Military Item#—Recruiting is fully as lively in other parts of Indiana as it is here. The reason for this is that patriotic men hRvo put their shoulders to the wheel ami are doing good work. Butthese exertions must be continued without abatement if we are to secure the number of men required lrom Indiana. If this be done, the regiments will all be filled iu a week or two. William M. Smith lias been appointedQuartermaster for the 5th District regiment, the 69tb.—Wm. R. Holloway, Private Secretary of Gov. Morton returned on yesterday from his late tour to Washington, the Valley of the Shenandoah, Fredericksburg and the JamesRiver.! —Quartermaster Tom Underwood writes the i following account of an interview with seceshx ■ Judies at Ripley, Miss., to the Lafayette Comicp !ricr:0ipAs we weie about going into camp near Ripley a few days since, I saw quite a number of young ladies gathered 011 a porch, and being a .single man, and very thirsty, I thought it would be 110 harm to stop and ask for some water, which was kindly given me, after which I took a seat for a short rest. Our troops were | passing, carrying the regimental colors, on ; which was painted a large eagle, which the■ old negro nurse mistook tor a secession banner i and exclaimed: “Mussa. dars de Rattle Snake,whar is de bale ob cotton? I told her she I was mistaken, that was the eagle which had ; swallowed the rattle snake, and it only made 1 a email meal for it at that.1 One of the ladies smiled, while another 1 elightlv elevated the end of her nose. ‘‘Well,’’ says the old cook, “it data de case no wonder ; rnassa ltiehard run off so fast. In speaking of some of our battles, one of the ladies re-i marked that she always thought the South did wrong iu not hanging old Sumter after ttaev captured him.” 1 replied that they still : held the old fellow prisoner, and perhaps Jell'. Davis would yet hang him if he would | only ask him. I was asked it I had been 111 1 any engagement. I replied that I was at Pea ; Ridge, where the Rebels came out second ; best'. “ Vos, spoke one of the ladies,and you i would have beeu whipped there if it had not I been for vour gun bouts: there comes one of ; the infernal things now, pointing to a mys ; teriousobjeetiuone of our wagons. “Ves.yes, i | Miss, said I, just su; that is my blacksmith ' forge.” Mv reply wound her up for the bal- 1 i once of the conversation. Thinking that it j 1 was about time to leave, I took another drink ; of water and bid them farewell. I wonder if 1 the entire south has actually been kept in per led ignorance in regard to war mailers, or | has it fallen tlt; my lot to see the enlightened■ ones. The idea of Sumter” being a man or ' of our having “gunboats up in the moun-! tains of Arkansas, is most ridiculous.—A private letter from Porter’s Mortar Fleet, belew Vicksburg, states that deserters from the rebel army report that over tint) rebels were killed and wotiuded'by the bombardment of Vicksburg lt;n the 2Sth ult.— We learn from Nashville that Col. Owen, of the 60t,h Indiana, surprised and cut to pieces live huutlred guerillas above Burks-ville, Ivy., about 11 o’clock 011 Saturday night. The Nashville I’/iion has other excellent news which it withholds for the present, but it adds that our plans are all that can be desired.—A letter from Fredericksburg, Virginia, informs us that Captains Irvin, lviester and Ciirlaml, of the 3d Indiana cavalry, had resigned and left for home. Lieutenants Clark, Martin and Powers have also resigned.Letters received here by liis relatives from Colonel R. San lord Foster state that, for five days previous to his writing, the 13th Indiana had been in the ad vance of McClellan’s army, and doing constant picket duty.—Secoud Lieutenants, with power to recruit, enroll, and muster, Volunteers, have been commissioned by Adjutant General Noble as follows:65th Regiment—First District:Thomas Johnson of Washington, Daviess Co.Geo.

The Sanitary Comtnissiou has a room for storing sanitary goods. Why could not the person in charge of it be directed to receive from all who may donate flour, meal, bacon, chickens, eggs, butter, potatoes, See., and keep them 011 hand for distribution to the families of volunteers upon application?

JofKNAi.: A large number of Morioncounty teachers, with 11 few live members of the profession from other parts of the State, are now holding what promiscs to be the most successful institute ever held in this county, if not the most successful ever held in this State.In support of this statement I beg leave to submit the following facts:The Superintendent, Prof. IIoss, is a man of eminent success as a teacher, and large experience in the management of Institutes.On the part of the Executive Committee great exertion lias been made to procure tho best available talent to conduct the various recitations, embracing nearly all the branches commonly taught in our schools.Not only have able teachers been secured, but such an arrangement made that nearly all have unsigned to them their favorite branches. The department of physical education, usually so much neglected, receives its appropriate share of attention through the instructions of Profs. Kidd and Butler; the former an elocutionist too well known to require any euro-miums in this eonnncclion; tho latter as teacher of the system of light gymnastics advocated by Dr. Lewis.These two classes present attractions enough to command the attention of teachers alive to the necessities of physical training even though they were indifferent to everything else belore the Institute.A melodeon having been procured, Mrs. llaydon and Miss Jameson will occasionally regale the assembly with very fine music.Some thirty-live teachers were present on Monday afternoon and the preliminaries set lied, exhibiting a very thorough arrangement on the part of the Committee of Arrangements.lu yesterday the work commenced in earnest, with a considerable increase in the number present.That even the best teachers—as we take it for granted that this class is to be found at our Institutes—are not as thoroughly posted on the common branches as they should be, was very clearly developed in the recitations in Arithmetic and English Grammar. Professor Shortridge, in catechising the Arithmetic class, discovered a lack of ability to distinguish clearly between the English and French methods of notation, and an inability on tho part of several to write large numbers with readiness according to the Roman method of notation,^Olhcr classes will receive attention at our earliest opportunity.I.
