1t will be remembered by our readers thai
sometime in Decem Der last Ohio Hinton, a
noted guerilla and robber was captured at
Mrs. N ellis, twelve lies from this city, on
the Sedalia road. Hinton was kept closely
guarded with ball aud chain attached until
last Monday night, when he was killed by
his guard The facts are as follows:
Blunt, the captain Of the band OF guer-
rillss to which Hinton belonged, entered in
to a conspiracy with Miss Anna Tickle
dau shter Of Helvy II. Tickle, near Green
ton, Miss Ann Reid, Of this city, and a
soldier whom they believed they had brib-
ed, to kill the guard and rescue the prisoner.
The soldier was to have it go arranged that
the prisoner. at precisely seven O'Clock, on
Monday evening, would be at Mrs Red's
house, which is near the College, where the
prisoners are kept, under the pretext of get
ting his supper, the soldiers of course to be
ignorant of what was going 90. The time
rolled round, and prompt to the moment,
Hinton, under guard of Sergeant Kinkead.
walked down TO Mrs. Reds, where every
hing was arranged as had been preconcert-
ed, and as their supposed accomplish had
stated it would be.
The signal to commence and the plan of
carrying out the conspiracy was as follows:
At precisely seven O'Clock, Mrs. Reid was to
step into another room; when Hinton was
to gather up his ball and chain and propose
to his guard to return to the guard house,
and at the same time to advance to the
door, open it and step lesurely out and to
one side, and as the guard came out he was
to be met and killed by Blount the guerrilla
and John Burns, a m ember Co. /, 9Th prov.
reg, E. M. M. They were to cut the guards
throat If possible, otherwise to shoot him,
then remove Hinton's shackies, and take
him away. Mrs. Reid at the appointed
time stepped into the adjoining room, Hin
ton gathered his ball and chain and propos-
ed to return and advanced to the door, but
no sooner had ne placed his hand upon the
latch than Sergeant Kinkead fred and kill
ed him.
The soldier who disclosed the whole plan
to Lieut.. Kesinger the commander of the
Post, was with the Lieutenant and Captain
johnson, who with a dozen men were lay
ing in ambush about 100 yards from Mrs.
Reid's house, waiting for the approach of
the guerri,las- In few minutes after Hin
ton was killed. Burns and Blunt came walk

was expected they would, and the officers

answered, 81 am a friend" Lieutenant
Kefinger replied, Advance, friend, and
give the countersign.' Burns advanced
boldly. Blouut kept his position while Burns
approached. Billy Savins, the noble boy,
who they had attempted with women and
money to bribe, recognized Burns, (he had
served in the same company with him, } and
at the top of his voice cried out "Blount
and Burns, shootl' Burns was instantly
killed, but Blount wheeled and ran. Vol
ley after volley was fred at him, but with
out effect.
He ran through gardens, over ravines and
TUFTS high paling fence, and at this mo-
ment young Asher Of Co. II. rode up to h i'm
but before he could FIRE, Blount turned and
shot him dead. He run through Judge Us
garden into the woods, and made good his
escape.
Was there ever a more wicked conspiracy
to take human life entered into than this.
Mrs. Reid is seventy-eight years DID, and
yet she gave money to accomplish this bru-
tai murder and opened th g doors of her own
house and gave the signal for cutting fell
beings throat on her own Threshold
Miss Tickle is not twenty, and she under
took to bride a noble boy. the result of
which we have seen. These women will
be sent to Warrensburg where they will be
tried by Military Commission.
Although Blount made his escape, and
we lost noble and brave young soldier boy
as ever lifted gun, Hinton and Burns are
dead, the two women are on the swift road
to Justice, and some more women and men
too will be brought to light in a few days.
Such women! They would strange their
own children to carry any wicked purpose
their hearts might conceive.
E-At the convention of Abolition Jaco-
bins just adjourned in Louisville, one of the
speak ers asked: Where can we find better
territory to bestow upon the negroes, than
that which we are now couquerng?' Is it
to conquer territory for the negroes that
white men are splitting their blood? That
sort of a"Union" will we have, when the
war is over, and the Southern States in pos
session of the negroes?
