The Invasion of Indiana.

The movements of John Morgan, the
great freebooter of modern times, are
still somewhat wrapped in mystery.
We have many rumors but they are so
conflicting that we know not what to be-
lieve.
Yesterday we received telegram from
Vincennes stating that passengers by the
Ohio & Mississippi railroad report that
Morgan reached Salem yesterday morn
ing and burnt the town.
We publish number OF kilograms
from the indianapolis Journal OF yes
terday, which our readers may judge OF
as they read them.
We think it very probable that Gener-
al Shackleford is across the river with a
large force in pursuit of Morgan, and
if the people of our own State do their
whole duty not a man of Morgan's band
will ever recross the river, except as
prisoners of war.
The people of Indiana are responding
nobly to the call of the Governor, and
the temerity of the robbers will be speed
lily and terribly punished.
1t is estimated that $4,000 men arr
now under arms in Indiana.

Attention. Farmers.

An encampment for members OF the
Legion having been opened in the su-
burbs of the city, they need straw to rem
der them comfortable. In behalf of
these soldiers who have taken up arms
at the call of our gallant State, we APP
peal to the farmers in the country to
bring in loads of straw, for beds. These
men are armed and in camp to defend
your homes and to save your horses and
your cattle from being stolen, and your
houses from being burned by the robber
and incendiary, John Morgan.
These men have shown prompt read
ness to do their duty. We now appea
to the farmers to do theirs.

mort to the Stockholders.

The Board of Directors, IN surrender
ing the trust con6ded to them year ago,
submits to the Stockholders the following
brief repor: embracing all the material
results of their administration:
At the beginning of the year much
doubt existed as to the practicable
ity of maintaining the existence OF
the Association during the year:
There we're many causes which operated
to produce such doubts, and among them
were, the difficulty experienced by form
er Boards in making the annual collec.
ton of dues from Stockholders; the total
indifference of members manifested so
plainly and persistly, and their neglect
in affording proper support and encour-
egement to the managers; the uniortu-
nate condition of the country and the
engrossment of our people IN active prep
arations for the defence OF our homes
against the threatened attacks OF the
bandits who then infested Kentucky near
US on the opposite side of the river
these and other causes, left small hope
that much good would be accomplished
during the year. The Board, however,
entered upon their duty with energy and
a determination to leave the condition oil
the Association, if not improved, at least
in as good shape as when received from
the late Board. They claim no credit FOL
their management, yet it gives them
mucA qualification to be able to submit
at the close of their term, report more
favorable and more satisfactory than the.
expected when their duties commenced
That the results Of their administration
may be properly placed before the Stock
3 holders the following statement, in con
: nection with the reports of the Treasure
= and Librarian, is herewith snoritted:

WHAT REMAgxABLE DAyt-This was
an Utmost universal remark yesterday,
a nd cue to which all'assented. 1t was
remarkable day
Tie sun rose behind thin clouds
through which it could be seen great

AS it travelled up the Eastern slope the
fiery appearance gave place to more
mellow and a kind of yellow or golden
tinge.
1t was a singular day indeed, dark,
gloomy and still.
But little air was astir, the atmosphere
had singular taste and odor.
There seemed to be some component
part of atmosphere lacking, and to
superstitious reader of history it must
have inspired feeling of dread, and
one could not help recalling Bulwer
description of the last days of Pompei
We should not be surprised to learn thai
Lees army was being annihilated, bu
we do not pretend to say that the appear
ance of the day was a premonltlon o
such an event.

cannot be accounted for or explained oil
any other theory, those who desire ma
consider it the result ofthis atmospheric

my wagon train that arrived here yes
terday, from Harrisburg, having come
to that place from Martinsburg Virginia,
halted Tuesday evening at a point about
fourteen miles from this city The people
along the road were frequently alarmed
as the train advanced, supposing it to be
a rebel force But at the point where
the halt of Tuesday evening occurred,
the proprietor of fine house and estate
went to the chief officer of the train and
asked if they were secessionists. By
way of a joke, he replied that they were
Thereupon the gentleman bid them well
come, and told them that his: house and
grounds, and anything he possessed were
at their disposal The officers and men
were disguised at such copperheadism,
and letting them know they belonged to
the Union army, helped themselves to
what they wanted, and treated the pro-
prietor to ducking. They were prin-
cipally from Ohio, and have been in SER

