Trade is dull over the water, firms topplins,

Our eiepatches continue to bring us news
Of the progress Of tbs campaign ID Illinois
and adjoining States. We cannot invite |
Coppcrheads to take pleasure in them.
Capt. FisEe's expedition is eafe, which is |
more than goodly share Of his "a rapscall,ons
1~-ezve. They assayed to get to the gold |
regions at the expense of q Government !
which they ran away from serving, and 8e |
do not especially congratulate them Tor the |
ealvation Of their WORTHLESS scalps. The |
whole expedition w8s an Rrrant ~ind4e on |
the Government, whereof loyal Minuesosi-
ans FtspoIslb therefor should be heartily
ashamed
The Eichmcnd prcEs, untergoing the tor
tures Of the lost, at witnessing their growing
peHls, take no pains to conceal the deEpeta-
don of their case, a3d the desperate resorts
they profess to be ready for. The frantic
howl, elsewhere given, involving the threat
OF the destruction of some Northern city BIZ
the torch OF the tncen6inry, ID characteristic.
The rebellion will aesuredlr die, aud it may
seek to draw about its setting some fiery hor-
ror and atrocdty, Ike these suggested-a fit
ting ebd to a carter Of accumulated barb ar
iEms, filling up the red record of Human
Chattt lism.
It Ii astonishing on what nice puncti1ios
the Little Mackerel generation have come to
stand, and what regard 1heY find themselves
to possess for human rghts, and the elective
franchise, now that the right to murder
Union men, and establish rebel terrorism at
the pclls is sure to be suppressed in the bor-
der Suites. 1t Is dreadfnl, their alarm at the
hayoDet fet against dislo, al men. A delega-
ton OF Ttnnesseans Of this ilk went on to
Washington to protest against Andy John.

pass under the yoke. Bayonets In loyal

No one will sympath'ze with the northern
mercharfe whore greed for gain has led them
into Gfrcct violation OF tue Il ws Of war, and

Fol young gentleman Of vigorous icaac-
3naticn, not trammclled By my parti :ular
set Of principles, commend us to Dick Mer-
rick, commonly known as my Maryland !
Dick, though sometimes he is associated with |
The plrase "sprcad eagle" which latter we |
have abandoned since We came to keep d |
fine pair Of eagles on our premises and know !!
the bird bott-r. Dick Merrick It was who |
once horr1Aed the people in the regions Of |
the deep rutted roads, By assuring them that |
he walked With his Life In his haud in Chca~ |
40, a very careless way to carry 1t Of course.
Dick MerrIck It was, who was to have |
large command IN the 200 200 yeomen who
were TO bring back Val. in triumph from
Canafa- And now, according to our Peoria
dispatch elsewhere, Dick announces graud
cxfafsaon party to start from Springfield
oferlnnd Tor Washington, led BY Little Mac,
and tailed of By Dick Merrick, to denose
fOld Abe and rut the Chlckahom.ay chief
] tain ID his place We wager, before the par.
t. got a. far as Terra Hau'e, native Instincts
would swamp the whole ex pedlt,on, and Lit
tie Mac, with his forces, fall to tnro wing m
earttworke, and Dick Mer1lck to making
terrific speeches, which, Of course, will run |
the whole thing into the ground. Dick, |

We do not seek occasion to differ from The |
views ard policies emauettpg from the Pro-
vost Marshal Generals Office, and We cannot |
but hope tlat the statement In Washington |
di6pstch to New York paper, elsewhere |
given, is unauthorized and unfouoded. To |
make each draft district responsible for indi-
yidual failures to report under the conBcrlp- |

where there are no powers to prevent the
