"Armed Treason in Indiun." The telegiaphic dispatches to the Associated Pless from this city in reference to the Brown county troubles, are headed "armed tre ison in Indiana." The tenor and spirit of these reports are to create the impression upon the country that there is imminent danger of armed rebellion in Indiana against the authorities of the Federal and State Governments. What good motive can there be for these exaggerated and untruthful statements in reference to some local troubles arising from personal dilUculties and collisions, and which may, in fact, have happened under other circumstances and at different times? VVe publish, this morning, several statements from respectable persons, members of adverse political parties, who bear common testimony that the unfortunate affair which resulted in the death of Sergeant Daniels, was unpremeditated, arid that there has been no public gathering of armed forces in that county to offer any resistance to civil, or military authorities, but that a force was called out by a civil officer to preserve the peace and to enforce the law. All the laws of the country can be enforced in Brown county, by the civil authorities, without a shadow of opposition. The Democracy of Brown county are largely in the ascendant, and no people are more patriotic and faithful to the Government. For the Mexican war Brown county raised more troops in pro portion to its population than any other in the State, and for the present war it has raised her full quota of '.roops. Why then should the people of Brown county and the people of Indiana be insulted by telegraphic reports directly charging that thevare unfaithful to the Government? We cannot imagine any good reason. There is a class of people, intensely radical Republicans, who seem desirous of precipitating upon the North civil war. or to create the impression that uch a result is to be apprehended, apparently for the purpose of forcing upon the country a despotic military rule. So far as the conservative citizens of Indiana are concerned there will be no resistance, armed or otherwise, to the lawful authority of the Government. If there should be any such demonstration it will come from those who profess to be the peculiar friends nnl supporters of the Administration. There may be some danger from that source, but there is none from any other. We understand that General Bcknside, when here the other day, stated to the effect that he saw no evidence of any purpose in Indiana loop pose the Government in the rightful exercise of its power to resist law. The outbreaks which have occurred he regarded as arising from person al difficulties, liable to occur at any time, and not as growing nut of hostility to the Government. He could not see any necessity for military rule, and that there was no doubt but the civil authority was ample to preserve public order and to see that the laws be faithfully executed This is a sensible view of tfye matter, and if the military commandants would be governed by it in the administration of their tlutres, the apprehension in the public mind that there is an in tention to invade personal rights would be quieted. All the people ask is, that their Con stitutional rights shall be respected and maintained.

The Difficulties in Itrnwn County. We call attention to the subjoined card of William Gould, a Republican, upon whose premises the difficulty occurred between Lewis Prosser and Sergeant Daniels. It presents an entirely different phase in regard to that unfortunate occurrence from what was first reported and the representations which appeared in the Republican journals. Mr. Gocld states in his card, and it is dated on the 23d inst., that the only armed force that has been called out in that county was by the officer who held the writ for Prosser. and "that was to protect every citizen without respect to party." This statement is confirmed by eight responsible citizens of Brown county, of both political parties, and in addition that the force alluded to "was disbanded as soon as the excitement allayed " They also state that th only object of the forceaV- to keep the peace and they "pledge themselves to u?e every exertion to prevent disturbance of public meetings or other violations of the law. and to bring to punishment every offender." How different are the facts in reference to the difficulties in Brown county from the exaggerated and ridiculous reports put in circulation by partisans for party effect. The citizens of Brown county are as faithful to the Government as any portion of the people of Indiana. Speaking for the people of their countv, eight respectable and responsible citizens say that "it is the universal deeire that the law slmll be respected and that no person's rights shall be invaded." In this way the peace of every com. munity can be bet preserved. It now remains to be seen whether the Republican papers which have spread wide-cast unjust reports in regard to the citizens of Brown county will correct them upon the testimony of their party friends: ' Nashville. Ind., April 23. 