INDIANAPOLIS, July 9.
Dispatches from prominent citizens on
the border, state that Morgan has succeed
ed in crossing the greater portion Of his
force into Indiana, and they are reported
to be marching en- New Albany and Jeffer-
sonVille, where tremendous quantities Of
Government stores are located. He is re-
ported 10 have from four to eight thousand
cavalry and sixteen pieces of artillery.
Of long range artillery, he has two pieces
mounted on the steamer Alice Dean, which
is patrOlling the Ohio between Brsnden-
burg Kentucky, and CsneltOn, Indiana.
He also has two guns mounted on the
river bank at Brrndenburg which
commands the river above and below.
The Governor has placed the cOun-
ties bordering upon the river under mar
tial Law, and has ordered out all the mill
tia. Other important movements are on
foot which it would not be proper to dis
close.
A regiment has been organized, armed
and equipped in this city.since last night.
General Darlington has been ordered by
the War Department to report to Governor
Morton for special duty and will proceed
to vrss-i4A Ala Indiana legion in every
part of the State. Captain John H. Far
quhar Of the 18th regulars has also been
ordered to report to the Governor for SINH
lar duty, and has been commissioned as
Brigadier General in the legion.
Ill P. Morgan is still in the neigh
bOrhOOd of COrydon and has not advanced
any further in the direction Of New AL
bany. The indications are that he is pre-
pairing for defensive rather than offensive
operations, but may turn up in some un-
expected quarter tomorrow morning. A
slight skirmish occurred at Corydon, in
which two citizens were killed. There is
considerable excitement in all parts Of the
State, and the Governor is constantly re-
ceiving and accepting offers Of companies
to drive the invader from our borders.
The Gazette editorially says:
General Burnside all this time is not
idle. A larger force of cavalry than Nor
gan took with him, crossed the Ohio yes
terday following him up, and it was ex-
pected would Overtske him during last
night. The movements of infantry regi-
ments and artillery as well as the gun
boats, are progressing satisfactorily, but
Of course we are not at liberty to give any
particulars at present, but this much we
can say, that from information in our pos
session they are sufficient if their COM
manders are awake to do their duty, to
capture Morgan and his whole bsnd, which
is known to be over five thousand men and

Destructive CoNFLAGRATIoE.-The 0ber-

thunder storm yesterday about Il O'Clock,
the barn of DR.. Dascomb, on South Professor
Street, was struck by lightning aud consumed
before any of the Fire Department could
reach the spot. The flames speedily cOmmu-
nicated to the house, and it was only by the
most strenuous efforts of the Firemen, as
sisted by the citizens, that the frame Of this
building was saved. Most of the furniture
was removed, in greatly damaged condi-
tion. We understand that an insurance Of
81 800 on the buildings, and 5000 on the fur
niture had been effected.

tain Miller of the sth has reached sandusky

reports that the 9th did its duty manfully.
The sandusky Register says:
g They lost sadly, coming out of the fight
with less than half Of their little fragment of
a regiment-every man of which is a hero
ht for duty. They were instrumental in cap
turing nearly l 800 rebels, in conjunction
with some men of the I1th Corps, during the
progress of the battles. Captain Gregg was
unwounded. We are without any of the de-
tails which Captain Miller could doubtless
give. He was suffering quite severely from
the effects of his wound, bat we trust, now he
is at home, he will speedily recover

grand charge of that day, only los came out

A FIGHT WITH STUART.

WASHINGTON, July ..
From letters recently received here it appcrs
that on Friday last il was learned by General
Meade that General Stuart was preparing to make
one Of his raids on our rear, to cut of our
trains and prevent communication with BaltI-
more and Washington. General Gregg, with his
cavalry division, was ordered to advance from
our extreme right and intercept him, taxing two
brigades and a battery. He proceeded to accom-
plish his mission and met Stuart about two miles
from our lines already on his way ty execute his
designs. General Gregg charger the rebels and
was at first repulsed. He rallied his men and
again charged, routing Stuart force who LETT his
dead and wounded on the field in their hasty re-
erest. Among the killed we're two rebel Majors
Our loss was from soto 40 killed and no wound
ed.
Another letter from head quarters says Gener-
al Mead's movements are energetic and he may
decide to cross the river in pursuit Ofthe rebels
should they escape from this side.
The rebels save sent over the river cattle
horses, and wagons loaded with plunder, &c.

CLEVELAND, July 4th, 1868. J
The Letter Carriers recently appointed to
deliver Letters free of expense, agreeabIy
to the New Post Office Laws, experience
great difficulty in ascertaining the residence
of parties to whom letters are addressed,
owing to the fact that the number and name
of the street are not written on the letters to
be delivered, and in many cases when writ
ten on, they cannot find any number on the
house, intended to be designated. If people
wishing to have their letters delivered at their
doors free Of expense, twice day, will take
pains to instruct their correspondents to
write on their letters, in addition to the Post
Once address, the street and number of the
party to whom the letter is directed, they
will greatly aid the Letter Carriers in deliv-
ering their letters promptly and with GER
tainty.
If people living in houses not having any
numbers on them, will see that the numbers

flowing to the houses not being numbered
and the letters not having the street and num-
Der on them. the Letter Carriers should fail
to make good show of the number Of let

have to be abandoned as far as this city is
concerned. The Letter Carriers will do the
best they can in making diligent inquiries in
order to find out where people live, but it
cannot be expected they can find where every
body lives, if the above suggestions are not
fully carried out. E. COWLES, P. NJ.

BURaLARY.-Last night the store of L.
P. Sherwood was broken into and robbed Of
lot Of Postage Stamps, valued at about
Eve dollars. The thief succeeded in making
his way by breaking out one of the pains of
glass, and went to the back part of the store
and helped himself to the stamps. The
Clerks were sleeping in the store, in room
above, but did not get down in time to catch
the thief. From the amount ef blood seen
on the floor, it was judged that his thiefship
cut himself while breaking the pains Of
glass. Good enough for him.
