The Farmers of Old Vanderburg
Aroused.
Comfort frr the Soldiers' Families.
An Immense Procession.
A Sumptuous Repast.
Genuine Patriotic Joy.
Marie and Banners.
Saturday was a proud day for Vauder
bnrg comity. The patriotism of the peo
ple of the whole people never burned
more brightly, or shone forth more re
splenJently. !t was the spontaneous
up-rising of the sovereigns of the land
to demonstrate to the rebels in arms, to
our brave soldiers in the field, to their
families at home, and to the world abroad,
that the war should be prosecuted to a
successful issue, and that all would give
of thi ir means, of their money, time
and influence, to accomplish this end
but, most o' all, to demonstrate to those
who are at the front, meeting the .shock
oT battle, that their wives and little ones
at home should be preserved from hun-g--r,
cold and nakedness.
The weather was not the most propi"
tious. and many misgivings were felt and
expressed that the affair would prove a
failure, and that, instead of a scarcity o
provisions with which to refresh the
farmers, there would be a scarcity of
farmers to consume the provisions. But
t'tese held at too low an estimate the
deep-burning patriotism and large-herat"
ed benevolence of the sturdy yeomanry
of glorious old Vanderburg. No fierce
blasts of November winds could chil'
their warm hearts no threatening clouds
could dampen the ardor of their patriot
ism. As early as 8 o'clock a few scattering
loads began to arrive, and every half hour
the coming increased, until, by 11 o'clock
Main and Third streets were crowded
until almost impassible.
One-horse teams, two-horse teams, and
ox teams, and even drays, continued to
BifHt; ut.vx 1 - - p .
At half-past 11 o'clock the celebrated
Crescent City Band made their appear
ance on the corner of Main and Third
streets, where they enlivened the scene
with their unequaled music.
In the meantime, as the teams arrived;
the spirit of the people was stirred up,
and banners were flung to the breeze,
and a magnificent flag wa3 stretched
across the street from Decker's to Scant
lin's stores. The sidewalks were also
crowded with men, women and children,
and every eye was sparkling with glad
ness. At a quarter to 12 a procession whs
formed, under direction of Mr. John
Greek, Township Trustee, and City Mar
shal Nel-ion. Deploying on Third street,
and led by the Crescent City Band, dis
coursing the most soul-stirring music,
the procession proceeded up Third street
to Chestnut, down Chestnut to Vter,
down Water to Main, up Main to Third,
down Third to Division, down Division
to First, up First to Main, up Main to
Third, and again down Third to Vine
where the wood from over 100 wagons
were nnloaded and piled upon a vacant
lot on the corner.
As the procession passed down Third
street the second time, the spectacle was
most magnificent.
The head of the procession entered
Third street as the rear was crossing
Vine, thus extending over eight squ ares
in length,
Near thirty teams afterwards came in
which were too late to join iu the proces
sion, otherwise the granj display would
have extended more than ten squares.
The loads Were almost without exception
of good size,some of them measuring near
a cord, and one or two exceeding that
amount, and the wood was of an excel
lent quality showing that the farmers
didVnot give grudgingly, but with a liber,
ality and munificence worthy the cause,
and most creditable to the givers.

it as a freewill offering on the altar of
their country. It was a triumphal pro

that of any conquering monarch.

ness to the soldiers' wives, who stood
apart gazing in silent joy.
While this proud pageant was being
exhibited on the street, another scene no
less creditable to those concerned was
being enacted elsewhere. Large sup.
plies of provisions of the most substau
tiarand palatable character were depos
ited at the Court House; and, under the
superintendence of four of the noble
bearted and patriotic ladies of the city,
Mrs. Dr. Walker, Mrs. Ma or Baker, Mr,
Robert Early and Miss Vu . C'chI v,
sisted by the strong and willing bands ot
several gentlen, four large tables were

