Indiana Invaded,

A force of rebel cavalry has actual
ly been making an extensive and
damaging raid through the interior of
the State of Indiana. One guerilla
force has been beaten and dispersed,
but another, much more formidable,
subsequently crossed the Ohio from
Kentucky, and, at last accounts, was
making dash towards the Ohio aud
Mississippi Railroad. This Is bring
ing the war near home, and will have
the effect to arouse the public mind
to realizing sense Of the crisis. The
Free States of the Northwest have,
thus far, been entirely exempt from
incursions and raids, and we can well
imagine the degree ofcxcitement that
now exists in our sister State, as the
result Of this bold invasion and they
in Indiana, and we in Iowa, can well
appreciate the necessity of making
more extensive preparations for home
defense than have heretofore been
thought of. The militia ought to be
organized 1t once, and home guards
should be on war footing, ready for
any emergency. a

The Indian War.
ST.. PAUL, June %, 1856:

ST. Paul, June %, 1863.
Major Hatch Of this city, has been
authorized by the War Department to
raise an independent cavalry force
which moves against the hostile Indi-
ans, without regard to other military
expeditions. He willtake about 900
men oil mounted. His force will be
largely composed of Chippewa Indians
and Red river half breeds. Major
Hatch proposes to start in about
month aud will move directly and rap
idly to Pembina, and from thence will
pursue such o course as circumstan-
ces require. They intend to pursue
Little Crows forces until they kill or
capture them. and the arrangements
made for rapid movements render it
probable. This flying expedition will
accomplish more than the slow trains
which are now Flooding over the
plains.
A trader who has just arrived in
town this afternoon from Fort Garry,
says Little Crow was there when he
left, on the Sd inst, with sixty warri-
ors and few squaws. most Of them
dressed in citizens clothes taken from
their murdered victims. They were
well armed with rifles and revolvers.
Little Grow asked Gov Dallas for am
munition, but was refused. He claim
ed to be friendly to the people in the
British Possessions, and promised not
to disturb them unless they joined the
Americans. Little Grow claims to
have 800 tents at st. Joseph, which
would indicate force of 500 warri-
ors. He knows the number that were
hung, and the disposition that has
been made of the remainder of the In.
dians who were captured. He says
he expects our troops will kill him
and all his men, but he thinks they
will not catch him this season. This
party had two white boys who were
captives. but the priest at st. Joseph
ransomcd them.

Roseerans' Army in Motion.

A Cincinnati dispatch says, Rose
GRAMS army has been served with ten
days rations, and were all in motion.
Their destination is contraband, but
may be inferred, from the fact that
Bragg, with a large portion of his
army, is reported to have reached
Richmond on the 10th. The impress
sion in military quarters is, that the
rebel leaders have given up the idea
OF being able to hold Vicksburg, and
have determined to give up the South
West. Bragg is to take care of Rich
mond, while Lees army moves North
and threatens Philadelphia. Baltimore
and Washington. From the present
aspect Of affairs at the East, this the.
DRY looks plausible. ----

Military Preparations at the East.


Lee will soon be threatened by two
formidable armies--that of Hooker,
which is now harrassing his forces,
and that of Couch, who is now organ
izing militia troops at Harrisburg and
at other accessible points, preparato-
ry for grand movement to the Penn
sylvania border, into Maryland, and
across the Potomac. There are now
in the neighborhood Of fifty thousand
men under arms in the State of Penn
sylvania, who will soon be ready for
active operations. Hooker and Couch
will then cooperate, and they will
have the side supports of Gen. Brooks,
from Pittsburgh. Gen. Kelly, from
West Virginia, Gen. Tyler, from Ma
ryland Heights, and Gen. Schenck,
from Baltimore.
Bringing together all the forces
now organizing and those organized,
in Pennsylvania. Maryland and Vir-
ginia, we will have troops enough to
sweep the rebel hordcs ont of exis-
tence. Our armies at the East, all
combined, will number between two
and three hundred thousand men, by
the end Of the present week. With
such force, Lee ought to be annihi-
lated and Richmond captured in less
than month from date. -.....~

