1t is but seldom that obtrude myself upon the
public. and. perhaps, as am nothing but native
born Missourian, have no right to do so. But
with the permission of my royal lords and masters
will venture word now not for myself but on
account Of some of my friends.
1t will be remembered that about week ago,
several hundred Lincoln troops were sent up the
North Missouri Railroad to st. Charles county for
the avowed purpose o: guarding bridges and pro-
tectpg citizens. They went into a neighborhood
where the citizens were gu city engaged in their
ordinary pursuits and at peace with each other.
They secured the country for six or seven miles
carried away destroyed the property of the citi
zens. Many persons upon the roads and by-paths
their shirt sleeves passing to and from their daily
labors. were arrested by them, forced to go with
them withersoever they choose, detained long as
their captOrs fit, and then discharged, often
unquestOned. and always without a word Of expla-
nation. On Tuesday last they went to the house of
DR.. Darius Heald during his absence, searched his
house, and committed many acts of gross and petty
depreciation upon his property, (all of which can
easily be particulariz d and proved if occasion

taken to bed and wit 10 few hours after became
the mother of still born child. They falsely char
ged Mr.. Head with being the Captain OF a seces-
sion company, and declared that they would search
the country until they found him. accompanied
with wholesale threats of extreme punishment
when they should find him. They environed his
house and he was compelled to lodge in the woods
both night and day.
Let no one think that Darius Heald is a coward
because he fled from Llncoln's hirehngs more
courageous man and one quicker upon the sights Ct
the rifle walks not upon the earth But next to
that of his home he loves the freedom of his native
woods and declares he will enjoy it at the risk of
his life. To be arrested criminal. dragged 10

PEELED to give bond to appear and answer to such
charge is much more than he has any idea of al
lowing. Mr.. II. was member of our Legislature
from St. Charles county two years ago. He is a
quiet order loving. law abiding citizen. and no one
is more highly esteemed for social qualities.
