Eighte Of JANUARY Indiana Democrats
and the Rebel Thteves--ThiEtesn facts
Prom the Indianapolis Journal, July 2sth.l
The invasionfof our State by seventy.five
rebel guerrillas has done two things which
might never have been done so efectually in
any other way. It has reused patriotism ont
OF apathy into action, and it has shown where
the friends of the rebels are to be found. We
have thirteen undisputed and indisputible facts
bearing on this latter revelation which de-
mand the earnest attention of every loyal
man in Indiana.
When the rebels attacked Newberg the were
welcomed by q number of the citizens, who
directed and assisted them in their robberies.
Among these was James E. Myrick. He is
the candidate on the 6th of January ticket in
Warrick county, for representa- in the Leg
islature. He has absconded since the Union
men have retaken the town, and cannot be
found.
Another of these rebel aiders and abetters
who has absconded and is now hiding from
the law, is A. FL. Huff. He is the candidate
on the Sth of January ticket for Surveyor.
A third traitor is Mr.. Jessie Fuller. He
drew up the resolutions adopted by the recent
Convention of the Sth of january men of
Warrick county, though they were reported
by John G. Frary as we see by the official re-
port of the proceedings. He was one of the
men who pointed out the houses of Union cit
liens to the guerrillas. He is now in Jail in
this city.
A fourth is Joseph Fuller, also a participant
in the County Convention of the secesh De-
noeracy. He is here in jail, too.
A fifth is Solomon Koker, an active and
prominent sth of January Democrat. He
will be remembered as the fellow who fired
into procession of Wide Awakes at Newburg
in the summer of 1860, while Hon. H. w.
Ellsworth was speaking there. He is here in
Jail also.
Four others are Andrew Houston, William
Brownlee Mr.. Hurst, and Thomas Cole, all
active 9Th of January men, and all in Jail here
for assisting the rebel robbers.
| Another of these traitors is Calvin Frary,
| formerly editor of the Warrick Democrat
He is concealed.
John c. Frary is another He is also hiding
from the law and the vengeance of citizens
whom he assisted the rebels to plumber. From
the official report Of the proceedings Of the
County Convention of the Sth Of January
| Democrats held at Boonvi'le on the 9Th inst.
we learn that this John G. Frsry, who was sc
ardent in welcoming the rebel band, and &C
tive in assisting them, was the Secretary o.
that Convention.
Mefford and Carney, who were shot by the
citizens of Newburg, were both active 18th o.
January Democrats, and took part in theil
late County Convention.
| OF these thirteen traitors, who welcomed
and aided the rebel forces that took Newburg
and sacked the hospital, two were killed on the
| spot four have absconded, viz: the sth o
January candidates for Representative and
Surveyor, the author of the platform of the
Convention that nominated them, and the
| Secretary of the Convention; and seven are
here in jail. All are active and some arc
noted, politicians ofithe Bright and anti-wal
Democracy. Several other prominent men O
that tribe have also left the county, probably
in company with Morgan's thieves, for morC
congenial residence in the South.