1SG3 The undersigned was ai. eye witness of the unfortunate occurrence of the ISkh inst., resulting in the death of Sergeant Daniels and the wound ing of Lewis Prosser. It happened at the premises occupied by the undersigned. It was not preconcert ed. but the result of n sudden heat. Mr Prosscr did not disturb the meeting until the fiiiht commenced, not until hi pun was wrested from him by the Sergeant, and had up to that time behaved vwy quietly. There is no occasion for any wide spread excitement; nor is there any fear whatever that any Union man will be molested The officer who had a writ for Prosper called out a force to preserve the peace, and that was nil the armed force that has been called out, Nnd that was to protect every citizen without respect to party. The exci:ement does not now exist in the county, and no danger of Tiolence need be apprehended. I am a Republican, and write this to correct the many gross rumors now in circulation outside the county. William Gould. P. S. Journal please copy. The undersigned, citizens of Brown county, hereby state that no aimed force has be;i called out in this coutur since the occurrence of the 16th in-t., alluded to in the foregoing certificate of Mr. Gould, except the officer's posse to keen the peace, and that was disbanded as soon as the excitement allayed. It is the universal desire here that the law shall be respected, and that no person's rights shall le invaded We advise all parties to moderation and obedience to law, and then no outbreak need be apprehended. We pledge ourselves to make every exertion to pre vent disturbances of public meetings or other violations of the law, and to bring to punishment every offender, and if a mob shall assail any one, we are assured that the power of the county, as on the occasion alluded to, shall be invoked, and that the peace of the community shall be preserved N.

Ml?3I8IPPI Sc.VAfK , A?t"i 25, 1Ö63 Editor State Sextixel: One would think, if he believed the Devil and his imps who whisper these tilings, that the Chicago Times, Cincinnati Enquirer, and the Indianapolis State Sentinel, were applying for admission to the High Court of Fiends Indeed, the courtiers of Pluto's domain, mut not so dispose of your papers. When 1 was a boy, I imbibed my political stimulants from Joseph A Wright. Now, he has has spread into a great light for the party who then would have snuffed him out. I often compare Jo. Wright now and Jo. Wright then Wright at college with Wright of the Abolition party. In those days, Jo. was very sparing in his sales of ginger lread for his college confreres at Bloomington. He would eit off the end of his cakes, thinking the customers would not miss the nibbles. Now, he is quite lavish with the gingerbread of demagogucrv, of which he deires the largest portion swallowed. When Jo. Wright was a great man. General Gorman was a ttriktr. The party that made one, made the other. Gorman, to day, is a most miserable being. He has no friends in either of the political parties and nowKing Cotton has him in a scrape, from which he cannot as yet pick out. He is not allowed the privilege of a resignationGeneral Curtis, and others, go as seemefh best, My elucidations are there be some honest rogues in the world, but a great many more roguish honest men. The news from Charleston has had a depressing effect upon the army of the Southwest. A reaction will probably take place when they learn that on the night ol the 15th inst . Admiial Porter and his whole iron clad fleet, except the Chil licothe, r.in the blockade of Wksburg. The Chillicothe has to be sent to St. Louis, or Cairo, for repairs she was damaged at Fort Pemberto she is another proof that you cau shoot a candle through a resisting body, easier than you can a cake of tallow. No guns were ever better handled than the Chillicothe's eleven inch D ilhgren, yet the Rebel rifle ones did her immense damage. Big guns are very slightly more effective than smaller ones. We have tried xth kinds of guns at Vicksburg and elsewhere. We have onl- partially succeeded. Why not try Jo. Wright's hydraulic ram, which you know has wonderful qualities. See report of agricultural speech With Governor Wright's rim and the total suppression of whisky, the morale of the army would improve nt otx-e. General Grant is making postmasters out of all those Chaplains who are not making money on their correspondence to Abolition newspapers, or sub-agencies for the Adams' Express Company.

