able en15 thrcngh the medium of the old
fssh1oIed stage coach, or upon horseback.
Il Is celebrated Tor its excellent Touring
mills, where the Eagle'' braud of -four is
Manufactured. An event In the history Of

General Logan never addresses a crowd
that be does not CART the sympathies Of hla

not worthy that kind. Of msttyrdom. This
Is true, to certain extent at least, In South
etn Illinois, where stt1l-fet them deny it II
they can-he ID the pet of the Democracy,
and the leader Of the Union party: His i'd
vocacy OF the claims OF Lincoln and Johason
has not lost him that place, nor should It, for
be Is corsdstent-it Is OILY the Copperheads
who SHOW their inconsistency By f51lo wing
the lead Of the McClelianites, leading, as theT
surely DO. to disunton md the eternal ruin
Of the country.
Preparations had been made here fer &C.

As resu1t, about one half the audience had
