As matter Of course, the first effect
Of this bloody affair upon the people Of
this county, is feeling Of deep and ter
rible indignation against the men who,
withoat any proyocztion in any agFress.
i've act on the part of the soldiers, thas
conspired together and prepared with
deliberate purpose for the bntchery OF
their neighbors, against whom they had
no cause for hostile feeling save that
they were soldiers, fighting to preserve
the laws aud institutions which these
wTeiehes were staying q; home % enjoy.
Bat in this case, as in many others, the
men who doubtless suffer the punish
ment, are really less guilty than some
others who viii escape altogether. The
most guilty were not there. They who
have planted the seed take good care
not 10 be present at the harvest, or, II
near, to get out Of the way before the
reapers begin. John R Eden, membes
OF Congress for this district, who was ia

Among she prominent citizens whoss
conduct on the exciting occasion was
the reverse Of Mr. Edens was the Hon.
Orlando b Fieklin, who used every
effort to queil the insurgents, and wa

And well is II So The tidings Of The
outbreak 81 Charleston fell upon the peo.
pie Of Illinois as the news Of the FIRST
outbarat Of rebellion in the other Charles

public. Though different in degree, Il
was the same in kind, in purpose and ia
wiekedness II was conspiracy with.

premeditated, pre-arranged and deliber.
ately planned conspiraey-tbe offspring
Of the same treason which has already
spread woe and dssolation over half the
land--to shoot down ia cold blood The
soldiers who are engaged in fighting for
