"A HAPPY- CBANGE.-A ;p2iyate letter
sfrona Terre Haute speaks in glowing
terms of the happy change that has ia
ken place since .the Government Of the
city has passed from under the control
Vsf tie copperheads, 80
Boys are prohibited to be prowling
thestreets after nine O'Clock at night,
fights and shooting affairs on the streets
have ceased, and certain dens of infamy
which, during the late administration
Haunted themselves, openly, the presld-
ing. nymphs dashing through the streets
in fine carriages, and boasting of their
immunity from arrest because the city
authorities were their protectors, have
already been closed and their inmates
driven from the city. Order, peace and
quiet reign supreme. This is indeed a
/ glorious change, and is another evidence
that the rule Of the copperheads every
where should become extinct.

The Federal Raid.

We do not suppose there is Mississip-
plan, worthy OF the name, within the limits
of the State who does not feel chagrin-
ed and mortified at the successful raid of
Col Grierson, travelling, as he has al
most the entire length of the State from
North to South, and that too, without
having a gun fired or snapped at him.
But there is nothing to lie gained by bit
ing our lips, or grieving over what has
transpired. Let US profit by experience,
and improve the future We have often
- Al --l-- &c nhaats IN q
once it is his own fault, but if he cheats
me second time it is my own fault"
And so it will be with US if we permit
the enemy to repeat this daring adven-
ture. We have been somewhat inclined
to believe that this party of Col. Grier-
sons tuas only a pioneer force, destined
to familiarize themselves with the roads,
the condition of the country, &C., in Or
der that they may be enabled to pilot
still larger force through the State.
And the accumulation of troops at Cor
inth, as we are advised, seems to favor
this idea. 1t, therefore, behooves the
people of the State to be on the alert,
and hold themselves in readiness Cav
airy companies should be organized in
every part of the country, prepared to
move at a moments warning.
Unless the enemy are checked in these
expeditions, the State wiU be orerrun
and hopelessly suTugated, before the
close of summer We have received fair
warning, and if we do not improve the
time and opportunity afforded US, we can
have no one to, blame but ourselves. 81,

sufficient number oftransports are below
Vicksburg to transport Gen. Banks en-

Gen. Joe. Johnston seems to have ar

take command of the troops there and
get handsomely whipped, and he is now
reported to have retreated in a northern
direction with the intention of efecting
junction with the Vicksburg forces
We shonld not be surprised now to hear
that he had evacuated Vicksburg and
fallen back to Yazoo City. That, how
ever, would hardly save him, for General
Grant could Immediately advance and
flank his position on either side, cut off
his communications and compel sur
