dated January 18.
"Our country is very quiet-the people
seem perfectly convinced of their past
folly, and on Thursday last a meeting of
some of the principal insurgents took place
at Parkinson's Ferry, in order to raise, by
subscription, a sum of money to indemnify
the sufferers by the late insurrection.—
A committee of five persons was appointed
to repair to this place to wait on
Gen. Neville, and the other sufferers, to
ascertain the amount of their losses they
are expected this day. Marshall has subscribed
100 pounds, John Cannon the
same sum, and Parkinson (who has returned)
has also subscribed very largely."
