McEpcry, have assembled a large
body Of citizens, from two hundred
to tour hundred strong, who are
well armed aud equipped, having
two pieces Of artillery, to resist the
iorciblc taking possession Of the
Offices. The two bodies have been
IN close connection for several days,
audi conflict has been daily ex.
pccted. Tho result Of this trouble
will be the complete nnnihilation Of
either ono orthc other party, i hos

aro a remorseless pack ot thieves