wood Houses, together with piesand
,
cakes for desert constituted the bill cf
fare; and when the wood was principal-
j unloaded, the farmers filed into the
(-OUrt LtOU.5
H and arrayed themselves
around the sumptuous table and ate with
a pusto and an air of cheerfulness and
satisfacioh that would have broken the
heart of an illiberal and sortlid dispeptic
with envy.
The provisions were abundant, all ate.
were suffi.-ed, and several baskets full ;
were left.
Every countenance bore the impress
of glad ness and satisfaction, and not a
distorted face marred the assenbly an
assembly of sovereigns, who had just
achieved, each, a splendid "victory, the
accomplishment of a noble, generous
deed When dinner was ended, .Judge
Parrett was called out, and made a short,
appropriate and patriotic speech, of which
the following is the substance:
Farmers of Vanderburgh: Cheering
indeed are the circumstances under
which we meet to-day. The mission up- i
on which yon have engaged is a truly a !
noble one. Yourlactionsare not only emi-
nently praiseworthy, as exhibiting them
selves upon the right side of your coun
try and government in its present perils
and embarrassments, but even more
nohle. as they extend themselves
in the substantial benefit to those
less fortnnate of your own blood and
race.
You have shown your faith by your
works acting the part of the good Sa
maritan. It is conduct on your part
which above and beyond all words fixes
upon yon the character of trustworthy
and benevolent men, in every sense
equal to the times in which yon live, and
of sood, loyal citizens.
It is said of an old Athenian, Diogenes,
that upon one occasion he lighted a lamp
in broad day light, and went through the
streets of the city of Athens, peering in
to the faces of every one he met, and
that upon being asked the reason for his
strange conduct, he replied: ul am
searching through Greece to find a man."
This was indeed a severe satire on the
times, but if he were here to-day be need
only raise his lamp and look into your
faces, and for a moment contemplate the
nohle deed which you have this day per
formed, and then truly exclaim that he
not only saw one man, but many of the
noble images of the Great Deity.
One word further as to the object of
this display of plain good intention and
genuine sympathy upon your part.
It is for the wives, widows and orphans
of those who, acting upon their noble
impulses of patriotism, at the call of
their Government went out to fight its
battles. For months and years many of
them have survived upon the tented
field, standing by and upholding the old
flag of our Union. Cheering and wel
come to such must always be the news
that their loved ones at home are cared
for, fed, warmed and clothed. Others in
battle, and by the incidents of warfare,
have fallen, nobly contending for the
right.
Sad bereavements of this kind have
been felt by most of us. And when you
snail teei tnai uie uiu anu uei a
ow and orphan of the dead, have, by
your acts, to-dav, felt a gleam of the
v .
sunsnine oi nie oreaKinp; into tneir
hearts aud homes, you will I know, in
the generous feelings of your natures,
be more than compensated for all you
have doue.
And now to all, permit me to say, we
should not be discouraged, although
fearful indeed'has been the gory tread,
tread of the war-horse, yet, those who
first started him upon the track are be
ginning to cower and quai . at the ruins
and devastations which he is spreading
upon their own soil, and it will not be
ioM until they will cry to have him
chained up.
1 am earnestly sure that we will in ev
ery proper and rightful manner at all
times, stand ready to strengthen the
hatiiU oi our Government, looking lor
ward to the time, when through an hon
orable peace, the unity and prosperity of
our whole country, snail tuily compen
sate for all our losses and exertions in
putting down a wicked aud causeless re
bellion. After the conclusion of Judge Parrett's
remarks, Capt. Wm. Reavis being called
upon, addressed the crowd substantially
as follows:
Fellow-Citizens: I am glad to have
witnessed the grand procession by which
the outpouring of a generous and patri
otic people has been made manifest.
Such a scene as this will touch the heart
of every lover of his country in this com
munity. Nor will the influence of this
noble example stop here It will go to
the front to Chattanooga, to the Poto
mac, to Vicksburg, Charleston and New
Orleans. And by this act of liberality
here, on the part of the good citizens of
Vanderburgh county, our brothers in
arms who stand like a wall between us
and our foes, will know there will be no
suffering among the dear ones at home.
I have been in front amid the roar of
battle, and claim to know something
i about the wants of the soldier. He does
n.01 cnre "5. 1113 own sunenng. what,
though a Minnie ball may crush his arm
or leg, or the fragment of a shell mav
tear his body until his life blood is pour
ed out on the gory field. Just let him
know that a generous and patriotic peo
ple at home are taking good care of his
wife and li:tle ones, and all will hp well
i have we seen such unanimity in
our
cause. Uur Government has waked up '
like a sleeping lion, and is nerving for i
the final struggle. And just so sure as j
1 I believe in the providence of God, and
that the Great Iluler of the universe sits ;
enthroned on high, just so certaiu will :
we triumph at Iat.

