The INDIANA RAID.-A private letter writ
ten by gentleman at indianapolis, makes the
following reference to the guerrilla raids and
the war feeling at the west -
eve have just had raid into Indiana-a
good thing. The boosters are mad as humble
bees; and while l am now writing, hear the
cheers of any quantity of new military organ
izations, raised within few hours for one pur-
pose and another. One colonel. who is at
home on recruiting service, at a few hours,
notice, raised in Decatur county six hundred
men to go into Kentucky and clean out Nor
gan. His men enlisted for thirty days. They
consist Of about all the county officers, law
yers, merchants, &C., of the town. Colonel
Gavin is to be reinforced with home guards.
&C., and expects in thirty days to send Nor
gan and his men to the king of traitors-the
devil. He has no idea of guarding rebel
property and catching niggers."
The war feeling is throughout the west Wig
orous and decided, except among those who
sympathize with VOORHEES,, vallandigham. and
their set.

were kept up to the highest pitch of enthusi-
SIN till far into the night. Addresses were
made by many distinguished citizens, contri-
buttons were poured out like water, and
promising beginning was made for filling up
the quota of northern Illinois. At the Bryan
hall meeting ringing resolutionswere adopted,
and the following poem was sung amid great
enthusiasm -
Tune-"The first gun is fired"
We coming. Father Abraham-three hundred
From Mississippis winding stream and from New
England's shore;
We leave our plows and workshops our wives and
With hearts too full for utterance, with but silent
tear;
We dare not look behind us, but seadfasty be-
fore
We are coming. Father Abraham-three hundred
thousand more.
If you look across the hilltops that meet the north
eTn sky,
Long moving lines of rising dust your vision may
descry;
And now The wind an instant, tears the cloudy
veil aside,
And floats aloft our spangled flag in glory and in
pride;
And bayonets in the sunlight CLEAN, and bands
brave music pour
We are coming, father Abraham-three hundred
thousand more!
If you look all up our valleys, where the growing
haryestS shine,
You may see our sturdy farmer-boys fast forming
into line
And children from their mothers knees, pulling
at the weeds,
And learning lrow to reap and sow, against their
country's needs;
And farewell group stands weeping at every cot
tage door;
We are coming, Father Abraham-three hundred
thousand more!
You have called us, and we're coming, by Rich
mOnd bloody tide.
To lay us down for freedoms sake our brothers
bones beSide
Or from foul treason's savage grasp to wrench the
murderous blade,
And in the face of foreign foes the fragments to
parade.
Six hundred thousand loyal men and true have
gone before;
We are coming, Father Abraham-three hundred
thousand more!

CAMP PLEAsUREs.-On the evening of the
10th inst, after the dres sparade of the 25th
Massachusetts, at Newbern, 1t Col. Sprague
informed the boys that he proposed a short
drill, at which announcement some looked
good-natured and some surprised. His or
ders, however, were obey ed, which were to
form square in four ranks, when. in behalf
of the line officers of the regiment, Capt
Atwood entered the area and presented to
adJutant Hardness a sword, belt, gauntlets,
and shoulder-straps-all rich and handsome.
The adjutant, according to the New
bern Progress, was fairly captured, taken by
surprise, but he rallied, and returned the cap
tain's good wishes in a neat impromptu
speech. Capt. Moulton then presented the
adJutant new silver tobacco box, after which
Col. Sprague proposed three cheers for the
recipient Of the presents, which were given
with such heartiness that they might have
been heard at Kinston by those whose ears
were acute enough; and thus terminated the
"short drill" to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned, and especially the adjutant.

Death of E1-PresIdent Van Buren.

Martin Van Buren, died at his residence in
Undertook, n. Y, on the morning of the
24th inst, in the S0th year of his age. For
quarter Of a century-from 1915 to l8lO-be
was one Of the foremost of American public
men, Born of humble parentage in 1882 he
was emphatically ''the architect of his own
fortunes" 1t is said of his parents by one of
ms Dlographers, that ''his father was a WORTH,
lllterate man, who cultivated a small e,.,,,
and kept small tavern. He was Of such
imperturbable good temper that he nevor had
quarrel in his life. His mother was tbo mo
tive power of the family-an active. nol;to
person, fond Of politics. and uncommonlv so
gacious in the management of her affair .
Martin was apprenticed to village attorro,,
in his fourteenth year, and completed his To-
gal studies in the Office of Col VIM. p Van
Ness, who was famous in his generation as the
friend and second of Aaron Burr in his duel
with Gen. Hamilton. He first entered public

