the most vigorous measures were in progress to re-
sist the apprehended attack, but It seems that the
capture Of the SPY last night waz Of more import

believed. He WIS taken in snspicious locality,
aud at once owned his mission. On being pressed
he gave tul Information relative to the poslon Of
his friends, stating that there WIS large force Of
them Mt Windsor, IN Shelby county. about eight
miles west OF this place, on the Terre uaute and
Alton Railroad, and also at copalrn's Mills, few

instances as high a. fifteen hundred
Yesterday 1t Is now positively known the IN
susgents near Windsor took a yote in
their camp aud unanimously received
with much enthueiaam to move at once on

and after much hesitation the whole movement
was given up.
The copperhead party from Seoga, twelve miles

military force the town has resumed It's usual

There IL no doubt that the rebels hayc. dis

Colonel 0nkeE, Assistant Provost Marshal Gen.

force to look up the malcontents In that region.
The scare has begun to fall upon the Copperheads,
uho zee they hare gone too far.
The 18th lndiana, ordered here from Indianapolis,
have left for caro, route for New Orleans, there
being IN adequate force here without them. The
list Illinois, Colonel Pugh, who were ordered here
by Telegraph from Camp Butler, have gone into
barracks, and will constitute tie ''garrison'' for

The Coppesheads at the very outset Of the dis

the design of preventing MD being summoned from
Indiana, but IN this they failed. Help enough has
been received from all quarters utterly to COW the
