ocrat Rangers" on suspicion Of being party
to the murder OF y oodrutf and Bashorc al
Sugar Greek, Powcshiok county, week be-
fore last, twenty seven have been released,
and it is thought probsblc that some Of the
remaining twenty may be set. Those who
are considered guilty or as participants IN
the outrage, have been turned over to the
civil authorities. 1t appears from the evi-
dcnce elected so far, that on the day Of the
murder portion OF the rangers met for drill
at Sugar Creek, and that while drilling, the
man Gleason rode to them and told them
that the officers were after the drafted men.
Four men left the ranks at once and went to
the road and perpctrated the murder, rs W.
have previously stated. The examination
Of those held to appear will commence be-
fore the United States Commission at once.
and subsequently the case will come up for
trial before the Federal courts, where it is
% he hoped that nothing less than ample
Justice will bc dealt out to these IN who
have thus outraged the laws Of the land

RATHER RIcu-Tn this mornings Gazette
we find, under the head OF Gov. Stones
Patriotic Reply to General Howard, some
very scathiDg remarks upon the adminis,ra-
ton, which can only be appreciated when
;hey gre read. The friends Of Gov. Stone
in this city are astonished that !le should
thus openly attack the administration, in
stating that Jefferson Davis and Abraham
Lincoln are alike guilty OF the blood of our
slaughtered countrymen,H and that the Vice
President is "a self constituted outlaw
The friends Of the Governor here have
determined to address letter to his Excel
lcncy demanding to know at once

has deserted his party or whether he was
drunk when he wrote that document adj

the Army Of East Tennessee, as printed up
on the second page Of to-day's Ga-etse.
Unless some satisfactory reply is at once
furnished steps will be taken to reduce him

disrespectful language towards superior
officer That the Cayette should tacitly en-
dorsc such language from the Governor Is
only to be accounted FOR upon the ground

ly favorable opinion of him. He represents
the thirty third district in the State Senate,
and enjoys the reputation Of being a man of
ability. AS he intends to canvass the dis.

an opportunity TO become better acquainted
