East Tennessee say a party of mountain
desperadoes, headed by the notorious
Clabe Watson, Lee Watson, Bill Turner

were drunk, and armed with Winchester
rifles and largo Colts re divers. They
first oyerran the commissary department
and ate or destroyed all the provisions.
They then went to the shantes and cabins
occupied by the negro aborers, and beat
several Of them nearly to death. by this
time Hays and Rivenac had gathered
number Of their men together and opened
fire on the dcsporadoes, and pitched
battle took place, in which Judson Bell
and Lee Watson were mortally wounded
and the remainder OF the gang driven
away. The next day the piroaders, with
Officers Ingram and Gavin, Uided Yellow

Andy Watson, who has terrofizcd Bell

Tho Hermitage Ladies' Association,

The Hermitage Ladies' Association.
To the Editor Of The Appeals
Sir-A number OF ladies in Nashville
have recently formed themselves into an
association called the Hermitage Ladies'
Association, having for their object the
preservation OF the Hermitage forever Us
the home OF Andrew Jackson-that IL,
they wish TO establish memorial associa-
ton. They have procured II charter, and
have presented bill TO the Legislature
asking to be allowed TO purchase ON two
years limo the house, tomb, and 200
acres Of land lying Immediately adjacent
TO the house and tomb. This association
proposes to conduct itself upon the same
plan as the Mount Vernon Association,
which is thing OF national pride. There
are at the Hermitage all the rclics-that is
10 say. furniture, portraits, coins collected
by Andrew Jackson, his numerous swords,
u whole cabinet OF curiosilics, the bed ON
which he died, the chair ON which lac sat,
the spoctacles he wore, the Bible he read,
the table that held his candle, aud hum
dreds OF beautiful articles that were
in actual use by him in his
lifetime. II the present residents
Of the Hermitage remove from there aud
take with them these things, there would
be insurmounlablc difficulties in the way
OF restoring the homestead II il was ever
done. In fact, these ladies forming this
association feel that II the opportunity is
lost now IL will never occur again. They
propose 10 make the association u national
one, ask assistance from every State in the
Union, 90 make OF the Hermitage a ma
tional museum, rs Mount Vernon ia. II
will oven surpass the latter in the wealth
OF the beautiful relies, most OF those be-
longing TO Mount Vernon being only
duplicates OF the original.
The only hindance TO the pcrlccting OF
this project IL that the Legislature had al.
ready been pctitioned TO give the property
for soldiers home. The ladies do not
wish to Illustrate the building oia soldiers
home, but do not wish Il Dot right around
the Hermitage homestead. and they think
that the same end can be attained by the
States selling 10 the association the 200
acres aud conveying the money to the use
Of the soldiers home, or better still, Civ
ing Il out in pensions TO them In their own
homes.

CmcAGo, ILL.,, March IA dispatch
from Oklahoma, lnd. T., says The situa-
ton in Oklahoma n growing critical. Be-
tween POO and 800 men have taken up
claims in the immediate vicinity OF this
place. Nearly all the valuable land on the
river bottom, nom the neghborhood OF
Fort Reno on the west 10 the Pottawatta-
mic reservation on,lhc east, has been taken
up and il held by the usual squatters.

cell, anu Il is reported that Harry llill has
started with 400. They will bo met here
by Col. Cole aud several hundred boomers
from the western portion OF the Ter
ritory. The congress OF anxious BOOM
crs who have been waiting at
Purcell for weeks can scarcely be
held back, and altogether the indications
are that there will be fully 1000 men here
inside of a week, unless the military moves
from Fort Reno at once. Preparations for
a raid have been going on nt the fort for
some time, aud It Is expected they will
move tomorrow or next day. The probl-
biltics are, however, that raid Of the
soldiers would only result in a scattering
OF the squaticrs through the woods. rs
they are already within the limits OF Okla

HARRIsoNBURG, Va, June 12.-The Ger
man Baptists dealt their sisters another
blow to-day. Some of the brethren con-
tended very earnestly that as the sisters
did valuable work in the Sunday-school
missions, they ought to nave a voice asdel-
egates in the conference meetings, but the
male sex would not have it. They were SO
ton yesterday might be misconstrued that
it was called up again, and their members
were instructed not to join with pol
iticians in favoring the sale and man.
ufacture of liquor in any way. They seemed
glad the matter was disposed Of without a
hot debate. When members were in
structed not to use or deal in tobacco, a
Virginia delegate said that article was
worth 5000, OOO, 600 in the United States and
warned the meeting to 60 slow in cutting
off the growers and dealers in tobacco
among the Dunkards from making a liv-
ing. If they were prohibited from having
anything to do with tobacco. it would
bring starvation to many homes. This
speech produced an impression on the
meeting, and many advised brethren not
TO go too far. Encouraging reports were
read on home missions and those in Den
mark n Sweden. A missionary will be-
sent to the latter field. Christian Hope. a
Danish missionary, gave an account of his
work. A general railroad agent was APP
pointed to arrange for the next annual

people were present. The meeting will
