The Marshall Republican, November 1st,
says !; A. week or Two ago, We gave brief
account of the troubles 10 Cook county,
growing out Of the discovery Of q treasona;
bic plot to: surrender that portion Of the
State to Federal authority Cook county
is a Border county, contiguous to the rIndi.
an territory, and is thiDly inhabited, a great
portion, of the settlers being originally from
| Ohio and Indiana. H,seems there was a
secret organization formed, having. signs,
grips and pass-w ,rds. The members were
sworn to. secrecy, and those found worthy.
were entrusted with three degrees. :. The
first degree bound the member to secrecy
and to ,ayenge, Q brother members blood.
The second, degree was confined to robbipg,
jay.hawking, 80. The third contemplated
the reestablishment o.. the old Union, By,
some means the whole plot was discovered,
| and !, created, intense excitement. About
seventy men we're arrested, the most Of
them, as we, understand, low characters,
with here. aud there a man Of limited in
1 fuence About twenty -four of these were
tried and executed, when the community
was freshly, excited by the intelligence that
the son Of the hotel keeper; at GAINESVILLE,
(wbose name we do not recollect, , had been
ywaylaid aud assassinated several miles from
Itown,c, Col; William G, Young and seve.
raj others went out ito get the body, but
had not reached the; spot, when some one ol
Ein ambush shot Young through; the head,
killing him instantly, Such, vas. the ex-
asperatou caused by these assassioations
that theicommunity hung several others
The number executed in Cook county, ct
last accounts, reached AZ, and two others
were shot in attempting to make, stheirses-

however; to Grayson county; some few or.

it was1expectsd, would be summarily dealt
with. JtAltogetherssit lisa strange affair;
thatsa body of,=men, not Numbering <two
hundred, should concoctias Eplan aoesthis
kind, inviting invasion, when they.were
not liyingin a country which apzinaading
foe, would be likely to run the hazard of
entering, and when they must have rkaown
that the discovery of their. plans. would be
visited With condigna punishment. We
must infer that thieving aud robbing was
at the bottom ofthe affair. II ~ i
