From the Springfield Register l4th.
Absent Without Leave.
Our readers have been informed of the
sudden disappearance Of Senator Yates, but
for the sake Of his friends and the public IN
general, we reproduce oil the established
facts in relation to this most important mat
ter
The loyal senator was to speak at Dan.
vile, on September 10Th, and arrived in that
city promptly on time. A portion Of his re.
tiuue had become separated from him, aud
among others, his bOttle'hoder was absent.
To this unfortunate occurrence may be attrib.
all the trouble which has visited the radical
party, as Richard insisted on holding the
bottle himself. When the hour came for the
speaking TO commence, the loyal senator
was 30 far involved in his normal condition
as TO be unable to appear. He had an Rp.
pointment to speak the next day at Decatur,
and it was hoped by his friends be would be
recovered 10 time to fill the appointment
but when the hour arrived for the morning
train 10 leave Danyille for Decatur, II was
found impossible 70 move him without a
stretcher. In the afternoon the trains going
east and west meet and pass at DanviIIe,
and the faithful bent all their eGcrtions to
the task Of getting the senator IN parade or
der for the evening train. By strenuous Ell
forts Dick was 80 far revived that he was
conveyed to the depot, and the two trains
arrived AZ usual, promptly on time l ne
noise and confusion at the depot completely
upset Richard who had been engaged ior
many DAYS in swelling the revenue. lie
was in his most loyal and patriotic mood ;
he knew no north, no south, no east, no
west, and in spite Of all the arguments OF
his friends he got on board an eastward
bound train, firmly persuaded that it would
carry him to Decatur. la few moments
the train started, leaving the loyal pull
ers Of DaDvile in agony, They however,
promptly revived and sent teIegraphlc mes
sages to Decatur aud this city, informing the
public that Senator Yates had flown from
his established orbit, and was now like
comet whsking a fiery tail among the stars
Of the loyal planetary system. Up to the
present date nothing has been heard from
Richard, or rather nothing definite has been
discovered as to his locality. The following
dispatches indicate all which has been heard
from him:
