SECESSION ACCOUNT OF THE LATE Engage
MENT NEAR WARsAw.-A prominent gentle
man, of Union, Boone County, KY, who /.
inclined to the Southern cause, but who il
represented to US as gentleman of veracity
states that he was in the neighborhood o.
Paint Creek when the late engagement was
reported to have taken place, and his ac-
count Of the affair differs materially from the
one we published yesterday He states that
the detachment of Federal troops from War
saw went TO Paint Creek and called ont two
men from their houses, who were Secession
lists, and shot them without provOcatiou.
The men who were shot were at one time
members of the Warsaw Home Guard, but
incliniug somewhat to the Secessonists
they refused to take any part with the com
peny in their opposition to the rebels. Il
had been reported to the company at War
saw that these men were engaged in deter
ring others from enlisting in the Federal
army, which exasperated them to such an
extent that they marched to their houses
and calling them out, shot them while they
were sitting on fence. We do not vouch
for this story, but give it merely for what il
| ia worth
