SOLDIERS ORGANIZING. = On Saturday
night last large and enthusiastic meet
ing was held at Newburgh for the purpose
of organizing Soldiers Association, SINH,
lar to the one being formed in this county,
and elsewhere in the State.
DR.. Eli. Lewis was chosen Chairman of
the Meeting, and Mr.. James G. Root, Sec
rotary. &@
The Resolutions adopted by the Wander
burgh County Soldiers Convention We're
read and Endorsed, and a resolution adopt
ed requesting all honorably discharged
soldiers. and their friends, to meet in Mass
Convention at Boonville, on Saturday, the
18th inst, to effect a permanent Organiza-
tion, or Association. sIa4lf.,r
The boys had procured a Brass Band to
discourse patriotic music on the occasion,
which lit is reported, was one of great en-
thusiasm. Rev. Jas. st. Clair, formerly
Chaplain of the gallant 65th Indiana, ad-
dressed the Meeting in a forcible and elo-
quent manner, and for a while the brave
boys lived over the past, or seemed to do
so. We hope that no soldier coming with
in scope of the call win remain away Old
Warrick has host of brave boys, many OF
whom are now suffering from wounds re-
ceived, or disease contracted, while nooly
defending the old flag, and it is but right
that they should meet together and CO.
operate for the good of such unfortunate
ones.
We hope that in each county in this Con-
gressional District similar organizations
may be formed, and that the 'boys who
wore the blue may be able to speak to
our delegation in Congress, as with the
voice of one man, touching the subjects
wherein they are interested. We should
like to hear from old Spencer early If
these organizations could be effected early
enough, it would be a grand idea for all the
boys of counties contiguous to this to meet
at some suitable and convenient place,
and celebrate the 4th of July. 1t would
prove glorious reunion.

Tho OIose of Winlor.

Yesterday was the last day of winter.
Both that and the day before were more
like warm spring days than cold winter
ones. Indeed, it may be esaid they were nn-
comfortably warm for theseason.
There has been, during the winter season
now past and gone, preponderanoe Of
pleasant over cold and stormy weather. Not
withstanding this, we have had brief vista
tions of as severe cold. as has been expe-
rienced in this latitude for many years. The
full effects Of these hard freezes are yet to
be seen, when the spring shall have fairly
opened. There can be no question but that
the wheat and fruit crops have been great
ly injured, and probably quite destroyed in
some localities. Yet, in this respect, 1t is
common to anticipate greater evils than
are afterward realized. 1t is wise to wait
patiently and see the result when it can be
fairly tested, without putting implicit faith
in those who seem to make 1t their special
vocation to prophesy evil, and that contin-
ually. Sf'T avs'V i.
The fine weather yesterday seemed to
foreshadow lamblike advent for March
to-day. Probably the lion will follow the
lamb in a few days. a.

A Life Insurance Policy should be held

not only to provide for himself, but for his
family. Get insured in the Home Life Of
Brooklyn, N. Y, which is acknowledged
by all capitalists to be one of the best pay

States. Though young, commencing In
1860, with cash capital of $l25,OOO all paid
in, its accumulations up to January 1st
1866, amount to over 100000 not a cent Of
which is retained by the directors, but is all
paid over to policy holders in annual dtvi-

playof Milky White was very favorably received.
Mr.. Couldock pefsonated the Dairyman well. as
might have been expected. He was not very easilk
heard when he was deaf; but after the operation
was performed and his hearing restored, his utter

Miss Hewitt played the Dairyman'S daughter with
hor usual vivacity, and sang charningIy. Mr.. Lee
represented the medical student and lover very hand
somely. as did Mr.. Irving the cowboy Dick. The
play isan odd and smusinng one.

chastisement OF war, iflthe general sense OF
the whole country shall come back to the
acknowledgment of the original assump-

our present gloom is but the shadow, the
penumbra of that deeper and darker eclipse

in state of inebriation. A colored gen.

Speech Of Hon. Alexander HI.
SteDhems.

Stephens.
The speech of Hon. ALEXANDER II. STE
PHENs, which we reproduce this morning,
is most admirable in sentiment and in tenn
per. The speech was delivered to the Leg
islature of Georgia, upon their urgent So
licitatiOn, and so well was it received that
by unanimous vote, it was ordered to be
spread upon the journals of that body.
There is probably no man in the South to-
day whose voice can exercise more poten-
tial influence upon Southern public senti-
ment than Mr.. STEPHENS; nor is there a
man there who has more accurate
knowledge of the public sentiment
than he has. The whole purpose of
his address is to reconcile the South
into cheerful acquiescence in their
failure to withdraw from the Union, and to
discharge their duty as becomes citizens
who have at heart the welfare of their
country. He urges upon them the impor-
tance and humanity of extending to the
Freedmen the kindest possible treatment.
This treatment he does not urge for the
purpose of propitiating Northern favor;
but on the score OF justice to the Freedmen
and self-interest.
This speech is worth more in the way Of
producing the right kind of feeling in the
South than century of such legislation as
the STEVENS, SUMNER and PHILLIPS Dis
unionists would impose upon the South
No man can doubt the honesty and
sincerity of Mr.. STEPHENS. He has always
borne the character of an earnest, sim
cere and conscientious man. President
JOHNSON is doing what he can to strengthen
such men as Mr.. STEPHENS in the South,
while STEVENS, SUMNER and PIHLLIPs and
their Disunion hackers are doing their ut
most to break them down, and thereby Gre
ate a chronic state of discomfort in the
South.
Whatduty more plain, then, for the peo-
pie who want the Union enduringly ce-
mented, than to vote out of power the poll
ticians who muster under the Disunion
colors of the Radicals?

Will Have TO Have Another Letter
From Gov. Cox.

EEOhMA NNONs IVA
The Washington special of the Ne,o York
Tribune, says that on the night of the 9th,
a Congressman and State Senator from New
York had an interview with the President,
and that in the couase of conversation the
President said that the test oath was lit
tie too severe, that many of those who had
participated in the rebellion were good
men to represent the Southern men in Con-
gress, and that the test oath ought not to
be applied to them. This was not all he
said. He volunteered the opinion, that a
mere oath to support the Constitution
was all that was necessary; for a man
who would take that oath was loyal
man. This was not all he said. He
expressed his views On the proposed
constitutional amendment changing the
basis of representation. Itwas his opinion,
that no constitutional amendment ought to be
passed until the public mind should be quite free
from excitement and the Southern States repre-
sented in Congress.
This is sound common sense. 1t is just
none the less so because it is in conflict with
the Revolutionary and crude notions the
Disunionists want to incorporate into the
organic law.
We feel like calling for three cheers for
these views. They are even better than the
veto and the speech of the 22d Of February.
Governor Cox, we apprehend, will have to
make another effort at reconciling the dis
agreement between the Disunionists in
Congress and President JOHNSON. 1t is
gratifying to know that the President yet
retains all his ''checks."
