Camping where attacked that night, they waited
all next day expecting another attack. Though
Lieut.. Ranahan and eight men were driven within
two miles Of camp by fifty TO seventy.fiye Indians,

The Indians stood their ground but a few moments

THE Mt. Vernon Democrat, in a
false and abusive article on General
VEATcH, full Of cowardly and SLAM
derous innuendoes, says:
[" The General performed very little
military duty in the field, and come
out of the bloody war unscratched,
with a very limited amount of SOL
dierly reputation"
IF it is by such lies as the above
the Democracy of the First District
hope to advance their cause, they
have a very poor estimation of the
intelligence and patriotism of the
people. General VEATCH's military
service dates from the 9th of August,
1861, to the 25th of August, 1865,
during which time he was in the field,
in active campaigning in the face of
the enemy, nearly three years, par
ticipating in more than twenty en-
gagements, many of them the most
bloody and stoutly contested of the
entire war, and yet this veracious
Democratic paper says he performed
very little military duty in the field"
AT Fort Donelson his regiment,
under his immediate command, OPEN
ed the fight and was three days under
fire; at Shiloh he was two days almost
constantly in actual conflict, having
two horses shot under him, and in the
immediate command of a brigade
which left more than a thousand men
upon the battle field; at Hatchie he
was in the thickest Of that well-fought
fight, and did more than any other
officer to secure the victory; In West
ern Tennessee, Northern Mississippi,
in Arkansas, in the Meridian cam
paign, up Red River, and in the cap
ture Of Mobile-aud in these battles,
seiges and marches receiving the pub
lie thanks of his superior officers. and
the recognition of the President of
the United States through deserved
promotion. And it is reserved for
the Copperhead press to publish the
glaring lie to the voters of the First
District that be retired from the army
with a very limited amount of sol
dierly reputation"
Mainly on accoaut Of disabil-
ity, brought on by exposure
in the field, after nearly two
years of active campaigning, he
was assigned to the command of
the Post of Memphis, where he re-
mained for about one year. During
this time his administration was such
as to merit the approval of his COM
manding officers and all loyal and
honest men. 1t is against his official
conduct at Memphis that the Indian
apolis Sentinel has made certain in-
situations affecting his integrity as an
eficer and citizen, which have been
eagerly reproduced by the Copper
head papers of this District; but the
special honor has fallen to the Mt.
Vernon Democrat, published by a
graduate of the Evansville Courier
establishment, to attack the Generals
military services in the field. We
have called upon the Sentinel to put
its charges in such tangible shape
that the General or his friends could
reply to them. If it does so, they
will be met and answered. If II fails
to do it, it will stand before the pub
lie as base slanderer of a gallant
soldier and an upright citizen, whose
character none but unprincipled Cop
perheads have dared to traduce.
