A well regulated militia is essential to the
administration OF the state government, as
well as to the discharge of her duties as a
member of the Union, At the beginning OF
my administration, a total disorganization
of the militia existed. Under the act of the
general assembly, passed the 18th day of
March last, appointed Jno. A. Gilmer as
Adjutant General with instructions to car
ry out the provisions of said act. The du-
ties to be performed were twenty times
greater than they were before the war. Near
ly five thousand officers had to be elected,
commissioned and qualified, correspon-
dence to be conducted with every county in
4, the state, and innumerable other difficult
ties to be overcome. The salary allowed to
this officer, when the services were compare

that this was an oversight, and that you
would make him adequate compensation,

his duties. Herewith submit his report and

Union Rally at Eureka

The Union men of Spencer and
-Warrick Counties had a large and en-
thusiastic rally at Eureka on Satur-
day. Not less than two thousand
people were present. It was in most
favorable contrast with the meagre
Copperhead meeting at the same
place few weeks before General
WILLIAM HARROW and Judge L. @.
DEBRULER spoke in the forenoon,
and after the Basket Picnic the meet
ing. was addressed by Chaplain St.
CLAIR. Gen. HARRow's speech gave
great satisfaction, and we are assured
that both these counties are safe for
handsome majorities for the gallant
soldier for Congress.

Democratic Meeting Last Night

The Democratic and Conservative meet
ing at Mozart Hall, last evening" was large
and enthusiastic, much larger than was
anticipated. The most substantial citizens
were presentAnaen who have taken no
part in politics for three or four years. The
utmost enthusiasm was displayed through
out the proceedings. The lovers of the
Union are awakening to the, dangers
which threaten their Government. The
meeting was called to order by Mr.. Stinson,

Attention! Mr. NihIaek.

We ask your attention to a bakers
dozen ofquestions, which we PROFOUND
to the Evansville Courier, but which
concern you somewhat. The Courier
insists that it is information which
should be kept before the people, and
as its circulation is very limited, we
are doing what we can to assist it in
the laudable work. Wouldn't it be
well for you to enlighten the people
on the subject, especially as one of
your leading organs thinks it should
be known? You are fresh from Con
sgress, and can tell us all about it.
i And as you are principled against
appearing before the people in com !
pany with your competitor, Ito dis
cuss the living Political issues of the
day" (extract from the Vincennes
SIN, Aug. 9th, }, it would be well for
you to communicate what information
you have on the subject through the
papers! As it is a matter which
should be kept before the people, we
presume the Courier, or the SIN,
would give you the use of their
columns. If they refuse, call onfthe

Restrictlon of one AppoInting Power.

pointing power of the President,
says: aas 5Hsfa ne Ih :. tss.taa

existing law, unless when such office shall

We commend this to the attention
of our Copperhead friends who are
anxiously looking for their share of
the Offices, which the President, on
Saturday, promised should be placed
in possession Of the friends of his

following:
"He had advertised special attractions for

children. They we're SO we'll pleased that he
found it advisable to point out to them the
way Of exit, SO that others might find room
to enter. The reply was, Faith. and I'm
not going out ; we come TO spend the day
wi ye.' The wit of the Snowman vas again
tried, but he met the emergency by having .
sign painted, in large letters 'Egress,' which
he fastened over the door leading through
the rear to Ann street. The trap caugh
