[From the Sidney, (O) Journal
SENATOR VOORHEES,, OF IND.
His TreasonabIe War Record.

His IEeaSOnaDlo W ar Record
The Democratic managers Of the
campaign in Ohio have seen fit to
Import Daniel W. Voorhees,, of India
ma, to stump the State in their be-
half. Last week he spoke in Sid
ney, and took occasion, not only to
boast Of his loyalty, but also of the
valuable services he rendered the
country during the war. He vehe-
mently denied ever having said that
every Union soldier should wear a
collar labeled, "My dog-A. Lincoln. "
Now it happened that there were two
respectable and responsible men in
the audience-W. F. Steen and Hen
ry English-who heard him say it in
d speech in Indiana. We took the
pains to write to the Indianapolis
journal in regard to it, and they
published our letter and its reply.
The Journal says Voorhees, always
goes far away from Indianapolis when
ne reiterates the denial, which denial
Is a miserable lie. The journal sent
US the following Photographic copy
of letter now on file among the
rebel archives at Washington, and is
among the recommendations filed
by Voorhees, with President jeff Da-
Wis for promotion, which he received:
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Dec. II, 1860
Ny friend Francis A. Shoup, is
about visiting tue South with his sis.
ter, on account of her health. I have
known Captain ShOup since our boy
hood. We were schOOlmates. He
is a graduate of West Point, and was
in the army as lieutenant four years
No more honorable or upright gen
tleman exists. O79 the disturbing
questions Of the dug his sentiments
are entirely soitb the South, and one
of his objects Is a probable home in
that section. I take this occasion to
san tbat his sentiments and n1y Oacn
are az close harmony.
D. W. VOORHEES,.
Comment is almost unnecessary.
By his own record, as well as words,
does he stand condemned. Col
Jonathan Counts, a former Repre-
sentative from this county, an hon
est, though ardent States right man,
said to us the day that Voorhees,
made his speech in Sidney, that
when a man found that he was in er-
ror, the only way for him to do is to
confess the error, or remain silent,
and not to deliberately and publicly
lie in regard to his record. Daniel
W. Voorhees, was all that the most
virulent rebel could ask of a man,
and did double the service to the
Confederacy by remaining at home,
that he could have done in joining
the rebel army as an active soldier.
He crippled Governor Morton in ev-
cry way possible in MOrton's efforts
to assist the Union. He created |
dissatisfaction among the people of
Indiana, and spread wide dislOyal and
copperhead sentiments. He sought
to organize a band to turn Indiana
into the hands of the South and re-
lease the rebel prisoners at Chicago. |
He counseled the Legislature to re-
fuse all appropriations to sustain
the State in It's loyalty, making it
for Governor Morton to
borrow money from the Government
and pledge the State for its payment
on the contingency Of the election Of

Denver is the center spot OF a vast inland en-
plre, totally destitute Of water navigation 1t
extends from the Missouri river to the Pacific,
and from the British to the Mexican line. She
is already the hub OF the future railroad system
OF this wonderful domain. Which can never
have any other means OF transportation, ana

to her coming greatness appear to US to be

and manufacturing inhabitants as are the
hills OF New England or Pennsylvania. But

much depends. But very small amount Of
the arid reg ion is covered with q barren soil.
it is not desert Ia that sense. but still it Is
comparatively uninhablted for want OF water.
TO obtain sufficient quantity for agricultural
purposes is the most stupendous problem that
invites the genius OF mankind to its solution.
The building OF canal across the isthlnus is
importance by the side OF it. The future engi-
neers OF imperishable renoWn Will be those wno

Aftesian wells have not been shown to be III
ADEQUATE to the solution OF the difficulty, but If
they fail there are other possibilities. Under

10 say that the Platte alone furnishes enough to

Two months that 1t is needed. The melting SHOWS

Stung to Death by Hornets

PARTICULARS OF THE KILLING OF YOUNG JRwELL
An Eagle reporter drove to the home of the

natural appearance except the lips which were

down on the lounge. Mrs. Tillson and
myself got salt and water and bathed him, but
his tongue swelled quickly, and his ears and

the doctor, but he could not speak; he closed
his eyes right away, and Mr. Tillson went right

never spoke afterward. His pulse would throb
