THE RAFTsMAN's JOURNAL,

The Cincinnati Gdsette says: Times are
getting warm for persons dsloyal. and per-
sons suspected of disloyalty, on both sides of
The river above. A letter we publish from
Ripley gives some particulars. In the town
of Dover, the unconditional Union men got
together, declared martial law on their own
responsibility, and appointed Provost Mar
shal. This caused the Secessionists to make
tracks for more congenial climate. They
tried to hedge by bawlng "Abolitionist,"
but they found that dodge had been played
out. The late raids have given the Union
men very large supply of back bone. The
line between loyalty and dsloyalty is being
distinctly drawn and matters are so fixed that
there is no place left for neutrals.

Chicago was thrown into state Of great
excitement Wednesday night, 10y report of
stampede among the prisoners at Camp
Douglas. There are we believe, fifteen thou
sand rebels there. Several escaped the
occasion referred to and the Chicago peo-
pie are urging the formation of a home guard
to protect the city. The proximity of such a
large body Of rebels even prisoners, sug
gests the necessity Of a large military organi
Zation.

ground. He had the rcins in bis hand at the
time the electric fluid struck him, and never
