The Adjournment Of the Illinois Leg
iSIafura

The Senate of Illinois passed resolu-
ton on Monday last to adjourn sine die
"June 9Th, 1863" but the House amend
ed it by inserting "June 22d." The Sem
ate refused to concur: The House at
tempted to recall the resolution, but were
cut off by the adjournment of the Senate
The two houses were thus left at dead
lock, and no quorum being present in the
Senate after Monday, Governor Yates
prorogued the Legislature in accordance
with the following section of WITH Act
ofthe Constitution
"Sec. Is. In case of disagreement be-
tween the two Houses with respect to the
time of adjournment, the Governor shall
have power to adjourn the General AS
sembly to such time as he may think
proper, provided it be not beyond the
next Constitutional meeting of the same.
The infamous legislation which this
Legislature had in view has been nipped
in the bud, and their hands are tied for
ever. A loyal Legislature will succeed
them.

the Provost Guard, but we are of the

nation.
In German Township, we are told,
they beat the enrolling officer, and
threatened to take his life.
Prompt and vigorous measures will be
taken to bring these violators of law to

The RUSH COUNTY MURDER-ARREsr OF
SOME OF THE PARTIEs.-A portion of the
military sent to Rush county, on We'd
nesday night, returned yesterday after
noon, having in charge seven prisoners.
Two of them are almost directly impli-
Gated by strong circumstantial evidence
in the murder of Hon j. Frank Stevens,
Deputy Provost Marshal, and of Mr..
Craycraft, his Deputy. They are the
sons of the widow Hilligoss, of Rush
county, and were traced from their
mothers house to the place where the
shots were fired and back to the house
again One was detected from a hob
nail in his shoe. The shoe was obtained
and fitted in the track exactly, and the
hob nail impression on the ground
agreed perfectly with the position OF the
hob NAH on the shoe The other five
parties are implicated by strong suspi-
clous circumstances All are now CON
fined in our Jail.
Stevens was shot dead, seven balls en-
tering his body, FIVE of which have since
been extrated They were all rife balls,
and were all fired from one gun at one
shot
Craycraft was still alive last evening,
but there is no hope of his recovery
The enrolling officer, Hurst, ran from
the house as soon as the shots were fired,
to render what assistance he could, and
remained with Stevens until the arrival
of Provost Marshal McQuiston with
forces to make arrests.
Craycraft after being shot made out to
so Gu bis H f Sg 9d ah fire c at the to uT
drels, and then fell, apparently ifeless.
Another man who was along put spurs
to his horse and left Mr.. Hurst alone
with Stevens and Craycraft, instead of
remaining to render assistance Hurst
acted heroically, and deserves great
praise for his GOODNESS and bravery I'M

City improvements.

Our city fathers seem to have struck
on new idea as regards City improve
ments, and persons making improve
ments would do we'll to note the fact.
The alleys, instead of streets, are fast
being paved all through the city. The
streets must be intended for grain fields,
as Third street, from Walnut to Cherry,
has been MANFRED for three or four weeks
since, which will be spread in the fall
preparatory to blowing.
Persons building, would therefore do
we'll to front their stores or dwellings on
the alleys instead of the streets, as the
former will certainly be the only one
passible next winter. 1t is true that al
legs can only be used single file, or goose
fashion, but persons noticing the new
bouldered crossings on Main street will
at once observe that single file" is the
order of the day-they being very mar
row and high, afford better chance to
break vehicles and persons necks on a
sleety day, than for two to pass each
other
Why is it that we must forever suffer
that tad pole pond, that Internal ditch?
If poor man has lot on which the
water stands week, it is declared
nuisance, and he must fill it up, as is
right. But the canal, as it has been for
many years, is greater nuisance than
all others in the city together, and why
must we suffer it with impunity? If a
canal company cannot be made to keep
it in order within the city limits, let the
city do it at its own expense, or buy ii
from the elbow to the creek, and then fill
it up. The latter would be cheaper than
the bridges.
At present there'is but little protection
against fire to persons living across the
canal as there are but few bridges, il
any, over which it is safe to take the
steam fire engine.

From VICKsBURG.-The steamer St.
Cloud sent to Vicksburg in quest of sick
and wounded soldiers by the State of
Ohio, reached here on her return, Satur-
day afternoon. She took down large
quantity of Sanitary stores, and in that
respect accomplished great good.
But in consequence of the arrange
ments made by Gen. Grant, they failed
to obtain many of Ohio's brave sick and
wounded, having only about ten on
board.
She left Vicksburg on Sunday after

ken's Bend. From the passengers and
officers we gather the following particu-
lars of the fight
The rebels were Texan Rangers, and
attacked the negroes who were protected
by the levee, with great spirit, and were
met with like spirit by the Sable heroes
The negroes had trench along the
sue OF the IeYee, wnICu- Onp--l--L---
SEINE protection, but the rebels pressed
up to the very top of the levee and were
met by the Africans at times with club

number, whensthey retreated unders,pkO-
lection of the gunboats, which opened on
<zxor"e- sfrzr11 buck witt
heavy loss
Some of the passengers say they
counted 125 Union dead and Sc Rebels,
on the field, but the rebel loss was far
greater. In one spot five of the negroes
lay piled one upon another, and in an
other place six
One of the gentlemen counted thirty
dead in the trench, in as many yards.
The rebel dead and wounded were scat
tered back in the woods and had not
been gathered up when the St Cloud
left.
The regiment engaged on the Federal side
was the 9th Louisiana Corps d A frique =,
and was but recently organizrd, and but
