Answer to COpperhead Calumny.
From the Chicago Journal.

THE letter of one Monroe, in the Indi-
annapolis Sentinel, relative to Mr.. Colfax's
treatment of soldiers, and the comments of
the partisan press thereon, are so shame
full and unfounded that out of simple JUS
tice to Mr.. Colfax desire to make brief
statement.
Chaplain Lozier in great measure an
swers these slanders by giving partial
record of Mr.. Colfax's patriotic benevo-
lence, but so many more facts are in my
possession, that I deem it my duty to speak
of them.
1t was my fortune to be Immediately as
sociated with Mr.. Colfax during the war,
and to be the medium through which some
portion of his kindness and liberality was
manifested. After the battle of Fort
Donelson, our hospital accommodations
were limited, and especially were the tenn
porary hospitals at Paducah lacking in
those little dainties so necessary to the
comfort of sick and wounded men. At
this time | received checks for $500 from
Mr.. Colfax, with the request that the
amount be expended among the sufferers
as reason and humanity might dictate. A
portion of this money was used to enable
boys who were wounded and destitute to
reach home, where they could receive the
attention of their friends, and where, if
they must die, they could lie down in
peacefulness and security beneath the old
paternal roof Nor was the distribution
ofthis money confined to Indiana soldiers,
but was given to all, so long as it lasted,
who required assistance, and "God bless
Mr.. Colfax," was echoed from the lips of
boys from Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Mich
igan, Ohio and Indiana alike. Among the
acts ofbenevolence performed by Mr.. Col
fax, and ofwhich am personally or other
wise cognizant, are the following One
hundred dollars in gold, sent through
G. j. Faulkner, eX-member of Con-
gress and an exchanged rebel, to
sick Indiana soldiers in Libby Prison.
The same amount to sick Indiana sol
diers held as prisoners in South Carolina.
Five hundred dollars at one time, and
$500 at another to volunteers in st. Joseph
county, Ind. One hundred dollars to
Christian and Sanitary Commission meet
ing in South Bend A similar amount to
the Christian and Sanitary Commission
in Washington, and 500 to fair for the
relief of destitute widows and orphans cf
soldiers, held at South Bend last year, un-
der the auspices of the g Grand Army of
the Republic" All these gifts were ac-
knowledged through the press at the time.
Beside these munificcnt donations, Mr..
Colfax gave twelve lectures last year for
the same cause, charging nothing, paying
his own travelling expenses, and only stip-
ulating that the entire gross proceeds
should go TO the relief Of disabled soldiers
