Horrible Outrage In Missouri.
JUDGE WBIOHT AND FOim OF HIS SONS MURDERED BY
COLONEL IIAIICOKK AND A PARTY OF H1H MILITARY?
PREVIOUS MURDER OF A*DEPUTY-SHERIFF IN PULABKI
COUNTY?THE 11EIGN OF THE PARTY OF "iNTELia
OENOE, HONESTY," ETC., ET?J.
[ from the Afissiouri Republican, August 21.]
On Tlmrmlay afternoon last Judge Lewis F.
Wright and four sons were cruelly nnd inhumanly
nmrilorcd by the ruad-sido, on tho routo from
Hollo, to Houston, tiomo fivo miles west of tho for
mer placo. The murders, as wo aro informed,
?raro committed by a quad of Millor county
militia, Bomo nino in nuinbor, under command of
Colonel Babcoko, wlio resides in oither Miller or
Colo county. It appears that this colonol and his
?quad of militia, on Tuesday last, went to tho resi
dence of Judge Wright, in Fholps county, about
tou miles from Rolla. They remained thcro until
Thursday. On that day thoy arrested Judge
"Wright and five of his sons. Homo sort of an in
vestigation was made into accusations brought
against tho partios, cither fancied or real, when it
was determined to tako them to Rolla, as was
given out for fiuthor trial. Mrs. Wright, tho wife
and stepmother of the judge, and his sons, at first
implored Colonel Rabcokc not to take her family
away.
Finding that her entreaties wero unavailing, ?he
thon besought him to permit her to accompany
thorn. This also was refused, but upon her implo
ring him to do something for her protection, ce
sho was fearful of being murdered if left alone,
tho youngest son, a mero stripling, was rcloascd.
Tho juego was then mounted on a horse by him
self, ana his four sons on two other horses, under
funrd of tho squad of militia, ostensibly to bo ta
on to Rolla. Eoforo reaching that point, as stated
above, they wero all inhumanly butchered nnd
their bodies left lying in tho brush by tho road-side.
No less than twenty-six shots were fired iuto the
pornoiiB of the fivo I Twelvo of them took effect
in tho hen els. Before tho bodies were reached by
tho frantic wife and mother and her remaining
?on, four of the fivo wero doad, nnd tho fifth insen
sible and dying. About five o'clock Thursday eve
Ding word came to Rolla that the murders had
been committed, creating intense feelings of sor
row and indignation. Nothing, however, was dono
in tho matter that evening. Next morning a wagon
was sent out, and the bodies of tho fivo murdered
men were brought into Rolla. A gentleman who
?aw them says they presented a horriblo appear
ance?their faces all ghastly with wounds and
blood, and blackened with powder. Judge Wright
had been shot in tho side-lace, tho weapon being
held so cloeo as to bum it, and leave largo blotches
of powder sticking in the skin.
The judgo is represented to us as being about
sixty years of age, and an estimablo citizen. For
the past twentv-fivo years ho had resided in Phelps
county, and held tho oftico of county judge for a
number of years prior to tho war. Ever since the
beginning of our troubles in Missouri he had en
joyad the confidence and esteem of tho military in
command in his neighborhood, his house being
"frequently the stopping-place of officers, whoBe
men wero camping at a beautiful spring on his
premises and near his rcsidepco, Two gentlemen,
intimately acquainted in Phclpe, assure us that no
more honorable or more respected citizen lived in
?he country.
It ?B e&id that two of tho niurdored sons had
been in tho robel armv, and had returnod since {.ho
gurrender of General rjufc Jjjjjr, under ^Obo
comma?*.;, one of them had served. It may bo that
"this wae the cause inducing tho cold-blooded mur
der of nearly a whole family. To their credit, and
to the credit of the wholo neighborhood, it should
bo said, however, these young men were behav
ing themselves with becoming propriety, their
conduct gaining them the confluence and good
will of many Union soldiers and citizens in that
community. So indignant were somo of these
soltiiers at tho brutal outrage perpetrated in their
murder, that they at once expressed a willingness
to -volunteer and "clean out" their cowardly mur
derers. And it is all tho more damning to thciawleHS
brigands at whose hands this atrocity was perpe
trated, that they should travel many miles from
their homos to perpetrate it, while tho loyal and
law-abiding of that community were willing to
afford them countenance and encouragement. We
?n/Utr-tentl Hint nnnin ?lavs previous. thiB Colonel
Babcoke started either from Jefferson city, or tue
northern part of Miller county, with a detachment
of forty or more men, on his errand of blood.
