FoREwARsED Is TO BE FoREARMEn.--The
following letter from an intelligent aud highly
respectable Wing of Illinois was received by
Monday nights mail, and we hasten to lay it
before our readers. The wings along the Wa
bash must be upon theirguard TO detect all pipe
laying. which we have no doubt will be resort
ed TO BY the locofocos in their desperate at
tempts TO carry this State. The writer says;
.... CARMI, ILL, Oct IS, 1913.
TO The Editor Of the Journal;
AS the election draws near, the wings of this
State, as well as yourselves, feela deep interest
in the result OF the vote of Indiana. That IL
linois will vote for Cass and Butler, no one
pretends to question. Kentucky is quite as
certain for Taylor aud Fillmore. The demo-
Gratis of the latter State will therefore feel but
little interest in their own election, so also
with considerable number in this State, the
result Of which will doubtless be an attic mpt
by the Cass and Butler party, the petty poll
ticians only is meant, TO procure as many
votes for their candidates from these State, as
possible The system OF "pipe-laying so sue
cessfully praclised in "A, will be resumed with
double diligence, for the purpose OF carrying
Indiana, ald the frauds enacted in the Louis
lana election, will End a repetition in your
State, unless the most active measures be re-
sorted to to defeat it. e
These fears have been brought more immedi-
ately however, 10 me by hearing that some locos
have already made a boast that they will carry
Indiana in that way. if the contest should be
close And now let me beg of you to caution
the wing party all along the borders of the
State, to give the most unremitting diligence on
the day of the election, TO detect all illegal vo-
ters. This can bat be done by having some
intelligent gentleman, who are well acquainted
at each precinct in the several counties, to
keep look out If it be done, the result viii
prove that the fears herein expressed are not
without foundation. Remember the old adage'
-"the course of the winds vary or determine.
by the flight of straws."

AyECDoTE OF ZACHARY TAYLOR When
General Butler arrived al New Orleans, return
ing from Mexico, public honors were appro-
Pr,ately rendered him, a procession through
the streets being part of the ceremonies
Gen. Taylor happening IN the city at the time,
was invited BY friend to occupy window of
his parlor, commanding view of one of the
principal atreets along which the procession
was 10 move. He took his station little be-
fore the procession passed; and being perceiv-
ed by some persons in the street, they set up a
spontaneous shout--'Hurrah for old Zacki-
The roar of course instently brought forth a
crowd Of men, which was augmented every
moment. till in very short time, the street
was packed. They demanded that the Old He
70 should come out on the balcony and speuk
to them. Completely surprised for once in
his life, for the FIRST time in his career, he re-
treated, secretiDg himself in private chamber
secure from search. But OH moments re.

blocking it up, and could not be easily disper.

a word from General Taylor, and the Butler
procession, now approaching, would be OBJ
structed in their march,. Unpleasant com
mentaries might be made on this obstruction
however rndesignedly thrown in the way Of
the procession. These suggestions being made
by friend to General Taylor, he consented to
come forth, speak word, and request the PEG
pld to clear the street. He appeared, actually
trembling in the presence of sovereigns, and
addressed few words to them in falterinl
tones, thanking them for the civility shown
him, and handsomely cOmplimenting Gen
Butler, who was deservedly receiving at tina
moment demonstration of public respect
This was the substance of his speech on which
the people being entirely satisfied, they i'm
mediately retired, giving room for the process

A foppish Locofoco being near Gen. Taylo
and perceiying the trepdaiion of his name

was asked what he could find in the matte
