inst, says "the difficulties between the Rcgu-
lators, as they are called, and set of obnoX-
ion, persons in Lincoln county is becoming a
serious affair The difficulty has now extend
cd to a portion oFthe citizens Of St. Charles
/ Two of the regulators were recently wounded
in an attack upon the 7iunb,dlS. The two
TurnbuIIs, who were seriously wounded III the
same affair, were removed to St. Charles, and
are said 10 be recovering. 4 man named Cat
iGray, one Of the persons who had been order
ed to leave the county, was found on the road
leading from Troy to Cap-au-Gris, few days
ago, and killed, with three balls thro' the body.
The Circuit Court for Lincoln county sits this
week, but it is doubtful whether the power OF
the Court can put stop to these outbreaks
| The sheriff has been threatened with violence
If he attempts to execute process on certain per-
sons, and if the grand jury should undertake
to investigate the subject it is doubtful whether
the attendance of witnesses can be enforced
A number of the most respectable citizens Of
the county enlisted upon the side of the
Regulators. The difficulty originated in the
detection last winter, of an organized band OF
cOunterlcitcrs and horse thieves, and the per-
sons whom the Regulators have ordered off are
supposed to be identified with these"

for the widows and orphans of those who have
nobly fallen with rici written on their shield"
