INDIANA AND THE WAR OF THE REBELLION.
During The period from 1861 to 1865, Indiana was coguged, in common with the olber loyal Siales, in resisting the arined attempt of The South lo destroy the integrity of the United States Government. The difference be- tween the North and The Soula on the slavery question had grown to such proportions Thal secession and war had been Ihrealenel by the Southern leaders in the event of The election of Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency, in the fall of 1860. The election of Mr. Lincoln was followed by the secession of South Carolina, on the 201b of December, INDO ; and soon after his inaugura- lion, on the 12th of Aprit, 1861, war was actually commenced by the allack of the Secessionisis on Forl Sumler. This acl of aggression on the part of South Carolina aroused the whole nalion to the dread reality of a war which before had only been discussed ns probable in political circles.
It is impossible lo deseribe the excitement which The news of the bom- bardinent and fall of Fort Sumter occasioned Throughout the country. None byl Those who participated in The stirring events of thal hour enn appreciate The sudden oulburst of patriolisin which rose in a moment to the war pilch ! In Indiana, The feeling was much the same as in all the other Northern States. An eye wilness Thus speaks of The sinle of feeling in Indianapolis and throughout The State generally :
Mr. Lincoln, in passing Through this city on tise 12th of February, 1563, on his way to Wusbinglon to assume the government, made a little speech of five minutes, indicating his line of action, which had a very decided of- feel. Every word of il was carefully weighed, and it was evident that what he said would be done. Suggestively, rather than positively, he stated that il was his duly lo proleel and preserve the properly of the nation, and he must do il. Il was the first authoritative intimation of the policy of the now administration and the new order of things. Differences began to fude nwny on the side of The Union men, after this. The line of support or hos- tility lo the government began to show through party organizalions. . \ violent upheaval wos brenbing Through old parly crusls. 11 was completed The day The nowy cume of The allack on Fort Sumler.

The cily was intense. The sircels were thronged and the corners blockaded hy enger crowds, wailing for fresh news, discussing consequences, and mng- mifying overy chance of reaislance by Major Anderson. Al night, a tueel- ing was held al the Metropolitan Theater, surpassing in numbers and in- lerest any in the history of the city, at which old parly lines were ullerly obliterwied. Democrals and Republicans were equally officers, speakers, committees and authors of resolulions. Aboul half past 9 o'clock the news came to the meeling thal Major Anderson had surrendered, and then it would not have been safe for any man lo have avowed sympathy with the South. " War" was erersbuily's cry, except n few who said pulling. Fur once, all the inveteracy of political feeling und all the naturul hesilation to fight of a people to whom war and all that belongs lo il are unknown were broken down. All seemed lo feel the greal ness of The crisis, and Though There was indescribable excilemehl, there was nol much boisterousness. Hundreds remained out of bed all night waiting about the telegraph or newspaper offices, or collected in knots in saloons or on the corners. The nexi duy, several of our military companies began recruiting The next, Though Sunday, was given more lo baltles than The God of ballles. On Monday morning. The proclamation of the Presulent calling fur 70,000 vol- unleers, and the order of the War Office assigning six regiments as the quola of our Slale, appeared, abil the excitement was given a practical direction.
