meeting in Brown county. Indiana, was
broken up yesterday by a party of the
Knights of the Golden Circle, under tie
leadership of Lewis Prosser, member OF the
Legislature. Prosser and man named Say
der came armed with rifles and revolvers. and
threatened to shoot two Sergeants the e
for arresting soldiers. Sergeant Daniels
took Prosser's gnn from him when the It I
drew pistol and shot Daniels dead. Prosser
in turn was snot and wounded severely by
Captain Cummings, who was addressing the
meeting. Sayder also fired at the other
Sergeant but missed him. Savder has been
arrested and brought here Sufficient force
has been sent by the military authorities 10

Another difficulty occurred at Danville,

Knights of the Golden Circle and Union
men, in which five persons were wounded
one mortally.
The General Commanding has issued an
address, declaring the Knights of the Golden
Circle to be public enemies and to be dealt
with as such. He also cautions people
against the use of butternut and copperhead
badges.

known to exist in large quantities IN different
parts of the country Even if the surplus
be less than believed, is it not bitter and
humiliating reflection that those who remain
at home, secure from hardship and protected
from danger, should be in the ENJOYMENT of
abundance, and that their slaves also should
have supply of food. while their sons, bro
theirs, husbands and fathers are stnted of
the rations on which their health and etiicier-
cy depend?'
jeff u. is by no means as sure of a pros
porous end of the Southern Confederacy as
he was two years ago. He acknowledges
that the rebels "are still confronted by pow
erful armies and threatened by numerous
fleets" and thinks the Government that con-
trolls them "wll use is utmost energy TO
avert this impending doom, SO fully merted
by the atrocities it has committed, the saw
age barbarities which it has encouraged, and
the browning attempt to excite ssrvile pop
ulation to the massacre of our wives, cur
daughters, and our helpless children" He
believes, however that with concerted, per-
sistent aud well-directed effort, there seems
little reason to douJt that We shall maintain
the sovereignty and independence Of the
Confederate States and transmit to our pos
terity the heritage bequea;hed to us by our
fathers"
