COLONEL JACQUES.

louisville Press, September 25.1
The fall of such man as Colonel Jacques is
sufficient to arouse the sorrow of every man who
knows the former worth Of the gallant Jacques
He was one of the first and most influential of
the Methodist denomination in Illinois. When
that body established female educational school
in jacksonville he was placed in charge oft
He managed it with such talent and success that
when greater educational enterprise was pro-
jected be was transferred to it. He was engaged
10 this when the rebellion commenced. Colonel
Jacques was man of intense loyalty, of CON-
manding influence, and great oratorical ability
He took the field in behalf Of the Union, and
speedily raised one of the finest regiments that
Illinois gave to the service of the Union. 1t
was called the preachers regiment, on account
of the number of preachers enlisted in it. OF
this regiment Jacques was made Colonel, and he
served with great distinction. .
During the progress of the war Colonel Jses
ques had numerous conferences with Bishop
Simpson, and both we're we'll satisfied that if q
Methodist of proper position in .he North could
get among the Southern Methodists much might
be done toward c:ippling the rebellion. This
mission Colonel Jacques undertook with the
approval of Bishop Simpson and of Mr.. Lincoln.
Colonel Jacques bravely met the peril, and
travelled extensively among the Southern Meth
odists. He returned just before the battle of
Chickamauga, and took 2 conspicuous part in
that battle.
Colonel Jacques was the Cd (bion CT Mr..
Gilmore in visit to Richmond Tor an inter-
view with jeff Davis, in wlich mission they
succeeded. This visit was intended to bring
about peace.
The Colonel has recently been detailed for
breaking up the negro camps, such as Camp
Nelson. This is the cause of his presence in
Kentucky ~
On Friday last Colonel Jacques employed a
fellow calling himself DR.. Fl. G. Miller to pro-
cure abortion in the case Of a Georgia woman.
The Colonel was present during the tragedy,
and was arrested with the female abortionist at
whose house the murder was perpetrated, aud
with Miller the abortiorist, the murder of In
nocents. The victim died in eight hours after
Miller commenced his depredations. The whole
party we're arrested in fagrante delicto, and are
now in Jail, the coroner's inquest having amply
confirmed all the suspicious that led to the in-
reference cf the pelice Mr. Turner. thepolice-
man, saw signs of the outrage in progress, and
made his preparations for arresting the guilty
parties, 10 which, as we have said he succeeded
We do not rejoice in iniquity, and We caunos
but drop tears of sorrow over the fall of such a
man as Colonel Jacques.
:. [Colonel Jacques was political preacher
no wonder he dsgraced himself. Jacques is the
man who visited Richmond during the war and
went back North aud made false report of bis
conversation with the Confederate authorities. J

coNFLAGRATIoNs I'm RUSSIA.

"A communication from St Petersburg, dated
August 26, says:
The Russian journals continue to announce
conaagrations which desolate the whole exten,
OF the empire. The population are almost al
ways warned beforehand, that on a certain day
set on Ere If q certain sum of money be not de.
posted at a stated place. The threat rarely
fails to be executed. Krementchoug, town in
the South of Russia, has had to contend against
twenty fires 10 short space of time. The 10.
habitants, after removing all movables from
their houses, which are built Of wood, have left
the town, panic stricken, and have .encamped
In the fields. In the town of Orel, letters have
been received imperiously demanding that Ger
tain citizens, mentioned by name, should depos-
it a sum Of money in a particular place, and
threatening that 10 case of refusal their houses
would be burned. Moreover, a proprietor re-
siding at Orel received notice that he must not
rely upon any assistance from the citizens, since
all the men belonging to the fire brigade had
been ordered, under pain of death, not to at
tempt to subdue the flames. Thanks to the
energetic measures of the inhabitants of Orel,
these threats have not been carried out The
police heve been most active in their efforts to
discover the authors of the outrage, but had not
yet succeeded in Calculating the affair, notwith-
Saoe 'uSy upSO olicStcO SSStT3I luul-
viduals armed with revolvers and provided with
infammable material. In the village of Mo-
nastyrska SlOboda sum of money was deman-
ded, of the inhabitants, and ,hiss demand not
being complied with, the village was set on fire,
and in great part destroyed, notwithstanding
the extraordinary precautions taken by the in
habitans.. large number of towns and vii
lagos have become prey to the; flames under
similar circumstances. 1t is also announced
that large portion Of the Resienie, chief town
of the district Of that name, has been destroyed
by IRE. Upward of two hundred houses, the
town hall, the synagogue, the public court and
two churches were reduced to ashes. The man
ufactory of firearms at Tiowski has been burn
ed down. Letters from Lemburg, Gallacia,
state that scarcely day passed without fire
taking place IN some town or village in Gallaeia.
Both the Christian ard Jewish population we're
taking refuge in the fields The Gear anuouu-
ces the burning on the 18th of August of
sugar refinery in the village of Leonon, district
Woclawck 1t was the property of the banker
,Goldstant, of Warsaw, and is the third sugar
refinery recently destroyed in the kingdom of
Poland, The loss is calculated at 1000, ,000f.
The official journal of Warsaw publishes intelli.
gence Of the burning of village called Solen-
Gin, 10 the district of Ostralescka. sAil the
buildings Of a taru, four hundred and fifty
sheep, the principal part Of the years crops, and
the agricultural implements all fell prey to
the flames. Two hundred houses of the town
OF Siedlee have also been burned down.

her spinning wheel. He finished one Of so
EXQUISITE work manship that she ordered one for
