the Trains IT Indian
apollo.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial gives the following account
of the disarming of the Copperheads who
fred from the railroad trains on starting
from Indianapolis on the evening Of the
Goth:
The attempt TO stop two or three long
trains Of cars filed with armed men, who
were banging away With their pistols, was
rather . daring exploit, and quite novel
in character. but it was handsomely ac-
complished. After the Lafayette asd
Terre Hautc trains had departed. the
men BY hundreds disshsrging their
pistols, mostly in the air. Gen Haskell
thought he would teach them lesson
q not TO shout before they got out Of the
woods quickly sent cannon, we'll
manned, and body Of infantry, to the
track Of the Central Road, some squares
out from the depot, and - the train APP
preached and the engineer and conductor
saw the demonstrations before them, they
If cosrse checked up. Immediately the
train was backed down TO convenient
place, where policeman demanded Of
each individual . surrender Of bis shoot
ing-irons, on pain of being carried before
the Mayor and fined for carrying conceal
ed weapons. Whoever did not deliver
his weapon u once, was searched.
This operation was repeated on the
Peru and the Cincinnati trains. each one
of which turned out shout two hundred
pistols. In the latter train seven 70
, yolvers were found sscreted on one NO
man, who bad received them from th,
men, thinking she would not be searched
Others, rather than deliver them up

. of the men protested against the proceed
ing, and declared they might ~ veil tax,

too. Was the opinion Of those who wen
on the trains this morning. They though
some one would have to pay for the pi,
tolls; but during . ride Of . hundre
miles to-day on one of the roads, in tn
course of which some Of those who wer
. on the trains disarmed were met, not on
