Tie Relics OF the lnte Coles County
Murders.

mur0eF84
The Mattoon Gasstte Of the 9th which has
just come to hand, is q genuine war paper,
and We quote from it few items relative to
the late Copperhead murders in that county,
and the feeling Of the people:
LOYAL MES IN NO DAAGER.-Layal men
from the connt1y need have no fears Of injury
when they comc to trade in Mattoon. None
but cut throat rebels are In danger.
The abolltionistH Of Mattoon were not. VIC
Town, Of our special reporter, whom we had sent
recent difficulties in that vicinity. We s6onid think
not. They do not Of course desire TINT the ezact
5 nd1ss n mob
ists ot Nation ought to, and will live In history
-C1ie0go 7ffnes.
The liar Of the Times is correct In part.
The reporter Of that paper was hunted, from
the moment he was believed to be in town.
as an emiesa1y from Jc1. Davis would have
been, and it was only through his shrewd-
ness and the soft~heartcdness of one OF our
citizens that he was saved from 1ynching.
Had the soldiers got their hands on him once,
the interference Of citizens would have
ayailed nothing; md had 1t been the political
editor Of the 1fnes instead Of reporter he
would have learned that there is one place In
the free State Of Illinois, Mt least, where that
n,iscrcant lireling OF the rebellion cannot re-
mnin in safety. Let the Times aud its follow
CTS be warned that the Union men In this
section are 'toscte1sdy in earmeA.

In our local columns Of yesterday morning
We gave the address Of the committee OF busl.
ness men from the upper Mississippi to our
business and mercantile organizations, aud
also the reports Of the committees Of the
Board of Trade and the Mercantile Associn.
ton in relation TO the exhorbitant tariff Of
fleights charged by the, Upper Mississippi
steamers and the railroads between the Mis-
eissippi and the lakes, amounting virtually to
an embargo upon the shipments of cereals
from Minnesota, northeastern Iowa and west
ern Wisconsin to Milwaukee and Chicago.
We learn that convention Is to called of
the railways md freight lines in interest, md
that reduction Of the tariff will probably be
made. To charge twenty-five cents freight
upon bushe] of wheat from WIuona to AIil-
waukee or Chicago is unmitigated extortlon,
sure to recon upon those lines that attempt
10 make It The inevitable effect must be to
drive business to St. Louis, thus defeating
the object the unjust combine
ton seek to accomplish. The freight from
points on the Upper Mississippi
to the lake ports on bushel of wheat has
been about fifteen cents, and Ut this rate
those In the business on the river certainly
have grown rich; to put It now ut twenty
five cents is gross Outrage upon the people
OF Minnesota and - Northeastern Iowa
and Western Wisconsin. Clreful csti-
%-.@4oe make the amount OF wheat to be
shipped from thc Upper Mississippi TO
the lnIes from three to nye millions Of
bushels. OF course the people forwarding
go large and SO valuable surplus will want
corres1.eading amount Of goods. They
will sny where they sell their far1n products,
and hence orr citizens hayc an interest 10 this
matter fur hey ond the loss Of the commission
men who wou1d handle the wheat. We hope
this tlinS will very soon be adjusted te the
satisfaction Of oil parties. The lake cities
must not loose the rich trade of the Uppc.
Mississippi by the intense greed Of those
whose true md permanent interest should

At an election for Directors Of the Union
Pacific Railway, held On Monday at Lcayen-
worth, General John c. Fremont, Edward
Larncd, and c. P. Dixon Of New York, John
Kerr, VIM. Mcneil, Clough F. johnson, B.
P. c. Wilson Of Leayenworth, Wm. j. Nc
Alpine Of Cincinnati, and c. A. Trowbridge
OF Detroit, were chosen. At meeting Of
the Directors, held directly afterward, Gen.
Fremont W'as chosen President, Nm J. Nc
Alpine, Vicc;President, and Henry Foote,
Secretary. We understand that other impor-
tant business WIS transacted, and steps taken
to secure the Immediate and energetic prose-
cusion Of the work
It will be noticed that MIR. Samuel Hallett,
whose nicely laid schemes to mike the public
and especially our own citizens believe that
this was really the main line Of the Pacific
Railway, we exposed some months since, has
been ruled out Of the Board Of Directors. As
now managed our citizens hive good reasons
to give this road all the encouragement III y
can, rs by branch from the Hannibal and
st. Joseph road, our city will be brought in
railway connection with all central Kansas.
We coy, therefore, success to this great and
most important enterprise. 20. !.
