A Might Of Excitement.
From the Evansville Journal, August ]

From the Evansville Journal, August i5
About O'Clock last night the anxiety
that had existed in the city eliminated in
genuine alarm, by the arrival of a cour-
rier from Mount Vernon. announcing that
the guarrilas had appeared before Shaw
neetown, on Saturday evening, attempting
to cross on the bar.
The Shawneetown Artillery resisted
them successfully and drove them back.
They then passed down to Saline Mines.
four miles below, where it is said they
captured the Charmer and two other boats,
Supposed TO be the Carrie and Gem.
With the Charmer it is said they crossed
500 men to the Illinois shore.
Immediately after til, arrival Of this
courier, the alarm guns were fred. and At
once the Legion sprung to arms. Cur streets
swarming with men and bristling with
bayonets. As we have always predicted.
when the danger, that has been SO imni-
nent for several weeks, was made manifest,
our citizens responded with commendAble
promptitude. and within two hours at
least 1,500 men were under arms, rather
pleased than otherwise that they we've
promised an opportunity to have bcus
with the cowardly foe.
In addition to the Legion In the city.
cavalry and infantry came in in an incredi-
bly, short time into the city from the rural
districts. and quite little army was or
ganized. ..-f
We have been informed for some days
that the programme of the rebels was to
cross the river ct Shawneetown and capture
the cannon there. and then march to
Marion, Illinois. where they have been
promised two thousand men from the Sons
of Liberty, then march to Chicago and
indianapolis and libcrate and arm the rebel
prisoners at those places, and then COM
mence an indiseriminatc destruction and de-
yastation thro' the States Of Indiana aud
Illinois. We have not sufficient credulity
to swallow this story entire. as we think
the contract would be far too krge for
Adam Johns on or any other guerrilla chief
to carry out. n. =,
The arrangements for the protection Of
the city are ample. but Of course details
are contraband; yet We have no doubt
that the rebels will be fully advised OF
everything before morning. by their spies.

Need argue to en- intelligent people
that the. state of things recommended by
this document would inevitably lead to
! collisions and civil war, the end and
consequences of which no man can predict.
! While.it purports to be addressed to the
IeOple of the State generally. it is intend
ed for those only who belong to the
political organizations which its authors
assume to represent. ShOnld its
recommendations be followed, men
belonging to other political organizations
will feel their personal and political safety
endangered, and would be driven for
purposes of self defence to resort to similar
measures Tins we should have two or
more political parties in the State. armed
and organized into military bodies, and
al hopes of preventing collisions and
preserving peace and order would bo lost.
Military organizations must lie under the
supervision and control of the constituted
authorities of the State. All others are
illegal, unauthorized, and dangerous to
the public peace. The constitutional right
of the people to bear arms for their own
defense has not been and will not be
infripged. But this does not cover the
case or justify the formation of militars
organizations to hold the constituted
authorities in check under the pretcnce
that they are about to commit illegal or
unconstitutional acts. When we consider
that threats have already been made, in
various parts Of tha State, of resistance to
the execution of Federal authority, and
that the public mind is already in an
excited and feverish condition, it may well
he thought that these proposed military
purpose ami will be used in that way; and
this view is greatly strengthened by
reference to the preamble Of tie address.
| do. therefore, solemnly warn the peo-
pie OF the State against accepting the evil
counsel they have received; to abstain
from all military organizations looking, Gi-
rectly or indirectly, to resistance to Federal
or State authority; to abstain from all
schemes o'r,si. lance to the laws, and from
all organizations Or combinations, political
or military, tending to compromise them
in their allegiance and duty to the Govern
meAt of the United States. The men who
would inveigle them into such schemes or
combinations are powerless to protect
them against danger. and would undoubt-
edly be the first to desert them in a mo-
ment of peril.
In reference to the concluding part of
the address, it need only be said that the
execution of the Conscription Act, and
the assignment Of quotas of the States,
districts, counties. townships and cities
belong exclusively to the Federal, and not
10 the State authority, AMI that every ex.
ert;on has been and will be made by the
State authority to secure the correction OF
error, AMI see that full Justice is done 10
the State and every part thereof.

fence of their country. II these sights did
not drive sll the treason out of their
hearts, should des pair Of them and hand
them over to the devil TO deal with. am

Railing at Fairs.

Rev. DR.. Bellows and several other clergy
men of New York, shaving felt it their duty
to discountenance rafting" at Sanitary and
other Fairs, and published their conscientious
scruples in this respect, the fact has recalled
to the mind of Parker Pillsbury,-and he has
communicated it to the Evening Post a
rattle in New Orleans ten or twelve years ago,
one of the advertisements of which is now be-
fore him in the shape of a moderately large
handful.
The same advertisement was in the papers
of the Crescent City," and Mr.. Pillsbury
gives it at length. We have no room to copy
it, but the substance of it was that Mr.. Joseph
Jennings respectfully informed his friends,
&c, that, at the request of divers individuals he
had been induced to purchase "the celebrated
dark bay horse, Star, aged five years, square
trotter and warranted sound; with new
trotting buggy and harness. Also the dark,
stout, mulotto girl, "Snrah,r aged twenty
years, general house servant; valued at 5000
and guaranteed" These two pieces of prop
erty were to be ''rafied for at four o'clock p.
NJ" at the Hotel of the owner.
Then various suggestions are made, the
value Of the whole property stated, and the
rules Of the rattle specifed,-the "highest
throw to take the first choice, the lowest throw
the remaining prize, and the winners to pay
500 each for refreshments for the occasion"
Mr.. Pillsbury moralizes on this advertisement
on this wise:
We know how lone this form If ra ffi;na hoe
been common in half the country. The cler-
gy have known it, alas, too well. And had
they been more engaged long ago in its pre-
yention and suppression, instead of so gener-
ally apologizing for and defending it, we
could the more easily respect their tenderness
of conscience when rafiies of only ordinary
merchandise are proposed for the benefit Of
our brave soldiers, sick and disabled from the
terrible rigors of war.

Gen. Dow at City Hall.

In the annals of Portland there has never
been such a gathering Of the people on any
occasion, as there was last evening at the City
Hall to welcome Gen. Dow. The doors of
the hall were thrown open at 6 o'clock, and
although proceedings were not to commence
until half past seven, in half an hour the spa
cious hall, ante rooms and passage ways, were
solidly packed with human beings, and for an
hour more crowds were vending their way to
the hall, only to find when they arrived there
that it was impossible to obtain an entrance
So great was the crowd that it was with dif-
fculty the police forced passage way for the
entrance of the City Authorities with Gen.
Dow.
As the General proceeded from the Mayors
room, up stairs, he was greeted with cheers
by the crowd, which was unable to obtain
entrance into the hall. As he entered the
hall, the Camp Berry Band struck up " Hail
to the Chief,' and storm oil applause came
from the audience--the men cheering, and
cloud of handkerchiefs being waved by the
ladies, which lasted for some time.
The Mayor presided. and order being re-
stored, Rev. Mr.. Stebbns made the address
Of welcome, to which the General responded
in a speech Of about an hour and quarter in
duration, which was listened to with intense
interest and frequently greeted with applause.
We shall give no synopsis of either of the
speeches, as we intend tomorrow to give a
full report of both, taken phonographically
for us by J. d. Pulsifer, Esq.
At the close of Gen. BOWS remarks, upon
the proposition of the Mayor, three rousing
cheers were given him and the meeting then
broke up.
The Camp Berry Band, by their excellent
music, added much to the pleasure of the vast
meeting.
