CIVIL WAR IN ILLINOIS.

TADUCAH, Aug. J. lS49.
A hand OF lawless, thieving desperadoes,
with the unenviable appellaiion of Flatheads,
have for some time past committed outrageous
depredations upon the honest portion of the
population OF the Southern end of Illinois,
The band OF thieves number about three hun
bred.
For the safety of life and personal proper
ty, about i've hundred of the most respectable
inhabitants of that State formed themselves
into an association called the Regulators
The expressions perpetrated by the Flat
heads becoming Insupportable, the Regulators
determined TO use the most vigorous measures
10 bling the culprits 10 justice They accord
Ingly procured writs for the arrest of ten or
twelve OF the leaders of the Flathead gang,
and summoned the officers to aid them in the
execution of the law.
The Flatheads hearing of this movement,
the most determined of them, 10 the number
of about seventy-fve, assembled in a log
house, where, armed 10 the teeth, and making
a fort of the log house, they determined to
stand their ground, and give battle a--l..-
The Regulators having discovered the re-
treat, came and summoned the Fla:heads to
surrender, which request being refused, the
Regulators threatened 10 charge the log house,
anu IHfIleu every HoHSsl Hdh "Hu was HIS
led into it to leave.
About twenty-six, seeing the side of Justice
was the strongest, lett their companions in
log house.
The Regulators then charged upon the re-
mainder of the Flatheads, and soon put them
10 precipitate flight.
During the charge, two of the Flatheads
were killed and three wounded. Three of the
Regulators are said to have been MORALLY
wounded.
The whole neighborhood is in the greatest
excitement. The Regulators. assisted by the
authorities, determined TO run this lawless
band out of the country, and are pursuing
them in every direction.
| A number of the Flatheads had fled over tc
Kentucky, and others have fled over to the
swamps.-PhH. Bulletin. .r-s

FIRST GOLD MINE IN THE UNITED STATES.
We fad in the last Salisbury Watehmdm,
the following "sketch of the discovery and
history of the Reed Gold Mine in Cabarrus
County, North Carolina, being the first Gold
Mine discovered in the United States" fur
nisheG TO that paper by Col. GEORGE BARN
HARDT, gentleman largely engaged in Gold
mining in the Western part of this State
Now that California has attracted attention to
the subject of Gold mining, we feel certain
that this will be read with interest. At this
mine was found the largest single piece Of gold
which has ever yet been discovered:
The first piece of gold found at this mine
was in the year 1899, by Conrod Reed, boy
of about twelve years old, a son of John Reed,
the proprietor. The discovery was made in
an accidental manner: The hoy above named,
in company with sister and younger brother,
went to small stream. called Meadow Creek
on Sabbath day while their parents were at
church, for the purpose of shooting fish with
bow and arrow and while engaged along the
bank of the creek, Conrod saw yellow sub
lance shining in the water-he went in and
picked it up--and found it TO be some kind
of metal and carried it home. Mr.. Reed eX-
amined it. but as gold was unknown in this
part OF the country at that time, he did not
know what kind of metal it was The piece
was about the size OF a small smoothing iron.
Mr.. Reed carried the piece of metal to Con-
cord and showed it VIM. Atkinson, a silver
smith, but he not thinking of gold was unable
to say what kind of metal it was.
Lyo1 IL ~ g.
his house floor 10 lay against the door TO keep
it from shutting. In the year 1902. he went to
market 10 Fayetteville, and carried the piece OF
metal with him; and on showing it 10 Jewel.
Ter, the Jeweller Immediately told him it was
gold, and requested Mr. Reed 10 leave the
metal with him and said he would fux it,
Mr. Reed left it, and returned in a short time
and on his return the Jeweller showed him
large bar of gold or inches long. The
Jeweler then asked Mr. Reed what he Womb
take for the har Mr.. Reed (not knowing the
value of gold,) thought he would ask big
price, and so he asked three dollars and fifty
cents, ($3 500 The Jeweller paid him his
price.
After returning home, Mr. Reed examined
and found gold in the surface along the creek
He then associated Frederick Kisor, James
Love, and Martin Phifer, with himself ant
in the year 1903, they found piece of gol'
in the branch that weighed % lbs. Numerous
pieces were found at this mine weighing from
Is lbs. down TO the smallest PARTICLES. Thu
whole surface along the creek for nearly ;
mile was very rich in gold
The veins of this mine were discovered il
the year 1881. They yielded large quantity
of gold. The veins are flint or quartz
do certify that the foregoing is a tru
statement of the discovery and history of thi
Mine, as given by John Reed and his son
Conrod Reed, now both dead.

The 0'BrienS---Rebel and Knight.

The Tribune says, a short time since,
VIM. Smith O'B.ien, an Irish gentleman
Of rank and family, Thomas F. Meagher,
of Waterford, Terrence Bellew NJ Manus,
Patrick O'Donohue, the courageous and
honest John Mitchell, John Martin, and
Kelvin Izod O'Dogherty, were despatched
to Van Dieman's Land, the Botany Bay of
England, branded as traitors, and injured
in their standing and prospects, by a gov
ernment which oppresses their country
with a degree of cruelty unknown in any
other civilized community. They resisted
unbearable expressions, for the love they
bore to Ireland, and from an anxious de-
sire to obtain for it that justice which Eng
land steadily refuses. The Queen was
asked by thousands to forgive them for
that, but both parties in England decidedly
opposed the extension of mercy to the in
jured.
At length Her Majesty took a trip with
her court and mobiles to Dublin, where it
was moved in the Municipal Council, that
now was the time to ask her to "pardon'
the Irish patriots; and so it was: but the
idea was exceedingly distasteful to her
English courtiers, and the motion, there
fore, was lost by majority of one, and
that one was Mr.. Smith O'Brien's name
sake, the Dublin Mayor.
Mayor O'Brien seems to have known
what he was about; he was at once admit
ted into the ancient order Of British Baro-
nets, as Sir Timothy O'Brien, while the
Mayors of Cork, Belfast, &c, were mere.
ly knighted. The Dublin Mayor preven
ted an honest expression of the wishes o
Ireland's capital from being conveyed tc
the sovereign; and was rewarded with
hereditary rank; the other Mayors render
ed less service to party, and got a very in
ferior reward.

Nine Cheers for Cambria
Democracy Triump p haMt.

Although we have not received
full returns from all the townships
in the county, we have sufficient to
satisfy us that the whole democratic
ticket, with the exception perhaps,
of our candidate forCounty Com
missioner are elected. AS we
predicted, little Cambria has come
up to the work nobly. We have
given Gamble about THREE Hun
DRED majority. and elected our
member for the Legislature, our
Sheriff, County Treasurer, Coro-
ner and Auditor, and perhaps the
County Commissioner. This is
certainly most glorious result,
and conveys the gratifying intelli-
gence that the democracy of Cam
bria are once more united.
The democracy of Cambria
have done their share towards re-
deeming the State from the thral-
dom of Federalism, and if our
sister counties have acted equally
as well, Gamble is elected by ar
overwhelming majority.
In another column will be founo
the returns OF this county as far
as heard from at the time our pa
per went 10 press.
L. s. Since the above was ir
type, we have received sufficient
returns to place the election of the
whig candidate for County Com
missioner beyond doubt.
