Difficulties WITH THE NEGROES IN IrI
LINoIs.-The St. Louis Evening News saws
a gentleman arrived III that city from Car.
Isle, in Illinois, states that a few DAYS sincs
a difficulty arose at that place between
some citizens and party of free negroes
which caused great deal of excitement At
the time. 1t grew out of fight that tool,
place between a negro boy and a son of ex.
Senator Breese The father of the negro
boy interfered, and gave Judge Breese's
son a beating. Others intertered, and par
ty after party became involved on each side,
until the excitement became general. The
citizens took the negroes who had first
offended, tied them up and whipped them.
Three other negroes who had somehow sic.
nalized themselves in the difficulty, were
served in like manner. Some of the citi-
zens, in the course of the excitement, load.
ed cannon with several pounds of buck.
shot, and fired it at negro house There
were only two occupants in it at the time,
one of whom received slight injury. The
negroes were ordered to leave the place in
three days, and threatened with similar
treatment if they failed to comply. When
our informant left the excitement had SUBJ
sided, bat it is possible it may be renewed
at the end Of the three days truce, which
has been granted to the negroes.

1t is a remarkable fact in the biography
of Gen. SCoTT, that under all the illiberal
usage he has received from individuals and
from the Government, he has uniformly
preserved his temper, abstained from recrim-
nation and even returned ngratitude and
injury with kindness. Moreover, he has
invariably faced accusation, by whomsoever
made, with the bodness of mind conscious
of rectitude, and in no case has he failed,
upon a fair examination, triumphantly to
vindicate himself His course nowhere
evinces a fear or evasion of scrutiny into
his conduct and motives. On the contrary,
it shows that he has CHALLENGED inquiry when
ever his character or actions have been I'M
pugned; and this, too, even when he might
readily have escaped any formal inquisiton.
or postponed it until circumstances were
favorable to an honest and impartial inyesti-
CATION of the charges preferred. Besides
this promptness to encounter either the
slightest or most formidable impeachment
of his integrity as a man or as an officer, the
respectful submissivcness with which he has
6beyed the summons OF authority, in every
instance in which he has been arraigned for
alleged violations Of duty, distinguishes him
above most men for that loyalty Of disposi-
ton which is the first merit of a good citizen,
and the highest qualification for position of
military command or civil administration.

The Reported Revolution at Ell
PaSSO.

Since our notice yesterday of the report
ed Revolution at El Paso, in which we ex-
pressed doubt of such an event having oc-
CURED, we have found in a letter to the
Washington Union, dated Eel Paso, July
10, some intrmations that a Revolutionary
movement was then projected, which 90 far
to cause us to change our opinion as to the
authenticity of the news. The intimations
referred to are contained in the following ex-
tracts. After complaining of the sufferings
OF the people in that region caused by In
dian depredations, and the lack of any pro-
lection by our Government, the writer says:
". o. BM.
"Under these circumstances, it cannot be
surprising that secret societies and organiza-
tiOns of Mexicans and Americans should ar
range plans for establishing new and more
potent government adapted to their peculiar
situations and opinions. 1t cannot alarm us
to discover the ablest men and the highest
public functionaries of chihuahua, Durango,
and Tamaulipas, pledging themselves by
oath to raise military force of sufficient
strength to resist all the power of Mexico
and the United States on both sides of the
river. But what has most astonished the
uninitiated. is the immense number of
TRAINS containing from one to three hundred
well-armed men, with families, journeying
to California, but invariably settling in Low
er New Mexico, Upper chihuahua, and So
nora. The United States Government
seems to have no knowledge of this move
ment X X X II X x y X
A few months more, and we will pray for
the United States to keep her troops at
home, lest they interfere with some of our
own matters. The chihuahua trade is worth
two millions per annum to Texas, and as
much to New Mexico. AT present, howev-
er, it is rapidly decaying, and becoming in
significant, because Of Indian depredations,
which the strongest trains cannot resist In
this way the merchants,,Of the country are
brought heart and hand into the revolution
airy movement, for by it their trade would
be secured"

In 1913 Gen. Cass was run for the Pres
dency as the friend of the South-soundon
the slavery question, so democrats told US
In proof of this they referred to the fact
that Martin Van Buren and the Freesoilers
would not support Cass. Well, in 1852,
Gen Pierce is the candidate for the Presi-
dency. Martin Van Buren, and those same
Freesoilers are now supporting Pierce
Why are they now supporting him? Must
it not be because he is Freesoil enough for
them? They wouldn't support Mr.. Cas-
he wasn't Freesoil enough for them. They
willingly support Gen Pierce, ergo, he Is
Freesoil enough for them. The reason of
this is plain enough General Pierce, Mar
tin Van Buren, and crew understand each
other Memphis Wig.

John Van Buren, and Judge Douglas,
Of Illinois, made speeches from the same
platform, the other day at Newburg, n. Y
This is what John Quincy Adams would
call the blending Of Ebony and Topaz.
E.uchaHge paper.
Judge Douglas is but following out his
own free-soil views. Two years AGO the
"Mississippian" denounced the Judge as
one of the worst enemies the South had,
because he voted and contcnded for the
Wilmot proviso. If memory serves right
that paper termed him as good freesoier
as the best Of the northern abolitioniSts.-
Since that period the "Mississippian" has
taken the back track upon many points,
and among others upon the merits of Judge
Douglas; but when we find the Judge aud
John Van Buren,, both advocating from the
same stump, the man who dcplores and
hates slavery. and loathes the fugitive slave
law, we conclude that the "MisSisSippian
of 1850 was right, and that both the speak.
ers are what they were then, good free.
soilers," and the South's worst enemies.

A HANDSOME SPECULATIoN.-Mr. New
ton Peters, an old and highly respectable
citizen Of Cooper county, Mo-, recently
made handsome speculation He started
from home with $500 head of sheep, dri-
wing them over the plains and through the
Mormon country to California. At Salt
Lake he sheared them and solo the wool for
s25OO, and on reaching California with
1000 of them in good condition, was offered
SIS per head for the lot, which he refused,
being sure of higher prices
