A Mare's Nest. : Jr. Mason, the rebel Commissioner to England, for want of more nrnfilihla nmriliivmcat to bis masters at Rich mond, has been endeavoring (o make some i m . capital lor nome use out oi a sen constituted committee of one named M. D Conway, who professes to be a representative of the j abolitionists in this country. The whole; thing was so contemptibly puerile that it is i hardly worth noticing, yet Mr. Mason hs welled it into importance sufficient to have the correspondence between himself' and Conway published in the London papers, from which it has been transferred to the journals on this side of the Atlantic. Mason thought ha would entrap some of the 1 eading abolitionists of this country by proving that they were willing to consent to a dissolution of tbe Union, provided the South would obligate itself to abolish slavery, which this Mr. Conway says they would accomplish, on these terms, by withholding supplies, and, as the abolitionists held the balance of power, they could accomplish their part -of the bargain. Mason, apposing ' ba had the game all in his own bands, now required of Conway his credentials, to show that he was fully authorised to make the proposition he had presentee, to which tha latter replied that he would send home for them I -and declined giving any authority for hit action. The London Star, in alluaicn to the correspondence, suggests that, whilst Mason was probably endeavoring to effeet a tell of Mr. Conway and the abolitionists here, he la LIrus If been sold by them, and that Conway has outwitted the Southern ambassador. , v A Fletiaant Incident. 1 A pleasant incident occurred at the celebration of tha Loyal League of Newark Saturday last. - Shortly after the exercises had 'commended, the proclamation' of tha President, announcing the victory of our arms, was reoeived and read.

Already eighteen hundred prisoners have been brought into Vicksburg from the battlefield. General Sherman is in command of a large force outside of Iiig .Black . Few casualties are reported among our troops during the late fights beyond the Black River. A r rnmor prevailed that General Osterhaus was killed in the battle on the 8th. We arc able to say, however, that the rumor is altogether dis credited in the best informed circles. From Southern sources we hear that our forces have occupied Meridian, on the Jackson it Mobile Railroad. Parties from Helena represent that General Lilunt has captured Little Rock, with a large number of prisoners. It is reported that Bragg had sent part of his army to Richmond, Va.' on the 24th ult , and another report has it that he had divided his forces between Atalanta and Knoxville. A UIIEAT EXPLOIT TIILUOV'S WAU Tit AIM. Capt. E. P. Fitch. Jepot quartermaster at Martinsburg, Virginia, arriveei in this city to-day about one o'clock, with his train of j horses, wagons, and Government stores, amounting to over one and a half millions.

His wife an 1 other ladies in the house dragged him out to an 'orchard,' and thus saved him from being roasted j alive. Near Frankfort they also killed' Garrett Hunt, and just aliovo the town they j murdered Wm. Frahee. At Corydon all; the storehouses were rifled, and ire wanton destruction of properly so med to be the ereat object of the raiders. When the town them.

A sharp little fight occurred before the lebels occupied Corydon, between six hundred citizens and the rtbe's. The rebel loss was six killed and twenty-nine wounded. Our loss is 2 killed and 370 captured. The Hon. T. C. Slaughter is among the captured, citieons. D.-ugla", Dembo &. C;-., and J. S. Wright, were the principal sufferers financially, although the merchants and mechanics suffered more or less from the robbers. At Salem the depot was burned, but no other property of much value was destroyed. A contribution of $25,000 was levied on the town. ' Wash Dupuaw, one of the wea'thiest ciii zens of Souihern Indiana, was coropel'ed to pay $5,000 to keep his mills from being destroyed. The injury to the Jt ffersonville railroad was very slight. It wa? all repaired by Monday evening, and trains. arj now running regularly on the road. ' On the New Albany and Chicago road the rebels deaf roved fourteen bridges, from six to one hundred feet in lengh, but all were repaired yesterday evening, and the road is now in running order. At Patmjra his men were allowed every license in the destruction of property, and many of the grossest outrages were perpetrated npon unoffending citizens. Horse stealing is the order of the day with the raiders. We learn that they have already stolen fronj six to seven hundred head, all tine animals. At Dupnnt they broke into the stores and took all the boots, shoes and clothing they could find. They also took about 2, 000 canvas hams, but afterward threw most ot them away, they being so closely pursued that they could not conveniently carry them. 1 fit Indiana Milma ttrgamzea. It is a gratification to live, in Indiana! for co other State has quite come op to it in tbe outpouring of her sons to delend the Old Flag. It is but fitting that so glorious a State should have as good and live a Gover nor as she now possesses in the person of O. P. Mortoh. Taking advantage of the patriotic response of tLe People, to rush to the capital to help drive out the State ed, they were sent out to head off and intercept Morgan. This duty has been done in several instances, and the horse thief and robber has bad hard work to dodge and keen from havinar a general fiirht with mir my oe oraerca to reoaezvous, in an orgai.isel shape each citizen soldier know iog who are his officers, so that no chaotic confusion will again occur.

