Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Ttibune.1
TEEEr uACzE, Fcb. &. 1854.
The rebels in Edgar County, Ill, seem to
hare the ability and means to create disturb
anees and produce mischief periodically. On
last evening quite an army Of them, number
Ing some four or fire hundred men, were as-
ecmb1cd near Paris for the purpose Of taking
the town, or rather for the purpose of burn
ing and pillaging It. They hail from Whit is
known rs the Big Creek country, and arc q
desperate set Of outlaws and scoundrela. It
seems they are led By u men they call Pow
der Horn, and that lie is eounseled In his
strategetica1 movements By Amos Green Of
Fnris. The character Of the grievance which
has called them to arms we hive not been
able to. learn. One statement, however, is
that the copperheads Of Paris were afraid that
some returning veterans would mob the
Standard Office, and that Amos Green Organ
lied this a1my to protect 1t and to maintain
the laws In his department.
Another statement is that the trouble waa
occasioned By the difficulty which occurred
at Mattoou few days since, in which Judge
Constable Was made to take the oath Of allie
glance, this force being called into the field
to Geek indemnity for the past md security
for the future Which statement Ia correct,
or whether either is correct or not, we do
not know. It is certain, however, that
force as aooSe Stated, Of these outlaws and
eeoundrels were on yesterday In the vicinity
OF Paras, armed and equipped, and bearing
with them two pieces Of artillery. They are
Peace Democrats, at peace With Southern
rebels, but at war with Northern Union men.
