upon intelligence brought by three men

They state that a battalion of 400 mout-

banners, with various devices, but not the
United States stars and stripes. During
the morning the Lawrence committee of
safety sent a note to .. S. Marshal An
derson, who headed the forces, assuring
him that they would make no resistance
to any process he might wish to serve,
and begging him to protect their lives and
property.
The Marshal made no answer, and at
IL o'clock a Deputy Marshal made his
appearance in the city with a posse of 10
men, and summoned 4 citizens to aid him
in arresting G. w. Desler and G.. w.
Smith. The request was complied with,
and the prisoners were quietly carried off.
Deputy Marshal Jones subsequently made
his appearance with Is men, and demand
ed the public and private arms, giving
the citizens 5 minutes to hand them over
in, or the town would be stormed. One
field piece was given up, but the people
refused to give up their private arms.

half hour with two. field pieces and an
overwhelming force. The work of des-
t~ruction was commenced by cannonading

Herald of Freedom. The former was
burnt, and the presses Of the latter des-
troyed.
