In the front yard of this humble home stands five black covered eefhns, and on each is q simple plate on which is engraved the words, ,''at rest Under the lids are the nor tai remains Of five victims of the battle at the stoakade of the Chicago.

 Colonel Mcknight of the governor s staff, accompanied by Adjutant General Reese. visited the stockade of the Chi cago-Yrden Coal company, and served a formal notice on Manager Lukeas, who has been inside the stockade throughout the trouble, that the soldiers would visit the stockade and disarm all the inmates Colonel Mcknight says no objections were offered 10 this proposition. He an- tieipates no trouble on that point, and he expresses the opinion that there will be no further outbreak on the part of either the union miners or the guards at the stocl1ade.

 While martial Jaw has not yet been declared, the town is virtually under the control of state troops, under Captain Craig, of battery B, First Illinois artil- lery
 Adjutant General Reese expects troops A, B, c and D, First Illinois cavalry, and four companies of the Sons of Vete- rans from Rockford, Oregon and Ma comb. On their arrival special guards at the stock yard will be disarmed and the soldiers will take possession.
 There is q feeling among the people of the town who are not connected with the mines that the Virden miners are not responsible for Wednesdays trage. dy. One citizen expressed his views in a very emphatic manner, saying that all the trouble has been caused by outsiders who came here to induce the local strik- CTS to violence. A striking inoidena bears out this statement, for it is 3 fact that in the bloody work not single Virden miner was killed, and only one slightly injured
 There was 3 report on the streets that 100 negroes at Rana had been killed and one shaft burned. The report came from Springfield, but was onlg a rumor
