erty. Colonel Morrison, at Parkers-
burg, was given orders early yester
day to call out his regiment and pro-
coed by special train to Thurmond,
which will be headquarters. The
cause for this action by the governor
is the appeal of Sheriff Daniel, Of
Fayette county, for assistance, on the
ground that many citizens refuse to
respond to his summons to >act as
deputies to enable him to execute the
orders of his court and his declaration
that he is powerless to protect life
and property. He communicated with
