Indiana Looks well to the Interests

We have been favored with look at
the books of the Indiana Military Agen>
cy in this city. A clear register of all
soldiers that have been in our hospitals
at this Post since january 1st, 1868, is
kept-that of the Indiana soldiers, in a
book procured by the State; that of other
States, in book furnished by the agent
at this Post Col Horhbrook Every
one conversant with the fact knows that
the hospitals here have been well sup
piled with sanitary stores, the Military
Agent acting as Sanitary Agent also.
Since October, 1864, this agency has
attended to the collection of claims for
soldiers and pensions for widows. The
number of claims made is one hundred
and ifty-fonr, and the amount Of money
collected foots mp seventeen thousand
six hundred dollars, at a cost to the sol
dier or widow of one-sighth of one pei
cent This is not sll. Corpses have
been brought home through its agency
by which the relatives have saved one

Independence paI.

To-day we celebrate the anniversary
Of the Declaration of American Inds'
pendenee and of the establishment Of
Republican Institutions and Republican
Government, The Revolutionary fathers
fought seven wsArisome years to make
good their Declaration "thst ell men
are created equal; that they are endow-
ed by their Creator with certain unalien.
able rights, and that among these are life,
| berty and the pursuit Of hsppiness" We
glory in their heroism, their endurance,
their wisdom, and their love of justice.
Patient and self-relying, they struggled,
against the most adverse circumstances
until success crowned their endeavors.
No disasters appalled, them, no difficult
ties discouraged them, no suferings
overcame them. With unshaken confi,
dence in God and the justice of their
cause, they never tagged in their deter
mination and efforts until those who
would oppress them gave up the struggle
in despair and acknowledged their In
dependence. lsas6
But, to-day, the time hOnOred ami
versary is gilded with q new glory; ID
hallowsd with yet more sacred associa'
tiens. 1t should be observed with more
than ordinary sacr sdnesss and joy, for il
is the anniversary of nation redeemed
regenerated and disenthralled. The
children have proven themselves worthy
descendants of glorious ancestry; fol
while the fathers and mothers of the
revolution won our independence agains
the combined power Of European des
pots and mercenary soldiers, their sons
and daughters have preserved the Gov
ernment committed to their care; hav'

enunciated in the Declaration Of Inde
pendence, and demonstrated to gain

Our Returning Bra es.

The 6Sth and I'D regiments, and I'd,
22d, and 23d batteries had public re-
ception yesterday. Owing to the threat
ening and exceedingly preearious state
of the weather, it was determined to hold
the reception in the Tabernacle, instead
of the State House park, and accord
ingly, after faring sumptuously at the
Soldiers Home, the bronzedlveterans
marched, with tattered banners hutter-
ing in the breeze, through Washington
street, escorted oy the City Band-one
Of the best, by the way, to be found in
the West. The Tabernacle has its .ad
vantsges, az well as disadvantages. The
comfortable seats compensated, in some
sort, for the uncomfortable perspiration
induced by the gathering of so large q
crowd benea'h one roof.
After prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Foster,
State Librarian, General Mansfield arose
and announced that, owing to the SICK
ness of Governor Morton, Lieutenant
Governor Baker, himself an old and gall
liant soldier, would make the reception
speech Colonel Baker then proceeded,
in handsome, style, to pay the merited
compliment to the brave men who have
so nobly stood the test of the battle field
in defence of their country's flag, re-
GREETING, at the same time, that the
Governor illness had deprived him and
them, of the pleasure of officiating. In
the course of his remarks, the Colonel
read the following memoranda of the
services performed by the troops before
