ARE VIZ Is DAxOgR ITO see the quiet
and utter indifference that exists in our
city, the every day, matter-offaet manner
with which business men pursue their
calling, oRe would suppose that peace
reigned in all our borders. Certainly
an utter stranger, visiting our city,
would not suppose that 900 armed reb-
els and guerrilla thieves are eneamped
within one days march Of our city, with
nothing between them and us but river
fordable at half dozen places Yet
such is the fact--a fact sufficiently start
ling, one would think, to awake the most
callous, and cause anxiety in the heart
Of the most Indifferent.
We have il, from the most reliable
authority, that Colonel or Brigade. Gen
eral Adam johnson, aud Colonel 5ypert,
have now encamped, in Union county,
from 700 TO 300 men, finely armed and
equipped, aud we'll mounted There is
also, in Crittenden county, company Of
l25 men, under command Of one Glen.
ents, who we're expected in Union coun-
ty yesterday, and another force of 200
or upwards, with two pieces Of artillery,
under command Of Colonel Woodward,
was daily expected to join johnson.
On Sunday last johnson visited Tn
iontown and levied on 5000 bushels Of
corn in the cribs Of Muuehoff distil-
lery, 1000 bushels Of which were hauled
off. Other Union men we're robbed Of
all manner Of goods Of use to the rebels
Now does any sane man suppose that
these rebel forces are concentrated there
for a peaceful purpose? or simply to To-
rage on that already half desoIated re-
gion2 We are no alarmist We have
never spoken Of danger but where dan
ger existed, and danger which was only
warded of by the preparation Of our
people, but we now warn our merchants
and property our civil and mill
tary authorities that there is imminent
danger, aud il proper and immediate
preparations are not made 10 avert it,
that we may within n week expect the
fate that befell Chambersburg few days
ago
The river, as the rebels well know,
and as they have been heard to say, is
fordabe in several places between here
and the mouth Of the Wabash and
at points below, and our readers
can readily realize the damage that
could be done by a raid with |, 900 men,
unless an organized force be prepared
to meet and drive them back These
rebel forces are MS well acquainted with
our condition as We ars ourselves. They
have their friends here, their spies, who
keep them daily advised of passing
events Fff. rssItI
Two days before the negro troops
reached Henderson !. was known In the
guerrilla camp that they were coming
and exactly in what number Now
shall we sleep on in fancied security
Shall we hug the delusive fancy that
these guerrillas are. a myth until oui
beautiful city is laid in ashes2
