the necessity of the Bureau in increasing
the distribution of rations. By a recent
census of that State, forty-three out OF
fifty-two counties return 1921 destitute

TIE Indianapolis Herald seems to
have no abuse for anybody on the
Union State ticket but General KIM
BALL. We are not surprised at this.
OF all the candidates on our ticket,
General KIMBALL has been most con-
spieuous, in fighting and whipping
rebels. At Winchester, SToNEwALL
JACKSON, the Herald's beau ideal of
military chieftain, was gloriously
defeated by General KIMBALL. At
Antietam, General LEE, another Her
aid idol, was robbed of a victory he
had nearly won, through the incom-
potency of the commander of the
Union army, by the heroic gallantry
of the noble Gibraltar Brigade, and
its indomitable Commander, General
NAT KIMBALL. 1t is not to be ex-
pected that the Herald will ever for
give the General for the part he took
in the war; but is not its opposition
and hostility the best reason in the
world why every friend of the Union
in Indiana should rally to his support?
So it will turn out, we verify believe.

There was afight reported at Ridgeway,
seven miles mp the lake from Fort Erie, on
Friday evening, in which the Fenians are
said to have been defeated and scattered.
English troops now occupy Fort Erie.
Another report says the English were re-
treating from the Ridgeway fight.
A'dispatch from Toronto, dated Saturday,
II: 25, p. NJ, says troops took the train
Saturday morning for Ridgeway. The
Fenians were found encamped in the bush,
three miles from Rfdgeway Station, and
were at once attacked and drove. A num-
Der were killed on both sides. The volun-
teers behaved splendidly, it is said, and it
was believed the militia would hold the
Fenians in check until the regulars and
artillery should arrive.
The latest news from Canada, up to Sat
urday night, is of a conflicting character
The fight at Ridgeway on Saturday is con-
fir1ned. Both parties claim the victory.
Forty Fenian prisoners were brought to
Fort Erie by a British tug. Afterwards, it
is said, company of Canadian artillery
surrendered to the Fenians. All accounts
agree that the Fenians were wOrsted at
first The British regulars had not reached
the field of battle at late hour on Satur-
day. A considerable number seem to have
been killed on both sides. The fight at
Ridgeway only lasted twenty minutes.

On our second page we copy two or
three choice articles from the Indiana
wing of the rebel press. But little
comment is necessary.
The article in the Courier suggests
to a correspondent the following
points:
Let loyal men remember, that
though they may forgive the rebels,
the rebels do not intend to forgive
them. 4 s i.h1e.
Let loyal men remember, that these
rebels, under the name of Demo
Gratis, are nursing their wrath to keep
it warm.
Let loyal men remember, that the
rebels nurse their fiendish malice
against loyal men with the full deter
mination of wreaking vengeance upon
their heads if they once get the power.
Let loyal men remember, that this
organ of these rebels, in its issue Of
March 9Th, proposed to convert Union
forts into "bastiles for a real set of
traitors-traitors who were lately
over loyal"
Let loyal men remember, that this
organ, May 9th, speaking of the
leading spirit of the late rebellion, !"
declared, They have made many
sacrifices during the war The best
blood of the South has been shed in
defence of what they deemed to be
right. The glory Of dying IN battle
for their ancient cause Is ample remit
neration for the loss Of a fe'o gears that
might haze remained to many of them

been true to the country, ever faithful to
its flag, ever devoted to the rights of strug-
Cling humanity. No political party in
any country or in any age has fought on
a plane so lofty, or achieved SO much for
country, republican institutions, the cause
of freedom, of justice, and of Christian
civilization. If it should perish now in
the pride Of strength and of power, by the
hand OF suicide. or by the tollies Or treach-
cries ot men ii has generously trusted. it
will leave to after times brilliant record
OF honor and of glory. The enduring in
terests OF the regenerated nation, the rights
OF man, and the elevation of an emanci-
pated race alike demand that the great
Union republican party, the outgrowth
and development OF advancing civilization
in America, shall continue to administer
the government it preserved, and frame
the laws for the nation it saved.
