Union Meeting in Indiana?Arreata?
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.

'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

"I am going to Strasburg to study
medicine."
"Where do you get your money to

"How much money have you on

"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 !"

when the angel took him by the hair of
the head, and carried him to Babylon !

"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.

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,

The Horthern Hegro Regiment Bill.
A great deal of interest is manifested

A recent visit to Richmond has given
lis a few items of interest. Congress is 1
very husv with tlie lax bill snd the cur
renry, and there seems en evident deter- i
initi At lots to do something to relieve the t
apprehension existing as to the wnrdebl. I
It is understood that the House of Rep ; ;
resenlative* he* returned to the Senile ?
the currency bill of . the letter, with a- f
mendnients, and the chief feature is to \ I
extend the period of funding present notes | *
to the 1st of August. ' i

the price rose from Saturday tv Monday i

Caution for Speonlatora
'An old Merchant' writes to the Mobile

tafe Mini comfortable as lie who puts his i
rains into sugar at fifty cents per pound, !
>r flour at seventy dollars per barrel, (or
it even one half these prices,) or any oth?r
commodity at equally fabulous prices
Let us make a calculation. We will
isl^ci, for example, the two articles of
tugar and flour. The former is selling in
Sew Orleans at, sa\ nine cents, and m
Sew York at ten ? furnished frotn our |
leiguooriug vve*l India Islands. Flour
a Railing in New Orleans at $10, in New
Vork at $7, and in Cincinnati at $6 ; and
this in a currency no better tlian our own.
K fair spwcie standard, predicated on pri
:es outside (lie Confederacy? from whence
jur supplies will flow?for these articles,
would. l>e about seven ceois for sugar,
md six to seven dollars for flour; and the
imrly who has to dav $10,000 in the?e
irticles at present rate", will have some
hing '.est than $1,000 the moment our
torts are open or the Mississippi free!
I will not require actual peace or final
ipening of the blockade to bring prices
town. The first tangible indication of
uch a result would covett every holder
nto a seller, and drive all demand from
he market, and that within twenty fout
lours after such a belief liafl settled on

i note of this; whsn this lime comes, as
ome it will, such a sudden tumble in
