Thtrtesn Facts for Indlan,ans.
[From the indianapolis Journal, Juy 26. ]


The invasion of our State by seventy FIVE
rebel guerrillas has done two things which
might never have been done so effectualy
in epy other way. 1t has reused patriot
ism put of apathy into action, and it has
shown where the friends of rebels are to
be found We have thirteen undisputed
and indisputabe facts bearing on this lat
ter revelation, which demand the earnest
attention of every loyal man in Indiana.
When the rebels att acked Newburg they
were welcomed by number of the citizens
who directed and assisted them in their
robberies. Among these was James Z.
Myrick. He is The cGndiddte on the 8th OF
January ticket In Wdrrick County for Rep
TesentatiUe in the Legislature. He has a6-
seconded since the Union men have retaken
the town, and cannot be found.
Another of these rebel aiders and abet-
tors who has absconded and is now hiding
from the law is A. Fl. Huff. He is the can
didate on the Sth of January ticket for Sur
veyor.
A third traitor is Mr.. Jesse Fuller. He
drew up the resolutions adopted by the
recent Convention of the 9th of January
men of Warrick County, though they were
reported by John G. Frary, as we see by
the official report of the proceedings. He
was one Of the men t0ho pointed out the
houses Of Union citizens to the gue7riEtas. He
is now in jail in this city. tf,rs7-f5
- The fourth is Joseph Fuller, also par
ticipant in the County Convention of the
Secesh Democracy. He is here in Jail, too.
A ffth is Solomon Koker, an active and
prominent 9Th of January Democrat. He
will be remembered as the fellow who fred
into procession of Wide Awakes at New
burg in the summer of 1860, while Hon. H.
w. Ellsworth was speaker there. He is
here in Jail also.
zle7 Four others are Andrew Houston, Will
liam Brownlee, Mr.. Hurst, and Thomas Cole
all active Sth of January men, and all in
jail here for assisting the rebel robbers.
1T Another of these traitors is Calvin Frary
formerly editor of the Warrick Democrat.
He is concealed.
John G. Frary is another. He is also
hiding from the law and the vengeance of
citizens whom be assisted the rebels to plum
der. From the official report of the pro.
ceedings of the County Convention of the
9th of January Democrats, held at Boon
vile on the 5th inst, we learn that this
John G. Frary, who was so ardent in well
coming the rebel band, and active in assist
ing them, was the Secretary Of that Con-
UentioH.
Is Mefford and Carney, who were shot by
the. citizens of Newburg, were both active
sth of January Democrats, and took part
in their late County Convention.
OF these thirteen traitors who welcomed
and aided the rebel forces that took New
burg and sacked the hospital, two were
killed on the spot; four have abscouded.
viz the 9Th of January candidates for Rep
reseutative and Surveyor the author of the
platform of the Convention that nominated
them, aud the Secretary of the Convention,
and seven are in Jail. All are active, aud
some are noted, politicians of the Bright
and anti-war Democracy. Several other
prominent men of that tribe have also left
the country, probably in company with
Morgan's THE yes, for more congenial res
idence in the South.
The county convention which nominated
James E. Myrick and A. q. Huff, and made
John G. Frary, Secretary, met at Boone
Vile, Warrick county, on the 9th inst. We
have the official report of the proceedings
before US, and in it we see the names of
most of the men above named who are
either in Jail for aiding the rebels or have
absconded. From that report we COPY the
following resolutions which were read by
the absconding, rebel-helping John c. Fra
~, and unanimously adopted:
"That the nominees of the Democratic
Convention, held January 9Th, at Indianap-
ellis, are true and tried men Who will receive
our hearty support; aud that the ticket
nominated this day shall receive an equal
support
THAT the Rockport Democrat, Vincen-
mes Sun, State Sentinel, and other friendly
papers be requested to publish these FRO
ceedings."
Here are thirteen men who assisted reb-
ell force to enter their owa State, capture
their own town, sack a hospital containing
the sick soldiers of their State, and plunder
Union citizens whose houses they pointed
out to the robbers, and every man Of them
is an active 9th of January Democrat; two
of them candidates on the ticket of that par
tyl Is not this fact significant 1t would
be gross injustice to say or hint that ma
jrrity of the men supporting the party of
the 9th of January would do what these
traitors have done, or would approve it, but
it is a fact that that all the traitors in our
State are in that party. We commend this
fact to the earnest reflection of loyal Demo-
