thieves and counterleiters has recently been
discovered in Pope and Massae counties, Hill
nois. A correspondent Of the Louisville Cou-
rier says:
"Having heard the names of several, will
/ mention them here. VIM. Turner, magistrate,
Csrmice, clerk of one ofthe courts, Jne. Reed,
sheriff, and james Brown, constable; besides
these, are Cheat Lynn Bart Lynn, Young
Lynn, Spence and his two sons, VIM. Edwards,
Harris, two Turner's (sons Of the magistrate, J
John Downy Lyman Miller and Decatur Grey.
They are counterfeiting gold and silver coin as
well rs Kentucky, Indiana and Tennessee bank
notes. and their actions OF late have been such
as to arouse the citizens of Illinois to sense of
their duty, who, for the purpose of extermina-
| ting them, have organized themselves into a
body, very appropriately called s'The Regula-
! tors"
Three or -four weeks ago, a number of gem
tlemen residing in this place, at the request OF
the citizens of Illinois, crossed the river to as
sist the "Rcgulators" in aIresting some of the
members of the gang; and having proceeded to
] the house Of Young Lynn, found a number of
them there, all armed and ready to fight. If
/ the "Regulatorsn had not been SO Numerous, |
| suppose they would have resisted. They went
so far as to say TO them, if they intended using
force, they would repel it with force; but if
! they had authority to arrest any Of them, they
would submit. Only three, believe, were Ia
! ken: Cheat Lynn, Young Lynn and Matthews;
! they have since been baiIed On Friday night,
the 2Sth inst, three Of the gang, VIM, Turner,
| Young Lynn and Leigh, were taken by the
/ "Regulators, ~ and cacred TO Tennessee Island,
/ (neary opposite this place, and punished pref
! tY severely. VIM. Turner (the magistrate, J
/ had rourI b;eh ,1, NH; ob
| twisted with a stick, caused his tongue to hang
out quite far, giving him no little pain. He was
thus forced to confess, and in his confessions
! informed against his two sons.
| Young Lynn, after having been served in
somewhat the same style, confessed being the
principal manufacturer of the coin and told,
where the moulds, Sc, might be found in his
house. The "Regulators" repaired to the place
and succeeded in finding them, after which,
Turner, Harris and Lynn were permitted to
slope, on condition they would leave the coun-
try.
The next day the "Reguators" were in pur-
suit Of others-whether they were fortunate
enough to find any, have not yet ascertained.
They are to meet again next Friday; it appears
as though they are resolved to rid the country
of this lawess set, which, it is TO be hoped they
will do.
Edwards, the son-n-Iaw of Squire Turner, is
now imprisoned at Metropolis, Ill.
PoTAro-RoT PREVENTIVE, A correspondent
informs the New York Sun that after drying
his potatoes few hours in the field, he placed
them in barrels, distributing in each barrel, halt
a peck of quick lime, well mixed, with an
equal quantity Of powdered charcoal, which
kept the potatoes sound all the year. He thinks
the same mixture would prevent rot in the hill,
if spread on the manure; but this he has not
tried