From theneo they traveled through Miller into
Ptdaski county. Near Waynesville, the county scat
?of Pulaaki, they arrested w? Stewart, Esq., a re
spectable citizen, formerly deputy-sheriff of tho
county, whom they cruelly put to death. They
also arrested a number of men and women on
their route, and a woman is said to be still missing,
whom these red-handed outlaws are believed to
have made away with.
The attention of Governor Fletcher is called to
these heinous and atrocious outrages. He has
been making speeches here and there over the
State, in which he has denounced tho threats of
the lawless men of Iub party against returned
rebels, promising that oven they should bo pro
tected by the laws. Here is a case in which two
of these men have been seized in open day and
cruelly murdered by other men under his com
mand, as commander-in-chiof of the militia of the
State, and in pay of the State. Besides, there are
four, and probably fivo others, all, so far as we
know, innocent and unoffending citizens (one of
whom is a woman) atrociously butchered bv theae
. enemies of mankind. Let him set about to causo
' the arrest and punishment of these bloody
marauders. Until this is done, for decency's sake,
let him never open his lips to utter promises of
Srotection to any man or woman in Missouri. To
o so would be cruel mockery added to the mur
derous wrong. His party friends aro morally
guilty of these offences. Newspapers, public meet
ings, and grand juries, men of Ins political faith,
are daily and every day advising and inciting to
the commission of these diabolical deeds. Let him
see to it that the perpetrators aro punished. If ho
do not the blood of innocent victims will cry from
the ground against him. Since the above was
writtcn, we have been shown a lotto?- from a high
ly respectable Union man, residing at Rolla, from
which we make the following extract referring to
the horriblo affair, of which we have attempted to
give a detail :
"Judge L. F. Wright and/our of his sons wero
yesterday most brutally shot and murdered by a
mob of Miller County militia, under command of
Colonel Babcoko. Tho bodies havo bcoi?. brought
into town to-day, and a coroner's jury is now hold
ing an inquest. Much indignation and excitement,
as well as sorrow, is expressed by all parties in
^ politics. The militia, numbering about forty, have
* been ordered to report at Rolla, whou it is expected
thoy will bo turnea over to tho civil authorities to
answer the charge of murder. Warrants for their
arrest have already been issuod. Tho military
authority will aid in securing their punishment."

Messrs. Fisher k Hauken, Cotton Planters at Newborn, N. C, write, July, IBM, on mllown:
"The Phosphate of Lime we purchased of you gives good satisfaction. Last year we applied fifty-five (55) tons to
three hundred and seventy-five (375) acres of land for cottoD, say about (300) three hundred pounds per acre. We rub
bed the seed in the Phosphate, and also ?owed it in the drill with tho seed at the time of planting. On a portion ot
the land wo applied a ton dressing of the Lime at the second boeing. Throughout the season the cotton plants grew
well?the leaves were of a dark, healthy color, and "no rust" was seen on the plantation. Tbc ravage? oi the
army worm prevented us from realizing the benefit from our outlay for the Lime in full, still the large number o?
partly grown bolls and forms gave some idea of what tho crop would have been could they have matured Al
though we saved a large quantity of manure on the place last year, our confidence in tho value of your Phosphate
led us to purchase of you last spring seventy tons, one-half of which we used ourselves, and tho balance waa
bought for a friend, who was satisfied of its worth in cotton culture. At the time of writing this, our crop is look
ing finely, and promises an abundant yield. One portion of our plantation consists of highlands with n clay sub
soil, running near the surface; the remainder is flat and inclined to be sandy. The owner of tho placo t"lln us tha?
he dJd not succeed with cotton on this last port; hut owing, as we think, to the liberal une of your Phosphat* w?
have now a good crop growing upon it. This is but the second season of cotton growing with us; still from'?t?
experience thus far, we do not hesitate to recommend your Phosphate of Lime as a manure well adapted to tho
wants of the cotton planter."
New?etuvt, 8. C, October, 1B60
Professor J. J. Mafes? Dear Sir: I bought twenty bags of your Nitrog.-.nized Superphosphate of Lime of
yonr Agents, Messrs. H. A N. E. Solomon, Hamburg, S. C. (who solicited a statement of its effecta), and applied it
to forty acres of my poorest cotton land. " *
This land is on the public road, where its effect? wero seen. My neighbors, who are acquainted Hilft the land
were astonished at the luxuriant growth of the cotton where I used your Huperpbosphate. It produced better cot
ton, and a larger amount, than on my good land; less work was needed in making the cotton than on my other
land. Not apartide, of rust was to be seen whero I applied your Superphosphate, while the rust prevailed over
every other portion of the crop.
