a most distressing occurrence took
place in an adjoining district, & few
ghts ago. An old gentleman, residing
j. tie cnuntry, who. from the circum.

some one on his premises at night, hailed
ttrc times, and receiv'ng no answer,

Advancing to ascertain the effect of
his SHOT, with Undesirable anguish he
discovered TIC body Of his son in the last
agonics Of dea'l,--a aon who had long
heen = prisoner at rhc North, partial
deafness prevented his hearing his fathers
challenge.
After i. lhnq and wcar;sonc absence

The father whom he loved and longed 10

wrapt in grief inconsoiable by this most
terrific and affecting event. A sad warn-

About five o'clock Thursday eve
ming word came to Rclla tha'
the murders had been committed
creating intense feeling of sorrow
and indignation. Nothing, how
ever, was done in the matter thai
evening, Next morning a Wagon
was sent out, and the bodies ct
the five murdered men brought
into Rolla. A. gentleman who
saw them says they presented a
horrible appcarance-thcir faces
all ghastly with wounds and
blood, and blackcned With pow
der. judge Wright had bccp
shot in the side-face, the weapon
being held so close as to burn it
and leave large blotchcs OF pow
der sticking in the skin.
The judge is representedto us
as being about sixty years Of age,
and an estimable citizen. For
the past twenty-five years he had
resided in Phelps county, and
held the office of county judge for
"a number Of years prior to the
war. Ever since the beginning
Of our troubles III Missouri he hid
enjoyed the confidence and cs-
teem Of the military in command
in bis ncighborhooa his hou3c
being frequently the stopping
place Of officers, whose men were
camping at u beautiful spring on
his premises and. near his rc:i-
dence, Two gentlemen: intimate
ly acquainted in Phelps, assure
us that no more honorable or more
respected citizen lived in the
country.
II IS said that two CT the nnu;-
,!ercl SONS hid been in tic rebel
aCuy, and hati returned since the
sur:cntlcmr OF General iii!: THv-
lor, under whose coiusn&ncd. one
of them had served. 1t may be
that this was the cause inducing
the~cold-blootlca murder ofnearly
a whole family. To thcir, credit
and TO credit 7o1 -tne whore ne.ss5
borhood, it should be said, how
ever, these young mon were be-
having themselves with becoming
propricty, their conduct gaining
them the confidence and good
will Of many Union soldiers and
citizens in that community. So
indignant were some ofthesc SOL
diers at the brutal outrage pelpe-
tr;,ted in their murder. that they
at once expressed a willingness
to volunteer and "clean out" their
cowardly murderers. And it is
all the more damning to the law
les brigands at whose hands this
atocity asperpetrated, that they
should travel many miles from
their homes to pcrpetrate it,
VIII lc the loyal and .law-abiding
Of that community were willing
to afford them countenance and
encouragement. We undtr:tand
that some days previous, this
Colonel Babcoke started either
from Jefferson city, or the north
crn p:trt of Miller county, with a
detachment of forty or more men,
on his errand Of blood. From
thence they travelled through
Miller into Pulaski county. Near
Waynesvillc, the county seat of
Pulaski, they arrested W. Stew

formerly deputy-sheriff of the
county, whom they cruelty PIT
to death. They also ar; c*ted a

On Thursday afternoon last
Judge Lewis T. Wright and four
sons, were cruely and inhumanly
murdered by the roadside, on
the route from Rolla to Hous-
ton, some five miles west of the
former place. The murders, as
we are informed, were committed
by a squad OF Miller county mill
tia, some nine in number, under
command of Colonel Babcoke,
who resides in either Miller or
Cole county. 1t appears that
this colonel and his squad ofmili-
tia. on Tuesday last, went to the
residence Of Judge Wright, in
Phelps county, about ten miles
from Roll;t. They remained there
until Thursday. On that day
they arrested Judge Wright and
five Of his sons. Some sort Of an
investigation was made into accu-
satlons brought against the par
ties, either Emcied or real, Wen
it was determined to take than
to liolla, as was given out for
further trial. Mrs. Wright, the
wife and stepmother of the Judge,
and his sons, at first implcrcd
Colonel B:rhcoke not to take hv.
family away.
Finding that her rentrcaties were
:unavailing, she then besought him
to permit her to accompany them.
This also was refused but upou
her imploring him to dosomcthing

wasreleased. Thejudgewas then
mounted ona horse by himself,and
his four sons on two other horses,

Before reaching thatpoint, as stat
ed above, they were allinhumanly
butchered and their bodies left
lying in the brush by theroad-
side. No less than twenty-six
shots were fred.into the persons
of the five! Twelve of them took
