No man in this ostion iras more energetic than he in raising monny and men to put down the gren rebellion, and no mint iens moro anceessful.

Morton, almost at the commencement of the car, oras ummed " The War Governor," and well he leserveil the title.

When President Lincoln first enlleil fur [5,000 rohumuteers, 4,000 men, inare ilin six times the number requirel from Indiana, responded, xml in less than six days, without any assistance from The General Government, Mix regimen14 uere organized, armed, clothed and equippedl.

HOW HE HAINIH THE MONEY.

Umlor the beol of "extraordinary Inbers," in raising troops, cie., comes The Governor's tinunerul tunongement, regarded by jonny as the eroy ning excellence of his military administration. Ho hail alremily horrawed half a millivu dlelars, on his own responsibility, to joy bounlies. The need of the troops u'ns so pressing, he first thought of inducing them to go forward with. unt their bounties, One regiment was called up ouil addressed m midnight. ADer an huur's deliberation it agreeil to go, " because you have requested it Gor Morton, bus for no other reason." Tho Goreruor relented, und ilvier- umued to ask such a fucor frum no other regiment. In the morning, there- fore, he maten four of the banks of Indianapolis. At the first house cisitel he nas met with a short " No, ne hare no currency on hand.' Stoughton Fletcher's bauk camo next, Mr Fletcher is n character in Indianapolis, As grizzly as he is gruff. " What ilo you want ; ' nas his salutation as the Got. ernor entered. "Money !" wray the leonie reply. "Get ont ! we harn'i got nny. What scourily can yon gire!" "Ouly my individual name, sie." " Indueduol wam ! ! " "line much to you irnot, and ishat do yon want it fur1"' u'ny the gruft rejoinler. " Finy thousand dollars," nuil the urgen necessity iras brieHy explained. The old tunn listeneil a froment, then ruiy. ing from his ebair, cried out more fierrely than erer, " What hure yil gol to carry it in ?" nad without uniting to hear the answer, "nothing," he pro- luceit n dilapidated market basket, sprend n paper in the bottom, nud juled into it bitty packages of $1,000 ench. "There, sir, leare mo n memorandu tu af ilus, nud let me hear that the rebels nre livked ""' At Fletcher & Sharp's nnotlier $50,000 was piled into the basket, mol al Alfred Ilarrison's $50,000 more. The next day i'ny Sunduy, nud on Monday he munde another four, nguin receiving $10,000 from ench. Monday evening, Mr. Alfred Im rison I'us Hehl in Cincinnati with a letter 10 Mark E. Reeres, now living in Itich- mand, whou sent him back Thesilny morning with $250,000 more-making $550,000 in all, enough to mmy secentren regiments. In ten ilnys from the comoumcement of Kirby Smith's march In The Ohio, These Troops were in the fielil. For the use of this money, though nul reinrued for six weeks, un in. terest ans rbarguil by the bruks.

Thr Smie Legislature hoing at this time Inkeurm, or opposed entirely to uinking uny appropriations for the wnr, the Governor determined to raise the menDy on his own responsibility, nuil appealed to the people. The petrintic beurt beat a cheering respouse. In some counties loans icere wegotinted. Du motion uf Antly Wallace, like Stoughton Fletcher, a character iu ludiau- ajinhs, Muriou County gacr $20,000.

From other similar sources, Itke minounts were sout in nutil all but $250,000 had been raised.

For this gut Mr. Morton ristled Washington, but Mr. Lincoln hol no money, und could gice no encouragement. " We harn't got nuy money, Mor. foD. I can i get hold of enough to ibret uy personal expenses. But Gol bless you for the noble struggle you ure making. Go mul sce Chusel" The President aos willing, but the exchequer w'ny nesk.

Mr. Chase was even inore discouraging than the l'resilent He het nu munvy that he could lend for suok n purpose, and arleised him to rill fuck the Legislature. "Don't tukr surh responsibilities upon yoursolf," said Chase, unploringly ; " yiucr State may uof susinin you jo IHG4, und you'll hring bankruptcy ou yourself icul friends. Don't do d, Morton, I unplore you. Let the Sinie go. Dy your ilnty and let the rest take care of itself."
