An almost incalculable amount Of lying
was done about the little "rebellion" in
Richland tp., in this county. We have
watched everything said and done to arrive
at the whole truth in regard to the affair.
The. difficulty originated in this wise.--
Elias Robson, OF Washington township, was
enrolling the militia OF Richland. He is a
notoriously unpopular man IN that communi-
ty, and while making the enrolment he
called at house near De Wits cross. roads
and said to the women present, who were
frightened at the enrolment being made,
''you need not care ior your husbands being
taken away; can attend to all the women
in this neighborhood.p This brutality OF
Robson spread all over the township in a
very short space of time. A day or two
afterwards he called at place where four
Democrats were working at cellar, and
commenced TO talk to them OF "Butternuts"

treatment OF the women, was more than
they felt like enduring, and they rnn him

Provost Marshal Drake and U. s. Deputy
Marshal Anderson with posse OF IL men
came and arrested the four men who had as.
saulted Robson. After proceeding few
miles with their prisoners some fifty persons
stopped them demanded and obtained the
release OF the prisoners and their arms, and
made them promise never to come back to
the township on similar errand.
The pistols were fired off and returned to
them. All was then quiet until Wednesday
OF last week when some 600 soldiers made
their appearance in the township under
command Of Col. Wallace. These were dis.
tributed in squads over the township. One
squad fired upon George Butler, of Killbuck
township, who was travelling to Knox coun
ty on private business, and 80 severely woun.
ded him in the knee that he will probably
lose his leg, and possibly his lie. Quite a
number Of citizens Of Rehland and adjoining
townships in Knox and Coshocton countie
amounting in all to several hundred, hearing
Of the arrival Of the soldiers assembled to
protect their neighbors from arrest and dan
ger. During the evening squad OF citizens
fired upon o squad Of soldiers without effect;
the soldiers returned the fire and wounded
Mr.. Brown in the leg. On Thursday morn.
ing Hon. ID. P. Leadbetter, J ohm French,
Col d. French, Lieut.. Col. Baker and Rob-
ert Long, the three former Democrats and
the two latter Republicans, went out to use
their endesvors to settle the difficulty with,
out further bloodshed. They finally sues
ceeded in compromising on condition that
the four men who run off Robson should
deliver themselves up to be tried by the civil
authorities, and that Provost Marshal Drake
might arrest nine OF those who had been
most prominent in the rescue.
With this understanding oi affairs Col.
Wallace left with his command for Column
bus Immediately, and the citizens who had
gathered quietly dispersed. 'tg
During the time the peace Commission" !"
as it is commonly called here, were endsav-
oriDg to settle the affair number Of aboli-
tonists from this place and elsewhere, used
| all their endeavors to prevent a settlement.
They even entreated Col. Wallace to arrest
MIR. Leadbstter and Colonel French They
were anxious to see civil war inaugurated
here that would result in fearful destruction
Of life and property. J .ta'
The rebellion was not confined to the
Democratic party. Many Republicans Of the
immediate neighborhood participated in it.
Alter the trouble was fully under headway
three Republicans deserted and went in Col
Wallace's camp and rendered him their SER
vices, which he declined. sH RI.
In the settlement it was understood that
Mr.. Drake was to send decent man to mako
the enrolment OF that township.
Rake out an equal number OF the basest
pimps that inhabit the abodes of perditios,
and they would stand no show with the
Millersburg abolitionists in lying about this
affair. They have used the Cleveland Her,
aid as their mouthpiece.
Unfortunately Tor the peace of this county
| Provost Marshal Drake selected, with few
exceptions, imprudent and unpopular men to
make the enrolment. The men chosen
were partisan pets OF his.
While the soldiers were passing down to
Rchland township, and also while they
were there, number Of aboliti0nists used
strenuous exertions to get them to come to
| Millersburg and destroy the private proper
ty Of Democrats. Col. Wallace invited a
number Of these unprincipled outlaws to at
tend to their own business and assured them
that he understood his. Those OF our friends
who conversed with the Colonel speak very
highly of him as a gentleman and soldier.
About 100 men who came as soldiers but
did not belong to Gel. Wallace's command,
have since remained in the neighborhood in
| violation Of the agreement. 1t is rumored
they are committing various outrages upon
| the citizens, among which is that OF forcing
an oath upon men not to vote the Democrat
nc ticket.
So far as we are informed about dozen
persons have been arrested. The four who
ran off Robson have been released on bail.
