TuE BRAVE a,Tu ILLINOIS.

By a special dispatch which appears in
this paper it will be seen that the 9th Hi.
nois volunteers were in the terrible battle Of
Pea Ridge. Two companies from this county
are in that regimcnt-Capt. Curtis's and
Capt. Frick's. The list of killed and wound.
ell in Capt. Curtis's company numbers 10 !!
This is almost unparalleled, and shows how
terrible must have been the fight, and that
our boys were in a most exposed position
Five Of our men, in one company, dead on the
field, two dangerously wounded, ten seriously
wounded, and thirteen slightly wounded, and
among them their brave and heroic captain.
The brave boys Of that company deserve the
especial admiration of our people, while the
mourning friends Of the dead should receive
our kindest sympathy.
Capt. Curtis will be here IN very few
days, and he can then furnish our people all
the information they will require.
The list for Capt. Frick's company is not
yet recevcd-nor do we know positively that
his company was engaged in the battle.
\. b. No details Of the battle Of the 9Th
have been received Capt. Curtis had only l6
men fit for duty, and they were led into the
battle by lst Lieut.. Charles ". Halves. Who

crisis was prccipitated upon the country, par
tlsan strife between wings and democrats was
quite a. bitter and relentless as now between
democrats aud republicans. The gulf which
separated party leaders in those DAYS, was
quite as broad and deep as that which now
separates the democracy and the republicans
but the moment an enemy arose in our midst

that during this eventfu period the great

government, and became its ablest and BRAY

conspiracy was crushed, when they returned
to their former positions as party leaders up

RELIGIou- INTEREST AZ EDUINGToS.-An
unusual religious interest has been exhibited
in Edgington aud vicinity, during the past
fall and present winter, principally in meet.
ings Of the baptist congregation. During this
season about loo persons have joined that
church. Within little over two years past,
some very important changes have been made
in the religious character of the community,
in this portion Of the county. The baptist
church, within that time, has increased from
II members to 30. Tho methodist and old
and new school presbyterian churches have
also had some measure OF prosperity. This
religious interest is Of such character ~ TO
materially affect the social interests of the
country for the better; ~ those who have
lately proIe--cl christianity are generally of
the substantial aud most interesting class of
the community. The majority If them are
middle aged people. An unusual small pro.
portion oi the late converts are young people
This state Of affairs has not been the result
81 nasty ana lIlph'hhcu excitement, 50 TAR as
we are able to see. Though this may have
been the case with,a very few individuals. 1t
/ is thought by those who occupy neutral
ground, that the majority have thoughtfuiy
examined the claims of christianity, and
have embraced it in the exercise of their mos,
candid Judgment. This interest, in very
strong degree, still exists, and there are signs
Of its lengthy continuance, Bsf3"
