Asouth-Western Conrederacy.

Some time ago Richmond paper
stated that the rebels west of the Missis-
sippi talked of getting up sort of
Four State Confederaey on their own
hook" to manage matters till the Yam
KEGS were whipped; but that happy pros
pect having been taken with a fading
complaint, it is now said that a genuine
little confederacy viii be formed, to
maintain its separate existence whatever
may be the fate of the first one. A cor
respondent of the St Louis Republican,
with Blunt's army in Arkansas, says the
dreamers there begin TO talk OF their
isolation from the East, and the possibil-
ity of recalling their soldiers from the
Eastern rebel army, and with the Ar
kansas for their line of defense, estab-
fishing a military republic of the remains
of Arkansas, Louisiana, the Indian Ter
ritory and Texas, with an indefinite slice
of Mexico, thrown to them by the French.
This Aaron Burr-ish idea is no doubt the
property of Hindman; but how are they
to get their troops back? JEFF. Davis
/. will be very likely to keep all he has got
and needs them. Besides, if he sent
them, how could they cross the Missis.
sippi, In the face OF Grant and Banks
These troops that they desire to recall
are 10000 veterans, but the dream Is
impossible of realization. Sam. Hous
ton has, in his rather respected old age
taken some stock in it, and HindmaI
made old "San Jacinto" a visit on th'
subject, couple of months ago. IL
came back rather encouraged; but tn
obstacles in his way, aside from those b
might meet in the shape of Uniol
army, are formidable 1t is said tina
Hindman is about to visit1s sprope, doubt
less to confer with the French Empero
on the subject. Ind Jour, Aug. 26.

SHARP Practice IN TIE LOTTERY WAY.
The following dodge is being played upon
numbers by some cunning chap in Now York.
He obtains the names of various persons
throughout the country. The party marked
for fleeing receives what purports to be a
ticket in some lottery. He wonders from
whom it came, bat cannot guess for the life
of him. Some two weeks after, he receives
the following letter:
"Mr. -, Sir: Your ticket has drawn q
5000 prize, as you will see by the list. If you
will do as direct, you can obtain it. 1 wish
you to secure this prize, and let it be known
among your friends, so that I can sell q
larger number of tickets for the next draw
ing in your vicinity. If you will aid me in
this way will assist you to get the prize.
To have your ticket good you must hold the
managers certificate. To obtain one you
send me q letter dated on the day Of drawing,
and enclose S., the price Of tickets. As soon

THE INVASION OF INDIANA.
Incidents Of Morga1's Raid.

INDIANAPOLIS, July IA.
Last year, when Kentucky was invaded,
Indiana mustered armed, equipped and
sent into that State one regiment day
for IA consecutive days but now that In
diana was invaded, upon the call of her
Governor for troops, 81, 900 men were rails

ATTEMPTED to get out Of of Indiana and cross
the Ohio at New Albany, Madison and Au-
rOra, but he was met by superior forces Of
infantry at each place, whereupon he be-
came disgusted with Hosierdom. As soon
as Morgau's forces reached this State they
commenced robbing stores, residences and
citizens.
At Maukport, the first town in Indiana
they reached, the houses Of citizens were
entered, and the furniture broken, bed
clothing and carpets torn in tatters, and
clocks and mirrors smashed up. The en-
tire route from MaukpOrt to COrydOn was
one Of destruction, houses being burned
and all that could be having been destroy
ell Whole fields have been laid waste,
and every act Of vandalism conceivable
was performed by this band of land pirates,
They reached COrydon on Thursday even
ing at FIVE o'clock, ard, without even de-
mandiug a surrender of the town, threw (
number of shells into it, among helpless
women and children. Near COrydOn :
minister named Glenn, who owned the
finest house in that section was fired upon
by the rebels. He was dragged into thG
house by his wife, who closed the door
The rebels hurst open the door, wounded
him through both thighs, set the house on
fire, and left Glenn to perish in the flames
His wife and other ladies in the house
dragged him out to an orchard, and thus
saved him from being roasted alive.

