The announcement that Major General
.bhn A Logan is to speak On the war to
i C11ica4o audience this evening in the
tpurt n3usc Square, is sufficient Of itself
II guarantee 1hat no loyal man will viii
lagly baabscnt. The hour, the theme, and
t:r mai will cause the gathering to be one
o!the 1aigcst ever assembled in the city to
Ateu to the voice Of a single speaker. Gen.
logan is IN earnest man, and believes this
ear tobc in earnest. Hc believes the en-
sppies Of tile Union, North us well as South,
- equally in earnest for its destruction.
0these duties and dangers he VIII speak
nriglt, and his words will have the added
Tght Of being uttered By one Of the bray
estnd most energetic Of our Federal Com
nslczs.

lisa significant fact that the leaders Of
the rebellion, are suddenly growing sick

to hae departed this life. We only hope
lie nil not turn up in Europe IN sound

looking badly. Floyd and Pryor are not
expected to live, and JEFF Davis Is "walk-
