INDIANAPOLIS, IND, MONDAY,

along Many generous acts are related to have
been done by them. worthy of men engaged in a
better cause, but no deed can atone for their das
tardly acts in killing our citizens while unarmed
and in the act of surrender;ng. and had tnot been
for one or two noble spirits, the enemy would
have passed beyond our borders without being
disturbed or answering in any way for the inn0
cent blood they have shed Upon our soil, and
which now cries from the ground for vengeance
-TRouBLE IN COLUMBIA CIrY.-On Friday
morning last. Hiram Iddings, Provost Marshal
for the 10Th Congressional District OF Indiana,
made raid on Columbia City with about 200 of
his invalid corps bushwhackers. &c, for the pur
pose OF arresting a man who, it was alleged. had
resisted an officer in apprehending deserter.
The arrest was quietly made, without opposition,
aud the soldiers were about departing. when, not
satisfied with their military achievements thus
far, they proposed embarking in a crusade against
the Democrats of the town, declaring they would
shoot the first Vallandgham man they found. A
small crowd had gathered to witness their depart
ure and some person IN il, hearing their threats,
proposed three cheers for Valiandigham which
were given with will by the people present. The
soldiers, with drawn revolvers. made an onslaught
on the crowd, and Hon. A. j. Douglas, Senator
from Whitley county, while trying to extricate
himself from the assemblage, was pounced upon
by them aui severely handled. Mr.. Brown, a
much esteemed citizen of Columbia City, inter
fered in his behalf and was fred at four times by
the cowardly ruffians one ball just grazing him
in the side while all the Others missed their
mark. Both Mr.. brown and Mr.. Douglas were
arrested. but after being retained in custody
short time they were released. their captsrs not
deemng it advisable to hold on to them longer
This dastaadly outrage on a peaceable, law
abiding people, without the shadow Of excuse
for there no resistance made to the lawful ar
rest of the man they were sfter-must eventually
revert to its authors with ten fold fury. IfHiram
Iddings, or any other man clothed with little
brief authority, thinks he can thus with impunity
commit outrages on law abiding men because
they entertain political opinions contrary TO his
own, he will find ont his mistake In this sec
ton of the country, the people do not regard
Vallandigham a traitor. nor think it treason to
hurrah for man who is destined to occupy the
Gubernatorial chair of one of the largest and
most peaceful and loyal States of the Union.
Neither will they long tanely submit to such out
RACES. While they will Loyalty and patiently
abide by all lawful measures enacted by the Gov
ernment, they will zealously watch and guard
their right of freedom of speech and thought

Testing the Constitutionaiity of the
Draft.

Governor Seymour's pledge that the constitu-
tionality of the draft will be thoroughly tested,
will be fulfilled. A case covering all the dis
puted points has been made up and it is under
stood win be argued before Judge DAILY. on Mon
dav next, in the Court of Common Pleas. The
subject would properly come before the Supreme
Court. but as some OF the Judges have committed
themselves on it, it was deemed more desirable to
present it before another court-all the courts
being equally competent to entertain it. The
decision will then be carried before the Court of
Appeals, which will be specially convened for
that purpose. If the decision is adverse to the
eonstitutionality of the conscription law, the
Government may appeal it to the Unised States
Court, but during the interval the draft must be
suspended, as writs of habeas corpus will issue.
and be sustained by the whole authority of the
State Of New York. In case the State Courts
sustain the law. the draft will proceed and per
sons considering themselves agsrieved. may ap-
peal to the higher courts.-[ New York Sun.

Abolition Notions ON a ssRespecta BILE

The radicals try to evade the force of the
charge that they were the first to inaugurate
mobs by claiming that there are two different
species of mobs. a respectable and not respect
able one. According to them, mob is respect
able when it is composed of Abolitonists, bent
on the destruction of Democratic newspapers,
and il is not respectable when there are Demo
Gratis among the rioters who seek to wreak ven
geance on the demagoguism of the Abolitionists-
The distinction is nicely taken, and serves to
illustrate the usual style of their logic. ire
spectacle mob" Is about equal to a "gentleman
black guard" who rails at "copperheads" and
expresses the wish that "their brains might be
dashed out on the steps of the Courier Office. /"
Supposing this unlikely event were to happen in
Boston, we incline to the opinion that there
would be larger pile Of brains before our door
than could be got out of the crania of the whole
radical party.-f Boston Courier.

