The Illinois RiOt.

The Chicago Tribune gives the follow
ing additional particulars of the ARRAY in
Cole county:
A little after three O'Clock P. M, while
Court was quietly in session, q man named
Nelson Wells suddenly fred on a soldier
in the court yard. As though this was a
preconcerted signal, the Copperheads in
the Court House and yard opened gen.
eral fire on Union men and soldiers with
revOlvers, making rush at the same time
to wagon where they had guns conceal
ed, and firing with these as fast as they
could ge- them.
The few soldiers present being taken
entirely by surprise, fought manfully with
their pistols, and scon the dead and
wounded were scattered around the public
square. The soldiers and Union citizens
ran for guns as soon as possible, but as
they returned the rebels were in full re-
treat, the whole affair thus far having Oc-
cupied but short time.
Col. Mitchell, of the 54th Illinois, was
without his revolver when it commenced.
While attempting to take pistol from
man he was shot by another man, the ball
striking his heavy gold watch and infict-
ing slight wound. Another man put
pistol to his back and would Lave killed
him had it not snapped. Still another
man was just about firing fatal shot at
him when soldier knocked him down
with a brickbat. The Colonel was shot at
a dozen times or more.
Maj. Shubal York, Surgeon of the 54th,
was shot dead while CALAMITY defending
himself.
Within an hour from the beginning of
the affair, Lieut. Col Chapman, with
portion of the 54th-about $50 men ar
rived from Nation, % miles distant, and
squads We're sent out after the retreatng
Copperheads. About thirty-fve of the
raiders were arrested during the evening
and following night, and are now here I'm
der guard.
They cut the telegraph east OF Charles
ton as they retreated. They met soldier
Levi Freisner, Go @, 54th-whom thsy
took prisoner at the command of John S.
O'Hair, sheriff Of Coles county, who was
at their head.
The soldier was retaken at daylight this
morning, and six rebels who were guard
ing him were captured The following is
a list of killed and wounded, SO far as
known:

A Just Tribute.

The Cincinnati Gazette, radical paper,
pays the following merited compliment TO
Gen. BUELL., one of the ablest, as we'll as
one of the worst abused men in the SER
vice:
If in our great armies the position of
Chief-of-St we're to be made such as the
organization of the army requires, the Sec
ond in rank and command to the General
M-Chief, with capacity to elaborate the
ideas of his chief into plans, and to order
all the movements to execute them, the
qualities to fill such position under the
Lieutenant General can be found in Gen
eral Buell.. His acknowledged military
ability, his talent for the organization, dis
cipline, care, supply and preservation of
an army, and his prudence and providence
would be an excellent support to General
Grants dashing enterprise. There is no
necessity that an officer of such admitted
military qualifications should remain I'M
employed in the war.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1864-04-08

tlemen it is my painful duty to commun;.
cate to you an order have received from
Gen. Winder provost Marshal of R;cb-
1nond), which will read" The order WOO
the n read, ordering Capt. Turner to select
by lot, two Federal Captains for immedi'
ate execution, in retaliation for the execn.
ton of two Confederate officers in Ken
lucky by Gen. Burnside.
The order having been read, it only re-
manned to decide who the lot should fall
upon, and Captain Turner asked the Union
oihcers to select person to draw the bal
lots as the name was called. After brief
silence Capt. Sawyer suggested Chaplain
IN the United States army, who was pres
ent. This was acceded to and the draw.
ing commenced. Nearly half the roll had
been called and neither of the fatal bal
lots had been drawn; but when the name
of Captain Henry W. Sawyer was drawn,
the ballot drawn responded Execution. "
The two victims were separated from their
cormades, and ordered to prepare for
death. The Richmond papers, in their
published accounts OF this scene, all agreed
in saying that Capt Sawyer met the trial
with unfaltering courage There was no
bravadO, no attectatiOn of recklessness.
but there was no faltering; only the
steady, calm courage of brave man; to
use the Captains own words, Gt we may
Go SO without improperly, he was deter
mined that New Jersey should have no
cause to be ashamed of his conduct.
We should have stated above that
shortly after being sentenced, Capt Saw
yer asked for respite sufficient to permit
his wife to visit him. This procured
respite for fifteen days. During this time
the Richmond papers clamored for the ex-
ecution OF the two Union officers, with
spirit worthy the bloodiest barbarlans. But
during the fifteen days the Government
had received information, and Gen Lee,
son of Gen. Robert E. Lee, and Captain
Wynder, son of the Richmond .jailor,
were ordered into close confinement IS
hostages for Sawyer and Flynn. This was
effectual, and it is hardly probable that
the rebel government, after that event,
ever really intended to carry their sentence
into effect. At all events, last week, Cap
tains Sawyer and Flynn were exchanged
for Lee and Winder, and both are now
safe.
Captain Sawyer, from long and close
confinement, and insufficient food (being
entirely without meat for the last forty
days OF his Imprisonment, is, OF course,
somewhat weak, but he is in good spirits
and hopes to reioin his regiment at an
early day.

Captain Sawyer In Trenton.

From the Trenton IN. j. American.
Captain Sawyer, of the First New Jer-
sey Cavalry, who has been prisoner in
the Libby Prison for nine months, arrived
in this city on Monday Captain Sawyer
was taken prisoner in the cavalry combat
at Brandy Station in June last. This was
the closest cavalry fight of the war. To-
ward the conclusion Captain Sawyer re-
ceived two wounds from pistol bullets, one
of which passed through his thigh, and the
other striking bis right cheek, passed out
at the back of the neck, on the left side of
the spine. Notwithstanding his wounds,
he still kept the saddle until his horse was
shot, when the latter sprang up in the air
and fell dead, throwing his rider with such
force as to render him insensib]e. When
he recovered consciousness, Capt Sawyer
saw Lieut. Colonel Broderick lying near
and crawled up to him, but on examination
found that he was dead. A short distance
further on he saw Major Shellmire, while
all around were men of his own or other
companies, either killed or wounded.
While by the side of Col. Broderick.
Capt. Sawyer was found by two rebel SOL
diers, who took him prisoner, and after
washing the blood from his face with
water from neighboring ditch, conveyed
him to the rear His wounds were pro-
nounced very dangerous, if not mortal,
but in few weeks he improved so much
that he was sent to Richmond and con-
fined in the Libby Prison. In that dismal
prison he remained until about a week
ago Early in July all the Captains who
were prisoners were assembled together in
a room by Capt. Turner, their jailor.
These officers did not, of course under
stand the object of this unusual proceed
ing, but supposed that it was in order that
they might be paroled. The reader can
judge of the painful surprise they expe-
rienced when Capt Turner said: "Gen-

WHEAT in Mankato last week was but
sixty five cents busllel, and unless pros
poets soon change for the better as regards
navigation this spring ON the Minnesota

would be soon all that would be paid For
