Mob InstIgat6fs.

For some days past, We have been
aware that emissaries from Kentucky
have been operating in the river eoun-
ties Of this State, to incite mobs and
riots, that the negroes now peacefully at
work in those counties may be driven
back into Kentucky to their former mas-
ters, or sold for Jail fees to enrich new
ones The threats of mobs in Warrick
county are about the FIRST open manifes-
tation of the workings of this intended
insurrection. Itis hardly necessary to
add, that the men in Indiana who are
CO operating in this work Of murder,
(for murder it win prove, if carried out
to the extreme designed by its anthors
and instigators), have been and are act@ /,
members of the treasonable orgsniza
tions whose principal Representatives,
Bowles, Milligan and Horsey, are to-day
at work in the Ohio Penitentiary. Back
of these are many sneaking Copper
heads, who are inciting tie mob by every
means in their power, to its work Of in
justice, outrage and death, while they
are too cowardly to- take an active part
in it themselves. They pursued SINH
lar course in 1862, in the secret socie-
ties of which we have spoken, many Of
them being members Of the same. With
this latter class the editor of the Boon
vile Democrat arrays himself, if the in
csndiary articles which have recently
appeared in his paper are any evidence
of his opinions and intentions.
1t will be remembered by all who will
take the trouble to reflect, that the tao
ties adopted BY the Copperheads in 1862
when everything looked dark and al
most hopeless, and the most sanguine
patriots began to despair Of the success
of the Goyernment-was to send emissa'
ries and write letters to the soldiers ii
the army, in order to produce discon'
tent, desertion, and mutiny. 10 fev
instances, success crowned the efforts o
the sneakipg traitors, and some brave
boys were induced to dishonor thei
Gag and Disgrace themselves by desert
ing the cause they hsd sworn to support
But, generally, the boys in blue wer'
uncorrupted and incorruptibls. The.
treated the base propositions of thei
cowardly neighbors, who remained a
home to make money while they tough
and died, with scorn and contempt
The soldiers were outspoken in their de
testation of the wretches who sough
thus to dishonor them, the flag the
loved, and the Government they desire
to perpetuate. 81
, We learn from sources we know to b
reliable that the same men who were az
tive in persuading the soldiers to desc
their flag in 1862, are now at work inst
eating returned soldiers to head laot
against the helpless creatures from Kel
lucky who are 80 unfortunate as to hay
gone into Warrick County, for the pu
pose of honestly earning livelihoo
J. Emissaries have been sent to the SO
diers at Louisville for the purpose of il
flaming their minds by artful lies ar
misrepresentation, in order to get the
. pledged to violation of the very Law
- they have sworn to uphold and ha'
fought to preserve. We regret to lear
=. that, in some instances, these agents
riot and murder have been successful
their mission-as they in some instanc
y were in l862-and that few Of the q
liant men now being mustered out ha
K, agreed to do the very thing they ha
been fighting rebels for doing-viols
the laws of the land. We trust, no
> ever, but few have committed themselv
to the infamous schemes of the rel
S sympathizers who prayed their destrV
= ton while they were engaged in cru'
ing out rebellion in the far South-sy
i, pathizers whose countenances glow
rs. with JOY at every Union defeat, a
49, elongated with sorroN over every Uni
aw victory.
