The large distillery owned by Messrs.
Thayerr Brothers in Lacon ON the Illinois river,
was blown up last Friday afternoon and the
whole building destroyed. The loss is esti-
mated at fifty thousand dollars. Five men
we killed and three injured to such an extent
that no hopes are entertained of their re-
coyery.
Gen. Seymour, lately prisoner at Charles
ton has arrived at New York. General Sey-
mour was stationed at Charleston some two or
three years before the war commenced He,
therefore, had many influential acquaintance
there and to them he was indebted for gener-
Gus courtesies during his late involuntary stay
among them. He conversed with them freely
about the war. He told them the North would
never yield; that the determination of the peo-
pie was to wipe out the rebellion and save the
Union, no matter what great sacrifices the
work should involve. 9r-,,.-.-,,,s.r4 n

The New York Times declares that the
WADE and DAVIS manifesto has for ssits
real object the defeat Of Mr.. LINCOLN and
to- aid the success of the Democratic
party It further says;s - ro.-aa. q
~. We do nots1accuse them c(Wade and
Davis of inconsistency in thus, acting,
we regard their present demonstration as
simply and strictly in keeping with their
course from the beginning. There has
probably been no time, since the war com

conceded independence! to the slave States
than consent to their resumption uofs their
place in theS Union, and the renewed en-
joyment of their right underthe. Federal
Constitution They have soughts steadily
and consistently, their conquest, subjuga-
ton and exterwinatiOn as States, in order
that they might found upon. them q new,
empire based upon their own ideas, and to
,bsruled by their counsels. They have sns-'
tanned the war, not as means of restOr-
ing the Union, but to free the slaves, seize
the lands, crush the spirit, destroy the
rights laad blot out forever the political
freedom of the people inhabiting the
Southern States, So long As othe war
promised to give them these results, SO,
long they were fors it's prosecution. at
the first indication that it might be closed
before these results should be accomplish
ed, all interest in the issue merges in their
political and personal resentment. ID ~
When it is remembered that Senators
WADE and DAVIS, until the other day,
were bright and shining lights Influential
leaders-in the Administration party, this
arraignment becomes full of significance.
The Times tells us that these men and
their like have been all along willing to
abandon the Union, provided their uncon-
stitutional scheme Of subjugation, exter-
mination and emancipation could not be
carried out. We have not doubt of il.
