Unwarrantable Legislative Interference in Indiana
The Indiana House considers a bill to create a State Military Board to take military control from the Governor. It is deemed unconstitutional and likely to hinder operations. Gov. Morton’s leadership praised as troops are well cared for and battle readiness improves. A constitutional amendment issue blocks soldiers voting and prompts careful consideration of proposals. The paper includes Utah correspondence and notes a canal project is fully adopted in Vicassure with work to begin. Reactions to tax and canal bills are reported, along with appeals for wartime aid and supplies for wounded Indiana soldiers.

Gov Mortoy proposes Indiana advance of troops wages
Special Message from Governor Mortoy urges Indiana Legislature to authorize the state to borrow funds to pay soldiers in arrears. The plan would assign soldiers pay to the state treasurer, with funds drawn via county treasurers or federal paymasters and reimbursed by the U.S. Treasury later. Benefits include reducing desertion and hardship for families, while keeping funds within the state system.

They accept all but the reduction of legal tenders and press for 30 900 000 while granting the Secretary discretion on necessity. The Senate and Chase agree.

Soldiers want war to stop and peace on any terms
A Cincinnati correspondent reports passengers on trains hearing soldiers in the army favor peace and oppose suppression of the rebellion and emancipation. One man claimed all soldiers would shoot Lincoln, naming the 86th Indiana as mostly favorable to treason. The writer contrasts this with the regiment's resolutions to the Indiana Legislature, signed by all officers, underscoring Union loyalty and urging army support over copperhead influence.
