Alarming State OF Affairs I'm Knox
and Cosmos ON Counties, Ohio.

and Ceshocton Counties, ohio.
A private letter to a member Of the
Legislature is published in the Columbus
(Ohio) Fact which shows rather an alarm
ing state of affairs in Knox and Coshocton
counties in this State, The Fact is AS.
sured that the writer is a gentleman Of
character, whose words may be relied up-
90. o We take the following extract from
the letter:
"Afairs here at this time are alarming
to the friends of the Government Such
is the state of things that it would require
but little more to precipitate us into civil
war. i cannot better give you to under
stand this than by saying that Presby-
terrain preacher from Carlisle, Coshocton
county, preached in Milwood, few days
since. what he called peace sermon, and
the Copperheads, protesting to have heard
that he would not be permitted TO preae b
/ treason there, came in vast numbers, each
having scarcely conceaied revolver, and
not only thus armed, but maddened with
whisky. From this you will readily per
ceiyc that there was mass of CONDUIT
bic matter that the least spark weald ~
ute. Indeed much doubt il in Tie
townships of Jackson, Butler and Harri
son, there are a dozen men. COR boys Over
sixteen years of age,) who were Demo
Gratis, and are now copperheads, that have
, not now revolver. How il is in othe,
, townships | do not know, but in tn,
, township of Coshocton, bordering Q,
Knox, it is no better AT s.hoedown'
J at Walhonding, not long ago, they go
the impression that somebody Was abou
? to arrest deserter who was there, an
i instantaneously some twenty pistols wer
produced. Indeed, the more moderate G
them are already advising Union men
6 one in particular, who is discharge
e soldier, that they must not talk so plat
TO these men, as they are all armed, an
;. they would shoot him. "A reign of te
ror,' suppose, is to be got up here, as
was by their Southern friends in Dixi
J to shut the mouths OF Union men. so tn,
c they shall not speak. much less act,
