The susscIIVIIIc Murders.

Our town, about noon to- day, was
thrown into the greatest state of excite
ment by the preparation of one of the
coldest- blooded murders that ever dis
graced the annals of time. Capt. James
Morrow, of the 9Th Kentucky Cavalry,
and First Lieutenant VIM Burgher, Oath
Regiment Kentucky Volunteers, and
Lieutenant Sterling, in conversation in
town this morning, were heard TO say
they would raise company in a few
days for the 8th Kentucky Cavalry, when
there is no doubt a plan was entered into
TO assassinate them. About IL o'clock
Bassett, the operator, removed his battery
from the telegraph office. About one
o'clock the sad tragedy occurred which
resulted in the instant death Of Lieut..
Burgher aud the mortal wounding, we
fear of Captain Morrow. Captain M,
and Lieut.. b, had gone to the stable Of
George w. Grey, who is a hotel keeper,
20 get "rebel horse said TO be con-
traband,' when Grey and two or three
associates in crime and yillainy, who by
some mysterious chance all met there on
tho instant commenced firing on Captain
Morrow and Lieutenant Burgher, shoot
ing the latter from behind when we had
no notice that an enemy was near three
shots taking effect, two Of which would
have proved fatal. Grey first shot at
Morrow and missed him, when NJ drew
his pistol and fred once, the ball strik-
ing Gray somewhere about the breast
aud glancing around, when Bassett fired
upon Captain NJ, breaking his right arm
near the shoulder, wholly disarming him.
Then John Stephens, who recently kill
ed Union soldier at Bowling Green be-
gan. How often they fired is not def
nitely known, but from ten TO fifteen
rounds, Captain Nj, shooting but once
Captain NJ. is literally shot all over, be.
ing wounded IN five different places, two
of which are very dangerous, and all of
which, but one, We're inflicted after his
| pistol had fallen from his hand, by the
| cowardly assassans who got between him
| and the stable door. There were others
| engaged in the hollish plot whose names
| we have not yet been able TO obtain, four
of them escaped, and there was no effort
| made by any one 10 have them arrested
but good deal OF assistance given them
/ 10 get away Stephens, i'm conversation
/ with Captain M, few minutes before,
I pretended to be a good friend and Union
man, Colonel Bristow has since reached
here with a portion Of the Fifty fourth
Regiment and at once made several ar
rests Indeed, the whole town may be
considered under arrest The loyal men
now feel sure of defence, and the rebels
look an at ease. Look out for visitors
from this place to your Hotel de billiard.

Some problems solve themselves, or
rather time, the wonder worker, the phi
losopher, solves them. 1t is said that TO
save labor, TALLEYRAND used to put all
his correspondence aside for a month,
and he found that Father Time answered
most Of his letters, and saved him the
trouble and expense of a secretary.
That riddle Of the Sphynx, slavery,
which has dragged so many souls
ITO death and deadly uisht,"
and which has as yet found no mdipus 10
unrayel it, perhaps may best be solved
by tine and the chances Of war. Lot us
wage this war honestly, Gcrcely, I'M
tiringly, increasingly, resolved TO strike
unsparingly at every agency, instrument
and help Of the rebellion, and Providence,
which has guided this nation hitherto,
will in his own good way and time settle
this vcxed question, There is no pro-
liability that the obstinacy of the rebols
will leave any part Of the problem TO be
eliminated at the close of the war.

The Great War Meeting in Chicago.
IIoeRty thousand Persons preSnt-Speecbes
from Three Stands at Once Great In
Husidsu1.



Chicago, during Saturday afternoon
and evening, witnessed the second up.
rising of our patriotic people since the
new call for volunteers The meeting
was the Board of Trades own or rather
that patriotic and efficient organization
is entitled to large share of the credit
that attaches TO the principal managers Of
the monster meeting. The call for the
meeting had not been long out and the
arrangements were not very elaborate
but the result showed that the people
are fully awakened and terribly in ear
nest AT noon the bells were all rung,
and the guns sent forth their thunder
By two o'clock the Court House Square
and the streets leading to that spacious
enclosure were densely packed with peo-
pie. But one spirit seemed to agitate the
vast assCmblage and when the music
began at the various stands where the
speakers were, there was tremendous
rush, and when the speaking commenced
there was breathless silence throughout
all the mighty mass And there was no
slackening Of the popular attention or
lcssening Of interest while the speaking
continued. Al each of the three stands
there was crowd, which Of ITSELF was
monster mass meeting. The sun was
blazing and the heat intense but the cx-
cited multiudcs stood through IL all I;
and the applause which followed the ut.
tcrance Of each patriotic sentiment and
every pointed sentence, was proof suill-
cicnt that our people do not despond-
that they will never give up the struggle
while a rebel treads the soil Of the ma
ton, The speeches were mostly appro-
pirate and effective. The best evidence
that they met the expectations Of the
public, is that as early as three o'clock,
p. NJ, Lake and South Water streets were
as deserted as II il were Sunday; the
docks and wharyes and railroad dcpots
bore the appearance Of entire desertion,
North side and West side stores were
closed, and flags and banners were out.
The subscriptions for war purposes by
the Chicago Board Of Trade have reached
S33,67l.
