Tho account of the troubles In this
county heretofore published in the Gszstte,
is said TO be substantially correct by
parties who fied to save themselves and
families from the insults OF the mob.
Memphis papers containing later accounts
than we have published, state that g num-
be- of stores were sacked and burned, and
other outreges committed, The mob hiss
full sway. This has been the case now
for more than a week. That many of the
reports Of the outrsges sre exaggerated is
to be expected-but the fact that all the
prominent citizsns have left for fear of
violence, and some Of them are now in
this city, shows a fearful condition of
affairs. This information has been in the
possession of the Executive for several
days. He has sent his sdjutant. general TO
quell the disturbances, but
GRAVE APPKKHRNsIoNs
exist among many citizens that General
Danforth's visit will not have the desired
effect. The sheriff of the county, we
understand, has declared that nlyFederal
troops can restore order, for the reason be
fears the militia might fraterniEs with
the mob.
