When the intelligence Of the attack on Fort
umter was arIlounced, we published the account
in an extra JOURNAL, and circulated it through
this whole sectian of country in advance OF any
other newspaper. We then became member
Nf the Associated Press, aud as such are entitled
to all the news telcgraphc dispatches passing
%pvsr the wires. Far more than two weeks We
haSe received these dispatches, and have had
the intelligence published every morning ex-
cept Sundays, by or o'clock, and sent it 10

of Charge aHd have given our extras away TO all
wbe have called at our office for them.
The expense 70 us for publishing these extras
for rnaath will not be less than $l2j. The
work is all done at night, between 8 O'Clock in
the eveRlng aad 6 o'clock ia the morning. We
trust entirely to the generosity of the people
who receive and read them, to reimburse us. 1t
would be no more than right, and we trust our
friends will see that we lose nothing in this un-
undertaking. We suggest that in every neigh

lwhere they have not already done SOY make a
collection forO our benefit and send or bring it to
us- We shall print the extras for two weeks yet,
and at the end of that time if we have not lost
two much shall continue to do 80 longer. We
are desiTeus to give the people the news at the
earliest possible moment after it has been recei-
we'd, and we feel confident that our efforts to do
90 will be fully appreciated by the public
With this statement we leave the case in the

Lieut.. WHITING, of Camp Goodell, called
upon us on Monday, and made the follow
ing statement. We publish it in simple
justice to him. as, even before he left
town, different and as he AYERS, entirely
false version was afloat on the streets.
He had been at La Sale on q recruiting
trip, and with some recruits was on his
way back to Joliet. While the cars had
stopped at Ottawa, some of his men, to.
gether with some men belonging to a
Geneseo company on board, stepped out
OF the cars, and, while waiting commenced
in playful way, to jostlc each other, until
one of the Geneseo men pushed one of
his cit. W.'s) men against window of
the depot building, breaking q Light
This hugely incsnsed Morse, the ticket
agent, who demanded pay for the broken
light. The Geneseo man was about to
pay him, when the cars started and he
was obliged to jump aboard. Meantime
1t w. had stepped into the depot build
ing to ascertain what the fuss was about,
when Morse rushed in, and, with the as
sistance of some bystanders, closed the
doors against his esress until he paid for
the light. It. w. threw him gold dol
lar (the demand was only % cents) and
without waiting for change demanded his
exit. 1t was granted however, too late to
enable him to regain the cars, and he was
thus separated from his men, and obliged
to lay over at Ottawa ten or twelve hours
for another train.

DEATH OF ANOTHER RETURNED SOLDIER
Thos Bristol, yonng man employed for
the last year or two in the office, and
relative of Geo. Bristol, of this city, and
who had enlisted in one of the companies
in the Joliet regiment, was taken SO Sc
riously sick in camp at Joliet, some two
weeks ago, that he was sent to his friends
in Ottawa for better care than could be
afforded by the camp hospital His dis
ease was typhoid fever, complicated with
a severe attack of the mumps. He was
manifestly beyond recovery when he ar
rived at Ottawa. He fingered few days,
and died on Sunday night. His remains
were, on Monday, conveyed to Newark,
Kendall Co, for burial He was an esti-
mable young mau-under 30 years of age
with no near relative living except a
sister, to whom his loss is an inconceiyable
afiiiction.
