THINGS in CLAY COUNTY, KY.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Ler,ngton Observer Of the 10th in
slant gentleman of our city who has just returned
ton in regard to the occurrences to which alluded
in our last paper: On the arrival Of General Dudley
at Manchester, on Wednesday, Sept TO- he found the
population laborng under the greatest possible excite
men caused By their fears Of an attack their town by
the friends OF Dr. Baker, with view to his rescue The
guard hastily summoned by the ailor totally un-
provided with the most necessary articles OF apparel
without bedding Of any Sort and completely exhausted
by tho long watches and the excitement to which they
had been subjected for fortnight previous. This being
the season for securing their fodderthe main reliance
Tor their stock during the winter-ther presence at
home was especially necessary and consequently great
dissatisfaction existed among them with strong de-
sire to return to their homes. Great efforts con-
stanty made by the friends Of the prisoner to excite dis
content among them. They told that the jailor's
summons was negal-that consequently If any attack
we're made and any person should be killed by them,
they would be murderers in the eye othe law that they
would never be paid for their services, &C. Being ge
nerally unniormed men, these statements had great Of
feet upon administrations frequent, and it was
the opinion Of the ailor and his officers that it would be
perfectly impossible to detain them much longer From
all we learned Clay county has been for years in do
plorable condton-for four years courts held
debts could therefore be collected punishment
ficted tor the most aggravated crimes-no taxes
paid and no mustors have been held among the militia
for fourteen years 1t is to be hoped that the prompt
action OF the Executive in sustaining the officers and
enforcing the law, will have the effect much TO de-
sired OF restoring order and peace to the community
At the time We left things becoming quiet
and the citizens less excited
