GEN SCOTT READY.-Col Forney tele-
graphed to the Philadelphia Press on We'd
nesday night;
The Cabinet was in session from noon I'M
til late in the afternoon. Independent of
the surprise and its results last evening, it
is known that Gen. SCOTS plans for bold
demonstration were nearly consummated.-
He said at his own office, yesterday, before
the President, the Secretary of War, and
the Secretary Of the Treasury, who were in
council GU the movements of the hour $50
"My arrangements are now as | desired
them, aud am ready. Gen. Patlerson's
column Of $4,000 is moving toward Wash
ington, and if Manassas Junction is not va
Gated ere many hours our troops will help
them away.

Bsgr 1t is reported that Gen. Butler has
accepted an invitation to deliver an Grafton
at Richmond on the Fourth of July. Wheth-
er he will do it at the cannon's mouth, or
with his own vocal organs, is not stated
but the Grafton will no doubt be good one,
whichever method he chooses.
If General Butler does anything of the
kind, it will depend, in a measure, upon
the number of Great Bethel " blunders he
makes. few operations like that will pref
ty ellectually wipe out what gio,y hA gained
in opening communication with Washing
ton through Annapolis.

WAS He WOUNDED, OR WHAT Reports
disagree as to the cause of the distempera-
ture of General Price, the leader of the
cession forces at Boonville. One dispatch
states:
General Price is mortally wounded
Another says:
" General Price was taken with a violent
diarrhea at the beginning of the battle,
and was taken on the steamer and carried
to his home in Charlton"
The mistake, if it were not upon solemn
subject, would be funny one. What reds
the matter with General Price, Why
should man mortally wounded be taken
for man in a violent diarrhea2 And
why should a man in a violent diarrha be
taken for man MORALLY wounded.
LATER.-No news from Gen. Price.

1t is stated that 0, 600 men are ready to |
take arms in support of the government in
Western Virginia, and only ask to be placed !
in she van. They are particularly anxious
to get after Brigadier General Wise.
Rev T. E. Webb, of Terre Haute, has been
elected Chaplain to the l4th Regiment, In
diana volunteers.
The l4th and 18th regiments have both
arrived at indianapolis and gone into Camp.
They have named their location Camp
Reynolds, after the commanding officer of
the brigade of which they constitute part.
The I4th regiments departure from Terre
Haute was witnessed by thousands who had
collected for the purpose of bidding the boys
good bye, and many touchingscenes occurred,
as husbands parted from wives parents from
children, and brothers from sisters. The
l4th is one of the best regiments in the
service.
The Journal Office at Indianapolis has
furnished no less than sixteen men in the
various volunteer regiments now in service.
Four have enlisted in the company Of cav
airy recently organized in that city.
Capt. Stuart's company of cavalry, from
Terre Haute, has been removed to Indianap-
oils, and taken quarters in Camp Morton.
The camp occupied by the nth regiment
Col. Hascalls-has been named in honor
of Lieut. Col. Wood, of the United States
arn.y-the officer charged with muster
ing the Indiana volunteers into the Govern
ment service.
The State Journal thinks the beneficial
working of the new militia law is seen in
the prompt manner in which fully organ
lied companies are ready to respond to the
new requisition on Indiana for troops. The
confusion that created additional confusion
at the outset of forming regiments, will be
avoided hereafter by the operation of this
law.
From the quiet way in which Fort Pick
ems has been re-enforced recently, we should
not be surprised to hear soon of the Gov
ernments possessing and holding some
property in that section Of country A
storm is evidently brewing in that direction
The Indians out west are taking sides on
the vexed question, and may soon take up
arms for and against the Government. The
Choctaws and Chickasaws have joined the
secessionists, while the Creeks and Semi
noles are for the Union. John Ross the
chief of the Cherokees, is also an uncondi-
tional Union man.
General Scott has announced that he viii
not move until he gets ready. He is deter
mined to avoid any unnecessary bloodsheC
among his own troops as well as among th'
rebels. He will capture as many prisoner
as possible, firmly believing that as in th'
case of Captain Ball and his company o
Fairfax Cavalry, when they are brOugh
into contact with the truth concerning Tia,
real intentions of the Government, and ar,
convinced, as they will be, when out of tn,
reach of the pernicious influences now sur
rounding them, of the utter folly and mad
ness of rebelling against the Government
they will be glad to return to their al
legiance.

The fruit and grain crops in Southern In
diana and Illinois will he unusually large
this season. The wheat now being har-
vested is very superior in quality, and has
not been injured by the army worm to any
extent. In a few weeks the entire crop will
be ready for market The northern portion
Of the Mississippi Valley is prepared to %io
its part towards crushing rebellion and feed
ing the world.
After Gen. Scott has routed the traitors
who have plunged the country into civil
war: we may anticipate lively times in this
part OF the country Europe needs our
grain, and the South viii need it, and must
have it.

ern papers state that there is reason to be-

amply represented at the summer resorts
during the present season. The New York
Courier says there are numerous instances
of persons regularly Joining the Confederate

dren to the hospitable North. Quite large

HOUSE NG.-Theresidence of Rev.
Mr.. Sterrett, near the city, was entered by
burglars on Monday night. 1t is thought
the rogues effected an entrance through a
window on the first floor, which was not
fastened down. He or they, as the case
may be, carried off lot of silver spoons,
two coats, coffee, and various other little
trinkets. The family slumbers were undis-
turbed by the midnight providers.

BsS- The Terre Haute Express suggests
the formation of an organization in that
city, to be composed of such citizens as are
ready and willing to pledge themselves
to support and uphold the authority of the
Government during the present war and I'M
til it shall be fully vindicated. The clti-
Gems Of Terre Haute, it adds, generally ap-
prove the project, and steps will imme
dately be taken to effect the organization,
and meeting will soon be called for that
purpose. We cannot say that the project
is a bad one

B@g~ What is to be done with the dilapi-
dated old structure known as the Locust
Street Bridge? A large part of it has been
down for many days, and that portion left
standing gives unmistakable indications of
caving in. A new bridge is needed badly
at that point, though majority OF the cit
'zens would prefer going to the expense Of
filling the canal to building new bridge.

and proposed the following method;
that some time VIXEN dead drunk she
should be laid into box shaped like

her fit should be over, and consciousness
restored