On the conservative

There has beehive see-another meetino
of the so.called conservatives" in congress.
WIN Mr. Crlttenden ut their head, to proclaim
policy IN the conduct of the war and the
adjustment of all sectional controversies
we cannot but think such movement pre-
mature, even if it comprised every s'conserv-
alive at Washington, and we cannot helm
thinking, too, but that just such movements
have already, in the hands of such men as
Nallandigham, and others who figured at This
meeting, done vast deal to distract nublic
attention from the true issues, and the real
and only method of dealing with an atrocious
rebellion.
whoever else may be caught by any such
devices the Union men of Maryland are NOT
llkely to be. They well remember the advent
mere OF this same Vallandigham and his nar-
ucular friend breckenridge, backed by some
otherS VINO have since clearly demonstrated
tneir standing, for the purpose of advocating
a conservative policy Of some kind that was to
ue the hands OF the government until Mr..
JEFFERSON DAVIS and his friends should at leis-
ure accomplish their vile purposes That
many, perhaps most Of the gentlemen who fg-
ureu a! inc recent meeting in Washington are
Pa'lotic we shall not assume to doubt. but
even these, we fear, are to be made subsor,i
gu! 70 tle sharper men in the present crisis of

gle will severely letthem alone. pN'

to paralyze the strong arm of the govern
ment in dealing with the rebellion. And we
imagine that Mr. Jefferson Davis, if he were
permitted to dictate a course of action here
himself, would desire nothing better in the
way OF an effective diversion in his favor than
these so called conservative" efforts on
tue part OF the politicians. We hope, then,
that for the present, at least, the masses-the
real people-will Enthusiastically frown upon
this movement. There can be but two par
ties until the rebellion is put down-''those
for the government and those against it,"
as averred by the lamented Douglas. We
want no ''butfers," nothing to come between
the 'belligerents" until the question of POWER
is settled, and after that peace will come of
itself, and without having anybody to thank
for Intervention" We dislike ''interven-
ton" almost as much here, as when it is ten
dered or limited at by John Bull, and will none
of it. That Vallandigham did not figure in
this Washington meeting is nothing to the
purpose when we notice some of the 9TH
er names that did. He has become so
obnoxious that those in sympathy with
him have at least learned to keep him
in the background, if they would have
the shadow of hearing from the really
patriotic of the nation. This rebellion is not
to be put down by any kind of conservative"
oratory or ''resolution" making. That was
tried thoroughly at first, and with the Crit
tenden compromise resolutions" The afro
cious foolery of that period even now makes
one feel indignant, as we think of the part ia
ken by such men as Mason, Davis, Benjamin,
and others, in maneuvering merely to gain
time, and with no purpose whatever of ac-
cepting any terms at all which should stop
them short of an appeal to arms. They have
sought the latter, insisted upon it; let them
get sufficiency of what they were after, and
let the nation trown down all attempts to
make terms for them until they are thorough
ly whipped-as they richly deserve.

The POSTAGE STAMP CURRENcY.-It is re-
ported that postmaster general Blair has an
nounced that his department will neither re-
deem nor exchange postage stamps issued bv
it, nor engage to acknowledge its own stamps
if soiled by use. 1t is the beginning of a diff
ference between the post office and treasury
departments in relation to the use of stamn
currency at all. The correspondent of the
New York Evening Post makes the following
just remarks on this point:-
In the light of facts, this announcement
looks very much like dishonesty on the part
Of the post office department Within week
the department has sold million of dollars
worth, or near it, of postage stamps to be
used as currency under the new law The
department well knew that the enormous
sales were not for postage, but for currency.
A large proportion of the stamps sold were of
the hye, ten, and twenty-four cent denomina-
uohs, which, if not exchangeable or redeema-
Die' are worthless TO the holders. Yet the
department proceeded quietly for a week in

TERRIBLE POWDER EXPLOSION AT HAZARD
v1LLE-EIGHT LIVES LosT.-Precisely at
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, five of the
buildings used in the manufacture of powder
by the Hazard company at Hazardville, CT,
exploded from some unknown cause. Seven
OF the workmen and one teamster were in
stantly killed. Severe damage was caused to
the buildings in the village, especially by
window-glass breaking, and the noise and lar
OF the explosions extended perceptibly over
an area Of 20 miles or more, and were at first
attributed to earthquakes. The first explo-
sion occurred i'll a press building; and the
cause Of it will never be known, as all the
men therein were instantly killed. The
second explosion was of another press build
ing; the third, fourth and fifth explosions
were in cracker or corning mills, and came so
near together as to sound like one report. The
men killed were mostly foreigners, having
families, and their remains were so badly seat
tered and mutilated as to defy recognition,
except In the case of one who was bathing in
the basement He was found dead, though
apparently uninjured The names ofthe dead
were as follows :-Leno Monseau, Edward
Grammond, VIM. Neeland Henry Clark.
Patrick Fallan, James Beach, Arthur Beach,
Patrick Corney.
The building in which the first explosion
occurred was san old settler" having stood
Tor twenty years, without damage, through
many former explosions. The loss of powder
ana property is not so serious as to interfere
with the regular business of the cOmnany.

slble. The company has some seventv-fye
buildings left, including duplicates of all those