interrupted with warm and hearty ap-

A Gouger. On Saturday, a man
named Casper Shimmer, as we learn it,
brought to town a large load of poplar
wood, about one cord, which he was so
licited to donate to the soldiers' families,
but he refused. He was then requested
to donate half the load. This he also
refused, when Robert Early, Chester O.
Davis and Charley Hall, clerk at the
American House, made up $5 and paid
him for the load and sent him into the
procession.
May the Lord have mercy on his stin
gy, unpatriotic soul.
Provisions. There were several bas
kets of bread and butter, and meat and
other articles of provisions left from the
dinner on Saturday, which are in the
hands of Mr. John Greek, the Township
Trustee, which will be donated to such
families a3 may make application to him
to-day.
Cavalry. Cap. Milner's Company of
Cavalry, from Posey county, arrived
yesterday, and went into Camp at the
Fair Grounds. They number over 90
men and officers, and are a fine looking
set of men.
The Missouri Ejection. The St.
Lonis Democrat of Saturday last pub
lishes later and corrected election re
turns, which an increase in the ma
jority for the radical ticket. It foots
up the entire vote at 29,379 for the ra li
cal, and 28,865 for the conservative
ticket. It is supposed the vote of the
Missouri regiments at Little Rock will
increase the radical majority by over
3,000 votes.
WsS The Senatorial election in Mis
souri resulted in the choice of John B.
Henderson for the long, and B. Gratz
Brown for the short, term. This result
was brought about by a colition between
the radicals and a few claybanks of a
darker hue than a majority f that or.
ganization. The President is highly
pleased with the result.

From New York.
Arrange memr tx to Clothe Prisoners
In Richmond Nomination of a Cop
perhead Mayor Drafted Men to be
Gathered In.
New York, November 14. The Post
says;
The Government has authorized Gen.
Neal Dow, at Richmond prison, to draw
; on General Meredith for every article of
j clothing needed by the Union prisoners.
inspector Boole was to-day nominated
by the Tammauy Democrats.
Non-reported drafted men are to be
arrested immediately, and tht city is be
ing placarded with posters containing
their names and residences.
From Baltimore.
Baltimore, November 14. The Amer
j ican has a special from Fortress Monroe, j
wnicn says:
General Lee was yesterday put on a
steamer, to be sent to Fort Lafayette.
Rev. 3. C. Trumbull, of the 10th Con
necticut, who has been a prisoner at
Richmond, was exchanged last Wednes
day. He says that, two days before his leav
ing Libby Prison, the officers' daily ra
tions consisted of about one-third' of a
pound of bran and water. No meat has
been served for several days.
The rebel quartermaster told the pris
oners that it was not his fault thai he
had none to give them.
That day he had been unable to fur
nish anything whatever to the prisoners
on Belle Island, and that it was wi-'i the
greatest difficulty he could get the small
est supply of meat for the Hospitals.
From Washington.
Washington, Nov. 14. The Rich
mond Examiner, after giving a ftate
ment of the capture of two of their brig
ades, says it is believed Lee expected
Meade to advance, but was not prei ared
for so early and vigorous an attack.
It now appears that Meade can ad
vance as quickly as he retreats.
News from Charleston.
Baltimore, Nov. 14. A gent1 man
who arrived here to-day direct irom
Charleston Bar, expresses great confi
dence in the progress of the operations
now going on there, and predicts the
capture of Charleston in a few weeks.
The Enquirer demands the dismissal
from the army of the Brigadiers, who
commanded the captured brigades, for
their disgraceful negligence.
The Enquirer of the 10th says there
is no material change at Charleston.
The Yankees keep up a continuous fire
day and night, but with loss, and confi
dence is as strong in Charleston as ever.
A Charleston correspondent of Geor
gia papers says: If the Yankees should
try the strength of our land forces they
will get the worst thrashing any army
ever received. Every day adds to our
strength while it lessens theirs.
A rebels correspondent writes to the
Atlanta Intelligencer from Missionary
Ridge that our extreme right now occu
pies London, which gives us command
of the Tennessee river at that point,
bringing our forces within 23 miles of
Knoxville.
From North Carolina.
iiALEiGii, JN. C, Nov:& Weldon ad
vices state that ten Yuluo Ku,.lua4o
arrived at Covington on Friday, with
troops. It is thought another force from
Newbern Of 2,000 cavalry and 15 pieces
of artillery, are designed for the same
point An adequate force has been sent
to check them.
Important movements are expected in
that direction. The enemy evacuated
the fortifications in London at our ap
proach. The Examiner states that 5 pieces of
cannon are now planted in position bear
ing on the prisoner at Belle Island, and
any demonstration to overpower Jthe
guard will result in thinning out their
numbers amazingly.
The Rebel papers have the following
dispatch:
Narrows, kear Dublin, Nov. 8. Our
cavalry yesterday captured, at Rodgers
ville, 85 prisoners, 4 cannon, 2 stands of
colors, 60 wagons, and 100 animals.
Our loss was 2 killed and 8 wounded
