While speaking at McLesnsboro, 10
this State, on the 26lh. General John A .
Logan was interrupted by some copper
heads present. The General retorted.
whereupon the copperheads most infa.
mously insulted him. They were then
tod by General Logan "thst he would
allow no man to insult him and if such
a thing was attempted he would blow
their Internal brains out" This effect.
ually checked further impertinence until
the close of the meetin1 in the afternoon.
A correspondent says:
"At night the streets of the town were
filed with more people than we're before
seen in the night time in this towp.-
While vast procession carrying torch
lights, transpsrencies and banners, head
ed by band of music, was marching
through the streets, it was assailed BY
set of cowardly Internal wretches with
stones and other missiles, and a number
of persons seriously injured, but without,
in the least, breaking up the procession.
"After parading the streets for an hour
or more. the people assembled again, and
were addressed by General Hayuie and
Marshal Phillips, who literally Aayed
the copperheads. amid showers of stones
hurled by cowardly and scoundrelly trai-
tors from the surrounding darkness. Two
or three ladies we're struck, and one of
them Mrs. Sharp, most seriously wound
ed. The speakers denounced the wretches
In unmeasured terms, and defed and dared
them to an open fight.
Logan aud the speakers remained on the
ground awaiting an attack. and if it had
been made more copperhead funerals
would have been seen on the following
day than ever before in McLeansboro.
The hell-inspired brutal violence shown
here by the followers of Sam. s. Marshall,
Q citizen of this town, has eternally dis.
graced him, aud made hundreds of votes
for the Union ticket. The canvass now
being made by General Logan and others
in this portion of Illinois is the most ex-
tTanrdinary ever made in the Northern
States. II is being made amid threats OF
murder, assassination and violence. But
the day of doom and damna,ion approach.
es. General Logan is doing greater SER
vice fur his country than when he aiding.

The letter reflects credit upon the head

hope that some of the Irishmen who are

carefully-it will do them good, as Mr.
Conness is an Irishman himself, and a no

the old battles Of the Revolution are now

did not wonder that they had wished to gel
rid of New England. She has been the

science-keepers are never popular. Blu.
where Southern blood enigrated. there was
To- be found ignorance and sympathy with

lander patriots, who fought against all
Spain and Rome, coming to New York
tagain to vote with the Knickerb ockers for
liberty and Union. He thought he could
see the old Cromwellian heroes voting over
the prairies Of the West, as they had done
in New England.
The speaker glanced at the progress
which has been made in the war, and saw
abundant reason for thanksgiving therein.
He regarded the fact of our having been
unmolested by foreign powers as dispen-
sation OF providence, and thought we should
even give thanks for our large and increas-
ing public debt, which. unlike that Of Eng
land, had been contracted in the cause of
Liberty and the preservation Of our Gov
eminent. He considered the fact Of the
American people voting for the pursuance
OF the war. consequently the increase Of
their debt, as one OF the most imposing and
noble spectacles recorded by history, and
concluded by fervently imploring the di-
vine blessing upon our armies, and the
widows and orphans at home, and Offering
thanks for the prosperity we have already
enjoyed. The sermon was listened to with
marked attention throughout, and there
seemed to be general feeling Of regret ~
