indeed, to all. The rebels put out the

WEDNESDAY DECEMBER "a
We copy this morning from the In
FpANsAILLE, IND.

We copy this morning from the In
dianapolis Joarnal o very condensed |
summary Of the provisions Of the bill
recently passed by the State Legisla-
ture, providing for the payment of the
State debt. This is q matter in which
the people are. greatly interested, and
they win regard everything throwing
light upon the subject as worthy their
careful attention.
A friend, who perhaps is better &C
quainted with the provisions Of the new
Law. than any other man in the State, has
promised to furnish us soon with SUM-
mary of its more important provisions.
Should be not disappoint as, our read
ers, we will say in advance, will find his
review of the subject reliable in every
particular.
We regard it as very fortunate that
the Legislature did not adjourn without
definitely settling the vexed questions
growing out of the payment of the
States Indebtedness, and we think, so
far Is we understand the matter, that
the Legislature his made as wise pro-
visions as could reasonably be expected.
At any rae, we may anticipate that
six or eight hundred thousand dollars
in the hands Of the Sinking Fund Com
missioners will no longer be used by
them to enrich themselves and personal
and party favorites. We understand
that the large sum Of money in the
Sinking Fund has been used for some
time past BY some Indianapolis brokers
and spectators, without paying one
dime of interest; and, furtherS1sAat a
large amount--some say two hundred
thousand dollars-has been lost to the
State By the sudden "going under Of an
Eastern Banking House. We know
nothing concerning the truth of these
rumors, but that they are in circulation
in sufficient reason for an investigation
and change in the management of the
Sinking Fund. We are unacquainted
with tho provisions of the new law, but
we trust that it remedies this difficulty,
and we are informed that it does.

Mr.. BRIGHT ON THE MASSACRE.

Mr.. John Bright, in his speech at
Blackburn, England, on the last day of
November, said: ~ ~ -
at dare not trust myself to speak
what feel on this subject. fear that
the fame of England has received a
deeper wound or darker stain than it
has from the recent transactions in that
island. / Judge only from the state
ments made by those who are living
and who are most concerned. The dead
can confess nothing of their offences,
and they can make no complaints of the
wrongs which they have endured. /
take my opinion only from documents
furnished here by those whose interest
it is to put q most favorable interpreta-
ton upon their conduct; and 4 say that
if murder, foul murder-and there is no
murder more foul than that which is
done by men in authority under pre-.
tence of law-I say, if murder has not
changed its name, and be vet a crime
visited with punishment in this country,
then | hope that the Governor of ia
maica and his acconplices will have to
stand at the bar Of justice for the muir
der of Mr. Gordon.
mo words Of appeal or remonstrance
from Mr.. Cardwell, Secretary Of the
Colonies, under whose departments these
matters more particularly come, will be
sufficient. 1t is not question of Sec
rotary of State or for department.; il
is question for the Crown cheers +
it is question for the Prime Minister,
for the whole Cabinet, for the Parlia.
ment when it shall meet, and for the
whole nation, whose eharacter for justice
and for mercy is at stake. Great cheer
ing. / will not believe that Lord Rus
sell in this matter, any more than in the
matter of reform, will disappoint the
just expectations of the people.

while 10 front Of the position streamed .

where was Dollyi
He had rushed ahead, with his drum
thrown across bis shoulder, regardless Of
the flying missiles, and not seeming to no
tice that his comrades had come to halt.
Dolly, come back! Come back, Dol
ly !" burst from over . hundred voices.
"No, You come onw shouted the boy,
as he half looked around.
But there was no more " come on " for
that regiment. They had fred their last
cartridge, and advance was out Of ques-
tion. Even if they could bold their
ground under that whitening fire, they
could not do it without ammunition, and
we're compelled TO fall back for another
supply.
AS the order to retire was given, Dolly
was heard beating the charge in the dis
tance. .,.
BY five o'clock in the afternoon the bat
tie was won. Tho rebels had been re-
pulsed at every point, and the Union
troops though wearied and sadly shatter-
ed, were in full possession of all the
ground from which they had been driven
the day before. Details were sent out as
soon as possible, 10 bury the dead and as
sist the wounded. Among them detail
from The - Kentucky visited the spot
where they had made their furious and
successful charge upon the battery. Buts
and Long Jim Allen formed themselves
into special detail to search for their
pet drummer-boy, for they made sure
that he was either killed or captured. The
guns which they had taken were still in
position, and if they had not been, they
could have easily recognized the place by
the bodies of their comrades which were
strewn upon the ground.
Passing on towards the spot where
Dolly had last been seen, they carefully
examined the bodies of the fallen as they
went. Soon they heard faint drum
beat, tapping occasionally. Following
the sound, they found the boy behind a
bush near corpse. He was in sitting
position, with his back propped by a
stump. His drum was by his side, and
with bis fast failing strength he struck it
now and then with bis drumstick. On
the other side lay the dead body of reb-
Ell. AS they went nearer, they saw that
both his legs had been taken off by a
shell or shot.
The boy recognized them as they ap-
preached, and a pleased smile frightened
his pallid face, upon which the death
damps were already settling.

President johnson has but to blot ont
from his heart the bitter, and, after all,
petty troubles, that he has had for two or

to what he thought in 1860, and boldly
to model his action on that, and he will
see how, like whirlwiDd, the sentiment
Of North and South will respond to it, at
this hour.
Let him move with caution. Let tho

tinue till bis measures are all prepared.
In the meantime. let him follow out the
pacificatory measures that it is under
