo-
pie Of 'he opposition, by sundry charges
