armed with every conceivable SORT of weap-

they are after. and who are still believed
to be those who lately escaped from Jail
at Pittsylvania Court House, are caught
or driven out of the neighborhood Since
the publication of the Presidents nil

has come over the spirit of their dreams, and

coded him, is still at large. He is Que Of the
coIored men who was committed for an assault
upon Justice Basil Brawner-the other one,
Jesse Triplett, having escaped week or two
ago. The continued escapes, the mutiuous
character of the gang. and the repeated con-

wrought upon its-comwander that he has been
made positively sick, and the force was out

command those Of the gang who are quartered
in The jail, and Lieutenant Latteu those who
are imprisoned in the work house.

ierland, says 1.-THE strike of the boatmen Oh
the Chesapeake aud Ohio Canal against the
various coal companies operating in the Gun

more past, was terminated this morning. The
boatmcn demanded an advance Of ten cents per

This would indicate that there must have been
some revival Of the demand for the sem-bitu-

EDs. JOURNAL Please allow me
through the columns of your valuable
paper to suggest the propriety of organ
izing at an early date, in Pierce Coun
ty, au organization to be known and
called by the title first above named, or
such other title as the proposed organ
ization may see fit to adopt.
Is it not desirable ere long to have a
history Of our county? Commence, if
you please, as far back as when Wiscon-
sin was a territory and give some of the
most important events as they occur up
to the organization OF our county, then
carefully, correctly and infinitely detail
its history. Such history would be
interesting and Of no little Importance
to many. IT'S a verify that the old
must die, the young may die. Action,
immediate action in this matter seems
to be essential. We have among us
many old pioneers who are being called
away one by one to return no more.
Those left, / have no doubt, viii, if OPP.
portunlty offer, gladly contribute freely
Of their knowledge, without which such
a work as suggested could not be so
easily or accurately written up. This
as first stated, is only by way Of sug-
ton, and hoping to see movement in
this direction, l will mention those
names occurring to my mind whose aid
will help very much in this matter;
hoping, however, those not named, for
lack of knowledge Of names, will feel
alike Interested. II. Doe, Geo ".
