Fro-a the Louisville Courier-Journal, of
Wednesday,
OWEN COUNTY.
The threatened collision between the
United States soldiers and the State
troops ia Owen county hes been averted,
Governor Leslie and the United States
marshal having agreed upon 3 concert
of action in suppressing 10th the Walk
er-Russell and SmOOt parties. At this
writing it seems likely that all the Of
Tenders will be captured and brought to
trial. We have this morning a state
meUt from COunty-AttOrney Perry, on
whose call the State troops were sent
into Owen county, and also letter from
a citizen OF the county, the latter evil
uently an earnest sympRthizer with the
Walkers and Russells.
HART COUNTY.
MUMFORDVILLE, August 25.-There
Is considerable excitement in some pOr-
tiOns of this county about the negroes.
They have been having meetings about
at night, and l suppose several threats
have been made, but | do not think
there is any danger at present. The
citizens in some portions of the county
have out spies to ascertain what is
meant. do not think they have come
to any definite conclusion as TO what is
meant by those secret meetings.
GARRARD COUNTY.
STANFORD, August 25.-There is not
much news from Lancaster. Luther
Jackman, a man Of color, came in and
to Colonel Clark. He is
leader Of the black mob. Other leaders
did the same, and Su is quiet. The
State guards are behaving splendidly.
The guards are well dressed, and well
armed with needle-guns, the best in use.
The State guards have dress parade
every DAY on the public square. Sensa-
tioual reports are flying about, saying
armed blacks are coming in from Lex
ington, but there is no truth
ia them. The town is still
under martial law, aud well reg
llated. Several farmers out few miles |
from town mad horses taken. They are |
supposed to have been taken by negroes |
20 flee upon. The report that Sellers |
las gone to Washington City for cOun- /
vel is an idle Tumor, surely. Why /
ihould the government interfere with /
,ur governor, who has done 50 much to /
conserve the peace? Colonel Clarke,
General Traernicht, and all the officers
# the State guard are doing their duty.
The privates are behaving splendidly.
They have much fun with all their anx.
ETY.. l will assure you that We believe
he Lancaster war is over.
