FEVER AND AGUE AMONG THE Coal DTGGERs.
1t is SAID that about two-thrds of the force
OF hands belonging at the various coal mines in
Illinois contiguous to this city, have been com.
PEELED to succumb to the prevailing malady-
chllls and fever. An abundance OF hands are
stlil left however. to attend TO the supply of
the city, and we believe that dealers do not
apprehend any frightful rise in the price of the
staple.
WHARFBoATs.-T Atlantic and Mississippi
Steamship Company arc about building Il wharf.
boat OF mammoth dimensions for the storage Of
freight shipped to and from any points on the
| railroads leading eastward, by their route to
and from New Orleans, New York or Europe.
The wharf boat will be stationed on the other
SIDE OF the river, so as to set aside the neces-
sty OF an extra shipment from East st. Louis
to their landing place Oh this side.
LAGER BEER CONVENTION. number of
the larger beer brewers Of this city left "a day
or two ago to attend a National Convention of
Brewers at Baltimore, TO have met yesterday.
The object of the Convention is understood to
have been the adoption of measures looking TO
the reduction of Government tax on lager beer,
and committee has probably been appointed
by this time to meet the United States Revenue
Commissioner, and to consult with him IN re.
latlon to the matter. Perhaps this may ulti-
mately result III our having two glasses of lager
tor five cents-who can tell?
An Ill WIND THAT BLOWS NOBODY GooD.-
Inc extraordinary prevalence Of fever and ague
In Madison, ST. Clair and advaccnt counties of
llNnols has afforded an extra harvest to more
tl!an one dealer IN drugs and medicines We
hear of a drug manufacturer on St Charles
street, who, at the commencement of the war
and Jlst before the blockade, received an order
from Arkansas for SO, 900 worth of ague pills.
lie made the pills, but the blockade being es.
tabllshed just as he had them boxed up inter-
cepted the shipment of them, aud for four
years afterwards they were so much deadly
matter on his hands, with which he did not
know what to do. The ill-wind that has
brought fever and ague in such abundance to
our nelghbors on the other side of the river
brought along with it a general revival of the
aguc pill business and brought the aforesaid
druggist orders for all he had on hand.

"a Arrangements have been concluded by
the railroads interested, for the sale of cou-
pom tickets from ST. Louis to Chattanooga, gtu
the NJ. & o. and Illinois Central roads to Cairo;
thence by the Cincinnati and Johnsonvlle
Packet Company to Johnsonville on the Ter
nessee river, where 4 close connection is made
with the Nashville and Northwestern and
Nashville and Chattanooga roads through
Nashville to Chattanooga Time, from St.
Louis to Nashville, thirty hours. The Tennes-
see Railroads have been well furnished with
rolling stock by the Government-no less than
sixty first-class locomotives and five hundred
freight cars having been transferred to them,
and they are prepared to do big business

$ ILLINOIS BEET SUGAR.-It is stated in a dis
patch from Washington that the Commissioner
of Agriculture has received from Illinois a
specnen Of loaf sugar manufactured from beets,
which is Of snowy whiteness and beautifully
chrystalized, equalling anything produced from
the sugar cane The production Of beet root
sugar has long been Il prominent branch of in
dustry in France and portions Of Germany, and
is yearly increasing. 1t will be many years
before the sugar plantations of Louisiana aDd
Texas will equal the quantity of sugar they pro-
dnced before the rebellion, and if they ever
should the increase Of our population will de-
mand greater supplies than can be furnished from
chem andEall other cane-growlng countries OF
the world The cheap lands OF the Northwest
could produce all the sugar necessary for home
consumption and leave room enough to grow
all the cereals and other agricultural propucts
that can be consumed at home proftably or ex-
ported

flame, which will consume instead of build up
our National strength and honor
The people of the South, have, in good faith
laid down the sword and are now pursuing
their civil vocatons. The manufactures of
the North are again in operation, and it rests
with us Of the North to say whether this con.
dition Of things shall be disturbed to satiate
the spite and prejudices OF stay-at-home pa
triots, home guards, substitute providers, and
selfish politicians, who would sooner wade
through the blood of their fellows into power
and position than upon their shoulders The
greater portion of the South has been rendered
barren waste; enclosed fields have been
turned into commons and ploughed up by the
tread of horses and men: residences have been
razed to the ground; towns and cti es
laid in ruins and the people with
heavy hearts have renewed their al
legiance to the General Government
and received therefrom assurances of protection.
With that view Governors have been appointed,
civil law restored when it was practical, and
pie demanded, military forces are stationed.
How men can denomnate themselves as pa
tros who in the face of these facts, occupy their
time and talents in stirring up strife. and en-
deavoring to establish lasting and eternal
feud between sections of our country designed
not to be inimical but identical, and yet con-
cede to them the status they claim, is beyond
our powers of conjecture The men who
perilled their lives to preserve the honor of our
government and perpetuate its blessings, have
no sympathy in common with such mischiev-
Gus spirits, and those who place the hattcring
JUNCTION to their souls that by pursuing such a
course they are enhancing their chances for
occupying positions of trust, honor and emolu-
ment will wake up some morning after elec-
ton and find that they have committed polit-
cal suicide, and Union soldiers and Union
lovers will not be found amongst their mourn
ers.
