PREVIOUS* MURDER OF A DEPUTY- j
sheriff in pulaski county? (
-* ; the reign of tiie party of j
"inteligence, honesty," etc..
etc. ]
[From the Mis-Houri Uepulli- ,
can, August 21.] (
On Thursday afternoon last i
-Judge Lewis F. Wright and four (
V u o
sons, were cruelv and inhumanly (
murdered by the road-side, on
the route from Rolla to Hous- t
ton, some five miles west of the (
former place. The murders, as <
we are informed, were committed ]
by a squad ot' Miller county mill- ?
tia, some nine in number, under s
command of Colonel Babcoke, t
who resides in either Miller or ^
Cole county. It appears that (
this colonel and his squad ofmili- \
tia. on Tuesdav last,, went to the ,
*/ ' V
residence of Judge Wright, in (
Phelps county, about ten miles i
from Rolla. They remained there ; \
until Thursday. On that day j (
.they arrested Judge Wright and : <
live of his sons. Some sort of an ' <
investigation was made into aceu-11
salions brought against the par-;;
ties, either fancied or real, v'-.eu |'
it was determined to take them ;
to Rolla, as was given out for .
further trial. Mrs. Wright, the j j
wife and stepmother of the judge, |,
and his sons, at first implored i j
Colonel B:ii*?eoke not to take her !,
family awaj'. } <
Finding that her en treaties were | \
unavailing, she then besought him }
-to permit her to accompany them. \
This also was refused but upou
her imploring him to do something' ;
for her protection as she was fear. ,
ful of oeing murdered if kf. alone, ]
the youngest son a mere stripling, ?
wasreleased. Thejudge was then i
mounted ona horse by himself,and j
his four sons on two other horses, j
under g iard of the squad of mili- j
tia ostensibly to be taken to Rolla. ]
Before reaching that point, as stat- i
ed above, they were all inhumanly ]
butchered and. their bodies left ,
lving in the brush bytheroad- ,
side. No less than twenty-six t]
shots were fired-into the persons 1
of the five! Twelve of them took ;
' effect in the heads. Before the .
bodies were reached by the frantic
wife and mother and her remabring
son four,of the five were dead
unflfce fifth insensible and dying.
Abdul five o'clock Thursday evening
word came to Rclla that
the murders had been committed,
creating intense feeling of sorrow
and indignation. Nothing, however,
was done in the matter that
evening Next morning a wagon
was sent out, and the bodies of
the five murdered men brought
into Rolla. A. gentleman who
saw Ihcm says they presented a
horrible appearance?their faces
all ghastly with wounds and
blood, and blackened with now-:
cler. Judge --Wright Jiad._iic.cij j
shot in the side-faec, the weapon i
being held so close as to burn it'
and leave large blotches of pow- j
der sticking in the skin.
The judge is represented to us ;
as being about sixty years of age. |
and an estimable citizen. For
the past twenty-five years he had j
resided in Phelps county, and
held the office of county judge for
a number of years prior to the
war. Ever since the beginning j
of our troubles in Missouri he bad j
enjoyed the confidence and esteem
of the military in command j
in bis neighborhood his house!
being frequently the stopping-;
place of officers, whose men were j
camping at a beautiful spring on j
his premises and near his rcJ-j
[lence, Two gentlemen, intimate-j
ty acquainted in Phelps, assure j
us that 110 more honorable or more !
respected citzea lived in the!
country.
It is said Hint two of the mur
lercd sous had been in the re bid
amy, ami had returned since tin*!
;o afford them coantennncc unci
meouragement. We under darnl
:hnt some days previous, this ;
Colonel Babcoke started cither
rem Jefferson city, or the northern
part of Miller county, udth a
leiachment of fort}' or more men,
y,i his errand of blood. From
thence the}' travelled through
Miller into Pulaski county. Near
Wayuesville, the county seat of
Pulaski, they arrested W. Stewirt,
Esq., a respectable citizen,
formerly deputy-sheriff of the
jounty, whom they cruelly ppt
to death. They also arrested a[
lumber of men and women on \
their route, :md it-woman m said \
to be still missing, whom the.-c:
red-handed outlaws are beleived :
to have made away with.
The attention of Uovernor I
Fletcher is called to these heni-1
dus and atrocious outrages. lie j
lias been making speeches hero
ind there over the State, in!
ivhich he has denounced the
threats of the lawless men of his
party against returned rebels,
promising that even they should
be protected by the laws. Here
is a case in which two of these
men have been seized in open
lay and cruelly murdered byj
3th er men of his command, as com- j
mander-in-chcif of the militia of
the State, and in pay of the State.
Besides, there are fo#r, and probably
five others, all, so far as we
know, innocent end unoffending
citizens (one of whom is a woman)
atrociously .butchered by these
enemies of mankind, Until this
is done, for decency's sake, let
him never open his lips to utter
promises of protection to any Kan
or woman in Missouri. To do 30
would be cruel mockery added to
the murderous wrong. His party
friends are moraly guilty of these
offences. Newspapers, public
meetings, and grand juries, men
of his political faith, are daily and
every day advising and inciting
to the oomraission of these dia- i

Political Condition of Kf.xtd:- j

question. A holly contest*d :
political canvass is agitating the '
entire State. The following ex- (
tract of a letter from BrigadierGeneral
Fisk, Assistant Commissioner
of Free dm on, depicts the
condition of affairs in that State.] (
The ouly issue before thepeo-|.
pie of Kentucky is the ratification I

that the negro population, men,
