We still are uncertain as to what time we shall tarry here. Parties of horse are detached to scour the country :—Last night they brought in 10 of the insurgents, and this day 2 or 3. Among these are several notorious rebels ; one being accused of forging letters, with the signature of the governor, expressing a wish that "the people should perish in their opposition, and they would be protected;" another is accused of inciting, and a third of having the pole set up in this place. They have been examined, and committed to goal to stand trial at the Federal court to be held here.
The first ten were taken about 12 miles distant (over the Mountain) without any resistance, out of one house.
I am told that information is received that about 100 more are collected about 20 miles off; tis expected a party will be detached after them this evening.
Wednesday morning, October 19.
The light horse brought in about 10 more last night.
It appears that several of the persons taken up have been bailed in trifling sums and permitted to depart—this has caused some dissatisfaction.
