counties growing out of the draft. The prin-
cipal troubles were in the two last named,
where the Commissioners were obliged to fee

ed private property, including dwellings.
furniture, etc. A regiment Of troops was
dispatched to the scene of these operations,
and by arresting the ring-leadsrs, enforced
an obedience to the laws. About two hun.
dred persons have been arrested, sent to the
camps and put to work. One man who has
played the gentleman all his life, never hav.
ing done any work, is now engaged early and
late in saving cord wood, under guard Of an
armed soldier whose business it is to see that
the sawyer does a good days work. The
Governor has issued proclamation, in which
he says that the laws must and will be en-
forced, and that If necessary the military
force will be employed to enforce the rcspon'
sibilities which the law imposes upon him to
see executed.

GoBBLED UP BY GUERRILLAs.

A correspondent of the Missouri Democrat,
writing from Helena, under date of the 18th
inst, has the following:
81" The Lieutenant Colonel. Major and Sur
geon of the 26th Iowa, a regiment which has
lately made its debut here-concluded to
take trip across the river to visit another
Iowa regiment stationed there, and look at
the country, in short to make themselves =
self constituted accommodating party. They
accordingly put on their best appare:, char.
tered boat, crossed the river, and after Wis
iting the camps, started forth on their gayly
caparisoned steeds, on an excursion Of pleas
ure and discovery. Having passed the pick
ct lines, they observed dwelling ahead Of
them and several citizens" AS they suppos-
cd. standing around about it. Prompted
doubtless by conn endabe social and friend
" spirit, they rode in military gait towards
the strangers, to pass the morning solutions
and to have friendly " tete-a-tete." The
Colonel and Major, in full gallop, the surgeon
pressing hard after but considerably in the
rear, came down upon the citizen party. made
their salute according to the most approved
military etiquette, which greeting, to their as.
constituent and chagrin, was returned in true
guerrilla style-viz, three shot-guns were
put at the heads Of the Colonel and Major,
accompanied by the command to surrender,
which was promptly obeyod. The Surgeon,
however, being in the rear, and the attention
Of the guerrilas being especially directed to-
wards the larger game, was permitted to es.
cape. He wheeled his horse, and with wild
speed made for the Federal camp, pursued by
the gucrrillas to the picket lines.
The unfortunate officers arc not pitied by
any body here. They went (unarned) in
violation Of the orders Of Gen. Hovcy. out.
