An Ominous Event in Illinois.

Three hundred men have been found in Ilinois bold
enough to take up arms against the tyranny at Wash
ington. They probably dispersed in a few hours
by the troops sent fer that purpose and the movement,
although the New York Herald styles it "the begin
ming Of civil war in Illinois" does not therefore amount
to much in military point Of view. But the spps 10
arms shows the spirit and the presumed strength Of the
Opposition in nois Three hundred men could hardly
have been found in negbborhood willing to incur
the responsibilities Of such step, url,ss they had rea-
son to believe that they would be sustained by enough
others to make tie affair something more than mere
reasonable riot Indeed, the latest intelligence from
the scene OF the outbreak gives aspect more i'm
portant than the frs. ndcitoas promised. derives,
too additional gravity from the fact that the locality
somewhat north OF the region where dissffecton Is
known to bs rfe,t Ii the insurgents hold together
they will be strongly reinforced from Southern Illinois,
and II compelled retire. hoy will, doubtless choo;e
that direction and gather strength as they fall back
In this way they could do no more THY could prob
ally save thems res, by escaplng.nto our nes But
the chief importance of the affair ia the proof h affords
of a desperate aud deadly hostility to the Washington
dynasty 10 one of the chief States of the Unon and Of
the exhaustion OF patience, and even prudence, among
the people of The Northwest. We have always felt
certain that that great division of country would be
driven finally to break loose from the Yankee Sates
The time may be nearer at hand than We had hoped.