Oi.r disastrous reconnoisancc before Charles ton has set the croakers to work. We shall hear fearful forebodings of Bri;ish intervention especially since the Petethoff affair. Atout noon, two years ago. it was my luck to be steaming uo the Mississippi River from Memphis to Cairo. All was the preparation of war. Commerce glided away from the God Mars. The pruning hook joined with the rampart. Twenty months passed away. The distance from Cairo to Memphis presented one vast scene of desolation. Truly, there was a sad picture. Now, a change. Sieamers are again plowing the waters, woodyards present their jutting ends, planters are sowing to reap a harvest, waste gives way to prosperity. W. C. F. Tallahatchie River, Miss., April 24, 1663. EniToa State Sextixel: I cannot give you a complete history of the namesake of a place which stands out so conspicuously upon the pages of history, and which once rested on solid foundations. However, we know that ancient Cairo was in Egypt, and that modern Cairo was in what is called the Egypt of the great Sucker State of Illinois, now a province or satrapy of the kingdom of Abe I, the Railsplitter, as some Butternut would say. Many years ago, an English joint stock com pany of which the Rothschilds were members, bought np the site of this Cairo, on which the surveyors laid eff an extensive plat, containing many hotels, banks, churches, and other "institutions" :il. found io a modern rxilrond town plot. Local history does not inform us whether a topographical m ip presented the darkest features of the site upon which a spleudi l architectural foundation w 14 to be raised that should rival ancient Cairo. Indeed, it is not probable that the crif r. of town lots would have b;en artistical, or eloquent 011 the picture of a bottom which was needed for all this- it would have been expen eive and the visions of engineers, at slight cost, would obviate all objections. "Old Massassip" became enraged nt this foreign intervention. lie wiped the whole concern out, if we except an old hotel ami a- few shanties which were the rendezvous of all that was virtuous, vicious, mean, and refined and squalid ail thai was left of Cairo. Thus the town rem lined until the Illinois Central Railroad was projected and begun. It was then resurrected. It rapidly i:rev into Importance nothing retarded it, but the rival Cuy of the Mound. Cairo now contains nbout eight thousand people. From the river it presents a fine view. Its levee is exciting and lively. Bui back of the levee, description beggars; it has no parallel in the world; it has not its counterpart ou this continent, sure. Ail that is needed to render it the most outre place iu creation, would be some John Chinameu. The levee is a kind of boulevard for Cairo, at least in the modern signification of the term. Afternoons a nd evenings, it is rilled (to use the Eastern phraseology) with the houri ami peri of the city und neighboring towns and those from far distant countries, loafing army officers and Other vagabonds, and salmagundi strollers. Yesterday, the Federal gunboat Choctaw Bailed for the fleet of Admiral Porter. She is a magnificent iron-clad carrying an armament that euht to do heavy work. It is supposed that the Choctaw will not be of much use to Admiral Porter. Vicksburg is on the eve of evacuation. The idea of D ijKmt's fleet arriving to help Porter and Farraut, is simply absurd, but such has been the ou dit. If the Monitors can run the bayous, let them come on. Down here, we think that the Monitors were not tested before Charleston. At Fort Pemberton, the Rebels threw the same j rojectile at the Chillicothe and Baron DeKall), that they did at the Monitors, and at a like distance. The Chillicothe had three inch iron plating with nine-inch pine board for backing. The Monitors had nine and and eleven inches of iron plating with oak backing, The Chillicothe remained in action longer than the Monitors. The Monitors bad full crews, whilst the Chillicothe and DeKalb had but haltete ws The Chillicothe had tour killed and eighteen wounded; the KeKalb three killed and two wounded. The nine Monitors did not have more than eight wounded. The Chillicothe and DeKalb had torpedoes and rafts before them Fort Pemberion and a wilv enemy behind them. The Monitors had only torpedoes and stone forts in front of tbem. Fort Pemberton ia an earth work, but practically it will resist the impact of a projectile better than stone The Chillicothe, ia fifteen minutes, fired seven times eleven-inch Dalhgren guns. Some of the Monitor did not fire more than one time in fifteen minutes. W. C. F, C5F"A correspondent of the Springfield Republican writes: They say that Howell Cobb, who is a rigid blue Presbyterian, of the strictest sort, met our men in one of the exchanges of prisoners lately, under a flag of truce. Some of our officers took the opportunity, s is usual, to have a little friendly conversation with Mr. Cobb, and in the ' course of his remarks he is said to have made thisstatement: "Only two things stand in the way of an amicable settlement of this whole difficulty;'' and then, as they listened eajrerly for terms of ac commolation "only two things, the landing of the pilgrims, and original sin." GfThe entire Democratic ticket was elected on the 20th ult. in Quincy, Illinois, by over C00 majority being a Democratic gain of 400. The indications and the results art everywhere encouraging.

