An insurrsctiOn broke out in Russian
Poland in the second week in January.
Serious encounters between the Russian
troops and the insurgents have taken
place at Plock, Plousk, Radzit and Sic

The Russian Colonel Krolianpoff was
killed, and General Kanavich wounded,

Illinois Soldiers on the War


Very patriotic resolutions have re
Gently been adopted by the officers Of
the G2l Illinois regiment by II unani
nous vote. They declare that the war
which they "aro now wGging against
armed rebellion, has its foundation in
the principles fjuStioe and humanity"
that thoy will checrfully endure the
hardships and privations ofa soldiers
life, thinking it enough to be nccoun-
ted worthy place in the great army
now battleing for free Cover nment, IN
der the shadow Of the star spangled an
ner, and therefore they "denouncc the
wick cdnPss and baseness Of those citi-
zeps of the North who, by dislnyal
speeches aud otherwise, impart conf
dence aud hope to rebels in arms against
their Government, who encourage u =
ion soldiers to desert and threaten arm
ed resistance TO their recovery; and wi o
Wy lCSNCiSJ SpC'HhNo w hS'o NhuS"'o' w
promote disaffeelion in the army, the
last hope of the Nation; that VIC appe'
t. our fathers, our brothers and our
| friends at home TO diIcOuRtenlnce, op =
pose aud put down those base and inf =
nous wfctchcs who, while breathing tic
free air of Illinois, symra' il viii treO-
son and denounco the Government
which has given thcm peace and sNcuri'
ty, with liberty, from their childhood
now struggling a;mos in death agony,
and who, from motives ofambiIinn OF
for their own personal nggrandizcmcn
or advantage, would lend their aid, how
ever indirectly, to reduce Illinois to the
funhappy situation of these rebel South
ern States, the scat OF blighting anC
dcsolating war"
In conclusion, they resolve to follow
the flag wherever it may go, whether j
be in the sunny fields Of the South, o
against the miscreant, vile and perjure,
abettors of treason ia the North, AM
for the honor of that banner" the
pledge their lives, their property ant
sacred honor.

Horrible Discovery at Vicksburg.

A Vicksburg correspondent writes: a
horrible discovery has just been made on
the rebel line of Notifications. Quite a
number of men have been engaged in re-
pairing the rebel fort that was blown up
on the night Of the Sd inst. In the course
of their operations, they have exhGmed
sixty or eighty dead bodies found buried
in the ruins of the fort. 1t seems that
while our miners were at work making an
entry into the side of the hill that was
crowned by the rebel fort, strong work
ing party Of rebels were set to work sink
ing a counter mine within the fort. This
party, consisting, it is said, of more than
a hundred men, were in the mine when
ours exploded, and those of them VINO
were not killed outright were buried alive.
Some of the exhumed bodies are terribly
lacerated and mangled, while othere have
not mark or bruise upon them. Two
heads, one that of a negro, have been dug
up. They were completely severed from
the bodies, the latter not having yet been
found. The bodies are found IN almost
every conceivable position-some stand
ing erect, others sitting or lying, and in
one instance the body was head down
wards, as if it had been caught in that
position by the crumbling earth while fall.
ing headlong into the pit below.

Morgan himself was riding in a carriage
drawn by two white horses. Maj. Way
saw him, and gallopiEg up, reached for
him. Morgan jumped out at the other
side of the carriage, leaped over the fence,
seized horse, and galloped off as fast as
horsefesh, spurred by frightened heels,
could carry him. About a couple OF
hundred of his men succeeded in breaking
away, and following their fugitive leader.
In the buggy thus hastily = evacuated
by Morgan were found his rations," con-
sisting Of loaf of bread, some hard
boiled eggs, and bottle of ubisky.
Morgan and the remainder Of bis scat.
tered forces pressed three citizens OF Sd.
llnevllle into their service as guides, and
continued their flight on the New Lisbon
road. One OF the impressed guides made
his escape and rode back, conveying intel.
ligence Of the route taken, which it was
believed was with the ultimate design Of
reaching the Ohio river higher up. Forces
were Immediately dispatched from Wells
vile to head him off, whilst another force
followed hotly in his rear, and strong
militia force from New Lisbon came down
TO meet him.
About o'clock in the afternoon these
various detachments closed 10 around Nor.
gan in the vicinity of West Point, about
midway between New Lisbon and Wells

by lighting their way through, or leapine

The following letter will be read with
deep interest, as furnishing new confirms
ton of the already well established vii.
lsiny of the rebel leaders: s. g
Mr.. EDITOR: The conspiracy to over
throw our Governments, which has in
volved Us in this terrible war, so disas-
trous to our portion Of the country, ought
to be established by proofs so conclusive.
that its existence will never be called in
question. Let posterity know the guilty
authors Of all this mischief. They should
not be allowed to divide the blame with
any body else.
To render their memory still justly exc
Grated, a record should be preserved, as
far as practicable, of their barbarities and
outrages in prosecuting the war. In both
points of view, | ask you to publish the
enclosed letter from Mr.. Alfred Hoss. a
gentleman of East Tennessee, of cultiva-
ton, Intelligence and entire reliability.
The letter establishes two facts:
l. That prior TO the election of 1860,
the plan OF attack upon the Government,
substantially as afterwards carried into ex-
ecution, was probably revealed and de-
nounced by party having abundant op-
portlnity to know it. His name, given in
the letter, you will please withhold, as l
understand he has once been imprisoned
by the rebels, and may now be in their
power.
2. 1t has been charged, on the authori-
ty of an officer in the rebel service, that
on the eve Of the battle of Stones River,
Bishop Polk harangued his men, and more
than intimated willingness to have them
murder the prisoners they might take in
the coming fight.
Mr.. Hoss shows that after the battle, one
Of the soldiers was declaring his intention
to adopt that course in his own future op-
erations, and referring to the Reverend
Bishop as authority for his conduct.

SUBSTITUTES for drafted men continue to
offer themselves at the East at rates vary
ing from $50 to 5000.
Why is it that substitutes can be had at
rates like these? No such terms could be
obtained under the other draft. The an
swer seems plain to US: 1t is because the
offer of the Government to furnish them
at $500 each, has broken up speculation
and kept down prices. In the South,
where no such protection exists, the con-
SCRIPT has to pay whatever is charged by
substitutes, who, by combination, run pri-
ces up IS high as $4,000 and $4,000 each.
Now, will some one tell Us, wherein the
poor man conscripted is injured by the
Federal law? Which would suffer NO c
from high rates tor substitutes, the poor
man or the rich one?
If people will give the Law a fair trial,
instead of listening to the clamor of dema-
gogues, they and the country will be better
