Special Dispatch to the New-York Times. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Friday, Nov. 16. The city is busily preparing for the jubilee of Tuesday next. We are expecting a great invasion of Wide-Awakes. Southern news excites little remark. Business remains lively in spite of the cataclysm. The Bank Commissioners arrived here to-day. They will probably call upon the Banks for additional securities on account of the depreciation of Southern stocks. There is a slight advance in Missouri. Mr. LINCOLN preserves his position of dignified silence. He considers that his sentiments are so clearly before the people, that no reasonable man can misapprehend them. He sees no necessity for further manifestations. Senator TRUMBULL is in town visiting his brother-in-law, Dr. JAYNE, whose majority of seven for the State Senate secures TRUMBULL's reelection. CREWS, Republican, is elected to the legislature from one of the most hopeless Southern districts. This is considered a good joke on Egypt. J.H.
