The St. Louis Republican says
that the Chairman of the Illinois Re-,
publican Central Committee esti.
mates the number OF soldier, who re-.
turned home to vote in November, al
$4,000. Nearly all these were pick
ed men," that is, men who Wee fur
Laughed on pledge to vote til" Re,

ocrat thinks that had there been NJ
soldier votes, or had all the Illinois
soldiers voted, that State would have
given a large vote for Mcclellan. OF
this we have no doubt.

Commercially, Matamoras is a
jam. Goods are coming in by car
goes, and they are going out just as
fast. Importers open with new,
large and well selected stocks to day,
and they close up before the week is
out and sub-let the premises
The demand is extraordinary, and
parties who have been predicting
glut for months past, are at the end
Of the prophets, and refuse to pass an
opinion as to the capacity of the mar
ket. The warehouses at Bagdad are
full, the wagon trains are full, and
yet new warehouses are in demand
every day. Building goes onas rap
idly as the brickmakers and the tim
ber-merchants can supply the mate
rial; and carpenters are hammcring
away at all manner of shanties night
and day. Foreign signs are observ-
able in places where mules housed
three years ago, and building lots
are things not to be had for love or
money. Buyers have an extensive
range to keep the run of. il they seek
to keep posted on all the bargains
that are offered in Matamoros.-Mon-

"Some bloody scenes have recently been
enacted in the interior Of Missouri, the
particulars of which have been suppressed
from the interior local papers for several
reasons. It is represented by q distin-
suished State o%ficisl, whose position
entities him to know, that several return
ed rebels have lately keen killed on that
side in North Missouri, and that many
Union men have, in turn, been killed by
returned rebels. 1t has been known that
large orders for powder have been receiv-
cd from interior union men lately, and the
use these articles have been put to is now
apparent. There are some counties where
it has been publicly resolved in mass
meetings that a Committee of Safety
should be appointed to warn all returning
rebels, with or without paroles, to quit
the State Immediately. The returning
rebels begin to understand this now, and
are staying out Of such counties as Macon,
Warren, Linn, Caldwell. etc."