From the foregoing statement, it ap-
pears that the past year has been pros
porous, and that the interest of the ASso-
citation in the hands of the present Board
has not been neglected.
The highly successful management of
the finances of the Association, which
enables the Board to present so favor
llill.a oevlreai rIie treasurer :; it redIIfes
more than ordinary tact to make the col
lection of so many small amounts from
so many members, and in some instances
from delinquents who pay reluctantly,
and seem to regard the amount so paid
as an absolute loss But it is due to the
members to say that the payments gem
orally have, as it appears from the 1rea-
surer's report, been made promptly and
without unnecessary delay. 1t will also
be seen that the Association is entirely
free from debt, and that balance of
S. 46 remains in the hands of the
Treasurer to be paid over as legacy
to our successors.

My connection with the Association
has been so short that my report must
necessarily be brief.
The rooms of the Association since
they have come under my charge have
been kept open in accordance with the
rules and regulations respecting the
same The books, maps, charts and
other property of the Association have
been carefully used and are in good con-
ditlon. AT one time l felt considerably
annoyed by young men who visited the
rooms during my absence and made i'm
proper use Of the register for stran-
gers, but 1T has been stopped and hope
that such conduct will not be repeated.
Tie recent addition of new books has
largely increased the interest in the Lii
brary, and the patrons of the institution
fully appreciate the selection 1t is only
by continued addition to the Library
that such interest can be kept up, and
any arrangement which could be made
with the proper person to supply the
Library with all the recent publications
would, it is believed, prove very advan-
tageous.
The usual magazines, periodicals and
newspapers confined to be received reg
ularly. Respectfully submitted,

This purchase of books is the largest
ever made from the current income in
any one year, and the largest addition
to the Library since 1856 when by the
payment in full of forty sharess the Board
then in charge was enabled to place up
on its shelves over one thousand volumes;
but from the ordinary resources no an
nual addition equal to this has been
made. The books purchased are chiefly
of the most recent publications and many
valuable standard works are embraced
in the selection. For the donation of
books the Association is indebted to the
Hon. y OH. Law, to whom former Boards
have had frequent occasion to make
similar acknowledgements. The Board
mentions with pleasure the names of
Miss Addie Powell, James H. McNeely.
Thos. Walker and j. Shanklin for lib
eral donations of books and periodicals.
These donations are all times acceptable
and they evince upon the part of the
donors liberality and spirit worthy of
imitation. The Librarian reported that
elghty-two volumes were owing to their
ragged condition unfit for use, and upon
critical examination sixty-three vol
umes were considered good, and were re-
bound, and nineteen volumes found too
mutilated were replaced by purchase of
new copies.
The reading room continues to be
pleasant and valuable feature of the in
stitution and is supplied, as usual,
with the leading magazines, periodicals,
and newspapers.
The Association is indebted to the
publishers for the following papers fur
nished free of charge: The Evansville
Daily Journal, Vincenues emi-Weekly
Western Sun, Boonville Democrat. and
Princeton Clarion
Last October Mr.. Thos Conyngton,
who had been for several years the eff
cIent Librarian, rendered his resignation,
and Mr.. Thos. Walker was appointed to
fill the vacancy. The Board takes occa-
sion to express their sincere approval of
Mr.. Walkers faithfulness and unvarying
courtesy and recommend his continu-
anee in Office
1t was with regret that the Board felt
compelled during the year to erase from
the list of Stockholders, (by declaring
forfeiture of their stock) many who
had at one time been active and Jealous
supporters of the Association Though
abundantly able to meet all assessments.
they disregarded all calls and persist
emily refused to pay them Under these
circumstances forfeiture of their stock
seemed demanded by the interest of the
paying members. These shares were
