Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1878-09-04

lpandemonium ITSELF and Sunday morn
ing dawned with men in sight in every
direction. Peck's daughter went to tho
spring, but Morgan took away her
bucket, and she, Mr.. Henly, and others
were given one minute to get into the
house or be shot. The road had been
bsrricaded by high fences and
the blockade was complete. Firing
was kept up regularly about every ten
minutes. At 10A. NJ. it rained, and we
gotta supply of water, but, possibly to
keep their guns dry, firing was doubled.
Now and then We saw chance to get in n
good shot and promptly put it there.
This was the cordition of things when
negotiations fer cessation Of hostili.
ties commenced. Richard, Pippen, and
&. W Terry came in from Morgan
went pack to him, and returned with a
message that, if we moved a petition to
the president and federal court to pardon
their otfenses up to date they would let
us out. We reported that we could
not control the action Of the federal
court, and would promise nothing we
could not comply with: that we were citi-
zens of the United States and Tennessee,
and had n right to be protected; that
most Of these men had come from dis
tant county, some thirty or forty miles
from home, t. pursue and attack MS;
that we had plenty ofammunition, and
help was coming. They returned
TO Morgan, who said he
had heard Davis would kill
him on sight, and he did this to defend
himself; that if the government had
any process to serve on him, and would
give it to any person to serve besides
Davis he would promptly answer it and
give bond, and use his influence to cor
rect the ways of his neighborhood, and
this should be the last shot, and he would
make friends, and requested that his
men be allowed to pass the road on the
way home. This proposition was readi-
ly acceded to. Morgan and his men
went home, and we to Cookeville. We
were told that young man named
Gentry, of Morgan's men had been
killed, and several others of his party
wounded.

letter from Rev. w. N. Scott.

A private letter has just been received
from Mr.. Scott, dated London, June 18th.
He says:
am happy to say that since we set out
upon our journey we have been greatly
favored and blessed in every way. The
ocean trip, batting few days OF foggy
weather ut the first, was an unusually plea
SAINT and comfortable one, aud many agree
able acquaintance were formed on ship
board. The ship was the same in which
DIR. Brown and the brethren to the Edin-
burgh Council crossed over last summer,
and is & fine ship and eXcellently oficered.
We have visited many points OF interest
both in Scotland and England, and are
now, as you see, in the worlds great me-
tropolis. would like to speak OF some OF
these, and especially OF the old town and
castle of Stirling, where was perhaps
more interested than at any point before
reaching London; but you know how inn
practicable 1t is to write full and interest
ing letter in the hurry and attendant weari-
ness OF sightseeing when you have but y
limited time in which to do great deal.
We spent last Sabbath in Edinburgh, and
a delightful day it was. In the morning l
Heard DR.. Lindsay Alexander. and in the
afsern0on DR.. White, OF Free st. Georges;
both able and excellent sermons. But that
which specially delighted me was the way
In which the Lords day is honored and OBJ
served in that Presbyterian seat. The
streets were thlonged both morning and af-
terno0n with the people going or returning
from church, but quiet and decorum
prevailed everywhere which could not
fail TO impress the stranger us he looked
