GUERRIL1As.-Thr Throughout oil the Border
States the Rebels seem to he entering into
a through system of guerrilla warfare, or
rather highway robbery. Prowlug over
the country in bands Of four TO five hund-
red, they forage upon the loyal citizens
where there are any, and where there are
none they feed upon their friends They
seize arms, steal horses, rob stores, and pick
pockets in the name Of Jtf. Davis, and
promptly blow out the brains any man who
attempts resistance. The nearest that they
approach 10 even Rebel VA. fare is to lie
in ambush and shoot our pickets. They
cannot be easily subdued, since they keep
clear of Union force and scatter like wolves
al their approach.

A singular story has been in circulation,
to the effect that ten iron-clad gunboats,
built in England, and fully equipped, have
opened Mobile harbor, and three more
are on the way. These constitute the feet
ordered by the Southern Confederacy, and
purchased in Europe. They mount from
ten to thirty guns ench and are said to-be
mailed with G inch iron. The blockade
was run openly by the dint of superior
strength anil weight of metal. Mobile
is thus opened to the commerce of the
world with the support of the newly-acquir'
ed power. The story has not yet been con-

The "bulternut" convention held al ln-
dianpolis on Wednesday was attended, as
the telegraph says, by 5000 5000 persons.
This attendance was supposed to indicate q
very salubrious condition Of affairs for the
Secesh Democracy, who had been lectured
to by Wickliffe of Kentucky whose four sons
are in the rebel army, and by Jesse D..
Bright whose exit from the U S. Senate
was far more dramatic than glorious. But,
when Gen. Lew. Wallece, Gov. Morton,
and Mr.. Ryan were called out by the crowd
in the evening, their stirring aud patriotic
appeals and denuncation Of such semi-secesh
men as Wickliffe aud Bright, were received
by the crowd with the most rapturous ap
pause. 1t then became obvious that the
"crowd" were not Of the "butternup stripe
and that the numbers in attendance were
largely composed of sound Union men who
had neither sympathy with treason nor re
spect for traitors 7 final Of the affai
was glorious Union demonstration.

CaptdiH-In reply to the questions in your
note Of to-day, l answer as follows
To the lst question, answer No. The 45th,
50lh aud SD are not local regiments, they have
"a right to draw from the whole state, aud it is
the governors intention to do everything posi-
BILE to complete their organization, and place
them in the field at the earliest day practicable.
Where ever recruiting Districts have been as
sigued TO those regiments, the Military Com
mttee aud tie people have the same duty to
prcform towards them as they have towards
their local Regiments, and so far as can learn,
though AT first there was hesitency uader wrong
impressions, in mauy counties the committee
aud the people have outgrown the rather mar.
row view at first taken, and now, with money
and influence. they make the same Efforts, for
three regiments named, as for their local regi-
ments. AS patriots, they could hardly do less
I'd, have substantially answered you tic
second question 10 the affirmative already. AS
signing certain counties to you as a recruiting
District before the order for local districts
gives you FIRST claim for your quota OF men
earlier in date than the order for the local regi
ment, aud it is certainly expected that that claim
will be promptly responded to.
81, answer the third question in the affrma
tive, and to the
4th, Say, that as far as regulations will per
nit the utmost effort should be made to fill up
the old regiments now in the field, TO maximum
strength, Immediately. Those regiments ar
not local. They each represent nearly the
whIoe state, aud every consideration shoult
prompt an immediate au filling up oftheir ranks
