(Cheers.) am for raising men and
sending them down to shoot and
kill the rebels and not protect their
property. / am for shedding the
last drop of blood and spending the
last dollar in support of the govern
ment. l am ashamed to say we
have traitors in Indiana. But we
have rope, too, and we Will hang
them if necessary. They had a con-
vention here the other day and sent
to Kentucky and Virginia for Great
ures of secession to preach treason
in Indiana"
(The Indianapolis Sentinel says
there were 10000 at that meeting.)
1t. Gov. Fisk, of Kentucky, says
he does not want to discuss the Mig
ger question. That he sees that the
time fer cOaXing the rebels is past.
1--WE must fight them. 1t is a ques-
ton of power. Shoulder your mus
kets, draw your swords and come
with us, and we will clear out Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Missis-
sippi and all the United States of
this Internal brood of cotton aristo-
Gratis. What we want to do is to
make this government furiously
mad and gOad it to move down up
on and speedily annihilate the trait
ors." .I.
Aug. 5. The morning papers con-
tain the order of Abe Lincoln to
draft 100000 men. The papers are
urging the people to volunteer and
receive the bounties offered for vol
unteers, which range from $25 to 500.
| see a letter in the paper from one
of Buell's army at Bridgeport, Ala.
The writer Gays they are on half
rations and he is ain favor of NOV
ing back to Ohio and make a new
start and kill every man, woman
and child who has secesh proclivi-
ties so that there will be no more
secesh whelps coming on; free all
the negroes and put them at the
work of destruction
Aug. Z. Last night, as Klnnard
was coming down to go to bed, he
was halted by the sentinel and
made to go back so he had to sleep
in another block. To-day the U. ;.
flag has been at half mast. We are
told that it is in honor OF Martin
Van Buren,. The furniture of our
room consists of two stools, one
water bucket, washpan, mug, and a
wooden gun. We make a writing
desk by taking plank from the bot
tom of bunk and putting it across
from one bunk to another in front
of a window. There are two New
foundland dogs in prison Owned by
prisOners) and some chickens and
ducks. To-day prisoner borrowed
one of the dogs to catch his chicken.
After he caught the chicken and
laid it up the dog stole it and car
ried it to his master. Heard to-day,
| by way of Chicago that it was at my
home Fountain Creek, Tenn. that
the cars ran off the track and killed
and wounded forty Federals.
Aug. 8. Special to the Herald
says, Gen. Negly arrived at CO.
lumbia Tenn. on the 4th and dis
persed large number of guerrillas,
as at Williamsport. Capt. A. T.
Julian of the Tenn. Federall troops
put to flight gang of guerrillas near
Bigbyville. Guerrilla5 for days past
have been attempting to concentrate
near here. Cotton has been burned
in considerable quantities near
here" Oh, how l should like to
meet the Infamous scoundrel j
1t seems from the papers that
volunteering is brisk since they
have determined to call out the
militia. The bogus Virginia Sena-
tor, Close, advocates the repeople-
ing of Virginia by immigration from
the North and dividing secesh lands
among Union soldiers. The chap
lain of the Sd Ohio cavalry at
Woodville, Ala, advocates theft,
robbery and determination. Some
of the Sanduskians are fleeing to
Canada to avoid the army. A fight
at Reynolds Station, Giles county, is
reported.
