The Legislature. A greet Union meeting bea been beld et Indianapolis, at wbioh it waa claimed (hit thirtv thniiunil nArtnni bam mmai.i Governor Wright presided, end Andy Johnson wu the chief orator. Eeeolu tione were adopted pledging a cordial support of the Lincoln Administration and bitter hostility to the project of a North-western Confederacy. Governor Johnson, one of the most prominent of the speakers, referred to the preeept Administration, and defended its policy, only remarking that he would make it more vigorous in the punishment of rebels. Upon the negro question he remarked aa follows : 'There is one thing 1 want understood. I am for the Government with the insti tution of shivery under the Constitution as it is, if it can be saved. I am for this Government without negroes if it can be saved. [Cheers.] I am for this Government under any and all circumstances. [Tremendous applause.] If negroes get in the way, let lhem-be crushed. On the other hand, if they do not get in the way, let them remain where they are. I am for tbs Government and alt tbe means and instfumeota tbat will go to maintain the Government. Is this Government, this great bulwark of human libertj, to ba compared with alavery t' . 'What it King Cotton compared with H ! It is as dust in the halaece. Some of the sympathisers have got the idea tbat without cotton they cannot sell corn for quite as much. Why, the world has azieted and prospered for 0,000 years without the aid of cotton as an article of commerce, and without this our Governmeet will go on. When we come to think of it, by producing a little more wool, a little mora flax, and a little more hemp. rVoiees?bemp, hemp, hemp, for Jeff. Pevis.} 'The time has come and is now upoa us to teach the South and North that inatituUona are not to exiat here that are more powerful than the Government itself. If H is beoks, put it down; if it is arietoc racy, put ji down ; if it is slavery, put it down. But how long haa it been since ? mm raaiMUWVU IU IUO UDIbOU States you care not agitata f Baa slave ry tba light to agitata tha Government and shake it to its centre, and then deny to the Government tba privilege to agitate slavery! When institution* must give way that tba Government may stead.9 Again be saya *, You are engaged to day ia laying tha foundations of a Government that shall endure as long as the sun seatianes io it* ear ear. I say to yon bare, (I may be over nealous,) if my life could be spared seven hundred years, J could fight as long, yea, I would fight forever against this Southern aristocracy.' Mr. Johnson ooncluded his speech, oi which we can give but a meagre abetraet in these words : 'I feel sometimea when I tee the graves of the brave boys who hare fallen right by the Jler?itage?I feel, I say, like eoorfny to you and appealing to 700, i tfBL * whsn you talk about giving up this Qov eminent, that you dishonor yourselves and the graves of your offspring, if you let them sleep upon the coutinos of a con fed eracy, established upon the remains of this Government." Other speakers addressed the assem bly, of which we can make no note in 1 this connection. A series of resolutions were adopted, permeated throughout | with the spirit of 'loyalty.' We give two of the series as follows ; 'That we believe in every ipeasure which 1'resideul Lincoln has adopted for the maintenance of the Union and the restoration of the national authority, be has been actuated by the highest patriot i ,i._ . i i wiu nuu me in**bi 1*1 yhi uevouon to the 1 interests of the people, and we pledge ourselves to a hearty support of the Ad ministration in all its measures for the suppression of the rebellion. 'That the loyal people of Indiana are determined to maintain their allegiance to the National Government at all hazards; that they will never submit to the withdrawal of the State of Indiana from the Union, nor lo the formation of a North western Confederacy.' Four prisoners, charged with resisting officers in the arrest of deserters, were yesterday convicted of treason in the United States District Court. The minority of the Legislature are still absent, and unless a compromise can bo effected with the majority, no further legislation will be bad during the prevent session. The Bank of Faith. When a merchant wants to draw mon ej from the bank, he knows be must first put in as much as he draws out. # The bank does not aid him, however much he may need, beyond what haa been put in. But there is one bank from which we may draw though we have put noth* ing in it I call it the Bank of Faith ; and I explain just what I mean. Some years ago an old man died, and at his funeral a great multitude were gathered?some to weep, some to look at his face once more, some to tell of bis great skill as a physician, and all to speak a kind word about him. More than five thousand blind people?moetly poor people?had been restored to sight by his skill and care I lie lived and died a poor mao, for he lived only to do good. When a young man, he used to go to Gjd in prayer for direction, for guidance and for aid. At the time when he made up hia mind that be must study and go to the University, in order to pre* pare himself to be useful, he knew not where to go, or how to get.the money to pay the expenses. So he went to God. A friend aAked him where be intended to SO. lie ren'ied 4,I ilnni I nn* " ?r"?W n said abe "our neighbor, Mr. T , is going to Strasburg ; go with him !" A few minutea later and Mr. T entered the room, and waa greatly pleased' to have young Stilling?for that waa bia name? gojviih him. "1 wonder," said Stilling, "from what quarter ray heavenly Father will provide roe with money 1" Forty-aix dollars waa all be could raiae. Meeting with unexpected delaya when he got to