of the most eventful incidents of the
late Rebellion. These records will Off
cially establish the fact that at three
several and distinct times and places
'hostile feet pressed the soil of In
diana;" LIST, by Col. ADAM JoHNsoN's
raid upon Newburgh, in Warrick
County, in July, 1862, where he plum
dered the United States Hospital (;
I'd, at West Franklin, Posey County,
in November, 1862, where the rebel
Colonel HALL and his armed band
of Confederate guerriIlas robbed the
town Of its firearms and other prop
.erty, and carried off one Of the promi-
nent citizens Of the county as a
prisoner; and Bird, the celebrated
Morgan raid, which is well known to
the whole country, except the iTe
Justices of the Supreme Court. The
official Records will also set forth
the operations of the Indi-
ana Legion in defense Of the Border,
constantly threatened; the conspiracy
of the Sons of Liberty to over
throw the Government; and the pres
ence of thousands of rebel prisoners
of war at Camp Morton near the State
Capital. These historical items will
furnish some good reading for Justice
DAVIS and his associates of the judi
cial gown, and may throw some light
upon the question of the status of In
diana at the time of the MILLIGAN
and BowLEs trial, which they say
was not state Of aoGr. "
And in order to give the seal of
popular authority to the action of the
Governor in thus forwarding the off :
cial records, the following Resolution
has been introduced into the State
Senate; and will undoubtedly pass
both Houses:
WHEREAS, On three several occasions
during the existence OF the rebellion, the
State of Indiana was invaded by the mill
tary forces OF the so-called Confederate
States of America; and during the same
time the Southern borden OF the State was
continually threatened from the same
quarter, rendering it. necessary that the
military ia that portion Of the ate should
be held In constant readiness, and should
be frequently called on TO repel threatened
invasion: and DIS
WHEREAS At the time of the arrest of
DOdd, sAiiligaE, BOwleS and Aorsey "a deep
and well planned conspiracy existed on
the part of Democratic traitors to muster
an armed force in Indiana, in aid of the
rebellion; therefore

Governor Baker.

From New Albany Commercially
On Wednesday Gov. Baker vacated
his chair as President of the Senate.
He has been singularly fortunate in
that position. Prominent men of
both parties unite in commentator of
his impartiality and courteousness.
Perhaps no individual has ever enter
ed upon the high Office of Governor
of Indiana with more real friends and
sincere well wishers than Gov. Baker.
The Indianapolis Herald, the Demo-
cratic State organ, says:
Governor Baker (and we say it
while utterly contemning his parti-
sanship), is straightforward, honest,
honorable, and Christian gentleman.
We believe that he will discharge the
duties of the position which the Con-
.stitution confers upon him not only

Forgetting History,

| There are some events Of the late
warOf the Rebellion which the peo-
pie of the country may soon forget.
It is not to be expected that the null
titude OF incidents which were crowd
ed into the four eventful years of our
nations history can be kept fresh in
the memory. But we would reckon
him a stupid historian, who would
forget the dashing foray- of MORGAN
and his brigade of reckless riders
through the States of Indiana and
Ohio. In after years none of the
elementary school histories for the
children, will fail to record that
bold dash into the North And yet
it appears from the decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States
in the case of -MILLIGAN, BoWLEs,
ed al, chat the majority Of that august
and learned body are perfectly oblivi-
Gus to that occurrence. Justice
DAVIS, who, we believe, deliver
ed the majority opinion in that
important case, made an init
nation to this effect" that no
hostile foot pressed the soi1 Of Zndiaaa
during the rebel5ion!" And with this
as one of his principal historical facts,
and upon the assumption that Indiana
was never in a state Of war, he builds
up his decision; and, as the represen
tative of the highest legal authority Of
the Nation, he essays to expound the
law which is to control the coordinate
departments of the Government, and
to regulate the action of the courts,
officers, and armies, of the country, in
all future times of peril and rebellion.
We understand that the attention
of the Executive of the State has
been called to the historical ignorance
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, and thatextracts from the OFF,
cial State Records have been or will
soon be forwarded to the War Depart
ment at Washington, or some other
convenient place of reference, where
the learned Justices Of the High
Court of the Nation may more per-
fectly aequaint themselves with some

One of the questions before the Leg
islature, nearly as difficult of adjust
ment as the Senatorial election, is the
location of the Capital whether it
shall be moved from Frankfort, and
if so, to what point
The Lexington (Ky.,0 Observer and
Reporter, says on this subject:
We are inclined to think that the
Legislature will refuse to move the
Capital this Winter, and probably re-
fuse to make any appropriation for
building new houses at Frankfort, but
will leave the whole subject to be set
tied by another Legislature, fresh

Hon. SAMUEL MCKEE, thefstefiing

been requested by large numbers of
prominent citizens and soldiers inthe
different counties of his District to
become a candidate for reelection.
They use the following language:
We approve your bold and manly
course as our member in the
XXXIXth Congress, and we pledge
you our hearty support, because you
have been tried and not found want
ing. We indorse the constitutional
amendment, article XIV. and accept
it as the platform Of our Republican
Union party
We learn from the Frankfort Com
monweobh, that the Quartermaster
General of Kentucky has been noti-
fed by the proper national authorities
that $700. 900 have been made subject
to the draft of the State Government
of Kentucky. The Louisville jour
nal also learns that within few
weeks between 81, 100000 and $1,000
O00 more will be placed to the credit
Of the State. The State Treasury is
now in funds, and probably by the end
of another month will contain 81 000,-
coo and $1,000 900. The State debt is
between S., 900 600 and $6,000,000.

But don't think if | had farm of IT'S

what it wuz WORTH just because it didn't have
but one goose on it. Geese stay well, some of
our best biographers say 7Oyears, and grow tuff

They lay one egg at once, about the size of a
goose egg, In which the gossin lies hid.
The gossling is the goose's babe.
The goose don't succle his young but turns
out tew pasture on somebody's vacant lot.
They seem tew lack wisdom, but are gener-
ally sound ON the goose
They are good eating, but not good chawing.
the reason ov this remains a profound secret to
this day.
