Brought In.

After the riot in Danville last Satur-
day, news was brought to this city that
the *. g. C.'s were mastering in force in
Hendricks county, and serious appre-
hension was felt that bloody struggle
would occur between them and the law
abiding citizens, if prompt measures
were not taken to prevent it Gen. Car
rington at once sent out fifty cavalry and
one hundred infantry of the 63d regiment
to preserve the peace. The cavalry went
to Danville on horseback, the infantry by
aDdus aa t. tree SqFs5SR9sFF SsR0GF on onay @ mornng %
and were welcomed by the same noble
girl who prevented company of the
X. G. Cs from pulling down the ma
tional flag the other day, Miss Odell,
who came out with light and waved
the flag she had so courageously defend
ed, in honor of the soldiers and their
mission. We may notice here that, as
the battalion returned yesterday, they
stopped and gave three rousing cheers
for the young lady. From Cartersburg
the infantry went up to Danville, where
the cavalry had arrived few minutes
before There they learned that though
large body of the K G. C.'s had been
collected at one time, and danger was
feared from their lawless movements,
yet they had dispersed on the arrival Of
the soldiers The leading spirits in the
riot of Saturday were then arrested and
brought to this city, where they arrived
Yesterday about noon. The cavalry re-
mained at Danville The names of the
men arrested are Frederick Duzan, j ohm
K Edwards, Anderson Hedge, Geo. Tea
ger, Noah Bateman, Andrew Clifton, and
John Ramsey. Two of them were wound
ed in the riot on Saturday, one in the
hand and one in the leg, but not seri-
ousIy. One of them was only arrested
after hot chase of half mile, which
he ended by running into a house and
hiding under the bed Several of them
cried, and freely expressed their regrets
that they had been led to join the
X G. C's. They declared that they had
been misled and deceived, and would
abandon the infamous order at once
Two or three of them made affidavit be-
fore Mr. Commissioner Davis yesterday
afternoon, and revealed fully all its Sc
crets. Those affidavits will be published
soon, and we commend them to the pray

the consequences Thousands are silent
ly coming over every day to just per-
ception of the issues of this great crisis.
The surface movements NAV be doubtful
aud fiuctuating, but the undercurrent is
all one way. When, in the history of our
country, have the people ever failed to
sustain IN the end the right measure and
the just man? Let the government then,
strike home with all its wisdom and ali
its vigor, and the country will surely up
hold it.

THE ARMY OF VICKBURG.-Lieutenant-G Gener-
al Pemberton has issued an order to the paroled
army of Vfeksburg, of which the following is an
extract g
The President has entrusted to my discretion
the granting Of furlonghs to this army. Never
did the country require the services Of her defen-
ders more than at this time. 1t was the Presi-
dents most anxious desirc that this army, which
has distinguished itself by gallantry and endu-
rance of hardships almost without parallel in de-
fence of the most important point in the Confcd-
eracy, should be kept together, and, by an imme-
diate exchange, meet and defeat the enemy upon
an equal field. Many Of yod have been long ABB
sent from your homes, and fully synpathize with
you in your natural desire to see thoso you best
love. The President has yielded to my appliea-
tion, aud you are permitted TO visit your homes
for the longest period the country can possibly
dispefse with your services Some Of you win re-
main at bome longer and some a less time. I
give each and all Of you, who desire il, leave Of
absence for thirty days from the date Of the pro-
mitigation of this order. confidently hope that
not one of the army Of Vicksburg win be found
absent from his post at the expiration Of this period

There. is a number Of deeply interesting
measures to come before the Legislature at its
sitting in the present month, among the most
important of which are the tax-bill, and the
bill for the ssregulaion ofgthe ,distillation of
whiskey. As to the Tax Bill, it is hardly ne
cessary for us to remind our Legislators that
the only certain and really honest way to se-
cure, -onsa firm basis, the credit of the State,
isto tsxNthc property of the State in proper
ton to its actualwants; and as this is a time
when the publicwants and real necessities
are large beyond all former precedent, the tax
es must be adequate to these necessities. 1t
is unwise and dangerous TO rely solely or main
iy upon borrowing for excessive debt is far
more depressing and discouraging to people
than excessive taxation; as the former tends to
the generalization of a people, while the latter,
though there may be- some apparent discon-
tent,enconrages to virtuous and patriotic feel
ingsl sland actions. The people; we think, fully
expect heavy taxes, and arc prepared to pay
them; they are not ignorant Of the magnitude
and Importance of theorists in which we are
involved, of the Immense pecuniary sac
ri6ces required tdsustain us in it, and hence
cannot nor will not complain at heavy and
unusual taxation. g.
Thescontracts for the distillation Of whiskey
cannot be too carefully guarded. We suppose
these contracts are public necessity and
hence offer no complaints to their being given
ont, but the temptation to sell to outsiders
must be very grcatAIthe government price
being one dollar and fifty cents, while to out
siders it is worth any amount asked for it, from
fifteen to twenty dollars per gallon. We have
no charges to prefer against any contractor Of
our acquaintance, but it does seem little
strange that the contracts of last summer should
be 50 very tardy in being filed 1t seems to
us that the Legislature should limit the fill.

will be asked to increase the price for distilla

We deem It hardly necessary to say in thi
connection, what every one knows, that whe
cornswas sold at fifty cents per bushel tha
whiskey was a drug at thirty-Rye to forty cent
per gallon. The calculations was, that on
busbel d corn would make two gallons Of goo roo
proof whiskey, and we suppose it would do tn
same nov. These with many other considers
tionswhich will no doubt suggest themselye
to the honorable Legislature, will show th
necessity Of careful legislation on this matter
