Horse fThieE Taken-Stolen
Horses Recovered.

Three stolen horses, two the property Of
R. A. Klboum and o@e owned by L. Nj.
Okey Of Cassyille, were recovered and one
Of the thieves taken at Potosi and brought
to Lancaster jail on Thursday last BY P.
Darcy, constable of Potosi-the reward
offered for thieves and horses being sl00,
Of which amount Darcy viii get but s75
or $50, as one Of the thieves escaped.
The circumstances have been related to
us as follows: the horses and thieves were
traced to Masseyville, near the Mississippi,
town of Potosi by Okey, Elwell, Gleason,
Grooms, McCartneys and Others of Cass-
vile. The thieves forded OF swan Grant
River on their way toward Galena, and
fastened on their way, coming into Rotosi
in the dark and without knowing they were
to pass through large town on their route.
But the news had preceded the thieves, and
anumber of citizens were prepared for them
along the road leading from Waterloo
more however on horseback ready for a
chase but Darcy. Presently, along came
the thieves with stolen borses-eitizens in
the brush on either side ofthe road thieves
were allowed to advance near enough to be
in sight Of town. The signal WIS given
for scouts to gather in, and in moment
thieves and horses were surrounded; one
surrendered at once-the other broke on
Kilbourn's horse-Darcey after him, and
succeeded in making his escape, but not
until fired upon twice from Darcey's pistol !;
thief tried to return fire but bis ammuni-
ton being wet doubtless, it failed; Darcy
is unable to say whether either shot took
effect, but at the last fire, thief left the
horse, broke and run through the brush.
All this happened on Wednesday night,
about o'clock of last week The captur-
ed thief says his name is Anderson, and
that the fugitiye's name is Brown-both
names doubtless fictitious; the latter is no
doubt desperate character; Anderson Is
but youth. about ID years Of age and is
in jail. The examination was before JUS
ti,e Seaton; recognizance $500.

Union Saving It shu1lsburg.

Jim Earnest, Murphy & Co. held a
meeting at Shullsburgh on Saturday last,
to save the Union BY adopting Union res
olutions, making peace and harmony flap
jacks and talking concession and forbear-
ancc-all to stop the war. We learn there
are plenty Of men in Lafayette county just
simple enough to believe that jim Earnest
is earnestly patriotic, and that tie same
old Union salve which Douglas cast aside
just before his demise may still be earnest
u supplied by Jim Earnest for the suppur-
alton and salvation of our glorious lacer-
ated Union. We most afectionately ard
sincerelys commend the sham patriotic
Earnest, Murphy & Co, to march down
South with their peace and Union flag; let
them take along their pence prayers and
harmony twattle, their soothing syrups,
fraternal juleps and soldering eordials; let
them march orderly and well behaved with
their peace lading, down South pretty
well doWa, say TO Memphis; and if any
one Of said Earnest men escapes the halter
or impressment into jeff Davis army, we'll
agree TO stand treat for all Lafayette Coun-
ty! We say again, let them 60 down
South where they have so often told the
abolitionists to go and preach negro equal
itY, and if said fre-eaters fail to treat said
Earnest, Murphy u Co, as abolitonists,
then we'll stand treat again. But who
wouldn't suffer and bleed and endure hemp
and tar, feathers and head-shaying for his
country and the Unionl Surely all good
Earnest men would suffer all these and
more. All, Jim, these rebels don't want
The Union saved! Your peace measures
are just what they want agitated in the
North, and precisely what they don't want
agitated in the South-so you are doing
Just the work traitors would have you do;
they would have anything but war feel
inc in the North, and anything under heav-
en- but a Union feeling in the South you
cannot reach the South to beget q Union
feeling but yon can help smother the war
feeling in your own neighbofhos and
with plenty Of help you could smother this
war feeling all over the North-thus EN-.
boldening the South thereby an. helping
secession. Jim Earnest, God designed you
for pretty much Of a man-respectable tai
ents, energy, wit, fox-cunning and sagaeity !;
but some time ago He allowed Satan to
exchange The mau within for a demagogue,
and has since allowed you to auctioueer
just such wares as the old scratch deals in
Come home jim, resolve to be an honest
patriot and once moro clothe thyself in
robes ofuprightness. Then sit in the coun-
sells Of wise men and patriots along with
Cas-, Butler, Dickinson and spirit Of Doug

GEA letter from gentleman at Pate

CT A letter from gentleman at Patch
Grove, dated June 18th, informs US that
crops promise vel, especially wheat and
oats, and if prices promised as well be
thinks the country could not come to want.
The several men who enlisted from Patch
Grove in Prairie du Chen Company
have gone with their company to Madison.
The Good TempIats are doinga good work
about Patch Grove, the only place in the
whole country says the writer which har-
bols anybody moan enough to send bogus
marriage notices to printers, with the
forged names If ministers Of the gospel
signed thereto. At the date Of letter,
wheat was worth but 40 10 So cents, at
Bridgeport, and many We're delivering their
grain at such prices, rather than await flu

Of sympathisers all over the city and State,
collected and proceeded several hundred
strong straight to MitchelPs Bank; the
Mayor was present but failed to be heard;
Mitchell was there but attracted no atten-
ton. The mob were impelled forward by
those in the rear; Bank windows We're
smashed, doors shivered, stones flew, and
som every movable thing within was
broken or torn and carried into the street
and burned-including the books, blanks,

the State Bank and also Quilted and burned
the interals Of that; afterwards, the New

and succeeded in silencing the mob, arrest

We learn from street rumor at Boscobel,
Tuesday, that the mob resumed work IN

that fosm companies OF troops went from

Developments Of the Seized Tel.
grams.


The Washington correspondent of the
N. 7 Times says that the developments
that are likely to follow the seizure Of the
dispatches fled in the telegraph offices
will astound the country. They will show
a system of treachery extending through
all grades Of official business and social cir
cIes. Almost everybody appears to have
been engaged m giving aid and comfort to
the rebels, and to have furnished means
and information for securing a triumph Of
the rebellion. Members Of Congress from
free States figure frequently among these
flashes Of intelligence. Representatives
from New York city, some Of whom are
now seeking commissions in the Federal
army. did their full share in giving infor-
nation and Geographic encouragement to
the rebel leaders then engaged in rushing
their States into the vortex Of secession
Reporters for Northern freesoiI papers
handed into hetelegraph Office the knowl-
edge they had obtained through their free
soil profession. Even the members nf the
Peace Congress, and some from free Sites,
held out words of encouragement to the rebel
leaders, that if they would keep up the fire
they would break the freesoiiers down. -
Several Of the members OF that Conyentim
from the Border States gave regular reports
Of its proceedings to the rebels, while at the
same time they were insisting that the pro-
ceeaings should be kept from the Northern
press and public.

Gg-Ths following from a correspondent
Of Cincinnati paper shows how aud why
tie public are misled BY telegraphic des-
patches:
The New York reporters tell me that
the censor Who sis in the telegraphic Office
here, and regises all dispatches, i making
awful work with their "news." If they
happen to get the facts about movement,
the despatch becomes contraband Of war,
and is confiscated. If the matter is utterly
erroneous, il passes frssly.

The darkest and infernalest part Of the
bankers consisted in an evident plot to swim

Saturday, the Bankers had been paying
out but little other paper than that Of these
ten Banks; the laborers about Milwaukee
and the soldiers at Madison had been paid
