The Rebellion In Holmes County.

From the EleTe1ahd Herald, k0th 1n5t.J X :
Yesterday troop Of soldiers, yariously es,
tinated Mt from COO to 500, with two cannon,
marched into Nchland township, the rebel
hous part Of Holmes county. About dark on
the same day, one of tho "unterTitled" from
that quarter rode into this place (A1illersbnrg}
announcing that one Of their humber had
ali eady fallen, having been shot ut {aud not
missed) whilst attempting to pass the picket
guard Of the soldiers.
affair were In town yesterday, calling on their
friends here to help them In this hour Of their
Iced, and threatening that unless the call
was responded to promptly they would burn
the town. They saY that they have been ad-
Tised to their present course BY prominent
aid, material and otherwise If the worst
CAME to the-Worst- They now demand u full
ilmcnt Of this promise. I hare no doubt Of
the truth Of the statement OF these men. but
would cxonerate large matoritJ. Of our Dem
ocratic citizens from any guilt In the prem
men, il left to the exercise of their own
Judgment But there are q few here who
would fain outrival Kal1antfigham in treasoo.
These men are responsible for the lmentable
and diseraceful scenes now enactipg in our
county. More Of this hereafter.
This morning {the 16th) u number Of gen
hemcn, members of both parties, proceeded to
about m adjustment Of the difficulties with.
ont further b1oodshed. Richlaud township
has probably been eeleeted as the b4ttle-
ground, owing to It's adaptation for defence.
A majority Of the Inhabitants thereof partake
very largely Of the character Of the country,
very rough. They are German and French
andunciyilized natives,
prominent. Dcmocrat Of m adjoining
township, well known among tie bclligercnts,
has been to see them several times to counsel
obedience to The laws. He reports that tie
township, is full Of armed men from ad-
stjgators in the troubles, und but for them
order could be restored. The object
Of these men, undoubtedly is, to try the
success OF resistance In the North, and make
Holmes county the battle ground. Should 1t
tail they will etep off to their homes, leaving
said that the township is well. calculated for
defence, being mountainous and full Of deep
aud almost impossible rayines. This may
lave been another reason for, It's selection;
the number assembled there last Sabbath /
have heard yariously estimated from one to
three Thousand. They f1ocked thlther from
a1 parts OF the country, armed with all con
ceivable sorts Of guns. a number Of men
hare been engaged for week past In build
ing Notifications, &c,
THURSDAY, June 19. 1eG3.-The Peace Com
nlittee, or q part Of IL, returned from the seat
OF war last evening, having met with indiffer-
ent success. 1t looks now as If nothing will
do but resort to nrms. Large numbers Of
men are 1ocking to the scene Of hostiiities
from. the counties ofStark, Tuscarawas, Gosh
octon, Knox, Ashland and Wayne. TLeso
men arc doing all in their power to prevent
compromise.
On "Wednesday evening some fifty Of the.
traitors fired upon the soldiers from behind a
stone wall, wounding one OF them. The SOL
diers charged bayonels upon them, when they
all fed, with tue exception Of eight or ten,
who arc held.
