huntin down these dangerous incenjsres
with dorgs, and KILN w en-, for ez they
exceeded us In numbers, We RELY trcmbled
for the safety Nv our wives and children,
After terrible day, tho agitated town
wus restored to woutid peece, and tho
citizens slept ez yoosual. The CASUALTIES
on our side IL not Oh large es mite hev bin
expected, when We consider the fearful per.
pus Nv the barbarians who assaled US
Dcekin Pogram wuz serusly injured by a
rock which Issaker Gavitt his,ed strste up
In his unthinkin excitement, and poor ker
mel McPelter's shot gun bust the second
time he fired It, takin of his ihum. These
injuries sustained by our citizens, may be
charged directly TO the Internal spirit Nv the
inslent niggers wood pervoke our peacefy
inlcined people. but they suffer Tor L..
Eleven Nv en- wuz killed, aud somo thirty
or forty WIZ wounded. The latter hev bin
all cared tor. They wuz tnken to the Coun.
ty Infrmry for treatinent-the expenses
bein charged up 10 em es lien upon their
property, which will w coorse be sold to
deirny It.
Our citizens do not boast Nv wat they
hev done, They feel u WE an unpleasant
dooty they he'd to perform, but they had to
do II. Corrupt and reckless men hev bin
leading the Colorcd people nstray, and they
he'd to defend themselves. lied they only
taken my advice and not attempted to hold
their meeiin this wood not hev happened.
He'd they not hev come into the Corners
with moosic and National flag a fyin,
they woud not hev bin killed. And even
then he'd they gone on quietly niier the
first one wuz shot and the Others WIZ
knockt down with stuns, ! doubt whether
anything moro wood her bin dun.
They shoodent hev held meetns. We
can never endoor meetins Nv niggers, and
we never will. KNOWN this, why will
they persist IN holdin Nv en-?
Ex for secession, we hey given that up
also. We can't DO expected to relinquist'
our grnte principle Nv State rites, nor kin
we give over the rite Nv withdrawal from .
government wich don't SCOT us. Nv cours
we shel not attempt withdrawal ez long ez
Ablishnisis control the bayonets, for we
ain't strong enough. But shood we decide
10 withdraw, and coercion be attempted,
we shel Nv coors resist. But we wont do
it-probaby. The organizations In the
South, wich is interspersed with muskcts
and sich, is simply for self.proteotion agin
niggers and northern whites.
In conclooshen, we wish yoo to ashoor
the reeple OF Injianny, that all we want Is
peese, offs and genral rcstorashen Nv
things, and that we mint at oil partikelar ez

nigges with genooine Kentucky humanity.
We want self:government, not only Nv our.
