AL really important military information by

The great interest in Congress, to-day, cen

over the late Senator Douglas. Mr., Trum
bulls speech vas exceedingly solemn, earnest
taste and effective. All the Senators immcdi-
ate1y put on heavy mourning badges. In the
House the eulogies By Richardson and Nc
C1ernand were carefully prepared. Mr.. Cox
of Ohio was eloquent. Mr.. Crittenden was
scarcely audible, though earnest in his praise.
Mr.. Arnold, Of The Chicago district, made bis
maiden speech, and his effort WAS most felicit-
Gus, closing with the declaration that Mr.
Douglas, could he return to earth, would

slaves, Was carried by 81 m?jority, showing

Just when We we're expecting most, in
the shape Of news from the Seat Of War,
we get least, under strict military cen
sorship Of the telegraph. Troops are still
crossing the Potomac, however, and an
adyance il no doubt contemplated on Ma
nassas Junction, in order to divert an
attack upon Gen Patterson; who, however,
was quietly located in Martinsburg, at last
accounts, and in receipt Of his reinforce
mcnts. The rebels are evidently appre-
hensive Of an attack on Manassas, and it
Is more tha n suspected that the flag Of truce
brought by Ce1onel Taylor was intended
to cover important dispatches to Beau1e-
gard from l;l- Washington spies The
hope failed Of success, and Col Taylor was
turned loose" where he least desired to

MyRterioup Murder near Chester. I'LL.

We learn from a passenger on the steamer
Memphis, from Cairo, Of an awful deed of
blood committed on the night OF Saturday,
near Chester, III. John DarWison, an old
nan who kept wood yard some distance be-
low Chester, had gorc to that town to make
purchases for his lamLy. Some Of his friends
fearing that his prolonged absence from home
betokened fon1 play set about searching dill.
gently for him, and discovered the spot where
he was doubt1essly assassinated, but tho body
was gore. ItEeems that Darwison WAS known
TO have started down a road On his way
home, ard that on both sides Of his path
there Is very dense underwood or brush.
On each side place had been cut out suf-
fcieut size to hold one MAJ and hare 1t Is sup
posed he assassins were eneconced. But the
victim before reaching the spot indicated ap.
pesrs to have taken side path leading to q
gully, and was Boon after shot through the
body. The impression cfthe fallen bodY Was
seen, and q lnrge quantity Of blood on each
side. 1t is believed from the evidence around
that the body WIS then dragged to the river
and thrown In. The object Of the supposed
assassination VAS not plunder, as the missing
mans watch was found on the ground, aud
some papers, IS if they had fallen from his
pocket while the body was being dragged
away. Some candy he had bought Was scat
tered along from the spot he fell to the gully.
It Is presumed in the neighborheod, that
this old man was murdered for revenge. a
man engaged in the same business was arrest
ed on suspicion ofbefng one Of the murderers
and men were in pursuit Of two other persons
who had fed. The three we're on bad terms
