A curious report has been received from one
OF the interior counties which known 10 be infested
with bushwbackers. The story goes that. Meeting q
delegates from several gangs Of guerrias was recenv
held at rendezvous in Clay County to determine xhsS
course should be pursued in future. Pool Hotsclsw:
Quantrel and few others were wiling to surreudss
on terms proposed by zen. Dodge. viz: TO allow each
Rebel TO be paroed and return homej but Joe Porter
who has but recently returned from the South. San
Hldebrand Jim Jackson, and Others were unwilling 70
surrender but thought they should continue in The
bush until they had revenge on the Unonists for the
damage done to Southern sTmpathize's. But nothing
was finally accomplished and the conference broke a
without any agreement. Tie next day HoiIscAW.

There is firm determination manifested in certain
interior coun;e not to allow paroled Rebels to return
in safety TO their Old homes. The memory Of the foul
outrages committed by these during the last four
years has rot passed away and it would be contrary to
human nature if outraged people could easily forget
these things. This OF the points OF difference