MILITARY-The new military company
Of the West Side, held an election for officers
on Tuesday evening, with the following re-
suit: William R. NeYins, Captain ThOm-
as Lindsey, First Lieutenant; C. H. Hag-
gsrty, Second Lieutenant. Allof these gen
tIemen have had military experience.
In view Of the interest which they have at
stake, the business men of this city propose
to raise an Independent Company Of one hun
dred men in the city, to be composed Of
business men who have property to defend
and interests to protect. This company is
to be armed atEheir own expense, and to be
used solely 70. the purpose Of preserving the
peace Of the city and protecting the proper
ty Of the citizens; in fact to be a posse com
itItus, holding themselves in readiness to be
called out at any time BY the Mayor and
Chief Of Police. lllzl
As the company would not bs organized
under the State Law, and not therefore sub
jsct, as a company, to be called but Of the
city, there would be no necessity for uniform
ing, OF other expenses than that Of the arms.

"DR. WEBB" IN MEN CEARACTER.-
The Cleveland Leader Of Saturday says:
" The Grand Jury yesterday afternoon re-
turned an indictment against Dr. Joshua
Webb, whose arrest we have previously noted,
containing eight counts, for making and
passiug bogus quarter eagles, dollars, half
and quarter dollars, dimes, &c. He is now
in jail and will probably be arraigned when
the Court meets this morning"
Our readers doubtless recollect something
Of this " DR.. Webb" He first sppearedhere
in connection with the notorious Newcomer,
but, though taking an active part in "pUttiug
up +" the various counterfeitiDg cases in which
the latter was concerned, be was generally
kept in the background, and very rarely ap-
peared on the stand. His plan of working is
said to have been as follows: Selecting
suitable subject for victim, he visited his
place as " DR.. Webb" and, either with or
without his consent, introduced bogus mate
rial, dies, acids, presses or coins, as the case
might be, into the house. If with his con-
sent, a time was fixed for turning out lot Of
bogus, and everything having been prepared
for the purpose, the " Doctor proceeded to
show the other how ait was done" Tns
stuff was melted and poured into the moulds,
which we're then laid aside TO cool, but about
this time the chief operator generally had Oc-
casion to leave for a moment, cautioning the
other to watch closely over the implements
till he returned.
Tho rest is soon told. Hurrying to place
of rendezvous previously fixed upon with
Newcomer, he fund the latter with several
policemen, perhaps in waiting, and, inform
ing them Of how things stood, they hurried
to the house and surprised their victim, sur
rounded by evidence enough to send dozen
men to the Penitentiary. Webb, of course,
never returned to the house, and any state
ment the prisoner made respecting him was
pooh p0ohed" at by the police, who had
heard " enough such stuff as that before,
and knew how far to believe it. IF the in
tsnded victim did not chime in with the Doc
tors plans as described above, the stuff was
secreted in the house, and the police inform
ed where they might find it, so that the re-
suit in either case was about the same. The
victim was detected with evidences Of guilt
around him, which it was not in his power tC
explain away, and, as a general thing, the
raseals succeeded in the object Of their con-
spiraoy. We long ago warned this community
| against both Webb and Newcomer, and,
though some were inclined to think US rather
hasty in our conclusions, the result shows
that we were right. They are both danger
GUS men, and society, for time at least, car
we'll spare their preIence.-PittsbuTgh Chroa-

Sherman in Pursuit of Johnston
The Condition Of GsneT-
al Pemberton.
ITO the Chicago Tribune.l
MEMPH1s. vic CAIRO, July IL.


The Graham is in from Memphis. The
Bulletin contains the following news;
The item in regard to the capture Of
5000 may be exaggerated, but passengers
up, including officers of intelligence and
good means of information, assert that
Sherman has met Johnston in force, vari-
Ously estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000,
driving his piokets on several occasions,
when he had attempted to make stand,
forced him, like Dickens little Joe, to
move. Johnston has the best equipped
army in the rebel dominions west Of Rich
mond, with the exception Of his heavy sr-
tillery. The evidences are that he must
make stand against Sherman, and he
seems to be hesitating where to do it. But
one place will suit Sherman about as well
as another. He has the flower of Grants
army with him, and base Of supplies
which is just as good as could be desired.
The condition Of General Pemberton is
pitiable in the extreme. His officers false
ly, and meanly ascribe the result to all
sorts Of baseness and imbecility, while the
poor man is nearly crazy, and evinces in
an unmistakable manner the humiliation
and anguish he feels. rr
He keeps confined to his room, walks
frsntically all the time, tearing his hair,
and giving all sorts Of evidence that be is
an undone man. He was one Of the few
as we learn from an eye witness, who
gave unmistsksble manifestations Of re-
pugnancs to taking the pOrOle. His cOndi-
ton e1cites the oommiserstiOn of all un-
biased persons at Vicksburg.
