q A terrible affray took place at New
Lisbon, Wis, on the 10th inst, in which q
violent Copperhcad named Bellinger, after M
being reproved by some, soldiers Of the Soth
Wisconsin regiment for abusing the Govern
ment and expressing sympathy for the rebel
lion on the street, defied them with loaded
pistol, and when they followed him, fired SIX
yolleys at them, killing one and severely
wounding three others. They finally caught
him in the bar-room of hotel, dragged him
into the street, and beat him to death. The
soldiers were all without arms and showed no
disposition to commit fatal injury on Bellin-
ger till he had fired on them. The Copper
head journals are endeavoring to make politi'
cal capital out Of the fact that the most Of the
men engaged in the affair wore the United
States uniform, and indulge in pitiable cries
against the outrages Of brutal soldiery. The
facts, however, show that the provocatior
was Of the, strongest nature, and the tragic
occurrence, however deeply to be- regretted
was perseveringly brought upon its victim BY

No DRAFT IN ILLINOIS Provost Marshal
General Fry informs Gov. Yates that the State
of Illinois stands credited upon the books of
the Adjutant General Of the Army, with an
excess of 44,e5l over all calls for troops in
1861, 1862, and in 1868 up to the 1lth day
of June. The quota of the State for the pres
ent draft is 367O0. The excess of troops
heretofore furnished by it over this quota, is
s,l51. There will, therefore, be no draft in
Illinois under the present call for troops, and
the number S,151 will stand 10 its credit in
the future demands of the General Govern
ment,

Senator Sulnner's Speech-DanEer
Of Nvnr with France and Eng

Senator SulmMer's Speech-DanEer
Of War with France and Eng
land.
The Hon. Charles Sumner, Of Massachu.
sets, Chairman Of the Committee on Foreign
Relations, and one of the most thoroughly
posted statesmen of the age on international
law, made a very elaborate speech at Cooper
Institute, in New York city, on the evening
of the 10th instant.
While his speech gives no very definite in
formation in regard to the prospects of foreign
Intervention, it is evident that he entertains
serious apprehensions Of intermeddling by
the governments of England and France, and
his speech seems intended as an appeal to
the public opinion of those countries to con-
troll the action of their rulers.
He fairly exposes the temper and desires of
the two great Naval Powers, points out the
great error committed, purposely or negli-
gently, by them in acknowledging the bellig-
erency Of the "Confederacy," proves that
Ocean 6elligeraney cannot exist without the
ability to condemn ocean captures as laseful
prize In prize court within the limits Of the
belligerant, demonstrates that the vessels car
rying the traitor flag are in fict mere pirates,
and that as matter Of fact, they are pratt
cal expeditions from England, having England
also as basis Of supply, and that England is
responsible for all injuries they inflict upon
u.s.
He also shows, and this may be considered
the great point in the speech the moral atroc-
ity Of any attempt on the part of England to
recognize the "Confederacy." He shows that
it will introduce nesu po,oer Of ne0 spe-
eiss into the family Of nations, and shows, by
abundant authority, that the recognition Of
power based on the cornerstone Of Slavery,
even if actually independent, ought never to
be made, because not fit to he made, that the
Thugs, and the Kingdom Of the Assassins,
had as good title to recognition as the traitors.
The address is timely. 1t will pass across the
Ocean and will give the English picture of
their past and present conduct not fattering
to their pride or honor. But it is true pic
ture. They will recognize its fidelity, and,
perhaps, yet redeem themselves from further
infamy.

gag The Howard Qnd) Tribune tells a
good story of an old lady named Woods, llv
ing near Greentown, who, having lost two
sons in the Union army, is rather less inclined
than she might otherwise be to tolerate dis
loyal demonstrations in her presence. As a
wagon load of Co2perheads were returning
from the Convention at Kokomo last Friday,
they passed Mrs. Woods house just as she
was carrying out bucket of "slop" to her
hogs. The Copperheads, looking straight at
her to show that they meant the demonstra-
ton for her, hurrahed for Vallandigham. She,
considering that the shout thrown out was
quite as filthy and good deal more disgraceful
than the slop in her bucket, concluded she
couldn't make more equal return than to
give them the '-slon,' and she did, throwing
the whole bucket full over them. The right
hogs got it. if those in the pen did lose their
supper. Any set of men who will insult a
woman, and especially one who has put her
own hearts blood into the cause of her coun.
try, by shouting for traitor, purposely to
annoy her, deserve dirtier dose than hog-slop.