How Hooker's Plans e Divclgsd to ths Eximt Strategic Motthests or the E.nk- . mv ox toe RAPfAHAxyocK Proximity or the Esemt to Washixotox Tbr Presujext Importcxed to Remote Admiral Dcpoxt How Charlestos Mat be Taiex, ac, c.,c. Special Correspondence of the Chicago Timss. Washixotox, April 21. It is probable that the publicity which has been given by some of the newspapers here and in New York to the movements of Hooker's army, will hnve the effect of defeating whatever object that officer had in view, even if the enemy had not penetrated his designs before. As early ag last Saturday, the newspapers alluded to contained the sütenient that Hooker's army was on the road to Richmond, by way of Culpepper, and that they had got as far as Gordonsville, of which place they had takeu possesion. Now, m far as referred to Gordonsville, there was not one word of truth in the statement. As everything that is telegraphed from hereto New York, however, is known to have passed under the supervision of the Secretary of War, and to be approved and authorized by him, the statement, when it appeared in the New York paper, was regarded by many persons as authentic. The deception was immediately exposed, but the mischief was done. The information was speedily carried by the underground mail to the enemy's lines, and they were thus semi officially informed of what they had already conjectured, namely: that Hooker's army was marching on Richmond by the route immortalized by the shameful cam paign of Pope. The heavy rain of Sunday night and Monday followed; the roads which before the 17th inst. had been comparatively good, have now been changed into impassable bogs, and Hooker finds his whole army floundering in quagmires and stuck in the mud. with the pleasant reflection that the secret of the whole campaign has been divulged to his alert and vigilant foe, who will not fail to take advantage of the fact. As, owing to this lamei.table indiscretion of Hooker's friends, further concealment is useless, as Hooker already finds himself confronted with a force of 30,000 of the enemy, I may state at once that the Army of the Potomac, or rather the shattered and depleted remains of that army, deprived of its best Generals, and with its gaps filled up with new regimeuts, is tili on the safe side of the Rappahannock, but nearly as far up that stream as Warrenton. Aa the whole campaign has been unmasked by the special organs of the Administration, as the enemy has been forewarned by them that it is Hooker's purpose to march on Gordonsville I will state that the enemy has been making such demonstrations on the west bank of the river that Hooker has not deemed it prudent to cross, and has not crossed. The distance between kis army and Gordonsville, at the present time, is fully forty miles; and not the Rappahannock, but the Rapidan river also, lies between him and that place. In the meaniime. all the movements of the enemy on the Rappahannock, are purely strategic. All the accounts you see of "fights at Kelly s Ford," "Fights at the United States Ford," ' attempts of the Rebels to cross the Rappahannock," are only feints on the part of Gen. Lee to amuse Hooker and distract Iiis attention, while Lee is carrying out some design of his own. The Confederates have no intention of crossing the Rappahannock now, or there. When they cross, it will be when Hooker's army is farther away from Washington than it is now, and at fords that are not guarded, of which they will find plenty when the time comes, as they did last August when Pope was telegraphing to Stanton that "he was holding the fords." The Confederates still have a stray force be tween Hooker's army and the capital. A strong detachment of General Stuart's cavalry are now at Dranesville, onlv twenty miles west of this city indeed, h is been there for some days past. The official organ of the Administration says, "it is beüved by the Government that our cavalry will succeed iu capturing them." That is food for gudgeons. In the same way, and by the sameoran, we were informed, "it id believed bv the Government that Gen. Banks will capture Port Hudson;" "it is Uelieved by the Government that Charleston will be captured." &.C., ad