Previous to the war the portions of IUinois and Indiana bordering on the Ohio ltivcrwero intensely southern iu their feeling "by a majority." The settlers having mainly come from Kentucky. Tennessee aud Virginia, thc naturally sympathized with their relatione over the border, and were prepared t't suppurf them to a any extremity uu questions connected with tho uiaiiiteiiaiiw: of "the jiertj isr in.sLiuti.m." As too of the Southern States j.ronresM.d. ant! particularly after (lie imforf tuMt" iwtisof Hib Drst of Dull Run. this feeling increased in Intensity, and It was y. lieniliy understood that the people of S.mthern Illinois ajivr iveJ 1'f soawifin.

and vera r.ady to i toUie.tt' ut of resisting any attniur ts at coercion on the part of the Fedora! Gowriiuieiit. Political leaders declared thatif an army should be inarehe.i thv i that region, or the purpose, of siileluiiii; the Smith, it must be forcibly repelled, and numbers of youiitf vent over the border arid enlisted on the si. lvi of the South. Out ol this st.Ue, atTiils Hj.iane; ail opportunity for AS IMMENSE PRACTICAL JORE, the particulars of which havo nuver yet been fully related. 11 originated in a very in igmlieaiit affair.

Two yoiinyi lieu, not iniu.cted with the newspaper business, were w.vlkil.g on tlmlesee at Cairo, anil nun of them, who may as well be named Smith tor the purpose of this narration, pi. Led a toy bra. cannoti, mounted on wh showed to his companion, wh may l.eiiaiu.sl Brown, and but into pocket. The idea of utili.hiK the find for the purj.osn of a huge practical joke seems to have occurred niuitD taunoualy to both of the yuiiug men. who adjourned to a convenient saloon and, after wetting their had a private aud ocinfidoiitiai talk, which resulted in the plan whioh was speedily put In operation.

As tho project ro'tuircd entire secrecy, they admitted no partners and sought no assistance, but carried on their operations so quietly and thoroughly to play the game to an cud with VNBXPF.PTKtl SCOf'EKS. MrsterloiHand carefully Wordr 1 paragraphs bo an to appear iu the c.irrBspoatlniieo of certain St. Louia and Clik aoo mnials, to the that tha rilizenn Cairo, Illinois, couteiup'ated the prcs itatioil to the citizens of Kentucky, ot a braes field piece asa iieihle.r'.y esteem and poiitieal sympatby. A similar paragraph crept into the local lie and tho Mate which bid ipnio abroad were caught np nnd repeated at home. They wero also rcfitrred to In business letters from ni rehaiibi in Cairo th ir corrc spoiideiits Coluuilius, and every possible channel of couun was folly used for the circulation of irre ui but gnw ing report.

Tlm what was kmevn In Oair.i iw came known in Coluubu and th daily ari icil of uewspaiiors from the North fed tie; fk.me BOTH KinCS OF Till: BOISDMR, until in each town tliefc arose a con.l.tioi: of intense excitement on the o.ucstion of the caniimi tiou, which was marked by coiiHiderablo indignation iu Cairo an a largo aw mat nnivi cr.igratu'.at.oti iu Columbus, there bai ii! two parties in tho farmer town, and but one in tho latter. The L'nion men of Cairo were imiuraliy wrathy b. cuse so. li an prise was conteiujdated within the limits or a presumably loyal State; but at tUl sauw U1112 their paitlwn proi itldneed them to exagoerat.1 the rep it. rather than to deny it.

'Those on the oth side were not at all dis ticB. ilto flimy it, and tlitis the irresponsible plotters hed a fair Hold for their plotting, and found iS nocdry do nothing but nutter the seed which they had sown to hoar Its natural fruit. Th? coiiscqu. was that tli3 proposad presentatiou of the caution camo to be regarded in Columbus' as a mailer of ecrtMnty, although no one in fitter town could put his finger upon a person who was c.i.ioiruel iu tho ail'atr. Tlii.4 m'ery was placed by the Keutuckians to the account of thu A11SOLUTH SECRECY which their Illinois friends weru lted to olwprvn, in ordorj to avoid the iutorl'crcacu oi' thu I'ederal authorities.

