MORE OF THE ORANGE COUNTY DIFFICULTY.-The
Woodvile (Tyler county) Messenger, of the 10th
inst, says:
| we learn that company of armed men from An
gena county arrived in the town of Jaspera few days
since, on their way to arrest the persons composing
the regulating company Of Orange county. On theil
arrival in Jasper, three of the company arrested
BY the Sheriff of that county, by virtue Of warrant
issued from Orange county, charging them with being
accessory to the murder of Deputy Of Orange county
They are now in custody Of the Sheriff Of Jasper
county where they will probably remain until affairs
become more settled in Orange. 1t is also rumoreG
that another company was lying in wait for the An
gellna company, about fifteen miles from Jasper.
Our informant does not vonch for the truth OF this
rumor. Indeed there are so many conflicting rumOrS
aioat, touching these unhappy difficulties, that we
scarcely know what to credit The company from
Angelina were induced, by the persuasons of the
citizens of Jasper, to return home. ., f,
The Liberty Gazette learns from gentleman whe
