condition Of affairs there as even worse

The McEne'y party is armed ard arm

this time Gov. Kellogg has not called

last decision of Acting Secretary of War
Robson, Gen Emory is not authorized
to use the National troops until lie does

government Of Louisiana
Judge Abel ordered the report llled,

to appear before the grand jury. The
grand jury will also report against the
Metropolitan police.
Evening-The excitement prevailing
throughout the city was increased this
evening by repert that Kellogg had
been shot. The report was untrue, but it
appears pistol was fired near him, and
some reports say at him. The Superin-

The resisters assert, although the Uni

tinsville upon application of the .. S
Marshal upon the plea of serving civil
processes, that their real object or the eff
feet Of their mission will be to relieve the
Metropolitans, whose piteous cries fol

the mob in breaking into gun stores, las

Those Who Borrow Papers.

We are prepared, after careful estimate,
to state the shameful fact that four hundred
persons, heads Of families in Lincoln county,
read The INTERIOR JOURNAL regularly,
whose names do not appear on our list, and
who do not pay cent towards the paper's
support. Now, we may overestimate the i'm
portance to the county Of the enterprise in
which We are engaged, but We dare say il is Of
sufficient importance to command the
cheerful support Of at least two-thirds Of our
voting population. With that support, in
addition to the liberal patronage we get from
adjoining counties, the proprietors Of this
Journal could realize a sufficient sum in excess
of their current expenses to justify them in
enlarging the paper and employing editorial
assistance that would make il equal in all re-
spects to the best country paper in the State
II it is the manifest duty Of the citizens OF
Lincoln county to foster and encourage q

epzy citizen to aid in supporting the enter
prise. Your local paper is but a reflection OF
yourself If it is poorly paid, and conse.
quently poorly printed, and its columns are
filled with sundry humbugs and stuff OF
doubtful propriety, it Is but the reflection Of
the enterprise and public spirit Of the people
Of the county in which il is published, and
the question is asked, as this the best sheet
