/ STARTLING REPORTS FROM, LEAy ENWORTH

BURNED.-There were several startling
reports in circulation in the city yester-
day, that a rebel raid had been made
from Kentucky across the Ohio river
into Indiana. A gentleman arriving
from down the river states, that, on
Saturday, a rebel force, estimated at
FIVE hundred men, crossed the river
below Bradenburg, captured the village
of LeavenwOrth, on the Indiana side,
and, applying the torch to the buildings,
burned the town to the ground. After
committing this barbarous act the
raiders started ON a foIay through the
border counties of Indiana 1t is not
known who WAS in command of the
rebels The details of the operation
are 80 meagre, and appear SO contra
dictory, that it is hard to get ut the
truth of the story. Another report in
relation to the affair was circulated. 1t
was claimed that the people of Leayen-
worth had banded themselves together
to resist the draft, an afray had
occurred, and in the wild excitement
of heated passion, the town was fired
and destroyed. We give the reports as
we heard them, scarcely knowing which
10 place the most confidence in. We
hope 10 arrive at the truth of the story
to-day. There is no doubt that seri-