General-I must see him.
Irishman-He left word not to be disturbed.
General-But l am on important business, and
must see him at once
Crittenden was aroused, and, after a short time,
he made his appearance, and the following con-
versation passed between the Generals:
Manson--I have 5000 men under nv COM
mand at the wharf
Crittenden-I am delighted to see you.
Manson-Where is Morgan?
CTittenden-He was at Vernon last night, and
left.
Manson-What direction has he taken?
Critienden--I do not know.
Manson-What do your scouts say 10 regard
TO his movementss
CrittendeD-I have had no scouts out.
Manson then left Crittenden and proceeded to
his boats. He telegraphed to Gen. Burnside that
he was at Madison with 1900 men. and asked
for instructions. Gen. Burnside replied for him
to come on, and If, upon reaching Lawrenceburg.
he found that Morgan was not there or IN that
vicinity, he should come to Cincinnati Gen.
Manson then proceeded to Cincinnati, and, on
reaching that place, he reported in person to
Burnside and asked for instructions he was told
to bring his men ashore and remain there to help
in the defense of the city. At this time, Morgan
was but ten miles from Cincinnati and moving
eastward With the force under his command,
tured his whole command; but instead of this he
remains in his finely furnished headquarters, and
passes away the time until Morgan has passed
safely out of reach. Burnside, If some loyal pa
per had said anything to dsplease his fancy,
would have begun "A fierce upon IT.;
but when the enemy comes within his grasp
with small force, he is unable to 60 out and
meet him.
The Indignation against Burnside for his act

you may hear mutterings deep and loud against
him. / understand that a strong movement is on
foot to have the ''hero of Fredericksburg" re-
moved, and some General that will fight the en-

Democratic citizens put in his place. There is
also considerable complaints against Gen. Boyle
for not allowing our forces to move on Morgan

was asleep and had sent out no pickets while the
enemy we're in the face of the post he comman-
ded, understand that an effort will be made to
have him court martialed.

been with the knowledge and consent of the
friends of the party in power, for they have the
full control of military affairs in Kentucky. Indi-

Ipdeed, the council of war which Meade called
on Sunday night, was designed expressly TO cen
slider that very point. He knew that Gen. Lee
during the whole of the past week, had been
making preparations to cross bis army, and he
believed that il was IN Lees power TO cross
whenever the latter pleased. Hebelieved that. If
vigorously attacked on Monday, Lee could be
defeated, (which was undoubtedly true9 and he
wished to make the attack. And it is said that it
was the positive orders from Washington and not
the advice of his Generals which induced him to
abstain from making the attack ON Monday.
Upon Stanton and Halleck therefore, aud above
all upon Mr.. Lincoln himself, rests the response
bility for the escape of Lees army. That re-
sponsibiity they will now seek to evade by blam-
ing Gen. Meade, and, it may be, by dismssing
him from bis command. But history will fasten
the responsibility upon them. and they cannot
elude il. X.

Says the Lawrenceburg Register:

-OayS tue LiWrenceDurp heglsLer.
During the past few days we have conversed
with quite number of farmers living in Jen-
nings, jefferson and Ripley counties, who have
this far in search of horses stolen from the m
during the march of Morgan through those coun-
ties. Quite a number lost every horse they
owned, with their hay. oats, wheat &c, partially
harvested, and corn that vet needs working
These men have followed on the track of Nor
gan with the hope of finding their own or picking
up horses left on the road partially worn out.
1t is said that near Dupont, upon the border OF
Jefferson and Jennings counties there are nearly
FIVE hundred damaged horses, in charge Of dep
uty Marshal. picked up on the road after the pas
sage of Morgan's forces In Versailles, Jerry
Skeen is said to have in his possession over one
hundred, and in other places upon the route,
there no doubt similar numbers
The condition of many farmers is indeed de-
plorable. Many who are wealthy and ordinarily
prepared for any emergency, are now unable TO
provide horses TO complete the most imperative
work of the entire year.
A number of farmers in this vicinity confident
ly expecting from the course Morgan was taking
that he would pass through Center and Law
renceburg townships, sent their horses into Lo-
gan aud Harrison townships with view to per-
feet safety Several farmers in the vicinity
named had surplus of from ten to thirty head
left with them for safe keeping Judge of their
CONSERVATION at finding that Morgan had taken
an entirely different route from that expected, and
that their entire stock had fallen into his hands
with as little delay and trouble us though the
stock had been forwarded to regular market
The loss of property of all kinds to this State,
during the few days OF Morgan's raid. can not be
less than one million of dollars In this estimate
we do not include the loss of time to farmers and
mechanics employed in attempting to capture the
marauders. nor the expense of transporting and
subsisting them The loss to Ohio will no doubt
be much greater.

