THE NEWS.
From Mattoou, nc have by special dispatch,
ACCOUNTS OF the situatlon in Coles county, as
Jar as reported up to late hour last night.
Our dispatches from that section and below
are abbreviated by the cutting Of the wires
by the insurgents, both on the line
oi the Illinois Central and the
Tcrre Hautc & Alton Railroads. The
present aspect will be startling one to ma~
ny good easy souls who have smiled at our
warnings that It was dangerous to allow
treason to be preached in Illinois. OF the
result Of these doctrines why need there to
have been doubtg The fruit of the reyil-
ipgs Of the Government, the army, the cause
of the Union, which have been the
staple theme Of the organ Of JEFF. Dayis
in this city, and kindred sheets throughout
the state, have reddened to ripeness In Coles
county, and the sedness Is Of blood. The
dealing with these insurgents will be brief
and sl,nrp. The fsoyernment Is in deadly
struggle with toe In 'front.' If forced to
turn to home enemies, it will wheel with
sword md ayonet In hand and In thatcncoun-
ter the misguided tools Of treason will hnre
little 1cnlty and 1ees sympathy. There urc
plenty Of veteran troops In the State, and the
boys in blue will not deal gIngerly with the
fire in the rear. And were there not troops
enough, the loyal men OF Illinois would
rush from their farms and shops Mt
the call Of the authorities, moro g1ad-
~ than men cvcr get assembled for
a wolf hunt. That blood will 1ow is certain;
as certain, indeed, as that home treason wil1
be signnlly crushed. But when we look upon
the fallen, whether they be the madmcn who
thus throw themselves before the war
power Of this Government, nurtured
and sheltered in Illinois homes, to
turn traitors to her, prospercd un-
der liberty and free labor to 80 forth to do
tic dirty work Of elaycry--whether they be
these Nrctched victims Of worse teaching;
whether Union men shot down by their neigh
oors; or Federal soldiers preserved in
scores Of battles with the rebels
to return to be slain on their
own prairie6 in defence Of their country,-as
We look upon these dead, can it be doubted
<'wllo slew all these?'' Not more surely the
weapons that let ont their lives, than the
false doctrines printed and circulated In &C.
ccssfon journals In Illinois, to MD the work
of the rebellion. When the disciples Of
homo rebellion fill shall the teachers es-
cape?
Our st, Panl dispatch gives information
that indicates the bottom pretty much out
of the Indian war. One powerful branch Of
the Siou1-thc Yanktous-a1e moving to
bring about Peace. The border will then re-
-<lnirc only moderate force to keep In check
ana1auding redskins.
The Upper Mississippi is open and boats
lave begun running. Shortly navigation
will be fully resumed.
