good word for our Telegraph Company. !:
may not be generally credited at first, but
we are actually informed uron what we cen
slider good authority, that this line has
walked up to sense of duty and is now
actually engaged in erecting new Tele-
graph line between this place and Chicago.
New posts are being set and three lines Of
wire are being thrown upon them. One line
goes to Peoria, one to this place, and third
for the use Of the Railroad Company. This
is really good news, and we feel confident
that the public generally will be rcjoiced to
learn that at last we are to have line that
dcws, and little damp spells generally will
not effect. The Company intend to have
the work completed this season, and when
it is done we intend to issue our proclama-
ton for day Of Thanksgiving, to be OBJ
served by everybody.

BrG SCARE IN MoLlNE.-We learn from the
Rock Island Aryus that the Moliners have
got big scare on, and that the Abs over
there are, arming themselves to the teeth
for the purpose Of resisting invasion and
spilling blood (not in Dixic) generally. At
. recent stirring meeting the following re-
marks were taken down:
Mr.. Hodges called for volunteers and said
they needn't be bashful about coming for
ward for they might as well lose their. lives
in the home guards as for others to risk
them in the field that he could shoot
straight enough to hit copperhcad and he
wouldn't shoot at his shins either, but
would shoot to kill. Mccain declared that
he could shoot as straight IS ever he
could
Some military officer was present who
said there was no doubt that Gov. Yates
would furnish them arms and ammunit. ON,
for he knew that an invasion wonld take
place from Kentucky, one column of which
was to march on Chicago and one on Rock
Island. The coppcrheads were to join the
rebel inv aston and release and arm all

Island. He did not tell where the arms
and ammunition were to be cbtained-but
his story was gobbled down with avidity.
He also said the Chicago convention was to
be copperhead convention and would be
controlled by rebels who were to come over
from Canada. He advised the people oi
Moline to arm themselves at once, without
delay, Immediately, right away, &C., &C., as
something sudden might occur
A committee was appointed to 60 out
among the people and collect arms and am
munition and bring them in this Monday
evening to the meeting of the leaguers, and
keep them until others could b. obtained
from Springfield.
A one-eyed man said he had double-ba1

ne wanted them used for that purpose.

The Christian Religion I'm America a

Sala in the London Telegraph.

Sala in the London Telegraph.
IL would be no difficult matter to show that
the practice of the Christian religion on the
North American continent has degenerated and
deteriorated through the unworthiness of the
ministers of that religion; that its vital spirit has
been gradually waning through the last genera
ton; that a nation once renowned as confessers,
and also martyrs, and who elected to endure
exile and privation that they might keep their
faith intact, have ss BODY either sunk into
skepticism. or retained of religion only its fea-
lures, It's forms. aud simulachre: and that active
and earnest Christianity has become practically a
failure among twenty-five millions OF people
who contemn its charitable and mercifu doc
trines. and have for four years abandoned them
selves, with scarcely dissenting voice, meeting
remonstrances with curses. and with no stronger
apology than that political dominion is superior
to the gospel to an unbridled lust for rspine and
slaughter.
