AN EDITOR MOBBED BY BUTTERNUTs.-
Our citizens are cognizant of the fact that
DIR. Ray, of Cumberland, in this county,
and formerly editor of the Indiandt Farmer,
was attacked by some butternut despera-
| does, some two weeks ago, and driven from
his home. The men, Ferrell. Metzger and
| WATSON, were indicted for assault and bat
terry with intent to kill. Two deserters.
Rhodes and Layton, We're also implicated
| in the affair, and one indicted. Since their
| attack on DR.. Ray, they have made such
| outrageous threats against the citizens
that they are afraid to open their mouths,
as their lives were in danger. Day before
yesterday Deputy Sheriff Cramer arrested
WATSON here in the city, and yesterday he
went to Cumberland to arrest the others
They obtained information of the officers
arrival, and Immediately after, on the ap-
pearance Of the Deputy Sheriff and two
men who were with him, took to their
heels. The Deputy then returned and
called on Gen. Darlington for assistance
The General gave him squad Of men, un-
der the command of Sergeant Browning,
Of Company M, Sd cavalry. They all pro-
ceeded to Cumberland last night, mount
ed, and surrounded the hotel kept by
Metzger, and the grocery attached, kept
by the Ferrels.
The Deputy Sheriff, who was assisted by
policeman Wilkins and Messrs. Powers.
Redstone and Adams, demanded entrance
to the hotel and searced it thoroughly but
unsuccessfully, for Metzger. He then went
to the door of the grocery, knocked, and
told them who he was and what he came
for. They refused to open the door, or even
to reply, when he begged them to peacea-
bly, permit him to enter, saying, "If you
don't shall be compelled to force an en-
trance They still refusing, he broke
open the door. The men then opened fire
on the Sheriff and his party from behind
the door, with revolvers. The Sheriff and
Sergeant and three men, stepped into the
doorway, exposing themselves to the full
fire of the three villains. They had to de-
liver their fire through the door; one shot
took effect in the mouth of Andrew Terrell,
breaking his jaw. They cried out, eve
party went in to take them. One of the
Ferrells then drew his knife on soldier,
who placed his pistol on FerrelPs breast,
and threatened to blow his heart out if he
did not lower his knife. Old man Ferrell
refused to give up his pistol till forced by
the fist of policeman wilkins to do so.-
The old man and his two sons, J. B. and J.
X. Terrell, were then taken and lodged in
Jail, when the wounded man had his
wound dressed, which has proved to be a
serious one Indianapolis Gazette.

HOMESTEAD LAw-IMPORTANT DECIs-
IoN.-rhe Supreme Court on the last day
of the recent term in this city announced an
important decision under the Homestead
Law, They decided that Judgment
against the owner of the homestead was
no lien against the homestead and conse--
ouently the owner could sell or mortgage
the homestead unaffectedby the Judgment
against him. This is an important decis-
ion on a much vexed subject. Under the
other view, that judgments were liens, tho
value of the homestead exemptions was
much impaired and the homestead was in
some sort made prison, because the par
ty could not sell it if he had judgments
against him. But under the liberal view
just taken by the Supreme Court the party
can sell and the purchaser will get a good
title and one which is free from Judgment
liens. And the owner, if he finds it to his
interest to change his homestead can do SO.

kind OF democracy you mean.
The speaker then referred to the strength
of the country; not the numbers and arms,
but the intelligence, the virtue, the patriot
ism, the courage, the determination OF its
citizens.
He then showed the necessity of enforcing
the lawsof the country. Hesaid we should
never, never save the Government till we
er the next thirty days would determine it;
but the time is coming, sooner or later,
when the Government must show it's pow
er. The Democrats and Republicans must
come out and show their hands. The time
is coming when every man will be sifted
and tried as in the fire. We have got along
long enough with two-faced men. We
have got to sustain the Government. The
laws must be carried out. And you may

EXPORTS AND IMPoRTs.--It is one of the
anomalies of our condition of civil war tina.
our foreign commerce is unusually prosper
ons, even with the draw back Of the dopre-
cations of the rebel steamers. The exports
from New York to foreign Forts, during
ten months Of the current fiscal year amour
led in value to S206.317,200, against about
$I2e, 000,O in the corresponding pei iod
of two preceding years. The imports thus
far this year, amount to $155,613,1OO,
against $ll7,385, 400 in 1862, and $780,
1885, 200, in 1861. So we have exported
at New York about fifty millions more
than we hare imported. The revenue from
customs at New York has been $43,421,-
COS against $26,8l4,182 in 1862, and
$26, 1853, TAO in 1861. In Philadelphia,
Boston and other ports a corresponding i'm
provement is noticed, and by the 1st of
July, when the fiscal year will come 20 a
close, the balance of trade between Europe
and this country will be found to be very
largely in our favor.
