Dicpatches from Indianapolis on Monday stated that the rebels had entered that State at several point.-, and lud captured Somerset and London, and were threatening Ghsi;ov and Howling (ireen. Uuells army was reported to be in great danger. (lov. Morton, always ready for such an emergency, sent several regiments to Kentacky on Monday, one of which is commanded by Gn Thos. A. Morris, the hero of Laurel Hill and Caniek's Ford ; another is commanded by Cen. Lv Wallace ; and others by dcnerals Dumont, Reynolds and Love. These ollirers will remain in command as long as necessary. (jov. Magolliii, of Kentucky, has resigned. Uy a provision of the Constitution of that Slate, Hon. James F. Robinson, Speaker of the Senate, becomes (Jovernor. He is an unconditional Union man. Col. Corcoran and Lieut.-Col. Wilcox, have, at List, Leen released by the re! els, ami are now in Washington. Stonewall Jackson, in his lite retreat, drove the colored people before him, and ordered that they be shot in any attemj.t to e.-eapo. (I en. butler haa aser sod certain individuals and corporations of New Oilcans, who h ive aided rebellion with their means, the sum of $rl'J,0)() for the relief of the destitute of that city. An intercepted httrr states that a secret Con'edcrate army is . organizing in New Orleans, and that 3,001) men are already enrolled. Cassini M. Cliy is to have a command Wo.-toftke Mississippi.

al forces again.-t eight regiments of cavalry and part of Hindman'ri brigade. Harrison's Landing has been evacuated by our troop?, and McClclluii's forces are in Williamsburg again. Where this O ft army proposes to go from tl:at point is not known, hut the intention is to co-operate with Pope. The rebels did not pursue McCIellan, but are rapidly concentrating their forces at Oordcnsville, where, the indications are, the next great battle will be fought. The whole of our Eastern armies are getting into positions where they will able to act in concert, and reinforcements from the Eastern States are constantly pouring into Washington. Since our last we have an account of a battle at Baton Kouge. The place was attacked by a large force under command of the traitor Breckinridge; the at

tack was (irce, and the struggle which ensued was protracted and obstinate. The rebels succeeded in burning some of the camps of our troops during a temporary occupation, and their I'm al repulse seems to have been mainly elfected by our gunboats. The people of Baton Kongo tired on our wounded, and as a punish ment, their houses were pulled down. (Sen. Williams, on our side, was killed. The rebel (Jeneral Clarke was dangerously wounded and made prisoner. Our loss was 70 killed and 1215 wou.ided. No ollicers in Ohio, not even the Oovenor, is exempt from the draft. General Stone, who has been confined for hoiiio time in Ft. Warren, has been released by the (lovernn cut. A tight occurred in Missouri, at Lone Jack, Jackson County, about 20 miles south west of Lexington, between Cols. Phillips and Criteuden's regiments ot State troops, M)0 strong, and about o, ()(() rebel troops under Qiantrill and other guerrilla i hiel, w hich resulted in the defeat ol the State forces, with a loss of J00 killed and wounded, and two piece- of artillery. A new military depaitment ha b"cn created to be called the Department ol Ohio, comprising Wisconsin, Mnhigin, Ulinob, Indiana, Ohio and Kentuck v, ineludittg Cum! er! mid Or.p and the fortes tli re, with Majt.r General Wright as Commander. The guerrillas an at work in A'.ab una. A ti ain from Hunt--ville was ii;ed into mir Columbia, and a womin and her child and two of the 'Jd ICentiudiy regiment wete killed. The rebels are ic posted to have e vacuated Chait mcgi. and are making a Northern movement. Gen. Batler is to bw rec tiled

from the Department of the Gulf and Gen. Dixisto take his place. Butler's next field of operations will probably be South Carolina. Gen. Burnside is now at Fortress Monroe, and there is r.ome talk of his taking command of the army now under McCIellan. We hope he will, and that .soon. Indiana ha? organized, rquiped and sent to the field, in four days, fourteen thousand men. The Daily Journal says: ''Since Monday morning this really formidable army, as large as that with which General Scott marched upon Mexico, has been collected from their many rendezvous, paid, fully prepared, and seilt into the held. Our sister States, though moving fully up to the vigorous action of the past, have not yet been able to tsend out a single regiment. Indiana has met the crisis alone, and we trust basso met it that the peril has been stayed till the vast legions of Ohio and Illinois can be hurried to her aid. In less than a week a continuous stream of men will begin pourinii from those great and noble States into Kentucky, and then the tide of war will roll back to the rebel territory, never to ad

vance again. Commandants of the camps report that the 70th, 80th, 81st, 81d, 83d, Mth, 85th, SGth 80th and OOth regiments have a suilicient number ot men recruited to (ill them up to the required standard. Look out for important new? in a few days. The new and vigorous policy is beginning to work. FLAG PRESENTATION TO LIEUT. GSO. U. CARTER'S COMPANY, ON MONDAY. Proscntr.tion Speech of Hon. T. 31. Itrovue. On Monday morning a iar;re crowd from the town and country assembled on the public square to witness the presentation of a beautiful stand of colors piocured by the ladies ol Winchester for Lieut. Carter's Company. The Company was formed, and, accompanied by martial music, was marched bv its ollicers through the principal streets. It waj then marched in front of the CourtHouse, where the Hag was presented. On behalf of the ladies Hon. T. M. Browne made a brief presentation speech. It was wholly ir'ijrrti I it. but we are ; bh through his kindness, to give it substantially.
