CIVIL WAR IN ILLINOIS.
Paducaii, Aug. I.
A band of lawless, thieving despera,
does, with the unenviable appellation of
' Platheads, have for somo time past committed
outrageous depredations upon the
honest portion of the nonulation of il>?
j Southern end of Illinois. The bund of
thieves number about three huudied.
For tho safety of life and personal
property, about five hundred of the most
i respectable inhabitants of that <S?tate
I formed themselves into an association
cnnea mo Uegulutors.
Tho aggrossions perpetrated by the
Fhuhcadft becoming insupportable, the
Regulators determined to u^c the most
vigorous measures to bring culprits to
justice. They accordingly procured
writs for the arrest t^n, or twelve of
the lenders of the Flathead gang, and

by Jacob G'ollamer, Postmaster General,
to Thomas P. Crawford, Esq., of1

"All 1 can say is, that 1 am not now, ,
