brief space in your paper, for the purpose Of

with the plunSadering Of the hospital at New
burg, on last Friday.
All sorts of false and to myself damaging
reports, as to my connection with that affair
have been circulated About o'clock my
attention was called to a boat, which was ap-
preaching from the Kentucky shore. i'm
mediatelY wake down to the river bank to
ascertain W hat it was. 1t was evident from
a slight observation, that they were band
Of robbers. In this conviction, Capt. Dor
ley concurred with me. | then requested
the Captain to take charge of my men and
defend the hospital, this he declined, but
advised me to place them uGder the com
mand of a Sergeaat. Sergeant Henry be-
ing present., requested him to assume COM
mand, which be promptly did. But before
he could possibly get his men armed the
mob were at the door, with guns cooked at
the ward master, demanding the surrender
of the hospital.
There was no alternative but to submitt,
Resistance would have been worse than
useless; it would have been madness. l
have no doubt but that Sergeant Henry did
all in his power TO prepare for defence, but
the time being SO exceedingly brief he could
not get at the gus and cartridges aud get
them loaded in time. During this time
had started across to the Frame Hospital to
prepare the soldiers there for proper de-

LET Us PROTECT OURSELVES.
1t is burning shame on the citizens of
Southern Indiana, along the Ohio River,
that they are in no better position of de-
Tense than they are Appeals have been
made to them, time and again, by the au-
thorities at the Capital and in the several
border counties, to organize into military
companies for self protection. Our energetic
and patriotic Governor, and his subordi-
mates, have been prompt and untiring in
der counties. Nothing has been lacking to
put this county and others on the river in
a complete state of defense against any
force likely to be brought against 1t, except
the manhood and the ambition among able
bodied citizens to lead them to use the pow
ers that nature and the authorities have
given them for their own protection. In
stead of the activity and organization that
should exist, what do we see Apathy
and disregard of danger. The raid on New
burg served to break the spell temporarily;
but it seems as if nothing short of Taid
on EVansUiLte will arouse our people to a
realizing sense of their exposed condition,
and their duty in the premises to them
selves and their countrymen.
Our cheeks ought to burn with shame
when we see in our midst men from other
parts of the State, sent here for our defence
by Governor Morton and called from occu~
pations as important to them as ours are to
Us aud now kept from their families and
business, which demand their attention, for
our protection. We on this Border ought
to be amply able to protect ourselves, and
would be able if we only were willing to
forget the almighty dollar for while to at
/ tend to matters of a thousand fold more inn
| portance.
Governor Morton, on Monday evening,
in his soul-stirring speech, depicted in glow
ing colors the duty of citizens on the Bor-
der, in this great national emergency. The
hundreds who heard, went away with inn
proved ideas of their duties in this hour of
their country's peril, and good fruits be-
lieye will follow that excellent speech.
The spirit that is prevailing throughout
the State, and leading hundreds of the best
citizens to give their time, property, money
and even themselves to the good cause, it is
hoped and believed will soon become preva-
lent in this portion of Indiana. God speed
the day. CITIZEN.

Kchea'4SRids and e e bel Synpathizers.
The following, from the Louisville Jour-
nal, addressed to the friends and sylnpathEers
of Joha Morgan and Adam johnson, Gin
Kentucky, may, with great propriety, be-
addressed to their friends and sympathizers
in Indiana. The loyal men Of all the States
are now about to that temper that will
brook no treason, or sympathy with trea-
son, in either act or speech:
John Mergan's friends and sympathiEers
in Kentucky may as well let him under
stand, for their own sake, that bis raids are
likely to do an essential injury TO them
His presence within our borders with a
band of thieves, robbers aud niurderers at
bis back, cannot fail to prompt our loyal
authorities and cur loyal citizens to adopt a
stringent and stern policy to those among
rs who are known or believed 10 be co-ope-
rating with him, acting as his spies, or at
least wishing him success. In times of
peace and quiet, a community can well
afford to let every man go unmolested
whose guilt is not beyond all reasonable
question, bat, in a season like this, when
war is abroad Ia our land, when secret rebel
conspiracies against life and property are in
| the midst of US and all around US, when
| the very atmosphere seems surcharged
with peril, and when nightly SUM
bers are haunted and disturbed by
dreams of blood, men occupying doubt
| ful positions must expect that their &C
tions, their words, their very looks will be
severely scrutinzed by minds awake to the
fearful character of the crisis, and that the
public security will be allowed the benefit
of every doubt. 1t is far better that score
of good men or hundred or five hundred
should be iujured-better for the public
and better even for the innocent victims.
| Suspicion is now just and ample ground of
arrest. A man has no right to claim ex-
emptiUn from arrest unless he has loyal
| reputation.
OF course arrests are numerous. As the
public danger increases, they necessarily be-
come more and more 50, but, as yet, not one
secret traitor in twenty has been seized or
in any way interfered with. If our rebels
find the condition of affairs getting to be
uncomfortable, the best thing they can do
to remedy it is to use their influence to in
duce their guerrilla friends to flee from the
State and never return to it. When robbers
and assassins are prowling aroucd house,
! the master tolerates no suspicious characters
within who might treacherously unlock the
doors at the midnight hour, and guide the
outside ruffians to their work of pillage and
| blood,

A DISAPPOINTED FREEBooTER.-We have
very reliable authority for the following
statement from which it is evident that
Morgan is the most thoroughly disappoint-
ed and dishearteued fellow in the State:
When he entered Versailles, the princi-
pal secesh of the town went to him and
begged him for Gods sake to leave the
State as rapidly IS possble-that his COM
ing at this time would utterly ruin their
cause at the August election, if it had not
already done so. Turning sharply upon
them, he replied: Gentlemen, came into
the State on your invitation, having re-
ceived not less than tloo thousand letters
from various parts of the State-more from
Anderson county than anywhere else. You
promised me that | should have all the
help needed-that the flower of the State
would join me. I have come, and now you
beg me to go away again. You send me
miserable few recruits on foot, and to
mount them | must steal the horses. l am
here at your invitation, and will mount all
tae pep vr ds tie
The same, 10 substance, was repeated by
him at Lawrenceburg, Anderson county,
proving how deeply he feels the terrible
disappointment. And now that his forces
have been defeated and will he cut all to
pieces before they can get out of the State
1T any are left to reach the borders-we
don't believe John feels in the best possible
humor with himself or friends

MORE CoNTRABAND GooDs.-We noticed
the other day the seizure on board the
steamer Lady Franklin, of some 30 barrels
of whisky concealed in casks of salt, and
of seven barrels more hidden in casks of
ham.
Since then we have received notice of
the following seizures
Sixteen barrels purporting to he dried
apples, shipped by steamer Commercial,
proved to be whisky.
Ten barrels of eggs on the same boat
were found to contain whisky.
Ten barrels of eggs on the steamer Wood
ford were found also to be principally good
whisky.
The credit of these last seizures is due to
A. Gilbert, the efficient agent of the Board
of Trade.
