BALTIMORE June l5.-The American S
special report from Harpers Ferry says
General Milroy succeeded in cutting his
way through the rebel lines and reached
there this morning, after evacuating
Winchester. The fighting was very des-
perate. We repulsed the enemy repeat
Iy, with heavy loss, but finally they were
heavily reinforced, and General Milroy
made his arrangements on Sunday to
abandon Winchester, finding that the
rebels were endeavoring to closely invest
the place. He lost some 1000 men, in
killed, wounded and prisoners. Military
movements are in progress TO check the
Reinforcement in this direction, which
it would not be proper to particularize.

The Troubles in Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, June l5.-Our troubles
seem to be increasing. Sunday night
about seventy-hve armed members of
the secret organization of traitors, with
their faces blackened, attacked the
house of James Sill, enrolling officer of
Putnam county, and fired a number of
shots at the building. Sixty shots struck
the house, and one dangerously wounded
young man who was visiting the fami-
ly. Mrs. Sill was called upon to deliver
up the rolls, but she had the presence
OF mind to give up instead, copies of the
old rolls of last year, which satisfied the
assasSins.
At Mount Meridian, in the same coun-
ty, the house of an enrolling officer was
forcibly entered, by an armed mob, and
the enrolling books stolen. In other To-
calities, officers engaged in the enroll
ments, have been threatened.

TIE CoNcERT-Those who voluntarily
staid away and those who were invoiun-

missed a most delightful entertainment
Tie audience present was very large,
to say nothing of the vast concourse who

The Cantate was produced in man
ner that did the most superlative credit
to the performers, some of the passages
reaching the sublime. At this late hour
of writing we have neither time or space

ally enriched the pleasing entertainment
All did well, and it would be ingidious
to discriminate.
Mr.. Theo. Russell did himself con
summate credit as musical director
Mr. Drew presided at the piano with
grace and skill that not only did justice
to the occasion but proved that be was

wellmerited regulations as finished must

representatives of the Provost Marshal

HOME INTERESTS.

MARSHAL s NoTIcE-Itis as much against
the laws of the city of Evansville to put in
or upon the alleys in the rear of any of
the lots in said city any manure, dirt,
trash, dirty water, filth, or any other OBJ
structions, as it is to put the same in or
upon the sidewalks and cutters in front
of said lots. Both are unlawful, and
each person violating said law lays him
self liable to pay fine of not exceed
ing fifty dollars, and it is the duty of the
City Marshal to make complaint against
any violations of the laws of the city that
comes to his knowledge, and he hopes
that the citizens will avoid making
it necessary for him to enforce the laws
against them.

a VETERAN STEAMER.-The steamer
Fort Wayne arrived here on Monday
night from Port Hudson, Grand Gulf and
Vicksburg. She should be sent 10 Bar
NUNS, or to the Museum at Washington,
as a memento of the war
She was one of the numerous trans
ports that ran the Vicksburg batteries,
and received more than her full share of
iron and leaden greetings.
Her cabin, Texas, pilot house, and
smoke stacks are perfectly riddled with
bullets, grape and canister. Her chin
neys are almost ready to fall, so frequent
y we're they perforated
Captain Jim Bunce, her gallant com
mander, looks the bronzed hero of many
a well-fought field, and, although he has
not been in any battle on land, we doubt
not he has passed a more fearful orderlin
twice passing the terrible batteries at
Vicksburg. But Bunce, brave as lion,
calamity braved the dangers and perils
of the blockade, and now returns to re-
ceive the congratulations of hosts of
friends along the Ohio.
The Fort Wayne also participated in
the fight at Milliken's Bend, or, at least
contributed to the repulse of the rebel
attack on that place by bringing troops
and warning gunboats of the attack.

Beg~ 1t has been frequently asserted
BY the copperhead press, that the soldiers
were misinlormed by the loyal press OF
the North in regard to the sentiments of
the Butternus We publish the follow
ing extract from a letter of Gibson
county Democrat. of Go. B, 5Sth Indi-
ana, to lis friends in Gibson county It
shows that the soldiers judge of the dis
loyalty of home traitors from their pri-
vate letters:
1--WE must admit that we feel some
what mortified, to think that we cannot
pick up a newspaper without seeing
something about the difficulties in Glib
son county, in regard to the war, and
about the same in our private letters,
fully convinces us that there is too much
truth in the charges made against the
loyalty of portion OF the citizens of
Gibson county, In our private letters
from there we soldiers are denounced as
Black Abolitionists, Lincolnites, and the
like. If we were easy scared, we would
even feel discouraged, but we beg leave
to say emphatically that they are mista-
ken, We only wish to reiterate what was
said by all of us when our company was
being raised, and that was this, that we
esteemed our country higher than any
political party, and we now say, as we
said then, that we regard any man who
is not in favor of a vigorous prosecution
of the war, for the suppression of this re-
| bellion in the United States, as a tory
traitor, and scoundrel, unworthy
to be countenanced'by the meanest sol
/ der in the army"
