,od their desperate encounter with the
rnogar Indians yesterday afternoon. Up TO

.-ounds for fearing that General Bacon and
s,s command had been annihilated. No direct
-.o-s had been received from any man VINO
..r,,c,nated in the first battle. Early this

This makes 1t certain that General Bacon

are safe from annihilation, must be deporable
They are ill-supphed with overcoats and

they were in no shape to stand long siege.
SLEEPING ON THEIR ARMS.
The people here that have arms are all sleep
ing on their guns tonight. and IT is pitifuly

coming in early this evening with reports Of
seeing Indians in parties Of five 10 twelve and
all armed and appearing as If they were look
ing for trouble. AS the night has come on the
reports have continued TO come in. and the
alarm has increased.
Finally the business men at II o'clock sent
a request TO Governor Clough for arms and am
munltion for two hundred men and further pro-
lection In the form of troops special train

are entertained for it's safety. as It is not un-