Frankfort, atill three daya from Strasburg, he had but a single dollar left, lie said nothing to any one, but went to bia Bank of Faith, i. e. he went to God in prayer. He then went out to walk the streets, praying as be walked. Soon be met a merchant from the place of bis own residence. "Why, Stilling, what brought you bereT "I am going to Strasburg to study medicine." "Where do you get your money to study with r "1 have a rich father in heaven." "How much money have you on handt" "One dollar, air." . "So 1 Well, I am one of your Father's stewards," and banded him thirty three dollar*. With tears in bia eyes, Stilling "I am now rich enough ; I want no A while after bit thirty three dollar* war* agaio reduced to one. Again he laid hi* caee before hi* Father in earneet prayer. One morning, hie room-mate, Mr. T., eaid to him, 'Stilling, I believe you did not bring much money with you ?" and offered htm thirty doJJtre is gold, which he thankfully accepted a* the aoawer te hie prayer* lor aid* Some montfe* after thic, the time arrived when he niut pay tbe Lecturer'* fee, or have hi* name struck off from th* ] list *f etudeota. The money muet be paid by aiz o'clock, Thursday evening.? Thursday morning came, and the poor ! fellow had no money, and knew not where to gel it. Ue npent the whole day in the closet in prayer. Five o'clock came, and no money. His faith began to fail. , lie walked the room in a perspiration, v and with weeping. Seme one knocked "Come in." It was the gentleman of whom he rented the room, almost aa en tire stranger. t "1 called to see how you liked your ] room !" * | "Thank you sir ; I like it very much." I "I thought I would ask you one other question. Have you brought any money with you !" s?;it;n? ...... i? m? *-- - ~ h an} ? 'ID ICH ll*? lll? JlTOJUiel ^ when the angel took him by the hair of the head, and carried him to Babylon ! lie thought it a dun. "No sir ; 1 have no money." The gentleman looked at him with I surprise ; and at length amid, "I tee how it is ; God has sent me to j help you." He left the room, and re j turned at once with forty dollars in gold. | Stilling says he then felt like Daniel in the lion's den, when the angel came to . him. To the end of his long and most ( useful life, he alwats drew on the Bank 1 of Faith, and it nerer failed him : ? <S. S. Timet. Food. Some of our exchanges seem to be a ' good deal alarmed about a supply of food for the coming year. It is, indeed, a J matter of much importance, but if the ag. ^ riculturalist will turn his whole attention this spring to making something to eat, we shall hare an abundance for man and beast. The danger is that the present ^ high price of cottou and tobacco will ^ tempt many (o grow these articles instead ot' grain. Soma people appear to be in fiuencad by nothing but money?they care not if their neighbor starve* ?o they ' put money in tlieir own pocket*. But it ^ would be well for all *uch to remember c that if, for the want of food, the Govern ment ia unable to prosecute the war vig- 1 oroutly and keep a large army in tbe ^ field, and our brutal and savage enemies ^ overrun the country, they will be com pulled to part with not only their cotton ' and tobacco, but all other property ; 'be* aides the war wil! be prolonged for year*. 1 Therefore, let every man who desires tbe establishment of our independence end a 1 lasting peace, see to it that his best exer* lions are used to make ae much food to ^ sell as possible. There is at present a plenty of corn and hacoa- in tbe South to last the people and army till the next crop ie gsibered, if it was put in market and properly dis t trihuted. We assert this without the fear , of successful contradiction. Those who ( are holding a surplus quantity of provi c sions?more than enough for their own t use?will hsve e fearful account to ran c der when the soldiers return home and a their wives and children tell tbem , how they suffered on account of tbeir * neighbor's avarice and mean neat in refue- c ing to sell at a fair price. We have seen j letters from soldiers, making terrible |, threats about tbis matter; and while we j know that in many counties and neigh r borhoods soldiers' fami.lies are well pro* a vided for (in some instances heiier than a bet or a tli* war.) we belitte that in torn* t, sections these complaints are well found | ed. We have received communications c from the army, naming individuals and j accusing them of hoarding up coru and j food, but we have declined publishing T thero, hoping that those accused would q change their course and manifest a more ? patriotic and liberal spirit. I)nt one thing is certain, the man who now refusea C4 toaell his surplus food to supply iba h waota of the country, will be remembered hereafter ? Wtetern Democrat. a, p Bidin'i Method or 8sviro Seed u Corn.?The most successful and interaa , 6i ting damooatrationa of '.he practicability of improving Indian Corn, ia that adopted by Thomas Badao, of Maryland, who carefully selecting the beet seed in hie ^ field for a long aeriee of years, haviag ^ special refarence to tboae stalks which produced the moet ears, ultimately ob- y tained a variety which yields 4, A, 6, and aven aa high as and 10 eara to the stalk. t, ido plan b* adopted ?ru ibis : when | b the corn wee baeked, he made a re aelee l< lion, taking only that which ?u perfect ii ly eound and fully ripe In the spring, ii before ebelltng the corn, he acamissd it $ again, throwing out any that bad aa a unoed a bad appearance during the win- tl ter. la shelling the corn, be threw aside p the grain at both large end small ends. He lies carefully followed this mode of a selecting sefcfc corn, for twenty firs or n thirty ) tars, and still eo?lianas to do so. ( f< McGowan* Brigade.
