THE ROW OF RINGLEADERS,
Searle Making Wry Faces at Former Po
litical Friends.

According to this mornings Union.
Congressional Candidate c. j. Searle
is now making WY faces at that fac
ton of the local contingent of the re-
publican party with which he was
formerly confidentially affiliated. The
Union, in one of its desperate thrusts
at the odious push, declares that
Searle has cast himself out from
those associations that were offensive
to him. and is now as vigorously
fighting the same elements as he sus-
tanned them but a short time since.
1t is indeed Il merry row that the
ringleaders of republicanism in Rock
Island have gotten into, when irrita-
ton and counter irritation arouse
the spirit of hatred to that point
where tales out of school are told on
each other. Ii the falling out of the
local pirates can be kept up long
enough. it is very evident that bye
and bye forbearing public will get
its dues.

Camp Tanner was all excitement
yesterday in consequence of the or
ders which came from Washington
to the 9th and LIST regiments and the
Danvill battery. the 9th to 90 to the
national capital and the lst and the
battery to Chickamauga.
The call to arms got cheer as it
rang down the barracks of the men
from Rock Island, Geneseo. Gales
burg, Abingdon, Sterling, Moline,
Dixon. Monmouth, Morrison. La
Noble, Freeport and Galena. The
word was passed along the line that
the trains for transportation were al
ready on the way, and that each man
would have less than two hours to
get his kit into shape and his bundle
to be shipped home ready. Commits
sary Davis. for the government, dealt
out the five days travelling rations
and the 10 days field rations. The
activity seemed to indicate that the
capital was in immediate danger of
invasion. This regiment went over
the Wabash, leaving early in the
evening. The few remaining Or
carnations gathered at the platform
to yell for the men whom they con-
sidered fortunate. The shouts were
not the kind that peaceful people
would like to hear. A great many of
them were more desperate and muir
derous than the friends of the
young soldiers at home would i'm
agine they could utter. 1t seemed
that every man in the several thous-
and in sight had had relative on the
Maine.
1t was midnight before the last of
the 9th got away. The route Travelled
was over the Wabash to Alliance.
Ohio, thence over the Baltimore 81
Ohio to Washington. The first sec
ton was in command of Col. Foster,
the second in command of Mai. David

third in command of Lieut.. Col. Kit