We do not know that that there is any cure for a stump sucking hore, no more than there Is for natural meanness, aud io this article we do not propose to- prescrfbc a remedy for either ; but merely to notice tte fact that a horse given to the habit will surely indulge it, and that the J pi lis tribe will omit no opportunity to show forth its superlatively litlle, low, aod grovelling nature. Failing to reach General Meredith by their efforts lo villify and abuse him, and thus obstruct his advancement to positions he bad gained by bravery and gallantry on the battle-field, risking Lis life in the service of his country, the " talented M. C." and his delectible Sancho," of the family organ, are " prospecting " in order to effect jtheir object in another and no less sneaking way. In the True (Julian ) Rrjttblican of the 9.h, we find the following : " Gov. y ortos's attendance at Cambridge on the 4th, we are credibly informed, only tended to give aid and comfoit to Cvpperheadism, and to compromise bis own position. Some ol Gen." Mirkdith's friends we learn were highly indignant juttly to it setnu to us that the Governor in his speech made no rtfttence to the general, while complimenting another officer of the 19th rfgiment. TAe whole affair must hare been eminently unsatitfactorily to ell concerned, except copperheads. . Vituperation and abase having become, in the language of Sbakspeare, the ' catas trophe and heel of pastime" with the Ju liaks, thev had heaped it without stint on ' , r the devoted head of Geu. Sol.

When Gov. Morton went on the siand,"! lie found no one but himself knew of Gen. Meredith s being lataily wounded, (tie having received a dispatch from New York of that purnort.) He informed those around ,. -., . j j , him, that he intended referring to it in his 6 remrks;but they requested him not to do so as Mrs. Mkrkdith was in the audience, and knew nothing of it. For this reason, ard il flrnnr Aa Knn.i, f ' . .. . .... . . . i Gen. M. . The bullet-riddled flag of the gallant 19th was floating from tbe stand he alluded to that, and spoke of the brave boys composing the regiment, and passed a high and deserved eulogium on Lieut. Col. Duplet, (of whom it was then reported lhat he was killed, but who was only seriously wounded ) We know Gov. MoRTOKhas always been Gen. Meredith's firm and steadfast personal friend, and his Attorney,- whilst G. W. JiLiAS was always his private and political enemy. Morton rendered him every possible assUtance in raising his regiment. Julian denounced and abused him, and publicly declared that be (Meredith) "could not get a single recruit in Wayne county." Gov. Morton always visited the legiment when he went to Washington. Julian resided in Washington, and never visited the regiment once. Morton has always used Lis inflaence with the President to secure the General's promotion and confirmation. Julias, by abject lying and downright meanuess, did all it was possible for him to do to defeat both ; but, thank God, he was defeated in both. Gov. Morton has always complimented tbe General fyv Lis gallantry in speeches before the brigade and in Washington City ; and as furtberproof of bis confidence in him as a military man aiid of his friendship, lte Governor recently aked tle War Depaitmerit to place him in command of Indiana; but Gen. Meredith.- notwithjtfanding his failing health, reused to leave the field until njt r tie 'Onlcst now pending was decided in ir ..rar. :. i : .-i 1 Titi " Julian raid," for the purpose of ireatjng trouble between the personal friends ;f tl.e Governor and General, will prove as eminently unsatiifactorily," as all the other raids set in motion by the promptings of Le natural meanness governing these roaligoers of private character and patriotic public service on the battlefield. The intiat;on that nobody hut "copperheads were well pleased with Gov. Morton's admira ble and timely remarks at Cambridge City gressiooal District, to branding the state ment, as preposterously false, having no otber foundation but the hopes and wisbee of the "talented" M.

Howard met the crisis, -reforming on Ceineteay Hill, just south of the town, as his center. Troops were reformed in the rear, batteries hurried np, and ere the rebel advance was half way through the town a thunderbolt of leaden and iron hail leaped from the whole line, and crushed them where they stood. A forty minutes's straggle saved the day, and Howard held hispo sit ion. Meredith's brigade went in 1,8?0 strong. and came out with 700 men, near 1,000 of I them killed and wounded. Cullers wentj in with 1,600 men, after the fight had only 49 officers and 549 men. i
