More Trouble
����������� The
militia of this county assembled here on Tuesday last, by order of the
commanding officer.� They were properly
disposed of, to meet the enemy who are threatening this section.� This enemy comes not in the shape of Northern
soldiers but is composed of disloyal men from Tennessee and our own State.� A force of about one hundred visited the town
of Marshall, 20
miles north of this, one day last week, and sacked the place.� They are threatening to pay Ashville a visit,
and have been expected for several days.�
A similar condition of affairs exists in Yancy
and Mitchell counties, as we learn from a gentleman occupying an official
position in the former county, and who writes here to his superior officer
asking advice.
����������� Movements
are on foot which it is hoped will restore order and security to this
distracted country, and which will be fully known in due time.
