IT rs CoMISG.--Tbe harvest of toryism
and foul treason, sown by The traitor press
of the North, under the cloak Of Democracy,
is now AZ pearing in different parts Of the
country. and producing its deadly fruits. in
larger quantity than we ever supposed tie
free soil Of the North would yield. The
indianapolis Jown0l gives An account of a
party wearing butternut emblems. riding
into the town Of Danvillc, Hendricks coun
ty. last week, TO hear a speech from Voor-
hees. A difficulty arose between one Of
the band and Union man, which ended by
the display OF weapons on both sides and
the firing Of several shots-lhe X. G. c.
was wounded. Friends on both sides went
in" and pistols were freely and fatally
used and some four or five persons were
wounded, most Of whom were Union men,
The K. G. C.'s were all armed and prepared
for fight, while their opponents were not
only not armed but had no knowledge of
such an invasion of their town being COR
templated. TIE lone guards from Car
tersburg and Plainfeld assembled and
reached for the X. g. C.'s, but they had
vanished. General Darlington made prep
ara,ions to send body Of troops to Dan
vile to suppress the riot but the Home
Guard proved efiectual. A little son Of Mr..
Witbrow, lawyer Of Dan,ille, and former.
ly Senator from that county. was shot in
the abdomen. while walking along the
street, near the scene of this riot ; it was
supposed the wound would prove fatal.
On the same day Saturday the lsth)
still more atrocious attack was made by
members OF the X. q. G. on Union men in
Brown county. The following account of!
it is from one of the most prominent and
estimable citizens o! Martinsvle
There was meeting Of Union men in |

or place had been selected for the meeting,
and Capt. Cunning had commenced speak

and Prosser. in the presence and hearing Of
the two Ssrgeants. said, "he would bet q

He was q member Of the Legislature from
Brown county. some years ago. and has
long been known as the leader Of the most
desperately and deisntly disloyal gang of
4. g. C.'s in the State. Hester, his part
ner. was en- officer in the 22d regiment a
while. but resigned because he could no, be
made Colonel. and came home to organize
K. G.. c. lodges. in which he was one of
the first, rs we'll as most active men in the
State.
Brown county, under the Management, Of
Hester and Prosser, has been perfect hell
for all loyal men. They have been KEEP, in
constant terror, and have repeatedly applied
70 the State authorities for protection. This
last outbreak 10 the feather that breaks
the camels back" The traitors mus, now
look out. General Darlington is in earnest
whom he says that loyal men shall be pro-
tscted. and that traitors shall not modest
them with impunity. There will be day
Of reckoning for these traitors, and i. is not
lar of.