nauseam. Yet Port Hudson, Vicksburg and Charleston yet remain undisturbed; and so does the Rebel cavalry near Washington. Perhaps it will not surprise you to learn that there are persons now here who are making great efforts to have Admiral Dupont removed from his command, and even dismissed in disgrace from the navy. They are the same kind of men who houndea Gen. McClellan, Geu. Porter, Gen. Franklin, and Gen. Buel. They boast that they have already obtained the President's promise that Admiral Dupont shall be removed nt least, as soon as he can find a successor. Thus all good men iu the army and navy are stricken down. There is no better or abler officer in the navy than Admiral Dupont. But the attack on Charleston has demonstrated that that city is im pregnable to anj naval force, however large. There is one way, and only one, in which Charleston can be taken. It can be taken by a land force of 20(1,000 well disciplined Uoops. well supplied with mortars and siege guns. The reason why all our military operations between Charleston and Savannah, during more than twelve months, have amounted to nothing, is, that no army can operate south of the railroad between those two cities. The railroad itself is built on a trcstlework for more than half its length, and all the land between it and the sea is swampy and boggy. The army that takes Charleston munt land at Bull's Bay, "twenty miles to the eastward, nnd must march around the city on the arc of a circle till a point is reached on the Savannah railroad, twelve miles west of Charleston. This done, and this line held by 100,000 troops, Charleston is cut off at once from Richmond and from the West. Let the troops then be drawn in. and a second Iiue of investment be formed, eight miles from Charleston. The place must then be reduced by regular siege approaches. Charleston is defended on the laud side by forts; but they are no stronger than the works at York town. The siege might require a month perhaps more. But, attacked in this way, parallel after parallel dug, till our mortars and siege guns were ready to open, Charleston would eventually fall. The city once in our possession. Fort Sumpter and the other forts in the harbot would soon be starved into surrender. In this way, and in this way alone, cau Charleston ever be taken. X TELECRAPHIC. SuihI.iv Night Dispatches Fort Monroe, Anril 25. Southern papers say it is reported from Havana that Admiral Wilkes has been arrested and paroled for firing into a Spanish steamer. Admiral Milne has also ordered the arrest of Wilkes for being, with the Vanderbilt crew, engaged iu the Petei hoff affair.

The steamer Fulton from New Orleans via Key West the 19th, arrived here The Era of the 19th has an account of the late military movements on the night of the 17th. General Banks had reached Vermillionville, after a hard tight at Vermillion bayou, where the Rebels had posted batteries and infantry and were driven back, with consider ..Me loss on both sides. A letter in the Era, dated from the field above New Iberia, April 17, eays that Col. Kimball with the 53d Massachusetts regiment, had entered the Rebel works at Bethel Place on the morning of the 14th. He planted our flag on the parapet. General Weitzel 's division followed, and then the whole line. The Rebels left their dead uoburied. There was evidence of bloody work in their ranks. This affair puts us in possession of large supplied of ammunition and some Enfield rifles and other arm. Our army tbeu marched through Pattersonville, skirmishing continuously. It reached Frank lin on the )5lh inst. Prior to Thursday night, some thousand prisoners had been brought into Franklin. Whole comoanies of Rebels were captured at the same time. PiTTsBURGii.

The steamer Hyatt arrived this evening, having left Cape Girardeau at 3 o'clock P. reports that collision between the Federals and the enemy occurred at about 1 1 o'clock this morning. The fighting continued two hours, the enemj being repulsed. No particulars. A strong force of Federal cavalry and artillery occupied Fredericktown last night. Nearly all the Rebel prisoners confined there have been renoved to Alton, and all Government property placed under guard.