An Item OF the History Lincoln is

A circumstance occurred at Vevay. Indiana,
last week which shows the tendency of the mill
iary authorities 10 assume to themselves the pow
er to regulate the political opinions and conduct
of the people. The militia of that place had
been called out TO repel the invasion of John
Morgan, and. after that parsonage had got into
Ohio, they were discharged. On Tuesday even
ing after one of the companies in Vevay had de-
liyered up its arms and were discharged, Mr.. F.
| Dufuur proposed three cheers for Vallandigham
and constitutional liberty, which were given by
the company with good hearty will For this,
Mr.. Dufour was arrested by the military authori.
ties of the place. taken tothe Jail of the county.
and kept there from Tuesday evening until Sat
urday, when he was released on hsbess corpus.
As an offset to the above, on the same evening,
when Mr. Dufour proposed three cheers for VAL
landigham and constitutional liberty. an aboli-
zionist in another company proposed three cheers
\ for John Brown and no constitutional liberty.
which was heartily responded to by the crowd on
the corners of the street. He was not arrested.
however. II was Dutour who was arrested and
confined in the county jail. A Mr.. Heady was
also arrested and imprisoned at the same time
with Mr.. Dufour for participating with that gen.
tleman in cheering for Vallanoigham and consti-
tutional liberty. All that occurred. not in Aus
tria, but in one of the States of the United States
of North America. during the reign and with the
sanction of the first Abolition President OF the

lnSOn.

Sklrmlshlng near Camp Dick Rob
lnSon.
There is no doubt that the eastern por-
ton Of Kentucky has been occupied by
rebel troops. The accommodation train
on the Louisville and Frankfort Rail-
road, which left Frankfort at 10 O. clock
yesterday morning, brought number of
refugees from the interior of the State,
al OF whom have their peculiar versions
Of the rebel raid.
We have a pretty well authenti-
Gated report that Danville has beeu oc-
cupled by the enemy, and that rebel
force OF seven thousand was advancing
upon Frankfort yesterday, having arrived
at Lawredceburg distance of twenty
three miles from the State capital
1t is also stated there vas skirmishing
Yesterday in the vicinity of Camp Dick
Robinson, in which the enemy was worst
ed, but owing TO the superiority of the
rebel f1rce, the Federal troops were
forced to fall back in the direction of
Lexington
There was great excitement Yesterday
morning at Lexington and Frankfort,
the loyal residents of those cities fearing
an immediate advance on the part of the
rebels, and we are aware that the funds
OF the banks in each of those places were
removed. The Frankfort Common
eceaIh of yesterday makes no reference
to the contemplated invasion, however,
and the Lexington Observer and Report
er says merely that minors Of an excit-
ing character-some perhaps we'll found
ed, and Others unworthy Of consideration
prevailing there; but that there was a
smart movement of troops, and Lexing-
ton bore lively appearance
1t would not be proper for US to state
the reasons which back our belief, but
we are clearly of the opinion that the
rebel force which is at present in Ken
lucky will not only not make an advance
upon Louisville, bnt they will not even
make a serious demonstration in this
direction. Without the rebel force is
more formidable than we have reason to
believe it to be, such a movement would
be fatal to the entire command.
kThere is said to be a force of two or
three thousand rebels in the vicinity of
Glasgow, and it is said that they medi-
tate a raid upon the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad; but we do not fear such
result, as the preparations for the de-
fence of the road in the future have been
of such a character as to secure it
against rebel incurslons.
