The attendance on 'Chanse to-day Was good, ,and
the markets we're steadter. The feeling was gen.
crally towards lower prices, but there
YVES an absence Of anything like panic. Both
buyers and sellers have evidently come to tho
conclusion that the time for extremely high prices
has gone BY, and thatas the armies surround tho
rebels, gold and ali other values Will decline.
The Provision market showed considerably
more life than yesterday, but after the discourag-

PERSONAL.

Alarge majority Of the Illinois Legislature
were engaged in the business for which they
arc chosen by the people, viz: making laws.
4 small minority are engaged in butting their
heads against the Chicago TRIBUNE. Hsome
Of them should butt their brains out in tho
operation the loss wonld not be perceived in
the Gcnclal assembly. Hence they are vel
como to all the diversion which the exercise
may furnish them, as well as all the dividends
which may be declared from the same 1T the
close Of the session. They are ably seconded
In their cndcavors By the State Journal, which,
between the movement for bringing tue State
Capital to Chicago, and the incessaut demands
made upon Its columns for our benefit, is in
state Of bewildcrment which excites our
sympathtes. We beg these gentlemen to 60
on with their game, for under the constitu-
tion Of Illinois they will not have another
clnnca for two years.
