BODY FOUND AT SwANToN.- .Susptc-
ioas Circumstances. The Manchester IN.
H.) Miwor, is informed that the body Of a
man apparently 40 years of age, and weigh
in about $50 pounds, was found in the Mis-
sisqui river at Swanton,o on Tuesday evening
Of i@ot '~oel- Nth the skull and two ribs
broken, and one leg torn off at the knee.
Two men,-named Hogle, and Lawrence,
were getting float wood out of the river, and
seeing the body, which was entirely naked,
supposed it to be the stomach of an OK, and
were about to leave it, but finally raised it
out of the water with their pike-poles. There
was no one missing in that neighborhood,
and no one was able to recognize the body.
Whether the deceased was manged by the
ice and rocks in the swift current, or was
murdered, our informant, who left Swanton
yesterday, is unable to tell. No inquest was
held by any coroner. The body was buried
Wednesday, by Mr. Blake, Chairman of the
Board of Selectmen of Swanton. The man
was about feet and 10 inches high, feshy
and good looking, and not of the description
to be guilty of suicide.

SECESSION IL ILL1NoIs.-The Evansville (Ind J

May 20, which says;
This is an awful place, and full of secessonists
Yesterday they closed up the printing Office and
made the editor leave simply because he was for
the Union. We are looking every day for regi-
ment of men from Cairo to put this thing down.
The streets are at this time full of men, generally
drunk, and "hoowing" for jeff Davis and the
Southern Confederacy. A few days ago party
organized here and went South to fight for the
rebels. A company of Secessionists is now in the
square cutting down the Douglas pole. This beats
any thing ever expected to see in Northern
State"
We have the best reasons to know that so far
from being "united North" there are thousands
of good true and brave men in Indiana and Illi-
nois who believe the South is right, and are dspos-
ed to stand by her and they will soon make them
selves heard and falt.-Loaisr(lle Courier.

Ordered, That all citizens of the of Wilmington

apply to all persons whether born in the North or

northern men, but for all It would be we'll for
every southern community to follow the example

in traitorous conduct, don't send him North, but
put him in Jail or in a Pententiary or send him
to the Forts to work.
Some, who have been allowed to leave the State
and go North have since viliied and misrepsesent-

them from punishment. This was the case with

An OLD LETTER.-A friend has placed in our
possession copy of letter written on the 25th
June, 1775 by John Butler of Orange county, N
c., to his BROTHER from which we make the follow
ing extract:
The proposals of King and Parliament have been
sent to the assemblies of the different Colonies
and been rejected by every assembly before whom they
have been laid. The proposals in substance
follows, to-wit That if the Colonies will them
selves with sum yearly or from time to time they
the King and Parliament, shall think proper; and the
sum is to be such the King and both Houses of Par
Lament shall say is enoughin that he will tu-
bid to lay further taxes So long the Colonies
shall continue to do
The people of New England have taken into their
possession Crown Point and Ticonderoga, which has
made them master of the passages from Canada to
New England. They find in the forts two hundred
pieces of cannon ard other warlike stores, have
the Kings prisoners TO Hartford in Connecticut
The people of New York have determined prevent
soldiers be sent there frcm making any fortifca-
tons"
While the Yankees are abusing the Southern
people for taking possession Of the Forts and
Arsenals, it will be seen by this letter that they
did the same thing at the commencement of the
Revolutionary wal, not having any scruples about
doing an act that was to nure to their own benefit.
The proposition mentioned as having been made
by the King and Parliament to the American
Colonies we do not recollect to have seen alluded
to elsewhere
