PRACTICAL TREAsoN.-Ali the rebel
newspapers IN the South declare emphat.
caliy that the South will consent to peace
on no terms but disuuion and a recognition
OF the Southern Confederacy. And yet
their Northern allies are canorou, for u
cessation Of hostilities, and an amicable ar
rangcment "for restoration" Could any
thing be more preposterous? Nay, could
anything be more treasunabie? What the
rebels now most need, and what will only
save them from being utterly crushed, is
time to recuperate their weakened forces
and bankrupt treasury. These Northern
allies know this aud hence their disgracetul
treasonable conduct.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 27


INDIANAPOLIS, March 27
Robert Gay, OF company ID, list regiment
lndiana volunteers, who was convicted by
court martial, in this city some time since.
OF desertion to the enemy, taking the oath
OF allegiance to tho Southern Confederacy,
and returning here as q spy, was shot about
10 clork this afternoon, near the Burnside
Rairacks. Two men were slectcd by loi
from each company in the list making
twenty in all Their guns were loaded by n
Lieutenant, one half with blank cartridges,
and one half with MIME balls. The rnns
were then handed 10 the men without their
knowing which was loaded with ball or
blank cartridges. The prisoner was brought
out, and made few remarks acknowledging
his guilt, but said he did it with no criminal
intent, and only for the purpose ofenlbiing
hun to get out oi the army Tie supposed
ne Was to be shot as an example, and ex
horted his fellow soldiers to stand hy the
Government aud not to follow in his foot
steps, but to profit by his tate. ii. said
that lie was not prepared to DE, and il is
thought that he expected to be pardoned
up TO the last moment. He was biindiold-
ed, aud sat down upon his cofiin, when, at
u signal from the Lieutenant, the soldiers
fired, and Gay fell dead, eight balls having
lodged IN his breast, any one of which would
have killed him instantly. He enlisted in
Clay county in this State, and served as
hospital steward OF his regiment up to the
time OF the battle of Richmond, KY, from
which place he deserted to Gen Bragg. He
has no friends in this country.

= The Cincinnati Enquirer, after being the
cause as much as in it lay, of the recent
trouble in Noble county, Ohio, by advising
resistance to the legal acts Of the Govern

constituted authorities and redress of all
grievances through the ballot-box." !" Sound
doctrine, aud reminding us very much of a
similar change Of tone on tho part Of the
Washington Examiner, when resistance
was threatened on Cross Greek. 1t is a
