The Copperhcad Riot i'm Indiana Sup
pressed.

INDIANAPOLIS, October 8.
I have the very best authority for
stating that Major General Mcclellan
heartily and unequivocally indorses the
recent proclamation Of the President,
as does large majority Of the Generals
in the Army of the Potomac. A few
murmured at first, and attempted to get
up discussion in camp, which led to the
publication of the order of Gen. Nc
Clellan.
Eight of the copperheads, including
the Sheriff of the county, implicated in
the Blackford County riots, have been
arrested; the others have promised to
give themselves up tomorrow morning.
The draft was enforced to-day without
difficulty.
Harris Reynolds, a leading Democrat
in Fountain County, was arrested yes
terday, for attempting to Interfere with
the execution of the draft in that
county. Two companies of the 63d In
diana arrived in time to protect the
Commissioner, and Reynolds was the
third man drafted.

LOUISVILLE. Oct. 1.-THE Democrat
learns that Capt. Bowles' Quarter
masters train was attacked on the
morning of the 9th by party of rebels,
whom Maj. Bradford held in check near
Frankfort, when Kirby Smith whole
force appeared on the opposite side OF
the river and necessitated surrender
of seventeen Federal Government
wagons and fifteen Suffers wagons
The enemy captured $50 of Sills'
straggiers. Among the Federals cap
tured we:e Mai. Bradford, Lieut.. Cas-
sell, of the .ith Pennsylvania, Capt.
Bowles, Quartermaster, Lieut.. Bailey,
Of the Both Indiana, and Lieut.. Gold
smith, of the 30th Ohio. The Journal
says that Grayson was taken by the
rebels on the Both September.
Nashville is surrounded by rebels
who are committing all sorts Of depre-
datious. The Federals are subsisting
on half rations. Provisions are sold
at fabulous prices.
The rebels captured forty Federal
foraging wagons last week, nine miles
south of Nashville.
Col. Bennett, the guerrilla chief, was
routed on the LIST, half way between
Glalatian' and Nashville. Bennett was

CoRINTH, October 10th.
Grant recalled Rosecrans from pur-
suit yesterday. He reports the enemy
routed, dispersed, demoralized and in
capable of further until strongly rein
forced. He had intended following to
prevent another concentration, beiev-
ing now is the time to destroy them.
The rebel organization fled, before the
relentless pursuit, to several points south
west. Advance scouts report that the
rebels spiked and abandoned eleven
guns. Three caissons were certainly
destroyed, and most Of their ammunition
and baggage captured Our victory is,
incontestibly, one of the cleanest Of the
war. The enthusiasm for Rosecrans
is boundless.
Altogether, we have about 1000
prisoners, ircluding nearly 100 officers,
besides the wounded. About 900 reb-
els were killed. Our killed was about
$50; wounded and missing, say 1900

The Responsibility for stuart's Raid.
WAsnINGToN, Oct. Is.
Relative to the responsibility of the
invasion of Pennsylvania, it is on the
one hand believed that 1t is chargeab bic
to neglect on the part Of our Generals,
and on the other that no com maDder
can be held accountable for affairs
whose origin is simply bravado and au-
dacity, and whose effects are not impor-
taut beyond their moral.
There is rumor to- ght, which is
probably untrue, that the Confederates,
in considerable force, have recrossed
the Potomac at two points, and those
best prepared to judge, assert til It
STARTS movements were simpl y ient

Of the rebel army, which is thought to
he a retreat in the direction of Rich

requesting his presence at an adjourned

Rumors, more than ordinarily def
mite, are afoat to day, assigning new
posts toaromincnt actors on the national
stage. The most pleasurable of these
replaces Secretary Stanton by General
Banks, and sends Mcclellan to the West

How far can Grows Count /?

a correspondent of the PlattsburgE
Republican in discussing this question.
narrates the following incident which
goes far to answer it:
A few years since we were riding
in a stage coach with several gentle
men, when the conversation turned on
the subject of crows, and many inter
esting anecdotes were related. One
gentleman said that he knew that
crows could count--at least as far as
three-for he had often proved it,
Being troubled with crows in his field,
he had often attempted to shoot them.
But they knew what a gun was as well
as he did, and therefore kept out of
his reach. He then concluded to put
up small booth in the field, and place
some carrion-a dead within
gun shot. From this place he sup
posed he could FIRE at them whenthey
alighted to eat. Whenever he enter
ed the booth, the crows would all sit
OF the distant trees, and not one would
come near till he was gone Then all
would alight except the sentinel who
remained to give warning if danger
approached.
The gentleman, finding that plan to
fail, tho't he would deceive them. So
he took his son with him to the booth,
concluding that when they had seen
one go away, the crows would think
the coast was clear, and descend to the
bait. But when the son left the booth, !,
a crow sung out eaaO, car, caaO, There
goes one) but not crow would leave
his place.
The next day the gentleman took
two persons with him to the booth and
then let them depart one at time
The crows on the trees saw the first
and cried out. "there goes one" in
their own peculiar dialect. Then when
the other went the cried "there goes
two;" but they would not alight for
they counted three when they entered.
The day following, the gentleman
took three others with him. When
they went out one by one, the crows
cried "there goes one"-"there goes
two" there goes three" And when
these men were out of sight they all
alighted, and the gun of the fourth
man did its work.
The gentleman stated that this thing
had been tried repeatedly, and it Sas
evident that crows could count as far
rs three, but there their arithmetic
ended. When they viii ascend to she
higher branch of mathematics is yet to
be aseertained. To the mean time
others can bring on their incidents of

The Potato Disease.

) "A writer in theiMark Lane Eng. J
Express, who has made the potato a
study for years, arrives atthe follow
iDg conclusions respecting their d.
-seased condition: - ~l,
The fungus which causes their de-
cay is always perceptible with the mi
croscope, and usually to the naked
eye. 1t generally attacks the stems
FIRST, and then descends to the tubers.
The.same fungusis discovsrable inthe
diseased tubers, and in the soil con-
tjguous to them; and like fungus
has never been found on healthy hapim
or tubers. .s. ...t ..r &
This fungus, when carefully removed
from the diseased leaf and transferred
to the substance Of the healthy -tuber,
will originate the disease at the points
Of incubation in from 4 to 8 days
Every sert of potato viii, under favor
able conditions, suffer /; but, as aFule,
the thicker the skin the less prone is
the tuber to offer a timely. indus to the
spores. All remedies Of any practi.
cal value in checking the disease, are
reconcilable with it's fangoid eharae-
ter; and as a safeguard diseased stems
and tubers should always be burned OF

with a gentle breeze blowing from a
variable point, is favorable to the in

Another good plan is to plant on