But tho Columbus neiarlo b. ranv impafient at the nun arrival of the artillery, and proposed inquire whether there was not moro brass in the yrum so than In the cannon. In short, th wanted ti know when the present might be po; JuiWmMioii a.s quietly conveyed them th.it it would bu sent on the steamer Aleck Scott, then completing her cargo at Cairo for New Orleans. This liif spurred them up to more deduiio imjuirioi. and an o.Ucial camo to Cairo, directed to the City Clerk, asking at win', day and hour the Aleck Scott with the cannoti would leavo Cairo.

That gentleman was 1, and ho showed thu telegram, as it happened, to the person wo havo named Smith, who was one the of ths. cannon scheme, aud wondered whether the whole business were nut SOSIK SORT OF A SWINDLE. "My dear, sir," Smith, "I have not th i 'A't doubt of it. If there were really any such n'liemt on foot, some of us at this end of the rout. wool 1 be sure to know something about It.

His evident to those Columbus fellows have playing a gam, that on ns. and are now trying to get you iiita a scrap, coo I won dn't sillier tln.iii to get ahead Tf 1 wore me, but would pay iu their owu "What would you do "I would answer that telegram at otic and tell th. that thu Aleck Scott has been t.i:ii by Government orders, but wilUcavn here with the cannoti tunrrow afternoon, aud that the present will bu acciiii.aiin. by a guard of clti.on T'liis a.lvico was taken, mil the clerk, re solved that ho would NOT BE IMPtlsiEr) UPO.Y, sont a telegram in accordance with his friend's valuable suggestion. The next day Smith, as was his usual custom, boarded the Cob.

mbtn reoiket on her arrival, and was r. gal by her captain with such an account of the prevailing oxcitoiucnt in Columbus as made him bis eyes. "If you have anything to do with that cannon business," said Captain' Latimer, "llt.d I strongly suspect you have, you lud belter li.id sou. way settling it and stopping the funs as soon as possible." "Why ho "Because the people down there are in dead earnest about it, aud are putting themselves to a heavy expense to give the camion and their Cairo friends a fitting reception. They have organized ami ban determined to MARK A BIG THING of the affair.

They are getting up a dinner at Major Wclborn'B hotel, which is intended to cost kw. They have levied on all the turkeys and llama in the neighbor h.iod, and have sent up a heavy order for wine. They have selected six white the finest in Hickman County, to draw the caution up into town, and scleral lawyers were bard at work last night, preparing ejieeehes for the occasion." Little more was said. Tills statement to 'satisfy the sentiment." and Smith went a diore. feeling decidedly chapfallell.

The conspirators had taken into their confidence, directly afu the City Cierk bad sent his telegram, several of their immediate friends, convinced that it would be useless to try to keep thu affair a secret any longer, since It had gone so far, and also believing that it might yet be turn.il into a if not altogether an uncompromising success. But this devclcpm nt liad changed the face of affairs'. From an agreeable joke the caunou piceciitatiou had developed into A It is no wonder that Smith's lower jaw and that the speculation in Ills eyes averaged pretty badly as he stepped ashore. It had boon determined that the joke should la; male pubilc. that a delegation of Cairoiti should go down to Columbus "ii tlie Al ck Scott, acc rnpaniod by a brass band, aud that on landing, the entire, force of tho dock hands' of tin; steamer should lie "tailed ou" to th.

toy cannon, dragging It ridiculously up the love: at Columbus, to tho iusjiiring strains of the brass band, that tlto whole affair ould thuil be made so eminently absurd, and that tho siiperfloui exoiteiueut of both towns would culminate in A UENEHAL JOLLIFICATION. But the extensive and expe nsivo preparations at tho Kentucky cud of the route had uyiel this neat little arrangement. No delegation, to iy nothing or a urams baud, could 1 expected to incur tho ignominy and tho ire that would ensue upon a visit to Colmnbus.