The Invasion of Pennsylvania

A Harrisburg despatch dated on the
9th ult. at 10 o'clock P. NJ, says: Our
pickets at Sterrets Gap were driven
in and number captured. The rebels
are said to be moving on Havre de
Grace and it is also reported that
Hooker has opened the ball. All the
citizens of Harrisburg are armed and
will cross the river tomorrow. In q
skirmish at Walnut Bottom this morn
ing, eleven men were wounded. The
rebel cavalry scouts are seven miles
this side of Carlisle.
A Kingston despatch of 6 r. n. Sat-
urday says: 1.-The enemy being on
our flank, our forces evacuated their
position, and the rebels are advancing.
At 9 o'clock the rebel advance was
halted"
Another despatch, dated in the field,
four miles east of Carlisle, says =" We
are in line of battle. Our forces are
in position on hill, supporting the ar
tillery. Capt. Boyd is on our front
with the enemy in sight"
A Harrisburg despatch Of the 2Sth
says: "1'he enemy are within four
miles of our works, and are advanc-
ing. The fire of the artillery is dis
tinctly heard, and the troops are in
position awaiting an attack. The au-
thorities feel confident Of their ability
to repulse the rebels, and battle will
probably take place before night. So
far the Pennsylvania railroad is safe"
A second despatch says "A con.
flict is now going on, and the cannon
aiding can be heard here. No particu-
lars" -.
A Washington despatch says:
"There is no doubt that great bat
tie has been fought in Maryland, and
perhaps Pennsylvania. Suffice it to
say that the movements Of our army
have been made with promptitude and
rapidity, and feeling of confidence
prevails"

The Rebel Invasion.

Gen. Lees concentration of troops
for movement towards the North has
for several weeks been known at the
War Department in Washington. The
Administration has been aware that
he meditated march Northward, not
only for reasons pertaining to the sub
sistence Of his army, but to retrieve
the dropping prospects of the Confed-
eracy, which, in the Southwest. is
threatened with disruption.
Gen. Halleck has undoubtedly made
every preparation to prevent the sue
cess Of the rebel schemes, and turn
their bold enterprise into q disastrous
operation for them. Gen. Rockers
army has been reinforced from the Pc
ninsula, and is on the move. A large
part of it marched on the flank of Lee,
between him and Washington, and oc-
cupied Warrenton when the rebel ar
my lay at Culpepper. In this move
ment Hooker has shorter lines to pass
over than Lee, and unless he is thor
oughly incompetent, which nobody be-
lieves, he will place that General in a
position in which we are likely to hear
of the last Of his exploits.
Should the rebel army succeed in
entering Pennsylvania, in large force,
we are confident that they will never
leave it except as paroled prisoners
The yeomanry of Pennsylvania, Ohio
and New York, with gallant volun-
teers from other States, will bar their
progress into the interior, while the
army Of the Potomac falls upon their
rear with crushing weight A wall of
fire will encircle the rebel army on all
sides.
As Pittsburg may be one of the cit
les aimed at, Government officers are
there planning defences for the place.
Between three and four thousand men
are now at work there constructing
Notifications. The enemy's advance
will be impeded in every conceivable
way. Both the Pennsylvania and the
Northern Central Railroads have con-
structed defensive works to command
their bridges at Rockville, Perrysville,
and other points. Energetic measures
have also been taken to fortify the
Cumberland valley. Extensive breast
works are being erected for the protec-
ton of the minute men rallying for
the defence Of their homes, and all the
appliances Of engineering science and
skill are to be employed to oppose the
rebels. We cannot believe this Sec
ond invasion will result as favorably
for the enemy as the first.

