The Disturbances In Coles and Edgar

The tools Of treason in Illinois would be best
pleased by the c1aggeration Of the evil deeds
they have accomplished, to the end of fmarring
tic loyal fame Of our State, aud encouraging
the rel,tls in the sinking Confcderacy by e1-
citing talcs OF wlat is being done in their be-
i.~!f by tlcsc Northern allies. But 60 small
:: proportion do these scatterod emeutes OF
traitors bear to The food-t3de OF Loyal eenti-
.r*nt in the North, that not even the blind
1T follower Of JEFF. Davis in Dixie can be
,,oog deceived. Tell him Illinois has filled her
<,.'otrs under e,e,y cali BY volunteering. and 1t
will be in win to add that certain fellows Of
the bascr sort have temporarily disturbed
their home precincts BY deeds Of bloodshed
and violence. 4 few annoying fleos in the
hide Of the mastif, staunclly bearing down

very elegant figure to set forth the relative
1Hcportions in the case.

OEFlCE THE EVENuNd nBLEQKAPH,
wednesday, OctC Der .
The unsettled state of the price of gold, conse-
quent upon army news, gives hdctuating char
acter to the Stock Market generally. Men are
excitable animals and our brothers Of the Ex-
change are subject to very violent fits Of depres-
sion and elation. cavalry skirmi,h is tortured
in disastrous defeat or glorious victory, and,
presto stocks are hammered down or hidden
up with insane fury, as if the world was coming
TO an end, or the mi lennum was to dawn upon
us in the next half hour. There are class of
SECURITIES" which. like thistle down, are blown
about by every wind, and the bulls and bears do
q vast amount Of "blowing" Of that sort. We
suppose, however, that Philadelphia will stand,
and her solid securities will not disappear, even
after the last Rebel has been shot or hanged, and
when a Confederate million Of dollars will not
buy good cigar. The loyal North, 1t is to be
presumed will not bury its gold or burn its
greenbacks when the war is over, but will still
have some money on hand TO invest In solid diyi-
dend-paying securities In fact when the vast
horde Of gold which have been locked up by sus-
picious and cranky people, and hidden away in
old stockings by ignorant and crazy men and
nervous old women, are poured out once more into
the legitimate channels of trade, we shall awake
in surprise from our delusions, and "wonder
where all the money comes from"
We especially warn our readers against the
croakers who are trying to get up stock panic
on the prospects of peace, and by scare to re-
enact the scenes of 1857. The same desperate
speculators in New York who inaugurated the
ruin of that year, are trying their best to bring
the public mind to a state Of alarm, that they
NAV break down the prices of sound securities
in order to enrich themselves. That bubbles
will burst-stock, merchandise, or others-we
admit and many dne fortune on paper melt
into thin air; but when sober men see the mist
vanishing, they look for clear weather, We shall not
give away houses and land, mortgages and bonds,
or diyidend-paying stocks, because copper mining
gold mining, or oil stock companies may explode.
