    3. New Orleans (LA) Times-Picayune, July 21, 1863, p. 1. Indianapolis, July 10, 1863-The rebels captured Salem, Ind., this morning, burned the depot of the Louisville and Chicago Railroad, and took 500 of the guards prisoners. No particulars of the fight have been received. A person who escaped reached Seymour this morning. He says Morgan's forces were 7,000 strong with 6 pieces of artillery. Morgan left Salem this afternoon, moving eastward, it is supposed, for the purposes of striking the Indianapolis and Louisville Railroad at Vienna and Seymour.