Respectfully yours, DAVID PAYNE
Note.?Mr. Payne's good land compart? favorably with the best cotton lands on the Saluda River. Tho Saluda .
bottoms are proverbial for producing large quantities of cotton.

Mr. 3. 3. VUrZB?Dear Sir: In reply to yours of the 1st inst., I cheerfully state: I have used Map??' Nitro?
geniaed Superphosphate of Lime on my cotton of the present year, and am perfectly aattsflod with its yield.
I can recommend it to my neighbors with confidence, as a pure and effective manure, and would give it tho -
preference to any other in the market
Yours, respectfully, THOS. DAVIS.
Mr. Charles VT. Miion, of Bdenton, Chowan County, N. C. writes to Mr. Bockovcr:
In regard to Mapea' Phosphate it worked admirably for me, the product being lully equal if not superior to>
both the manures before mentioned It did not start the young plant as early as either tho other manures; but it.
seemed to retain its color and pods much better, and no symptom of rust was ever seen where it was applied?all
the land I planted in cotton being about the same quality and strength. CHARLES w. Ml XON.
Extract from * letter from Colonel Gideon Dowse, of BerzeUa, near Augusta, Oa., August. 1600:
3. 3. Mapks?Dear Sir: I have no hesitation In saying that on my own farm your Superphosphate has been?
and is now, superior in its effects, where I have applied it on my cotton, to either lot-manure or cotton seed; and?,
as compared te the land without manure In the same field (in my opinion the only true way to test it), it is as four
to one in the number of grown bolls, and as ten to one in the young fruit and forms, in favor of tho Superplios
phate.
This opinion Is formed from a close and critical examination by my overseer and myself. Thcro is one results -
from its application, which, if it had nothing else to recommend it, is of incalculable value, and that is, it does
seem to guard against that worst enemy of the cotton plant, namely, the rust.
I have applied it to land that invariably rusts cotton, and there is as yet not a sign of rust in it, whilo the sam?
kind of land just adjoining la completely ruined by it already. I
This experiment confirms that made by Mr. Lomas, of B. C, last year;'and I am fully persuade?] that any plants,
manured with it does withstand a drought better and keeps green longer than with any other application that bat?:
come under my notice. I have seen cotton, corn, okra, melons and other garden plants, that havo kopt pira
during the terrible drought that has so completely destroyed all our gardens, and my nutmeg melon? aro as greeik
and blooming as'beautifully as In spring. ,
I havu written this as the result of my Judgment from closo observation. When I shall have gathered my cropp?
it will give me pleasure to give you th? result from actual weight and measure.
Yours. GIDEON DOWSE.

New Yobk, October 29, 18?0. I
We have, in the course of an extensive agricultural correspondence, gathered evidence of tho superior valu?*
of Mapes' Nitrogenlzed Superphosphate of Lime upon the cotton fields of tho South, where Peruvian Guano had
been used with partial, sucooas. The bolls have been heavier, and of greater number, the yield of cotton per acre has
been larger, and ??at is also of tho greatest consequence, no rust i* discovered In cotton field* whoro this article is
applied, to which may be added it? jpccoHar lasting power of fertilization, and ita comparative cheapness. Thes?>
fact* bay? come to ua In'wrresponil?ncio from parues who have used other like r-genta, and who givo thin by for tbi>
highest praiacC *-? vJL U- !--*- ' -' -
"We have arrived at the conclusion, after considerable experiment ourselves, and of careful search for tho ro~
milts of the trials of others, that Mapes' Fertilizer has more of the property needed in a general manure, in hortioul~
ture and agriculture, than any thing elso of the kind we are acquainted with." i

3. 3. Mapes, Esq., New York?Dear Sir: I bought four tons Of yonr Superphosphate of Linio for my coito?**
crop, also some guano, and have tried them sido by side on the same quality of land. Not a partiel* of rust was te".
be seen where your Superphosphate was usad ; and I also applied atablo manure on a portiou of my land. Th?>
cotton had the nist when the latter wan used. The yield of cotton was splendid. when the Superphosphate wasj.
used, despite the extraordinary dry year. When I applied the other manure the yield was not good.
I applied the Sup?irphosphate at the rate of 100 lbs. per acre, and belicvo it would have paid better if I had pu?.
xnore per acre.
I sold my cotton In Hamburg yesterday at ?,'c. per pound over tho usual market price. Tho lint was consld*.
ered very ?tronc and heavy. I consider yours a reliable manure. r