The Rebel Pirates

The rebel pirates are still busy
with the fishermen on the New Eng
land coast, and fresh acts Of outrage
and wanton destruction are reported.
The shippers and crews who see their
property and shares thus sacrificed,
will treasure up wrath against the day
Of vengcance on the traitors, whose
time of punishment will surely come.
The pirate Tacony has made great
havoc among the fishing vessels. One
schooner, arrived at Chatham on Tues.
day, reports seeing the schooner Flor
ence OF Chatham light with $50 pris-
oners, put aboard by the Tacony.
The pirate had destroyed six schooncrs
and three ships. all belonging to Glou-
cester. Two of the ships were the
Saratoga and the Paraguay. On We'd
nesday, schooner arrived at New
port, r. l.. which had that day spoken
the Western Light with deck load
Of men put on board by the Tacony
The Captain reports that four other
vessels had preceded him to New
York loaded with men from the des-
troyed fishermen. He says the pirate
had destroyed upward of a dozen sail
of vessels OH the 23d and Gath, all
fishermen, which he fell in with back
of Martha's Vineyard. taking every
thing Of value from them, and then
setting them on fire. There are also
reports by way of Boston and New
Bedford Of similar destruction, but
probably the same vessels are meant.
1t seems that the pirate made raid
upon large feet of fishing schooners
of Chatham, Mass.

THE SOLDIERS FAREWELL.


Farewell, mother, am going
Far from thee to meet the foe,
And / know thy heart Is yarning

Let me weep upon thy bosom,
Twill not shame my manhood now,
Oh, my mother, Heaven bless thee,
Guard her footsteps, Father, Thou.
Farewell, father, thou art gazing
Sadly on thine own first born
Eorcly thy lone bosom wisteth,
That 60 at early morn:
But thou wouldst not recall me,
Tho the field with death is rife,
For our precious cause Is holy,
Tho IL calls for my glad life.
Farewell, brother, / must leave thee,
To fight my country's battles now,
Safely guard our loved ones, brother,
Iftheir hearts in grief shall bow.
In that life to which I hasten,
There is death on every hand,
But let not thy heart be troubled,
We shall be fearless band.
Farewell, darling. gentle sister, ..
Let thy heart on God be stayed,
Tho we now in grief must sever,
Be not doubling or dismaycd.
Smile upon me now, my sister,
Bid me on my way "God speed"
And when return to greet thee,
l will weave proud vict'ry's need.
Farewell, loved one, early chosen,
Thou wilt miss me from thy side,
And / grieve SO soon to leave thee,
But thou art soldiers bride,
And know thou wilt be hopeful,
Praying for the absent one.
Farewell for while. We loved ones,

Yesterday Judge Lowe of Keokuk,
Iowa, had an interview with General
Grant, and in reply to question when
Vicksburg would be taken, the Gen
eral replied l can take it any hour;
but in making an immediate attack
would sacrifice the lives Of many
valuable men, whereas there is not,
in my estimation, any occasion for
such sacrifice. The enemy are com.
pletely surrounded. and are short Of
both provisions and ammunition. They
are losing from eighty to one hundred

at all apprehensive of the results con.

Rebel Pirates at Portland, Maine.

The revenue cutter Caleb Cushing
was cut out of Portland harbor,
Maine, on the night of the 25th ult.
by rebel pirates but. being pursued
down the harbor by two armed steam
ers, the rebels took to their boats and
shortly afterwards the Cushing blew
up with tremendous explosion. The
rebels came in schooner called the
Archer. They were twenty-three in
number and have all been captured.
The Archer camo in at night and
anchored below, intending to burn
two gunboats now building in Port
land, and cut out the revenue cutters
Cushing and Forest City. This they
found themselves very much troub.
led to do, but at 3 O'Clock in the morn
ing. they boarded the Cushing quietly,
and seized small portion of her crew
aboard, put them in irons and made
their way out of the harbor through
Huzzie Sound.
After passing the Forts, Capt. Lis

which was making her way to the
eastward, as rapidly as the light breeze
would permit. Captain Liscomb cap
